This convinced the men, and they slunk
back to the forecastle, while Columbus, care
fully retacking the seaweed and putting the
bird back for future use went down below,
first giving instructions that when land was

cook overheard. This custom has been hand
ed down to the present day, but few sailors
know that it originated with Columbus It
has been matter of common history that
when Columbus landed he unearthed q band
of natives who were in hiding on Cat Island,
just inside the city limits, and the following
conversation ensued:

This story, however. is not authenticated,
and as Irving has left it out OF his history it
may be set do.d .s Mythical There is some
dispute as to whether Columbus landed at Cat
Island Tor San Salvador, or Sap Domingo.

There Is certain clothing salesman who

have Influenced many big sales. With an
underlying sense of cynicism and good deal
Of a wag in dry sort Of way, he may be
recognized when described as one Of those
humorous men who never smile. 1t was dur

the large interior cities of this state.
This particular merchant is rated one of
tho toughest cases in the trade to sell bill

his finest work, and nfter deal of haggling
over the prices, he found he had registered on
his memorandum book an order Of unexpected
