tennis grounds without roof, but with
sides constructed of palm leaves and
bunting There were as many as one
hundred couples on the floor and all
enjoyed themselves amazingly until it
rained, which is seldom expected there
at this season Driven to shelter they
carried out the program in the Club
rooms and kept it up until a. m.
Ladies and gentlemen from all parts
of the island came and stayed out the
festivities.

STEAMER COSTA RIGA
STRUCK SAME ROCKS

Thirty-three years ago a passenger
steamer was wrecked at about the same
spot as the Alameda has now come to
grief upon. This was the Costa Rica
in 1872. Among her passengers were
the late Minister H. A P. Carter and his
late son, Charles L. Carter, father and
brother respectively of Governor Car
ter; Mrs. S. G. Wider, sister-in-law of
Minister Carter, and the late Charles
Nordhoff, author and journalist.
Tt was at night that the Costa RIGA
struck, so that the landing of the
passengers, all of whom were saved,
was attended with much difficulty. The
cargo was saved afterward.
Mrs. Wilder, at her residence, Esk-
bank. has pictures of the Costa RIGA on

FIGHTING THE BILLBOARD.

The agitation against the billboard
as a municipal disagreement has all
ready reached goodly proportions, and
the campaign is as yet in it's infancy.
Some efforts, and well-meant efforts,
have been made to improve them, part
ly by designing the billboard itself and
partly by improving the designs of the
signs. Nothing has, however, yet been
accomplished that amounts to definite
and general Improvement, and hence
it is pertinent to inquire if the bill
board is to go?
One of the most obvious steps in mu-
1licipal betterment is to do away with
unnecessary, unsightly objects. The
billboard has been unsightly so long
that many people regard it as perma-
nently evil. At all events it is clear
that if it is to remain it can only do
SO under much better conditions than
now obtain, and it must be supported
on broader grounds than the fact that
a handsome advertising business has
grown up through it's promotion. No
business can be successfully promoted
by improper means; the billboard,
glaring and staring at every point. ap-
proaches the limit beyond which bust
ness should not go. Its misfortune has
been injudicious use.-American Homes

No More Stomach Troubles.

All stomach trouble is removed by
the use of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. 1t
gives the stomach perfect rest by di-
gesting what you eat without the ston-
ach's aid. The food builds up the
body, the rest restores the stomach to
health. You don't have to diet your
self when taking Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure. j. ID. Erskine, of Allenville,
Mich, says: Il suffered heartburn
and stomach trouble for some time.
My sister-in-law has had the same
trouble and was not able to eat for
six weeks. She lived entirely on warm
water. After taking two bottles of
kodol Dyspepsia Cure she was entirely
cured. She now eats heartily and is
in good health. l am glad to say Ko-
dol gave me instant relief" Sold by
