real acquaintance with the contents, the
different departments. of sculptor, paint
ings, sketches, etc. all deserving to be
carefully gone through. 1t is one OF the

THE OCEAN ALONGSIDE ATLANTIC CITY

not only on the sea at which l am steal

but on some other far more tumultuous
seas. Yet 1 think Neptune does the best
he can with his oceans. And l think
his oceans ought to be noticed when they

Now. this is something, that I don't
understand. An ocean, when you come
to think of 1T. isn't really anything for
anybody to be ashamed of. The At

ocean, and it behaves just like all
other oceans; sometimes. as at this

circumspection. it is true; but. then.
nobody ought to expect an ocean to

oceans don't and won't do anything OF
the kind. They will hop the reserva-
tion, SO to speak. at times, and start
things. This ocean does. 1t Is doing
it now. 1t often does it. 1t has been do

is not supposed to be a self-controlled
