Att and Santo Domingo share
jointly an island comprising
roughly about $4,000 square
miles, and having a total pop
ulation of nearly 100000
Haiti has nearly the population of
Santo Domingo, but only little more
than half its area.
For 100 years Haiti ard for half
that period Santo Domingo have been
a cause of continual anxiety to the
United States. Since gaining their
independence both have been in a
state OF constant upheaval and blood
shed as a result of practically I'M
broken succession of revolutions.
The story of Haiti is a story of mis-
cry. The characters are childish ne
groNs, who play at dignity, spill blood
and do no work. In natural advan-
tages, Haiti is land of fertile opu-
lence, but what is human there is de-
based and wretched.
A race of simple children pretend
there at being kings and emperors and
pr sidents. All to themselves, they
possess a part of wonderful island,
where once they were slaves. They
had the entire island at first, but their
quarreling gashed an ugly frontier
across, marking off Santo Domingo,
and now the sets of warning factions
are multiplied.
The fairy country of richly wooded
hills, where these children play at gov
ernment, is land of palms, land of
dreams and Incidence. The people of
the island own lazy Africa for moth.
er. They are the creatures of dalli-
ance, they are good-natured, and quick
to laugh, showing their white teeth
and the whites Of their eyes.
But they also have the thoughtless
cruelty of children. In spite Of their
natural slothfulness they rage under
their tropic sun with the energy of
bloodthirsty beasts, wrecking their
fowery paradise. They suspect the
white man, fearing return to slavery,
and they carry on constant political
feuds with each other. On all sides

Mexican Rainfall.

The low rainfall Of the extreme
north of Mexico of two to three inches
on the border of Arizona, and the eX-
cessive fall, reaching 156 inches, on
the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, with the
high rate for Monterey and the mod
crate fall for the capital, show how
remarkable are the hygrometric con-
ditions due to topography. The max,
imum rainfall is only exceeded in very
few regions of the globe.

over all the sixteen years of The Girls
life, and, as though it had happened
yesterday, the scene of the childs first
quarrel came with grave importance
to her memory.
The Girl had been to blame. She
had been intolerably rude to Little
Neighbor; beastly unfair, and when
her small guest had stood out against
her The Girl had burst into storm
of tears which so touched The Moth
er's sympathy that it quite ran away
with her judgment.
From that day on The Mother had
been nothing better than a screen be-
hind which The Girl might find pro-
lection.
From this far-away picture of the
first quarrel of The Girl The Mothers
thoughts came back to the group of
serious young faces in the ice cream
parlor where her schoolmates were
discussing ways and means of keeping
The Girl out of their sorority, assign
ing as their reason that she was rude
and unfair"
The words rang through The Moth
er's mind with the persistency of some
lifting tune from a musical comedy.
They seemed to dance away with the
scurrying leaves out on the broad
lawn, and then come back to scar
their way like burning brand into

Girl had shown no sense of justice,

heart, but each time the adoring pa
rent had believed that only she saw
the hideous faults of The Girl, and so
she had gone on from year to year
screening them from the public eye,
or at least thinking that she did, for
today it was quite obvious that she
had not wholly succeeded.
The Mother sat in her sewing room,
the work she had begun Immediately
after lunch lying untouched for hours
in her lap. She heard The Girl open
the front door; lay her books on the
library table, and come slowly down
the hall. When she opened the door
of the sunny little sewing room The
Mother had picked up the work in her
lap and was plying her needle indus
trioIsly.

went on with her work, ignoring the
