The Builders.

All are architects OF Fate,
Working in these walls OF time;
Some with massive deeds and great
Some with OF rhyme.
Nothing useless Is, or low;
Each thing in its place Is best:
And what seems but idle show
Strengthens and supports h rest
For the structure that we raise
Time is with materials filled:
Our to-days and yesterdays
Are the blocks with which we build
Truly shape. and fashion these:
Leave no yawning gaps between:
Think not, because no man sees,
Such things will remain unseen.
the elder days Of Art,
Builders wrought with greatest care
Each minute and unseen part:
For the gods see everywhere.
Let us do our work as well,
Both the unseen and the seen;
Make the house where gods may dwell,
Beautiful, entire Il clean.
Elese our lives are incomplete,
Standing in these walls OF Time,
Broken stairways, where the feet
Stumble as they seek to climb.
Build to-day, then. strong and sure.
with a firm and ample base;
And ascending and secure .@.
Shall tomorrow find its place.
Thus alone can we attain
To those turrets where the y
Sees the world as n vast plain
And one ~boundless reach OF say.

KING FORBIDS SKIRT
DANCING AMONG OFFICERS
OF CRACK REGIMENT

London, July liking Edward has
just absolutely forbidden what he calls
one Of the most inane exhibitions he
has ever heard of. Several officers Of
of the rack regiments in London
recently went in for skirt dancing, en-
gaging the services of an eminent pro-
fessional teacher of the art, and O few
days g sent out invitations to all
their friends to a forthcoming exhibit
ton Of their latest accomplishment.
One of the invitations came into the
hands of his majesty who Immediately
made personal inquiries and finding
that 1t was no joke but that it was
placed his ban upon 1t. "
The officers who are concerned are
quite indignant over the fact that their
little affair has been interfered with
and many Of their friends, who believe
with them that skirt dancing Is a COM
mendable activity for an army officer,
join with them In a guarded condem-
nation OF the kings action. One of
the army men points out that he has
been practicing under the professional
coach twice O week for more than
three months. 1t Is said that the cos
tunes which were to be worn at the
entertainment have already been
bought from a well known French shop
In Leicester Square, which supplies
professional dancers with their dresses.
The elaborate outfit of a second lieu
tenant who was expected to make a
sensation by his agility and skill is
said to have cost $500.
No one In England takes a lark bet
ter than the king, but he dislikes to
see a man play the fool. 1t is said that
his telegram to h senior officers of
the regiment concerned f%orbidding the
performance. contained a severe repri-
mand from which they will not recover
soon.

COL. SMELLS HEIR
SUED FOR DIVORCE

Goshen, Ind, July Mrs. Thomas
Thornton Smell, who was known on the
stage as Harriet Standon." and whose
real name before her marriage was
Harriet Fagberg, has brought suit for
a divorce from her millionaire husband.
Miss Standon was playing Violet, with
Richard earle, in The Storks" at the
Majestic theater in Boston in 1908
when h left the company to become
SHELLS wife. The Smells live at Elk
hart, in this county, where the hus-
band, who is 80 years old, is vice pres
ident of the st. Joseph Valley bank.
He is also vice president Of the First
National bank at Gary; is the chief
figure in q dozen big northern Indiana
enterprises and has an income of $780,
900 a year from his grandfather, Col
onel Thomas Smell, late of Clinton, ILL.,,
the recent breaking of whose will
brought out the most degrading testi-
mony as to the vices of the old man.
Mrs. Smell charges cruel treatment
and declares that her husband neg
lected her in order to give his atten-
ton to young ome Of the stage. It
is pointed out hat h now finds her
self in the position occupied a few
years ago by the first Mrs. Smell, when,
as a stage beauty she, as Miss STAN
don, diverted Smells attention from
his own h~earthstone. Smells first wife
was Miss Gertrude Sherwood, the 16-
year-old daughter of a wealthy Grand
Rapids family, whom he met at a
summer resort and quickly married.
Soon after the wedding "Thorney"
Smell, as he is called, say Miss Stan
don on the stage of the Dearborn
theater, Chicago, and sought her out.
It is said that he followed her COM
pany from city to city and eventually
made an arrangement with his wife
by which he could be free to wed his
new divinity. The divorce involved
the payment of heavy alimony to Mrs.
SherWoOd-Snell.

THE EXPERT SHOEMAKER.

The expert shoemaker Is In his way
a sort of Sherlock Holmes; he can tell
by looking at a customers shoes some
thing about where the customer lives
and this not by mud on the shoes or
the absence of 1t, or any such common
place evidence as that. but by the MAJ
ner in which the shoes show wear. But
he is not infallible.
Here, for instance. Is a oma who
wears the soles of her shoes very thin
up at their forward end, at their very
tips, there, at the toe; and to her:
You live in the country" says the
shoe expert.
mo" says the woman, Il live in the
city. Why did you think I lived in the
country"
Because your shoes ere worn sc at
the toes. I though you walked on mac
adam roads"
So here the expert slipped. mis!ed IN
this case by not making due allowance
for 6 habit of these shoes wearer; but
usually he can tell

HARD TIMES BLAMED
FOR MEXICAN REVOLUTION

+. FL Paso, Tex, July 1.-Fffteen hum
dred troops have arrived in Torreon,
Coahuila, as reinforcements for the
garrison at that point. 1t Is reported
Matamoros, Coahuila, about Is miles
from T%orreon, and that Americans are
sending their families away from there
as rapidly as possible.
Two hundred men of the 18th battal-
lion, Mexican infantry, arrived in Juar-
eZ. In Chihuahua patrols are stationed
in the streets and public buildings and
the Jails are guarded heavily.
According to c. w. Patten, a mining
expert, who arrived from Torreon,
funds for the incipient revolution In
northern Mexico have been furnished
by a wealthy ranch owner near Sal
tillo.
Although no recognized leader has
arisen" said Mr.. Patten, in an inter-
view, ut is generally understood that
q wealthy ranchman living near Sal
tillo, the capital of the state of Goa
hula, is furnishing the funds 'and has
personally taken the Held with III in

advance as arguments in support of the
insurrection alleged overtaxation by the
federal government, made more onerous
by failure of crops, the Two combining

Business, he declared, was at a stand

AT stations along the line from Tor
reon to Juarez there were assembled
great crowds of excited ELexicans. At
many Of the stations along the route
municipal. officers had been sworn in
as police to guard banks and railroad
stations.
The policy of the government, &C
cording to Mr.. Patten, is to %effectual-
ly crush the uprising before 1t can gain
any further Roadway and prevent any
desertion of troops who might go over
should the revolutionists develop sufh-
Gent strength to give hope of any sue
cess in their movement. Mr.. Patten
said that the eldest son of the presi-
den, Major Porfirio Diaz, tr., has been
quoted as saying that the government
would lose no time In crushing the up

MEXICAN TROOPS
RUSHED TO FRONT
The Mexican Situation Looks
Worse Than at Any
Previous Time.

City Of Mexico, July 1.-The inter
national troubles in Mexico, which de-
veloped several days ago along the
northern border OF the republic, have
brought out serious features.
Today's storm centers around the
city Of Torreon and in the country be-
tween hat place and Jaral, where
bandit bands are operating In con-
junction with the insurrectionists.
Government troops are rushing to
the scene. Already 1900 federal SOL
diers have reached Torreon to rein
force the garrison there. Two hundred
more have reached Juarez. In Chi
huahua soldiers are p~atrolling the
streets; the public houses and Jails
are heavily guarded.
1t is believed by the Mexican gov
eminent that the revolutionary move
ment is fomented by a band of agita-
tors, who long have made their head
quarters in the United States.
. On this ground, it is believed, Am
bassador Enrico c. Creel, when he
reaches Washington, will appeal to
the United States to authorize assist
ance In apprehending the revolution
lists .,a .
After having recently been granted
q long leave Of absence, Ambassador
Creel has been directed to proceed to
Washington Immediately.
