| two Barre business men, who are at
present touring through Cuba, carries
| the information that the young men
are enjoying to the limit the sights
phases and customs Of a new country.
In speaking about many Of the novel

escape must be an efficient swimmer,
and clever enough to dodge a large
force Of guards who patrol the oppo-

in military uniforms. II would appear

United Fruit company's steamers
