Sailors on the Atlantic feet of bat

Hampton Roads from its world cir

''Take it from u.s." said Keller, "that
Australia is the country. We had
finer time there than any other place
we visited Those fellows in Mel
bourne are good sports, all right, and
they have a dandy town. You ought
to have seen Tommy Burns lick
Squires while we were there. Maybe
that wasn't some fight. That was the
place to celebrate. Maybe we didn't
indulge in few whirls."
GLOW about Japan?" Keller was
asked.
"Oh, Japan is all right he replied.
'"That is a pretty good country, but 1t
can't compare with Australia. Those
Japanese think they are hot potatoes,
but they treated us o. K, and we've
got no kick against them. Say, you
know we went to Messina, where they
had the earthquake, and those Italians
think there is nobody in the world like
an American. They ought to, for we
did the best we could for them"
This talk about Italy reused Crud-
den of Taunton to speak his mind.
Sunny Italy they call it, do they?"
he exclaimed with fine contempt 81
never saw the sun there at all. There
amt any sunshine there any more
than there is here in this fog today.
It's a cold, wet place, and that's all
there is to Italy,
"Hold on, jack" interrupted Keller.
GLOW about art? They've got pictures
over there that will simply knock your
eye out"

have got some statues over there, too,

"What are you talking about" put
in Keller. "You can't seem to remem-

see, Pompeii is place what was bur

porter asked.
"Well, l should think!' exclaimed
Keller. "But 1 don't call this home yet.

for me. When / land there I'll be
