looks abroad for fortune thinks only
Of Africa, Australasia, Canada or
America and usually it is in one or
other Of these places that he elects to
settle; though it is doubtful whether
the islands do not offer him chances Of
prizes greater than any to be found in
The other colonies. 1t can be said OF no
country in the world that it is more
beautiful than Jamaica; it can be said
of few, if any, that they are richer.
True, there is no gold, no great min
eral wealth; but there are the soil and
climate, the rich forests and. richer
valleys. There are the sugar planta-
tons, the fruit gardens, the tobacco
fields and the cattle pens. There are
the cities also which, even to-day, are
not too we'll stocked with merchants.
Alert men make money quickly in
these islands; not so quickly as those
lucky adventures who and potato
sized diamonds and rich gold "pock-
cts perhaps, but quickly enough; and
hunger is a thing almost unknown
even to the poorest West Indian ne
gro. The fields and the hedges pro-
vide rich fruits-the banana, the or
ange and the mango, and in the towns,
fruit enough to last a man a whole
day can be purchased for a copper coin.
In Jamaica the life of the white man
is almost ideal. If he is a planter, he
lives in a substantial house, built in
the center of a lovely garden which is
always aflame with the most brilliant
flowers in the world. He has a saddle
horse and a buggy, and he will find a
club in the nearest town (Which can
not be many miles distantO and all
the English sports at hand. Though
he may not be a rich man, though he
may never make money enough out
of his plantation to return to the old
country or purchase a landed estate,
he will never want for comforts or
ordinary luXuries.
I have heard it said. and I believe it
to be true, that III these islands a man
with a capital of five thousand dollars
can, when he has gained a thorough
knowledge of practical planting, make
an income of from $500 to $1,000 a
year.
Indeed, Jamaica is a happy little
place. The sun IS always there, and
the thousand rivers which dance along
the mountain slopes and flow swiftly
through the valleys toward the sea,
always suggest pleasant music and
healthfulness. The negro workers are
a merry people; they laugh at their
work and on their way to work; they
laugh when they go home to bed and
when they rise in the morning. The

BLACK BALL
MEANT DEATH.
Former German Army Officers Mys-
FERROUS Absence Due to
Suicide?

Marinette. Wis, July 14.-[Special.1
That he drew the black ball in duel
by lots with a German army officer, and
that he will be found dead as a result,
is the substance of letter just received
by friends of Victor Won Task OF this
city, who disappeared July 4.
Former German Army Officer.
Won Task, who is a young man, was
a bookkeeper at the MenOminee, Mich,
Electrical works, and said to be a for
mer officer of the German army.
According to the letter signed by the
missing man, his death would result
from a dispute of several years ago
while he was a German army officer.
A duel was proposed and then it was
agreed that they draw lots as to who
of the ordinary methods of duellsts In
Europe. Won Task drew the black ball,
which meant his death by his own hand.
The letter is dated July and was
written apparently at Green Bay, Wis.
A search is now being made for the
body in Green Bay.
Was He Hounded to Death?
Among his friends here it is stated
that the duel took place several years
ago, and that Won Task Immediately
thereafter left Germany, being afraid to
carry out his promise.
Then, it is declared, either through a
sense of honor. or through being hound
ed or fearing pursuit from his enemy,
who knew he was still alive, Won Task,
was forced to carry out his part of the
agreement to die.
Henry Cramer, do years old, took an
ounce of strychnine today with suicidal
intent. He called to his wife and died
in terrible agony after a few minutes.
Dependency over i'll health and lack Of
work is given as the cause. He leaves
large family.
