From 1624, when the Holland ers apparently found it without an owner, the island was a Dutch possession. Thrifty merehants settied there. and it requires no streteh of the Imagination to suappdse that thelr fmmunity from raids was dueé to the excellent facilities they afforded the pirates for disposing of [oot. The cities of the mafuland and of a dozen islands of the Caribbean were repeatedly ravaged and burned and the fnhabitants subjecfed to torture and massacre. But Curacao was unmolested, save for two ineffectual (»xpodi:imis for its capture organized by the Spanish during Enropean wars.. And the Curacao of to-day? Well, it hasn't changed greatly, save to accommodate itself to latter-day conditions. Rich cargoes still are unl'oudpd at its wharves, but they, are sent there in ‘'steamers by the merchants of Europe and America. Sober, peaceful Dutch Jews take the merchandise in hand, and a little later much of it is loaded into sloops and schooners which sall away for the mainland of Latin-America. Still later this same merchandise appears for sale on the counters of merchants in the cities of Colombia, Venezuela and Central America, at prices that preclude the supposition that it has passed through the custom houses and paid the heavy import duties that are imposed in those countries, In a word, Curacao has become the headquarters for the smusgglers of the Caribbean. Little is heard of this, for silegce best serves the purposes of most of those concerned. A hint at the truth {s met with the indignant denial of the shrewd folk of Willemstad. But the fact is well known to all who are familiar with trade in the Caribbean. . . _ _ Do you go to Caracas on ¥our rounds?” I in-

GAVE UP PRIZE APPLES

This Is a Story of Really Remarkable : Self-Sacrifice. This is a ttory of six prize apples, Samuel . Blythe, editor, writer and Tormerly president of the Gridiron club. and of Robert H. Davis, editor, sriter and good all-round fellow. It happened in Washington, when Davis culled upon Blythe in his office. There were six large, perfect and

The island is a favorite refuge for deposed presidents, doféted revolutionists and other refugees, They may always be found in the clean Httle cifes of the capital, concocting plots to regain lost power amd awaiting the “psvchological moment” for starting a new rising of the people against the “tyrants.” These “patriots” are always ready to talk volubly of their hopes and plans, and so Wil lemstad has become the great distributing point for sensational and unreliable news concerning our volatile sister republics. . Curacao really is the top of an almost sub: merged voleano, like many other islands of the West Indies, and lies almost within sight of the coast of Venezuela. For many months at a stretch not a drop of rain falls there, and the whole island looks like a big bare brown and gray rock. Then comes a wet week, and grass and shrubbery spring up as by magic and clothe hill and valley in a mantle of green. But it is only grass and shrubbery, for there is not a tree on the island more than ten feet in height. The ancient crater has become a large, beautiful lake of irregular outline, known as the Schottegat. This connects with the sea by the ‘'stream,” which flows through a break in the crater’s rim. The stream is Willemstad's harbor, butyghe larger steamers have to go into the Schottegat to turn around. On both sides of the stream is built the quaint city. which looks as if it had been brought bodily from the Zuyder Zee. Its two parts are joined by a long pontoon toll-bridge at one end of

luscious looking-apples standing In a row on the office window sill, their rosy cheeks polished till they gleamed like rubies. They tempted Davis, and he promptly ate one. Then he ate another while talking to Blythe. Thenhe put the third in his pocket for refreshment on the way home. About an hour later Blythe received a note from Davis by messenger, with !a request to please give the bearer

: Dresden. : In Dresden I began to realize that the charm of Leipsic lay in the quaint atmosphere of its old buildings, among which even trade had grown romantic, in the airiness of the many squares, in a village-like flavor of homely intimacy caught amid the modern prose of .a commercial city. Meissen had been something bevond experience, a dream of strange beauty. But in Dresden 1 found a beauty very real and tangible, directly arousing, without complicated equipments of antiguity, the instant repose of the pleasure-loving human heart, like a voluptuous melcdy on the ‘cello—Century Magazipe.
