of the sugar estate owners to harvest
their crop before another revolution should
occur that very high wages were paid.
This largely increased the cost Of manu-
featuring sugar compared to years of nor
NAL conditions.
Constant need Of funds to pay labor

in the United States when the domestic

petition with Cuban sugars that prices
ruled very low up to April 1. By that time
fully 20 per cent Of the Cuban crop, 1t is
estimated, had been sold by its manufac-
turers, who had settled with the small
planters on the basis of the low price
which had prevailed
"It is for all these reasons that I say
Cuba's sugar industry, as a whole, this
year has not paid expenses, and very many
estates find themselves financially embar-
raised and unable to borrow what they

Sheldon Jackson, an official employ

occasion to tell the scholars how II
was observed by the whites, and ex-
planned some features about the day

guage would admit Of; so that, by
the close Of school the day before,
they pretty well knew why 1t was OBJ

made up lot Of little bags out
Of empty -four sacks, and into each
one put eight cubes of white sugar,
about a dozen pieces of dried apples
and a dozen raisins-not very ap-
propriate assortment for a Christmas
present for a white child, but it was
the best we had and I found out aft
erward that the selection was very
much appreciated by the little Es-
kimo.
although our supplies we're very
limited, / concluded to take enough
from such, as we had and give each
family the same assortment. It was
made up of tin can filled with -four,
eight navy biscuits. one pint Of
rice, one-half pound Of sugar and one
third pound Of tea. There are ten
houses in the village, and about 100
persons all told. The supplies above
enumerated were made up into ten
packages.
Il had the herders harness one Of
the deer teams to a sled. and at II
o'clock started with four natives for
the village. a half mile west Of the
station.
when we reached the first house,
I took a fiashlight view OF the deer
standing by the little skin window
through which a faint CLEAN Of light
was thrown from the oil lamp burn

this was the first time in the history
Of civilization that live Santa Claus
made his midnight visit upon an erI
rand of mercy with a team Of rein
deer. and that the Eskimo we're the
first TO actually experience what
throughout Christendom is only
