Oh, that's the song for me!

not give to his son at school enough
money to last him several years, but, as
the bills for tuition and board and cloth
ing and books come in, pays them. So
God will not give you grace all at once
for the future, but will meet all your ex-
igencles as they come. Through earnest
prayer, trust Him. Putueverything in
Gods hand and leave it there. Large

on borrowed troubles will swamp any

along a country road Just

A ride along country road just
planting is over so per cent. more e7
BILE than visit to an ark full of Jc. Iey's
wax works. 1t isn't question Of art but
of variety, captivating and exhilarating.
Every man along the road has an original
and strictly peculiar idea as to what will
scare a crow into Mysteries and keep him
scared He then proceeds to work out
that idea with a casual suggestion from
his wife assisting him, and with few
blood curdling details furnished by his
youthful son, if he handily possesses one.
Therefore the resulting creation is some
thing to think about by day and fit TO form
the central figure in a nightmare. And as
farmers in constructing scarecrows do not
borrow ideas from the neighbors the crow
is always busy choking down new fears
and experiencing new terrors at every turn
in his ungainly flight.
An then again the ogre of the fields is a
great character delineator. The humorous
farmer never so picturesquely displays his
humor as when constructing a scarecrow
The soul of the ugly farmer lowers upon
us from some truculent shape propped up
in a corn piece, and the neat and method
cal man is just as careful in making his
crow terrifer as in all his other business

ST.. PIERRE, MARTINIQUE, Aug. 22.-lhe
full extent of Tuesdays calamity cannot
vet be determined. From many ports OF
the island only vague and indefinite reports
have so far been received. The mountain
roads were in many instances OBJ
structed by fallen timbers and other debris,
thus rendering many villages extremely
difficult of access. Every fresh report
brings new details of universal havoc and
devastation wrought By the fury OF the
elements. The hurricane struck the ls4ah1
about o'clock Tuesday night. 1t continued
to rage till nearly H. Hardly had the ter
rife storm died away when sharp earth
quake shock added to the horror OF the
night. Many of the superstitiOus blacks
verify thought the end of the world was at
hand.
1t is impossible to convey an adequate
idea of the terrors and suffering OF tuesday
night. People flOcked to the open space
and spent the long hours till daylight IN
sleepless suspense. The knew not but tnat
the next moment 4 severe earthquake shock
might complete the destruction OF their al
ready roofieSs houses. Morning brought
little sense of relief On all sides the evi-
pences of destruction greeted anxious eyes
and as death after death was reported the
awful character of the disaster was made
more and more manifest. Then news began
TO come from other parts of the island
Everywhere the same dreadful tale OF SUI
fering and loss and death was reported.
No place on the island so far heard from
has escaped without serious damage. II Is
impossible as vet to give any estimate OF
the money value of the damage to crops,
forests, houses and shipping. The grand
total will be something enormous, nor can
il be told how many people persisted on
Tuesday. Indications were that some sixty
TO 100 had lost their lives. On Friday the
death roll mad mounted to 2lS. Today II IS
known that $50 me; instant death. Ii Is not
at all improbable that more accurate reports
will add still more names TO the list oil the
dead No attempt has been made to ascer-
tain the number of those who We're injured
by falling walls and flying debris, but the
probability is that thousands received In
juries more or less serious.
Efforts are being made everywhere to
repair the damage. Here in st. Pierre the
first endeavor is to get new roofs, Tor
hardly Il roof in the entire city remains III
tact. Prices have been sharply advanced.
The American briggs Ned White and Jennie
Phinney We're among the shipping Both
are total wrecks, but their crews escaped
uuhurt Not 4 single craft that was IN the
harbor when the storm struck the island
remained ahoat.
The village of Momerouge is total
wreck. The number of lives lost there was
about thirty.
Fort DeFrance, the second city of the
island was nearly destroyed. 1t will be
months before the ravages of the storm will
be obliterated. Meanwhile there is great
suffering and especially among the poorer
classes.

SAN ANTONIO. TEX, Aug. 22.-Some
years ago in the lower Rio Grande country
John Ramon was known as the most dts-
perate man, accomplished bandit and
thorough scoundrel i'll the Two republics.
He had lost his right arm. but used ms
pistol with remarkable deXterltE. AlIer
committing 4 Thousand crimes and nun
drCd murders he died peacefully IN ms PED
attended by his wife, who had been his de-
voted companion through forty years OF
war against the law. He left a son named
Eustoyio. This man IS now twenty-five
wears old, and possesses all the qualities Of
his father intensified by a better education
and larger brain. He has become the terror
of TIE frontier states OF Mexico.
The officials of every village are arraycd
against him. He comes and goes with the
celebrity of lightning; is here one day ami
there tomorrow, and is heard OF almost
simultaneously ut places 100 miles apart.
He is surrounded by band of cut-throatS
as desperate as himself. They are fLty IN
number. and regard smuggling rs very
tame occupation. to be reS0rted TO only
when there IS less exciting matter on foot.
Their excursions into Texas are very FIRE
uuent They have had three atfrayS with
officers on this side of the Rio Grande.
Some OF them have been killed and others
wounded.
News has been received at Rio Grande
CITY that the band Wllcn makes us uOuIe
camp in the mountains of Tamaulipas IS iu-
tending another fray. EustOyio on these
raids rides paint horse of remarkable size
and swiftness. The animal is bay. graz,
black, cream, sorrel. blue and white III
spots The ignorant peasantry have semi
deified the rider and speak Of him as el CAP
allera de caballo de siertes dolores or the
cavalier with the horse OF seven colorS.
On Thursday night Eustoyio went to 4
fandango at Canajo, became involved in one
of his usual afrrays and escaped with his
customary luck. He danced awhile, became
angered at man, filled him with six
shootea, shot at him while he lay on the
floor and fed. He WAS followed by three
soldiers of the Mexican army and policemen
of Canajo He heard their pursuing steps
and secreted himself in the chapparal and
when they cane up he opened fire. One
soldier was instantly killed. another struck
through the groin, ana will dic
The remaining soldier grappled with the
bandit and endeavored to stab him with his
bayonet Eustoyio drew bowie, stabbed
his adversary across the stomach and con-
tinued his fight leaving his four opponents
living in the middle of the sandy road. He
has gone to his camp in the Mexican noun
tains and the Texas side of the Rio Grande
is preparing for his next raid.

Eulky Copper Coin,

In Alaska thin copper plates beaten into
the form of shield are money. They are
often painted or etched, and they are kept
by the rich old Indian bondholders in a
special room and offered food at times.
Duels are fought with them in a strange
way. If native has been insulted, instead
of breaking his enemy's head with a clue,
he goes to his own bank and breaks up a
copper or two. The man who iusulted him
must do the same or lose rank. Some Of
these coppers are three feet long.
Copper currency is also used in the DARK
Continent. The pieces are in form of a
St. Andrew cross, cast by the natives and
very heavy. They used to be valued at a
slave. Traders were not able to counter
felt these bulky pennies SO as 20 deceive
the sharp eyes OF the Africans.-P&GAdei
