A very long time ago the British
government ordered that English
should be taught In Welsh schools.
As result. In 1865 colony of perse-
cuted Welsh miners fed from the Brit
ish tyranny and settled In the deserts
OF Patagonia. These men we're heroes
and with most magnificent courage
they dared TO live In desert where
not a plant would grow, where the
water was brackish aud the heat In
tolerable. They were surrounded by
wild tribes OF hostile sayages, and
made them warm friends: they were
ruled by foreign government. and
became loyal citizens. Through long
years OF want and famine they never
despaired. They have turned the desert
into a beautiful fertile country. have
become rich. number 5000 people. have
extended their string Of settlements
right across South America, own n
paying railway, and ship large crops
OF wheat, wool. ostrich feathers and
quanaoo skins. They left Wales To es-
cape the tyranny OF the English Lam
guage, and now, rather than talk
Welsh. they converse largely OF their
freedom In excellent Spanish.

WHY THE DWARF DISAPPEARED
Amusing Experience Of a Physician with
One short Leg.


From the Columbus Press-Post:

that the medical man has leg that

going completely to the ground with
the short foot he places IL upon n sort

on board a Ohio river steamer going
to Cincinnati. Later he took a no
ton for drink OF whisky and went
back 10 the barroom. As he entered
the bartender was engaged In arrang-
ing the glasses on the sideboard and
paid no attention to him until he
called for the drink. At this time the
physician was resting serenely on the
short leg. his head barely showing
above the rather high bar. When the
bartender had mixed tho drink and
turned about again the medical man
had reversed his supports and was
standing upon his game leg, to all ap-
pearances a decisively athletic fellow.
