OF What Use Are weY

We sometimes wonder of what use
we are. and why we are put on earth
One day is added to another and we
seem to be no farther advanced on
the pathway of our lives. AS Mark
Twain would have put it, We do not
appear to be gaining on the scenery.
Yet there is room in the world. and
need in the world, for each and every
one of us, and therefore. we must keep
on going to the end. Emerson has a
poem in which the squirrel talks to
the mountain says: "If cannot carry
forests on my back neither can you
crack a nut" You can do something
nobody else can do; namely. live your
life. You have your chance. If you
will only take it, and I have mine. If
We can do nothing else we can at least
be some ones friend, and there is
nothing that the world more keenly
wants and more sadly needs.-Ladies'
Home Journal.

skill of Alaskan poas.

Some of the Alaskan dogs are bet
ter trail followers than others, and
some better leaders, says a writer in
the Detroit News. In blizzard the
best of these lose the trail, but In.
variabIy find 1t again.
When on the trail they eat but once
a day, then at the end OF the jour
ney. After feeding, like weary chill
dren. they fall asleep and are never
quarrelsome. 1t takes, on an aver.
age, 20 pounds Of meat day for a
team of IL dogs on hard route.
The dogs of the mail teams con-
sumed last year three tons of bacon
and one of rice. The rice and bacon
are cooked together with frozen fish
and eaten hot. The dogs are permit.
ted to eat all they want
When too hot they let 1t cool in the
snow. If near the sea or river they
will cunningly pull the vessel out on
the ice and test the temperature of
the contents with their long tongues
until the mess can be eaten without
burning the mouth. Frozen fish is the
staple food of all native dogs.

English Syndicate Secures Pas
ture Land in Brazil.
Plan Under Way for Exports on Huge
Scale - Building of Railways
Makes Gigantic Project
Feasible.

London.-The report that a wealthy
syndicate has been formed with the
object of rearing cattle on an enor-
nous scale in Brazil for export to the
principal markets of Europe has been
received with considerable interest in
this country, and in some quarters
even with surprise, it being imagined,
apparently, that Brazil never would
be likely to enter into serious competi-
ton with Argentina as a beef produc-
ing country. In the past, lack Of
transport facilities certainly rendered
enterprise of this kind out of the ques-
ton, but the development of the rail
way systems of the country has been
so remarkably rapid in recent times
that the difficulties which prevailed
are fast disappearing. On the score
of the suitability of the country for
cattle ranging those people intimately
acquainted with Brazils vast areas of
rich pasture lands have no doubts.
They prophesied long ago that one
day they easily might occupy lead
ing, If not first, place among countries

plies of meat from abroad.
Discussing the project, an official of
the Brazilian consulate in London
stated that they had not yet received
details concerning the territory &C.
quired, but it was considered likely
that it would prove to be situated in
the state of Piauhy in the north Of the
country. This state contains some of
THE finest pasture land in Brazil, and
already does small export trade in

WEARS BRAIDs TO WIN PRIZE
Mystery In the Unshorn Locks of
Stephen r. Lund, of Warren,
NJ, n.

Boston.-The only full-grown youth
in the land with hair that never has
been cut is wearing rich, thick locks
in braids like girl to win mys-
terious prize of $4,000.
That sounds like a romance, but
it's true. Here's the story.
The mystery boy is Stephen Rich
ard Lund, and he has lived all his
life at Warren, N. H., a little village
in the very heart of the White Noun
tain foothills. Stephen Lund will be
seventeen years old on the 9Th of next
July.
In answer to the query, why is 1t
that your son never has cut his hair,
Mrs. Lund replied pleasantly:
why, he never has, that's all. AS
a boy Stephen had beautiful hair,
just like a girl. 1t was thick, rich
and glossy, and we hated to cut it.
Year after year went by and we never
did cut it. Some say he can't cut 1t
or he'll lose all the money. But
there's nothing to that story. The
Lord knows wish he did have for
tune coming to him, but as far as
know he has not. Pretty soon, next
summer, perhaps, 1 guess he'll have
1t cut"

TRAITOR TO BOTH

after the battle of the Plains of Abra-
ham, and take possession of the
French posts here in the name of the
British king. Putnam and Stark both
were with him on that expedition. The
letters found by Historian Burton
were written by Rogers when in COM
mand of the post here, to some one
named Robertson, in which plans for
selling the post to the French govern
ment are discussed The letters indicate
that the bargain was about to be COM
pleted, but there is none to tell why
it finally failed
History has recorded that Major
Rogers was under suspicion when he
was transferred from Detroit to Mich
ilimackinac, but the proof of his trea-
son did not come to public light until
now. In 1776 Rogers was tried for
attempting to sell Michimilimackinac
to the Spaniards, who then controlled
the upper part of the old Louisiana
territory, but was acquitted.
RE then went to the Barbary states
and enlisted under the hey of Aigiers.

miles distant and 5000 feet above the
sea- From the main line extend a num-

branches other spurs AID tramways,

and arteries for the transportation of

imum Of handling
The main line is a common carrier
of both passengers and freight. Dis
elimination by the fruit company is
impossible under the terms of its
lease. At Port Limon the company
has built number of steel piers from
which the ships are loaded with ba-
nanas and coffee by special machtn-
cry. The company has large Offices at
Port Limon, and has in addition a
wireless station, hospital, quarters
for its employees, light and power
plants and wholesale and retail stores.
The Costa Rican government has CO.
operated with the fruit company,
has put in many public improvements
and keeps the city clean. The govern
ment receives direct, as well as an
indirect, revenue from the fruit com.
pany through an export tax of 1 cent
gold upon each bunch of bananas sent
out of Costa Rica.
The big banana growing districts
practically end in the foothills of the
mountain range which divides Costa
RIGA, and where bananas stop coffee
begins. The hills and mountains for
more than so miles along the railroad
from Port Limon to San Jose are Gov
cred with coffee plantations, many of
them thousands of acres in extent
These are practically all owned by the
Costa Ricans, many of them wealthy.
Costa Rican coffee is considered by
many to be the finest In the world.
England takes the entire product each
year and pays a higher price for it
than the United States pays for Bra
lillian coffee. Costa Rican coffee is
strong and black as served here in San
Jose, and to the writer 1t seems far
ed in American homes and hotels. 1t
is better without milk.
1t cannot be doubted that If Amer
leans were more familiar with the at
fractions of Costa RIGA more would
visit the country. The climate Of San
Jose is considered ideal. The city is
5000 feet above the sea and the cool
air of this altitude is a relief after
the heat and sultriness of the Carib-
bean ports Today the air is as clear.
cool and bracing as a September day

OF which have been lost In the clouds
since theearrival of the Knox party.
Scenery Is Beautiful.
The trip from San Jose to Port Linn
on is the more attractive because of
the beauty of the scenery after the
first hour of the ride. The railroad
follows the line of a torrential noun
tain river from Port Limon to Car
tago, IA miles below San Jose. Though
there are many railroads in the United
States through mountains Of greater
altitude than those of Costa RIGA,
none of them have the tropical vegeta-
ton which distinguishes this country.
Mountains which in the states would
be bare, bleak and desolate are here
covered to their very peaks with the
luxuriant growth that Is found at
Port Limon. The mountains are al
ways green the year around.
Dry goods and great number OF
household articles are bought from
Europe. It is frequently declared by
Americans in Costa RIGA that If firms
in the United States would study the
Costa Rican market as carefully as the
European merchants do and make the
same efforts to please their customers
they would have no difficulty in gain
ing greater proportion of the trade
of Costa Rica The same applies to
the trade situation in all Central
American countries, according to opin-
ions expressed here.
For example, tons of concrete Is be-
ing used in Costa RIGA in all sorts OF
construction. 1t is said that American
firms would get all this business If
they would pack the cement in iron
cans ra-ler than in barrels, the metal
containers being necessary because of
the dampness on the coast, which
spells about half of each barrel of ce-
ment that Is not used as soon as re-
ceived Another criticism Of Amer
leans in Central America Is that they
are too anxious to get rich in one
day
| AS it is, the United States receives
more than half Of the total exports
of Costa RIGA and sells Costa RIGA
nearly half Of her total imports. The
general view Is that the sales of Amer
lean made goods in Costa RIGA will
continue to increase. 1t Is stated by
Americans here that as the opportuni
ties afforded in Costa Rica for agri.

| become better known In the states
more American capital will enter the
country. The opening of the Panama
canal will also help toward this end.

The bananas and coffee sent out of
entire export trade Of this country.
The value of the banana expectations
average about 100000 a year, and
the coffee a little more than half as
much. The fruit company either grows
or buys and transports and sells all
the bananas and carries all the coffee
produced in Costa RIGA. In doing
these things it has developed a great
number of side lines Of activity, which
make it the great power it Is in Costa
RIGA. These other activities include
railroads, stores, telegraph and tele-
phone systems, light and power plants,
hospital, schools and various forms Of
agriculture and stock raising. In adj
dition it has its feet of ships, car
rying both passengers and freight
Bananas Cost 30 Cents a Bunch.
The company owns over 100000
acres of banana lands on the Atlantic
seaboard of Costa Rica. On these
lands it produces about AZ per cent. Of
all the bananas grown in the repub-
lie. 1t buys all the bananas that ma
tive growers can produce. The an
nuaI shipment is about 10000, 900
punches, bought by the fruit company
at a fixed price of 80 cents a bunch.
For handling the bananas the company
allows 10 cents a bunch, and the de-
clared export value of bunch Of ba-
nanas is fixed at 40 cents.
The outlet for both the coffee and
the bananas is Port Limon, on the
Caribbean. When Secretary Knox
and his party arrived there recently
there were three steamers in port
awaiting cargoes of bananas.
To tap the banana districts the main
line of the railroad, leased and oper-
ated by the United Fruit company I'M
