Frank Suda, Hon. Frank are in the
garden seed business, which makes
him a great othority on boats. We
was together in Sons of Samurai Bill

he said that. What could 1 reply?
'I observed the ink portrait Of this
Sir Upton in news print" 1 report,
"and it had a sweet face with cap
on it and three (3) military hairs
across the lower chin. 1t were the
kind of face that likes to give silver
spoons to babies and handcuff Ameri-
ca to England in holy we6lock of per-
petuad cordiality. This Sir Bart are
the kind of Englishman that every
body likes to adore because he is
slightly Irish"
"Indeedly yes!" narrate Hon. Frank
Suda, shooting a bone ball into my
pocket. But if you will notice his
photo more studiously you will see
somthing else besides his oceanic cap
and the polka spots on his necktie.
He got a face like Helen of Troy"
"I could not see him resembling
Greek ladies very much" narrate.

that launched 1000 ships?" he ask to

launched four ca thusly far, but he
are increasing very rapidly. And in
1925 he will arrive to America in
Sham Rock No. g."
"XNHAT am Sham Roekg I ask

brick" anecdote Frank Suda.. 1T are
also a very loving weed that make
people lucky like clover. Therefore.
Hon. Sir Bart have named his speed
Iboats after that sacrid vegetable"
Have he got considerable luck
from it?" I requesh.
"How can he tell?'' say Suda. He
have spent 1000, ,00os finding out. For
2s or so yrs. he have come boating
to n. Y. Harbor with another Sham
Rock, begging somebody to sail back
to England faster than he can. I'm
fortunately somebody always do"
DO not this make Hon. Thos.
pretty darnly mad?" is next question
for me.
- 20 otherwiselyw he snagger. TThis
Sir Upton have got such a sweet dis
position that it are pleasure to
defeat him. Think of gentleman with
such iron soul and velvet heart that
he can enjoy losing prize "a years
executively, yet cantinue to give
happy handshakes like the, joke was
on him. What would you do under
such a circumstance, Togo?"
.I would holla No Fair & Hire a
lawyer to prove it." is bright reply
for me.
II am shocked by such sportless
words" reject Frank Suda. with
such a pinched soul you must not
spend your wages on yackts. Look
