as now, to depend frequently on foreign merchants,
or other foreigners living in the same city, to fill
these positions. Incidentally, the term "Vice Con

should be made Deputy Consul also, and authorized
to serve as permanent assistant.

the vast mysteries that lie beneath the wlsest OF us
are as Ignorant as new born babe.
The Inhabitants of ancient POmpe and Hercula'
nsum knew Vesuvius only as low grassy hill.
They did not try to escape until too late because
they knew nothing Of the danger.
Ever since that day, when it's entire top was
blown skyward, Vesuvius has slept, metaphoricaily
with one eye open.
The remarkable thing is that the modern resi-
dents OF the vicinity, they are OF the dan
ger close at hand, should continue to make their
homes and to cultivate their vineyards on the very
slopes and to the very top OF Vesuvius itself.
With two exceptions, in every century
since it's awakening, Vesuvius has taken more or
less heavy toll Of life and property from it's burden
Of human ants. Each time after the catastrophe
they have swarmed back in increasing numbers into
the danger zone.
The same strange foolhardiness has been shown
in the volcanic regions of Central and South Amer
ca, and already in Martinique and st. Vincent the
awful lesson recently given is forgotten and the
devastated areas about Mt Peee and La Sourfriere
are being repeOpled
And yet the case is not different from that OF
people who live in regions visited by tornadoes,
tidal waves or fevers. Lisbon was net abandoned
after the great earthquake day, nor Galveston after
the great wave. A Western town destroyed by
wind is rebnilt, not deserted. Yet no one can
guarantee the inhabitants from immunity from other
eimiar visitatioDe.
The slopes OF Vesuvius are rich in the olive and
4 the vine The wire made from grapes grown on
the volcanic soil is famous The wheat fields Of
that region produce a superior grain for making
macaroni. The wealth of the sea is at the door.
Then each man hss his way by earning liveli.
hood. He cannot tell whether he would fare as
we'll elsewhere There is home and there are all
the associations that make life sweet.
TranspIantng the lives of thousands of people is
no small matter
There things we cling to as tenaciously as to
life itself.
Among these are home, friends, customs, that
grow upon us from childhood and become an insep-
arabic rart Of u.s.

tins by the scores OF thousands, is again unclaimed
and s spreading its dreadful mantle OF death over
many villages and towns on the plain OF Campania.
Each day brings new reports of the annihilation
wrought by those awful serpents of fire that are ad-
vancing slowly but relentlessly.
1t is stated that 100000 refugees have fed terror
stricken from their homes il the shadow OF the
dreadful mountain and are now being cared for in
Naples. How many lives have been sacrificed he.
fore the molten lava and ashes finally covered some
of the smaller villages and hamlets may never be
known. All the conditions we're present to create
widespread panic. As il the rain of stones, lava,
ashes and fire we're not enough, an appalling cur
tain OF smoke shut out the and perfect deluge
OF water fell to confuse those who tried to get away
poisonous vapors filled the air and cyconic winds
carried the ashes and dust with binding force.
Vesuvi1s has been always treacherous sentinel
over the Bay of Naples. Since the eruption OF A.
d. 70, the volcano has been active many times 1t
was this first eruption that buried POmpeii under
twenty feet Of ashes and Hercnlaneum was covered
with mud. 1t was in 1884 that another outburst
occurred which destroyed much Of Zorro del Greco,
the city that seriously threatened at the present
time. The last eruption of any consequence was IN
1896.
Although scientists have established station
near the crater of Vesuvus to keep careful account
of it's behavior and its mysterious manifestations,
it has been possible to give warning very far
in advance OF an Outburst. Sometimes there are
ominoUs signs that the great mountain is troubled.
While smoke arises from the crater at all times the
outpouring Of lava and ashes is generally preceded
by dark cloud that hangs over the volcano until
the crisis. Those who live within the danger zone
bave learned many of the moods of Vesuvius, yet
they seem to be held by strange fascination until
they are able to save themselves only by distracted
flight. Naples, the beautiful, looks out upon a
bay unequaed in the world But always over this
scene of enchantment towers the angry giant YES
uvius n it's black and terrible malevolence.

ner believes this should be done because sour com
mon American manhood would prevent our passing
by the graves OF our former opponents without
dropping thereon some floral remembrance. Not In
honor of their cause, for that we opposed, fought
and conquered, but because we who met them on
the field OF battle know that braver men or better
soldiers have not been known since men have been
marshaled in battle array"
This splendid appeal should ring through Amer
lea from one end to the other The civil war has
been fought and only the memories OF its glorious
record of heroic deeds remain to soften the tender
but indissOuble ties that bind us as nation. The
rancOr of that struggle should wholly pass away,
dissolved in patriotism as encOmpassng as the
pity OF God. Could there be more generous and
soldierly consideration than that which prompts the
victor to bonon the memory OF the vaDqulshed with
flowers, the symbol OF peace9 Carry the message
to the mothers and fathers OF the South, that their
noble sons asleep in the far North will be remem-
bered on the particular day when the North remem-
bers it's own fallen heroes. Let new piece be pro-
claimed through the land-nOt the peace OF sur
rendered flags and corpse strewn battledelds-but
the peace Of united, forgiving and unconqueTed
people. The federal government has appropriated
generously to care for the graves Of the Southern
dead. It has also graciously returned the battle
flags OF the COnlederacy. They cannot return the
men who died beneath these standards which they
defended so valiantly. The people OF the South
with aching hearts and amid the ruin and desolation
Of wars wreck carried their sOrrOws and their ma
teral privations with courage that challenged the
respect and admiration Of the world. Surely the
sons of such race deserve iOemans passing tear
and the sympathy that would drop blossom upon
crumbling Confederate grave. For in very few
years there will be grand reunion Of all these he
rOes, blue and gray, where every man shall answer
to the final roIl.Call and Northern boy shall look
into the eyes Of Southern bOy-and both shall I'M
derstand.

The conviction OF Gaynor and Greene for embez-

harbor works at Savannah should be a salutary
lesson to grafters in that line. In the South and

without having them diverted. The rumor that

Sloan has been in obsourity long that the general
sporting world will regard it as real news.
The career Of the Indiana Jockey ls the story OF
the rise and fall of sport." The same story with
slight modification might belong to any one OF half
a hundred successful prize fighters, wrestlers ana
pony riders As Sloan was at the pinnacle OF his
professional pounding horses over race course
may be so dignfed-his downfall Is all the more
conspicuous In his ignorance, egOtlsm ana GulA
wittedness, this Jockey yielded readily to temdta-
ons that come to the successful panderer to sport
ng' institutions '"TOd'' was an ''easy marx ana
he has gone the way Of ilustriOus line OF prede-
cessOrs.
The little Jockey should not be censured too Sc
verely for his shortcomings His education was NIL
and his moral surroundings less. For years ne was
employed about race horses and finally blOsSomed
out as a rider and although he was failure ror
full two years, he managed to strike happily on
phrase of art which made him famous. From tbaG
time on his career was dizzying. 1t was said that
he made S1OO, 900 year while riding for whitney,
and later he astonshed England with his winnings.
He found favor with the greatest horsemen Of
Europe and rode for season as the first Jockey Tor
III. r. I'll. the Prince of Wales. In France ne was
also successful But this did not last long. Be-
cause of certain charges of violating the rules he
was ontlawed from every track in France and Eng
land. Returning to this country be tried in vain
to get employment. Although he had made sever
al hundreds of thousands of dollars in the saddle,
he spent with lavish hand and seldom jCdciously.
He lived in ridiculous extravaganza and threw
money away. He dressed in an ultra fashionable
manner that was idiotic. His antics in the dnning
rooms OF Europe and America we're scandalous, and
in almost every imaginable way he proved his men,
tai incompetency Thoroughly disliked by all who
were associated with him. he was intolerant mean
and contemplate iu his dealings with others.
But Sloan has gone tho way of the 'spOrt." The
saloon or the cheap stage has claimed most OF these
gentry, and those who not found there are hum
BILE followers vagabond hangers oD in the entour-
ages of the present day sporting stars, who them
selves are destined to travel the same route. The
glitter of success turns the head of the average
ssport'' very easily He succumbs to the glamour
and the feeting applause The sporting moth all
too soon finds his finish in the fame Of dissipation.

FOR The HOUSEWIVES

For Sunday Dinners-Fruits
and Vegetables.

Though with the coming of Septem-
Der summer is considered to be over,
the fresh fruit and vegetable is by
no means at an end. Indeed, the ear
ly part of the autumn is the best time
of year for many of these products
as they are more plentiful and
cheaper than during the summer
Grapes, the typical and luscious fall
fruit, are just beginning to come into
the market in quantity There is a
good crop of the concord variety, ac-
cording to report. and they came
chiefly from Michigan and Iowa. They
are retailing at 80 cents a basket but
may be little cheaper later on.
Canteloupes are now in their prime.
ROCKFORD is the variety now in the
market. The melons are coming prin-
cipally from Washington and are very
good In price they vary all the way
from Is cents apiece to three for a
quarter and some are even to be had
for cents.
It is between season for peaches and
as a result they are more scarce just
now than they have been in the past
and will be In a little later. The Craw-
ford and Alberta peaches have practi-
cally vanished from the market but
the Salway are yet to come. few
of them are now in market but they
will soon be coming in greater guam
titles. Retailers are now asking $1.25
a crate and Is cents dozen for them
which is very reasonable.
The season for pears is rapidly
,7rau,iry to a close A few of the Bart =
lett variety are, however. still coming
in from washington. They are quot
ed at about $2.75 a box or 50, cents a

President Worst OF the agricultural
calls The Forums attention
to the way that Harry Ellington Brook
editor of Care of the Body depart
ment of The Los Angeles Times, views
the North Dakota pure food law. Mr..
Brook has written many able articles
on pure food and kindred subjects and
his views are entitled to considerable
weight. 1t is especially interesting to
note his comparison of the national
pure food law as related to the state
laws upon the same subject. The ma
tional pure food law is step In the
right direction, but does not go far
enough. The North Dakota law is un-
questionably better than any other
state law, and the people are justly
proud of it.
Mr.. Brook, however, has erred in
two instances. The law became effec-
tive last January, instead of going into
effect next January; also drugs and
medicines only must be labelled as to
what they contain that is injurious or
detrimental to health.
The following is a copy of Mr..
Brooks. writeup in The Los Angeles
Times:
The national pure food law deals
only with Interstate commerce. Pois-
onous foods and drinks may still be
sold alb libitum within the confines of
a state unless the laws of that state
forbid. The first among the states of
the union, to come out with a drastic
law against the adulteration of foods
and drinks is North Dakota. That
state has law that will be effec-
tive Jan. l, providing that all foods,
drings and medicines, must be. label
led to show just what they contain
Whisky must be whisky, not chemi-
cal compound. All other products
must be labelled artificial whisky. Also
all drugs must be labelled to show
what they contain. This provision
was of course, bitterly fought by the
proprietary association that wields
such an immense influence over the
