the night she had walked about the
house, lying down for a short time on
the floor. She said she realized now
that she had done wrong, but believed
that she was doing right at the time

sisted, however, in stating that the
children we're not dead.
The boy who escaped went to his
home in Salinas and reported to his
father that the eldest girl was i'll and
had been lying on the bed. but said
nothing Of his mothers attack on him

ssThe father telephoned to a Pacific
Grove physician asking him to call at
the house and see the child. The doc

| one sick in the house and that some
mistake had been made.
Early Sunday morning Mr. Iverson
drove to Pacific Grove. He knocked
at the front door of the cottage, where
his family had been living and was
told to go around to the back door
He did so and entering the house was
about to kiss his wife when she said
Don't touch me. Don't you pu'
your hands on me. Go and look a
your children"
With that he opened the door OF al
adjoining room where lay the bodies
Of the three children, the boy on on
bed and the two girls on another. Thu

were plentiful that the two olde
children had struggled hard agains
their death.
Mrs. Iverson had been i'll for severa
months and had showed signs OF men

An Alleged Revolution Is Reported
from Colombia.

from Colombia.
Panama, Colombia, Oct. 26.-A rev.
olutionary force consisting of about
70 men landed on or about October
II at Catalina, the port at the mouth
of the Calobora on the eastern coast
Of Colombia and after having Travelled
a certain distance into the interior
returned to the coast and marched
toward Peno Nome.
This expedition, according to infor-
nation in the hands OF Governor
Obaldia, is under the leadership OF
FREDERICK Berrara, Lugo and Juan An
tonic Caiscedo. Berrara was n OF
the liberal revolutionists who took
part in the capture of Colon in 1901,
and Lugo was one Of the military
chiefs in the Domingo Diaz expedition
of 1901. Nothing is known OF Cas-
cido.
1t is believed that the revolutionists
were expecting reinforcements, but
that they we're disappointed and con
s%equently returned to the coast.
The government force under Mon
signor Tascon are to sail this afternoon
to chase the insurgents. The latter
have to travel through a rough and
| wild country and it is hardly believed
they will be able to stand before the
we'll disciplined troops under Major
Tascon. Little Importance is at
tached to the movement.
Advices received by the governor
from the department of Cauca ane

HERE LIVED STEPHENS DAVE
First Printer in British America,
 163S-

First Printer in British America,
 163S-16oo."
 Thus reads the tablet on the Demster street side of the old building facing Harvard Square, Cambridge Mass. On the land in the rear of this building stood the residence of President Dunster os Harvard College. On the front of its roof were English gables. while the back was a long roof continuing down nj yh to the ground. In a wing along Dun ster street was once the printing press.
 In March, 1639 Governor Winthrop writes: "A printing house was begun at Cambridge by one Daye, at the charge of MT. Glover, who died on sea hither- ward. The first thing which was print ed was the freeman's oath; the next was an almanac made for New England by MT. William Pierce, mariner ;the next was the Psalms newly turned into me- tre."
 The General Court, December TO- 1641. recognized Daye as 'the first that set upon printing" yet he was not a thor oughly trained printer but a locksmith by trade. His son, Matthew, may have received some instruction as a printer. There was one Marmaduke Johnson. who came later to aseist in printing the h. dian Bible. and he was acknowledged as the first thoroughly instructed printer in New England"
 Matthew Daye was a printer and the first known steward of Harvard College. He died May 16th. 1649
 Printing was exclusively conducted at Cambridge for nearly half a century. It was during this period that the Indian Bible was printed. Very little. If any work of this kind was carried on here about and after the year 17OO, except by Samuel Hull, 1775-76, until 1900, when William Hilliard set up "printery."
 During the nineteenth century a very high comparative rank for both quality and quantity has been constantly held by the printers of Cambridge The two best examples are the University Press and Riverside Press, the latter being so widely known as the publisher of the works of many of the famous poets. novelists, essayists. efc., of New England of the last fifty years.

CHRISTMAS REMNANTS.
Ways of Serving the Portions of Tur-
 key Left from the Feast

After your Christmas dinner you will prob ably find that you have a goodly portion of tur- key left. This has happened a great many times before, and as result many was have been devised for preparing these left over scraps of turke meat. This does not mean the large white slices of the breast, for this portion of the meat can be simply arranged on platter and eaten 1t is.
 salad of the white meat of turkey is aa good as, if not better than, chicken salad Take one cup of turkey meat rather coarsely chopped; one cup of celery. also rather coarsely chopped, the whites of three hard boiled eggs also chopped. Put the yolks of the hard boiled eggs into bowl and mash and then pour over them three tablespoonfulS of melted butter or pure olive oil. Into this put one teaspoonfu of salt and one of mustard, with dash of red pepper; then thin with half a cup of good vinegar.
 Another way to use the white meat of tur. key is to chop 1t fine. then put a spoonful of cranberry sauce that has been run through bowl. on this layer of chopped turkey then layer of cranberry. and on till the mold is full. Press hard and put In a cold place till ready to use: then turn out on a platter.
 Turkey Croquettes.-Take one cup of turkey meat. chopped fine; one cup of bread crumbs one spoonful of butter and two of cream; sea. son with salt and pepper; mold into little fancy shaped cakes and fry.
 Turkey patties are made exactly as are chicken patties. To one cup of turkey take one cup of turkey gravy cup of water made rich by a generous lump of butter sea- son and thicken with a little flour; pour into pastry with a little flour; pour into pastry shells and bake in quick oven.

Joys of Christmas Time.

 While the Christmas season brings thrill of joy to all the aged who have lived correct lives yet 1t is sometimes saddened by remi- niscences of sins of omission and commission The knowledge that during this blessed tims evil spirits are shorn of powers to do evil does not always sothe the bangs of conscience But to the young to whom life in prospect is all hope and sunshine. the season is one of unalloyed bliss. In addition to health and good digestion. they have two patron saints Little Jack Horner who sat in the corner '' and Santa Claus, who, though a Dutchman, is endeared to the infantry of all nations by the boundless profusion he showers on all na- tionalities. There are trees sufficiently stacked up around the market house to carry all the old genuemans benefactIons this year. and they are selling readily a testimonial to the improved prospects of the expectant recipients of his bounty.

United States is concerned that may be true. This country asks nothing more than maintenance of its treaty rights and of the open commercial door. We have no doubt the door will be opened and kept open in Korea under Japanese control. Whether 1t will in Manchuria under Rus- sian control there is room for doubt. though we sincerely hope the doubts will not be justified. But. seeing that the Manchurian question involves the treaty rights of various powers, and does not involve the honor of Russia, or the in- teertty of the Russian empire, 1t really seems as though 1t might well be submit ted to the tribunal at The Hague for ad- judicatlon. It is understood that China would be glad to have 1t thus referred, and certainly Russia. the founder of the tribunal. should not demur to such pro- posal.
