Says he,- Isthmus moon

love to a cigar sign." He tells
about one , of' their baseball
games, where, a crowd was
."enthusiastic to the degree of
temporary insanity and impar
tially joshing everybody in
sight He also heaves a brick
at Uncle Sam's Hotel; "The
United States can go on record
as conducting a hotel where
positively less food for the
price is served than any. other
place in' the universe."
Social life on the Isthmus is
regulated according to your pay.
If you earn $300 a month
you snub the people who only
get $250, and smile graciously
on those who get $325.
Altogether, Panama and

they want to.
