He isn't Doing Business Any More In
Havana and Is Discouraged.
Maj. Herbert j. Slocum Of the Sec
ond United States cavalry has been
detailed in Cuba for some years. It
was he who brought the guardia ru-
rale in that country up to a point Of
efficiency, SO that the island is safer
now than ever before.
He and his guard have been very
keen after the persons who plot in
surrection, and as a result the few
remaining recalcitrants have had q
miserable time of it recently.
Some one commented upon the fact
that there were no more parties of
revolutionists to be seen about the
cafes in Havana talking blood and
drinking coffee.
"No, we've stopped the cafe revolu-
Zionist" said Maj. S1ocum.
GLOW do they like the changer he
was asked.
~They don't like It at all. They
don't think We play the game fairly.
every wen conducted revolutionfst
thinks that cafe is the place to plot
in. But since we've driven few of
them out to the mountains In the
rainy season revolutions have dropped
away Of in popular favor.
1T ISN'T such fun plotting in the
wet and there's no one around to see
what hero you are"

continuous from the wet earth to the
ridge pole of the building, the attach
ment of the points being the sole
joints in the whole system.
For the rods on the barns at the
Michigan Agricultural college, a half
inch, seven-strand, DOUBLE galvanized
cable was used, costing about three
cents per lineal foot. For smaller
buildings, such as the usual farm
house, three-eighths-inchc cable would
be large enough and would be much
easier to handle. The cable was fast
ened to the barn by three-inch staples,
"a to 80 inches apart, and without
glass or other insulation.
The points were made of half-inch
round iron rods. They were SO inches
long when not on cupolas. When on
cupolas the rods extend 80 inches
above the tops of these cupolas. The
upper ends of the points are sharp
ened, the taper being about three in
ches and the point finished with a
coarse file. Threads are cut at the
lower ends of the 36.inch points.

Mrs. Atherton's Views
Of Men and Women

Any woman can marry any man she
wants.
We have fevers for them that last
a few weeks, and then we become ma
,ternal and endure them. We women
never love men as we imagine that we
could love.
Conquests pail on a woman in seven
years. In time other things also cease
to satisfy-books, and dreams, and
sunset. and liberty. When this finishes
she will suddenly demand happiness
the real thing. Then she will love.
When clever women realize that they
are sex apart, and wait until their
first youth at least is over before Sc
Letting companion among men, then
will the world have taken its first step
towards real happiness.
First love is merely sort of cur
tain raiser. In marriage it may de-
velop into something worth while, but
In itself amounts to nothing-except as
material for poets.
There is a sort of highly bred woman
who has all the secret fear and an
tagonism of her sex for the other, q
profound resentment Of the male in
stinct for possession, and the deeper
terror that what the man may find will
make her life wholly his.
Life is packed with little unheard- of
dramas Of the eternal duet of sex;
nothing else keeps 1t going.
A woman incapable of passion is
neither more nor less than a failure.
From the beginning of time the mis-
cry of the world has been caused by
the superstition that love was all.
Love Is the furious determination Of
the sex to persist.
Real happiness may lie in forgetting
that love is selfish.
If one can be happy without love,
why run the risks?
Free love and experimental matri-
mony are mere excuses for sort Of
sensuality that is shallow and incon-
slant.
The thought of marriage leaves some
women resentful of bondage-of the
surrender of self. That is the reason
these never marry.
Theories upon love by man past his
prime are as valueless as those Of q
girl.
The happiness of women depends
upon RELOCATING love to the proper
place.
A woman in love is eagerly psyche
logical; she longs to discover once for
all her sex and herself.
1t is not possible for a woman to, de-
fine one mans fascination to another
man.
To be married and have ten children
has kept more women up to the correct
standard than anything else, except
poverty.
Women invariably substitute the
word misunderstood for failure to ac-
cept their point of view.-F'rom Ances-
tors (Harper's), by Gertrude Atherton.

manently moist. Great pains were
therefore taken to extend the cable
down to the permanent water table.
To do this crowbar was used to
start the holes, which were deepened
by an auger two inches in diameter,
welded on the end of half-inch
square iron rod, up and down which
the handle slipped, held in place by
a thumb-screw at the right height for
boring. The hole was filled about the
cable with fine sand. a pail of water
causing it to pack.
These grounds were made at dag.
onally opposite corners and also in the
centers of long barns. The illustra.
ton also shows how this upright
grounding cable was fastened to the
horizontal cable extending along the
ridge pole. Here again tees were
used, properly drilled and tapped for
the needed screws to hold the upright
tight and to form the electric connec.
ton. These upright cables are made
to 60 as nearly vertical as possible
by boring suitable hole through the
roof and not carrying them out over

InYrrs Drown.

Az hss baen stated in the i'azeite,
Miss Mabel PsadlolOD, Of Waynesboro,
Va. comniltsa suicide al an carly hour
Yesterday morning. by leaping from q
suspensio1 bridge that connects Clifton
Forge with a suburban settlement, and
her lover, Stuart Gay, in au effort TO
save the life Of bis sweetheart, WAS also
drowned. TIE young woman was heart
broken because her PLANS TO wed had
been frustrated. TIE young couple leil
Clifton Forge at midnight "Wednesday
night en- ronie for Washington with the
intention OF being married. They we're
intercepted at SlauniOn by telegram
from Mira. W. II. Hooker, sister OF Mis-
Pendle,on, with a request that they be
sent back TO Clifton Forge on the next
train. Arriving in that city at O'Clock
Yesterday morning, they started for the
home Of Mrs. Hooker, over the Suspen'
sion bridge.
When about halt way across Miss Pen
dleton lesped TO the water, aboni 30 feet
below. Mr.. Gay reached out to save her,
but bis grasp was eludei and in twink
ling her body wss floating down the
stream. Cay then climbed over the rail-
ing and suspended himself from beam
and dropped into the water. He swan
to the side of the girl. She stretched
out her hasds and clssped him about the
neck, and in an instant both were
drowned
Efforts to locate the bodies so far have
been fruitless. The river is very deep
and swift at tha poiot, and it is feared
that their bodies we're washed some dis
lance down stream.
Miss Pendlet0n's home was at Waynes-
boro. although she had spent most OF
her life in Clifton Forge with her sister.
Miss Pendleton's very tender sge WAS
the cause of the objection to her mar
riage. Gay was also in his seventeenth

Clifton Forge, well-known passenger

Eariftnnake shocks.

A dispatch from Lon don says that
Prof. Belar, OF the Lsibach Observatory,
telegraphs that a great earthquake began
at 1915 last night mid European time.
The center Of the disturbance was ap-
parently $3.50 miles distant. John
Milne, the well-known English seismol-
oaist, states that his instruments rec
orded a large earthquake, beginning at
9:l0 Wednesday night. 1t reached its
maximum intensity at 1906, and con-
tInued fora long time aiterward. Mr..
Milne tentatively eslimstes that 1t was
5, 400 miles distant. probably in Mexico
or the northern part OF South America.
There we're two earthquake shocks At
Manila this morning. The first occurred
q 5:O7:50. No damage was done.
Advioes from Buenos Ayres say that
the Puyehue volcano continues in full
eruption, severe explosions occurring
every two or three hours. Big areas OF
land, especially on the Chilean side, have
been buried in lava. All the nsighbor.
ing vilIsge, have been abandoned. Great
numbers cf cattle have been killed.
