This condition to the minds of Americans is perhaps an enjoyable contrast to that which took place In San Francisco shortly after the Golden Gate city was desolated by the quake of a few years ago. The Pacific coast metropolis awoke the morning following the earthquake and literally went to work then and there to place a new city on the site of were paid wages the one destroyed. Workmen which drew laborers, mechanics, engineers from every section of the world to take advantage of the y the tourist high price put upon services. would scarcely know there had been a disturbance of seismic conditions. But in Kingston some of the fesldents made homeless by the earthquake are still Inhabiting tents, others have departed, while still others have moved away from the stricken city. Little has been done. And what Is the reason? tourists ask. Is it the traditional tired feeling, attributed to southern peoples, Is it lack of activity on the part of the government or lack of facilities? Those are the questions which experts In building and organizing are trying to solve today, many months after this condition was brought about One reason is that the English Insurance have evaded payment of losses companies In followed earththe which the fire The cases are In the courts for quake. adjustment, but the progress Is slow. In many cases where the property was destroyed the owners are unable to rebuild without assistance and that Is hard to obtain while the Insurance cases are Others are disheartened and would rathpending er sell their land than to rebuild and improve it. The scene is almost as desolate as It was the wdek following the earthquake. In some sections, notably on Harbor and Orange streets, the rubbish frame has been cleared away and small buildings have been erected In which stores and business places were quickly opened; at another point the government is clearing an entire city Bquare for the erection of new federal buildings. Aside from these minor matters the city has made little progress toward rebuilding, and business is generally carried on In temporary structures or In old buildings which were unaffected by the earthquake and which likewise escaped the flames. And yet, Kingston still shows much evidence of Its former beauty. The stately palm trees are to be seen along many highways and In private grounds; the cocoanut palm flourishes In almost every door yard; the rank growth of tropical foliage Is quickly covering much of the unsightly ruins and giving an air of Ufe in which the hand of man does not Before the earthquake the city had many magnificent churches, representing most of the prominent denominations. Every one of them was either destroyed or put out of commission, and services have not been held In a single church of the city since the eaithquake. All public worship is either near the parent conducted In small buildings churches or In the streets. The street meetings predominate, and many of these are fervid almost The boirors of the to the point of fanaticism. earthquake, which resulted In several hundred deaths, made such an Impression upon the minds of the native Jamaicans as to leave many of them To-da- WE WANT YOUR BUSINESS. ample t s WZdTXND CFKWGWTarr HARBOR D.

It is said that the stone for the macadamized highway which runs entirely across the Island of Jamaica from Kingston to Port Ontario was all crushed by native 1 women. One thing can be said that cannot be claimed for the states, GORDON HAIM however, they receive equal wages with the met. for Bimllar work. But to drop the distressing features of life In Kingston for the more delightful ones of the rest of the Island of Jamaica, which is truly a tropical gem of the first water. Vegetation! Its luxuriance can hardly be conceived of by a northerner without a personal visit. Its productiveness Is almost beyond conception; fruits grow In rare abundance with only the slightest effort on the part of the ranchmen or native farmers. A trip across the Island either by rail or automobile Is a revelation of beauty on every hand. At every turn new beauties and new delights are thrust upon you; the fertility of the soil both on the hills and lowlands Is almost beyond belief; vegetable growth, rank but perfect, at every point. So far as one can see, the term bare land does not apply In Jamaica; vegetation, either wild or under cultivation, a mass of greenery and bloom. Here a hedge, a grove, a hillside, covered with cocoanut trees in full fruitage; the there, long rows of banana trees, with great green bunches hanging from the thrifty stalks. Sometimes they were In scattered patches and at others they were cultivated with skill and precision, and coveilng wide ranges of land as far as the eye could reach, while here and there were orange groves or isolated trees, all laden with the The little English railroad rich, yellow fruit. which crosses the island from north to south winds for some distance from Port Arthur along the southern coast. Then It turns abruptly to the interior, plowing Us way over the hills, through tunnels, across ravines and down Inclines. But at every point, on the hillsides, by the seashore, in the valleys, even In the swamps, the prolific growth of all manner of vegetation Is everywhere present. Nature has apparently done so much for the little island that the people have had no proper Incentive for effort or development Why live the strenuous life when It Is so much easier to exist with little physical or mental labor? Why strive for a competence when the means of subsistence are at hand without such strife? Why lay up something for a rainy day" when It is the actual rainy days which come so frequently and refreshing like to this island that absolve one from the absolute necessity for such saving? And such seems to be the thought of the natives of Jamaica. The English language Is almost the only one heard on the Island. The natives, even In the Interior, w ho seldom get down to the coast, use the English longue in a corrupted form, but easily understood. They are all proud of the fact that they are English, whether black, bronze, mahogany or white and you find all shades of color, the black predominating to a very large degree. In excess of 90 per cent, of the population of Jamaica Is black. While there appear to bo nu mlnerfais of value on the Island except, possibly, a little copper Jamaica Is certainly one of the richest of England s gteat family of Islands.

What wealth this means for the Island and to the mother country when. In the years to come, the land Is put under Intense cultivation and advantage Is taken of all that nature has done for Jamaica, time only can tell. The hillsides and the valleys of this little capable of producing crops under the best conditions that would support a large nation. Mineral wealth Is unnecessary here; the real wealth, which Is perpetual and Inexhaustible, is In the fertility of the soil and the climate conditions which have produced such fertility. There is no Ice, no snow, no frost, here. The rainy season Is less stvere and extends over a greater period of time than in any othpr portion of the world. Theie Is said to be rainfall In some part of the Island every month In the year, and tho condition of the crops at any season would prove the truth of this statement. It would be hard to find a place with more beautiful scenery or more appealing prospects. There are many charming driveways, both for the horse aud e aato-mobil- The feeling of depression that must come to one in the city of Kingston gives way to one of optimism as he gets out along the soacoast or Into the mountainous country, where everythin Is pleasing. It Is quiet and restful In Jamaica; people here do not do things In a hurry; the ell mate is not conducive to the hustle of a northern community. Even the turkey buzzards that abound everywhere, soar slowly away over the city Of the hills as if they had no thought of being late for dinner or that thi supply might give out before they reached the dining table. And the little brown boys who dive for pieces of money from the decks of steamers or the pier at Kingston go Into the water so leisurely and remain under so long that you begin to think they are going tc stay down; but they always come up with tho coin clasped in their fingers, and stow one piece after another Into their spacious mouths foi safekeeping until the aport is over. Value of a Smile. A pretty smile may make ones fortune. Few women realize the value of a smile. Most smiles are useless. The smile that counts is one that charms men, and that nfll secure favors here and service theie, and go twice as far as a tip or a command. This smile has radiance, is produced by the eyes hs well as by the lips, and, above all. Is never mechanical. Strand Magazine. $ |
