WILL ATTRACT THE TOURIST
City of Guayaquil Making a Bid for
Travellers Who Delight in
the Picturesque.

Ecuador will soon be ready for a
greater business with the world and
for the tourist. Guayaquil, the coun-
try's chief port, is now undergoing a
thorough %sanitating. Streets are be-
ing modernized, and otherwise the city
is improving. The ancient capital of
Ecuador, Quito, lies nearly 300 miles
by railway from Guayaquil. A few
tourists have used the new railway
"along the roof of the world" and WIS.,
tied the interesting old city.
Guayaquil lies up the Guayas river
go miles from the ocean,, so the average
ship passenger does not even secure a
passing view of the second port of i'm
portance on the west coast of South
America. However, on clear days,
when the ship is not many miles from
shore, it is possible to sight Cotopaxi
or ~Chimborazo, the former sending to
the sky a smoky column from its snow
white cone.
NOrthward $40 miles we sight the
fOliage-bedecked islands in the Bay of
Panama, and shortly thereafter drop
anchor near the entrance to the
worlds greatest canal.

From a Great Diary.

Evelyn, the great diarist and cOur-
tier, is blind to many things which
his readers would gladly have had him
notice and record.
He tells us nothing of the condition
OF the mass Of the people, rarely
speaks of poor persons or servants,
rarely mentions the clothes he wore or
the food he ate, never, at any rate,
with that pleasure of memory I'M
ashamed which gives such details the
smack of life in Pepys or Boswell.
He never gOssips; tells us little of
his neighbors' vices, and nothing of
their follies would assuredly not have
recorded, If there had been any such
matters to record, his wife's jealousy
of his attentions TO her mind; gives
no such touches % rude veracity as
that of Pepys' sister, for whom a hus-
band must be found at once as "she
grows old and ugly" or that Of poor
Mr.. Pechell, "whose red nose makes
me ashamed to be seen with him,
though otherwise a good-natured man."

Richard Stewart, who plays the part
of Edouard in the International serial
"Patria," released by Pathe, with Mrs.
Vernon Castle in the title role, was

The fat part in a big show is all
right" walled Stewart, but it has its
drawbacks"
Whats wrong?"
Nothing wrong. Everything correct
and according to scenario and direc-
tors orders. Mrs. Castle knocks me
down a fight of stairs yesterday with
her grandfather's clock and throws
the heirloom on top Of me. I'm bump

And Stewart limped on his way.

cARTooNIsrs RISE TO FAME
Louis Raemekers Probably the Best
Known Of Artists Who Teach
With the Pen.

Hidden away in an obscure studio
in n London suburb, with n price upon
his head Offered by Germany Louis
Raemekers has made the whole world
shudder with his cartoons of the great
war.
A year and a half ago he was an I'M
known Dutch landscape artist. To-
day he is acclaimed the greatest mas
ter of pen and pencil of the age; he
has been feted by royalty, sought by
German spies and charged with endan-
gerlng Dutch neutrality. BY the usu-
ally reserved and frequently skeptical
Englishman he is frankly idolized
and all because he has pictured Ger
man "kulture" and its dire effects.
His cartoons are now the rage of
the hour in New York, where an exhib-
1t of originals is being given for the
benefit Of the French Red Cross.
Louis Raemekers was born in Hol-
land of a Dutch father and a German
mother. When quite young he studied
painting and drawing in Holland and
Brussels, and before the war began
he had established a local reputation
as a landscape and portrait painter.
Some years ago he married a Dutch
woman, and it is now said by those
who know him hat he has no inter-
est outside his home, which includes
three rudy children, except to go on
with his work. The strong religious
tendency which so often characterizes
his work has brought forth the ques-
o of what church the artist attends.
His reply is that he belongs to none.
but was brought up a Catholic and his
wife a Protestant, and the differences
which in later life severed both from
their early teaching caused them to
meet IN common ground.

MIstIetoe Was Ancient panan..

Numerous curious and ridiculous SUI
perstitions as to methods of prevent
Ing disease were believed in years ago,
and are not altogether extinct even
today, it is said.
Much ancient faith clustered about
the mandrake root, which was carved
In the form of a doll, dressed In fine
clothes, and kept in a box or coffin con-
cealed in some corner of the house.
Each month 1t was washed in wine
and water and freshly CARRIED.
Another universal cure was 70 carry
a piece of mistletoe which had been
from a tree by q golden sickle and
caught in a white vessel as it fell.
Metal scraped from a church bell or a
piece of the rope was supposed to have
a similar protective influence against
disease, as also a cloth stained in the
blood of a murderer, or the rope with
which he was hanged.

GREED MET PROPER REBUKE
Incident on Street Car a Case Of
Righteous Retribution and Some

However, she was cycling the coin as
Il cat does a mouse, ready TO pounce
on it at the first favorable oppor-
tunity. simultaneously the gaze of a
dapper elderly gentleman. seated next
the Woman Who Saw, lighted upon
the glittering object. 1t would have
been an easy matter to have stopped
and possessed himself of it, but the
eagle eye of his fellow passenger fol-
her desire to appropriate the coveted
prize. After a few seconds of irreso-
luton he reached down ard literally
grabbed the lucky find. Opening his
closed hand he took one glance at the
treasure. A peculiar expression crossed
his face, and his fingers closed tightly
again. This was too. much for the
well-dressed woman, who could re-
strain herself no longer; greed took
possession of her, and leaning for
ward she addresses the finder in icy
accents: Pardon me, sir, that belongs
to me. l just dropped it,"
With a courteous bow the gentleman
replied: Permit me to restore your
property, madam and he placed in
the immaculate gloved hand, now
eagerly extended, a shining tobacco
tag.
