years ago. when there were serious
complaints against the abuse of the
natives by Portuguese planters in Afri-
ca, this family refused to make use of
cocoa from the Portuguese colonies. In
France the name of a brand of choco-
late is identified with scientific re-
search and conspicuous services to the
state. The chocolate plantations of
this family are principally in Central
America.

but since their market in Germany was
shut off they have been content to let

hands.
Ecuador gets a tidy revenue from the
export tax on cocoa. When provision
was made for the sanitation of the un-
healthy port of Guayaduil. an extra ex-
mort tax was laid by the municipality in
order to provide the means for the port
improvements. Guayaquil Is one of the
wealthiest cities of its size in the world
and many of the fortunes made by its
merchants came from cocoa
The principal source of production in
Brazil is in the north, with the state of
Bahia as the seat of the industry Ba-
hia is large state, and the cocoa or
chards. or plantations, are spread
throughout 1t. The cocoa trade Is the
principal feature Of the trade of the
city of Bahia, although there is a good
deal other commerce. The state of Ba =
hia lays an export tax on the cocoa.
Venezuela looks on cocoa as next to
coffee as source of agricultural
wealth. It's productive area could be
extended. but not much enterprise has
been shown. The Venezuelan cocoa
producers are content with the excel
lent returns they get from their in
vestment. Much Of the trade is in the
hands of Germans.

BRINGO'S MATE.

"Bringo," said Daddy, twas big
Ion who lived in the forests. There
were other lions around-llons with
different length names and of slightly
different color.
"Bringo was very bright In color
n hsndsome shade of yellow and his
mane was very beautiful and long.
Far away In the field he saw that
there was game for him. But he did
not want to get into the open. There
he knew he should find not only game,
but trnps-traps and possibly a gun
would sound and he would stay in the
field until picked up--a lifeless lion
with no game.
$50 Bringo learned to be wise and
not to take foolish chances. or all
the lions he was the greatest, and his
fame was known for miles and miles
around.
1.-The only thing that Bringo minded
was a storm and then he would rohr,
while all the other lions would roar
too.
"Of course all lions hate a storm
and they are strangely frightened by
1t. They roar to each other and beg
each other to rush to safety.
"Now Bringo was feeling very hap
by one day later. He had had a great
