Nalaon and th* Spaniard*.
There is an amusing anecdote
about that gruff sea dog Nelson.
Two Spanish captains came on
board with a request to be allowed
to see "the greatest seaman in the
world.” Nelson grumbled, but
gave in and went on deck, forget-
ting that “at that moment liis legs
were bound up at the knees and
ankles with pieces of brown paper
soaked in ^inegar and tied on with
red tape.” This had been done to
allay the irritation arising from,
mosquito bites. Quite forgetting
his attire and the extraordinary ap-
pearance which it presented, Lord
Nelson went on deck and conduct-
ed the interview with the Spanish
captains with such perfect courtesy
that his singular appearance was
quite obliterated by the charm of
his manner, and the Spaniards left
the ship with their hign opinion of
him thoroughly confirmed.
Mr. Bryan in his speech of ac
oeptance, delt the Republican
party some terrific blows, on
aome very vulnerable spots. Mr.
Bryan charges Secretary Taft
with attempting to amend the
Robublican Platform, which is
an admission that the trusts and
not the people wrote it. It is
well known, that the motion was
made in the Republican National
Convention to provide for the
physical valuation of railroads
as-a guide d which the amount
of atovkk and bonds should be is
HHaueil by the roads. It is well

HIDING MONEY.
Bmv FImw In Which th* CubaM
•*«r*t* Th*ir Spar* Cash.
Although thara are now excel-
lent savings banks in Cuba, for
generations the people have been
accustomed to secrete their cash. A
traveler tells of one hiding place in
a bird house in a tree. The Cu-
ban’s residence had been looted a
number of times during various
revolutions, but the raiders had
never suiqjected the bird house in
the tree. After the death of the
head of the familv the valuables
were removed by the children and
placed in Mt Havana bank. In
another case tie wall of a building
was choetn. A man with consider-
able patience hollowed out one of
the stones in thia wall Five days
were consumed in chipping out the
hollow. Within this hollow the lit-
tle casket containing jewels and
money was placed. Then a stone
slab had to be cut to replace the
front without showing any break.
This required two days more. The
piece of stone was slipped into
place and sealed with cement In
order to remove the stone front
took were required each time. But
this hiding place served for yean
and exists now.
One man thought he had found a
most effective biding place when
he put a shelf up under the eaves
of his house for holding-the cash
box. This place was chosen partly
because of the existence of a small
hornets’ nest there. Robben, as a
rale, will net take much interest in
searching a nlace in the vicinity of
a neat of wasps or hornets. But
the i home of the insects grew, and
after a few months the nest ex-
panded to the box, and the owner
could not get the box without dan-
ger of being stung. He was obliged
to hire two bee experts to come
with nets and ladden and remove
the box. A wasp stung through
one man’s mitt just as he grasped
the box, and the receptacle fell to
the pavement below, and some
small pearls were rendered about
the place. Several hours were con-
sumed in finding the lost valuables.
The owner vowed that he would
place his valuables, in a depository
in Havana thereafter. *
Another odd place for hiding a
bag of cash was in a hollowed tank
leg. Cuba is noted for its ponder-
ous articles of furniture. There
are table legs with ample surface
for hollowing a secret chamber.
Usually a tightly fitting door is
made, and when this is closed the
bag is well concealed. The hall
light stands are not overlooked in
some of the homes of the Spaniards
and the Cubans. The natives of
the country love to have plenty of
hall light. These hall lights are
often fixed to elaborate stands. One
such stand proved to be a very ef-
fective hiding place for years un-
til one night the house burned
down, and the money went with it.
