making an exceptionally good execu-
tive, even better than his best friends
had hoped for His rule is just, yet
lenient, policy that must be followed
in dealing with the Latins getting their
first lessons in independence. The
Gomez cabinet is composed of men well
selected and admirably fitted to advise
the executive.
"Cuba's business for this year will
break all records, and in the number of
tourists new mark is being set. We
have more than fifty thousand year

"President Gomez, Vice President Ia
vas and all members of the cabinet feel
very kindly toward Americans and
American interests, and they lose no
opportunity to show this feeling. About
six thousand Cuban young men and
women are receiving their education in
the United States. AS they return to

land it may readily be seen what a
great influence they will have in Ameri-

Well +. P. Cooke also has his mansion
within the bounds of the sacred pre-

were discussed.
One was that conservation should De

putting conservation money INTO roaus
and bridges. belt roads and other I'M
mediate and lasting improvements.
There were some present, perhaps, VINO
didn't know conservation from con-
versation and who were more experience
ed with the latter In any event, con-
servation did not hold the stage.

This would intimate that the Russians

Drake thought twenty-five per cent.

well be devoted to belt roads and the

How PurpIe Was plsoovered.

The discovery of purple was achiev-
ed by " very humble boy, fisherman
named Alonzo. His master. also fish
erman. left him in the boat, telling
him to watch the nets. While Alon-
20 did this he also did something else,
his master one day discovered He
marked pieces of linen with letters
and designs. A ring which he had
found one day upon the shore served
>as stamp for these designs. but what
attracted the attention of Alonzo's
master was that they were made in a
color not then known-purple.
The master inquired how this color
had been obtained.
AlonTo could not explain any bet.
ter than by showing how 1t was done.
He dropped the ring into the Shiny
matter of a shellfish. The mantle Of
this creature had been torn in some
way. and the Shiny matter was oozing
from 1t. This made marks on the lin
en- which when dried by the sun turn
ed into purple. This color was adopt

AionZo lived as the color of royalty
and has thus remained to this day.

CHRISTMAS CARDS FATHER.
British Artist Originated This Form of
Greeting In 1914.

British Artist Originated This Form of
Greeting In 1914.
| Some day surely grateful monu
ment will be erected to the memory of
/ w. A. Dobson, the parent of the Christ
mas card. for he was true herald of
peace and good will to the world and
no small benefactor to commerce says
a writer In Tit-Bits.
In 1874 Mr.. Dobson. who later be-
came famous member OF the Royal
academy, was young man earning a
modest income as master Of the gov
eminent School of Design at Birming-
ham. One evening in December In
stead of writing his usual letter of
Christmas good wishes to friend IL
occurred to him to substitute pic
torial greeting, and, taking a piece of
card about twice as large as a modern
postcard. he began to draw on 1t. In
the center Of the three panels into
which he divided his design he sketch
ed family group raising glasses to
the health of distant friends amid
seasonable environment of holly and
mistletoe. while on each side Of this
festal scene he drew a picture of a
deed of charity.
This card Mr.. Dobson dispatched to
his friend. giving II no further thought.
The friend. however, was delighted
with his novel and artistic Christmas
greeting and showed Il everywhere
proudly. to the equal admiration OF his
acquaintance. Everybody begged for
u similar card. and In the following
December the amiable Mr.. Dobson
etched another design and this time
had 1t autographed and sent out cop
les by the score. In the following
year he had several imitators, and the
Christmas card was at last launched
on the tide of popular favor. although
even then IL Mr.. Dobson had been told
that his modest card Of 1874 would
have 40.0O0.0OO descendants sixty five
years later In Great Britain alone he
would probably have thrown up his
hands In amazement and incredulity.
