T.ANGIER, January 23-The British
consul has gone to Larache with the ran
som money. said to be 100000, for the
release of Gen. Sir Harry MacLean. from
the hands OF the bandit chief Raisuli. A
settlement is expected next week.
Gen. Sir Harry Audrey de MacLean.
kaid or chief in the service of the Sultan
of Morocco, and colonel of that monarch's
bodyguard. was captured by Raisuli the
brigand. in the Djebil Beni Hassan. a
range of mountains in the neighborhood
of Tetuan, July ), 1907 The brigand
held the kaid in revenge, as he said. for
the bombardment of his house at Zinat.
rive hundred thousand dollars ransom
was al first demanded. but Raisuli later
consented to accept a fraction of this
amount.
Sir Harry MacLean was born in 1S4S.
He formerly served in the Goth British
regiment of infantry. In 1901 he was
made knight commander OF the Order
of st. Michael and st. George for serv-
ices rendered in the British government"
He is married. his wife having been Miss
Catherine Coe. He has lived in Tangier
for a long time. acting as the "subroSe''
representative of British interests at
court. 1t was as reward for his serv-
ices i'll this connection that he was given
his title of sir
Raisuli the King Kidnaper
Raisui became world character
through his feat in kidna ping Ion Per-
dicaris, a wealthy American resident In
Morocco, in 1904. He detained Mr. Per-
dicariS for about two months by which
time the sultan. prodded by the United
States. scraped together the ransom price
of $4,000, and the prisoner was released.
Shortly after this Raisuli headed a re-
volt against the sultan. and was so sue
cessful that the latter compromised the
quarrel by making the briganI governor
of several OF the mountain tribes. For a
while, in the early part of 1905, times
were a little quiet, but Raisuh contrived
to keep his hand in by kidnapping for ran
som few Belgians and Frenchmen. Be-
fore the end of the year he had assumed
the governorship of Tangier. had pro-
claimed a holy war. threatening TO drive
cember IL. had ordered the withdrawal of
the foreign warships in the harbor.
The then diplomatic corps aroused itself
and compelled the sultan to depose Raj
suii. The brigand became a fugitive
among the wild tribes of the desert. the
sultan having placed a price upon his
head. Raisuli Joined forces with Blu Ha-
mara. the pretender to the Moroccan
throne who had a large force in the field.
Negotiations between them and the sui
tan were in progress when they took Sir
Harry MacLean prisoner

COLUMBUS, Ohio, January 23-In an
editorial in his newspaper last evening
former Lieut.. Gov. Warren c. Harding

Satisfaction Over Hughes Advent
Into the Race.

Outside OF strictly administration circles
satisfaction continues undated over the
advent of Gov. Hughes into the race. IL
is admitted on all sides that if he carries
New York state with him to Chicago it
means a fairer contest and a freer chance
for all Ii is thought probable that IL
he is ndorsed by New York Secretary
Taft will be second choice of the Empire
state Tor President.
Republicans in Congress declare thai
Gov. Hughes candidacy does not by any
means foreclose Secretary Taft's chances
u simply means that some one other than
Secretary Taft will be allowed 10 get into
the running. IL is sad not to be beyond
the range OF possibility that deal can
he arranged with Taft or some one else
for first place and Gov. Hughes as his
running mate. Old timers in politics say
that Gov. Hughes could not take umbrage
AZ being relegated TO second place: he has
hardly served his apprenticeship in ma
tiona] politics and they say he could we'll
afford to stand in line a while.
IT is said that unquestionably if upon
he first ballot at Chicago no one candi-
dates comes within reasonable distance
OF the majority Gov. Hughes will he a
commanding figure and that all the candi-
dates vii want 70 dicker with him. Sew
eral weeks ago there was talk OF a
ticket of Cannon and Hughes or Fair
banks and Hughes either of the two vet

THE TRUE AUUHOR
OF that Beautiful Poem "If I Should
Die Tonight Is Belle E. Smith
Not Rider HaggaYd

We noticed in last Saturdays
issse of the Register and Leader a
very able production frem tho Pc.
of Mrs. Rhoda Lyman Crsvslisg
Of Audubon. The object Of the ar
ticio was to help prove the author.
ship of that beautiful poem, eff I
Should Die Tonight" written by
Miss Belle b. Smith, formerly of
Newton, Iowa, but now of Passe-
deaa, California. The poem was
written in 1872 snd later appeared
ia one of Rider Hagg.rd's novels
without proper credit being givex
the rightful author. Miss Smiths
old friends, of whom Nrs. CYevolinR
is ono. took up the matter in her
behalf, hence the interesting letter
in last weeks Register and Leader.
The following is the poem uader
discussion: go
"If should die tonight
My friends would look upon my quiet
face.
Before they laid it in its final resting
And deem that death had left it almost
fair;
And laying snow white flowers against
my hair
Would smooth it down with careful
tenderness,
And fold my hands. with lingering
carress,
Poor hands, so empty and 30 cold
tonight.
If I should die tonight
Ny friends would call to mind with
Some Kindly deed the icy hand had
wrought,
Some neg gentle word the frozen lips had
Errands on which the willing had sped;
My hasty words would all be put aside,
And so should be loved and mourned
tonight.
If should die tonight
Even hearts estranged would turn once
more to me; ,seI
The eyes that chill me with averted
Would look upon me as of yore, per
chance,
For who could war with cold uncon-
scious clay?
SO might rest, forgiven of ALI tonight
Oh, friends pray tonight
Keep not your kisses for my dead cold
brow,
The way is lonely; let me feel them now.
ny fat sny Of are .h
Forgive! oh, hearts e.tranged; forgive

The tenderness for which I long

WONDERFUL MEXICO
J. I. Nichols, Editor Of The Chris
tian Union Of DeS Moines Tells
of His Remarkable Trip

Mexico is land of thousand won.
ders. Its history is shrouded in mys.
terry. Hundreds if not thousands of
years before Columbus discovered A.
merica great and prosperous cities
whose civilization is the wonder of
the twentieth century dotted the plains
and decked the mountain sides of this
land of flowers. Buried in the forest
are the ruins of prehistsric city
which 1t is said was ten times larger
than New. York, and three times the
size of London. Even Corbsx VIXEN
he Conquered Mexico 400 years ago
never dreamed of it's existence. Nc
book ever mentioned these ruins and
there ia not even a tradition known to
mao today concerning it. Some have
reasons to believe it was built by
Christians about the third century
aud others think it was older than
Pompeii and Herculaneum. One wri-
ter says OF the temples discovered in
this city the greatest is called "The
Palace" 1t is a pyramid nearly 50
feet high with base of 300 by $50 feet
The walls are cut by Ia arched door
ways feet apart 10 feet wide running
up to pointed archways; within the
walls are a number of courts the lar
gest of which is nearly 100 feet square.
The floors are covered with stucco
moulded or carved into curious Fl.
cures and hieroElyphics. 1t is said
there are many of these temples and
the carvings are wonderful to behold.
Who knows but that in the genera
tons yet IN orn will arise some one
who will discover 'rosetta stone"
and give to the world the history OF
this prehistoric city.

No More Dark Brown SUGAR.


"You have no idea" said the wife

difficult it is to MARE molasses cookies

it will have the same flavor that n
had in the days now past. And whyl
Because 1t is wellnisht impossible to
find the good old-fsshioned dark-brown
sugar. That's the secret Of it. There
was time when one could get differ
ent grades OF brown sugar, that which
was least refined" being very dark
and vastly sweetsr than the light
brown or &c" sugar, as 1t used to be
called. But those days have passed,
and I suppose that never again will
my cooking taste quite 80 good.
"Of course the younger people
those who have never known the e0
quisite flavor Of molasses candy and
molasses cake made with the DARK
sugar. cannot realize the difference
Happy mortals they! AS for myself, ]
am constantly looking for the sugar Of
my childhood, and there is not week
but l have my hopes raised by some
