the enemy he was himself glad to es.
cape annihilation. He won the battle.
1t Is true, but only by the aid of a
naval landing party after the Mexican
general was pretty nearly whipped Out
of his boots.
Contrary to all principles and prac.
tices in Indian warfare, the Yaquis
were entrenched, and as the MeXicans
advanced they were met by murder.
Gus fire from the Maxim supported by
modern rifles. The shock of the sur.
prise and the mortality among the
troops demoralized Torres invincible
army, which retreated precipitately
upon the river. where the gunboat lay.
Again the MeXicans charged, and
again they were driven back by the de-
destructive fire. The gunboat moved
into position to bring it's guns to bear
upon the entrenched Yaquis, but the
Maxim soon put the boat out of the
fight, and it drifted helplessly down
stream until it grounded ON the hither
bank.

The Final Struggle.

This temporary triumph proved the
undoing of the Yaquis, as when the
gunboat ran upon the bank a party
was landed and making wide detour
flanked the entrenchments. Unable to
bring the Maxim to bear on two points
at once, the assailed in front and flank,
the Yaquis were forced to retire into
the mountains. They executed this
movement slowly and in good order,
saving their machine gun for future
use. When the smoke of battle lifted
300 dead MeXicans were found upon
the field. The Yaquis lost heavily also,
but not so heavily as the assaulting
column.
The battle of Guaymas has laugh,
the Mexican Government what to ex-
pect. The determination of the Yaquis
for resenting Mexican aggression and
breach of faith promises to be hercu-
lean task.

effect of vice upon the human mind
and body. The church shows vice
as it is, in it's origin, growth, and
in its results. Thus it opens the
eyes of youth it stamps indelible
impressions it leads to self-preser-
walton, and to future happiness and
we'll being. This moral light and
uplifting of the church cannot be
exaggerated: A Japanese count has
recently said that within Christen-
dom the gentleman always means the
the man of honor, rather than the
mar of money, and that this man of
honor is the product of Christianity
and is not found outside of Chris
tian lands.
A SCHOOL OF LOVE AND MAGNANIMITY.
The church has a strong tendency
to soften and humanize the feelings
of young men it is the builder up
and strengthened of the heart.
The young man who attends
church has goodness presented to
him in such a manner S to impress
him with it's desirableness and Iowa
bleness. The young man learns
through the church that goodness
is strength, that it is in line with
eternal and changeable laws, and that
it is the only really admirable and
strong thing, and that scorners are
blind and foolish.
H QUALITY OF REVERENCE.
The young man in the church has
cultivated in him the quality that
we call reverence, which is the very
crown Of character, and without
which man is a stupid animal, walk
ing among wonders and miracles
unseen and upappreciated. And
reverence becomes to him not only
an invaluable addition to his charac-
ter, but leads him into an apprecia-
ton of the best things in life and in
human achievement. He becomes a
higher tope of man. When Tenny-
son was once standing by a bust of
Dante and one of Goethe, a friend
said to him, What is in Dante's
face that's not in Goethe's?" Quickly
Tennyson replied: 1.-The divine"
And that is as good a definition as
another reverence puts into the
life and into the character the di-
vine.

DEAR AUNT JENNIE Please allow
me to peepin and introduce myself to
the members of the Circle. I am and
have been interested in all you have
had to say from the beginning of
your Chat. There are many inter
esting takers among you and I must
not tell you my .favorites. l have
seen persons who disclaimed the idea
of favoritism in any sense, but I do
not believe that anybody can truth
fully say that they have no~favOrites.
Why, I even have my favorite piece
of chicken and my favorite authors,
favorite pieces of music, favorite
artists, favorite dresses, favorite
hats, gloves, etc. I do not think
that 1 am selfish in my favoritisms.
I try not to be, but then I do prefer
some things to others and I can't
help it. It is natural with me and
I think that a persons preference
for things distinguish that person
from his fellow-beings.
Individuality is a wonderful fac
ulty in the makeup of this old
world of ours. Suppose we all liked
the same things. For instance, I
prefer tan-colored gloves, and if all
girls wore only tan gloves what
would the merchants do with their
large assortment of other cOlors,
and what would become of the vast
number of people who find employ
ment in the manufacture of other
colOrs?
My street hat is black, butt do not
think that all girls should wear
black hats. There are so many things
that I could enumerate that make
me believe that a preference is pre-
ferable to no no preference. I will
send for a badge, Aunt Jennie, as I
especially wish mine to wear to the
State Fair. I wonder how many of
the Circle will be there and if I will
see any of you? Wouldn't I be glad
that we have badges, if I do?

DEAR AUNT JENNIE Il hope that
many of the young people who read
the Social Chat are preparing to at
tend some high school or college this
fall. The twentieth century is al
most upon US. In the light of nine

fury without a good education? If
education was once a luxury, it is

and grandfather, before the clumsy
~stage-coach was superseded by our
modern locomotives and palace cars,
or the courier on hOseback had given
place to the lightning speed of
the telegrah-in those days, I say,
education may not have been abso-
lutely essential to success. That
day is past let the ideas that be-
longed with it pass also. And let

I wonder how many of the young
men who read the Chat are members
of the Farmers Alliance? I am a
member and I advise all young men
and young ladies, too-on the farm
to join. And if there is no Sub.

over with your father and your
neighbors and organize one. Join,
attend the meetings, and take part
in the work. You will find it of i'm

views on hypnotism. Is there any
truth in the statements regarding 1t!
I have never seen a subject under
hypnotic influence. ]. it is what is
claimed for it, it is indeed a great
and dangerous power, a power that
should not be abused, but should be
used for only good and pure motives.
How many of us read trashy liter
allure? I must plead guilty for one,
though I know it is a bad habit. It
neither feeds us mentally nor NOR
ally, but it dwarfs and decays. Now,
what shall we do to root out this
great evil? I suggest a plan by
which we may form a desire to read
only the pure and wholesome. Let's
study some good author, biography,
or history,@@or even science, each
month and write our views on what
we read-discuss the authors merits
and faults. Let Aunt Jennie suggest
one subject for study each month.
I do not mean to debar all other sub
jects from the Circle, but let litera-
ture form one permanent subject.
