Spanish bibliophiles were proud, yet
fnconSolable, when the Marquis de
Jeres sold hts library Of rare books
and unique volumes to the American
collector. Among the 1000 rare vol
umes Mr.. Huntington bore back to
America and to the Spanish library
and museum were the first five editions
of Don QuiXote," the only copy known
to exist of Closes de Jorge Manrique,
printed in Gothic characters at the be-
ginning Of the sixteenth century; like
wise the only copy extant OF THE
Mirror OF Human Life" book pub
lished at Saragossa the year before
Christopher Columbus discovered
America.
Mr.. Huntington gave the site and
contributed $4,000 to the building OF
the Church of Our Lady of Hope, at
156th street and Riverside Drive. King
Alfonso contributed to the church a
large sanctuary lamp. tho work OF
Felix Granda and an exact copy of a
lamp of exquisite design that hangs
in the Church of Santa Antonio de la
Florida in Madrid. Mr.. Huntington
also purchased $500, 900 worth Of Span
ish coins for the museum.
He bought the home of Cervantes
at Valladolid. King Alfonso expressed
his pleasure that the ancient home of
SPANS most famous author should
have become the property OF so en-
thuslastic a collector as Senior Hunt
ington." The people OF Spain then be-
gan to call him "the Prince Of His
paniolists."

In consequence Of the large perrnA-

said, II don't know much about music,

Is growing acquaintance with
characteristic Spanish food in this
country. The American palate ac-
cepts cheerfully the pasta, thick
marmalade served in quarter inch
thick strips at every meal. Made from
ounce or guava it Is pleasant and
appetizing. Yellow rice Is kindly re-
ceived by the American stomach, but
for red peppers and black beans It
displays no enthusiasm. Yet epicures
approve the Spanish form of Goldfish,
preserved in red rock salt. And Spain
Is an excellent bread maker.
A feature Of Spanish workman life
that might be emulated In America is
the practice Of employing a reader who
reads aloud the newspapers, the maya
zines, the poems and classics to the
laborers as they toll. Thus education
proceeds with livelihood earning.
The Spanish heart in America Is
tender toward its lovely young prima
donna, who came to this country to
sing. but whose voice was never heard
By some cruel whim OF fate the girl
lost her voice before or during her
voyage to this country. Although she
remained here for a year seeking to-
WOO 1t back it utterly eluded her.
Spanish pride, Spanish courage,
which ever or both. she displayed at
her ordeal, when she sailed for Spain
she whispered that she would come
back and America would hear her.
But she has not returned. Her coun-
trymen, strolling or riding through
Central Park. say softly: THE brave
little Lucrezia Bori. You remember
how she coasted down the hills yonder
near the wall with the childrenl And
how she laughed, even though her
heart were breaking! Bori la magni-
neal"
They smile, too, at another charac-
teristiC. Spanish artists OF the stage
and their families regard the theatre
as their home. On the fashionable
opening night at tho Park Theatre a
peasant woman wrapped In a black
shawl calmly paced the aisles sooth-
Ing q whmpering black-eyed infant.
She was the wife Of one of the hum
bier singers. The management Sc,
cured for her n chair far on the side.
That. without n ticket she did not be-
long in the smart assemblage Of first
nighters occurred not to her to ruffie
her deep placidity.
1T is reminiscent" said they who
knew Spain and South America "She
knows the open air theatres. the am
phitheatres where all come and go.
There there are no barbados"

part in Spain. While student in that
country he acquired deep apprecia-
ton of its art and literature and an
unusual understanding of the psychol-
ogy Of its people. He is the founder
and president of the Hispanic Society
in America. He gave to II a deed for
the site of the Hispanic Museum and
library. The building, situate on a
knoll in Audubon Park. Is reached by
a terrace. and commands a sweeping
view Of the Hudson River Standing
at Broadway and 156th street, it has
for neighbor the Columbia Library on
Cathedral Heights.
Mr.. Huntington gave fourteen years
to collecting personally the treasures
for this museum. He has never en-
ployed an agent. He gave himself the
pleasure of the discovery and pur-
chase of the books and arms and
paintings and statues that make Of
the museum veritable treasure house
OF Spain. The institution is free, yet
is controlled by the Hispanic Society,
Twelve lots We're conveyed by him and
an endowment OF S350,000 provided for
the maintenance OF the museum. The
building cost half a million dollars.
Not only is Mr.. Huntington regarded
as the best friend of Spain in prl-
vate American life. but as an au-
thority on Spanish arts and letters
He is an enthusiast also on Spanish
archaeology, He has written books
on Spanish themes and has caused to
be reprinted in artistic form and at
great cost fifty rare Spanish works
for the use of libraries and bibliophiles.

Growth of the Colony.
Before the Span!sh-American War
in 1898 New York had a Spanish
American population Of 1900 During
and Immediately subsequent to that
brief conflict the number diminished
to 400. That 1t has increased to $50 900
is due to several factors. First the
speedy forgetting of the disagreement
that was so quickly settled. Second,
the educational facilities which the
United States affords to the children
of the southern lands. President Car

Adolphy de Magnon, wife OF a Next
can banker and head OF the Mexican
White Cross, which in merciful funC-
ton corresponds to the American Red
Cross, that she purposed bringing her
daughter here to be educated in the
convent OF which she was an alumna,
and that her son would be matricu-
lated at Fordham, responded: That
Is well. My son was educated there
The United States has excellent
schools" a third reason is that New
York is a great market and funnel for
the worlds wares. A fourth, a native
of Madrid gave me with a smile:

Luis Mora, the distinguished Chilean

His portraits perpetuate the finest
type OF Spanish beauty. He has
given the Spanish shawl its greatest

Cincinnati man tells how to
lift off any corn without
hurting one bit

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who
have at least once a week invited an
awful death from lockjaw or blood
poison are now told by Cincinnati
authority to use a drug called free
zone, which the moment few drops
are applied to any corn, the sora-
ness is relieved and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts out with the
fingers.
1t is a sticky substance which dries
the moment it is applied and is said
to simply shrivel the corn without
inflaming or even irritating the sur
rounding tissue or skin. 1t is claimed
that a quarter Of an ounce of free
zone will cost very little at any Of
the drug stores, but is sufficient 10
rid ones feet Of every hard or soft
corn or ca1lus.
You are further warned that cut
| ting at a corn is a suicidal habit.

Luxuries Tax Goes On Soda
Water and Sundaes at All
Keokuk Fountains at
End Of Month.

Boys, you had better buy her all
the soda water and ice cream she can
eat before the first of May, for AFTER
that you will have to help pay our
war bill every time you lead Mabel
to the soda fountain.
Most congressman have torSotIen
much that they knew when they were
younger. They framed a so-calied
luxury tax on non-essentials, thinking
they were hitting only the RICH said
a Keokuk young man today.
Among other items they hsted as
luxuries are ice cream and sort
drinks, and we all know that those
ARE not luxnries for girls, but very
essential part of their diet If you
don't know it just try leaving them
ont for a while and see how long 1t
takes for her to give you the go-by
for a fellow that knows what money
was made for.
So after this month when you drop
into your favorite drug store for
fountain refreshment, you want TO
have some extra pennies In your
pocket. Every time you spend DINE
or fractional part thereof, to use the
language of the act, you will have to
Law down an extra penny for your
Uncle Samuel. 1t will be added to
the price in Keokuk May 1.
