There ia one man in New York for whom the month of May brings no dread of the ( annual flight before the grasping hand of the landlord. When the advent of spring turns the thoughts of thousands to the horrors of moving day, Mr. and Mrs. M. W. Hall are se renely indifferent When the first warm days of summer set other people to dreaming elf aalt water and ocean breetea off Cape Cod or the coast of Maine, Mr. Hall miles in the superior sort of way befitting that Indifference to hotel bills which is the envy of all his fnends, while Mrs. Ilall gives un distractedl attention to planning the most fetching of summer costumes. Wlien winter come and a trip, to Flor ida or the Gulf seems a rquch to be de sired end, they don't even stop to pack their trunk; they Just go, - For Mr. Hull is the fortunate owner of the odd' est and most unique craft known to Kew York waters, the cruijing house boat, "Oatka." - So far as is known, it is the onlv vessel of its' kind in the world. Forty- seven feet long, with a 16-foot beam, and drawing only 8 1 2 Ifeet of water, the "Oatka," is, in effect, a sea going flat, by the whim of the owner set afloat on the waves. She is built double and heavily timbered throughout, with a yachting keel that enables her to cut the water easily and make sharp tucks without upsetting, and the crew con sists of just, two people hep owner a captain and hi wife as first mate. There was a time when the Halls, like their unfortunate friends, cringed be fore the landlord and the janitor of a Harlem apartment house) but being made of more heroio stuff than their neighbors, they at last rebelled, and Mr. Hall, who Is a marine engineer, as sumed the prerogatives of marine architect aa well and designed the craft which now enable, him to greet his erstwhile oppressors with a grin, Until the last few davs the purvey ors of fancy '-drink along the Great White, Way have not been overanxious about the delayed ait lval of - spring; THE TRENTON I First-Class Liquors and Cigars : 602 Commercial Street., : Corner Commercial and 14th. r Astoria, Oregon, z for the annual importation ' df limes from the West Indies haa been delayed also, and without them it would have been impossible to meet the usual warm weather demand for gin-flu, lime lem onade, gin-rickeys and kindred bever ages. The limes are here, now, how ever, 2,000.000 of them. Thev came in one day last week, inspiring pleas ant visions of themselves graceful afloat in tall slender glasses, where lit. tie chunks of ice clink , merrily; and with them came the hope that spring would come at last to a waiting city, and for a brief season banish hot drinks and winter overcoats. My Beat Friend. Alexander Benton, who Uvea on Rural Route 1, ort . Edward, N. T., says: "Dr. King's New Discovery Is my best earthly friend.
