SHOW JOHN D.. JR., AS BRAINS OF
COLORADO'S DISGRACE

Kansas City, Mo-, April 24.-That
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., was the
brains" of the Colorado mine strike
which resulted in the murder of men,
women and children, is shown by
kilograms and letters exchanged be-
tween him and officials of the Colo
RADIO Fuel & Iron Co., according to
Frank P. Walsh, chairman of the U.
S. commission on industrial relations.
These communications are of so
startling a nature that Rockefeller,
Jr., will be recalled to the stand when
the commission resumes it's public
hearings in Washington May 4.
The correspondence shows, ac-
cording to Walsh, that Rockefeller,
Jr., who testified he kept his hands
off the situation, was in reality the
directing mind, exercising a personal
influence which extended even to the
state house in Denver and presumed
to dictate letters which went out to
the president of the U. S. and to the
governors Of states over the sigma
ture of the governor of Colorado.
That he withheld from the Dept of
Labor in Washington information
asked for when Secretary Wilson
sought to avert the strike before it
was called.

CHAPTER XVIII.
SamueI's Welcome,

The shore at Twin Coves was a
somewhat lonely spot, owing to
stretches Of marshland and sweep Of
pine wood that reached almost to the
edge of the water.
Samuel however, having indicated
that he wished to be landed at the foot
of a path through the pines, found
himself on the home shore scarcely
ten minutes after he had left Bleak
Hill-Havens already speeding toward
his home some miles to the eastward,
the bay seemingly deserted except for
his sail, high wind blowing, and the
snow beginning to fall In scattered
flakes.
Samuel picked up his grip, trudged
through the heavy sand of the mar
row beach, and entered the sweet
smelling pine wood. He was stiff with
cold after the rough, swift voyage; his
feet alone were hot-burning hot with
chilblains Away down in his heart he
was uneasy lest some harm should
come to Abe and the old man be
caught In the approaching storm on
the beach. But, oh, wasn't he glad to
be home!
His house was still half mile
away; but he was once more on good,
solid, dry land.
"Ill tell Blossy haow that air Abe
Rose behaved" he treasured himself.
when he pictured his wifes aston
tmhnl norh oh ,,J
ing. IAN then she won't wonder that
l had ter quit him an come back
He recollected that Angy would be
there, and hoped fervently that she
might not prove so strenuous a charge
as Abraham. Moreover, he hoped that
she would not SO absorb Blossy's at
tention as to preclude wifely minis
tering to his aching feet and the appli-
cation OF "St. Jerlshy lie" to his lame
and sore back.
The torture OF the feet and back
made walking harder, too, than he had
believed possible with the prospect of
relief go near. AS he limped along he
was forced to pause every now and
again and set down the carpetbag,
sometimes to rub his back. sometimes
to seat himself on g. stump and nurse
for q few moments one of those de-
mon-possessed feet. Could he have
made any progress at ell If he had
not known that at home, no matter II
there was company. there would at
least be no Abe Rose to keep him go
ing, to spur him on to unwelcome

nered, kills policeman and is himself
killed. Enough of adventure, excite
ment and tragedy to last a lifetime
crowded into a few hours, with MUIR
der at the end But what for? The
chances of the man getting away were
so remote that only fool would have
undertaken the job. The next day it
is in Kansas City. Two men rob a
shopkeeper of diamonds and money
and try to escape by running through
crowded streets, silly and futile
thing to undertake. The end of their
folly will be years and years of hard
work, hard living, lonesomeness and
heartbreaking monotony in prison.
The man who undertakes to live by
his wits, to get money without work
ing for it, is foreordained to failure.
And yet there are always men start
ing on that road. In general they are
men who failed in youth to learn the
lesson of industry. They got the idea
that the end of life was to get on with
as little effort as possible. The boys
who are spared all work by indulgent
parents, who expect everything to be
done for them and to do nothing for
anybody else, are on the wrong road.

in the architecture new note; but in
the older structures, with which Ha-
vana is principally furnished, the old
Spanish architecture, with something
added, a something that is found in
the greater part of Spanish-America,
the true characteristic of the capital
is found The narrow streets, with
their still narrower sidewalks, are
lined with stores or residences of two
stories. The first floor of the resi-
dences especially is arcaded in front,
and over this extends balcony on
the second floor. 1t is all typical of
the tropics, the streets being too mar
row to permit of awnings, and these
permanent shelters from the suns
rays and from the heavy rains in the
summer, or rainy season, proving
probably more effective and conven-
lent.
The impression that the visitor re-
ceives at once, and the one that he
takes away with him, is that Havana
is a beautiful foreign city There Is
-
dolence in the place, but for all that it
is now a very busy commercial port,
but the population is not so large as
to crowd the town. and the busy
scenes are chiefly witnessed at the
docks, where ships are being loaded
or unloaded, or at terminals of the
railroads. 1t is an admirable place
to take a rest or to go sightseeing.
An Evening in Havana.
If you desire 20 see the inhabitants
of Havana enjoying themselves. you
must see them in the evening. Ihen
the Central park will be filed with
strollers. or with thousands seated on
little chairs which they rent for nVe
cents Spanish silver, listening to the
concert by either the Municipal band
or the Artillery band, both noted or
ganizations in Cuba; and much the
same kind o. brilliant scene is pre-

S war visit to Havana, Cuba,
- was something of an adven-
ture, and not altogether a safe
one because of the prevalence
OF yellow fever. But the American
sanitary engineers who followed the
army of occupation cleaned UP the
city and the island, and Havana is
now one of the most healthful places
In America. In recent years, too, the
transportation facilities for reaching
the West Indies have been so revolu-
tionized that the trip no longer re-
quires unusual endurance or courage,
being made easily and speedily in lux
ury.
Though Havana has been to a great
extent Americanized, it has not lost
les individual charm. In all the nu-
merous changes that have taken place
in the last dozen years no attempt
has been made to obliterate those
characteristics which were both pic
turesque and innocent. It is true
that if the tourist desires to ride in
volante, the native carriage, he has
to make a request, otherwise he is
more than likely to take a motor
car. AS, generally speaking, the
roads around Havana are good, these
little motor tours are very agreeable.
In this connection it is useful to know
that one may bring into the island his
own motorcar without paying duty by
giving the necessary bond that it is
not for sale or for rent Facilities
for storing and running the car are
entirely modern.
Still a Foreign City.
Havana is still a foreign CITY, so far
as the eye discerns; and it may also
be said that it is foreign so far as
language is concerned However, the
English-speaking tourist finds no diff
Guilty in making himself understood
or in having his ideas as expressed

everywhere.

and similar enterprises, there is seen

Recovered NapoIeon's Loot"

Perugia, who stole the Mona Lisa, is
not the first who for patriotic reasons
has despoiled the Louvre--ths great
picture gallery of Paris. which &C
quired the majority of its treasures
by patriotic" plundering. In 1915,
after the fall of Napoleon, the allied
powers Of Europe gave orders that the
art treasures carried of by the con-
queror should be restored TO their
original owners. Fifteen states sent
commissioners to Paris to claim their
property, and more than 1000 pictures
were taken from the Louvre, together
with almost innumerable statues, or
naments, knickknacks, and so forth.
The gallery was left with only 270 pic
lures and had to be closed for while
until the vacant spaces could be filled
by gift or purchase.

MADE UP OF SMALL THINGS
Even the Most insignificant Words
and Acts May Be Productive Of
Joy or the Reverse.

A wild birds song is little. thing
lost in the deeps of frowning sky
And yet as 1t falls on q listening
ear and leaves it's message of melody,
earth's green seems brighter and life
Is sweeter, all through an autumn day.
The coo Of babe is little thing
meaningless sound from a vacant
mind
But it's the only sound that all ma
tions heed; the one clear language all
races know.
A mothers love is little thing-too
soon, alas, forgot.
But it typifies to blind humankind
that bear with patience calm and
sweet the wilful wrongs in these lives
of ours.
A passing smile Is little thing
lost in world of toll and care.
And yet the soul with gloom op-
pressed and the life grown wearied
with burdens hard will happier be in
the after-glow of smile that is
warmly kind
A kindly word is little thing-a
breath that goes and sound that
dies
But the heart that gives and the
heart that hears may know that 1t
sings and sings and sings till at last
1t blends with the wild birds song,
and the COO of babes in what men call

Abe had led him that chase over
at the station. Samuel was convinced,
"a-purpose" to punish him for having
30 soundly berated him when he lay
abed. That was all the thanks you
ever got for doing things for some
folks"
Samuel hobbled onward, his brow
knit with angry resentment Did ever
half-mile seem 80 long, and had he
actually been only twenty-three hours
from home and Blossy? Oh, oh! his
back and his feet! Oh, the weight of
that bag! How much he needed sleep!
How good it would be to have Blossy
tuck him under the covers, and give
him a hot lemonade with a stick of
ginger in it,
If only he had hold Of Abe Rose now
to tell him his opinion of him! Well,
he reflected, you have to summer and
winter with a person before you can
know them. This one December day
and night with Abe had been equal to
the revelations Of dozen seasons.
The next time Samuel tried to do good
to anybody more than sixty-fve, he'd
know it. The next time he was per
suaded into leaving his wife for over
night, he'd know that, too. Various
manuals for the young husband, which
he had consulted, to the contrary not
withstanding, the place for a married
man was at home.
Samuel sat down on q fallen tree
which marked the halfway point be-
tween his place and the bay. The last
half Of the journey would seem short
er, and, at the end, there would be
Blossy smiling a welcome, for he
never doubted but that Blossy would
be glad to see him. She thought
good deal of him, nor had she been
especially anxious for that week, of
separation.
His face smoothed its troubled
frowns into look of shining anticipa-
tion-the look that SamuePs face had

huskily:

Forgetting all his aches, his palms.
his resentments, Samuel took a pep
permint lozenge out Of his pocket,
rolled it under his tongue, and walked
on. Presently, as he saw the light of
the clearing through the trees, he
broke into run-an old mans trot-
thus proving conclusively that his
worry of lumbago and chilblains had
been merely wrongly diagnosed case
Of inconsistencies.
He grinned as he pictured Abe's dis
may on returning to the station to
find him gone. Still, he reflected,
maybe Abe would have a better time
alone with the young fellows; he had
grown so plagued young himself all of
a sudden. Samuel surely need not
worry about him.
More and more good-natured grew
Samuels face, until a sociable rabbit,
peeping at him from behind a bush,
decided to run a race with the old
gentleman, and hoped fearlessly out

Havana is city of plazas, prom.
enades, colonnaded buildings, churches
and palaces. 1t is all very European
and yet there is just touch that
makes the American feel that while
he is in strange country he is at
home and among friends. Sugar is
the islands greatest commodity. The
cane once planted continues for near
ly score of years to give three good
crops of cane each year. 1t is now
possible for the tourist to visit the
sugar country from Havana, and the
railway also will take him into the
heart of the Vuelta Abajo country
in Pinar del Rio province, where the
finest cigar tobacco in the world, the
kind that goes into the real Habana,
is grown.
All of Cuba is enhancing in the ro-
mantle and entirely foreign landscape
it presents wherever one goes. The
trips from Havana are almost illimit-
able. The island has several good
gailroad systems, and almost every
part of it that is likely to prove inter-
esting to tourist is tapped by one
or another of the transportation COM
panies.

A peculiar accompaniment of the
war is the reduction in the incomes Of
noted English physicians and sur.
geons. Consultants who formerly
made $4,000 a year or so. find them
selves earning little or nothing. As a
consequence they are volunteering
their services to the government in
such numbers that the authorities Ste

The reason for this loss of practice
