stale, they dispose of it,-all SEN
timental thoughts are banished as if
by magic. They realize that they
are right at the same little round

floor seems bit unsteady, it seems
to slowly lift upward, then gently
settle back, as the deck of an ocean

few hours sleep and stupor, they

Machina wharf, where tender is
waiting to convey the passengers to
the steamer lying in the harbor.
The steamer sounds her siren and
moves slowly out toward the sea,
passing almost in the shadow of the
great walls of Moro Castle. Stand
ing at the deck rail one sees the
city stretching in wide curve
around her harbor, and as the
steamer moves further out to sea.

ing swift as swallows over the waves,
and porpois diving and coming up
on the opposite side of the boat.

HAVANA
H. H.

When in the brief narrative of a
city and its people, the result must
be in impression, not a description.
This is fortunate for me in the case
OF Havana, as there are many cities
that cannot be described and Hav-
ana is one Of them.
Of all the spots on this earth where
the jaded globe traveller may sit in
peace, and watch the world go by,
there is none more fascinating; none
presenting more brilliant pano-
rama of life than the famous Prado
of Havana. Here in the open Cafe
San Carlos, with it's white and blue
facade and it's numerous little round
topped tables, one may sit for hours
at the triffiing outlay of few cents,
without even being disturbed by the
tip-seeklng waiter, and, if one hap
pens to make study of human nat
ure, find great enjoyment in observ
ing world types, representing nearly
every race and nationality, that pass
up and down in a steady reverend
ing stream.
Havana, Dream City of the trop-
les! Glorious, radiant Havana-the
Mecca of pleasure-seeking latin
America. Havana immoral, allur-
ing, caressing! City of political
plots and counter plots; crimes and
horrors unspeakable have stained
her history; revolution and civil
strife have marred her streets and
monuments. Yet she shows no sign
of the storm and stress; she offers
herself in perfect peace to the rising
sun, and when fall the shadows of
night, and countless electric bulbs
flash along her boulevards, her beau
ty is thing never to be forgotten.
Those OF our countrymen who can
afford to make the trip usually
manage to see enough of Havana to
become impressed with her charms,
and they regret the time when
they shall have to make their de-
parture. They are never disap-
pointed. Most Americans like Hav-
ana-some like it so well they have
made it their permanent home
although it must be added that in
their admiration they rarely include
the Cuban. As a matter of fact we
are a nation not any too fond of any
foreigner, largely because we do not
understand him, while the foreigner,
especially the Cuban, for his part is
quite willing to return the compli-
ment. Besides the Cuban will never
forget Magoon, the governor the
United States sent to Cuba during
the last intervention. There were
several millions of dollars in her nat
ional treasury when that excellent
president and patriot Estrada Palma
was forced out of the presidential
chair, but Gov. Magoon had hardly
stepped into Office when he pro-
ceeded to plung this little nation
head-long in debt, the burden ol
which will rest on her shoulders fol-
several generations. All Cubans
hate Magoon, they call him a CRATER
and other names equally uncompli.
mentary which are not fit to print
MagOon was an American. Is there
any wonder at their having a partic
ular dislike for americans? Ye
educated Cubans, for the most part
are too liberal minded to Judge tht
universal by the particular; they also
must bear in mind, that to-day they
have a President, Jose Miguel Go
mez, who is probably one of tht
greatest political grafters natior

busiest shopping streets in the world,
Ladies from the beautiful Vedado,
Havana's aristocratic neighborhood,
wearing Partisan gowns of the lat
est fashion. come in expensive
French motor cars to make purch-
ases. Well grcomed men in immac-
ulate white linen suits with mus
taches perfectly curled or slanted
upward a la Kiser Wilhelm are seen
passing along this street, presumably
on business but never in hurry.
In the small exclusive shops of
Calle Obispo, not unlike those of
Paris, are fabrics FIR m the best
looms of England, France and Spain.
There are no department stores.
Each shop is devoted to a particular
line. In hat store only hats are
sold. but the line is complete, one
may buy any hat from a Christy or
Knox to a (jipijapa) Panama hat
costing a fortune. Indeed, Panama
hats costing $4,000 American mon
ey are common among well-to- do
Cubans and Spaniards. and now and
then a beaux Brummel will be seen
wearing small fortune on his head.
This Panama, the straws of which
are fine as silk threads may cost
$5, 100000 or more, and it will weigh
but little more than a pocket hand
kerchief and may be folded and
placed in the pocket with as little
inconvenience when entering cafe,
as the owner does not take chances
on some otherguest exchanging hats
with him. A Panama is a sort of
passport in the tropics,-a man is

he wears. II he wears a good one

standing.
/ The merchants here, with two or
three exceptions, are Spaniards; one
possible exception is the manager of
the branch of the Paris jewelry
house Of Campignon, who is prob
ably Jewish, Americans will won
der at the absence of Jewish mer-
chants. The Jew, smart business
man that he is, seems unable to
conduct successfully either retail
or wholesale business in Spanish
countries. His failure to succeed,
! believe, is attributable to the fact
that the Spanish merchant is more
diplomatic, has the gift of making
friends, gives his attention to social
duties rather than close prices and
soon he finds himself fixed and sub
stantial. with business house strong
as a bank.
The Spaniard is not the treacher-
GUS, remorseless sort of person many
Americans believe him to be. On
the contrary, he is kind-hearted and
unselfsh. a man of deep human
sympathy 1t is true the bull fight
is his national sport, and the cock
fight his chief form of diversion.
however. the principal attraction of
the cock-fight as with the horse
race is the betting; in either sport,
take away the betting and you take
away the interest-the very soul Of
the game. Better do away with the
sport entirely,
The Havaneros' are very tenn
perate as to alcoholic beverages;
intoxicated natives are never seen on
the street or elsewhere, although
liquors of all kinds are to be Mad in

There is no comparison in the
way the Havanero takes drink and
the way the American takes his. A
