to get n spring fixed to the gate so that
It would close automatically. Good
advice, hut It merely made me wild.
When my little daughter got nnpen-

Two Isle* of Pines.
Thera are two Islands called tha
“late of Pines." One Is a French
prison colony southeast of New Cale-
donia and the other is a famous Vaca-
tion resort south of Cuba.
The lutter Island belongs to Cdba.
and Is tho source of many grapefruits.
The snmll isle was shunned for some
time after Its discovery by Columbus
because It becume Infested with Carib-
bean pirates, latter, under Spunlsh
rule In Cuba, It led a sleepy, Isolated
existence and was used for Spanish
convict settlements. Most of the pris-
oners sent there were persons who
had plotted the overthrow of Spanish
rule in Cuba. During American con-
trol, after the Spanlsh-Amerlcan war,
citrous orchards were developed there.
The Island Is very fertile and bus a
wonderful climate.—Cleveland Plain
