Tho Glastonbury Thorn.

Not least of Glastonbury's curios-

blossoms twice year, in the spring
and again at Christmas. Tradition de-
clares that the tree, which stands in
the abbey grounds, is descended from
Joseph of Arimatheas staff. which
burst into leaf and flower when plant
ed in the earth by the saint on his ar
rival at Glastonbury on a Christmas
day. That original tree was cut down
by fanatic reformers In the time of
Elizabeth, but Its descendants still
flourish about Glastonbury, and at
Christmas still burst into the same
blossoms with which they are now
white. In his possession this writer

An old traveller tells of an experience
Of his in midocean. The day was fog
Ry, and most Of the passengers were
below listening to two eYangelists
who were holding particularly ferYid
gospel meeting in the saloon. Suddenly
and without the slightest warning
there was a terrific crash and the en-
Rines stopped. Every one rushed on
deck. The steamer had run into an ice
berg.
Nobody knew what damage had been
done, and everybody was ready to hy
into a panic. The boats were lowered,
and then for the first time the two
evangelists, who had been forgotten in
the saloon, appeared ON deck. They
wore their overcoats and their hats,
and they carried rugs and handbags.
They elbowed their way rudely to the
rail, with the evident intent OF secur-
ing for themselves first places in the
boat. 1t was just at time when a
breath would have sent the passengers
panic stricken into the boats.
The sight Of the two evangelists was
about to undo the work Of cool headed
officers when a pert little cockney
stepped up to the gentlemen with the
rugs and handbags.

cap, Gave a cab, sirT'

In one of his addresses Sunday DR..
Tufts is quoted as saying that Sunday
base ball and other recreations should
be prohibited by law. We believe
he will tlnd large majority Of Idaho
people opposed to Puritanical laws
which would deprive them of spend
ing the Sunday in enjoying leglti-
mate sports and other recreation, such
as base bali, picnios, fishing, hunt
ing and such pleasures. We want
no blue laws, and should legisla-
ture be silly enough to pass them,
they would simply remain a dead
letter ON the statutes. Church peo-
pie have right to spend their Sun
days as strictly as they please, bat they
must also concede to Others the right
TO spend the day as they deem beet.
A proper observance OF the day, with
general business suspended 80 that
Gil may have one day Of rest during
the week, is conducive to health, In
the interest of society and generally
recognized as necessary; but to make
II a day when the views of one class
should force big majority to oh
serve 1t in their way, is contrary to
human rights and individual liberty.
The trouble with Or. Tufts IL that he
goes to extremes with his reforms.

RisIra on Valuable Mail.


The proposed reforms by Postmaster
General Meyer, together with the oc-
easlonal straylng or total loss of maIl
pouches, make timely the information
that the United States government by
no manner OF means stands liable for
ali losses suffered by patrons of tho
malls. 1t is only fair to say that when
II comes to the transportation of valua-
bles the express companies have
much cheaper and safer service. The
express company gives a receipt with
q guarantee limiting the amount of
guarantee by the amount Of charges
paid. In case of registered packages
the government does agree to make
good a loss up TO $25 IN case the sender
Of the lost package proves that amount
OF value. Under certain conditions the
guarantee may DO raised to 500, but
much formality Is required, and in view
Of the rates Of postage on parcels
namely, 10 cents per pound, or "a cents
for a four pound package--the advan-
tage seems In the long run to be with
the express companies,
Registered mail is cheap, and where
prompt delivery as well as security is
desired both ends are often attained by
patronizing this service. In the case
OF ordinary mail the government as
sumes no responsibility whatever. A
letter dropped into box or a slot In
intrusted to the service without condi-
ton or obligation. For the postage
paid the United States undertakes to
transport the packet to Its destination
and to deliver 1t into the hands Of the
addressee or his agent II losses occur

DON MIGUEL HIDALeo.
Tragic Fate Of the Hero Of the War Of
Independence.

Tragic Fate OF tne nero OF tnS WET "
Independence.
One OF the dates which Mexicans
celebrate In the most solemn manner
Is that Of the death Of HIdalgo, the old
priest who, being In his eighties, dared
to face the colonial government and
started the revolution which ended In
the Independence Of Mexico.
Hidalgo was SHOT in the early days
of the war of independence. 1t is well
known that he asserted on different
occasions with the strong firmness Of a
prophet that he was too old to see the
end Of the fight and that he would be
sacrificed before the end. He started
the rebellion at dawn on the 10th Of
September, and for the first days he
found no serious opposition on the
part of the Spanish troops. His first
journeys met with great success, and
in a very few days he was at the head
of a large army, and 1t seemed as IL
nothing could resist him.
He attacked GuanaJuato and In a
few hours took the city. He then
marched in the direction OF the capital,
and when he arrived at Las Cruces, in
the mountains which bound the valley
Of Mexico ON the southwest, his army
numbered more than 100000 men. The
Spanish troops faced him at Las
Cruces, but were defeated.
Hidalgo could then have attacked the
city and taken 1t without great effort,
but he turned back, however. Histo-
rians have discussed this action, and
almost all of them admit that his hest,
tation and his final retirement after
victory was great mistake and re-
suited In the continuation Of the war
for ten years longer.
Still 1t is said that Hidalgo was NOV
ed by humanitarian idea. His army
had no discipline. 1t was merely a
mob that in GuanaJuato after the tri-
umph had stained its banner with rob
berry and disorder. He feared that this
mob, intoxicated by triumph, would
fall on the City of Mexico and repeat
the scenes of Guannjuato.
He retired, and then defeat began.
The Spanish forces were organized
anu AN-GhAOANChI ulNi ~ tic DaAlC llluo
dissenslon started In the insurgent ar
my. Hidalgo was defeated at Calder
on and marched north, pursued by the
Spanish troops. At place known as
Norias de BaJan he fell into an am
buscade and was captured with many
Of his companions. He was taken to
Chihuahua, where he was shot on the
Both Of July, 1911.
The head Of Hidalgo was cut Off and
placed in an iron case at one of the
corners OF the Granadltas fortress,
where he had obtained his first great
victory. From there 1t was taken
twelve years later, when the war was
ended, In 1923, and brought to Mexh
co, being placed in one of the affairs

Wavea Of waAar.

Waves are deceptive things. To look
at them one would gather the impress
sion that the whole water travelled.
This, however, is not so. The water
stays in the same place, but the mo-
ton goes on. In great storms waves
are sometimes forty feet high, and
their crests travel fifty miles an hour
The base Of a wave (the distance from
valley to Valley is usually considered
as being fifteen times the height OF
the wave. Therefore a wave twenty.
