QueFetaro ana Mn1Imllian.

Oueretaro was town before the
spanish conquest, and was made a
city In 1855. A legend of Queretaro ia
mat an OtOmite chief, Fernando de
tapla Dy name, undertook to convert
the city to Christianity in way that
seems novel to US, but was common
enough to his day. He came from
Iula with challenge to the people Of
Queretaro to a fair stand-up fight If
ne won, the people surviving were to
De baptized. The challenge was ae-
cepted, but while the fight was in
progress dark cloud came up and the
Blessed Santiago was seen in the heav-
ems with fiery cross, whereupon the
people of Queretaro gave up and were
baptized. They set up a stone cross
to commemorate the event on the site
OF the present Church of Santa Cruz
There is scarcely a church in Mexico
which has not legend of this kind at
tached to it. The town is identified
with the history of Mexico.
Here the treaty of peace between the
United States and Mexico was ratified
in 1S4S and here Macmillan made his
last stand in 1867, was obliged to sur
render, and was shot
Macmillan was executed on the Ger
70 de las Campanas, and with him Cen
erals Miramon and Mejia. The place
Is marked by three little crosses OF
stone. The two generals were killed
at the first volley, but Macmillan,
who had requested that he be shot
through the body, that his mother
might look upon his face, was only
wounded, and second firing was re-
quiTed to kill him.
The emperor had been led to believe
that Carlotta was dead. She became
insane from grief, and was kept in an
asylum for many years, but she still
lives and still mourns for her dead hus-
band and the loss of her throne.
The United States government pro-
tested against the execution of Maxi
milan, but in vain, Juarex refusing to
spare him.
There are all kinds of relics of Max
imilian In Mexico. The Yturbide The
atre, where he was tried and condemn
ed, the table on which the death war
rant was signed, the wooden stools on
which the prisoners sat during the trial
and the coffin of Macmillan, whose re-
mains were subsequently sent to Aus
trta and buried at Miramar.

Kerrr,s .Lllliputlan Cattle.

The little cows of Kerry, Ireland,
may be considered as the survivors Of
the great massacre of Irish cat.!s per-
petrated by the English soldiers OF
Queen Elizabeth. All that the defiant
Irish had to live upon was their cattle
and they held them correspondence
precious. The Kerry COWS probably es-
capped the great slaughter when the
English drove their foes and
their herds to the mountains, where
the hardy little animals surviy.
ed and are represented = this
day. The original Kerrys ara
little black or red creatures, with bright
eyes and crooked horns, the females
having heads a trifle too large for
beauty. One famous COW now reioic-
ing in several prizes at Dublic cattle
shows measures only two inches over
yard in height, seventy inches in
girth and forty-two inches In length,
from the top of the shoulder to the root
of the tail. Another famous little an
imal has the record of giving in forty
weeks four tons, seven hundred weight
of butter. These diminutive creatures
are charming as pets and can be all
lowed to run in small lots and pad
docks near the house, where cows Of
an ordinary size would look out Of
place. The Kerry cattle have a re-
markable faculty of taking care Of
themselves, and an instance is related
OF a small COW, being placed in stall
between two cows of the usual size,
refusing to touch her own ample sup
ply OF hay till she had slipped her head
under those of her neighbors and
quietly appropriated their proYender:
another tiny pet was seen to kneel.

calmly begin feasting on a forbidden
lawn which lay just beyond. OF the
Kerry breed there are now two kinds

kerrys. These pretty little creatures
are frequently compared with the black
cattle of the Orkneys and shetlands.

Bones of a Mastodon rouno

FOUND
wisconsin correspondence of Chica-
90 dispatch: A discovery was recently
made in the County of Richmond on
the farm Of ]. G. Dasch which is oF in
terest to students of natural history
ana which, as relic of bygone age
is a curiosity. Persons walking along
the banks of Elm creek. a small
stream flowing through the Dascb
farm, discovered that the heavy rains
had dislodged from a resting place of
several thousand years the bones of
some prehistoric creature of gigantic
stature, which are thought to be the
remains OF a mastodOn. The following
day Mr.. Daseh, assisted by neighborine
farmers, began digging along the banks
iof the creek where the bones first dis
covered were washed out, and after
reaching a depth of about eight feet
was rewarded by unearthing about
thirty different bones of the monster
skeleton. A part of a rib, apparently
representing about three-fourths Of tho
original length, measured over three
and one-half feet, and the circumfer-
ence OF the bone of the front leg at
the knee joint, as accurately measured
by Dasch, was thirty-nine inches, 9th
er bones were proportionately large
The damp blue clay in which the skeIe-
ton was embedded had assisted in keen
ing it in an almost perfect state ~
preservation, and it gave but little ev-
idence Of having remained buried in
the earth since the time when man
mails instead of man were predorni-
nant. Several flint arrow heads were
also picked up near where the remains
were found. searchers are now en-
deavoring to procure those parts ~
the skeleton not yet found and If will
probably occupy prominent place in
the State Historical Museum at Mod
ison.

Personal IntrepIditv.

The bravery of battle Is surpassed in
the quality and fiber of it's intrepidity
by the courage which faces a confiagra-
ton or a wreck, because the battle
fervor is helped out by patriotism, es-
prit du corps and other emotions which
have a distinct place in the soldiers
heart. The great fire at Paris, and
particularly the heroic death there of
the Duchess d'Alencon, recalls a brave
exploit Of this lady's uncle, Duke Char
les Of Bavaria, many years ago.
1t was in 1928, and some sort Of ex-
ceptional representation at the Resi-
denz theater at Munich had attracted
a large and brilliant audience. Duke
Charles was seated in the royal box.
Suddenly an attendant rushed in and
whispered excitedly:
"'Your highness, the theater is on
fret Make your escape before the
panic breaks out"
This alarming announcement did not
cause a change of expression on the
princes face. First satisfying him
self by a word of inquiry that the stage
was really on fire, the prince rose,
1bSppSu calmly u the lFOuL Oh the DQ4s
and said to the audiences:
II am informed that fire has brok-
en- out on the stage. There is time
enough for you all to get out before
the danger becomes imminent; the
only thing that you have to fear is a
panic. I urge you, therefore, to quit
the hall in the most perfect order, and
l give you my word that If you do
so you will all escape. To prove that
I mean what 1 say, l shall sit down,
and shall not leave my seat until the
last one of the audience is out of the
house."
Duke Charles then sat down as uns
moved as if the performance was to
proceed. The sight of his calmness re-
assured the audience, and the people
moved deliberately out in an orderly
the flames burst through the
curtain to the proscenium; the people
looked at Duke Charles, who still sat
in his place! no one
could make cowardly rush in the
face of such an example
In ten minutes the house was en-
.irely emptied, no one being hurt; Duke
Charles was the last to go out. Inv
another instant the interior was all on
ire, and the house was completely de-
stroyed.

The chief judge of the Maryland
court Of appeals in a recent address
before members of the bar of that
state spoke earnestly of the moral OBJ
legations of members of the legal pro-
fession. The somewhat common i'm
preston that shrewdness is the chief
requirement in a lawyer has been
helped on by stories of smart" legal
tricks and by jests, put forth as though
half in earnest, at the expense of the
probity of the profession. A member
OF the bar is a high officer of the law.
His duty is to assist in melting out
justice as viewed by established laws.
The profession, as much as any other,
calls for absolute integrity founded on
high moral worth, and it is a worthy
ambition for any young student of the
law to hope to prove himself equal to
this supreme requirement. In his ad-
dress Chief Judge McSherry favored
the enactment and rigid enforcement
of laws decreeing an invariable pun
ishment for dishonesty in the practi-
toner, in addition to the exercise Of
every possible precaution against the
admission of the morally unworthy
dnte the profession.

self on one occasion a victim OF it.
In the early part Of the century,
when brilliant entertainments were
given at Almack's, in London, Lady
Jersey was, one evening, the patroness
of a ball She stood at the height of
her popularity as beauty, woman
of talent and social leader, and had
very pronounced opinions. A rule had
been announced by the patronesses that
no one would be received later than IL
o'clock; this everyone knew, but per-
sons of indisputable position were not
always obedient.
On the night in question the Duke
OF wellington called upon an old
friend.
Are you going to Almacks?" she
asked.
Yes" he said, carelessly, 81 think /

Presently his hostess rose to make
her preparations for going, and his
mother, who was present, said to
him:
All, Arthur, you'd better be there
IN season, for you know Lady Jersey
will make no allowance for you"
But Arthur" was in no hurry and
stayed on.
short time after his friends had
entered the ball room, they heard one
OF the attendants say:
Lady Jersey, the Duke of yelling
ton is at the door and wishes to be
admitted:
What o'clock is it?" she asked.
Seven minutes after eleven, your
ladyship."
FShe paused a moment in thought.
Ihen she said, with emphasis:

Concerning women's work and
wages, the latest report of the depart
ment of labor offers the interesting
fact that. out of seven hundred and
eighty-two typical instances in which
men and women work at the same oc-
lcupation and perform their work with
the same degree of efficiency, men re-
ceive greater pay In five hundred and
ninety-fve. And yet the old preju-
dice against the inferior sex" is dying
out, surely If slowly. In So of the al
most 500 instances women received the
same pay as men for the same work,
and In one hundred and twenty-nine
cases they even got more.

Nransursrs of Dutch Cavalry.

In the Dutch army a man must be
able to swim as we'll as to fight. More
over, If he is in the cavalry, he must
have horse which will take a river as
easily as hunter takes fence. Swim
ming maneuVers are part of the regu-
lar drills nowadays. Collapsible can
vas boats, manned by a few oarsmen
lead the horses. so that they do not
attempt to land on stone uuays and
other difficult points. The men swim
across with their horses and on them.
They do it in swimming costume and
in all the accoutrements of war. There
are few nautical emergencies for which
the Dutch army is not prepared. Some
of the officers have even reached the
degree Of proficiency that not only
their horses and kits cross the rivers
with them, but their pet dogs sit upon
their shoulders and are borne over
