WIND AND WAVE
HAVE CHANGED BEACH

The continuous shifting of the wind
in the past few weeks has wrought
many changes in the contour of Wal
XXI beach, particularly in front of the
Seaside and Moana hotels. First of
all the great sand bank just between
the two hotels which keeps the stream
water backed up much of the time has
been washed away and the gap greatly
broadened up to the lawns of the Moana
and 'Outrigger club. The sand bar which
used to be directly in front of this
gap has shifted Ewaward and is now
in front of the Seaside.
The high bank of sand fronting the
entire Moana property has been Quilted
out and has almost undermined the
row of hau trees which were being work
ed into an arboI. The roots on the
sea side are al exposed and the sand
is gradually crumbling away. There
is sheer drop directly in front of the
benches Of three feet. The cement
pillars under the end of the dining
room have been exposed to the foun-
dations.

PUTS BABIES ON DEFENSIVE.
Writer Calls on Them to Give Rea-
sons for Their Admission to
the Country.

We desire to call attention to .
fragrant violation Of one Of our most
important statutes.
Under our immigration laws, no,
alien can land in this country who
has no money and no capacity. II he
comes from foreign store. he must
be identified and duly passed upon.
Z What lis really happening? Every
day, nay. almost every minute, In this
country babies are being born who
really have no right tosenter our do
main. Not only this, but they are
calmly allowed to be here and not the
slightest protest is made against
them.
1t is true that recently some effort
has been made to discourage their
presence. But this Is by private indi-
viduals, and not by the authorities.
Every baby comes here from for
eign shore. He is vagrant. Why.
he hasn't even clothes on his back.
In large percentage Of cases he is
sickly, and ought to be kept out by
quarantine authorities, If by no one
else.
These intruders ought to be guar
anteed under the pure infant act, or
else they should be promptly shipped
back to the sender, with instructions
to at least provide them with the ne
cessities OF life before they land
among free people.-Lippincott's.

Young Chicagoan Tried to Secure
Money From Varsity Students.
Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City. April "a. - Representing
himself as Robert Gross, Irving B.
Chittenden, of Chicago, attempted to
secure money from the members Of the
Delta Tau Delta fraternity, here, to
aid him in his return to his home in
Virginia" The local students, warned
by letter from the Pennsylvania
chapter. nabbed the CRATER, and he
spent Thursday night in the local Jail.
When he was confronted with the
evidence showing he was a fraud,
young Chittenden broke down and con-
fessed that he had palmed himself eff
on college men from Texas north, maxi
ing them believe he was a member of
different fraternities, thus securing aid
in money, transportation, etc. Chitten-
den confessed that at Lincoln, Neb.,
he had passed himself off as member
of the Sigma Chi fraternity, and was
not caught at the deception for several
days. The young man is we'll dressed,
apparently cultured, and his story of
receptions is easily believed. Chitten-
den has wired his father at the Del
Prado hotel, in Chicago, and has been
promised assistance.

VETERANS TRIBUTE TO LEE.
Most Impressive Scene Of the Civil
War Was That After Surrender
Of Appomattox.

Men who saw the defeated general
when he came forth from the chamber
where he had signed the articles Of
capitulation say that he paused q
moment as his eyes rested once more
on the Virginia hills; smote his hands
together as though in some excess OF
inward agony, then mounted his gray
horse, Traveller, and rode calmly
away.
It that was the very Gethsemane Of
his trials. yet he must have had
then one moment Of supreme, If
chastened, Joy. AS he rode quietly
down the lane leading from the
scene of capitulation, he passed
into view Of his men-of such as
remained of them. The news OF
the surrender had got abroad and they
were waiting. grief-stricken and de.
5ected. upon the hillsides. when they
caught sight of their commander on
the gray horse. Then ensued one of
the most notable scenes of the history
OF the war. In an instant they were
about him, bareheaded, with tear-wet
eyes; thronging him, kissing his hand
his boots, his saddle; weeping; cheer.
ing him amid their tears; shouting his
name to the very skies. He said:
Men. we have fought through the war
together; have done my best for you;
my heart is too full to say more."-

ional Bank next year. Preliminary
preparations for such a structure are

Baby Boy Wore a Mask
Over His Little Face
Hands and Arms Tied Just Between Life and Death
Another Wonderful Cure by Hoods Sarsaparila

GEARING, Maine, March g. 1909.
&C. I. Hood Co., Lowell Mass.
"Dear Sirs: In our home we have so much
reason to be thankful for Hoods Sarsaparilla and
Hoods Olive Ointment, that must freely tell
you our experience with these medicines.
'When my baby was four months old his
face broke out with small patches of eczema.
The doctor said baby would soon be all right, but
he steadily grew worse and at sixteen months of
age, baby's face, hands and arms were in dread
full state. The eczema seemed to be spreading all
over his body. His face was so sore, and such
dreadful sight, we were obliged to put a mask
or cloth over his face, and we were obliged also
to tie up his little hands and arms with cloths
to prevent him from scratching, and making the
infamed places bleed. The disease also affected
his eyes, and we were afraid he would lose his
eyebrows and eyelashes entirely. We consulted
other doctors, used ointments and salves sent us
by friends and neighbors Some of these things
would seem to have little effect, but after few
days would act like poison, and increase this
terrible stubborn disease.
"Just one year ago this month baby lay be-
tween life and death. The doctor had told us
he could do no more, and we felt that we must
give up trying to find any cure or relief Our
hearts were just breaking, and we had the SYM
pathy of many friends and neighbors who knew
Of our affection. Finally my husband said one
day, am going to try Hoods Sarsaparilla

Caught a Baby Whale.

whale ever caught by British traw.
Ter was landed at Grimsby the other
day by the King James. 1t was
brought up in the trawl net in the

inches long and three pounds three
ounces in weight-that the fishermen
could not realize that it was whale
until an expert certified the fact.
The local officer for the board O,
fisheries secured this specimen
which could not have been calved
more than three or four days, and i'm.
