The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1906-06-22

A Madrid dispatch announcing the
death of General Blanco, Spain's last
governor general in Cuba, recalled a
name very familiar to Americans
eight years ago Early In 1898 the
Spanish government awoke to the fact
that the atrocities of the butcher Wey-
Ier were certain to bring the United
States TO the aid of the Cuban revolu-
tionists, and Blanco came over 20 re-
verse Weyler's policy. At that time
Blanco was siXty-five years of age and
not at all aggressive. He had made a
record In Cuba at the close of the first
Cuban Insurrection and also Ia the
Philippines during the early days Of
the Insurrection which drew our feet
to Manila bay.
But for the blowing up of the United
States battleship Maine in Havana
harbor probably there would have been
no Spanlsh-American war, and Blanco
would have left behind him in Cuba
the record Of a great pacifcator At
least such was the programme which
brought him to Cuba. He had even
been called upon to defend himself in
Madrid against the charge of too great
leniency toward the Filiplnos in 1894
e6. although he showed that over a
thousand rebels had been banished
from the Islands during his term and
many leaders sent to the gallows. Al
though In command of a good sized
army at Havana when General Shafter
attacked Santiago, Blanco made no at
tempt TO relieve that place, and as soon
as the garrison surrendered and Ger
vera's feet was destroyed he urged his
government to eyacuate Cuba.

Eat sensibIy and Live Well.

Mrs. Grundy's dictum that 1t is rude
to "snrIf' at table Is quoted In long
article on eating by DR.. Wood Hutchin-
son In McClure's, the tenor of which
is that we should eat what Is set before
US. The writer says that the person
who Is continually anxious whether
certain food is going to agree with him
Ia a dyspeptic and is going to remain
30. To quote:
II is not even well for us to consider
too nicely the amounts of water or food
taken or whether 1t is digestible or not.
The really healthy stomach ought to be
and Is capable of disposing of not only
the digestible and the difficult of diges-
ton. but the indigestible Any other kind
OF a stomach is not worth having. and
that is the standard to which We physi-
SLAMS are now training our dyspeptic pa
TENTS The stomach which will melt
down and use up anything in reason that
IL given to II is the only kind fitted to
survive Stomachs can be ''pampered'
Just as easily by relieving them from the
necessity of taking difficult foods as by
overlooking them. Personally have met
with almost many dyspepsias due to
the former as to the latter. The stomach,
like any other instrument, should be kept
up to concert pitch. 1t should not be al
lowed to shirk It's responsibilities or to be
humored too much. This. of course, is by
no means to discourage intelligent dis
elimination In the choice of food,
The doctor sets out to combat certain
popular delusions among Americans in
the matter of food, but appears to
hedge on every radical proposition he
puts forth. For instance, he tacks ON
to the foregoing the caution that some
perfectly wholesome foods are literal
poisons to some stomachs and had bet
ter be avoided. That Is a truism most
people have learned by experience, and
that Is. why there remains shifting at
the table for the Grundys to carp
over. The human instinct and sense
of smell are safeguards against spoil
ing" or putrefaction in food, and DR..
Hutchinson says we have only to fol
low our noses If we would escape
ptomaine poisoning. Here is the whole
thing in a nutshell-that the burnt
child breads the fire" and the wise
blOLDdCu DdihS at It's pdi llSuiul PNi'Oh'
But In the main DR. Hutchinson's
advice Is timely. People have run
after new foods who were doing very
well on the old This line of thought
leads him to land hard on the brown
bread theory and TO insist that the
whitest of wheat bread is the proper
food for man. This Is not borne oui
by European experience. however. for
the peasants. whose health and siren ,th
we envy, seldom taste of wheat bread
until they come here and If they stick
to 1t as a steady diet IL this country
soon show its bad effects And 1t may
be observed that If shifting at table
is not a European trait it is because
the shifting and the exclusion have been
done before the dishes come to the Ia
BILE. Axioms as to what to eat and
what TO let alone are drilled into the
young mind with the alphabet and II
everybody can eat of everything on
the table II means that nothing has
been put there but just what suits the
hour of the day and the needs OF the
stomachs to be fed.

SAD OCCURRENCE.
Home orc A. Sulenes Burns Wednes.
day Morning Wife and Two
Children Burned-One Child
Fatally.

About o'clock Wednesday morning
the home of Charles A. Sulenes with
all its contents was destroyed by fire.
The house was located in the Merriam
addition.
Mr.. Sulenes is saw filer at the Lamb
Davis Lumber Co.'s planning mill. He
got up at the Usual hour and after eat
ing his breakfast he put boiler of wa
ter on the stove and filed the stove
with wood, his wife intending TO do
some washing. After he left Mrs. Sui
enes lay down on bed in an adjoining
room to the kitchen where baby four
months old lay, and dropped off to
sleep. The supposition is that the fire
started from stove pipe which runs
thru the roof The fire was discovered
by nabors who broke the door down
and aroused Mrs. Sulenes, who grasped
the baby in her arms and rushed thru
the burning room. Mrs. Sulenes was
very severely burned about the hands,
feet and face. The baby was also
slightly burned. Both will recover.
The little eighreen months old girl, it
appears tried to get out and fell in the
kitchen, overcome with the heat and
smoke A rescuer whose name we have
not learned rushed into the burning
building and grasped the little girl by
the foot and dragged her out. She is
so badly burned, however, that recov-
cry is very improbable.
Mr.. Sulenes is a sober and indus
trious citizen who has the sympathy OF
the entire community in his affiicton.
We have just learned that the soul
of little Ethel Sulenes took its flight
at $50 on the day that she was so
frightfully burned. The funeral will
take place this afternoon.

Kings Mountain and History.

There is a proposition before the
country to appropriate $4,000 to erect
q monument at Kings mountain com
memorative of the most brilliant pa
triot victory of the war of the Revolu-
ton. The surrender of CORVALLIS at
Yorktown did not more contribute to
peace than the victory of Kings noun
tain contributed to that surrender. Yet
the brilliant event stands In history
as little more than tradition and is
regarded by the average American as
only local myth.
We have had some ambling history
writing in this country about that war
and could we'll afford to expend this
10000 as an inducement to the rising
genera ton to inform themselves and
learn that there was such battle as
Kings mountain, where the noble Fer
guson fell and where his troops were
slain or captured to a man by the rug
ged scotch-Irish of Virginia and the
Carolinas.
Never was there a more gallant sol
dier than Patrick Ferguson, the chival-
rous 1rishman who at Brandywine
might have slain Washington and
spared him In a moment of'noble i'm
pulse. He led the British, and opposed
to him were the militia of Virginia
and the Carolinas, under Campbell,
Shelby, Sewer, Cleveland, Mcdowell.
Williams, Lacey, Winston and others.
Their troops were hardy settlers, used
to priyation, brave, intrepid, self re
liant every one hunter and marks
man 1t is doubtful if one-tenth of the
adult American population know
where Kings mountain is, and not one
hundredth of them know that there
was decided that memorable October
day, 1870, the destinies of their coun-
try. Interest in the battle was dulled
by the civil war, and the last notable
celebration on that field took place In
1856, the seventy-dfth anniversary.

La Granja, the spot chosen as re
treat for the young Spanish king and
his British bride, is a sheltered recess
in the mountains in the center of pine
forest 1000 feet above the sea. 1t
has been called the Versailles of Spain,
but the terraces of La Granja, unlike
those of its French prototype, are the
result of nature instead of artifice. Su-
perstitious folk would consider La
GranJa hoodooed, for 1t has witnessed
several famous abdications of Spanish
rulers, and the present kings mother
has such hatred of the place and its
history that she has visited 1t but once
In her life.
