fusion. There were tall date palms
laden with fruit, banana, dragon 4S
cork trees. Everywhere bright COL
ored flowers greeted the eye among
which were giant geraniums and cac-
tacea The scarlet color which
cleaned amidst the dark green fol-
iage adorned the walls, windows and
balconies of the stately old houses
presented a striking and pleasing
picture. The most beautiful spot of
Gibralter is the Alameda, a large
park with beautiful subtropical veg
citation. FROM the terrace here we
obtained a splendid view of the gilt
tering blue sea and the naval harbor
in the foreground When we had
finished our drive through Gibralter
we drove over into Spain.
AS we passed from the shelter OF
the great rock we could see on our
left the African coast with the Atlas
Mountains shimmering in the sun,
while ahead of us were the snow
covered mountains of Spain with
their peaks enveloped in soft laven-
der and opal mists. Along the level
sandy road we sped passing men,
women and children in all sorts of
costumes carrying great loads into
Gibralter. At the border line our
drivers were searched for struggled
goods after which we were permitted
to pass into Spain.
We now found ourselves in the
midst of a crowded town driving
through narrow crooked streets on
each side of which were low ram
bling houses of stone or cement with
tiled roofs. Aside from this pictur-
esque town we visited no place of in
terest here, except all old Spanish
bull ring.
On our drive back to Gibralter we
were besieged by crowd of dirty
ragged children who followed the
carriage begging for pennies. We
were, amuse to see the small boys
driving herds of dirty goats up to
the doors of some of the houses
Presently some one would come from
within with pan and after milking
the goats would drive them again in
to the street until the boys were
ready to drive them back to their
pasture.
Before our return to the boat we
could not resist the temptation to
visit some of the shops. Here Gin
Gibralter) we saw products from all
parts of the world among which were
valuable ivory, costly textiles, many
colored Oriental fabrics and Span
ish laces.
While we were awaiting the ten
der which was to convey us back to
the boat we watched the crowd that
thronged the market place where
poultry, vegetables, fruits and beau
tiful flowers were sold. Here also
were Chinese, Arabs, Moors, Hin.
docs, black eyed Spanish girls and
sailors of every nationality. AS
soon as we were again aboard the
boat anchors were weighed and we
steamed out eastward into the Med.

harbor the Rock could be seen in its
entire length from the east side

had followed out were plainly visi.

their towels wrapped about their
neeks. You may imagine that the
towels had lost their freshness by
the time we had been at sea for five
or six days Their meals were often
served on deck. Each man had tin
cup for coffee and a spoon. Their
coffee was brought up in huge boilers
while their food was given them in
dish-pans. The food usually consist
ed of some form Of spagetti. AS
many as could would gather aound
the pan and holding in one hand a
cup of coffee and a piece Of bread
would eat from the contents Of the
pan with the other.
Our cabin situated on the sunny
side of the boat had two large port
holes through which the sun shown
most all the day. AS it was near the
center of the boat we suffered little
from the pitching of the vessel when
the waves were running high. The
boats chef was an excellent German
cook preparing the food in many
ways entirely new to us, yet very
tempting to our ever increasing ap-
petites., Breakfast was served at
1880, light refreshments at 10:30
luncheon at II o'clock, light re-
freshments at 4:3O and six-course
dinner at o'clock. Each evening
we had band concert and quite Of
ten an Italian girl and her father
gave concert in the drawing room
The Italian girl was quite young and
had a beautiful voice. She was on
her way to Milan, Italy, to study for
grand opera.
Day after day the great boat con-
tinued to plow through the blue sea
leaving in it's wake pale green fur
row crested with white foam which
sharply contrasted with the deep
blue of the ocean.
We saw large fishes playing about
the boat some of which would leap
from the water one after another in
the fashion of game of leap-frOg.
The weathe became warmer as we
advanced into the sea. Milo played
upon the deck most of the time with

Despite the interesting life about
us we were delighted with the Azore
islands which we passed on the fifth
day out. When first sighted they ap-
peared like great cloud arising
from the sea. We first passed the
island Frayal which was 335 feet
above sea level. We passed near

mountains wre terraced for cultiva'

Right Kind of Assessor.

There is an assessor up in Grove
township that is certainly doing bus
mess with a proper spirit. When he
goes out to assess and three or four
dogs meet him at the gate, he pro-
ceeds calmly to the proprietor of the
farm, makes his assessment, asks
how many dogs he has. If the pro-
prietor says he has none and that a
few dogs just 'hang around the
place." Mr.. Assessor just pulls out a
revolver and speedily dispatches the
CANNES in sight. He says he may
not be elected assessor again, but he
is going to get the dog tax of his
township while he holds the job.
There should be more assessors of
this kind in every township In the
county. Bedford Free Press.

sea for another forty-eight hours.
On Dec. IT, we awakened early
with a feeling that something I'M
usual had taken place. 1t did not
take us long to realize that the
steady chug-chug of the engine,
which had sounded so constantly in
our ears for the past eight days, had
ceased and that we were lying peace.
fully in some harbor. With bound
we were out of bed, although it was
yet quite dark, for we remembered
that this was the day we were due at
Gibralter. Through our portfolios we
could see the lights Of the city high
above us like innumerable twinkline
stars. We were soon up on deck
where we found a crowd, some at
firming that they were unable to
sleep since the motion of the boat
had ceased But in our hearts we
| telt that their sleeplessness as well
as our own was due to the prospect
of visit to Gibralter. Slowly one
by one the lights of the city before
us disappeared and in the obscure
light of the early morning the huge
Rock of Gibralter stood before us
like a grim sentinel guarding the en-
trance to the Mediterranean. And
we'll may it appear grim for inside
it are stored enormous quantities OF
gun powder AS the daylight ad-
vanced we could see plainly the muZ-
ingly toward us. The Notifications
extend the entire length of the huge
rock This is a fortress of immeas-
urable value to the British, for in it
they possess the key TO the Mediter-
ranean.
Bye and bye reddish golden glow
enveloped the scene and We realized
that the sun was rising behind the
rock, casting soft rosy tints over land
and sea- The whole city of Gibral-
ter was soon plainly seen nesting to
the rock with it's cream cOlored
houses climbing in terraces up the
steep sides while surrounding all
was the ruins of an old Moorish cas-
tie which speaks of the one-time
glory of the MOors and their domin-
ion over this country.
Breakfast was served earlier on
this morning than usual and we were
soon ready to go upon the shore. Our
boat had not pulled up to the wharf
SO at $3.50 a tender came from the
shore for all passengers who wished
to visit Gibralter. Safely embarked
on the tender we made our way
through a crowd of small row boats
filled with peddlers who were dis
playing their wares of fruits, flowers
and pictorial post cards, passed large
and small steamers, warships and
mercantile vessels and in a short
time we had the pleasure of again
feeling good old mother earth under
our feet.
On the quay were carriages await
ing to take us through the streets Of
Gibralter. We were full Of eager
ness to be seeing the sights so with
out much delay we were driving
through the narrow crooked streets
where we saw representatives of al
the races of man, many in their ma
tive costumes, mingling together ant
jostling each other in the crowded

PLANS PROGRESSING FOR
THE MIDSUMMER CARNIVAL
BIG ATTRACT TONS TO BE
BROUGHT TO LAURiUM PARK.
Carnival Probably Will Be Held Dur
ing Week of Fourth.

Plans are progressing for the annual
midsummer carnival to be conducted
at the Laurium Driving park during
the week Of July 4th if suitable at
fractions can be secured for that date.
Mr.. Havis, representing the United
Fairs Booking Association is in Laur-
ium and last evening conferred with
the directors of the Park association.
No decision was reached, and il is
probable none will be until other fair
attractions are heard from.
The success which attended the car
nival at the Driving park last sum
mer was marked and at that time thu
directors decided that the mid summer
carnival would be an annual feature
The experience gained last year has
been found very valuable and it is GER
tain that this years fair will be big
ger and better than ever.
An effort will be made to secure at
fractions which are entirely new in th'
copner country. There are large
number of amusement companies pro-
viding attractions for enterprises %
this kind and the park management
proposes to secure the pest obtainable
In addition to the shows, il is likely
some novel features will be introduced
to add TO the attractiveness of the fair
