THE TRIBUNE'S great Bookreaders' Contest
j begins to-day with the publication of the
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1911-03-23

Though Francisco l.. Madero claims
and is usually credited with being the
i%nstigator of the latest instruction by
reason Of his inability t o defeat Diaz
for the presidency, his is not the name
to conjure with among the rebels. The
chief figure developed by the insurrec-
tos is General Pasqual Orozco.
The war began in November. and
since that time Orozco has been the
hero of four of the revolutionists' most
spectacular achievements-at Guerre
70. Cerro Prieto. Malpaso and .Iuarez,
1t has been predicted that an attack
on n of the republics leading cities
will form a fifth.
This military star is but twenty-eigh
years of age and never served in the
Mexican army before, mol has he held

the greater part Of his life on the
ranch of his father near the city of
Chihuahua. where he learned to hit a
dime at 200 yards among other things.

SPORTING EDITOR FOR.
CONGRESSIONAL RECORD
Members Want Many Fistic Bouts
Graphically Reported.

Although the dove of peace hovers
again over the national house Of rep
resentatives and the historic mace has
reposed on it's pedestal undisturbed
ka and Representative Mondell of Wy
oming made desperate attempts to get
at each other, the battle itself remains
a topic among the members.
One outgrowth Of the discussion is
the suggestion that there should be
created the Office Of sporting editor of
the Congressional Record. Friends of
Fred Irland, the senior official report
er of debates in the house, who was
called on Thursday to act as referee
as to who first used the word "liar''
and who used it the loudest, suggest
ed his name for the new office.
Objections were made to Mr.. Irland,
however, after there had been a care
full reading of his report on the Wick
ersham-Mondell "go' in the Record.
After setting out in detail the cross
fire of accusation between the bellig.
erent gentlemen the Record shows the
following:
Menacing actions took place between
Mr.. Wickersham and Mr.. Mondell.
Then the speaker is quoted as call
ing for order, supplemented by the
following:
The sergeant-a,-arms, bearing the mace,
appeared.
It was argued by those opposed to
Mr.. Irland's candidacy that he would
have to develop a more sporting"
style of writing.

TOOK HER IN HIS ARMS.
alluringly, yet with diminishing clear
ness. until at last she vanished and
there was nothing but the gray veil
and little else beyond.
At the door of his rooms he paused
a long while. bordering over Edith's
assurance Of her love for him. At last
he flung his head up and drew a sharp
breath. What a donkey l ann he
muttered angrily. ''Of course she
wants a good time, and I'm a selfish
beast to expect her to make the sacri-
fee. I'll just clear out with Ellis. and
webs from my brain and make me see
things straight"
On Thursday he set forth with Dick
Ellis bound for the Canadian woods.
AS they left Boston behind in a mist
of smoke Roderick thought. with a
sharp pang. that spring would have
rolled around before he saw it again.
And Edith-for she would return at
Easter before going abroad with her
aunt-would she have forgotten him
would she learn to care for another?
Dick Ellis broke in on his reverie with
some commonplace, and thereafter the
talk was all about game and fishing
and Roderick's pictures.
Anjou was a quaint enough settle
ment Of little houses. crowded together
as if for warmth from the wintry
blasts that swept screaming through
the woods. shaking the trees to the
very roots and swapping dead branches
with a sound like pistol shots. In the
house of Ellis guide. an Englishman
named Peter Bush. they found lodg-
ings. and Roderick secured the empty
loft over the kitchen for his own espe-
cial retreat. The stovepipe from the
big heater ran through the loft and
warmed it comfortably. but Roderick
loved to lie near the trapdoor in the
floor and look down into the smoke
wreathed room where Ellis and other
neighboring sportsmen gathered about
the stove and told their stories.
Roderick made several sketches that
might develop into the great picture,
but he felt no especial enthusiasm
about pushing his work forward.
Edith's attitude had somehow set the
machinery of his life out Of adjust
ment. He told himself that only she
could make matters right again. Every
mail he watched for a letter from her.
but the letters came rarely and were
lacking in the great essential that he
craved-her assurance that she missed
him in her new life: that she longed
for the time when they would no
longer be separated. when the years
probation would be over. But she
never wrote of these things. Her let
tiers were mere frothy jottings of her
! gay Mfe-of her happiness-and a care

gov shipbuilding firm. who is con-
WINGED of the almost immediate sue
cess of the oil engined liner.
His confidence is based upon an en-
terprise which. his, own firm has in
hand-the construction of an oil en-
gined ship Of about 5000 tons gross,
driven by twin screws and having a
speed of twelve knots. This new liner,
which will have accommodation for a
limited number Of passengers, will be
propelled by two sets Of internal COM
bustion engines.
Mr.. Ferguson declares these engines
will embody improvements which
have overcome initial difficulties con
nected with starting and reversing.
The charge will be ignited by COM
preston, and the engines can be start
ed in five minutes. Another and small
er engine Of the same type will gen
crate electricity for the operation Of
winches, windlasses and steering gear
as well as for lighting the vessel.
Steam on shipboard, with it's accom-
paniment of smoke, SCOT and dirt, he
says, will soon be a thing Of the past.

FIRST NIGHT COUGH APPEARS.
London Is Fighting New Method of
Wrecking a Play.

Wrecklng a Play.
An inserted slip on every program at
the Kingsway theater, London, on the
first night that Laurence Irving and
his company presented 'The Lily"
said. The management begs to state
that anyone troubled with a first night
cough will be supplied with jujubes on
application"
The management now explains that
there are q number of people who
make a practice Of coughing at first
nights with the object Of wrecking the
play. They say it is an organized con-
spiracy by out Of work actors, actress
es. minor dramatists and other disap-
pointed or disagreeable persons.
Mr.. Irving says there was an organ
lied storm Of coughing on the first
night of his production Of 1.-THE I'm

more than constant coughing. 1t is a

MADE MEMENTos OF LocUsTs
Pennsylvania Has Novel Reminder Of
Visitation.

James O. Kichline, a veteran resi-
dent of North Bethlehem, Pa, has a
unique relic Of the invasion in 1885 of
seventeen year locusts in that vicinity.
When locusts by the million overran
the country there he spent his spare
time gathering the insects. Then at
his leisure he made Of them a wreath
and a star.
The wreath is composed Of locusts'
wings, arranged in flower and leaf
fashion. The stars center is also com
posed of locusts' wings, while the six
points are made of whole locusts. The
background Of the star is made OF
leaves Of locusts' wings.
The wreath and star stand two feet
high by three feet wide, and this piece
is but one Of many novelties made by
MI. Kichline, who is seventy-four
years old.

The Only Way.


BY doing things. you may observe.
It Is that things are done.
Not using bales of grit or nerve.
But action by the ton.
The man who strikes a steady gait
And pushes right along
And hasn't any time to wait
Results are for him strong.
The dreamer may have schemes to burn
Asleep or wide awake,
But in a pinch the whole concern
Would little fuel make.
Though comprehensive and as grand
AS any schemes about.
They never will alarm the land
Unless he tries them out.
1t useless is to think you think
" You think you think you'll act,
For never while you sit and blink
Will it become a fact.
But if o shed your coat and vest
And not q moment stop
Till you nave torn things galley west
Then something's going to drop.
Just plain and unassuming force
Will make the mare proceed
And quickly amble down the course
At record breaking speed.
No other plan beneath the sun,
Afoot. af1oat. on wings,
Is there by which you get things done
Except by doing things.

BEARING BURDENS.

There is no virtue in bearing
crosses Of our own seeking. Many
a misguided man prays for strength
to bear burdens that do not belong
to him and for grace to endure tn
ais that he has gone out Of his way
to make for himself. Lies bless
ings outweigh its burdens. its joys
outnumber its griefs, and a prayer
for common sense and a healthful
outlook is quite as necessary as a
prayer for grace. There is nothing
more binding than tears Of self
pity.
