carrying by the required two
thirds majority.
Any person who followed the
debate in the senate over the
Sutherland amendment, and read
the able and telling fight Mr.. Bor
all put up against the obnoxious
amendment, could not but be con-
vinced that he had the right end
of the proposition, and that the
amendment was introduced with
anything but an honest and hon
orable purpose.
Therefore the paper which CIV
es coloring to the covert insinua-
ton that Mr.. Borah, or any Of
the other friends and defenders
of this laudable measure, placed
a Joker" in the original resolu-
ton for the purpose of working
its defeat, gives grounds for SUI
spicion that it has some person
al feeling in the matter, and is
using it's position as an avowed
friend of the desired legislation
to make more effective and tell
ing its attack upon the gentle
man whom it wants discredit.
Now this may be a wrong conclu-
sion, if so the Globe would be
pleased to change its opinion on
the presentation of convincing
proof to the contrary. But when
the Statesman makes the above
quoted thrust, and then virtually
confesses to the fact that it knew
it was untrue when it made it,
as it does in the following para
graph in the same article, it must
be admitted that it lays itself
open to the charge of doing a
little bushwhacking for the pur-
pose of evening up some person
al grudge. Under the most char
liable view of the matter, at least
it is lending aid and comfort
to the enemies of the cause
which it advocates. 1t says:
"These reasons, (referring to
the above mentioned Joker
and the detrimental results charg
ed thereto) however, appear to b
more in the nature of excuses
than anything else. Those who
have given study to the situa-
ton and who have closely anal
yzed the results, feel that the de-
feat of the resolution was due ia
two other causes" which it gives
as:
First-The attitude of Unit
ed States senator's who desire tC
retain their seats but who know
they cannot do so through pop
ular elections.
"Second-The attitude of Unit
ed States senator's who continue
to worship the fetish Of the pas
and who cannot align themselvei
with progressive ideas.

abs course will attempt to iden
tify him with either of the tw,
classes of senators which tn,

CHAPTER XXI.
Politics Under Cover.

To a woman, the romances she makes
are more amusing than those she reads.
-Theophile Gautier.
It seemed quite correct for the
daughter of our secretary of state to
call to inquire for the health of the
fair Sonora Yturrfo, and to present
the compliments of Nine. Calhoun, at
that time not in the city of Wash
ington. Matters went so smoothly
that felt justified in suggesting lit
tie drive, and Sonora Yturrio had no
hesitation in accepting. Quite natural
ly, our stately progress finally brought
us close to the residence Of Miss Cal
houn. That lady suggested that, since
the day was warm, it might be well
to descend and see if we might not
find a sherbet; all of which also
seemed quite to the wish of the lady
from Mexico The ease and warmth
of Mr.. Calhouns greeting to her were
such that she soon was we'll at home
and chatting very amiably. She spoke
English with but little hesitancy.
Lucrezia Yturrio, at that time not Ill
known in Washington's foreign colony,
was beautiful, in sensuous, ripe way.
| Her hair was dark, heavily coiled, and
packed in masses above an oval fore
head. Her brows were straight, dark
and delicate; her teeth white and
strong; her lips red and full; her chin
| we'll curved and deep. A round arm
and taper hand controlled a most art
| full fan.
Mr.. Calhoun expressed great sur
prise and qualification that mere
chance had enabled him to meet the

conservative estimate. In view of the
fact that several million barrels
flowed into the Buena Vista river and
thence to the TuXpam river and out
to sea, going to waste in this manner,
an accurate estimate of the total out
put cannot be given. But that this
big estimate is not far wrong is shown
by the fact that approximately 8,00O,-
600 barrels of oil from this well have
been saved and are now in storage.
One earthen reservoir covers more
than As acres of ground and is more
than 80 feet deep in the central por-
ton. 1t now contains 100000 bar
rels of oil. Other smaller reservoirs
are full of the product and an army OF
men are kept constantly at work con-
structing additional storage places for
the unremitting flow.
The market value Of the crude oil
at the we'll is 81 Mexican money or so
cents gold per barrel The value Of
the daily output is therefore more
than 100000 gold Or nearly 100000
per month. Even at the present rate
of flow it is found impossible to save
all of the oil, and many thousands OF
dollars worth Of 1t goes to waste each
day.

BEE STING FOR RHEUMATISM
iIooser Farmland Sufferer Tries He
roic Treatment and Says
It's Great

Owensville, Ind-That bee stings
have healing and curative qualities is
vouched for by James Cross, farm
hand who suffered with rheumatism
in the toes Of one foot. He was told
that a bees javelin would chase
away the rheumatic pains and he tried
it. He captured twenty-five bees, put
them in a tight paper box, cut an
inch slit in one end, through which he
poked his toes, and waited patiently
for something to happen.
When the imprisoned and thorough
ly angered bees saw five human toes
in front of them something happened
very quickly. SINGERS dashed at the
toes in great haste. Cross made ugly
faces and writhed but stayed with the
game. At the end of two minutes the
bee battery had exhausted it's ammuni-
ton, but when Cross attempted to pull
his toes out of the box he found they
had swollen to three times their nat
ural size.
The slit in the box was far too small
and he was forced to cut the box to
pieces before he could release himself.
Did the remedy cure the rheuma-
tism?" he was asked.
We'll, I can now do the Isadore Dun
can toe dance to a queens taste, as
oil signs of rheumatis pains in my toes
have disappeared, he replied.

You come now to me with proof
that my lady baroness traf1ics with
Mexico as well as England" he re-
sumed THAT is to say, Yturrio
meets my lady baroness. What is the
inference? At least, jealousy on the
part of Yturrios wife, whether or not
she cares for him! Now, jealousy be-
tween the sexes is a deadly weapon if
we'll handled Repugnant as it is, we
must handle it."
I experienced no great enthusiasm
at the trend of events, and Mr.. Cal
houn smiled at me cynically as he
went on. II see you don't care for
this sort of commission. At least,
this is no midnight interview. You
shall call in broad daylight on the
Sonora Yturrio. If you and my daugh-
ter will take my coach and four to-
morrow, I think she will gladly re-
ceive your cards Perhaps also she
will consent to take the air of Wash
ington with you. In that case, she
might drop in here for an ice. In
such case, to conclude, may perhaps
be favored with an interview with
that lady. I must have Van Zandt's
signature to this treaty which you
see here."

Zandt is leader Of the Texans, their
