sPAlN,s SUMMER CAPITAL.

San Sebastian, the summer CAPT.
tai of Spain, is a growing seaport
city and the capital of the Basque
province of Guipuscoa, in which
Carlist sentiment is believed to be
strong. The city is situated on the
peninsula at the base of a steep hill,
which is crowned with one of the
strongest castles in Spain. The
shore along the roadstead is most
beautiful and many thousands of
visitors are attracted to the place
every year. The king has a fine pal
ace there, known as Mirawar, and
the court is often transferred to it
during the hot weather.
San Sebastian has undergone nu-
merous sieges, the most memorable
of which was in 1913, when a
French garrison of 5000 men held
the city for time against the duke
of Wellington. The English loss in
the siege was 5000 men, and on its
capture the greater portion of the
place was burned.

FLOATING FORTS AS UGFENSE
Novel Scheme Proposed for Protec-
ton Of Three Of England's
Ports.

A novel scheme for the defense of
Sheerness, Portsmouth and Devon
port, three of England's principal
naval ports, against the attacks OF
hostile torpedo craft is at present
under the consideration of the Brit
ish admiralty.
There are at present in the navy
a number of old battleships which
are practically useless for war pur-
poses. 1t is proposed that some of
these vessels shall be converted into
floating forts.
All the heavy guns and if neces-
sary also the machinery would be
removed. The ship would then be
equipped with. large number of
4.7-inch and 4-inch quick-fring
guns. 1t is estimated that some of
the vessels could easily mount from
60 to so of these weapons.
1t is pointed out that a ship
armed with so four-inch guns hav-
ing 40 on each broadside, would be
able to keep up fire from each gun
of ten rounds minute. Even if
the attacking craft could not be
seen, it is doubtful if one boat in
twenty could live through such a
rain of shot long coough to enable
it to do any damage As the float
ing forts would be equipped with
powerful search lights there would
be little chance of approaching boats
being unobserved.

The man in the last seat of the

"See that?" he asked the man

The other man looked. A SIX

'What of it :" he asked.
"For one thing" replied the first
speaker, lit painfully illustrates the
good old couplet, ooh, what a

other man asked.
"Nothing of the sort. Entirely in

see it. Then | realized that she
would demand to know what it was,
and would probably borrow the
neighbours paper to find out. So |
hid the paper and pretended it

"WeIl, what on earth was the item
about"
The man with the paper chuckled
and proddcd the other mans knee.
"Wc've got feeble old rubber

miserable item was headed, "A Sure

WOMAN AND TRUE HAPPINESS
Love and Children and Little Repub-
lie Of the Home Depend on Fa-
vor Of Man.

Apart from the crude economic
question the things that most wom-
en- mean when they speak Of chap
piness," that is, love and children
and the little republic of the home,
depend upon the favor of men, and
the qualities that win this favor are
not in general those that are most
useful for other purposes. A girl
should not be too intelligent or too
good or too highly differentiated in
any direction. Like a ready-made
garment she should be designed to
fit the average man. She should
have "just about as much religion as
my William likes" The age-long
operation of this rule, by which the
least strongly individualized women
are the most likely to have chance
to transmit their qualities, has given
it the air of natural law. Though
the lady has generally yielded it UNI
questioning obedience, she often
dreams of land like that of the
Amazons, where she might be judged
on her merits instead of on her
charms. Seeing that in the world
woman's social position, her daily
food, her chance of children. depend
on her exerting sufficient charm to
induce some man to assume the re-
sponsibility and expense of main
tanning her for life, and that the
qualities on which this charm de-
ponds are sometimes altogether I'M
attainablc by given woman, it is
not surprising that exceptional wom-
en- are willing to eliminate from
their lives the whole question OF
marriage and motherhood, for the
sake of free development, irrespcc-
tive of its bearing on the other
sex.-Atlantic.

ONE ON PALLAS.

Mayor Bussc of Chicago told at a
LAWYERS dinner a lawyers story.
"Pallas Phelps" he said, "was a
wcll-known character of the Chicago
If the '40s. Pallas was nondescrlpt
sort of lawyer. He got on somehow.
Occasionally he pleaded and won a
case. But he never had all office.
His lack of an Office was one of the
standing jokes Of the Chicago bar.
'"There were no paved streets in
the Chicago of those days, and one
morning, after a rainfall, when the
roads were unusually filthy, Judge
Butterfeld and Phelps met at a
crossing.
"'Good morning, Pallas,' said the
Judge, as he tiptoed through the
black mud. You haven't swept

WHERE MEN GET SHORTER.

A singular result of the expert
mcnts Of DR.. Angelo Mosso on the
physiological effects of high alti-
tudes is that mountain ascent may
produce such a flattening of the
lumbar curve that man may be an
inch and half shorter on the sum-
NIT of Monte Rosa than when he
is in the valleys beneath. The
height Of Monte Rosa, the second
lofticst peak of the Alps, is 1926
feet. The cause Of the shortening is
partly the exertion of climbing. The
human stature always diminishcs

A Master of the Art of News.
Letter Writing.

"
correspondent OF The Chicago Re-
cord-Herald. probably has more
enviable position and is read by
more men and women daily than
any other newspaper writer in the
United, States. He can go any
where in the world and write on
any live topic that he chooses, SO
long as he interests his hundreds Of
thousands of readers. He has
travelled several times around the
world and written entertainingly
about almost every country under
the sun.
Every day in the year, without
vacation or intermission, Mr.. Cur
tbs has a two-column letter in The
Record-Herald. The remarkable
thing about these letters is their
power to interest all classes Of
readers. Women read them with
the same enjoyment as men.
Whether the subject be politics,
travels, new kink in the Monroe
doctrine, an interview with the
newest money king or the personal
history of an Egyptian mummy.
the story is always told with "a
limpid simplicity and an unfailing
sense of interest that keeps one
reading to the end. No other cor
respondent now living can match
the record of Mr.. Curtis as a pop
ular purveyor of timely and useful
information. Whether he writes
from his home in Washington or
from the wilds Of the Caucasus,
from the gay streets OF Paris or
some remote temple in Persia, he
always has something fresh and en-
tertaining to tell.
Mr.. Curtiss began his newspaper
career in Chicago as a reporter in
1872. speedily became. managing
editor, resigned to serve as secre-
tary of a government commission
sent to South America, and fulfilled
his duties so brilliantly there that
Secretary James G. Blaine placed
him at the head of the new bureau
of American republics. He is al
most as widely known in South
America and Europe as in the
United States. At the world fair
il Chicago he was the executive
head of the Latin-American de-
partment. He is member of al
most every learned society in Wash
ington and many in Europe.
Nobody outside of The Record
Herald office knows under what
flag Mr.. Curtis will next be hang
ing up his hat, but everybody
knows that, whether it be in Pata-
gonia or Kamchatka, he will find
something interesting to write
about. Merely to read his daily
news letters is liberal education.
He does his full share toward max
ing The Chicago Record-Herald
the best home newspaper in the
West.

Memorable Battle.

Twenty years ago the memorable
battle between the Indian police
and Sitting Bulls followers took
place about IS miles southwest of
Mclaughlin on the Grand river.
Sitting Bull was killed and his fol-
lowers fled southwark. The Indian
police lost six killed and one
wounded. The dead bodies of
these and of Sitting Bull were tax
ell to Fort Yates by way of Oak
Creek crossing two miles north of
here and the log cabin where they
stopped over night at this point
still stands. Out Of 43 police en-
gagged 70 have since died. The re-
manning IS had a council with Ma
jor Belden at Fort Yates Monday,
passing thru here on their way up
there. Lieut.. Bullhead killed Sit
ting Bull with a revolver after he
was shot himself and died soon al
ter. The followers of Sitting Bull
returned soon after and are now
considered among the most peace
able and prosperous on the rcser-
walton. -McLaughlin Messenger.
