EDITOR THE CHRONICLE
/ still have hopes that my historical
museum scheme may get start. some
time, so write to suggest for thought,
the following ideas:
Why would it not be possible for the
!" Daughters Of the Revolution" the
ssSons of the Revolution,' the Co
lonial Danes and the Grand Army
to combine their forces in getting a
building, in which they all, and each
of them could have separate meeting
rooms, with enough space left over for
the start of my museum. The G.. A.
r. will not long need a post room,
when that could be added to the
museum, along with the relics now in
their possession.
l feel certain no comrade would OBJ
jecb to that being done, SO long as the
relics remain here.
/ am willing to do my share, but
have not strength enough TO carry the
work of such movement, who OF our
younger men will take hold?
Yours truly,
j. G.. VAIL.

be considered q deserter from the ex-
isting government. To avoid this oblo
guy he would be on certain day at
a certain village midway between the
government and the inSurgent forces,
and Mancha could send out a dozen or
so mounted men and capture him.
Sonora Valdez was to secure Mancha's
promise to permit the secretary and
herself to take passage for the United
States with 100000 of the 100000,
the remaining 100000 to go to the
cause of the revolution"
This was very nice and looked like

Now, Sonora Valdez did not propose
to have her husband give himself up
until she had swept those handsome
but keen eyes of hers about her and
learned something of the situation.
The revolutionary army at that par
ticular point consisted of between 100
and 200 men, and with view to insur-
ing her husbands safety she made up
her mind to capture It, ! don't mean
that she, a woman, would take so
many men prisoners, but she would
win them to do her bidding in case of
need. She didn't work openly before

The esclus.ve,ess Of Caste.

An English oi.irer who some years
ago was wounded In Il battle in India
and left lying nil night among the ma
tive dead and won ted tells this story:
Next morning W" spied man and an
old woman. who rame to us with
basket and a pot Of water, and to
every wounded man she gave a piece
of joaree bread from the basket and a
drink from her water pot. To us she
gave the same, and thanked heaven
and her. But the Soobahdar was a
high caste Rajput, and, as this wom-
an was a Chumar. or of the lowest
caste. he would receive neither water
nor bread from her tried to per-
suade him to take 1t that he might
live, but he said that in our state, with
but a few hours more to linger, what
was a little more or less suffering to
us-why should he give up his fate
for such an object? No; he preferred
to die unsolluted."

A friend of mine who had been Unit

we were smoking on the deck Of a
steamer on our way from the isthmus
to New Orleans:
You've lNard of the Mancha family,
I suppose, who did a bigger business
at revolutionizlng than any lot Of men
who ever put out the sign "Revolu-
tions" In Central America. Well, Juan
Mancha, the oldest brother, was head
OF the firm and was the keenest the
foxiest rascal Of the lot. His eye was
always ON the loot, but he had the fac
ulty of playing patriot with more emo
tional accomplishments than any revo-
lutionizer In Central America. | was
consul at Costa Rica when Juan Man
cha engineered the revolution of IS
and knew all about the story of Dia2
Valdez, the secretary of state, who
finally went over to him with a satchel
containing half a million dollars.
Mancha had got most of the people
on his side and had stolen enough
money to send to New Orleans for a
cargo of arms and ammunition. He
would have appropriated this find to
himself, but it wasn't enough. He was
not a small dealer In revolutions, but
a big one, usually aiming for some
thing like a million or two. But he
was in need of more funds when Val
dez, thinking that he was sure to win,
concluded to go over to him.
Sonora Valdez was a mighty pretty
and mighty bright woman. She had
been a great coquette before Valdez
married her and hadn't outgrown the
habit, though you'll see from what I'm
going to tell you that she was true to
her husband. Well, Valdez told his
wife one day that Mancha was sure to
win in the end and that they'd better
arrange to go over. He suggested that
she go to Mancha and tell him that her
husband was ready to join him with
