YOU CAN ALMOST KISS
ACROSS STREET IN OLD
HABANA, SAYS BREEN
Continued from Page Onel

and one, the Finland, followed US in
the morning we arrived.
The big fleet of autos moved out
in an orderly manner through the
narrow, crooked streets Of the old
part of Havana. This old town is
most interesting. The burned streets
are about as narrow as a legal Flag
staff alley, yet they maneuver street
cars through them. How they man.
ape to choke the street car around a
corner amazes one, for it looks as
though it would sure bump into the
corner building in making the turn
The streets will just about accomo-
date two autos with two-foot walk
on either side of the street for pedes-
trians.
Overhead, almost in kissing distance
of each other are balconies with the
barred windows noted by Bertha NJ.
Clay and other noted writer's on how
beautiful the senoritas are-or was.
We didn't happen to see that brand
Well, stepping on the gas, we
paraded cut and went from the SUI
blime to the ridiculous. Each one
according to his lights is welcome to
designate which is which. We visited
the brewery first, then visited the
cemetery. The beer was sublime, also
free, but not enough to make a feller
ridiculous. At the Tivoli we were
told that they made over 10000 bot
ties Of beer daily, each of which con-
tainer having accumulated quite con-
siderably over Mr.. Volstead's u of l
per cent mulishness per kilowatt. The
brewery had big front gate with a
policeman at it just as did the ceme-
terry. A feller can realize why there
would be a policeman and big gate
at a brewery, but it is sorta puzzling
about the cemetery.
The Coconino sun., 1925-01-02

A the brewery we discovered a
wonderful sunken garden. Partly
built by nature and in greater part by
the brewery company. A wonderful
driveway; water fall; tropical trees
along the drive way; moss covered
canyon walls and flowers. 1t was a
lower end, the folks that own the
place had put faucet into a big
hogshead stuck into the side of hill
and stationed man there to drain the
brewery for the visitors. Well, you
know how it is with the freedom of
US "sees."
Really, a feller getting something
for nothing has a right to look around
to see how the rest are taking it..
Benched short distance away was a
nice lovable, church-going looking
lady not less than 100 years old, if she
was a day From the look on her face
as she bit into a glass of this ne
farious suds, one could see she must
have helped to pass the original
Maine dry law and moved to Kansas
in her last half At every bite into
the glass of beer you could see she

foot Johnson, and the minister back
home But the glass was empty when
she returned it. Her good, old moth
erly face would have been fine tenn
perance lecture if it could have been
thrown Oh the screen.
Rehearsing back to the cemetery,
of which Havana folks are justly
proud, we desire to acclaim it a most
beautiful place with its marble sar-
cophaguses and monuments. Accord
ing to monumental designation we are
free to relate that there were many
notable heroes living thereabouts in
previous times. Many seemed to have
been caught by Spain in the act Of
liberating Cuba, which was very fatal
Spain seemed very parsimonious about
liberty as well as very nervous on
the trigger. In fact bunch Of stu
dents were shot for desecrating the
grave of a Spanish colonel and later
it was discovered that they did not
do it. They have a monument but |
doubt if they appreciate either the
honor or the mistake.
The First Baptist church was es-
tabiished here in 1898. We just men
ton this fact on account of our Bap-
tist readers, also some of the old gang
who came over here during that year
with Teddy Roosevelt-Bucky O'Neil
and a few others, looking for a place
The Coconino sun., 1925-01-02

called San Juan hill. Many out our
way will remember the place, which
became quite noted by reason of their
having congregated there during one
of the most heated seasons of the
year.
Down along the harbor base for
a monument in memory of the he
roes of the Maine, has been erected
but not completed. A painting over
the base shows what it will be when
completed. Old guns of the ill-fated
Maine and part of its anchor chain
are there.
The ancient Columbus cathedral
built here in 1904 was another point
of interest. Our elderly readers will
remember that Columbus landed
around in these parts along in 1892.
Since that time his bones have been
buried in many parts of the world in
cluding this ancient weather-beaten
religious sanctuary. While not en-
deavoring to get facetious, we gotta
rise to remark that Mr.. Columbus
must have belonged to the carp va
riety of the fish family, otherwise he
would have run out of bones before all
the places where they claim he was
buried could have secured a supply.
1t is nice, however, that Columbus
was so free with his bones.
But as to Havana. The average per
annual sweat and freeze conditions
here plugs around 72 degrees. The
day we were there they were having
one of those unusual" days and the
thermometer leaned heavy on the fig
ger 80, or thereabouts.
This island, which looks like a
freckle on the map, is 760 miles long
and covers an area of $4,000 square
miles, about the area of Pennsylvania.
Penn Ilvania is the state the folks
loaned to Governor Pinchot at the
election a couple years ago. But we
are not speaking of that state. The
people of the two places are not even
similar.
A vast amount of sugar cane is
raised there, also other things out at
the race tracks and at the Grand Ca
sino de la Playa. The local chamber
Of commerce, which does the lying for
Havana, says with great gusto: "The
Grand Casino de la Playa is the Mon
te Carlo of the western world" They
probably go there to ascertain defi-
nitely whether they eat tomorrow or
let the old homestead go on the mort
gage. The place was not running
while we We're there, consequently we
came away with our basket of jewelry
and other valuables.
In passing on, we stopped at the
great Havana cigar factory where
mostly pure Havana cigars are made.
1t is generally conceded that these
cigars make finer texture of smoke,
also stink much more pleasant than
the grade of Havana cigars made in
the United States, even though they
cost the same amount of money.
Hundreds of men were seated at
benches, row after row, like an old
time school room. Up in lookout
chair about the center of the room
was the cheer leader. He was reading
the daily newspaper in loud voice to
the cigar foundry gang. Now and
then there would be loud "Vivas" for
The Coconino sun., 1925-01-02

some fellow or bit of news that struck
their fancy and again they made
noises like batch of nervous geese.
No, | don't know how many cigars
they made in day. Evidently quite
great many, for the gang of tourists
couldn't buy the place out though they
seemed bent on doing it.
| The drive about the city was a
magnificent one, through rows of
royal palms which lead through the
vast country club grounds. This club
has 10000 members and from the well
kept appearance of the golf course
and club buildings, must be prosper
Gus. About the only folks we saw at
| tempting to try to work were gangs
| of brunette men endeavoring to repair
| the paved streets in places.
Prosperity seems to have struck the
place quite violent, for about every
other old building in the ancient part
of the city was being revamped. The
| buildings are practically all of white
stone. One large new apartment
house alone stood out from the rest
because of dove colored stone used.
don't know where they get the stone
but suppose it was dug up some
place.
The homes in the better part of the
city are mainly great white stone
palaces covered with vines and flow
ers all the way from bachelor but
tons to hibiscus, etc. The croton fam
| lily were well represented
They have two classes of people
there. Them what has got it all and
them that haven't got DANCED thing;
and they don't change places often.
We had luncheon on the roof gar
den of the Hotel Sevilla at the con-
clusion Of the drive and were then
cut loose to mop up the place as the
notion took. Everyone went shopping
and came on board in the evening
with a package of some kind or
other.
In the evening there was a contest
on at the national sport called Jailai-
pronounced Chill" They were all
professional players and rate down
here about the same as our profess
sional league ball players. The game
is a cross between handball and ten
mis-, as near as one can describe it,
played with a white ball on the order
Of a golf ball, only smaller. The
players wear long narrow looking
scoop on one hand which resembles a
horn spoon The game is played in a
vast room with an amphitheatre along
one side looking down on court of
cement with high cement walls at
each end. 1t is usually played by four
men, two on side, one well forward,
the other to the rear to pick up hard
wallops that bounce the ball away
back. They can sure scoop up that
pill and slam it around. The player on
one side slams the ball against the
wall and the sucker on the opposing
team must wallop it back so that it
hits inside certain limits on the wall
and bounces back to fair ground in
side the court. When it hit unfair or
the opposition failed to scoop it up
and whoop it back, it counted a point
for the other side. Now, guess you
can play the darned game, though
there may be other rules have over

FIELDS Tribute to Riley

Among the finest tributes which one
man of genius has paid to another il
that Of Eugene Field to his friend
and brother poet, James Whitcomb
Riley. He put it in the language Of
an Indiana villager and the essence
of 1t was this paragraph:
"Riley has got true genius; can't
call it anything else. When he was
born God give him the tongues Of men
and of angels, and threw In charity
for good measure. There hain't no
Shakespeare business abort him, nor
no Byron. Jim is a straightaway poet,
and his pieces are as full OF honey
and dew as the flower the hummin'
bird plays tag with in the cool sun
light Of an early summer morning.
You don't have to have anybody tell
you what Jim means In them pieces;

there hain't no disputed passages. II

Odd Forms of money"
EMPLOYED in Africa

There are three modes of buying
and selling. The first is to exchange
article for article. direct. The second
Is by using a useful medium Of ex-
change, which we will call currency.
The third Is the Western method Of
using a useless object in exchange;
this we win call money.
In South Africa we get the natives
using cattle as currency, exchanging
cattle for goods and the same cattle
changing hands for other goods. More
usually, however, we get barter pure
and simple, ivory and useful objects
to buy beads, trinkets, wire and other
goods.
Farther north, In the Transvaal, we
get actual money, in the shape OF
homemade wire. with a rough knob
on the end Farther west, in the
Congo, we find H-shaped copper plates
used as money. On the Upper Congo
we find imitation swords serving the
purpose, while lower down on the
Stanley Falls we find the ak blade.
(In many South African tribes we get
the hoe so used.) In Sierra Leone we
get an amusing imitation knife blade;
one end is thin and twisted, the other
widening to two points. The BaSongo
and BaNkutu on the Congo use throw
ing knives.

FLORIDA'S WHIPPING BOSS"
FACES MURDER CHARGE IN
DEATH OF LEWIS BARKER
preston News Service)

Cross City, Fla, Mar. Evidently
r. w. Higginbotham, the notorious
whipping boss" of the Putnam Lum-
Der Company, did not learn lesson
from the humiliating experiences and
wide publicity given him in connection
with the death Of Martin w. Talbert,
white youth, alleged to have been
caused by beatings administered by
Brute" Higginbotham, who is to face
charges of murder in connection with
the recent death Of Lewis Barker, who
is alleged to have been the victim Of
the "Brute's" lash.
1t is said that Barker has been miss
ing since October, 1924, and recently
his skeleton was found on the prop
erty of the Putnam Lumber Com
pany. Higginbotham is alleged to
have severaly beaten Barker several
times early in October.
Higginbotham was convicted in
1928 on charge OF second degree
murder and sentenced to 20 years in
the penitentiary. He appealed the
case and was granted new trial and
was subsequently released pending the
new trial. Following the finding Of
the skeleton Of Barker the Whipping
boss" was arrested and granted his
liberty again on a $4,000 bond.
