thing of a native sense OF humOr. so,
repressing his first impulse TO correct his
hostess erroneous impression of his real
relations toward Mrs. Tringham- Tamns,
he decided to let her remain in undis-
turbed possession of this idealistic view of
himself

With this enigmatical, prophetic fare
well sounding in his ears, Arthur took his
leave and hurried to the elevator. His
wife stood expectantly in the middle of
their sitting room He noticed, with a
little surprise, that she held the framed
photograph of his predecessor, Tamms
the first, in her hand He was about to
greet her in his customary, easy-going
way-with a careless word of welcome
and possibly a jOke-but stopped short

self-pOssessiOn, by her unusual expression

nothing if not melodramatic-it could
scarcely be called tragic, because there

the group formed by herself and Arthur

kind of gay Sir Kay or second Mrs Tan

CUBA is PROSPEROUS.
Island Receipts For Pas. Year Were
\ ss1,751 ,os5.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 22.-
In statement furnished 10 the press
regarding "The Prosperity of Cuba :
Senior ouesada, the Minister from
that Island. declared that its prosper.
fty was such that even the most OPP
timistic are surprised. The state.
ment says in part:
"The receipts for the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1905, were s61,T51 ,o95
(cents omitted throughou.). or this
amount $25.944,3a2 was from public
revenues and ss5,677,sse was the pro-
duct Of the loan for the payment OF
the Cuban army. The custom re.
ceipts were s4,s4e,942 more than the
previous year. The expectations
reached $1o1,oo0,o77, the import1.
tons s61, S37, 1854, leaving trade bal
ance in favor of Cuba OF about s4o,.
000, 900.
During the year payments were
made to the amount of S44,51o,373,
of which sf7,2S6.488 was for the reg.
ular budget and $22,oG6.6SS for paying
the army claims.
The total receipts for the year were
$61, Isl ,095, which, plus s7,O99,5s4, the
balance from the previous year gives
a grand total of s6s.9s4,714. Deduct.
ing expenditures there was balance
of s24,S4o,S07 in the Cuban Treasury
on July l last, which. after making
some allowances for outstanding
surplus.
Part of this will be devoted to
public works and part to serve as ba.
sis for the money to be applied to set.
