doubt some precedent can be found for

some of the stories of the Wild West We
read of cowboy millionaires delighting

merchants to their clientele: Bathing
in superior Malmsey wine Is most forti-

hectolitre (tabout twelve gallons) of this
delicious wine is sufficient for 100 baths.
On each occasion the whole twelve gal
Ions are poured into the bath. and when
the bath (Which should occupy twenty
minutes) is finished. the wine should be
poured back into the barrel. After 100
