Woman Guarded Treasury.

When the followers of Salvador
raided Malolos one night they avoid
ed the treasury building, and well
they might, for seven Americans well
armed, stood guard and not the least
among them was Mrs. Goodheart,
plucky American woman, who armed
herself and stood prepared to join in
the defence of the building should
the outlaws covet the provincial
funds
The town of Malolos, Province of
Bulacan, was taken by surprise by
band of ladrones. It was certainly
bold and daring deed to perform, es-
pecially in the capital of a province.
At about 7 p. m. they entered the
town from the western quarter, ap-
that they were armed and ready for a
good fight if necessary. The first
thing that they did was too bolo the
sentry and take his gun and ammuni-
ton from him. Then the gange of
about twenty men rushed the cuartel

the few that were below.
It was an easy matter to overcome
them. Then they rushed on up stairs
and quickly captured the guns, which
were about twenty-five in number,
with about twenty belts of ammuni-
tion. Next short fight took place,
which lasted about twenty minutes.
The killed and wounded are consta-
bulary, two killed and two wounded
seriously and some wounded slightly.
The treasury was quickly guarded
by about six or seven Americans and
Mrs. Goodheart, an American lady, who
certainly deserves credit for her cour-
age. She armed herself and was ready
for anything that might happen.

that, doubtless is better than to revolt
against her fate; but she should ap-
praise herself, feel the high dignity
of her position, recognize the advan-
tages of life under the special form in
which she receives it, and which, in
nobility is equal to that bestowed upon
man. In word, woman should have
the courage and pride of her sex.
We often meet ycung ladies who

Of their set they say: There is a girl

ATTITUDES which ordinarily are charac-
teristic of young boys. But these have
never prevented a woman from being

What we wish to indicate and stig-
matize here is silly scorn of that which
we already possess; a refusal to put
it into operation, to employ it and the
dangerous illusion which lies in think
ing that we should have done greater
work in this world if God had wished
to make us something other than that
which he has desired.-Pastor Wagner.

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

Don't save your money and starve
your mind.
Vigorous thought must come from a
fresh brain
Keeping alive that spirit of youth"
Stevenson used to say, was the per-
ennial spring of all the mental facul-
ties"
A man may build palace, but he
can never make of it home. The spir-
itrality and love of a woman alone can
accomplish this.
Tens Of thousands of people fail be
cause they love their ease too much.
They are not willing to put themselves
out, TO sacrifice comfort.
If we are contented to unfold the
life within, according to the pattern
given us, we shall reach the highest
end of which we are capable.
BY proper training, the depressing
emotions can be practically eliminated
from life, and the good emotions rem
dered permanently dominant.
Every time you crowd into the men,
ory what you do not expect it to re-
tain, you weaken its powers, and you
lose your authority TO command its
services.
No life amounts to much until il
has program-something definite,
something particular. Nothing else
can take the place of it, Education can
nor, talent can not, genius can not,
hard work can not Until there is
definite aim, the energies will run to
waste, the ability be squandered. The
faculties deteriorate when working
without a definite aim.
Business is not only a great civilizer
OF nations and of peoples, but also the
greatest educator and developer of
character in the world, for il is per-
petual school, great life university
where we do not go to recite and hear
lectures for three or four hours a day

stantly studying and practising, almost

THE "cAMPRELL SYSTEM"
It Means Only Exercise Of lnteIli-

What Western people have become
accustomed to calling the Campbell
system Of dry farming" consists sim
ply in the exercise of intelligence, care,
patience and tireless industry. 1t diff
feTs in details from the good farming"
methods practiced and taught at the
various agricultural experiment sta
tions; but the underlying principles
are the same.
These principles are two in number.
First, to keep the surface of the land
under cultivation loose and finely pull
veri2ed. This forms a soil mulch that
permits the rains and melting SHOWS to
percolate readily through to the COM
pacter soil beneath; and that at the
same time prevents the moisture stored
in the ground from being brought to
the surface by capillary attraction, to
be absorbed and placing it in the best
possible physical condition for the ger
mination Of seed and the DEVELOPMENT
of plant roots. The dry farmer" thus
stores water not in dams and artificial
reservoirs, but right where it can be
reached by the roots of growing crops.
Through these principles, rainfall
of IL inches can be conserved so eff.
fectvely that it will produce better
results than are usually expected of an
annual precipitation of "a inches in
humid America The discoverer and
demonstrator of these principles de-
serves to rank among the greatest Of

merely made two blades of grass grow
where only one grew before, but he has

Ideas for the Hostess.

Does it worry you to have you hus-
band bring home some men to din
ner? | mean, do you feel afraid that
your guest will notice that you have
a misfit set of tableware and that
your maid is not well trained? Rec
ollect that if your guest notices these
things to your detriment he is not
worthy of you, says the Philadelphia
Press.
You are just as good as the best
person who could possibly visit you.
If you're not, it's your own fault.
Do the best you can with your
service, be sure to have your food
well cooked and palatably seasoned
and then treat your guest as simply
as you know how
If he acts as if he were better than
you, he surely is not as good as you.
If he accepts your hospitality in the
same spirit in which you offer it, he
is all right and you'd better have him
out again.

you or your husband TO Dotner Wltn
people who cannot accept your ways
of living.
If the man who is coming out awes
you because he is rich, try to remem-
ber some ancestor of yours who made
the world better worth living in. If
your guest awes because of his cul-
ture remember that you are trying to
make life worth living to your hus-
band and your children (perhaps

lages and Shoal Sounds.

The prevailing winds from little
west of south have rippled the hetero
geneous sands on Hatteras just south
of the cape, on Shackleford at its
southwest extremity, and on the south
west side of Smiths island These
wind ripples, started in sands exposed
by the removal of strip of forest
next the shore, have grown in size to
great sand waves, which are advanc-
ing on forests, fields. and homes. AS
the sand wave has advanced it has
taken up several feet of the loose soil
over which it has passed, undermin-
ing houses, laying bare the roots of
trees and exposing the bones of the
dead in the cemeteries.
Diurnal winds from the sea have
piled the sands into small wandering
dunes and hillocks, and even some
times into sand waves, which are
marching steadily inward and sheal-
ing the waters of the sounds. At
Nag's Head largo hotel, constituting
solid obstruction, soon had sand
wave built up short distance in its
rear until the level of its roof was
reached, when the wave moved for
ward and engulfed the hotel. In the
immediate neighborhood two cottages
suffered similar fate. Here the land
gained on the sound $50 feet in ten
years.
On the northern end of Hatteras ISL
and fishing village had been similar
ly buried, while the sand has entirely
crossed the island at several places
north of the cape. This movement of
the sand was started just after the
civil war by the cutting of trees next
the shore for ship timbers, and the
section is still known as the Great
Woods, though not stick of timber
stands upon it today. Pamlico sound
for two miles from the Hatteras shore
is growing steadily shallower from
the deposit of blown sand.
On Smiths island a pilots village
has been buried beneath the sand
wave for number of years, but this
has been quite recently resurrected,
and its houses are again occupied. On
Currituck, below Caffey's inlet life
saving station, the sand has advanced
entirely across the land, and one man,
moving before the advancing SAND,
has at last built his house on piles in
the sound.-National Geographic Mag
