THE LONG TAILED TROGON
A Most Gorgeous BIRD Is the Ma
tionaI Emblem of Guatemala.

Most Gorgeous BIRD Ii the Ma
tonaI Emblem of Guatemala.
BY far the most interesting bird en-
blem of a modern state is that of the
republic of Guatemala. 1t has been
adopted as the national crest for so
long that, partly through the taste for
stamp collecting. the existence of one
of the rarest and most beautiful OF the
bird creation has been made far more
widely known than It otherwise would
have been. There ID a race of birds
called trogons, most of which have
very fine feathers and remarkable col
oring. They are found in India and
the Malays. but are most numerous in
Central and South America. 1t was
from their plumage that the Mexicans
made their famous mosaics of feather
work. From the tail feathers they
made the lustrous green helmets of
their kings and mobiles. The most gor-
geous OF all WINS the long tailed or re-
splendent trogon, which was kept as a
sacred or royal bird In the palace OF
Montezuma or In one of the two houses
which formed the royal menageries.
Adequate description of the bird is a.
most impossible. Ii has rounded
plume on the head, cascades of feath-
ers falling from the back over the
shoulders, plumes falling over the tail
yard long and most elegant con-
tour. The color of the whole of the
upper surface and plumes Is n most re-
splendent golden green, that Of the
breast and under parts crimson or scar
let Such is the national emblem of
Guatemala.

A Gustntorx Gem.

The chef was ignorant of the pres
ence Of the cannibal king, who eyed
him critically. while sunny smile
danced gayly over his dimpled fea-
lures. Suddenly the chef became aware
Of his presence and said as he most
artistically salaamed:
II would have your majesty know
that | have just created formula for

"And what may 1t be?" asked the
monarch impatiently. 81 never was an
expert in the art of guessing, and /
would know the name of your new de-
coction."
And the chef, approaching the kings
Interest and his own Importance, sa-
laamed again and replied:

In 1904 the rock Of Gibraltar fell into
the hands of the British by assault.
The Prince of Hesse- Darmstadt COM
manded the troops and Sir George
Rookie the fleet, and In the remarkably
short time Of four days the stronghold
surrendered Many times the Span
iards attempted to get back the key
to the Mediterranean, but without sue
cess. though on one occasion they got
500 men within the fort, but failed to
REINFORCE them. In 1925 1t was in the
mind Of ministers to give back the
rock to Spain, but 30 great an agita-
ton arose against such step that it
was abandoned. There followed n
siege by Spain and France, which last
ed from 1927 to 1888. On Sept. ID.
1882, no fewer than 10000 men con-
stituted the besiering army, and in the
grand attack delivered on that day 200
heavy guns, Al ships of the line and 10
battering ships were employed, and
upward of 5000 red hot shots were
fred at the Notifications. Since then
the possession Of Gibraltar has re.
NAMED undisputed.

Tea Growing In Texas.

In view OF the large measure of sue
cess attained In the experiments in tea
grown In South Carolina the agricul-
tural department Will broaden the
scope of its operations in this direction.
1t 10 now proposed to establish tea
farm In Texas to see II that hopeful
and expansive commonwealth cannot
raise better tea than the Palmetto
State. There is very little that Texas
cannot raise, from disturbances and
long horned steers to oil gushers and
statesmen. Within tho area of that
state, which. with felicity and orig
inality, is called by its inhabitants IAN
empire In ITSELF" all soils and climates
are found. Between the humid mead
ows of tho Sabine. where the moss
drips dew perennially; the rainless
heights of El Paso and the superheated
lowlands Of Hidalgo there Is a spot
for every product on earth. II Texas
could not somewhere produce passa-
BILE tea, It would be proof that her
loyal sons have altogether misjudged
her resources.
Reviewing the matter seriously. 1t
may be said that, while 1t Is probably
possible to cultivate tea over ut least
one third of the area Of the United
States, it is hardly practicable to hope
to bring within the space of genera
ton an American tea to the point
where 1t will be liked by tea drinking
people, though ultimately this coun-
try ought to be Independent of China,
japan. Ceylon or India in producing
the material for 1.-The cup which cheers,

there are the following particulars con-
corning a minute paddock: n the twen-
tieth year of the reign of Queen Eliza

a lock consisting OF eleven pieces of

A
Law Case

The daily papers not long ago
reported trial case where a man
sued a medicine concern which had
offered a hundred dollars for a
case their remedy could not cure.
1t seems that the man had not
been cured, though he had taken
the remedy. The defence was
that he had not taken the medicine
long enough. He did not get his
hundred dollars.
We allude to this because Vinol
does not give a slippery guarantee.
We sell it on its merits and
leave it to the user. If the user
comes back with his empty bottle
and says: :" ! took that bottle Of
Vinol, and l can't see that it did
me any good" we don't argue
the matter. We say, or our clerk
says, " Sorry that you happen to
be among the few here's your
dollar
The fewl They are very few ~
less than one out of a hundred,
according to the experience.
Vinol is a scientific non-secret
compound of cod liver oil greatest
medicinal food known), organic
iron (iron that can be taken up into
the blood and used), and mild
table wine. 1t is pleasant to take.
Our Vinlax, for constipation, is
Vinols companion remedy, sold on
the same guarantee.

THE Clerks BALL.
Rarely PIeasurable Function at
.Montezuma Casino Last
Night.
PROCEEDS ARf 10 60 10 LADIES HOkt

Some 25O ladies and gentlemen,
dressed in gay attire, boarded the
cars for the Hot Springs last night to
WOO a few hours pleasure by basking
in the smiles OF the goddess Terpsi-
chore.
The occasion was the first annual
ball and banquet OF the Retail Clerks
union, Local No. 812. the proceeds OF
which go to the ladies' Home. Never
did a merrier crowd Of dancers leave
the city than those who boarded the
cars last night. Every one seemed
in good humor with him or herself,
and the world at large. They were
going with but the one idea in their
minds, that Of thoroughly enjoying
themselves by tripping the light IAN
tastic to the sweet strains OF music
waited out over the gaily-bedecked
ball room by that Incompatible or
chestra under the direction of Prof.
Ehlers.
Every detail OF arrangement had
been attended to by the exceptionally
competent arrangement committee
which the clerks had appointed, and
so everything went as merry as a
marriage.bell from the time the grand
march was started until the old "a
miliar strains of "Home, Sweet
Home sent all present scurrying for
the dressing rooms for their wraps
and then to the cars. in the hope that
they would be fortunate enough to Sc
cure a good seat for the ride home.
The programs consisted of twenty
dances, but this was not sufficient to
satisfy the appetites Of the dance
hungry crowd which had gathered
there, so several extras were played,
and thus the 1eeting hours of the
night were passed by the happy
throng, who gave little heed to the
flight of time, or to the thought OF
how they would feel today.
At IL o'clock the doors leading TO
the dining room were thrown open
and a rush Immediately ensued for
the tables. where. as 500 as all were
seated. Mine Host Talbot proceeded
to have served one of the best sup
pers eve provided at a similar event
In the history Of the city. The servt
ice vas excellent, the viands were
plentiful and toothsome, and no one
was heard to complain Of not having
received that which they desired.
In fact, taken all In all. the first
annual ball Of the Retail Clerks union
was al entire success in every way.
and those who had charge OF the af-
fair deserve great credit for the man
ner In which Il was conducted.
The street car company handled
the crowd to the satisfaction OF cv-
cry one. not one hitch occurring to
mar the pleasure of the occasion. The
floor was in excellent condition and
never did Ehler's orchestra dispense
better music. all of which tended to
