B EFORE the Spantsh-Amerlcan
war a 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
its 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
a 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 diffi
culty In making, himself understood
or in having his ideas as expressed
in his own choice Anglo-Saxon in
terpreted. English Is spoken almost
everywhere.
-In the recently erected public build
ings, such as banks, railroad stations
and similar enterprises, there is seen *
sented at Malecon, the capital’s famed
drive and promenade along the sea
wall. In the daytime the chairs which
one rents for a-small sum at night
are free. Theaters also are open In
the’ evening, and the ubiquRous mov
ing picture houses are also in opera
tion.
Havana is a -city of plazas, prom-
enades, colonnaded buildings, churches
and palaces. It Is all very European
and yet there is just a touch that
makes the American feel that while
he is in a strange country he is at
home and among-friends. Sugar is
the island’s greatest commodity. The
cane once planted continues for near
ly a score of years to give three good
crops of cane each year. It 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 I-Iabana,
is grown.
All of Cuba is entrancing in the ro
mantic and entirely foreign landscape
it presents wherever one goe - B. The
trips from Havana are almost illimit
able. The Island has several good
railroad systems, and almost every
part of it that is likely to prove inter
esting to a tourist is tapped by one
or another of the transportation com
panies.
START ON THE WRONG ROAD
One Way of Accounting for Foolish
Way in Which Some Men
Waste Their Lives.
We can only wonder at the silly way
in which some men waste their lives.
One day it is a man who enters a
bank, shooting this way and that,
.scoops the money into a bag while the
employees hide, • leaps Into , a stolen
motor car, enacts the robbery again in
another bank, and at last, when cor-
BEAUTU%)L CUBAN VALLEY
in the architecture a 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 a balcony on
the second floor. It is- all typical of
the tropics, the streets being too nar
row Jo permit of awnings, and these
permanent shelters from the sun’s
rays and from the heavy rains in the
summer, or rainy season, proving
probably more effective and conven
ient.
The impression that the visitor re
ceives at once, and the one that he
takes away with him, iB that Havana
is a beautiful foreign city. There is
an air of comfort and of luxurious in
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 Bhips are being loaded
or unloaded, or at terminals of the
railroads. . It is an admirable place
to take a reBt or to go sightseeing.
An Evening In Havana.
If you desire to see the inhabitants
of Havana enjoying themselves you
must see them in the evening. Then
the Central park will be filled with
strollers, or with thousands seated on
little chairs which they rent for five
cents Spanish silver, listening to the
nered, kills a policeman and is himself
killed. Enough of adventure, exette-
-ment and. tragedy to last a lifetime
crowded into a few hours, with mur
der at the end. But what for? The
chances of the map getting’away were
so remote that only a 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, a 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.

A peculiar accompaniment of the
war is the reduction in the incomes of
noted English - physicians and sur
geons. Consultants who formerly
made $60,000 a' year or so, find them

consequence they are volunteering
their services to the government in
such numbers that the authorities are
barely able to cope with the supply.

To which the officer is said to have
replied; “I beg your pardon, Mr. Sec
