D. A. Costigan, student at the
University of Fayette, West Union,

sandbagged and dragged out of town
on Tuesday night, has made full

Costigan's actions excited suspicion,

Lotus Eaters.

According to Homer, the lotus eat.
ers were a people who lived on the
northern coast of Africa, visited by
Ulysses in his wanderings, and who
endesvored to detain his companions
by giving them the lotus to eat-who-
ever ate of this fruit wished never to
depart. The Arabs called the fruit of
the lotus the "fruIt of destiny" Z"
which they believe is to be eaten in
Paradise. The lotus is a shrub two or
three feet high, and its fruit, which is
produced in great abundance, is =
dwarf of the size of wild plum,
which has pleasant, sweet taste. The
name lotus has bee ngiven to several
beautiful specimens of water lily, es-
pecially to the blue water lily and the

AT Sen ON an Ice Floe.

Recently the lifeboat society at
Cronstadt received news that toward
the south shore of the Gulf of Finland,
about thirty miles from Cronstadt,
some 200 fishermen and peasants, and
their horses and sleighs, had been
suddenly carried out to sea on a large
ice foe, which had been detached APP
parently by recent storm. The ice
cutting boats at Cronstadt were laid
up for the winter and could not be
used. Twenty sailors, however, with
two officers and assistant surgeons,
were dispatched over the ice with two
lifeboats on runners, and q similar
party started TO the rescue from
Oren' 'enbaum, on the other side of the
mouth of the Nevs. The latest tele-
grams from Cronstadt state that the
fishermen and others have been found
and all rescued by means of bridge
made of poles and planks, which were
thrown out from the firm ice. They
had been cut off from the mainland
for at least forty, .ght hours, during
the latter part of which provisions
were passed over to them by the in
habitants of the nearest shore. -Seieh,

PATIENCE.


Be patient Easy words to speak
While plenty fills tho cup OF life,
While health brings roses TO the cheek,
And far removed are care and strife.
Failing so glibly from tho tongue
Ofthose--I often think OF this
Whom suffering has never wrung,
Who scarcely know what patience Is.
Be patient when the sufferer lies
Prostrate beneath some fell disease,
And longs, through torturing agonies,
Only for one short hour Of ease.
Be patient when the weary brain
Is racked with thought and anxious care,
And troubles in an endless train
Seem almost moro than II can bear.
To feol the torture Of delay,
The agony Of hope deferred
To labor still from day TO day,
The prize unwon, the prayer unheard.
And still to hopo and strive and walt
The due reward OF fortunes kiss
This is to almost conquer fate,
This Is to learn what patience Is.
Despair not though the clouds are darE
And storm and danger veil the sky;
Let fate and courage guide thy bark,
The storm will pass the port is nigh.
Be patient and the tide will turn,
Shadows will fee before the sun.
These are the hopes that live and burn
To light us till our work is done.

SONG OF THE RED BIRD.

When the frs. faint glow oflight
On my window, pale and white,
Wakes the thought that night is DER
When fain would slumber more,
And strange visions fade and glow
As my dreams fit to and fro,
Suddenly without hear
Piping clear, but soft and near:
"Cheer up, cheer up, cheer Oheert
Day is coming, day Is here
Merry, merry, morning, merry
Sleep no more, o do not tarry,
Light Is breaking, cheer, cheer, cheerF
Lying there In vain regret
That the day owes night debt.
That the dark is soothing still,
Though the light will lead and thrill
Musing DER fading dream,
Coming o'er some worldly scheme,
Suddenly again hear
Sweet and mellow, strong and clear
"Oheer up, cheer up, cheer Cheer
Love is waiting, love is near
Money. money, nay, not money,
Makes life happy, makes love sunny
Work is blessing, cheor Cheer Cheer "

A Very Variable Star.

One of the most remarkable stars in
the sky, whose antics have puzzled the
astronomers ever since it has been
carefully observed, is Argus, some
times the brightest star in the constel-
lation. Argo Navia, one of the most
brilliant consultations in the southern
heavens. When this star was first cata-
logued, in the seventeenth century, it
was set down as a star of the fourth
magnitude. In less than a century it
rose to the second then at the begin
ming of this century diminished again
to the fourth, rose in few years to
the second, became in 1927 of the first
magnitude, then again of the second,
again in 1888 of the first, rivaling
Sirius in brilliancy, then gradually
dwindling down to a star which at
present is barely visible to the un-
aided eye. A satisfactory explanation
of these rapid and singular changes
has thus far baffied the sagscity of
astronomers. .-PIcayune.

The United States Government is
seeking by pI ecept and example to
induce towns with names ending in
the forms burgh, borough, boro, and
burg, to adopt this last form. Burg
is the usual pronunciation in the
United States of the form burgh, and
most Americans refuse to sound the
final ''h," even of Edinburgh. These
several suffixes, and, as well, bury,
brough, and barrow, are related to
the Anglo-Saxon verb beorgan and the
German bergen, to hide or to shelter.
The several suffixes are also related to
several Anglo-Saxon forms meaning
An earthwork, and from this came the
application of such suffixes to indicate
3 fortified town.

One element of difficulty in bring
ing Spanish-American offenders against
the laws to justice in our Territories
derived from Mexico is the ties of race
and kinship. An atrocious criminal
of Mexican blood may be protected
through years of lswless career by
relatives and family friends who them
selves are eminently respectable and,
except where the safety of friends OF
kindred are concerned, law abiding.
This protection is continued after the
criminal has been brought into the
courts, in the way of the bribing and
packing of iuries and in the providing
of avenues of escape from prison.
Thus for years the murderer and out
law Porfrio Truiillo has gone at large,
or, when apprehended, has found it
easy to escape tho penalty of his
crimes. His present headquarters are
in the ManzanO Mountains, east of
Albuquerque, in Eastern Bernalilo
and Valencia Counties. where, with
price on his head, he perpetrates his
depredations and outrages with high
and defiant hand. One form of plum
dering with Trujillo and his gang is to
go into flock of sheep and drive of
hundreds at time, or &c ran off cat
tie from the plains ranges, kill them,
and sell the meat to inhabitants OF
the mountain towns They do not
hesitate at murder, eithes for booty
