HAlTI'S new MINISTER.
II. PauIus sannon, Formerly Minister
of Foreign Affairs, Well Qualified.

n. Fauius Sannon, Formerly Minister
of Foreign Affairs, Well Qualified.
Two days before President Roose-
welt turned over the affairs Of state to
President Taft, Hon. 81. Paulus San
non, the new Haitian minister to the
United States, presented his creden-
tials and was officially received. Com
plimentary greetings were exchanged
by the representative from Haiti and
Mr.. Roosevelt.
Mr.. Sannon is eminently qualified to
fill the post which has been assigned
him. For many years he was minis
ter of foreign affairs In Haiti, posi-
tion which corresponds to that of sec
retary Of state in this country. As
such he was the director of 1.-The for
eign policy of the Black Republic and
gave orders to all her foreign minis
tiers.
Not only by training, but by educa-
ton and by nature, is Mr.. Sannon well
fitted for diplomatic honors. The best
schools of Haiti and France were at
tended by him, and such environ
ments added to the dignity and culture
with which nature had endowed this
dark skinned gentleman, who at thir-
ty-eight finds himself representing his
government at Washington, holding
his own among the members of one
Of the most brilliant diplomatic corps
in the world.
The Haitian government provides
for her minister here in keeping with
the dignity of his official station. He
entertains lavishly in the beautiful lie.

Cheertulness and Mirth.

Il have always preferred cheerful
ness to mirth. the latter | consider
as an act, the former as habit of the
mind Mirth is short and transient,
cheerfulness fixed and permanent.
Those are often raised into the great
est transports Of mirth who are sub
iect to the greatest depressions of mel
ancholy. On the contrary, cheerfulness,
though it does not give the mind such
exquisite gladness, prevents us from
falling into any depths OF sorrow.
Mirth is like flash of lightning that
breaks through a gloom of clouds and
glitters for moment; cheerfulness
keeps up a kind Of daylight in the
mind and fills it with steady and per.
petual serenity. Joseph Addison.
