tie regards our domination or (he Island
as being so far "a sequence of failures."
"The Island," he said to Phllmtelphta

Industries of the eountry are simply at a

the strength to work them and cannot ob

the period of distress Is the sugar crop,
which will be exceptionally line this year.
There !> some small consolation In that

reason Is this Nearly nil the plantations

land for money with will h to operate it.
When there was a market for his products
he could pay the Interest on his mortgage
and still have a profit. If he did not pay
the mortgage was foreelos<sl, and the
plantation again let out. Then when Gen
Henry cam* and suspended all fore
closures. every cap.tails! held lightly to
what money he had If he could not fore
close his mortgage he could not enforce
payment of Interests, and. consequently,
everything came to a standstill The lend

that each camp might have full oppor

The prospective purchaser began to |er

The clerk sighed. "If you only kn*w

"What I want to use it for?" echoed th
man with the red mustache * Why. I
want to saw, of course. At least, my folks

"I don't know." admitted the non-plus*-

The lerk brightened up again and led
the way to the r#*sr of th* stor- "I will

"Perhaps you would Ilk* a meat saw*"

The man wMh the red mustache looked

"You're quite a fan.” remarked a young
