When Darwin asked a gaucho of the
pampas why he did not work h reply
was, Il cannot. | am too poor" The
great naturalist was astonished. but
according 10 a recent article by Mr..
Cunninghame Graham, the reply of the
gaueho was a perfectly natural one.
Mr.. Graham says:
The man had no horses. \ gaueho
never worked except on horseback. On
horseback. no matter If seventy years
of age, he always appeared young. On
foot he waddled like an alligator.
Whether herding sheep or cattle,
marching, hunting, drawing water
from "A well, the gaucho was always on
horseback. He even drew a net ON
horseback, or ehurned butter by gallop-
ing about with n hide bag of milk tied
to the end of a lasso.
He lived on horseback, climbing when
a child on to the back of an old horse,
putting his little bare toes ON the ami
mails knee and scrambling like a mon
key TO his seat.
on the march he slept on horseback,
never falling of. In death, too. he was
often on horseback. Not seldom has n
horse been found straylng about with
his rider. the hand that guided dead,
but the sinewy legs maintaining the
wild horseman seated in the saddle as
In life.
The beggars. what few of them exist
ed, begged on horseback, extending n
silent hand as you passed by them. In
an alarm at night every one ran to his
horse, and mounting, WAS ready for
what might betide.
A paternal government sentenced
murderers, horse thieves and other mis-
creants, not to death, but to serve SO
many years with infantry. Miserable
enough that infantry sometimes was,

Not Easily Killed.

Not long since it was found necessary
to kin a certain vicious elephant, and
two physicians were appointed execu-
ioneis. They fed the beast ON aconite
concealed in carrots and arsenic sprln'

antly and asked for more. Then one
medical gentleman conceived the bril-
liant idea of loading a syringe with
prussic acid, inducing the animal to
open It's mouth, and squirting the pois-
on down It's throat. The elephant con
sidered this great sport, but the doctor
who was working the syringe, took Sc
much interest in the experiment that
he momentarlly forgot the deadly prop
critics of prussic acid. inhaled the
fumes. and fell unconscious. The 9th.

In Wilmette lives a direct descen-

other priceless relics. His name Is

though humble In calling he has a war
record In keeping with his ancestry.
Bushrod d. Washington is a direct
descendant from Augustine Washing.

George Washington displayed no par
tlality in dividing his estate, neyerthe-
less the direct ancestors of Bushrod
Washington, Of Wllmette, received leg
acies and heirlooms which were highest
priced by the father of his unit
Spottswood Augustine Washington.
third child and Oldest son of Bnshrod
Washington, great-grandnephew of the
General, was the father of the VIII
mette descendant. He was born at Mt.
Zephyr, near Mt. Vernon. Fairfax
County, Virginia, July IL. 1911. In
1893 he went West and settled in Iro-
quois County, Illinois. When Bushrod
returned from the war in 1865, suffer-
Ing from half a dozen wounds received
while fighting in the battles engaged
In by General John A. Logan, he found
his father on his %deathbed. The last
act of the dying man was to bequeath
to him all the relics and private docu-
ments of Washington. Among the
things which had been handed down
the line In compliance with the tesla
mentary request Of General Washing
ton was his private seal. II was this
instrument which Is said 10 have been
used In signing Major Andres death
warrant. History says that this seal
was used when General Washington
sent peremptory command to General
Lee to make the trip across the Della
ware. Not being able to lay his hands
at once upon the seals of his office Gen
eral Washington tore the private seal
from his watch chain, dipped 1t into

Bushrod Washington values this heir
loom above all others, but determined
that he would give II to the National
Museum at Washington.
Ten years ago Bushrod Washington's
wife became seriously sick. Painting
was not a good trade, and 500 Mr..
Washington's began to fade
away. Then he thought of the seal.
Among those who were anxious TO get
1t was Charles +. Gunther. of Chicago,
who offered $3.50 for the seal and OBJ
tanned 1t at that price. Mr.. Gunther
has guarded the seal to the present
time. but has kept 1t from public ex-
hibltlon. Subsequent to the sale the
Sons of C%ommandery of the Ameri-

own school books, amounts to a sum
really startling in its proportions.
Tabulation after tabulation is given
showing the prices of the books prior
to the adoption of the State system,
those now obtaining in Oregon, Ari-
IONA, and Nevada, and those being
paid by parents in California at this
time, and the comparisons show a saw
ing of AZ 1-3 per cent in favor of the
California State series.
Under the old system a parent nov
ing from one county or district to an
other was forced to discard the school
books purchased and buy new ones,
while under the present system the
school books purchased in the remotest
district of Modoc county can be used
in any district in San Diego county, or
elsewhere in California. Our State has
a large migratory population, and this
unnecessary tax for school books bore
heavily upon the people until the well
come change made by the adoption of
the State school-book system.
The fact that a number OF other
States are showing an inclination to
follow CALIFORNIA; example in the pub
LEGATION of their own school books is an
additional motive that impels the
Combine to the most desperate
efforts to cripple and destroy our State
system, so that it may be regarded as
a failure, and other States be thus de-
TERED from adopting such system.
The battle royal between the people,
represented by State Printer A. j.
Johnston on the one side, and the
book-publishing monopoly on the
other, is now in full swing, and If the
issue is thoroughly understood there
ought to be no doubt as to the result OF
the contest.

Commodore John A. Howell, who
has just been promoted to the rank OF
rear admiral, is the inventor of a self
propelling torpedo that differs in sew
eral respects from the Whitehead. The
chief novelty of the American system
relates to the mode of driving the screw.
Whitehead stored compressed air III
a chamber in his torpedo and placed IN
an adjoining compartment a small en-
CINE which should be operated thereby
at the right juncture. Howell employs
a heavy lywheel, which is put in rapid
revolution, Just before the torpedo is
launched, by connecting its projecting
axle with a steam engine that is entire
~ independent of the torpedo. The
Howell system has been improved since
it was first patented in 1871, and It has
been extensively used in the United
States navy.

Senator Bate of Tennessee told the
following anecdote of Colonel Tom
Sumter: Sumter was a great big giant
Of a fellow, with a voice like a fog
horn. 1t is said his "holler'' could be
heard for miles. On II occasion when
he was off on a foray the Tories came
and captured his wife, Molly, and
stripped the plantation of everything.
When "Old Tom came home and found
Molly gone, his rage knew no bounds.
Gathering together such forces as he
could he put after the Tories. He over
took them ON the third day and hung
about until midnight. Then he deploy-
ed his forces around the camp and told
them to await his orders TO fire. He was
afraid of Molly being shot i'll the melee.
So when he got everything ready he
opened his big mouth and let out n yell
that fairly made the earth tremble:
Lay down, Molly Lay down, Molly
and Molly, recognizing those stentorlan
tones, fell prone on her face, and after
the last "Lay down, Mollyl'' came the
command fire and charge. Molly was
r%ecaptured without hurt.

MI. Gladstone began as the defender
of the Irish church; he ended by de-
molishing it. No one ever opposed more
vehemently the extension of British in
fiuence in Egypt, but it was under his
government we bombarded the Alexan-
drian forts, fought the battle of Tel-el-
Kebir and reduced Egypt to the condi-
ton of a British satrapy. He was the
most conspicuous advocate of peace
with Russia when Lord Beaconsfield
was in Office, until Constantinople was
in danger. Five years later he left
office, after having brought US to the
very verge of war with Russia for the
sake of Penjdeh One year he clapped
Mr.. Parnell into prison, the next he
proposed to make over to him the gov
ernment of Ireland, and then again he
deposed him from the leadership. Yet
he was always consistent and anxious
for his consistency. Circumstances alter
cases, and Mr.. Gladstone wa not above
being taught by events.-W. I. Stead

Henceforwarl-to use Nelson words
about his own most desperate action
there was no maneuvering, there was
only downright fighting. and great as
was Zones unquestionable merit as a
handler of ships it was downright fight
ing endurance of the most extreme and
individual character that won this bat
tie. When thus in contact, the superior
ity of the British eighteens over the
American twelyes, though less than at
a distance, was still great, but a far
heavier disparity lay in the fabrics of
the two enemies. The Richard was a
very old ship, rotten, never meant for
naval use. The Scraps was new, on
her first commission. The fight hitherto
having engaged the port guns of the
latter, tho starboard lower gunports
were still closed, and from the ships
touching could not be opened. They
were therefore blown of, and the fight
went on.
"A novelty in naval combats was
now presented 10 many witnesses, but
to few admirers. . quantity wrote Lieu
tenant Dale, who was in the midst OF
the scene below decks. 1.-THE hammers

I know a field. a sunny field.
But not in sunny France.
And there IS neither CLINT Of shield
Nor CLEAN of pennoned lance,
Nor does the wind toss knightly plumoo.
Nor sillien tents unfold,
And yet in autumn 1t becomes
The field OF the cloth of gold.
For when the haze Of summer days
Has melted from the skies
And we, without reproof, may gaze
Up into heavens eyes,
A host their plumes and banners shake
In jonst with breezes bold,
And goldcnrud's bright champions make
The field Of the cloth Of gold.
The butterflies with blazoned wings
Are heralds for the fight.
And many a lovely lady filings
Her oxen to her knight.
And so amid their gorgeous suite.
