whereon Guayaquil and New York
stand. These spots are international
commercial nodes. such because the

points the lines of travel meet and

that the lands and the seas Join on
terms of the greatest mutual advan-
tage in all that goes to pay tribute
to mans commercial activities, says
the Bulletin of the Pan-American
Union.
Guayaquil has all the natural ad-
vantages. It is at the meeting of the
sea routes. Only San Francisco and
Panama along the whole Pacific coast
OF North and South America can rival
it in this respect. But the three oc-
cupy separate spheres and so are not
rivals in any sense. Guayaquil is on
the only navigable river from middle
California to Cape Horn, and this riv-
er, or rather fluvial system. furnishes
highways to all parts of large and
compact area of the most fertile and
productive agricultural lands in west
ern South America. an area of APP
proximately $4,000 square miles. Down
and into this zone lead the best trails
from the high lands of Ecuador, Peru.
and Colombia.
Gulf Of GuayaquII.
The Gulf of Guayaquil is the largest
opening along the whole west coast Of
South America. 1t is shaped nearly
like an equilateral triangle with one
tip bent. The straight side, running
nearly north and south, extends about
lao miles from Cape Blanco in Peru

Instantly and with one gulp, the big
fellow swallowed the stuff, wiped his
great mustache, and claimed his re-
ward. 1t was all done so prettily that
even the head surgeon permitted him
self to smile
But the real comedy began when the
head nurse, a matron turning fifty, ap-
peared next morning and announced:
Every one of you who takes his
medicine will be allowed to kiss me"
The effect was immediate. Each
and every patient made a face and put
down on the table beside him the dose
which he had been about to swallow.
Now the head nurse Is goodness
itself, and her goodness is well spiced
with wit. She was the first to laugh
at the result of her invitation. Then
she pretended to be angry.

world treat it as place to be summed
and refused association. No boycott
is more complete or more merciless
than the boycott of quarantine, and
quarantine against Guayaquil is
scarcely ever lifted. Ecuadorians have
complained and do yet complain
against what they term the injustice
of the permanent quarantine. They
point out that where for periods of six
months or more there has been no
case of yellow fever or plague at
Guayaquil. yet there has been no re-
Taxing of the quarantine regulations.
