GEOUGE
R. L. Metcalfe Tries
Out His Spanish at
Vera Cruz; No Good
"Aqua rallena!"
That expression, or something akin to
II, Is what Richard U Metcalfe had to
use In the hotels' In Vera Crut to vet loe
water.
"No, I don't know much Spanish, of
course," sold Metcalfe on his return from
a two weeks' stsy at Vera Crux. "But
1 got along very nicely. I said 'aqua
callcna' when I wanted Ice water, and I
got It."
"Buenos Dlos" was another of Met
calfe's expresses. He pulled this one
la the morning when he got out on the
rtreet and wanted to greet the dons with
a "good morning." Tea, he got away
with that one, too. It took a bunch of
school children on a Spanish boat on
!the way down to .call his bluff. Big as
jou plesse he ssld "Buenos Dios" to them
snd smiled. They liked his smile, and
! soon they wrre following him about on
the deck chattering to him and apklnt
him a lot of questions In the Don 'Al-
' fonso tongue.
! It may have been "81, senior, manana."
oi something else, but It was all the
ssrne to Metcalfe so lie had t resort
'to the kaiser's "nix ferathey" and beg off.
I Oh, yes, he had still another combina
tion of two words that he used when he
wanted a hot bath In the hotel. But
then what's the use? Suffice It that he
got these things when he asked for them.
After staying In Mexico for two weeks
Mr. Metcalfe says the Mexicans are not
half bad If a fellow goes about Ms busi
ness and acts at home. "I spent some
time in the Interior," he said, "and. In
fact, spent several hours around a depot
at midnight waiting for a train. I min
gled with the crowds and no one mo
lested me or paid any attention to me."
Sir Horace Plans
to Erect Another
, Building in Omaha
The Crounse block at Sixteenth street
and Capitol avenue is the latest Six
teenth street property to be torn down
to make room for a larger and more
handsome structure. The property ad
joining It on the east has been pur-
chssed by Sir Horace Plunkett, the Irish
landlord, who always did believe In
Omaha property so strongly that he has
long held Isrge tracts of It and has con
stantly made money on It.
Sir Horace has, given his Omaha agent
Instructions to make arrangements for
tenants for a large new building to be
built on the ground now occupied by
the Crounse block, which he owns, and
n the adjoining lot on the east.

tin and Is one of the many beautiful
home of the northern part of the city.

enters the large living room through a
vestibule, and hers we find to the left
of the entrance a built-in seat and coat
closet. In the center of the south wall a
masalvs fireplace and en tit right an
artlatio stairway, leading to the second
floor. In the rear of the living room Is
a pair of French doors leadlnc to a eoav
little dn. At the right of the entrance

wa have the plate rails and panel strips,

harmonising and show not! only a most
economical handling of space, but are
well adapted to the average family, where
three bed rooms cad a sleeping porch
are sufficient to meet their require
ments.
