May, General Zachary Taylor was forcing
the issue with Mexico ut Palo Alto and
Resaca de la Palma. War was declared
on May 10, but news of it was IA long time
reaching the Pacific coast.
Fremont and Gillespie talked far into
the night, and the young explorer turned

fallen in that midnight skirmish, the desti-
ny of Calilornia's bursting Golfers would
have been settled by the chance blow of an
Indians hatchet.
The party pushed rapidly down the Sac
ramento valley, raiding and destroying
the Indian rancheros. This was to warn
the red men not to attack the Americans
as they purpOsed to do at the instigation
Of the MeXicuns.
The Fremont ejectment episode of March
had stirred up the natives against all the
white men in California. The whites in
turn looked t. Fremont as their deliverer,
and when they saw him recalled by a
United States officer fresh from Washing

KYRLE BELIEVES VANITY.
How 1t Was Once Sadly Disconnected by an
American Girl.

American Girl.
There had been lively discussions
some years ago over then seemingly
important question Electrically, and in

definitely settled, though in an indlvld-
ual instance | recall it would seem there
was valid ground for decision i'll the
affirmative.
The occasion was an informal even
iug' at Mrs. Lester Wallack's, and
gathered about one of the tables were
two or three young ladies, Mr. Bellew
and other men. Bellew had some bits OF
paper in his hands, from which he was
idly fashioning little boats. Il hear, "

in slightly sarcastic vein, 81 am sure
we all render sincere thanks in the
name of the American navy.
The actor favored her by an especially
comprehensive glance, and finishing his
boat penciled few lines on it and
rather patronizingly tossed it over to

raj SEYMOUR. commander of England's Pa
cifc fleet, arrived in the port of Monterey,
and on meeting the Yankee commodore
exclaimed without premeditation, "Sloat,
if your flag was not flying on shore,
should hoist mine"
The United States was then at war with
Mexico and not in "A position to enter
contest with her old enemy for the posses
sion of tract of wilderness. Had seymour
planted the British stakes first, Califor-
MIA treasure might have played different
part in the history of the American CONT
nent. Commodore Sloat had ample war
rant for his bold and timely seizure of the
land of hidden gold beds, but he appears
To have acted only when he was dragged
into it by the deeds of others. Captain
John c. Fremont, at the head of hand
full of explorers was the pioneer conqueror
of the great Eldorado.
In March, 1916, Fremont obtained from
the Mexican authorities permission to
continue his scientific explorations across
their territory TO the Pacific, and while
resting quietly in camp in the Sacramen-
to valley to reiit his band "A stan officer OF
the Mexican general rode up and delivered
"A peremptOry notice to the Americans TO
leave the country at once, or force would
be used to help them over the border.
Aside from the hardship involved in a
Journey to the far settlements Of Oregon
or the east with his exhausted men and
horses, Fremont had other reasons for re-
senting the brutal ultimatum. He was ON
government business of scientific nature
and had been induced to march 80 far
south by the kindly reception previously
given to his enterprise. He sent word TO
the Mexican chief that he considered the
order an insult to the flag he served NOV
ed his equipage to Il defensible mountain
peak, hoisted the American flag overa rude
log fort hastily built and stood at bay. The
Mexican troopers circled around the little
fortress for three days, but didn't attempt
to carry out the order of ejectment, and
Fremont started leisurely for the Oregon
line, hating At Suffers Fort, which was
on Mexican soil, to recruit his animals for
the long journey ahead. For weeks the
little cavalcade marched through the LANDS
of the fierce Modocs and Tlamaths, will
whom they had fought ON the southwark
trip the year before. One night Fremou

A Gigantic Wooden Statue.

In the Japanese capital there is gigantic
image of IA woman, made of wood and pas-
ter, and dedicated to Hachiman, the god of
war. In height il measures 81 feet, the
head alone, which is reached by winding
stairway in the interior of the figure, being
large enough to comfortably hold 20 per-
sons. The figure holds huge wooden sword
in one hand, the blade of the weapon being
"a feet long, and a ball IL feet in diameter in
the other. Internally the model is fitted up
with an extraordinary anatomical arrange
ment, which is supposed to represent the
different portions Of the brain. A fine view
of the country is obtained by looking
through one of the eyes of the figure. The
admission to all parts of the structure Is Q
