SAN JUAN INTERESTING CITY
Tropical Town With Ita Laughing, Col-
orful Crowds in Its Narrow Streets,
Delights Visitors.
In these years of no European
travel a good many holidaying
Americans have gone to San Juan
because they could not go “abroad.”
They found a most interesting old
city, a delightful climate, a fine mo-
toring country, but nothing in the
way of tourist accommodations.
There are hotels in San Juan, of
course, but the degree in which they
arc accustomed to and prepared for
the American tourist may be judged
- by-*he fact first $.Ta day is about the
highest tariff you may pay.
San Juan is a low-roofed, pink
and white tropical town, with nar-
row, crowded streets and a little
plaza famous for its trees and the ex-
cellent music played there by the
municipal band on Saturday nights.
On these nights and on all after-
noons many people go to stroll in the
streets of San Juan and many oth-
ers sit in the little open cafes and
sip drinks and watch the crowds
pass. It is a pleasure to walk in this
slow-moving, laughing, colorful
crowd. Although you may not see a
face you know, there is a feeling of
friendliness and good fellowship
about the place. It contrasts very
favorably with the mad, clamorous
rush of Broadway, which causes the
lone stranger to feel more lonesome
still and put his bank roll in another
pocket. Yon feel here the charm
that is everywhere in the tropics and
which has permanently won to them
many a northerner—the charm of
an easy, natural, friendly existence
based upon the consciousness of the
rich bounty of tropical nature and
the soothing uniformity of tropical
climate.

CURING~SICK IN PATAGONIA
Father Drives Daughter, .III With
Measles, Through Cold in Order to
Freeze Out the Demons.
The savage tribes of Patagonia be-
lieve that a great, good spirit creat-
ed the world, but that the affairs of
everyday life are in the hands of
the evil spirit and his imps. A novel
way of combating the influence of
the latter is shown in the following
story:
“One day, when the snow was
lying deep on the Cordillera moun-
tains, suddenly two figures appeared
upon the scene, both carried by gal-
loping horses. One of them was a
heavy-built Tehuelche, dressed in a
skin loincloth and cloak and mount-
ed on a gigantic horse. Upon the
other horse, which was old and se-
date, sat a young girl, looking for-
lorn and pitiable. Though the winds
were bitter and cold, she lacked al-
most every last shred of protection.
Her face and body were blotched
with the rash of well-developed
measles. She stared before her,
neither hope nor despair showing in
her features. But the big barbarian
constantly raised his rawhide whip
to lash the poor animal on which the
girl was riding, thus urging it into
a gallop. Unearthly shrieks filled
the air each time the whip descended
on the emaciated trunk of the poor
brute.
“These two were father and
daughter. Demons had haunted lus
home and had found his daughter a
ready victim. But demons hate cold
and noise, hence this was the sim-
plest way of compelling the hateful
enemies to break camp and to return
to their mountain caves.”
Stockson-Bonds—Still holding on
to your war babies ?
Ticker tape—Yes. Poor little fond-
lings. Nobody wants ’em.
SELF-REMINDER.
Click—Is that movie actor absent-
minded?
Clack—In a way; but he never
forgets himself.
POSITIVELY THE WORST.
Chollie—I shall be in the social
eye next wintah.
Ferdie—Aw, yes, haw I Social
eye.—Jack o’Lantern.
