OF SPAIN.

Malaga is a beautiful place, and is
very interesting. There is an old
Moorish fort on the hills Just back of
the city which presents very strik-
ing appearance. The harbOr is quite
sheltered bay on the Mediterranean,
and is very safe. The country around
Malaga from where the emigrants were
recruited is very beautiful. The chief
products are oranges, olives and al
monds. \ great many cheap hats of
the chip sort are manufactured in and
around Malaga, and shipped from there
to New York in large quantities. Sugar
cane Is grown in the vicinity of Ma
laga, but not to a very great extent.
One Of the peculiar sights to me was
to see the delivery of unadulterated
milk, where the boy leads the cow
around TO the door and milks her right
before your eyes, or where he takes
his flock of goats around and milks
them in front of your door.
One of the things that interested
me particularly in Spain was the milf
tary organization known as the Civil
Guards of Spain. This organization
seems To have practically an unlimited
power. and to exercise a supervision
over the police. The men are a pick
ed class, and certainly present one of
the finest appearances of any military
l ever had the good for
tune to meet.

GREAT TOUR
CONTINUED from Page One).
AGRICULTURAL.

From what l could learn, the feuda
land system IS in operation to a very
high degree in the Island of San Nj
guel. Large farms are not seen. Small
farming prevails entirely. Grapes,
pineapples, tobacco and beet sugar
would now be considered the chief
agricultural products Of the islands.
Tea is also grown. The pineapples are
grown in hot houses IN the Island OF
San Miguel, and are exported to Lon
don or Hamburg The pines are not SO
<7afgs as those produced in these Is
sands, but the fruit is fine and deli
SiOus. In former years oranges were
the chief export, but some disease or
blight destroyed this very important
product. .
The mapafaeture of alcohol from
sweet potatoes until recent years was
a very profitable industry, and there
are three or four factories in Ponta
DeIgada. Owing TO the over supply of
alcohol, the attention has been turned
in the last year OF so TO the cultiva-
tion of the beet sugar industry, and
the first crop was harvested in the
fall of 1906.
POLITICAL.
The Azores as we'll as the Madeira !
group are Portuguese possessions. and /
nave the same political, admini>rra-
tive and Judicial organization. The|
inhabitants are of the Latin race, and /.
Portuguese is the language spoken. The
state religion Is Roman Catholic.
The nine islands form three admin
istrative districts, each one having its
Civil Governor: Ponta Delgada, So
called from the city of Ponta Delgada,
composed of the islands of st. Michael
Or San Miguel and St. Mary's or Santa
Maria; Angra do Heroismo, composed
of Terceira, St. George and Graciosa,
and the district Of Horta.
The island that probably seems the
most important to the American citi-
zen, while perhaps the smallest of the
group, is Santa Maria. It was at this
island that Columbus touched on the ,
18th of February, 1893, on his return
from the discovery of America. The
church is still standing where part of
his crew returned thanks in a semi
nude condition, in fulflment of a vow
made in a heavy storm, during the
voyage.

world in dead earnest when he arrives

ROME.

/ arrived in Rome on November z,
and left for Madrid via Paris on No
vember 16. / did not have an oppor
tunity to see many of the places of
interest in Rome. | visited ST. Peter s,
however, the Coliseum and the Pan
theon. In my mind, the most inter
esting sight is the Pantheon. The
building is about 40 feet in diameter,
built in p B. c., and is lighted only
by a circular opening about 80 feet
in diameter in the center of the dome
This pane of glass, so far as | could
see, has no support whatever, except
ing around the edge
1 saw the tomb of Victor Emmanuel
in the Pantheon and the tomb of Ra-
phael, the painter.
1 would recommend that anybody
who intends to visit Rome should read
Hawthorne S "Marble Faun'' Just be-
fore he goes and after his return.

The northeastern part of Spain, q
short distance from the frontier of
France, is very rocky, not quite so pre-
cipitous as our Rocky Mountain region,
but the rocks appear to me to be
very much more plentiful, in fact, very
little vegetation Of any kind whatever
IS TO be seen. Madrid is very beau
tifuI place, and the parks contain a
great many interesting statues and
monuments.

 In many cases the GroWth is much greater.
 An increase of 10 per cent. a year in gross receipts will double the business in less than seven years. That's fncre aSin8 some, isn't it7

The Price of Success

We are constantly meeting people who
complain that everything is against
them; that conditions, environment, cir
cumstances, all conspire to keep them
down, inactive, mediocre; that if they
were circumstanced as So-and-So they,
too, could do great things. Such people
are never quite ready to grasp the op-
portunity-they are ''just a-going to"
as soon as this, or that thing happens.
They are always living in the future
the afterwhile;" :" they will be ready to
do some day. Meantime, the opportur-
ity slips away, the occasion is grasped
by another, and they go on, getting more
dscontented and disheartened, every
day. They never seem to realize that
they, alone, are to blame for their fail,
ure to ''get on. In this age Of sharp
competition, one must not touch their
opportunities with their finger-tps
they must take hold with both hands,
and get right down to hard, persistent
work. There is but one price fOr sic
cess, and that is downright, earnest, hard
work, and the higher the success aimed
at, the harder the work that must be
done. Surroundings are nothing; cnvl-
rOnment neither makes nor mars. One
must learn to make his own environment
at least to make it subservient to his
endeaVOrs. 1t is not where we work, so
much as how we do the work One that
is determined to succeed will become so
absorbed in the business he is about that
he will make his own environment. In
order to succeed at anything, we must
work now, and here. AS it is out in the
world, so it is in the home-we accom-
plish only by earnest, persistent d,iug,
by plotting, planning, thinking, expert
menting, and then by working out the
plans and experiments to the best cf cur
ability
Many busy people are shameful
wasters of time and opportunity, simply
because they do low things when higher
things are possible; they waste time in
half-doing things, in botching, bungling
and blundering, and then in doing
things over because they were not done
right in the first place. Marden, in

short stories dealing with Zionism from
the enthusiastic and from the cynical
standpoint, and in "Unto Each Man

inter marriage problem.
A thorough cosmopolitan and a Bo-
hemian, Mr.. Gordon knows Berlin, VI
enna Warsaw, Gracow and Paris as
well, almost as he does London. After
leaving Cambridge University he lived
for some time in the French capital,
and the fruit Of this was his novel OF
life in the Latin quarter, "In Years OF
Transition' Mr. Gordon has also ven
tured into the field of the psuedo-ro
mantle novel with ''The Queens Guam
dry" which is under consideration for
stage purposes by one OF London s fore
most actor-manager.
The first dramatic work of Mr.. Cor
don was rather unfortunate 1t was a
Captain Dreyfus play, which, after be-
ing accepted for production, was pro-
hibited by the Lord Chamberlain s cen
sor. "A dramatic version, in one act, OF
one of his prettiest short stories,
'Daughters Of Shem," has been seen
on the English stage, and Mr.. Gordon
has recently completed a four-act ver-
sion of this story of Russian frontier
life, the production Of which in Yiddish,
probably by Mr.. Jacob Adler of New
York, is being looked forward to with
extreme interest.
In private life Mr.. Gordon is rather
an elusive character. He is strangely
reticent, and sometimes in company APP
pears moody and depressed. But those
who have the pleasure of his acquaint-
.ance know how boisterous he can be,
especially when he is playing with chill
dren, and his conversation sparkles
with that epigram and wit which en-
livens the pages of his books. He rarely
makes his appearance on the platform
or in the debating circles, although he
is much sought after by secretaries. 1t
is becoming even more difficult than ever
to lure him from his untidy lair, his
study Those who call upon him will
find him working hard, lying prone on
his back, with cigar between his teeth
and his eyes closed. But he is not
asleep. He is listening intently to the
sweet strains Of violin into which an
extremely pretty girl is putting all the
ardor Of her soul. The young lady,
Miss Esthem Zichlin, who just made her
debut on the concert platform, and for
whom a career as successful as that of
Miss Marie Hall has been predicted will
shortly lead Mr.. Gordon, very willingly,
to the altar at the Great Synagogue,
London. where the nOveliSt's father is
