THEY RUN A SUGAR CANE MILL.
Two Helpful Refugees From Cuba In a
Florida Town

One of the sights in a town in west
Florida is an old fashioned sugar cane
mill run by n small boy and girl IL is
near the business part OF the city and
there is a brisk demand for all the sugar
cane juice the two children can make.
"We~came from Cuba. you know" the
little girl told a visitor. I'VE were
brought up on a sugar plantation, but
everything my parents had was destroyed
in the revolution. Then we came here
and few months later my father died.
"We had to help mother take care of
our younger brothers and sisters and at
first we didn't know what we should ever
find to do. / had not yet been taught
to sew so vas not able to helpmy mother
do the fine neediework or the embroidery
by which she was trying to earn money.
IL was very hard for my brother TO get
any work that he was strong enough to
do because he was then so small.
we saw this old cane mill. It had
been thrown away by a man when he put
In a new mill that can do four times as
much work In the came time and easier.
II was just the kind We had used on our
plantation. So my brother told my
mother that IL he could get il we, he and
I. could make money selling the juice.
So we began business with it.
People who have never seen an old
fashioned cane mill stand around and see
us work and nearly always buy juice at
least enough to taste but they are not our
steady customers. for as a rule they do
not like cane Juice. Our regular custom
ers are natives. or Cubans like ourselves.
We have been accustomed TO drinking
cane juice all our lives and are very fond
Of 1t, just as people from cold climates
drink tea.
AT homo In Cuba we had several va
rieties Of cane and every Cuban can tell
you just the kind It is by tasting even
ever so little of the juice. Here we use
only the green sugar cane. WIt Is not so

ture. Custom has inviolably determined
the nature of the gift and IL takes tho
form OF a family towel. such towel as
little kichi has already been presenting
to her American friends.
The family towel, woven long and
narrow of very excellent linen. bears in
fast blue dyes the family name. crest and
business mark in addition TO the design
chosen. Folded up in its wrapper Of strong
tissuelike paper il is the gift of the season.
On the cover OF the towel-all towel wrap
pers bear the same design-are the pic
tured emblems OF the seasons good
wishes. the bamboo. the pine and cornu-
copia--a wordless wish for uprightness,
health and prosperity. Close by is the
happy new year greeting. or it's euqiya-

together at this time. which is the only
time that questions Of caste do not arise
They play at cards. they play at tennis
they play at shuttleoock. Kichi tells
how she and her girl friends would sit
on the floor hour after hour dressed in
their new frocks and play at cards. The
little children generally prefer TO have
their ceremonial costumes removed when
they start playing. but the girls like to
stay dressed up.
Quite contrary to general opinion.
Kichi says that Japanese fashions change.
and change decidedly. She was quite
hurt when the ultra modishness OF her
new ceremonial costume WAS not re-
marked by virtue of it's dyed in border.

The servants also have their period

they must be busy providing the enter
tainment for visitors during the first days

Sorghum is yet another cane, hut we
never see that in Cuba. Sorghum is only
grown in places where the frosts come
too early for the regular sugar cane to
mature. ] have only seen it few times,
and then thought it looked and tasted
more like fresh cornstalks than sugar
cane.
Though we sell most Of our juice right
here and see tho people drink it. there
are some customers who send for IL and
take It to their homes. Many OF them
tell us that they would be willing to pay
extra IL we could deliver the juice to them
at certain hours, but as there are only
my brother and me we cannot accept
their offer. Sometimes We clear as much
as $50 n week and then again we hardly
make $40. As we never put cane in the
mill until there is some prospect OF SELL
ing the juice we never waste any
1Of course our cane juice makes the
best kind OF candy. and often we have
orders for several quarts for that pur-
pose. but most people like candy in the
from cane juice has to be carefully boiled
and then carefully pulled. II is very hot
work cooking the candy here early in
the fall. 49,
II the season was longer we could
make plenty OF money so that mother
would not have to sew for money. but
cane cutting lasts only a few weeks.
and though we keep sor,e of the cane
as long as we can II will dry and soon
there Is no juice in it, Besides. most
people only like it during the regular
season.
-Yes. we mako enough so that my
