From the Travel Magazine.
Four hours east of Havana in Pinar
del Rio is one OF the most valuable tracts
Of land on the face Of the earth. There
are but two places In the whole world
where the ground is worth so much as
in the Vuelta Abajo.
Those two places are that portion Of
the valley OF the Rhine where the Jo-
hannisberger grape Is grown from which
Liebfraumlich ard other fine wines are
made, and the Kimberley diamond dis
trict. In South Africa In the Vuelta
Abajo the soil grows tobacco. which
when properly cured, rolled, and stamped
can be sold in the shape of scigars TO
the rate of $3.50 each.
What. then. is the marvel of this price
less tobacco ground? To the eye-noth-
ing Dusty red loan rather thin on
rocky hillsides and sparingly spread with
tender concern as a half bald man dis
perses his hair impartially over his head.
Next 70 each tobacco vega Ga farm of an
average extent forty acres) is a hay
field. The hay is not raised for animals.
II is cut and spread on the tobacco land
and there decomposed and washed into
the soil by the rains. 1t is the fertilizer.
But it is not hay fertilizer alone that
makes Vuelta Abajo tobacco what Il is.
nor yet the cheesecloth protection that
keeps out the hottest rays of the sun,
nor yet the choice seed. nor even yet the
mild, equable nature of the climate. nor
the chemical composition Of the soil.
For every one of these conditions
is reproduced in other places without that
surprising and delicious climax of to-
baeco culture that comes alone from the
heart Of Pinar del Rio.
Neither science nor experience can
tell exatcly what IL is that makes Vuclta
Abajo tobacco just what 1t Is" writes
Richard Barry, ''but the native Cuban
knows the secret In strict confidence
he sometimes confides this secret. and
intend now for the first time to make
1t public. The great superiority Of Vuclta
Abajo tobacco over all others lies in the
fact that each year on Easter Sunday
the soil of every vega In the province is
anointed with the blood of a fighting
cock killed in honorable combat.
THAT I might have no doubt Of this
astonishing agricultural theory I was
ing cocks of the district While I was
there the old trainer gave them their
morning meal OF bananas and milk and
massaged them under the wing pits with
Malaga wine.

into Cuban politics. The most brilliant
man in affairs there is Alfredo ZayAs.
now vice president. He Is the Elihu Root
OF the island, an attorney. shrewd. hard
working. far-sighted. Unfortunately for
his presidential aspirations he listened
long and eagerly to American ideas Of
Cuban affairs as they should be. That is
where he fell down. Jose Miguel Gomez
listened to Cuban affairs as they are.
'Zayas thought It would be a good
thing to suppress the cock fight. The
Americans told him it would be. 1t is
cruel sport, it is barbaric. 1t is not
pleasant to the Anglo-Saxon taste; so the
Americans told Zayas. and Zayss lis
tened, too eagerly. Gomez knew he was

Many Good Stories.
In fscA many good stories might have
been lost TO the reader had 1t not been
for certain omissions in our nsslitary sys-
TEN.
A Russian soldier posted by the Neya
side at the season of the annual river
rising was rescued just in time-the icy
water was up TO his armpits.
It is not doubted that such Incidents
were common. There was IN all prob
ability no little boy casabianea. But
what does II matter. The number of
souls that the story has fired shows that
ii is a true thing. fact or no.
One more recital and the poor sentinel
may be allowed TO walk his post in
pesee- This can be vouched for The
writer was passing the gate Of the ma
tional armory in Springfield. Mass, in a
horse car with mo show OF the military"
about him.

Look therer' said one; see that big
fellow coming down the hill with another

will see him leave him and take another
one away. and this is going on all the
time-every few hours. Now ] want ter

those fellers cum by th'rsei's and go
back by th'rseI's and save money and
time IN the business-that's what I wan

Of the United States, 1t is apprehended,
had assisted in enacting the law which
required that the sentinel should be duly
posted" land IN the very manner objee-
ted tor, so that he might be empowered
20 enforce the law. From which II ap-
pears that some persons may live a
whole lifetime without comprehending
the use Of a sentinel; whereas some
other one. Ike the youth of eight sum
mers. may find a solution for this ques-
ton at the very threshold OF his military
career.
Based on Modern Teaching.
In late readings on military subjects
the views and opinions OF military men.
based upon what may be called modern
contests. are so much AT variance with
the ordinary or customary teachings that
they forcibly recall an interview had with
a sentinel at one OF our military posts Just
after the civil war The sentinel was
an italian: he had been several times
wounded and was MANNED. but not 10
any extent disqualified for duty.

YOUTH GIVEN UP FOR DEAD
SUDDENLY COMES TO LIFE

Memphis, Tenn.-David Kaplan, s
years old son of a tailor, is one
Memphis boy who knows how it is to
be given up for dead and how it is to
suddenly come to life again in the
presence Of his parents and his two
little sisters and his younger brother.
The boy was struck in the pit Of
the stomach by a cloC or dirt thrown
by another boy shortly after o'clock
Friday evening. He fell 70 the side
walk unconscious.
About 9 o'clock there was a flut-
tering of the pulse, which gave the
parents and watchers hope, but half
an hour later no pulse could be de-
tected \ doctor had been called,
but he failed to arrive until late. The
parents were certain that the ch D.
was dead.
An hour or 50 after daylight this
morning a change swept the Kaplan
home David gasped once or twice
at the group and stared about him.
The child looked at the tear-stained
faces Of his parents and sisters in
dumb bewilderment, but before he
could put a single Interrogation, he
was caught in two pairs OF tender
arms.

ANY WOMAN CAN
HAVE BEAUTIFUL. HAIR

Many women do not realize the at
fractions they possess because they
do not give proper attention to the
hair.
The women of Paris are famed for
their beauty, not because their facial
features are superior to those of other
women, but because they know how
to keep young by supplying vigor, lus-
ter and strength to the hair.
Three years ago Partisan Sage could
hardly be obtained in America. But
now this delightful hair tonic and
dressing can be had in every town in
America Tallman & Co. sell 1t for
80 cents large bottle, and they guar
antee 1t to grow beautiful, luxuriant
hair; to turn dull, lifeless hair into
lustrous hair; to stoy falling hair; to
stop itching of the scalp. Ask for

More About the August Magazines


Life for July IS has some excellent
yellow journal.
Scribners has a most notable coll
lection of writers in its August num-
Der. John Fox writes of a horse-
back journey taken through the VAL
ley of the Kingdom Come. He notes
that the conditions he described there
in his famous novel no longer exist,
the mountaineers do not even ask him
his destination, an unheard of thing
in the older days But they all know
Chad and his dog and could even
identify characters he had thought
were purely creatures OF his own i'm
agination.
Alice Brown writes of India and
Egypt in a story SO charming that in
parts the prose seems almost poetry.
The well known author of "Raffles"
has a tale calculated to make the
chills run properly down ones back.
Roosevelt still continues his ac-
count of African Game Trails"
which are SO well and amply Illus
trated by his son Kermit.
But the choicest selection of the
whole number Is an unfinished COM
edy by the great English novelist,
George Meredith, who died not so very
long ago. This is certainly a find"
upon which the editors of Scrlbner's
must congratulate themselves.

SAY GRAIN LAY Is FARCE.
RanChcrs Near Walla Walla Want In
spection Statue RepeaIed,

Walla Walla.-That the state grain
inspection law is a farce, costing the
state $4,000 a year TO play is the
claim of many farmers in the Walla
Walla valley, and they are making
plans for lobby at the next legis-
lature to repeal the enactment.
1t is claimed the law has no posi-
tive results for the farmers, and that
in many cases the tests are no fairer
than they were before. One farmer
claims he lost $500 by this inspection
when grain went through at 81
pounds, passed as such by the in
spector, when other tests showed it
was 5s pound wheat.
Several other kicks have been made,
and while there are some farmers
who believe in the law, more do not
and want it repealed.
