The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1-It aims to publish all the news possible. 2-It does so impartially, wasting no words. 3-Its correspondents are able and energetic. VOL. 29. NO. 5. ON THE BORN INDIAN GIRL - NEW MEXICO HETHER considered from the viewpoint of the sightseeer, the artist, the lover of romance or the student of southwestern history, there are few more interesting towns in America than Taos, in northern New Mexico. This is really a three-ply town. Oldest of all, and most picturesque, is Pueblo de Taos, inhabited by some 400 dignified locals both of age and interest is Pernandez de Taos, a quaint old Mexican settlement, with a venerable history, dating back to the beginning of the seventeenth century. Last of all is Ranches de Taos, a prosperous agricultural community, where one's interest is equally divided between the typical old Mission church and the numerous dark-eyed senoritas. Years ago the Taos valley was known as the granada to the southwest; and in the days before bull team rode this was an important mart and distributing point, when the railroads were built the change in the route of travel and commerce left Taos hopelessly isolated. Progress has passed it by, and life moves on in the grandeur of the old land of Poco Templo, that this hustling age has almost obliterated. The old landmarks are still undisturbed, the vandal passion for change and improvement is still unknown, and the Taos of today is much the same as the Taos of 50 or 100 years ago, with the element of danger from nomadic savages eliminated. But those who desire to see Taos as it is and as it has been must needs make it hate. The railroad builders are headed that way; the shriek of the first locomotive displels the ghost of the past, and awakens the valley from its age-long slumber, it may be far more bustling and prosperous, but it will never again be half as interesting. Taos was the farthest outpost of Spanish civilization, and continued until in very recent years to be a frontier settlement, on the debatable border between civilization and the savage wilderness. The old Pueblo communal buildings are famous as being the most perfect remaining specimens of aboriginal American architecture. Close by is the tall tower of the ruined adobe church, in which the last stand of the Pueblo Indian race for freedom was made in 1847. A few miles away is one of the most puzzling archaeological riddles of the southwest. This consists of long, lines of cobblestones, mostly arranged in rectangles, with here and here a circle. When one first reaches the area that distinguished he will hardly recognize anything unusual; but after he has driven for miles and circles in cobblestone squares, oblongs and circles in unbroken series, it begins to dawn upon him that there is something remarkable. It is evident that these cobblestones were the foundation stones of adobe buildings, and that the lapse of ages has sustained in the wearing away of the sun-dried bricks, until the ancient walls of some prehistoric city have been incorporated with the soil of the level plain, leaving not a trace behind, but the rounded stones brought from the distant river. The prehistoric stones of this prehistoric and unnamed city once an area of more than twenty-five square miles. The pueblo of Taos has existed upon its present site for at least 500 years. Yet the Taos Indians have no legend purporting to account for this ancient community. It is said that the first white settler in the beautiful Taos valley, was a Spaniard, named Fernandez, who drifted north from Santa Fe two hundred years or more ago, and built for himself an adobe hut in a bunch of cottonwoods, three miles from the Indian village. Hence he was called "Fernandez de Taos," or Fernandez of the Cottonwoods, and by and by the name was applied to the locality, as well as to the man. Before long other squatters began to follow his settling in the same neighborhood. The land belonged to the Indians, but they were quite willing to peace the liberal allowance to all white comers. In this way displayed a craft curiously analogous to modern European statesmanship, which seeks to prevent a clash between two rival powers by the creation of a "buffer state" to keep them apart. The Taos Indians had suffered for centuries from the incursions of the Apaches. They strenuously reasoned that by creating a fringe of Spanish ranchers along the borders of their own cultivated lands, they would shift the burden of defense from their own shoulders to those of the newcomers. She scheme really worked very well; and white settlers in the Taos valley carried their guns with them to their grain fields less than a third of a century ago in order to be prepared to defend themselves against a sudden attack on the Apaches, while the craft inhabitants of Taos tiled their fields in comparative security and peace of mind. In case of attack by a large war party the Taos Indians made common cause with the white settlers, so that the proximity of the community was not without its advantage. Owing to the abundance of fur-bearing animals and other wild game in the adjacent mountains, the fertility of the soil, the convenience of the place as a general distributing point and the fact that it was situated on one of the laterals of the Mae Fe trail, Tas became the home, or at least the rendezvous, of the soldiers of fortune who made a southwest the theater of their exploits. Kit Carson did Jesus Abreu, Charles Maxwell, Charles Bent Corson, Train, Charles Beaulen and many other makers of history once made this little villa their home, that it is crowded with memorials of heroic days. Within a stone's throw the plaza is the house in which Kit Carson lived, now prostituted to the base uses of a hay and feed warehouse. Less than a quarter of a mile distant is the grave in the Apaches. Close to this is the red seal of the Apaches—the graves of thirty American soldiers, with a lacuna description recording the fact that they were marched by Apaches, in the Embudo canyon, March 3, 1854. W ON THE MEXICAN BORDER THE APPEAL. ADOBE HOUSES IN NEW MEXICO O. R. VOUCHER. OLD HOUSES IN PUEBLO Of the notable characters still living in Taiz, the best known is Capt. Smith A. Simpson, a former Indian fighter, scout and companion of Mr. Carson. Aloys Scheirch, another old friend of Carson, died two or three years ago. The first house in Scheirch was the headquarters General Sibley during brief period of Confederate occupation. Next by is the adobe house, which occurred the Taos massacre of Charleston, the first American governor of New Mexico, was assassinated. In the cemetery also may be seen the grave of Patron Jose Minez, and in the outskirts of the town are the crumbling ruins of the church in which he ministered. In many respects he was the most remarkable man identified with the history of the southwest. By some, it is asserted that he was the real ringleader of the revolutionary outburst in 1847 that resulted in the Taos massacre. If this be true he was crafty enough to cover his tracks so skillfully that, although sixteen of his fellow-conspirators were hanged, he not on escaped with an unstretched neck, but became delegate to the first constitutional convention presided of the first territorial assembly, and a director of his district until the day he died. July 27, 1867. More remarkable than his political history is his record as a prizefighter the war of church by taking not merely one but three wives he was excused and deposed, but bade himself to the pope and the hierarchy, erected an independent church of his own, and carried practically whole congregation with him. That Padre Minez had grave faults, none can gainst; but his uniform kindness and benevolence to the pope caused him to be loved and trusted as few others have ever been. That he was a man of liberal and enlightened opinions is proven by the PIRATE "Won't you tell us a sailor's yarn?" asked the new boarder of the bos'n.

Simpson, a former Indian fighter, scout and companion of Kitt Carson. Aloys Scheirch, another old friend of Carson's, died two or three years ago. The former home of Scheirch was the headquarters of Confederate occupation during the brief period of Confederate occupation when it is the adobe house in which occurred the Taos massacre, then Charles Bent, the first American governor of Ico, was assassinated. In the cemetery also may be seen the grave of Padre Antonio Jose Martinez, and in the outskirts of the town are the crumbling ruins of the church in which he ministered. In many respects he was the most remarkable man identified with the history of the southwest. By some, it is asserted that he was the real ringleader of the revolutionary outbreak in which resulted in the Taos massacre. If this man was crafty enough to cover his tracks so skillfully, that although sixteen of his fellow-conspirators were not only escaped with an unstretched neck, but delegate to the first constitutional convention, president of the first territorial assembly, and political dictator of his district until the day of his death, July 27, 1867. More remarkable than his political career was his record as a priest. Disregarding the rules of the church by taking not merely one but three wives, he was excommunicated and deposed, but bade defiance to the hope and the hierarchy, erected an independent whole concurring with him. That Padre Martinez had grave faults, his galaxy; but his uniform kindness and benevolence caused him to be loved and trusted as few others have ever been. That he was a man of liberal and enlightened opinions is proven by the PIRATE BOLD "Won't you tell us a sailor's yarn?" asked the new boarder of the bos'n. The bos'n took a big drink of water and began: "When I was a pirat—" "A pirate!" gasped the new boarder. "Yes, I used to be a pirat. It isn't generally known, but I was. I sailed the Sorry Sue as a pirat." "How did you come to give it up?" "That's just what I was getting ready to tell you. I come to give up piratin."

I told them they were a bunch of tiddleinkers and tennis players. I got them so excited that they were greedy to tackle a fleet of warships if necessary, just to show me they were game. I figured out that they would scuttle the next ship in good shape. "We didn't have long to wait for a ship to scuttle. It was a dark, foggy night. The boys were sleepy up below. I was able to lash our ship along the other craft that we were to scuttle without anybody else knowing anything about it. "When I got the ships lashed together good and tight I went below and roused the boys. We climbed aboard our prize and opened the door that led down into the cabin of the ship.

I'm glad said the m sufficiently cooled to permit us to admit that the conspirators were not greatly to be blamed for cherishing the desire to restore the authority of Mexico, for they loved the country of their birth, and believed that they had been treacherously betrayed by General Armijo. That the leaders of the movement contemplated or approved of the ruthless massacre of Americans is improbable, and their stake was that they unchained the mob, and then bound themselves powerless to direct or control it. In the Texas massacre sixteen or seventeen Americans were slain, including Governor Charles Bent. As soon as word of the massacre reached Santa Fe Colonel Price was sent with troops to quell the disturbance. The Indians had been induced to join the rebels, and the only important fight occurred at Pueblo de Taos. It was not so much a fight as a slaughter. The Indians retired into the great adobe church, on whose solid walls the balls of Price's six-pound howitzers did as little damage as if they had been paper made in the walls of the church, and through their boxes of the howitzers were thrust, loaded with the wooden rafters and timbers of the church caught fire. That was too much for even Indian fortitude. They burst open the doors and fled to the mountains. Before they reached a place of safety they were by Colonel Ceran St. Vrain, with his band of mountaineers, who administered further punishment. After the battle more than 200 Indians were buried among the ruins of the church. To this day the army that adorned the bodies of the slain redakins may be picked from the numerous anthills that are now found within the ancient enclosure. "I had no more'n opened the door than the doggondest noise I ever heard came out of there! The boys turned pale and shivered. I tried to shut the door till their wits came back, but wasn't quick enough. Every one of the boys made a break for our own ship and when they saw that we were lashed tight to that diabolical craft so we couldn't get away, they ran and jumped into the sea! "It was a terrible sound that had frightened them. I was something of a society man and I heard the same noise before, and wasn't as frightened as the others. Still, it made my blood run cold, all right. But there was nothing to do. All my men had crowned themselves, and if I had had any men I would have done the same. They found rest in the bosom of the peaceful ocean, while I——" "But what was that noise?" asked the new boarder. "Lady," said the bosn', "it was a woman's club going on. It was a woman's meeting under full sall! There was a million different sounds mixed up in it! My, it was awful!" "A woman's club meeting out there?" "It was a woman's ship. I was the only man on it. I ever lived through it is more than I know! One of the women married me, and all the rest were jealous and there was a lot of trouble. I offered to walk the plank and I tried to jump overboard, but all the women started to cry every time I mentioned such a thing.

"I'm glad there's something you can't tell," said the new boarder. fact that he erected the first printing press in the southwest, and published at Taos the first newspaper ever printed in New Mexico. This newspaper, called *Graulica*, meaning "The Dawn," the first issue bearing date of November 29, 1835. The most dramatic episode in the history of Taos was the insurrection of 1847, its attendant massacre, and the retaliation, which ended upon the participants. The passions of that day have CREMATEDLIVE DOGS Cuban Youth, Who Protested Against Inhuman Act, Is Shot. Members of the Band of Mercy Upon Hearing of the Boy's Heroic Act Reward Him With a Prize of Fifty Dollars. Havana, Cuba—Members of the Band of Mercy, an organization which looks after the welfare of animals and whose splendid work was reviewed in detail by a New York correspondent several weeks ago, are rejoicing over the recovery of Nicolas Ruo Lopez, a poor Spanish boy, who shot and seriously injured when he was running down a road when he was burning dogs alive to rid his fleas. For a long time his life was despaired of, but under the treatment of skilled physicians he is mending rapidly and will be discharged from the hospital in a short time. In recognition of his meritorious deed, the women's branch of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, of Philadelphia, has presented a prize of $10, the money having been given to the four quarters of the Band of Mercy in this city. A committee from the organization, consisting of Mrs. Suarez, Mrs. Warner, Mrs. Ryder and Mr. Francisco Martinez, waited on young Lopez at the hospital and gave him the money. News of his good fortune has spread through the city and vicinity, and the organization believes that it encourages owners of animals and teamsters to treat their charges with more consideration than they have in the past. When the kind hearted American women, here on a visit a few years ago, advocated better treatment for animals in this city, young Lopez already had an established reputation among his friends for his kindness to animals. The organization of the Band of Mercy was the outcome of the humane doctrine preached by the visitors from the United States, and since its formation young Lopez has been active in the work. The injury which came very near causing his death was received last summer. During the bubonic plague scare early in the hot season the board of health was of the opinion that a menace to health lurked in the coats of pet animals, the idea being that focus helped to spread disease. Owners of Nicolas Ruso Loper and Nurse. animals were advised to destroy their pets, and the manner in which the animals should be put to death was discussed at great length. One man, Carlos de Lores, conceived the idea of burning the dogs alive to remove the manatee. He was putting his idea into practice when young Lopez happened on the scene. He warned Lores to stop the cruel practice under penalty of exposing him to the Band of Mercy. Inferiorated at the interference, Lores seized a revolver and shot Lopez, the bullet entering the boy's left lung and lodging in the muscles of the right shoulder. The injured youth was rushed to the hospital and lingered between life and death for weeks. FINGER REPLACES MAN'S NOSE New York—Doctors at the Academy of Medicine have agreed that in a crowd a finger can pass for a nose without detection. A man on whom the experiment was tried of grafting a nose left hand on to the place where his nose had been declared himself as pretty well satisfied with the substitute. The new member has been constantly massaged recently until it is assuming a true nasal shape, but it cannot be bored through to let breath in. As now grown there is no trace of the nose where the specimens are speculating as to whether the rigidity of one growing at the tip of the finger-made nose has been avoided.

NOVEL USE FOR AN ANT-HEAP surveyors in the Congo Convert Hill Built by a Look- Out Station. Cape Town, Africa—Among the most destructive of African insects are the white ants, which, although well under an inch in length, do untwinkle damage even in a single night. Nothing is safe from attack, with the exception of iron and steel, though curiously enough the ants devour only that portion of an object which is not exposed to the air. They will eat away the soles of boots, leaving the uppers standing in their place. In some parts, particularly in the Congo, the ant-heaps convert an otherwise flat country into a hilly one. Beautiful ferns and tropical flowers cover these ant-heaps. That they can Ant-Heap Converted Into a Lookout Station. also be turned to practical account is shown by the fact that some surveyors in the Congo have converted one into a look-out station. SEEKS NEVER ENDING LIFE Dr. Alexis Carrel Hopes to Graft New Nerves and Organs Into Dead Animal Tissues. New York—An attempt to translate death into life is shortly to be made at the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research in New York, according to statement made by Dr. Alexis Carrel of that institution, who is in Paris, on his way to America. "I am about to endeavor," he said, "to graft and transplant nerves and organs connected with the nervous system. In this connection it is suggested to me by Professor De Bove that such experiments will strike greatly the public imagination. I have already established the possibility of keeping alive life germs in certain liquids. Question now raised by Professor De Bove as to whether these 'preserved' germs are capable of fertilization and the reproduction of species." The experiments, which are to be on animals, will begin as soon as Doctor Carrel reaches New York. If they succeed along the line suggested by M. De Bove science will have attained an age-long dream of bridging death with a chain of never-ending life. Doctor Carrel had gone to Paris from Stockholm, where he experimented in company with a Swedish scientist. He has with him cinematograph picture living issues separated from their experiments from these pictures and the experiments they illustrate that he argues that nerve transplantation is possible. WILSON SMOKED ONLY ONCE Admita It Hit Him With Diaaustre Effectus It Hit Never Titled It Agreed Trenton, N. J. "The arrival of a gold-mounted, arm-embedded meerschaum pipe at the statehouse from one of Wilson's Princeton friends in Vicksburg, Miss., brought from the president-elect the confession that once in his life, and only once, did he smoke. "Was this way," he said. "My father was a smoker of some attainments, and had got to the stage where he liked a fat, black cigar. In his leisure hours, my mother took advantage of his habit and employed him to blow the pungent smoke over her rosebushes to kill insects. "One day when he was not at home, she suggested that I try it on one of her favorite plants, and I obliged, somewhat proudly. For five minutes, I steamed away like a furnace, and then it hit me with disastrous effects; I wanted to quit. "And you never had any ambition to learn smoking?" was suggested. "No," he replied. "You see, I never was forbidden to, so there wouldn't have been any point to it." Thug Wears a Skirt. White Plains, N.

IN RUSSIA'S CAPITAL Streets of St. Petersburg Are a Semi-Oriental Sight. Houses Like Huge Human Hives—No Crowds Permitted to Congregate and Newbies Are Prohibited From Calling Their Wares. St. Petersburg—As one moves about the streets, he is struck most of all by the wasteful use of space. It is at once apparent that Petersburg never slowly evolved from embryonic beginnings. But it would be unwise to proceed further, because Petersburg's streets without noticing the fact that she has two kinds of streets, namely, the Newsky Prospect and others. An ordinary "ooolitza" or street except late in the afternoon (when Petersburg wakes up!), is a semi-Oriental sight. Save on court holidays, when each house is required to hang out the national flag, there is no color in the streets, the houses are dun colored and monotonously no nails, no small homes, no large ones, just huge human hives with courts in the rears, and icons constantly lit by tiny oil lamps in the front. There is little noise. No crowds gather; the newbies are not allowed to call their wares; bands, hand organs or street vendors sellom disturb this solemn city of the north. Even the tram cars creep by noiselessly; they are "curve-squale" and alarmed, Ah, but how different, kaleidoscopic Nevsky Prospect! It is the Fifth avenue, the Unter den Linden, the Regent street of Russia's capital. Less than three miles long, it is yet one of the world's really unique highways. There is nothing like it elsewhere. Some visitors come and go; others stay; but foreigners never seem to weary of gazing upon this peculiarly arched, marvelously cosmopolitan street. The pavement between the two low banks of glittering stores, flows a molley stream of traffic. Here the ends of the earth seem to meet. Everybody from everywhere rushes hither and thither. Red French automobiles, their horns singing tuneful, metallic ditties, swerve and dodge about ragged peasants bearing burdens with wooden shoulder yokes or driving appointed enoplipage made carts. Royally appointed enoplipage made plumes and golden braid, prance sedately by, while continually up one side and down the other ours a Palace Drawing Room of the Empress at St. Petersburg. steady torrent of cabs. Perhaps a funeral is creeping by (people die much in Petersburg); the golden, traveled casket in the shabby, book-like curtains brilliantly on the sunlight, and peasants stride proudly by it as though they are escorting a prize pumpkin to market. Inexhaustible is the fascination of this animated thoroughfare. And the people! How varied and gay are the colors! How dazzling are the uniforms, the Parisian gowns, the flashing of trailing swords! Soldiers cap-a-pile seem to make up half the parading multitude. They meet, halt, salute and pass on. On the Nevsky Prospect there is time for everything. There are Frenchmen, Germanmen, Dutchmen. The women are beautiful. Every true male Russian presents a study in whiskers. It is the land of the great unshaved. There is a pleasant sweeping the street with a witch broom of twigs—a tattered edition of Tolstoi himself! Before the street icons the faithful halt, bow, cross themselves and murmur a phrase of a prayer. What a human melange! Here the nations of Europe pass in review. That a pot-bourr of ingenuous, victorious traditions and industrial boles and mixes and disappears into a thin, black rivulet far down at the further end of Russia's one fascinating, nervous highways, the Newsky Prospect!

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1912 Mrs. Charles Henrotin, prominent clubwoman and wife of the Turkish consul, speaking before the Chicago High School Teachers' Club a few days ago, gave the men of this country a body blow, when she said: "There has been a distressing deterioration in the men of this country in the last fifty years. Fifty years ago men were better educated, knew more literature, were better conversationalists and had better manners. This statement can be verified any day or night if one will only take the trouble to look around among the so-called "upper ten" from which the "lower five" are supposed to learn how to deport themselves." Some wiseacre started the report that the four Afro-American regiments were to be eliminated from the United States Army, but the report is denied by Secretary of War Stimson, who says that they were established by law and could not be eliminated without action of Congress. Continuing Secretary Stimson said: "They have performed creditable and even distinguished service and I have no intention whatever of entertaining the proposition of removing them from the United States Army." Lots of folks claim, and believe, that there is no such thing as luck. Well, what can you call this: A man from London was visiting Monte Carlo; he was about to start for home, but missed his train. He went back to the Casino and won $25,000, and caught the next train. Now, if that is not what they call "stud horse" luck, what is it? On his inauguration day as governor of South Carolina, Cole L. Blease was attacked in a message read before the legislature of that state. That's something like the pot calling the kettle black. As a result of strong protests by Jewish citizens the Immigration bill has been modified in Congress. It pays to protest. In the PUBLIC EYE WOULD EDUCATE MAN BEHIND THE PLOW tion in each state. Upon them the government is now spending about $4,000,000 annually. Much of this money and of the $15,000,000 appropriated each year for the exclusively agricultural work of the department of agriculture, he stated, is spent in investigating and experimenting to show how the best and greatest crops can be raised. "There are students at those collegee who are obtaining much aid from the instruction which they receive, but there is no sufficient provision to carry the farmers at their homes the valuable information which has been and will be obtained by the work of the colleges and experiment stations," continued the senator. "According to the plans of the bill," he continued, "the representatives of the colleges in the various states will collect farmers who, under the direction of the representatives of the Agricultural college, will test the value on their own land of the information brought by the representative of the college." J. H. HAMMOND WOULD PACIFY YAQUIS J. H. HAMMOND WOULD PACIFY YAQUIS wishes to pacify the Yaquis and his plan for accomplishing that object. In this letter he explained that as manager of mines near Alamos, Sorona, in 1882 and 1883, he had-many Yaquis working for him, that they were the best workmen he had ever had and that he held them in high regard. He wrote the ambassador of his conviction that he could render important assistance to the government in settling all disagreements and all grudges held by the Yaquis. The Yaquis maintain in their stronghold at this time, in addition to their warriors, a force of 1,500 men armed with modern rifles. They are absolutely impregnated. That tried to bring them into submission, but failed. As soon as the warriors were carried out, they will carry out the promises of fair treatment which he will make to the Yaquis in his own behalf and on behalf of the Mexican government, Hammond will go to his property in Sonora and have natives communicate to the Yaqui chiefs that he would like to confer with them.

The annual value of our agricultural products is in round figures, $9,000,000,000. Senator Smith said, "If the increase result of this work were only 20 per cent, we have an increased value of $1,000,000, or a sufficient sum to meet the proposed appropriation for 600 years." Senator Smith pointed to the passage of the Morrill bill for the establishment of land grant agricultural colleges in each of the states of the Union, and of the Hatch bill for the establishment of an experiment sta tion in each state.

MISS BOARDMAN LA Miss Mabel T. Boardman, secretary of the American Red Cross association, has sent a message to the 400,000 Boy Scouts of America. She relocates in the good deeds that the Boy Scouts are doing. She compares them with the knights of King Arthur of old. "The Vision of King Arthur" is the title of Miss Boardman's article in Boys' Life, the Boy Scouts magazine. Miss Boardman pictures the dying King Arthur, and says: "Something held his clear blue eyes—not glittering armor nor helmet with its visor down—only a boy in simple brown, who stopped to lift a little fallen child. And there! Another gulded a blind man through the dangers of the nose, street, and another, with yellow eyes, and another, with soothed some poor, bewildered dog his master lost.

The government of Mexico has fought the Yaquis for thirty years, but today the Yaquis are unconquered. Mr. Hammond expects that the Madero government will give him the permission which he desires. His program is based on his belief that, as a result of his life and work in Mexico, many years ago, the understanding between him and the Yaquis has been restored to oblige the rest of his being injured or killed. Major Burnham, the famous American and South African scout and fighter, will accompany him. Last July Mr. Hammond wrote to Senior Calero, the Mexican ambassador to this country, outlining his plan for accomplishing that object.

Jusserand, wife of the French ambassador, and new doyen of the diplomatic corps at Washington, has deceived the abolition of the diplomatic "free lunch outse," which is the undiplomatic designation of that indiscriminate and unconcerned list of hostesses from whom the attaches of embassies and legations have been wont to accept luncheon. dinner and dance invitations. Henceforth there will be a rigid adherence to diplomatic and social lines by the young diplomats who have entered too much into the spirit of our democratic institutions and gone to those entertainments where he spirit of conviviality led them. The gossip in diplomatic circles is that there has been not only a weakening of discipline, but that the young bachelor set, not provided with the large expense account of the heads of legations, have found in the beautiful hospitality of Washington means be out their meager incomes by savingels and restaurants for food and cheer. NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS Uncle Sam's Aero Boat Experiments Are Watched WASHINGTON.—Foreign governments have had their military and naval representatives in Washington watching the experiment that this government has been conducting at the Washington navy yard with the new catapult device for launching aerplanes. The launching machine is the design of Capt. W. I. Chambers, in charge of aviation in the navy. It practically is a compressed air gun that shoots the aeroplane into the air so that it can be launched from a warship at any time and the catapult then stored below, out of the way. Several tests of the device have been made, various hydro-aeroplanes being used. What was generally considered the supreme test was made the other day when the new aerobat that has been built for the navy by Glenn Curtiss was shot into the air for a successful flight with Leight. The first of the navy aviators at the helm. The new boat is larger and heavier than any other hydro-aeroplanes the government has used. It has a body like a light, fast powerboat, and seats two passengers side by side, with a double-control mechanism, so that either man can act as aviator. The boat is driven by an eighty-horse power motor, and is capable of a speed of fifty miles on the water and a speed of 100 miles on the water. This launching device is the first that has been practical and successful from a navy standpoint. It was prov- Postmen Cannot Loiter When Mike Is on Duty Postmen Cannot Loiter When Mike Is on Duty CHARLES B. MATTHEWS, superintendent of carriers in the Washington postoffice, and the man who originated what is known as the "block" system of mail delivery, a system that has been copied all over the country, said today: "One of the most intelligent and faithful assistants I have is Mike. Mike is a very humble sort of somebody, so humble, in fact, that he even hasn't any other name. "Mike is just an old white horse, sound of body, clean of limb and brighter in his intelligence than many human beings that have been sent to marshal." "He has spent about seven of his twenty-four years helping deliver the mail to the local hotels. He knows his route as well as any man who has ever served it. And, better still, he knows just how long it ought to take, the carrier to deliver the mail for a given hotel!" "You can't fool him. When the hour for starting on his route comes and Ernest Miller, the carrier who owns him, in full uniform, gets in his seat. Mike looks first up and then down the street to see if his road is clear, being particularly careful to watch a car longer to see if an electric car is about to start on its way to Alexandria. "Once started, he takes in each ho Whites on Reservations Are as Dry as Poor Lo WHITE MEN ARE FORGOROUS TO HAVE LIQUOR ON THIS RESERVATION WHITE men are not to be allowed to have "booze" while the Indian goes dry on Indian reservations. There is not to be one law for the red man and another for the white brother where they dwell together on the Indian's lands, the Indian bureau chief declares. The white man can have reader access to the red ink that is really a writing fluid and which has proved palatable and exhilarating, according to the records, to those who need al-ready examined and find other sources dried up. And he may slake his acquired thirst from the mucilage --- Much Interest Being Shown in Muskrat Farming CCORDING to the annual report of the biological survey recently submitted to Secretary Wilson, the rearing of fur-bearing animals in the United States for their pelts continues to be a subject of much interest. Skunks, muskrat, minks and foxes are reared in captivity or on preserves under control procedures. The large prices asked for mature black foxes for breeding purposes have resulted in confining the industry in the hands of a very few. Comparatively few attempts have been made to raise minks in the United States, but experiments are being conducted in co-operation with the National Zooological park with successful methods of rearing these animals. Muskrat farming has probably reached its highest point of development on the eastern shore of Maryland. Muskrat marshes are worth more, measured by their actual income, than cultivated farms of like acreage in the same vicinity. Only one other animal in the world, the European rabbit, exceeds the muskrat in the number of skins marketed. The report also calls attention to the experiments for the extermination of prairie dogs, ground squirrels and ophers that are being conducted by means of poison baits, traps and other methods. It is a surprising fact that the daily forage of 32 adult prairie dogs equal that required for a sheep, and that 250 eat nearly as much as a cow. Men who complain that women are not natural seldom lose their hearts to those who are. ed more than a year ago, when Eugenie Rly flew from the scoutship Birmingham and afterward flew and alighted on the battleship Pennsylvania, that the aeroplane could be launched at sea. In both these cases, however, a special platform was built and extensive preparations were made for the flight. The new catapult can be clamped to the top of a turret and the turret revolved to shoot the aeroplane into the teeth of the wind without even touching the wheel of the vessel. The device, which half an hour to erect, and can be taken down and stored below, in less time. Lieutenant Ellison has been the acrobatic aviator of the navy. He has been willing to try anything, and allowed himself to be shot from the catapult the first time it was used, when it was not known what effect the sudden shock would have on either the aeroplane or the aviator. He has been anxious to develop some practical form of aeroplane launching that could be used on a warship, and some months ago flew an aeroplane at Hammondport off a steel cable which was stretched for an inclined launching way. Spotted fever ticks in the two younger stages live almost wholly upon small native rodents, and the California ground squirrel has been infected with bubonic plague by fleas that attack them during that diseases may become epidemic furnishes an additional important reason for the destruction of the animals. The bureau reports that the antelope is in greater danger of extermination than any other kind of American big game, that there is great need for a suitable preserve in the antelope country, and that the buffalo on the national reserve range have now increased to 11 million, the original number, three years ago. I'll move on if he staks much longer. tel in its turn. He will not permit the carrier who goes with him to stop on his way or loiter. If he tries to do so Mike simply walks on. So when he arrives at the hotel he allows time for the carrier to take the mail in and send it and if he does not come back within that time Mike simply moves on to his next stop. "Why, I can send the greenest sub in the office out with Mike and he won't go astray, if he knows how to read the labels on the mail sacks. "He is never stick and has never lost an hour's time. When we are ready for him in the morning it takes him a long time to get on his job. He never stands a sleepy way like some horses. His eyes are always wide open and he seems to be always on the alert, but there is a conservatism and a dignity about him that makes me feel proud as a member of our delivery force." bottle with greater facility perhaps. These and other devices have been known to the Indian while seeking ease for a parched throat. But the white man on an Indian reservation from now on may not have whiskey, but a beverage, either, for refreshment or his lilies or as a precaution against aliments, even on a physician's prescription, as long as the ban is on the Indian. The only intoxicant not under prohibition remains the wine intended solely for sacramental purposes, to be brought into the reservations under the Indian laws. Circular No. 685, Indian bureau, signed by Acting Commissioner F. H. Abbott and indored by the acting secretary of the interior, addressed to the superintendents of Indian schools and agencies, directs observance of the law in strict conformity with its letter. It also calls attention to irritation in observance of the law that have come to the attention of the bureau. THIS MUSK-RAT FARMING SURE BEATS THE OTHER KIND acreage in the same vicinity. Only one other animal in the world, the European rabbit, exceeds the muskrat in the number of skins marketed. The report also calls attention to the experiments for the extermination of prairie dogs, ground squirrels and gophers that are being conducted by means of poison bait, traps and other methods. It is surprising feet that the daily forage of 32 adult prairie dogs equal that required for a sheep, and that 250 eat nearly as much as a cow. Silly women complain that they are not understood. Woe would be theirs if they were. COLLEGES AND SCHOOLS Knowles Building. Boys' Hall.

Sir: Although the newspapers from time to time have published information with reference to the parcel post system, in operation since January 1, 1913, it is evident that many people do not understand the essential points with reference thereto, and therefore I respectfully request that you publish for the information of your readers, that: 1. Distinctive parcel post stamps must be used on all fourth-class matter, that such matter bearing ordinary stamps will be treated as "held for postage," for postage." 2. That parcels will be mailable only to the post office, the branch post offices, all mail-ordered nations are designated by the postmaster, or presented to rural or other carriers duly authorized to receive such matter; that 3. All parcels must bear the return card of the sender, otherwise they will not be accepted for mailing. 4. It will also be understood that parcel post stamps are not valid for payment of postage on matter of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd class, nor can any of said classes be accepted at the parcel post rate of postage. 5. Registration of parcels has been discontinued, but instead parcels are insured against loss in an amount equivalent to its actual value, up to $50. By Talented Young Folke—Direction of C. H. Miller.

HOT TIME FOR DELINQUENTS We clip the following from one of our exchanges to warn our delinquent subscribers what a hot time they will have if they fail to pay their newspaper bills. The same fate awaits our slow-paying advertisers: "An editor who died of starvation was being escorted to Heaven by an angel sent for that purpose. "May I just glance in at the other place before we ascend to eternal happiness?" So they went below and skimming around, taking in the sights. It so happened that the angel lost track of hunting him. He went around. Hades hunting him. He went around. Hades by an enormous furnace fumering himself and gazing with rapture from a crowd of lost souls in the fire. Over the furnace was a sign bearing the words, "Delinquent subscribers," "Come," said the angel, "we must be going now." You go on, said the editor, "I'm not going. This is heaven enough for me." Picturesque Occasion Occurs Weekly in Constantinople When the Sultan Goes to Pray. Constantinople.—One of the most picturesque sights in Constantinople is a Selamlik, or sultan's levee, a ceremony which takes place weekly. Those invited under the ex-sultan's reign had seats in a pavilion which faced the mosque and thus saw the arrival and departure of his majesty when he went to pray on Friday, the Mohammedmed Sabbath. Nowhere out of Constantinople do more nationalities jostle each other, and the color and variety of dress is amazing. The hill leading to the mosque where I attended a Selamlik was a blaze of color, writes Lady Jepson in the Queen. Cavalry and marines, foot soldiers and sailors lined the road, and behind these stood Turks, Serbs, Bulgars, Greeks, Levan- THE SALAMAN CATHEDRAL Mosque of the Sultan at Sweet Water, Constantinople. tines, English, Americans, Germans and Russians. Many were the curious tales which teached us of Abdul Hamid. He lived chiefly on eggs, they said, served a la Coq, because it would require the skill of a Borgia to poison them. His terror of assassination was so abject that he never left the Yildiz palace except to say his prayers once a week at his mosque, and he employed a "taster" like any mediaeval monarch. The ex-sultan, as all the world knows, was and is an enemy to progress and reform and excessively narrow in his views. The Young Turks had a bad time of it under his sway, and women a worse one. He enforced strict seclusion for Turkish women, forbade them even to leave the country after they were old enough to be veiled, and obliged all respectable women to be indoors by sunset. Even now, under a more enlightened rule, although they go out and about the streets disguised in yashmak and ferejeh, the Turkish lady is lucky if a spy does not follow in her wake ready to report to a jealous husband the slightest indiscretion. One of our party passed a high wall on his way to the Selamlik, which his dragoman informed him was that of a harem. "The walls must be high," said the Turk, "since women are so bad." We waited long in our pavilion for the sultan, and were relieved when at last his coming was heralded by men who scattered gravel before him on the hill. Abdul Hamid was a handsome old man with refined features, a prominent nose and a good carriage. He was dressed simply and he wore no decorations. As he drove past the troops cheered him in a strange low key, unlike any other hurrah I have ever heard. It is etiquette that all eyes should be cast down as the mighty sultan goes by. Behind Abdul Hamid the ladies of his harem drove in closed carriages, but they did not enter the mosque, women in Turke yhaving no souls! FIREMEN MAY FORM UNION Boston Hose and Ladder Men to Talk Over Plan to Have an Organization. Boston.—Boston's firemen are considering a step that may earn for them the distinction of being the first of any city in the east to affiliate themselves with organized labor. The members of the department—the hosemen and laddermen—have agreed to meet to decide definitely whether or not they want to affiliate with the American Federation of Labor. It is believed the bulk of the firemen will favor such a step. The promoters of the movement explain that, while the proposed organization will be a regular labor union there will be no danger of its members making arbitrary demands upon the city for increased pay or shorter hours, much less of a "walk-out" when called to fight a fire.
