quesa galley'-we quote from Com
mander Currey's Sea Wolves In the
Mediterranean"-"was lying in his
bed, sick of a fever, a young man
twenty-four years of age, a Spaniard
of Alcala de Henares, the son Of hon
orable parents. we are told, although
these parents were poor. When this
young man heard that a battle was
imminent he rose from his bed and
demanded of his captain, Francisco
San Pedro, that he should be placed
in the post of greatest danger. The
captain and others, his friends, coun-
seled him to remain in his bed.
'Senores,' replied the young man,
what would be said of Miguel de
Cervantes should he take this advice7
On every occasion up to this day on
which his enemies have offered battle
to his majesty have served like a
good soldier, and today l intend to do
so in spite of this sickness and fever
He was given command Of twelve sol
diers in a shallop and all day was to
be seen where the combat ragged most
fiercely. He received two wounds in
the chest and another which cost him
the loss of his left hand. To those
to whom he proudly displayed them in
after years he was accustomed to say.
Wounds in the face or the chest are
like stars which guide one through
honor TO the skies OF him the chron-
icler says. He continued the rest of
his life with honorable memory of
this wonderful occurrence, and. al
though he lost the use of his left
hand. 1t added to the glory of his
right How glorious was that right
hand is known to all readers of Eel

Nevada has out-prugressed all other progressive states in it's new law re- lating to the modus operandi of in flicting capital punishment. The doomed may elect to be hanged. shot or self poisoned. In case he chooses the last named way out of the world. the prison physician will kindly in He will then he left alone in his cell to execute the order of the court. It was a bright intellec, that suggested this method of capital punishment People generally will regard this sui eide arrangement as abhorrent. The motive of the author of the law and those who passed it is not less in- teresting than the law itself. That way cf inflicting capital punishment would never have suggested itself to normal minded man. We suspect that the author is one of many legis- lators in Nevada as elsewhere who are striving after something different rather than after something excellent It is this tendency on the part of legislators that give us so many freak laws. But the Nevada act is the ghastliest of all

That Old Mother of Yours

What about that old mother of yours? She's worked hard all her life to get you to place where you can help yourself Everything she has done for you has been a labor of love. How about what you can do for her? Are you doing it. or are you allowing her to live out her life in lonliness and discomfort because you haven't | been brave enough and honest enough tu pay your debt?
 It may be that she had to work out the problem of supporting, educating and raising you all alone. It may he that she made every sort of sacrifice to give you your chance and for that reason has lost step with the progress of women Perhaps she hasn't the little eleGancies of manner that make women attractive. Perhaps she wouldn't shine to any great extent in an assemblage of people
 or it may be that with your father she worked hard to accumulate some thing against the time of old age and at the same time tried to give you d real chance in life. It may be that these people thought that when they were old they would enjoy the results of their years of toll and sacrifice and that you would add zest to their enjoyment.
 As soon as you reached maturity. however. you began to look around. as was quite natural. for your mate and prepare to make a home nest of

 Not only is the United States the second largest consumer per capita but the total amount consumed an nually is much greater than of any other country, aggregating. as above indicated. more than 7.000,000. .000 pounds d year. against about 4.0o0. 000.O0O pounds in England and about 5000. .OOO.OO pounds in Germany.
 About one-haIf of the sugar con sumed in the United States is brought from foreign countries about one fourth from our own islands and the remaining one-fourth produced in this country The total production of SUI gar in the United States now amounts to one and three quarter billion pounds a year. of which more than billion pounds is beet sugar and about three quarters of a billion cane sugar.
 It is only recently that the produc ton of beet sugar in the United States has come to exceed that of cane sugar In 1900 domestic produc- tion of cane sugar. was twice as great as that of beet sugar. and twenty years ago was more than sixty times as great. but the growth of beet su- gar production has been very rapid in recent years. and in 1907 for the first time exceeded in quantity that produced from cane and has so con tinucd since that time
 The sugar habit is evidently a growing one with the people of the United States and probably with those of other countries, since the total world production of sugar. including all countries for which statistics are available. has increased 90 per cent in the last ten years and about double in fifteen years. In our own case the consumption has shown rapid growth, the per capita consumption having been in 1880 forty pounds. in 1890 fifty-one pounds. in 1900 fifty nine pounds, and in 1910 approximate ly eighty-one and d half pounds

OUR NATIONAL SWEET TOOTH.
1t Makes Us Eat Twice As Much Su-
 qar As We Did 90 Years Ago.

The people of the United States consume half their own weight in sugar every year. If we take the quantity of sugar produced in the United States and add to this the quantity brought from our own isl ands and the quantity imported from foreign countries and subtract there from the amount exported. we get a grand total of considerably more than 1000. .000.0 900 pounds consumed in the country
 By dividing the population into this grand total says the Bakers Weekly, we get an average of S112 pounds per capita, speaking in round terms. for 1910, and about a like quantity for 1909 Taking the total consumption and comparing it with the total pop ulation in the section known as con tinental United States. the average yearly consumption of sugar is found to be about S1I5 pounds per capita
 In fact the people of the United States are larger consumers of sugar per capita than those of any other country of the world except England for which the latest figures show a

Then there came d day when your father died. It was an unexpected blow from a clear sky He had all ways intended making a will leaving everything to your mother. for you and your brother and sister had had a big share of the home property in the gifts he gave during his life time and he felt he could trust your mother to do what was right when it came time for her to dispose of the remain der by will. But the moment he died you began to speculate upon a division of the property and finally the ap- praiSers came and each of you got another slice and your mother got the remainder

Congress.

The Democrats are about to find
out that it is one thing to teach
school, and another thing to sit in
the back seat and throw peanuts.
Assembling in response to the call
of the President Tuesday, Congress
began its work with the Democratic
majority harmonious and determin-
ed on the following program;
Revision downward of the tariff,
schedule by schedule, the number Of
schedules opened to be determined
later. 1t will be determined bv the
action of the senate. The wooden,
textile, cotton and steel schedules
are assured.
Canadian reciprocity tariff agree
ment.
Arizona and New Mexico consttu-
tion, under which they are admitted
to statehood.
Popular election of senators.
Publicity of campaign contribu-
tions, before as well as after elect
ions.
This program is subject to chang
es in party caucus, but it is believed
by the Democrats that if all goes
well with them as they can reason
ably hope, the program is lengthy
enough to hold them until well into
the summer.
The Democrats will have 222
members in the new house, as
against lac Republicans, and of the
latter there are between thirty and
forty insurgents 1t is not possible
now to determine the exact number,
as the two factions are in dispute as
to their relative strength. With
this majority the Democrats, if they
are able to hold their forces to-
gether, will have comparatively
easy sailing,
