Half doxcn cows, writes Robert
Luce, were part of the furniture |
found in handsome bakeshop at Ne
Vile. We entered it to set some
cakes, and were puzzled at the bovine
odor until we noticed an alcove barred
off by fence, behind which were six
fine looking cows with several calves.
On the shop side of the fence were
tables at which sat Spanish men and
women slipping and smoking.
Taking seats where we could watch
the cattle, we called for ''Leche."
Thereupon a man picked up quart
measure, went to one of the cows,
milked the measure full and then
strained the milk into two glasses,
giving us full pint each of foam
covered, warm, rich milk. For this
he charged us what in our money
would be six cents a glass. While we
were slipping it, occasionally COW
would moo in remonstrance against
being MIXED at 10 o'clock in the
evening. but for the most part they
seemed to take the repeated visits of
the milkman as matter OF course. -

Mr.. Frederick A. Qber contributed
to the Century an article on ''The Is
land of Porto Rico" After telling of
the founding of the city of San Juan
by Ponce de Leon, Mr.. Ober says:
San Juan, the city founded in 1911
on the north coast, soon became a
place of Importance, and not long after
settling here Juan of the Lion Ii cart
built himself castle on the promon-
tory above the harbor's mouth, and
there he planned the voyage through
the Bahamas which resulted i'll the
discovery of Florida in 1913. But
his search for the tabled Fountain of
Youth was not so fortunate; and so in
1921, being stirred by the news from
Cortez in Mexico, he set forth again,
again, this time to be wounded by an
Indian arrow, to die in Cuba, and to
be brought back to San Juan, where
his ashes still repose, in leaden case
beneath the altar of the Dominican
church.
From his castle, known as casa
Blanca" the view he often gazed
upon is still outspread through screens
of palms above the crenelated wall
around his garden, across the land
locked bay which, 50 many times since
De Leon death, has been the scene
of naval demonstrations.

Recently the largest whaleback ves-
sci ever constructed was launched at
Wost Superior, Wis. 1t is 430 feet
long and is one of the largest freight
carriers in tho world. The "whale
back" is comparatively new type of
boat, built expressly to ride easily in
rough seas The main part or steel
hull OF the vessel is shaped like fat
cigar, and with concave upper por'
tion over which tue waves may dash
without causing Inconvenience. AS a
result the whaleback steamer can plow
through heavy seas that would seri-
ously interfere with the progress Of
an ordinary vessel.

Still another story of Lincoln, illus
trating his respect for his wife's iudg-
ment: While Lincoln was practising
law in Springfield, the fire-hose COM
pany, desiring to buy some new appa-
ratus, sent out subscription papers,
and our youthful collector called upon
the future president. He was closely
examine on the purpose of the sub
scription, and finally Lincoln agreed
to subscribe in this fashion, "Well,
I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll go
home to supper-Mrs. Lincoln is
generally good-natured after supper
and then I'll tell her I've been think
ing of giving $50 to the brigade, and
she'll say: ABE, you will never have
any sense? Twenty dollars is quite
enough So tomorrow, my boy, you
come around and get your $40.

HE DID HIS BEST.

One O'Neal, my next-door neighbor,
Irish born, but Yankee bred,
Has the U. s. fever in him
From his shoe soles to his head.
And though barred from fighting, being
Crippled by an accident,
To excess of patriot ardor
He increasingly is bent.
He has eheered our Cuban struggle
With enthusiastic vim,
Not hero has arisen
But has won a shout from him;
On his heart he has recorded
Name of every gallant son
That in cause of dear Old Glory
Has the crown of valor won.
Daily he would sound their praises
To the ever-listening wind,
Till chance to make his homage
More enduring he did find;
Destiny a son did bring him.
Him he named with ardent zeal

ELIAS DUDLEYs FORTUNE
Started When He Ordered Vice President
Hannibal Hamlin Out of His Store.

Hannibal Hamlin Out of His Store.
One of the largest estates in the vii
lage of Presque Isle, Me-, belongs to
the heirs of Elias Dudley, an old-time
merchant of the town, whose pros
perity was largely due to the fact that
he once ordered vice president of
the United States out of his store.
Dudley was an old school Quaker who
went to Maine from Pennsylvania
years ago and carried on small trade
in buying furs from the French Can
adian squatters. He sold few stand
ard groceries and kept socks, mittens
and cheap clothing. Though he could
have made himself rich in short
time by selling liquor and tobacco, his
conscience would not allow him to
keep either. SO firm was he in his
principles that he would allow no one
to use tobacco in his store.
In the. summer of 1864 Hannibal
Hamlin of Bangor, who was then vice
president, went up there to enjoy
weeks fishing in Squaw Pan lake and
called at Dudley's store to purchase
the needful supplies for his outing.
While waiting for his goods to be put
up, Mr.. Hamlin lighted cigar and
walked up and down the floor. Dud-
ley, who was in the back store, de-
tected the odor of tobacco and came
out in towering rage.
Mr.. Hamlin," said he, "get out of
my store at once. Nobody is allowed
to smoke here. If President Lincoln
or Queen Victoria should coma into
