Charles McQuinn, a wandering Will
lie, struck Louisville the other day and
applied at the Wayfarers' Rest for a
nights lodging. He explained that he
had not slept in bed for three years,
and he wanted to experience new SEN
sation by reposing just once In nice
warm bed. He got more than his wild
est fancy depicted. He got red-hot
bed and new sensations to throw at
the birds. The bed given him had not
had human occupant for some days,
but others than tramps banker after
warm beds. Unbeknownst to the man.
ayers a swarm of bees had come in
through the open window, and had ap-
propriated tho mattress as make
shift hive. They resented the intrusion

and warmly. He was cured, perhaps
forever, of the baneful desire to sleep
In warm bed. and took to the woods
again. Almost as painful as the sting
ing rebukes administered by the bees
was the reflection that he had worked
three hours chopping wood to get the
coveted he'd.

In Asia it has been the steady en-
deavOr Of Russian policy since Peter 1.
to come nearer and nearer to India.
The so-called Last will OF Peter the
Great is proved forgery. but the
IDEAS contained therein have mainly
guided the course Of the czars for more
than century and half. By force
and fraud and false promises made to
England. whenever a new attack was
prepared against one OF the Central
Asian khanates, Russia has made her
way gradually through an immense
stretch Of territory from the Caspian
Sea up to, and even beyond, the from
tier of Afghanistan. Ever renewed
breaches OF the most solemn assur-
ances-occasionally even given to
Queen Victoria by car ION the word
OF gentleman"-has been the regular
recurring incidents in these modern
Alexander expeditions" towards
India. For my part I believe that in
India England acts the useful part of
guardian of peace between contending
races and creeds, as we'll as protector
of the security of the country against
possible attack from the north. She
has, moreover, done away, by her legis-
lation, with some of the worst abuses
which were the outgrowth of Indian
superstition. She has conferred upon
multitudes of Indians the boon of a
better system of instruction. She has
recently made also some honorable eff
forts in the direction of popular self
rule within her Asiatic empire. Let
the hand OF England be withdrawn
and tomorrow the bitter feuds of races
and religions would throw India into
CONFUSION. Then, despotic power
detested by the best intellects in all its
own chief cities, would presently step
in as conqueror. with an oppressive
military organization, with host OF
semi barbarous hordes as its retinue
and with an administration more cor
rupt than that of any Oriental tyranny.
Could progress thus be furthered:-

Raising the Siege of Vienna

In 1853 the advance of a great army
of Turks. under the Grand Vizier Kara
Mustapha, put all Christendom in ter
ror. They over-ran Hungary without
opposition; and on July 4th invested
Vienna from which the German En-
peror al once fed. The citizens, how
ever, manned the walls, resisted the in
vaders, and an urgent appeal Tor help
went out to Europe. John Sobieski,
the valorious king of Poland, re-
sponded at once; and his army. with
the Saxon forces which Joined him,
numbered 10000 by the time Vienna
was reached. On Sept. H. Sobieski at
tackled the Moslem camp. Before the
battle he addressed his troops telling
them that they were defending all
Christendom, and that they were not
fighting for an earthly sovereign. but
for the King of kings. The attack was
completely successful. In spite OF their
bravery the Turks were Overpowered.

booty behind. Sobieski and his army

Tho Battle Of FIodden.

On the 9Th Of September, 1913, was
fought the battle OF Flodden. resulting
in the defeat and death Of the Scottish
King James w, the slaughter of nearly
thirty of his mobiles and chiefs and the
loss Of about ten thousand men. ut

overthrow which spread sorrow and
dismay throughout Scotland and was
long remembered as one of the greatest
calamities ever sustained by the nation
With all tenderness for romantic i'm
pulse and chivalric principle, modern
man. even of the Scottish nation, is
forced to admit that the Flodden enter
prise of James w. was an example OF
gigantic folly righteously punished.
The King of Scots had no just occasion
for going to war with England. The
war he entered upon he conducted like
ar imbicile. only going three or four
miles into the English territory, and
there dallyirg until the opportunity o!
striking an effective blow wac ;O\t.
When the English army, under the earl
Of surrey, came against him. he, from a
foolish sentiment Of chivalry, OF mere
vanity. would not allow his troops to
take the fair advantage of the ground.

The women who are fighting for the
Cuban cause are not the first women
who have fought the Spaniards in bat
tie. During the Ubiquitous oppression
OF the Netherlands by the Spaniards in
the sixteenth century 1t was no un-
common event for women to fight in
defense OF their native town. When
In 1872 Don Frederick, at the head of
. large army, besieged HARLEM. among
the garrison that defended the town
were three hundred women, "a most
emctert corps says Morley, armed
with sword. musket and dagger. Their
chief, kenau HasSelaer. was \ widow
OF distinguished family. and unblem-
tshed reputation. about ~ years OF age.
who. at the head OF her amazons, par
ticipated in many OF the fiercest con-
tested actions of the siege. Seven
years later, At the siege OF Maes;richt,
the women were of great assistance in
making mines, enrolling themselves in
to companies under the direction of
officers, or mine mistresses," as they
were called. The service they rendered
was inestimablc. At The repulse Of the
Spaniards from he walls of Alkmaar
women and even children exhibited a
like courage. assisting their usbands
and fathers in the desperate defense.
while at Antwerp "muit.tudas o. wo,r-
en- of all ranks were at work upon the
lines marked out by the engineer" His
tory. indeed. gives many examples of
such heroism, among which may be
mentioned the brave conduct of the
women at the defense of Sarragossa. in
1908. when they took the pace OF their
slain husbands or brothers at the can
non side.

This Arc.

The twentieth century promises to be

One airy organdie frock in pale sea
foam green is dainty enough for the
greatest beauty to wear. The skirt is
very wide and laid plainly over an
Gnderslip Of chameleon yellow and
green taffeta, finished at the foot with
a lot of tiny frills. The bodice is round
/ and has the fullness brought across
the bust instead of up and down, where
il is intersected by wide bands Of cream
suipure lace, laid over bands of yellow
ribbon. A great crushed girdle of the
chameleon silk finishes the waist, and q
wide stock, with bow at the back, the
throat. Small knots Of the silk cover
the mode of fastening down the back
The sleeves have huge pun to the ell

up by big pearl buckle. to show the

is worn big white rice straw hat, with
the broad brim left in it's natural state
dropping all around the face in the
most picturesque fashion. 1t has for
ornamentation buttercups, dandelions
and heaps Of foliage. all showing the
dusty green of the wayside weed. There
are broad ties of yellow and green tulle
fastened at the back and brought in
big bow under the chin.
