New Robber Chief Who Rivals Garcia

Since the advent OF Camilo Polaviega

nouncement that he would speedily hunt

mics of organized society have been
moro active and audaclous than before.
The eastern end OF the island Is overrun
with them. The village of Peru was
raided Oct. 5 by a band of eutthroats.
Jose Melan, an influential citizen, was
badly wounded and barely escaped with
his life by mounting a swift horse.
The same night three OF them entered
the store OF Jose Lugo at Arroyo Blanco.
where half a dozen men were discussing
measures OF protection against the ban

them and their arms, with revolver in
each hand, before they were aware OF
his presence, and held them there while
his companions loaded up with valuables.
They thon notified Lugo that IL he did
not pay them $4,000 on specified date

hours Half an hour la1er the valiant
troops were on their track, but they kept

Home.
Say what you will about equality OF
the sexes, about the desirability OF uni
versal suffrage. about the propriety OF
girls learning trades and competing
with men In shops and factories. there
is one point where all people, OF all
shades of opinions, agree. and that is
that no mans hand can make the home
as restful and inviting after weary day
OF toll and contention and disappoint-
ments, either in field or shop or mart,
as can the hand OF good woman. No
bachelor keeps his quarters as neat and
as tastefully arranged as a maid keeps
hers. Throughout the history of our
rece woman has demonstrated her su-
periority as a homekeeper.
But there are homes and homes. There
are so-calleC homes which the male mem
bers OF the family visit only when nee
essary for the purposes OF eating and
sleeping. To be the mistress OF such
home is to be failure in life. Make
your homes so attractive. ye wives and
mothers. that your husbands and sons

them to any other place on EARTH Make
your rooms and yourselves as attractive
every day. for the benefit OF your own
family. as you do for the benefit of an
outsider when you are expecting com
pany.

the streets or at the corner grocery.
learning to curse and swagger and smoke
cigarettes when out OF school, we think
there is a family in need OF a home
keeper. Perhaps that mother tolls and
struggles the whole day long to make
her home what it should be, and is lit
orally working herself into the grave.
but her efforts are misdirccted She
has set herself the wrong ideal, and she
will never attain It. We are writing for
that great majority of American moth
ers who do their own housework and
are not ashamed of it. We would con-
vince them If we could that the sunshine
and the good things Of life are made for
them and theirs as much as for anybody
else. We would see them let up a little
on their everlasting grind of toll. and
keep the wrinkles of care a little longer
out Of their faces. We would have the
best room In the house thrown open
seven days in the week. 1t can be made
more attractive than the corner grocery

club to the husband.

THR.cs BROUGHT TO LIFE.
A Lady Who Was Three Times Apparenti.
Ready for Burial Alive To-Day.

The question OF being buried alive
was 4 matter discussed by a party of
gentleman at the San Francisco
Bohemian Club the other night. A
journalist who was present told the fol-
lowing story.
Living in San Francisco to-day are
two persons whose strange experiences
have long been a mystery to me- Two
years ago Il Boston gentleman came
out 10 the coast. He brought with him
his companion. young woman in the
last stages of consumption She was
pretty and talented. aud ten years
younger then her escort. [ am of the
opinion that a sort of platonic love
existed between them.
Three times TO my knowledge the
young woman has apparently passed
out of this life into the other world.
and twice preparations had been made
for her burial On one occasion her
companion was out of the city. Dur
ing his absence she was taken sud-
denly With p sinking spell. and the
landlady became greatly alarmed In
two hours tho inva'i id was pronounced
dead by the ladies IN the boarding.
house who were in attendance upon
her. As the day advanced the land
lady, seeing no signs of the gentle
mans return. visited an underfakerss
near by, and preparations Were made
for laying out the corpse.
The body was cold and still when
the undertaken arrived. He viewed
the corpse aud went back to his shop
for his assistant. During his absence
the missing companion of the dead
young woman arrived upon the scene.
1t was now about o'clock in the after
noon Upon being informed of her
death five hours before the gentleman
uttered an exclamation of surprise

body lay. closed the door behind him.
and turned the key. When the UNDER
taker returned he was refused ad-
mission. Two hours after the gentle
man emerged from the room and
ordered two suppers sent to the apart
ment.
Later the young lady was seen sit
ting upright in bed. eating heartily.
Her companion had brought her back
to life by method of rubbing and
physical manipulation known only to
himself. Twice after this he repeated
the performance. Three times. to my
knowledge, has this young man
brought the young woman back from
the dead. She lives here to-day. still

Accordingly he went out. and soon re-
turned with a dish OF great, rosy

guest. The gentleman was not slow
to help himself to the tempting-looklng
fruit, and after eating a few mouthfuls,
he exclaimed delightedly: A real, gen.

stand up strnlrht.

Women who wish to preserve th e
slimness and contour of their figure
must begin by learning to stand well.
That is explained to mean the throwing
forward and upward OF the chest, the
lattening of the back with the shoul-
der-blades held in their proper places
and the definite curving in the small Of
the back. thus throwing the whole
weight of the body upon the hips. No
other women hold themselves so well as
the aristocratic English women. Much
of their beauty lies in their proud car
riage, the delicate ereetness of their
figures and the fine poise of their
heads The aristoeratic carriage is
within the reach of any girl who takes
the pains TO have it; 1t Is only the
question of few years of vigilance,
never relaxing her watchfuIness over
herself; and, sitting or standing, always
preserving her erectness and poise, the
result being at the end OF that time it
has become second nature to her, and
she never afterwards loses it. This in
a great measure preserves the figure,
because 1t keeps the muscles firm and
well strung and prevents the sinking
down of the flesh around the waist
and hips, so common in women over
thirty. and which is perfectly easy to
escape. Another thing to avoid is a bad
habit of going up stairs, which most
women do. bent forward, with the chest
contracted, which, as well as an indo-
lent, slouchy manner of walking, is in

New rreatment for Borer..

writer in the New England Home
stead gives the following method of
treating borers, which he claims has
been wonderfully successful: Make a
mixture of about one quart OF wood
ashes to pail of water and stir 1t well i;
make ridge OF earth around the tree,
a few inches distant from the trunk and
sufficiently high to allow the mixture to
encircle it and run into the holes which
the worms have made. This, the or
chardist claims, is sure and instant
death TO the borers, and the application
costs less than one cent a tree. Treat
ment twice year will keep the trees
entirely free from the pests. Thin
whItewash is sometimes used in the
place of wood ashes, but it is not so
good. He also suggests that II tn ris
a very large number OF trees to treat,
long strips of zinc or sheet-iron, four
five inches wide and of sufficient length
to encircle the tree can be used in the
place of circle OF earth, and, in some
respects, the latter Is better, as it does
not absorb the water. and by giving a
greater pressure forces the water more
rapidly into the holes.
