Buried u secret.

Two ancient kings were buried In -
o1et. Attila, king Of the Huns, aftar
his siege of Rome. died In Hungary
A. D. 45S. His soldiers, DESTROYS Of
giving their great leader right royal
burial, Enclosed his body nrst In q
casket Of gold, this in one OF silver and
this in one OF lead. and transported It
into desert There slaves were Sc
lected, and under the direction Of men
who were sworn to secrecy they dug
the grave Of the dead monarch. When
this was accomplished no traces Of the
spot were left. The slaves were all
cruelty slain.
Alaric, king Of the Cloths, the cele-
brated conqueror Of Rome, died when
with his armyYat C0zenza, south Italy.
His men turned the course of a river,
inferred the body of their sovereign,
with much treasure, in its bed and
restored the stream to its channel.
No man has ever lighted on the rest
ing place of either of these kings, who
In this respect resemble Moses. OF
whom it is written, 'No man knoweth
Of his sepulcher unto this day"

Died From Bad Writina.

German handwriting attains a de-
gree of illegibility unknown in Latin
script. A tragic instance of this fact
was afforded by the death Of Johann
Baeher an Austrian musician of the
last century. Bacher spent most Of
his leisure for fifteen years in compil-
ing history Of the Viennese opera.
When the manuscript was completed
he submitted it to the Imperial acad-
envy, which had promised to publish it.
In three months it was returned with
a statement that no member of the
academy could decipher 1t. Bacher
then sought to have it copied. but no
copyist capable Of deciphering it was
to be found. AS last resource he de-
termined to dictate his work to an
amanuensis only to discover that the
greater part of the manuscript was
illegible even to himself. The thought
Of his wasted years Of labor unhinged
his brain. and in a fit of depression he
committed suicide. @

A Good Creed.

To be able to look every man square
~ in the eyes; to make friends and
hold them; to keep clean Of mind and

at my mistakes; to frown when temp

with word of cheer when that word
will help; to strive to develop to the
utmost the heart, head and hand
qualities endowed by the Ruler over
all; to hold all women In respect and
to love one; to weave the thread of
eternal optimism into the lives Of all
with whom may come in contact; to
worship nature and the Great Spirit
that conceived 1t allin a word, to play
the game of life with steady hand

has it, the paramecium. These tiny,
invisible things develop so rapidly that
If they were able to live through $50
generations they would crowd every

earth and form a mass larger than the
planet itself. Should they 60 on re-
producing until the nine hundredth
generation these little creatures would
form mass large enough to crowd
the moon and stars and even the sun

this is not possible. according to ma

after 1t has attained the one hundred
and SEVENTEEN generation. and so the
awful possibilities are checked of its

REBELS STORM JUAREz CITY
Advance With Brisk Fire Upon Mex
lean Federal Forces.

81 Paso, Tex, May 1O.A general
engagement between the revolutionary
forces of General Madero and the fed
erals under command of General Ma.
varro is raging at Juarez under a
burning sun and q heavy fusillade OF
musketry and cannon. The entire
rebel army had broken camp during
the night and up to noon the insur-
rectos were rapidly swarming into
town.
The prospects Of rebel success are
dependent on the ability of the fed.
erals to use their twelve machine guns
within the town.
The insurrectos, 1t was reported,
had silenced some Of them, but this
report has verification only in the fact
that the federals were not Smelling
the insurrectos as extensively in the
last few hours as they did earlier in
the morning.
General Madero admitted that he
had given his consent to a general
attack on Juarez, but explained that
various circumstances had precipitat-
ed It,. He declared reports which had
reached him were that the federals
had opened fire and that men who had
been reported as revolving against his
leadership had pursued them of their
own accord and could not relinquish
their positions. He listened to the
counsel of his chiefs, who advised
general attack, and though he made
an effort to arrange an armistice, it
failed because of the progress the at
tack already had made. =.

been keeping sightseers three blocks
away from the river front. :
Privates Emilio Garcia and Cassidy
of the American legion with the insur-
rectos came to Ell Paso to get food.
They stated that fifteen Americans al

that the federal loss was more than
