After signaling Moro Castle, we were per-
mitted 10 enter the beautiful land-loeked bar
Dor Of Havana. As soon as we had dropped
anchor we were besieged by swarms OF bum
boats, manned by swaTthy natives who tried TO
dispose Of their various wares-cigars, curios,
bananas, oranges. etc.

Billy, forgetting all about Texas, proposed

The Germans were az first somewhat discon-

Horse sense.

As regards color, gray horses live longest

There are some points which are valuable in
horses of every description. The head should
be proportionately large and well set on the
lower iawbones should be sufficiently far apart
TO enable the head TO form au angle with the

While lazily riding at anchor in tho Calf
