Mr. Post has made a good administrator and the island has prospered more since he landed there than it had prospered before in centuries. But even he did not fail to make some enemies, and the charges made against him were the result. In 1903 he was appointed auditor of Porto Rico, and later became secretary of the insular government until his appointment as governor last April.

Mr. Post belongs to a distinguished family that came to America prior to 1640 and several members of which distinguished themselves in the war On his mother’s side he is a grandson of Gen. Comte of the revolution. Regis de Trobriand, who served with distinction during-the civil war. He is a keen sportsman and a crack wing shot. He is an enthusiastic yachtsman and owns the cruising yacht Showandasee, on which he once entertained President Roosevelt on a cruise. He is a member of several New York clubs He is an aristocrat to his finger tips It may be this quality that made him obnoxious to the Porto Rican newspaper.

Born in 1854, of a leading family of the Samurai clan, at Akita, in the province of Iwate in northern Japan, he received his education at the Imperial college at Tokio and after graduation in 18 became a clerk in the foreign ministry, wh he remained three years. In 1879 he came first to this country as attache to the legation at Washington, later becoming secretary and then charge d'affaires He was recalled to Japan in 1883 and re. mained there as secretary of the foreign ministry until 1885, when he was made charge d'affaires at Seoul, Corea. Next he was sent to Shanghai in 1887, as consul general, In 1890 he was put at the head of the political bureau of the Japanese foreign ministry. In 1891 he came to New York as consul general. In 1892 he went to Holland as minister resident, being moved fromthere to Italy, where he figured in important negotiations during Japan's Going then to Vienna, as minister, he negotiated a treaty with | war on China Austria and Switzerland After a sojourn at Tokio as vice ministet of foreign affairs, he came to the United States as minister in 1900.

The girl with the red dress on is a cowgirl!” Again and again the taunting challenge was hurled at the red-frocked western maid, who finally, with one supreme effort at self-control, retorted: “Oh, very well, then, the girl who is a-hollerin’ is a sheep! I'd sooner be 8 cowgirl than a_ sheep, ‘cause the president is fond of cowboys and cowgirls, but not even a_ secretary likes a sheep!” He Knew How. “How,” asked the young man who had just bought the village paper and desired to win prominence as an editor, “can I get the public to become interested in my journal? I know the principal thingis to make a good pa per, but if nobody takes it how wil) anyone find out that it is good? Some thing must be done to attract attention—to cause the people to understand that we are on earth.’ “That'll be easy,” said the traveling printer, who had stopped over to assist in putting the patient on its feet. “Just print an item saying that a certain preacher in this town will get into trouble if he doesn’t cease paying attentions to a certain married member of his flock and cease quick. I'll bet the paper containing that item won't be off the press 40 minutes before there's a copy of it in every house in this town,”—Chicago RecordHerald. Fat Men and Jobs. Employment agents sayit’s about as hard to get work for a fat man as for a gray-haired one. According to their statements, employers of labor hold that a fat man is indolent. They assert that the hustler, the fast, nervous, energetic worker, is sinewy rather than fat, and does 30 per cent. more work than the soft, fat fellow. “It is not uncommonfor us to advise fat applicants to diet,” said an employment agent, “and reduce their weight before beginning to canvass for a job.” So far as recorded, Dr. Osler has expressed no opinion on the expediency of chloroforming men who are running to adipose tissue. All Were Prime Ministers. An eminent surgeon was once sent for by Cardinal Du Bois, prime minister of France, to perform a veryserious operation upon him. The cardinal said to him: “You must not expect to treat me in the same rough mapner as you treat your poor miserable wretches at your Hotel Dieu.” “My lord,” replied the surgeon, with great dignity, “every one of those miserable wretches, as your eminence is pleased to call them, is a prime minister in my eyes.”—Success Magazine, Happy Suggestion. A scientist comes forth with the statement that an antiseptic should be used after the fourth kiss. Nonsense! Why not stop at the fourth and begin over again? Worse and Worse. A convict in a German prison had been extremely refractory. One means and another had beentried, but nothing could break his spirit. One morning the governor said to the warder: “IT say, Huber, the scoundrel is behaving worse the n ever Put him on bread and water.” “But he is already doing two fast days, sir.” “Then give him a cookery book to read. We must break his spirit somehow.”—Illustrated Bits. Exist on Summer Earnings. There is a population in the Bowery of NewYork city that numbers in the high hundreds that lives in Bowery luxury without work all winter on the savings of summer earnings as “barkers” and other attaches of various places of amusement in the popular resorts. Many Bricks in Chimney. When the chimney on the old Tristram Goldthwaite house in Fort Hill, Me., was torn down recently 10,000 bricks were taken out, or enough to build four ordinary chimneys. This one was built 195 years ago. Water Streets from Tramcars. In Milan, Italy, they water the streets from the electric tramears. On these watering cars reservoirs have been adapted to the platforms, and these reservoirs are emptied as the car runs by means of perforated tubes placed fan-shape at the front and back of the car. They Like It. One of the mysteries of this world, and little short of a miracle, is why people will allow thamselves to be gulled so easily.
