SIMON BOLIVAR.
Stormy Career Of the Man For Whom
Bolivia Is Named.

Bolivia, the South American
country, gets its name from Simon
Bolivar. The land has had as
stormy a history as did the liberia
tor who assisted in making it a re-
public in 1925. Bolivar had been
writing his name large in South
American history for a long time
before that date, however, earning
for himself the title Of the wash
ington of South America" Simon
Bolivar was born in Caracas, Ven
ezuela, in 1888 Of noble and
wealthy family. He studied law in
Spain, Travelled much in Europe,
married and returned TO his native
country. In 1909 he visited the
United States on his return from
another journey to Europe. 1t was
at this time thst he became an en-
thusiastic admirer Of republics and
made up his mind to free Venezue-
la from Spanish despotism. From
that time on war was his portion.
In 1913 he entered Caracas as
conqueror, was hailed as the liber-
ator Of his country by the people
and made absolute dictator in civil
and military affairs. He met with
reverses, however, at the hands Of
the Spaniards, and it was during
a period Of defeat on the continent
that he eonvoked a congress in
Haiti, instituted a government and
abolished slavery there. That was
in 1916. Thereafter he was sue
cessful against the Spaniards in
South America, and in 1919 at An
gostura, Venezuela, he was chosen
president with the power of dicta-
tor. When New Granada united
with Venezuela he was made the
first president. BY 1922 the new
republic was completely cleared of
royalist troops.
Bolivar was summoned the same
year to help the Peruvians and in
1924 was named dictator of Peru.
BY 1925 the Spaniards were driven
out of Peru also, and Bolivar, call
ing a congress at Lima, formally
resigned the dictatorship. Soon aft
er that the southern part of Peru
was erected into a separate state
and named Bolivia, and he could
have been dictator for life. Howev-
er, troubles in Colombia kept him
busy. Venezuela broke away from

MoonIioht and Clear Skies.

1t is well established that the
moons aerial envelope must be ex-
tremely thin, if it exists at all,
and consequently the heat received
by the lunar surface from the sun
must escape into outer space al
most as rapidly as it is received.
1t follows, therefore, that at the
end Of the long lunar night the
temperature of its darkened sur
face must fall 900 degrees or more
below zero. while its surface when
Illuminated by the sun must be ice
cold. Our most delicate thermome-
tiers exposed to the radiation Of a
full moon fail to show any appreci-
able rise of temperature. Never
theless there is reason to infer that
the radiant heat from our satellite is
sufficient to dissipate to some de-
gree the higher and thinner cloud
forms Of the earth, so that scien-
lists hold that there is some con-
6rmation Of the popular belief that
moonlight clears our skies.-New

SIGNALING BY SMOKE.

manches of Texas.
"The Life of a Fossil Hunter
by Charles II. Sternberg, tells many
nm incident of life among the In
dams of the southwest. The au-
thor's search for specimens led him
among the Comanches of Texas, a
tribe that has preserved much of its
original wildness of life and charac-
ter. This gave him chance to find
rare survivals in native usages.
Among other things he saw how
the Indians sent messages by their
old method:
"About nightfall crossed Cache
creek and saw at my right in a
bend of the creek an elevated
bench on which a tecpee was
pitched. There were two Indians
standing about, one large, feshy.

with large, prominent cheek bones,

Of children ran out to meet me.

uneasy at being so entirely alone

cook me one of them for supper.
This she proceeded to do.

"Aftor breakfast, as started out
for the trail, boy of fourteen
walked out with me and stood talk
ing, with his hands tangled in my
pony's name. At our feet the path
divided and encircled a little mound
Of earth covered with buffalo grass.
When the boy had finished the Gig
arctic he was smoking he threw
the still burning stump into this
dead grass, which was damp with
dew and which sent up dense COL
umn of smoke.

yet when presented my letter to
Major Guy Henry in the Office at

question he asked was, Did you

The Misjudged Turk.

The Turk is greatly misjudged
and misunderstood throughout the
whole of Europe and especially in
England. The average Turk is a
gentleman in the full sense Of the
word-hospitable, courteous in de-
meanor and an excellent father 30
his children-comparing most IA
vorably with the British, German
and American paterfamilias. All
that, however, l should add, is pro-
vided he is in no way interfered
with in religion. The merest sus-
picion on that point makes him
the most fanatical and bloodthirsty
creature on earth. He simply for
gets that he is human being. He
says-and | have heard it often
that before his nationality, before
anything, he is a Mohammedan.
Whether rightly or wrongly, he be-
lieves that the moment a child is
born an invisible hand writes on the
infants forehead his ultimate end
and an unseen and irresistible pow
er-kismet (fate)-takes him by
the hand for its fulfllment.-Wide

His Engagement Ended.

Jones-NO, Robinson; / was en-

Robinson-Well, Jones, between
you and me, now, you are a lucky
boy. She's rich, of course, but that
is all she has to recommend her.
Jones-Yes.
Robinson-And then her money
is only prospective, you know. Her
father might lose it all before the
daughter got to handle it.
Jones-That is true.
Robinson-Well, that's the way 1

her myself.
Jones-You could!
Robinson-Its a fact, but |
counted the cost and drew out just
in time. Fortunate, wasn't it?
Jones-Very.
Robinson-But tell me how you
managed to break off the engage
ment. Mine hadn't quite gone that
far.
Jones-I didn't break it off.
Robinson-Oh, she did it herself,
did she? But perhaps l ought not
to say anything about it. I sup
posed, of course, you broke it off
yourself, as she was so anxious to
marry. Everybody knows that.
Jones-Oh, you needn't apollo
gize. Pm not worrying at all about
It.
Robinson-Thats good. like to
see a man keep up his spirits. Might
l inquire what made her break
it off!
Jones-0h, she didn't break it of
either.
Robinson-Well, that's strange.
Then it must have been her father.
Jones-No; he had no objection.
Robinson-Then how did you
manage to get out of the engage
ment?
Jones-I married her last week.
Robinson with a gasp)-Ah-h-h!
Well, l must really be going now.
Goodby.

Queer Counting.

All the counting is done by the
women of Ukraine, Russia. When
q girl falls in love with a man she
goes to his house and tells him the
state of her feelings. Ii her affec-
lions are reciprocated a marriage is
arranged. If, however, Barkis is
not willin' she remains in the
house, hoping to coax him into re-
garding her suit with favor. The
poor fellow cannot treat her with
discourtesy or turn her out, for her
friends would be sure to avenge the
insult. If he is really determined
that he won't have her his best
plan is to leave his home and stay
away as long as she remains in it.
Thus man may be turned out Of
house and home.

THE grass is green on Bunker Hill,
The waters sweet In Brandywine.
The sword sleeps In the scabbard still.
The farmer keeps his flock and vine.
Then who would mar the scene today

THE brave corn lifts In regiments
Ten thousand sabers in the sun.
The ricks replace the battle tents
The hammered tassels toss and run.
The neighing steed, the bugle's blast,
These be but stories of the past.
THE earth has healed her wounded

The cannons pillow the field no more.
The heroes rest. oh, let them rest
Fin peace along the peaceful shore!

They sleep In peace. and all Is we'll.
