PAYER OF SUCCESSFUL REVOLu- r,oN IS HAILED AS SAVIOR
 sY EXCITED PoPULAcE. !.
FEW OF HIS ARMY THERE
r4ort Is Made to Keep Federals and Maderists Apart Until Quiet Comes - Federals
 pugnacious.

Mexico City, June S.-Amid the widest enthusiasm, Francisco l. Ma dero Jr entered the seat of the gov ernment which he overturned.
 The extensive preparations probably will make the demonstration the big gest known in the old capital since Diaz. as a conquering hero, entered at the head of his revolutionary army on November 24 1876. to be proclaimed provisional president.
 But Madero has not more than a corporals guard of his army here.
 The government decided that 1t would be too hazardous to have Ma derist soldiers here, as the federal sol dlers are quite willing to knock chips of their shoulders on the slightest excuse. The idea of the government now is to keep the federals and Ma derists as widely separated as possi- ble. Madero will have to go to Cuer- nayaca to review the army of the south in order to make up for their disappointment in not coming here.
 Alter @ reception at the national pal ace by provisional President De la Barra and the members of his cabinet, Madero and his party will be escorted 10 the residence which has been pre- pared for his stay in the capital.

Hope for the sleepless Ones.

There is hope for the sufferer from insomnia. An Englishman has invent ed sleep inducing instrument which he calls a spectascope. The instru- ment consists of a pair of flat goggles or black concave discs, on which two white spots are so placed as to cor respond to the position of the eyes.
 All the sleepless one Is supposed to do is to sit down in a chair or lie down in bed and look steadily at the two discs, which of course become one, apparently. The field of vision is now concentrated and reduced to its minimum, and according to the in- ventor a delightful sense of drowsi- ness creeps over one which results in glorious natural sleep.
 The spectascope is intended to be used in room lighted either by day light or soft night ielst. The mono scope, variation of the spectascope, meets the need of those who wish to sleep soundly without light. It is placed over the bed in such a posi- tion that the eyes are compelled to turn upward to concentrate on 1t, and sleep is induced after short time.

The rewards for the return of the
stolen portrait of Mona Lisa offered
by various newspapers have added to
the gaiety of the situation, even if they
have not relieved it, says Current Lit
erature for December. A sketch shows
a frightened guardian of the Louvre
rushing into the Office of the Conserva-
tor crying that. since the announce
ment of a prize Of million and i'm
munity. the Raft of the Medusa'' and
the Marriage at Cana" have rnys-
teriously disappeared. Someone writes
to one of the papers that he is a waiter
who has stolen the picture and will re-
turn it for 200. 900 francs. The obvious
comment is that he at least is not in
favor of the suppression of the pour
boire- It can't be a waiter, says an
other hum orist; he would have carried
away the glass. The Paris Journal, by
it's offer of reward, does get back, not
Mona Lisa indeed, but two antique
statuettes, stolen two years ago; which
leads a cartoonist to depict Louvre
guardian with the statuettes in his
game-pouch calling to one of the
famous police dogs that now nightly
roam the galleries, and that, in the
picture has Mona Lisa" in his mouth,
Lay it down, sir These dogs, an
other paper hopes, will not devour the
game pictures in the watches of the
night The return of so many missing
articles of art under the spell of re-
ward or fear, has led some to call for
the opening of a new gallery-the Hall
of Restrictions. A certain deputy is
represented as complaining because
the Louvre is now closed so much, as
a belated measure of precaution, and
is promptly classed as another parti-
san of the open door" The most
CHASTITY joke of this class-if joke it be
is that of an unknown who writes to
Figaro Offering for 100000 francs to
return the picture, one-half at q time!
The thief promises to produce the
lower half first for $4,000 francs Gin
English gold). This will convince the
experts of it's authenticity, and he will
furnish the upper half for $4,000
francs The cut is to be made with
very sharp instrument that is guaran-
teed to leave no mark when joined
The shudder with which the editor re-
plies that he would gladly give re-
ward to ensure that the famous smile
should remain un-bisected, is shared
by anyone who reads of the project.

EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON.

w, men the Pilgrims instituted Thanks
giving Day they meant that on that day
special thanks should be given to God
Everyone Knows that. and presumably
everyone with intelligence enough to re-
cara the day as something besides an op-
portuntty for overeating does that
May suggest an additional observance?
Don't you think 1t would be a grand idea
10 mage today your Thanksgiving Day to
g1ver-that is, to give thanks to those you
love Tor some of the innumerable kind
nesses they do you, and which for the
cept as matter of course?
For 1nStance-there's father On three
hundred and sixty-four days of the year
you probably take his daily self-denial of
all the luxuries he might have had for
the sake of bringing you up, as a matter
Of OF course-a sort of debt he owes you for
bringing you into the world. Suppose to-
oay you go to him and give him thanks
ana tell him you do appreciate that it
means sacrifice to him to smoke a nine
instead OF the cigars he used to be so
fond of, to dine at cheap restaurants and
wear shabby clothes and to give up that
belonging.
Then there's mother. Perhaps on three
hundred and sixty-four days of the year
you take most of her little day-by-dav
services as a matter of course You are
so used to having her sew in the ruching
press the ties, mend the trousers or press
out the gown for the party, that you have
come to regard these things as just part
OF her duties as a mother. Suppose today
you surprise her by going to her and Civ
ing her thanks for all these dear services.
Mention them one by one and tell her how
splendidly she performs them and reas-
sure her of that truth which you surely
must have told her many times before
that she is the very best mother that ever
happened to an undeserving son
daughter.
Suppose you have a bad temper-you
know 1t and try to control it, but don't
always succeed. And suppose your little
wife for the most part bears very patient
~ with your outbursts. Ordinarily you
have taken her forbearance as a matter
of course Would it not be well today to
go to her and thank her for that forbear-
ance?
Suppose you have a very faithful en-
ployee. Ordinarily, You accept his SER
vice as something you have paid for and
should have. In the bottom of your heart
you know you can't wholly pay in money
for such splendid service. Suppose you sit
down today and write him a few words,
telling him so and thanking him for his
faithfulness. And then-but enough. You
know yourself what are the kindnesses,
the services that you take a matter of
course on all the matter of course days of
the year.
could God be better thanked or Thanks
giving Day better observed than by your
giving thanks to your neighbor for some
of these?

Money has seldom talked in a more
forceful fashion than it does on a pho
tograph postcard which has been pro-
duced by the genius of F. D. Coburn,
secretary of the Kansas department of
agriculture. In the background of this
photo is a bank of alfalfa grass from
which project some crisp bank-notes
of varying denominations. In front is
a sack of alfalfa meal resting on a
pile of alfalfa seed. Scattered around
the sack and through the meal are
several twenty dollar gold pieces.
Sticking out of one corner of the pile
of seed is a check for $3.50, which rep
resents the value of the alfalfa seed
that a Kansan can harvest on a few
acres And this photograph is labeled
'.AIl kinds of money in alfalfa, out
here in Kansas Secretary Coburn de-
scribes the picture briefly as follows:
These are the original Hayseeds. and
their product as grown s'Out there in
Kansas on a million acres. No other
state equals Kansas in Alfalfa raising
This little card conveys more clearly
the possibilities of alfalfa culture in

of self-consciousness made her very
charming.
When finally she insisted that she
must leave, the storm had advanced
to point which made her return
difficult; and Sandy, alive at last to
the danger of the situation, knew he
must get her back, or subject her to
the kind of gossip that went the
rounds of the little town. In her
attitude toward him and he read only a
desire to be a good friend. But the
world would not believe this, and the
gossips would have it that she was
running after him.
Yet he dared not leave his post.
the night was coming on and his first
duty was to the light
He explained to her. IT am going
to have Piper go with you he said
IF anything happens that you can't
get through you must send him back
to me, and I will come, even if 1 have
to leave the light"
So away she went with Piper, a
little reluctant, at her heels. Sandy
watched her until the falling flakes
shut her out Then he went back to
sit, by the fire and dream of her as
she had sat opposite him at the table.
1t was late that night when Piper
came back alone. To his collar was
fastened a note, in which little Sue
said that she had reached home safe
ly, that she was none the worse for
her long walk and much pleased with
the memory of her happy day.
Sandy turned the note and put it
away with his mothers picture and
the Bible his father had given him.
After that he always stopped in to
see little Sue when he went into
town - he made his loneliness and
hers his excuse. She greeted him al
ways without self-consciousnes and
seemed to put him on basis of
friendship which made it impossible
to talk of love.
But the day came when Sandy per-
sisted in talking of love. He told
Sue of his own loneliness. 1T doesn't
seem that I ought to ask you to live
out there with me and Piper and the
light" he finished awkwardly, but I
want you so much
Little Sue studied him gravely 81
am glad you told me-" she said, "but
I am not quite sure that 1 want to
marry. 1 shall have to think about
it, Sandy.
And she did think about 1t and,
when the next Thanksgiving came,
she cooked Sandy's dinner in her own
home beneath the great light. and
Sandy and Piper. in adoring attend
anee, watched her and loved her, and
repaid her by their devotion for all
the loneliness of past years. Copy
