THE BUTTERFLY.
l saw little four-year-old
Out in the gross at play;
He watched little patch of sun
That came and danced away.
And suddenly his eyes lit up,
He gave a little cry
And clapped his hands in wild de-
light
He saw a butterfly.
He followed 1t and tried to catch
The wonder in his hands;
1t fitted on ahead of him
Across the clover-lands.
Again and yet again he tried,
1t always flew away,
And left him lonely when the sun
Had vanished from the day.
And through the night the little
lad
Would clutch his hands and cry
Out from his dreams, "oh. come
to me,
Bright little butterfly"
And this is life with you and me,
Children we are who run
To chase some wonder-spangled
thing
That glistens in the sun.
And when night comes our empty
hands
Clutch at glad dreams that
creep
Up through the silence and the
dark
To shine across our sleep.

are 10 miles of railways on this banana
plantation, and they run through the
farms like the veins of ones body, reach
ing all parts. The roads are about three
feet wide. With a glass you can see the
steel tracks shining out of the green.
On some of the roads are cars loaded
with green punches and on the trunk
line which crosses the estate are piles
of bananas corded up for the trains.
Now take a look at that train which is
approaching the hill. See, it has stopped
and is taking on fruit. The gang of
Jamaica negroes is transferring the piles
to the cars. They handle the fruit very
carefully. The cars have been lined with
leaves to prevent bruising the bananas
bunch is lifted up into the air and passed
from hand to hand to the men on the
train. There is no throwing or dropping
the punches. Each is raised as tenderly
as though it were a baby and is laid
softly down on the car. The punches
are packed just so and the men know
just how many will fit into car and
how many carloads 1t will take for the
steamer which is to carry them to the
United States. I am told that 100 car
loads will be- shipped off today. The
trains will carry them down to the port
and the bananas will go from the cars
on endless belts of canvas right into the
steamers. They are put in cold storage,
and remain there until they begin to fly
out on similar carriers into the cold
storage cars at New Orleans or New
York. These bananas will go to New
Orleans or to Mobile, from where they
will fly to the chief cities of the Mis-
sissippi valley and the lands farther
west. The United Fruit Company aims
to supply our whole country. 1t has it
divided into sections and there is port
for each section. l am told that the
bananas from Port Limon, Costa Rica,
which lies sixty miles away up the coast
all go to New York and Boston, and that
those of Jamaica are shipped largely to
Europe.
The European business Is extending
and efforts are being made to educate
the people there to eating bananas. This
has been done in the United States. For
some time fruit has been sent to Europe
at loss, but the business is now begin
ming to pay, and it will eventually be of
great value.

X
One of the most outstanding of the
peerage Jobs of the present liberal gov
eminent was the elevation of Sir Weet-
man Pearson into the peerage. Lord
Cowdray, as he Is now called, is in the
way Of becoming the John D. Rockefeller
OF England. The head of a great engi-
neering and contracting firm with rami-
fications all over the world. he has ac-
quired large oil fields in Mexico and is
now fighting the Standard Oil Company
for supremacy here. In passing into the
peerage he had to secure the OK" OF
the master of Elibank.
Now for the past five years it has been
repeatedly charged that Lloyd George,
and the master of Elibank, and, indeed,
the whole liberal cabinet. were well under
the control of small clique of immense
ly rich Englishmen of which Lord Cow
dray is the chief. Some time ago the
latter found soft berth in his business
for one OF Lloyd Georges sons, and the
incident Was hailed as significant And
now, when the master of Elibank retires
from his political job and becomes a peer
himself, he is offered and accepts a fat
partnership with the very man whose
peerage he engineered, and who is looked
upon In some quarters as the evil genius
of the liberal party.
A new man, Percy Fl. lllingworth, Nj.
p, has stepped into the shoes of the
master OF Elibank. AS the chief min
isterial whip he did wear a gorgeous uni
form, draw a salary of $4,000 year,

ketS
Many people think there is but little labor
in raising bananas. There was never
greater mistake. When these thousands of
acres were taken up, they were. covered
with a jungle as dense as that on the
slopes of the Hmalaya mountains. The
ground was covered with mighty trees,
some of which were 80 feet high These
trees We're bound together with vines and
lianas, which were matted together and
formed network of woven vegetation.
There We're palms of score of varieties.
and the mass of green was SO dense that
you could only cut your way through with
a knife and an ak. All of this jungle had
to be cut down and turned over. The big
trees. some of which were as large
around as a -four barrel and some had
even the diameter of a hogshead, were
left to rot where they fell

years. without rep1anting. and at the end
the yield was quite as great as at first.
Now. let us stop and watch them cut
ting fruit. This requires skill. The ba-
nanas must not fall on the ground, as
the slightest bruise will make them I'M
fit for shipping. The cutting is done by
negroes who are skilled in the business
They use long 1ances with sharp steel
blades, and cut half way through the
stem at one stroke. This makes the bunch
fall, and the cutter catches it as it gently
drops down. He now cuts off the rest Of
the stem, and the bunch is handed to

hills to the acre. They had to be kept
clean Of weeds and this Notwithstanding
that nature here is SO generous that IL
the land is left free for six months it
will all be jungle again.
And then some of the lands were
swampy and they had to be ditched. The
rainfall here is ten inches month, or
40 inches a year, and the banana tree
will not grow with its feet in the water.
In some other banana plantations the
land is so dry that irrigation is needed,
but here the rainfall is just right. In
planning the plantations. roads and rail-
roads were built. Farmhouses and homes
for the men were put up at every few
miles, and blacksmi- h shops, stores and
Offices were erected
Altogether it takes about 6.OO0 men to
work these plantations, and the commun-
ity has to be housed, cared for and ruled.

job of second whip and three or four as
sistants whose job it is to keep an eye
on the members of their respective par
ties, and see to it that they vote as re-

house he is watched by the chief whip or
by his assistants as vigilantly as detec-

that when a member is in the writing

startling entries have been made through
this portal. Members have scrambled in

but unfortunately, the members of his
parliamentary pack often are careless.
particularly when they are out of SYM

lot of liberals are at present, and some
times openly rebellious. Then it is that
the chief whip has, first to cajole. and,
later either to tempt or threaten. To be-

government is none too strong, the chief
whip sends notice (Which also is known
