for the Sportsman 
Built on comfortable lines with all the 
sportsman conveniences. Resist wind, 
cold and moisture. Made of the genuine 
North Country wool which has made 
Patrick Cloth famous. 
There is no other cloth just like Patrick 
Cloth. It is as distinctive to America as 
are friezes to Ireland, cheviots to Scot- 
land and tweeds to England. It is made of 
the thick, long-fiber North Country wool 
from "sheep that thrive in the snow." 
Manufactured exclusively in Patrick 
woolen mills and made up into garments 
in Patrick factories. Patrick controls ev- 
ery manufacturing process, from raw wool 
to finished garments. 
Look for the Patrick Label. If your 
dealer does not carry the line we will 
refer you to one who does.

or sprouts from the root. It is not im- 
probable that the forbidden fruit of the 
Garden of Eden was not the apple but 
the banana, and the Tree of Knowledge 
of Good and Evil may have been a 
banana plant inasmuch as it grows to a 
height of twenty feet or more in tropical 
countries; this might also be inferred 
from its botanical name Musa sapientum. 
In the old New England Primer we read 
that “In Adam’s Fall We Sinned All.” 
And many an unlucky son of Adam has 
since fallen by means of a banana skin! 
On the day we left Porto Rico the 
Governor General of the Island with his 
staff of officers and their ladies came 
aboard, he having been recalled to Spain. 
Among the General’s effects we saw an 
iron box which seemed quite heavy. One 
of his staff informed me that it contained 
three hundred thousand dollars which 
the General had accumulated during his 
incumbency of six months. Expressing 
some surprise at this he explained by 
saying that the General was a great 
financier. The last stroke of his finan- 
cial genius was related to me with evi- 
dent pride. 
It seemed that before the departure 
of the General one of his duties was to 
pay the troops. Up to that time a Mexi- 
can silver dollar was worth but sixty 
cents in Porto Rico. So with his finan- 
cial eye fixed on the main chance the 
General, during his tenure of office, had 
corralled enough Mexican silver dollars 
to pay the troops. He then issued a de- 
cree fixing the par value of the Mexican 
silver dollar at one hundred cents. Thus 
by this brilliant manipulation of the 
money market he realized a profit of 
forty per cent. Once, in Havana, an 
acquaintance, a Captain in the Mexican 
navy, having recruited a crew of forty 
men, was compelled to pay two dollars 1 
each to have their passports vised be- 
cause the steamer sailed on a holiday, ' 
whereas the legal fee, which I had paid 
the day before, was but forty cents. I 
knew an American dentist in Havana 
who was compelled to pay an annual 
license fee of five hundred dollars, where- 
as the Spanish dentists paid less than a 
tenth of that sum. But these trifling 
peccadillos of the Spanish regime seem , 
insignificant when compared with the 
greed, extortion and robbery practised at 
the present day in our own country. 
W E were seventeen days in crossing , 
from Havana to Cadiz. The ship 
could have made it in half the 
time, but there being no opposition and 
being subsidized by the Government at ' 
twenty thousand dollars per trip for car- 
rying the mail there was no hurry, and 
the universal custom of manana (to- 
morrow) prevailed. But as we too were 
in no hurry, and had become somewhat 
infected with manana, we enjoyed every 
minute of the voyage. We found the 
ladies and gentlemen of the General’s 
suite very agreeable and pleasant, both 
on the ship and afterward in various 
parts of Spain, where we were delight- 
fully entertained in their own homes. 
At night we foregathered with the 
others in the social saloon where with 
mirth and music, cards and other games, 
the evenings passed most delightfully. 
Some of the ladies were excellent pian-
