unhindered by the police, swept
through the city, wrecking the

The people rounded up all the

Castro from the clubs and other
semi. public buildings and burned
them with rejoicing on the Plaza

In spite of Hollands warlike

Further dangerous demonstra-

THE MEN AND THE MONUMENT.

In conversation at Lancaster
recently with one of the loyal
and active members of the Ian
caster chapter of the Daughters
of the Confederacy she informed
us that the order for the monu,
ment to Lancaster's dead heroes
who participated in the struggle
tor States rights, had been let
for $4,000, and that only $4,000
of the amount was in hand, leav-
ing $500 still to be raised. Cou.
pied with the statement was the
question "Don't you thiuk
the men Of Lancaster county viii
contribute that sum-" Of course
we could not say anything but
yes And we believe they will.
These good women, noble, per
severing, untiring in their zeal,
have, by their work in season
and out of season, eXemplified a
devotion to cause and patriot
ism and heroism in spirit uneX-
celled even by the heroes whose
memories they have sought so
nobly and so bravely to perpet
uate. They are the worthy de-
scendants of as brave an ancestry
as ever lived, and shall not the
men of the county prove just as
worthy the name of sons? Yes,
the men of the county will con-
tribute the needed 5000; we are
quite sure they will. All they
need is to have the matter brought
to their attention in the proper
manner.-The Kershaw Era.
We heartily endorse the sugges-
tion that the men in Lancaster
ought to contribute the sum of
$500 needed to pay the remain
der of the cost of the Confederate
monument to be erected here.
The noble Daughters have done
more than their share and it is
now up to the sons OF Veterans
and other patriotic citizens to
lend a helping hand. We have
no doubt but that the money
can be raised if an organized
movement is started for that
purpose. Who will take the
lead? Whatever is TO be done
should be done quickly.

Hitherto | have thought that travel
ing by carts over stony roads and stay

hardest thing a foreigner travelling in
China was called upon to endure, but
since T have travelled with a caravan
of Games | have changed my opinion

travelling the cold night with no other
company than dull Chinese, who seem
TO sleep while walking alongside the
camels or while sitting on their backs,
and being weighed down by heavy
sleepiness is the worst thing l have
endured.
You sit on your horse and, in spite of
every effort, fall asleep. Presently you
wake up and find yourself on the
ground, with your horse standing be-
wildered at your side, wondering
whether you are alive or dead Then
you try to keep yourself awake by
walking and talking bit to the camel
drivers, but you soon find that they
are just as sleepy as yourself. A few
words are exchanged, and then you
are too tired to open your mouth to
talk or even to think Of anything but
sleep, sweet sleep. Oh, for just few
minutes there at the roadside In the
soft sand! But, no; you must go on
and fight against this desire. 1t is too
dangerous to sleep by the roadside on
the ground. The caravan cannot wait
and your servant would not watch
eyer you. He would soon fall asleep
Nike yourself. The wolves would then
have an easy time.
Yet In spite of all this reasoning you
feel as If you were drawn to the
ground by the power Of thousand
strong magnets and soon yield to sleep
again. Suddenly your Watcnru horse
whose reins you have kept slung
around your neck-this is wise thing
to do-pulls up, starts and jerks you
wide awake. You jump up, not know
ing where you are for some seconds,
but you see your horse trembling and
realize that danger is near.
For a few minutes you are fully
awake and feel glad and refreshed.

Sheep as Beasts of Burden.

In the northern part of India
sheep are put to use unthought of
in European or American countries.
They are made to serve as beasts of
burden. The mountain paths along
the foothills of the Himalayas are
so precipitous that the sheep, more
surefooted than larger beasts, are
preferred as burden carriers. The
load for each sheep is from sixteen
to twenty pounds. The sheep are
driven from village to village, with
the wool still growing, and in each
town the farmer shears as much
wool as he can sell there and loads
the sheep with the grain which he
receives in exchange. After his
flock has been sheared he turns it
homeward, each sheep having on its
back small bag containing the
chased grain.

In New York street a wagon

his boys grinding steadily at their
