Estrada's Invasion of Honduras.

Gen. Zelaya at once sent a force under
Gen. Juan Estrada, now leading the rev.
olution in Nicaragua, and captured the
entire Caribbean coast line Of Honduras.
This occurred just after Gen. Boniila.
thinking himself secure, had released
Policarpo Bonilla. Manuel Bonilla fled to
Mexico and thence 10 British Honduras.
where up to the beginning of his last rev.
dictionary attempt he has lived as a
planter. Lee Christmas also made his
escape from Honduras and took up res
idence In Guatemala.
After his victory Gen. Zelaya deter
mined to restore Policarpo Bonilla to the
presidency of(Honduras. but in the mean
while put Senior Miguel Davilla into the
Office as an expedient. Davilla. having
tasted power, found ii to his liking, and
despite threats and promises by Zelaya
has contrived to hold on to the Office ever
since. His tenure has been a difficult
and stormy one.
The Latest Revolt.
The latest Honduran revolt was fore
seen when Lee Christmas several months
ago visited New Orleans, accompa MED
by two prominent supporters of Gen.
Bonilla, and made a large purchase of
arms and military stores Shortly after
ward he and then his supplies arrived In
Honduras, and there began active prepa-
rations for the revolt that took place
last month.
Lee Christmas was once an Illinois
Central engine driver, but left this .coun-
try when he lost his position with the
railroad on account of color blindness.
He has figured in every upheaval that
has occurred in Honduras in the last
fifteen years, and has been repeatedly
wounded both in battle and by assassins.
He has a wife and child living in Men,
ptjs. Tenn.
The army raised by Manuel Bonilla and
Lee Christmas is the best drilled and
equipped that has ever stood behind the
leaders of a Central American revolution.
It is said to have large amount of arms
and stores secreted in various parts Of
Honduras.

Great Soldiers Quick Thought.

Once during the Iron Dukes cam
paign in the Pyrenees, 1t happened
that Gen. Picton's dispositions for re-
ceiving the assault of Marshal Soult
displeased him. The danger threat
ened from in front, and the difficulty
lay in delaying the attack until We'll
lington could effect the change he
wished. He was, as usual, equal to
the occasion. Waving his hat in the
air, he galloped to the front of a regi-
ment as if he meant to order a charge.
The whole of Picton's line cheered tre-
mendously, and as the roar died away,
Wellington was heard to remark, half
to himself: "Soult is a cautious COM
mander, and will not attack in force
without ascertaining the meaning of
these cheers. That will leave time
for the Sixth division to come up, and
we shall beat him." This was exactly
what happened, and Soult sustained a
bloody repulse where he might have
won an easy victory.

A little later, Mr.. Van Torp was
looking out for a chance to speak
alone with Lady Maud, and as soon
as he found his opportunity he told
her what Stemp had said. Strangely
enough, it had never occurred to him
that such a remarkable beard as Kra-
linsky's must have taken a long time
to grow, and that Leven, who had
none, had not left London more than
three months ago. He watched the
effect of this statement on his friends
face, but to his surprise she remained
grave and sad.
81 cannot help it," she said in a
tone of conviction. He must be
Leven, whatever Stemp tells you about
his beard"

Torp, with at least equal gravity.
"Stemp says that's impossible, but he
must be wrong, unless you are"
IT'S real" Lady Maud said, "and
he is my husband. I've talked to him
my life that no one else could, and if
there r others about which he is
vague, that must be because he is
pretending, and does not want to
show hat he knows everything"
Van Torp shook his head, but re-
manned unconvinced; Lady Maud did
not change her mind either, and was
already debating with herself as to
whether it would not be really wiser
to speak out and tell Kralinsky that
she had recognized him under his
transparent disguise. She felt that
she must know the worst, if she was
ever to rest again.

Baraka, a Tartar girl, became enamored
of a golden bearded stranger who was

vicinity of her home in central Asia, ana
revealed to him the location of a mine
of rubies hoping that the stranger would
love her in return for her disclosure.
They were followed to the cave by the
girls relatives, who blocked up the en-
trance, and drew off the water supply,
leaving the couple to die. Baraka.s cousin
Saad, her betrothed, attempted to Gimp
down a cliff overlooking the mine; but
the traveller shot him. The stranger was

arrived at Bayreuth. Van Torp believed
him to be the one Baraka was pursuing.
Baraka was arrested in London on the
charge of stealing from Pinney, a jew

How to Incrose a Stamp.

There's only one decent way to in
close a stamp for a reply" said the
head of a large business, land that is
use one of the stamps from the out
side rows of a sheet with a blank mar
gin that can be stuck upon the letter
and leaves the stamp ready for use.
Any other way either loses the stamp
or else spoils it for use. But 1 found
to-day a trick that is pretty good.
Most people inclose the stamp by
sticking it down at n corner, and
then you have to paste that corner
down when you use the stamp. The
new trick is to wet the stamp in a
little space in the center and stick it
there. 1t pulls off easily, yet when
you use the stamp all the edges have
gun enough to ck.'-Farm Ma

find many are and vel valuable

thrown into the hamper by the man
who shot them on the chance of his

TEACHERS SALARIES AGAIN.
This County Now Pays Less Thar
Some Others.

Editor Reflector: have just read
last Saturdays issue of the Reflector
containing the article written by Mr.,
Tyler the principal Of the Abilene
high school for 1909-10, relative to
a letter issued by the county superin-
tendent of Dickinson county advising
the district school boards Of that
county to pay inexperienced teachers
not more than $35 or $40 per month.
know nothing Of the letter except
as It IL related in the article written
by Mr.. Tyler. II 1t Is as there repre-
scented, It is certainly most surpris-
ing letter. In the face Of steadily
rising wages in all lines Of occupa-
ton and a general shortage Of teach
ers in the state, the county superin-
tendent is recommending a savage
cut In the wages of nearly one-third
of the teachers that sets things back
nearly ten years. It might be well
for the people and the young teach
ers and the school boards to know
something of what is occurring III
other counties of the state In the
matter Of teachers salaries. In King
man county last year the average sal
airy Of the teachers in district schools
was S55 per month. This year It win
be more. The graduates Of the nor
NAL training course in the Kineman
High School are now being employed
at from $50 to s55 per month. Near
ly all the counties in the state are
reporting shortage Of teachers to the
state superintendent If in Dickin-
SON county there is a large surplus Of
teachers and greatly reduced wages,
II is safe to say that It is a great ex-
ception to the state at large, and in
a way not much to its credit.

TAFT AND LABOR.

The New York Evening Post, thu
leading Independent paper of tn,
country, says this:
president Taft's fine record OF
the political demands of organized
labor Is made still more admirable by
his attitude towards the proposal Ia
exempt trades unions, from the equal
working Of the law. In voting money
for the attorney general to enable
him to prosecute violations of the
antitrust act, a proviso was inserted
by the House that no part of the sum
granted should be used in prosecut-
ing conspiracies of the nature Of la
Dor boycotts. Against this tricky
and odious class legislation, the pres
ident set himself firmly; and when
the president Of the Locomotive En-
gineers sent him telegram protest
ing against using the peoples money
to prosecute labor In its attempt to
better conditions Mr.. Taft replied in
a manly and absolutely conclusive
manner that is beyond praise. More
over, he exerted himself to such eff
feet that the House receded from Its
action, SO that the bill passed with
out the clause attempting to set the
trades unions above the law of the
land as declared by the Supreme
Court. The president uttered the
thoughts Of many hearts when he
asserted that It would be improper
legislation" to exempt any class, poor
or rich, from the impartial applica-
ton Of the antitrust law. If the
proposal were simply to amend the
law itself, that could be fairly de-
bated; but the attempt to nullify It
must be resisted. President Taft sets
this forth with great clearness and
force. The politics Of the business
evidently did not concern him in the
least; he merely spoke out his hon
est conviction. As he desplsed the
swords Of Gompers all through the
campaign OF 1908, so now he shows
that he is not to be swerved by any
threats about losing the labor vote.
This latest dellverance Of his will
deepen the personal impression
which the president has been making
In these last weeks and must lead
many to echo the Hosea Biglow ex-
rIamation: BY Time, l du like a fell
Ter that amt Feared"
Yet cheap politicians like Rees
are bowling that Taft is "gold

The Republicans Of the dlb-

Gle.
This remarkable confession OF
Rees' weakness by one Of his strong
est supporters two years ago shows
how the tide Is turning from him be-
cause Of his attitude toward the pres
ident. In an open letter recently he
attacked President Taft and said:
1.-THE people feel that they have
been deceived and that their trust
has been betrayed, and that we (the
Republican administrator have
handed them a political gold brick"
The Chronicle is right at last. The
Republicans of the Fifth district will
never send Rees to congress. The Re-
publicans Of this district want q
congressman who will work with the
presldent-not one who opposes him.
Mr.. Calderhead is well known as
standing closer to the president than
any congressman in Kansas and has
heen hia hearty supporter in all the
work Of congress. We congratulate
the Chronicle on Its realization at
last that 1t is that kind Of congress
man the district wants not one who 10
