that we are a fighting people. and vet
no other nation of the earth Is 50 peace
fully inclined, for we have steadily re.
sisted the temptation TO make con-

timely publications that ever eliminated
from the press Is a portfolio appropri-

This superb production Is Issued 10
parts of sixteen pages each, uxlSh
inches In size, and Is devoted to pre-

tested engagements participated IN by
Americans on land and sen since 1915.
It contains reproductions OF the
masterpiece OF artists whose creations
adorn the governments capital and the
galleries OF nation and states, and
which cost millions In money to buy.
In addition to these invaluable paint

man named Henthorn. and her son.
about twelve years Of age. The hus-
band and wife were mladle-aged per-
sons.
The boy, who escaped unhurt, says
that they formerly lived at Warrington,
but moved from there to Fish Creek,
some gears ago. Their property there
was burned and they have been tramp
Ing since. He says they were walking
down the railroad track yesterday
morning, and when the train whlstled
he yelled to the others to get OF the
track. The man succeeded in getting to
the end Of the ties and the woman was
stepping over the rail when the engine

A five-year-old boy drowning on
Twelfth street, seems like remarkable
attempt at devIatlng from the ways Of
truth and righteousness, yet the state
ment is true. It must be remembered
that yesterdays rain was corker, and
Twelfth street between Market and
Main, soon evolved into a respectable
river with a good boating stage. 1t
was about o'clock when the probable
victim started 10 wade into the rushing
stream. His little TRIBES got only a
few feet from the curb, when the force
of the water carried them up and his
body down, and his screams then per-
meated the juicy atmosphere. The little
fellow received a good ducklng before
he could be taken out and he swallowed
more water than he could stand. A
generous clothler brought the boy into
his store and gave him new pair OF
pants.

AS stated several days ago. the RIv-
erslde tube works will shut down to-
night for an indefinite period, but It is
not expected that the stop will be over
two weeks. The resumption, however,
hinges on a settlement OF the strike OF
the day men at the company's plate
mill, which up TO date remains unchanB-
cd. The strikers are very confident OF
getting the increase OF wages they de-
manded, and believe the increase Will
be granted so soon as the repairs to the
mill are completed for another start.

uuistador and occupied by him while
governor of the island Equally ancient
with the Casa Blanca are the fortifica-
tions surrounding the city of San Juan.
for their foundations were laid during
the reign Of Ponce de Leon. The capi-
tai city, with a population Of some 25,-
coo, occupies an island, connected
with the main by a bridge and a cause
way, and is completely inclosed within
massive walls Of stone and hardened
mortar, with height in places Of from
90 to 100 feet. Like Havana, 1t has its
MORO, or citadel uiterally a round or
Moorish tower), and the fortifcations
are on a comprehensive scale, with
bastions and drawbridges. ornate SEN
try boxes hanging over the sea, and
grim, gray walls towering threatening
ly. One may find their counterpart, on
a smaller scale, in the old fort at st.
Augustine; and they are similar to
those Of Havana before her walls were
torn down. The peninsular upon which
the MORO and the lighthouse stand Is
thrust out into the sea, on one side
breasting the laundering surges Of the
Caribbean, and on the other guarding
the placid waters Of n beautiful and al.
most land locked harbor. This harbor
Is one Of the finest in the West Indies,
large, sheltered, and capable Of accom-
modating any number Of the largest
ships, giving anchorage In from three
to six fathoms.
Though the main portion of San Juan
