A wonderful thing about age is the
glorious memories of childhood. The
distant view weaves shining halo
around the many hours of play. In
those old days we lived in beautiful
valley in the state of New York. When
about six years Of age, one fine day
my little brother and I, going down
the road, met little boy and his sis
ter. We at once decided to go on past
the sawmiil to the slope of the hill
beyond. Here we found clusters OF
violets which we picked, each hand
full. and then went to little grove of
small pine trees that overlooked the
millpond upon which several fiocks of
tame geese swan, enjoying life.
From here we could see the many hills
and far up the valley, and all so very
beautiful. We sat down and began
fighting our violets, calling them
ROSTERS. We fought them till the
las. two champions were held by the
out victorious Just then ] moved,
and the bark Of the stump against
which I leaned, gave way, and a
mouse ran out. [ grabbed him so
tightly that he died, and the little girl
picked it up and smoothing it's soft
fur, said, ooh, poor little mousie;
poor mousie," and also said, Lets
have a funeral" So I scooped out a
little grave, close to a small mound of
moss, and we wrapped him in a large
Eastwood leaf and buried him, put
ting up a fat stone at his head. Then
the little boy knelt and, putting up his
hands, said, 90, Lord, bless us all"
That was the most impressive prayer
l ever heard. We had just picked
flowers to take home, when the clear
tones of mothers voice calling started
US home in great glee. We only halt
ed to wade twice through a shallow
pool OF water on the way.

the truth. There is a sense in which
we may consistently sing Of all the
beautiful things which the mind OF
man has produced for US. To the re-
ligions of the world we are indebted
for descriptions Of the land Of the
hereafter containing all the maryels
and glories which fanciful imagina-
ton can attain to. Shall each one Of
us be denied the delightful pictures
which do not belong strictly with his
particular religious belief? To retain
the Unborn fancy Of the child is to re-
sist the chilling and saddening effects
Of the advancing years. To build up
impossible combinations out Of what
it learns is as natural for the child
as the act of breathing. Most Of us
want to hang on to Santa Claus,
Mother Goose and the fairies. And
may we continue to enjoy the splen
doris OF the New Jerusalem, though
we may not believe in the literal pave
ment of gold nor the river flowing
with milk and honey, or have any
clear conception of what may lie be-
yond the silent river
The pleasure Of living is so largely
in state Of mind that@it seems to me
those are greatly blessed who are
able to reach the peaks of the "delec
table mountains and clearly see the
celestial city, even though what they
think they see may be but as the fab
rio of a dream.

Cuba. which seems to me its greatest
curse. Every ten days $56O.OOO is Is
sued in lottery tickets. Thirty per
cent of this goes into the national
treasury, or s168,OO0, for revenue,

is the first premium OF 100000, one
of $4,000, one of $4,000, one of $4,000,

1853 of $100. Then there remains
S32 100, which is divided into small
amounts. Constantly on the street
men and boys are calling the tickets
for sale; they are the one thing one
is solicited to buy, and gambling in
them is universal. The poor will do

Mans imagination has. found its fin

Small Fields

It was very pleasant to get away
from the noisy concrete city into the
green fields Of the country. Along the
well paved road bloomed many lovely
flowers and often it was shaded by
avenues Of Iaurels or Of royal palms
The cultivated fields were in small
patches. Wherever the soil allows
tobacco is grown, as it is the most
profitable crop. It was often seen
growing in orchards, as it needs shade
and where there are no trees it is
crown under cloth protection. All
kinds Of tropical fruits are grown,
and sugar cane is the great crop. The
price of land ranges from very little
to $500 per acre, according to its fer
tility. The country village was a row
Of small board cottages on either side
the highway. The roofs were thatched
with palm leaves, and the earth was
the floor. The young children wore no
clothing, and their smooth bronze
bodies looked very healthy and com
Portable. The one bit Of English they
knew was cone cent and money, I"
which they ell clam0red for. One
handsome little fOur-year-old boy sang
a song for us very sweetly for some
pennies.

Four Hundred Springs

Nine miles south of the city is q
group of 400 springs of the Almen-
sares river. they are enclosed by a
heavy wall Of masonry 60 feet high
and $50 feet wide at the top.
The water is carried under the riv-
er in a masonry tunnel and thence
COWS by gravity through an under
ground concrete aqueduct six miles to
a reservoir, whence it is distributed
to the city and its suburbs. The daily
supply is 100000 gallons of pure
water. This is greatly in excess of
what is needed. and the waists flows
through an open aqueduct into the
AlmendaTes river whence 1t was
drawn. This splendid water system
was planned and constructed at cost
of $5.030,0OO by the distinguished Gu
ban engineer Albear, for whom it is
named. A statue of him ornaments

nothing more interesting to visit in
Cuba than these springs and the Won

SANTA FE BUILDING NEW
BRANCH LINES.

Large sums of money will be spent
by the Santa Fe, beginning this
summer on construction of new
branch lines in the southwest.
The Usage County & Santa Fe
railroad will be 65 miles long, from
Owen to Ralston, Oklahoma, via
Pawhuska, through the rich oil
fields. 1t will shorten distance from
Oklahoma City to Kansas City and
Chicago. Steel bridges have been
ordered. This line will be expensive
to build because of the broken ter
ritory traversed, but it taps a rich
country.
The Barton County& Santa Fe is
a thirty-fve-mile branch to reach
the heart of the wheat belt in Cen
trail Kansas. 1t will connect Holy
rood and Galicia. Running over a
level prairie it's costs will be low, as
railroads figure construction-abou
$4,000 mile or 00,00O-to
which must be added the cost of
equipment needed.
A third line is being surveyed
from Satanta, Kansas, rs miles west
to the state line. Right-of-way is
being secured.
The Minkler Southern, nearing
completion in southern California,
from Lindsay to Porterville, travers-
es the center of a rich orange dis
trict. The track cuts through
groves valued at $4,000 an acre, to
afford outlet for carload shipments
direct to the new Santa Fe fruit ter
minals in Chicago.
Work also is being pushed rapidly
on the new Santa Fe branches from
Shattuck to Spearman, and from
Lubbock to Seagraves, in northwest
ern Texas. The building of the new
mileage on proposed Santa Fe ex-
tension from Kansas City to st.
Louis is the next item that will be
taken care Of
Nearly twelve hundred miles of
heavy steel rails have been ordered
by the Santa Fe for use during 1917
and 1918. Other important i'm
provements are being made in the
thirteen states served by this COM
pany.
