NAUGLE IN MIDST OF MEXICO FIGHT (Continued from first page). what high. Meat went up to $3 ai pound and many people suffer from hunger. I shall not endeavor to tell| of the things I have seen. They are horrible. “Peace now reigns over the city and Felix Diaz, the man who won out, is a splendid strong man and every- one expects great things of him. There will be no more trouble here in the city—people are too awe stricken with what has happened. I shall have to buy an entirely new outfit—every- thing—so will Pringle. Briggs saved his belongings” Mr. Naugle promised to write fur- ther details as soon as he could get to a typewriter. SHOWING REAL BOY’S HEART Letter by No Means Brililant Literary Composition, but the Sentiment Was There. From a thirteen-yearold boy in a far-away ocean island comes the fol- lowing belated letter to a woman “pal” of his: “I hope through the year that has began success will fol- low you in all your projects and if you have made any resolutions which you wish to carry out, you will be enabled in so doing. “It the superstition comes true that what you are doing at New Year's you will do all through the year, I certainly will lead a very quiet and temperate life; I was peacefully slum- bering. “I received your letter this morn- Ing, and am glad to hear that you en- joyed the presents. Shall I take the statement that you were surprised that I made the leather articles as a compliment or otherwise? “I am sorry, too, that the suit would not look appropriate on me. I will make the best use of the money you sent, and can enjoy a spring sult as much as the other, if different circum- stances prevailed. “My cold was not 8o bad on .Christ- mas as before, so I was not made mis- erable on a day to be given to joy.” And he was hers truly—and no fool- ishness about it. Yet he is the same boy who can’t eat it her letters don’t reach him on time. Victoria Not a Suffragette. Queen Victoria had neither sym pathy with nor tolerance for the wo mavn's movement, and on one occasion she expressed herself in very direct terms on the subject. “In 1870, G. W. E. Russell writes, “a young matron, who bore a name highly honored fa English history, suddenly became con: spicuous on political plattorms, and the spectacle of her performances produced this remarkable protest: ‘'The queen i3 most anxious to enlist everyone who can speak or write to join in checking this mad, wicked folly cf “women’s rights,” with all its at tendarnt horrors, on which her poor, feebie sex Is bent, forgetting every sense of womanly propriety. Lady —— ought to get a good whipping. It Is a subject that makes the queen sg furfous that she cannot contain her elf. SAVED HIS SON From Constitutional Decline. So many cases like this are com- ing to our attention for the benefit of fathers and mothers of weak, sick- ly, ailing children in this vicinity we publish the fololwing letter:—Mr. Richard Rush of Columbus, Ind., says: “I believe I am indebted to the valuable medicinal properties of Vin- ol for the health of my little son Dale. He had a severe attack of whooping cough and measles, which affected his lungs and general consti- tution. We tried several other reme- dies without benefit, then commenced using Vinol and I take pleasure in ac- knowledging my confidence in its res- torative and reconstructive virtues, for my little son is the picture of health now, all due to the use of Vinol.” This i3 because the child needed the strengthening cod liver elements and the tonic iron that Vinol contains. No. oil, delicious taste. Children love it. We give back your money if Vinol does not do all we claim.—Barker’s Drug Store, Bemidji, Minn.—Adv.

Coleridge’s query to Lamb,“Charles, did you ever hear me preach?” and Elia’s famous answer, “I never heard you do anything else” must have been in the minds of the little company which assembled the other day in the High Street Unitartan church at Shrewsbury, England, for the unveil- ing of a memorial to the poet in com- memoration of the fact that for three Sundays in 1789 he preached there as a candidate for the pastorate. One of his auditors on one of those Sundays was William Hazlitt, who has left on record that the manner of the preach- er was “like an eagle dallying with {the wind.” Whether the regular mem- bers of the congregation were equally | impressed is not on record, but they were not called upon to express their views by voting, for an offer of a pen- sion of a hundred and fifty pounds a year decided Coleridge to withdraw from his eandidature. That go slight an event in the poet’s life has now been commemorated would seem to in- dicate a revival of Interest in his work. If that should prove to be the case, perhaps something will be done to do fit honor to the somewhat squal- 1d surroundings of his tomb at High- gate.—London Malil. Standing on His Rights, The next witness was a hard-fisted, resolute yeoman, with a bristling chin beard. “Mr. Gigon,” sald the attorney for the defense, “are you acquainted with the reputation of this man for truth and veracity in the neighborhood in which he lives?” “I reckon I am,” replied the witness. “I will ask you to state what it 1s.” “Well, sir, his rep'tation fur truth ain’t no good. His rep’tation fur vrassity—well, that's diff'runt. Some 8ays he does, and somé says he don’t.” “Witness,” interposed the judge, “do you know the meaning of ‘veracity? " “I reckon I do.” “What do you understand by the word?” p The witness twirled his hat in his fingers a few moments without an- swering. Then he looked up defiantly. “I refuse to answer that question, Judge,” he said, “on the ground that it might discriminate me.” Queer French Food. The French eat many things which other nations do not care for or eye askance and only partake of sparing- ly. Not the least of these tidbits to the Gallic estimation are small tur- tles, snails and frogs. So popular are all these that they are hawked pub- licly on the streets of Paris, the live frogs being fastened on skewers, in long rows, and the snafls being adver- tised as fresh from the vineyards, their quality being considered then the best. - ./ | | This kind of word | the Atlantic. | T CHANGES WROUGHT BY TIME| EARLY HEARD CALL OF WILD John Mulr, Great: Naturalist, Showed His Bent in the Earliest Years of His Long Life. ‘When I was & boy in Scotland ] was fond of everything that was wild, and all my life I've been growing fonder and fonder of wild places and wild creatures, wrote John Muir in Fortunately around my native town of Dunbar, by the stormy Nort} sea, there was no lack of wild- ness, though most of the land lay in smooth cultivation. With red-blooded playmates, wild as myself, I loved to wander in the flelds to hear the birds sing, and along the seashore to gaze and wonder at the shells and sea- weeds, eels and crabs in the pools among the rocks when the tide was low. And, best of all, in glorious storms to watch the waves thundering on the black headlands and craggy ruing of the old Dunbar castle when the sea and the sky, the waves and the clouds, were mingled together as one. After I was five or six years old [ ran away to the seashore or the felds almost every Saturday, and ev- ery day in the school vacations except Sundays, though solemnly warned that I must play at home in the gar- den and back yard, lest I should learn to think bad thoughts and say bad worlls. All in vain. In spite of the suré sore punishments that followed like’ shadows, the natural inherited wildness in our blood ran true on its glorious course as invincible and un- stoppable as the stars. : QUEER LEGACIES ON RECORD Meant Much In the Old Days, Though They 8eem Pecullar to the People of Today. Ancient bequests for having bells rung and beacons lighted for the pur- pose of guiding travelers by night are quite numerous, which is hardly to be wondered at when one considers the apologies for roads and the absence ot tences in the “good old days.” A plot of land, rejoicing in the name of “Petticoat Hole,” is held at Stock- ton-on-the-Forest, in Yorkshire, Eng- land, on condition of providing a poor woman of the place with a new petti- coat once a year. In the old days, when rushes were strewn on the floor in lieu of carpets, many persons left bequests of money /and land for providing rushes for the floors of churches. Their use, of course, has long been discontinued, but in certain places the church war- dens attend to the preservation of their rights by cutting a little grass each year and strewing it on the church floor. There may have been seen on the benefaction table at Deptford church & record to the effect that “a person unknown gave half a quarter of wheat, to be given in bread on Good Friday, and half a load of rushes at Whitsun- tide, and a load of peastraw at Christ- ‘mas yearly, for the use of the church.” Influence of the Spirit. You may talk about education, and science, and philosophy, and skill, and knowledge generally, but they all lack their full-truth unless they are super- vised by the spirit, by the faith, by the aspiration. The beginning of all things was the spirit, and the end of all things will be the spirit, and the mat- ter between loses its high significance and its relation to either if it becomes simply a hard, earthly fact. All prog- ress, social or individual, depends upon the recognition of the divine in every fact and deed. It wouldn’t take ten years to bring a millennium if this doctrine was practiced. We are now confronting great soclal and political problems; their solution would be easy it faith, love, justice, honor and the other forms of spiritual force were given full play. But they are not. The opposite seems to have the right of way. Every man who has any hope of bettering ‘his fellows will -have to drop his envy, his spite, his -ill will, his hatred and come square on a spir itual footing or his struggle will be in vain—Ohio State Journal. - Only Slight Difference. The young girl graduate ‘was con- versing with a minister who was call ing on the family. “After all, Dr. Crowford,” she said, “there’s only a difference of a single syllable between salvation and perdi- tion.” 3 “Why, Marion,” interrupted her ‘mother, “how can you say that?” The minister looked at her ques tioningly. “It's merely a question of. eternal bliss or eternal blisters,” she replied, looking past the reverend gentlemas. i surprised to learn that the practice |1s continued at Lincoln’s Inn. manded and for & Nable to be THINKS LIWES Sclentist’s Idea of the Structure of the Monuments of Cheops and Chephren.’ About all writers on the Pyramids agree. that the stone used was lime- stone. Some believe that the Pyramid of Cheops and also the other Pyra mids had smooth sloping sides. Some believe that the outer coating was of granite. Some do not name granite, but speak of the triangular piec necessary as being polished stone. As to the last, no stone except granite will retain its polish for more than a tew years,‘a fact that would seem to argue that the material which formed the outer coating was of granite. But [ found not even a chip of granite on or around the Pyramid of Cheops. The Pyramid of Chephren, second In size to that of Cheops, has from its apex down for about fifty feet four clearly defined corners. Below that the sides appear much the same as the sides of Cheops—stepped. Viewed through fleld 'glasses the material of the outer coating of the upper part does not look like granite, nor is any polish to be seen. So my belief is that if the Pyramid of Cheops had ever had smooth sides the triangular blocks forming the outer surface were of limestone. No granite, 8o far as I have seen, has been used in the construction of any building in Cairo, the only city within a hundred miles of the Pyra- mids. The limestone of Mokattam was more easily worked than granite and nearer Cairo than the Pyramids, the transportation shorter and no fer riage across the Nile. “Triangular granite blocks are never used in build- ing construction, except in'some spe- cial way, usually for ornament and above ground, where they could be seen.—New York Sun. WORLD OF BREAKING WATERS Captain of Wrecked British Barque Gives Vivid Description of Storm and Shipwreck. A vivid description of hurricane and_ shipwreck was given by the cap- tain of the 4masted barque Torris dale, in a report to the Liverpool (Eng.) owners on the loss of the ves- sel off British Columbia. After de- scribing how a squall struck the ship, he writes: '~ “What follows 1s like a fearful dream. Roaring hills of white foam flinging us upwards, then down, and at about 8 a. m. the vessel struck aft and flew to pieces. The rudder was gone, then another upward swoop and again the sickening thud of the keel on the shoals, and the foretop gallant mast fell over the side. We had now fired all our rockets away, and burn. ed the flareups without seeing any an- swering signal anywhere. “All round was a mad fury of bro- ken water roaring and crashing at and about us, but very little breaking over our decks. Then came a time of fall- ing masts and clinging sailors, all be. ing now on the poop to keep clear of falling spars. The moon suddenly showed out with great clearness, and we saw a grand but fearful world of breaking waters around us.” The vessel drifted into shallow wa- ter after a terrific pounding and heel- ed over. The crew crawled on to the port side and at daybreak made sig nals to a horseman galloping along the beach. Help was forthcoming, and the crew were taken off by life- boat. Down the Scale. A certain bride is very much in love with her husband and very willing te admit it. She likes to sound hds praises to her mother and to her girl friends. She has a number of original expressions. When her husband 18 good she says he is “chocolate cake, three layers deep.” When he is very good he is “chocolate cake, four layers deep,” and 86 on up the scale. Occa: sionally, however, things take a turn. The bride’s mother dropped in the other day. The bride was a trifle peevish, but her mother pretended not to notice this. “And how was John today?” wat her inguiry. “Chocolate, four layers deep?” . i “No.” “Three layers deep?™ “Nor This with a pout. “Then what is he?” “Dog biseuit!”"—National Monthly. Really Worth Thinking Over. The advance agent for a theatrical company whose title wild horses could not drag from us, came up tu the office the other day with an im- portant news item. ‘Miss Kicquer's jewels—" he be gan. “Pardon me!” interrupted our dre matic editor. “That stuff must be taken to the business office and set- tled for at $10 a line.” > “Listen! This ain’t no bunk about the diamonds being swiped. This is a real story. When we was showin’ over in Elyria the gas went back on us. An’ our leadin’ woman lent us her sparklers to use as footlights. The show went better than usual. Naw, I wouldn’t: pull any old stuff on you. But this goes, don’t 1t?” The editor promised to think it over.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. She Sald “Parcel” After That.
