How President ROoseveIfs Youngest
Son Confused Class Room.
For a few seconds the other day
Quentin, youngest son of President and
Mrs. Roosevelt, created an uproar in
one of the class rooms of Force school,
on Massachusetts avenue in Washing
ton, where he is enrolled as Il pupil,
says the Washington Post. 1t is said
he assumed the prerogatives of his
teacher for Il brief period while she
was out of the room.
The teacher had been making an eff
fort to impress upon the pupils the
evil of overindulgence in certain bever-
ages.
''All those who drink coffee for their
breakfast may sand she said.
A large portion of the school arose,
and then the teacher said:
''Now, all those who take tea either
In the morning or evening may arise"
Again part of the school stood.
Just at that moment the teacher was
called from the room. As she disap-
peared through the door Quentin jump
ed to his feet, held up his hand to COM
mand attention and said:
''All those who take champagne for
their lunch may now stand on their
heads"

was made easier by the fact that the

AWFUL TRAGEDY

Robbers Commit Horrible
Deed and Are Themsel-

Special to The Journal.


Odessa, Dec. ia terrible TRACE
dy is reported from Nissel in South
ern Russia. At dead of night man
and woman awoke peasant named
Bebeshko beseeching him to go with
the former to the house of midwife
while the woman would await them.
Bebeshko willingly accompanied the
man, commencing the female to the
care of his wife and daughter. Then
the woman suddenly revealing herself
as a disguised man demanded their
money and their valuables and was
conducted to the small room by the
terrified women. The mother losing
her mental equilibrium suddenly lock
ed the door upon the brigand and fed.
Meeting on the threshold the first ruff
fan who had returned she madly ham
mered his brains out, shouting all the
while with all her might.
Two neighbors attracted by the
scream arrived, opened the room and
found the daughter literally torn to
pieces by the second miscreant whom
they shot dead then and there. In the
court yard they found the still warm
corpse of Bebeshko whose wife is now
stark mad.

THE SALVATION
ARMY WORK

(coitInued from Forty.Flrst Page"
OF the larger cities Of the north and
east, yet there are a certain class OF
people that need such an organiza-
tiontion as this to start them in the
right direction.
The Army here has recently Sc
cured a new headquarters located at
30k West Government street. Major
Berriman, who is the head officer for
the Southern States with headquar-
tiers in Atlanta, Ca, recently visited
the city and dedicated the new hall.
In speaking of the prospects in Pen
sacola the Major said: Our new hall
and headquarters are the best we
have ever had in the city, and we are
preparing to make our work more
systematic so that we shall be able
to reach a larger number OF people
than we have ever done before. l
am pleased with the outlook here
and wish to thank the citizens for
the noble way in which they have
stood by our workers"
We are now making preparations
to feed the needy poor at Christmas
time. The Army investigates every
case OF poverty that is reported ana
only dispenses relief where the people
are found really worthy. A well
filled basket of provisions will be
supplied to every needy family on
Christmas eve. Chicken, meat, COT
fee, sugar, bread, and all that is nee
essary to make a good Christmas din
ner will be supplied in these baskets.
Last Christmas throughout this coun-
try the Army supplied no less than
100000 poor people with Christmas
dinner. In New York alone over $4,000
were fed and over 10000 in Chicago
There is no doubt that but for the eff
fort that is put forth by these work
ers many poor people would go hun
cry on Christmas day.
The Army will be glad to receive
either donations of mGney or provi
sions for the Christmas effort, as we
are making preparations to feed 25t
of Pensacolas poor. We could moi
forget the children and we will have
a treat for them on New Years night

Madrid. Spain.


Dear Cousin Charley:
: Well. here we are in the land of the
Dons, and a fine bunch of pirates they
would make. Gee! They are ferce-looi.-
ing fellows. Some of them wear red
handkerchiefs around their heads and
big gold rings in their ears Of course,
most of them dress just like the Amer:-
cans. The Portuguese are the fierce3t
looking. Portugal is west OF Spain, hut
many of Its people i've in Madrid. They
are as dark skinned as Indians with
black eyes and hair.
1 don't think the Spaniards like us
much over here because we gave them
such licking and some of them scowl
and mutter "Americonoc" But / notice
they like our American dollars all right.
The Spanish people are very cruel, and
their greatest pleasure is the bull fight,
where bulls are tortured, then killed. for
their amusement Papa and Mr.. Dean
and I went to see one. and l never want
to see another one. They have the fight
in an arena just like a circus, with seats
all around and a high fence in front of
the seats. or course, it isn't in tent.
The men who fight the bulls are called
matadors and carry a sword and a red
cloth with which they tantalize the bull.
They all get IN the arena and then the
bull is let in. As soon as he comes in
they stick things in his shoulders to
make him mad. and then the fighters
commence waving their cloths at him to
get him to chase them. Well, l tell you
he makes them hustle a bit, too. but of
course. he don't stand show on earth
and soon he Is worn oat from rushing
around the arena and then is killed by
the head matador, who is cheered and
applauded by the people like he had done
something wonderful.
Papa said they do the job much more
humanely in chicago, even if they don't
get much healthy specimens of beef.
You know this is the big rock on the
southern end of Spain, and where the
British have one OF the biggest and
strongest forts in the world. Ii was just
wonderful. the whole rock was full of
holes with cannon sticking through them.
Gee! but wouldn't like to be in any ship
they fired at.
Well, / must close now, it is most
Christmas, but 1 don't feel bit that
way. Yours, HARRY.
P. 81 guess you are surprised to get
this letter from Spain, but we changed
our minds at the last minute and will not
go to Paris until next week.
