Bare feet are stuck in the wooden stirrups. He
and his steed festooned with bags baskets
and packages, the tout ensemble suggesting an
itinerant Christmas tree. Stuck under the saddle
flap, or elsewhere beyond ready reach, is a rifle
or shotgun of ancient make, probably unserv1ce-
able, and almost certainly unloaded. Everyone
goes armed upon the road.
Occasional reminders Of less peaceful times
are seen in a small wooden set in the
ground and surrounded by rude rail fence, indi-
eating the spot where some unfortunate met
violent death in the commission of a crime. Pan
falcon rode alongside as I approached one OF
these unconsecrated buryng places that contained
two crosses With emotonless precision he told
the grizzly tale of two compadres who had fallen
out and here had fought to the death with their
knives.
Compadres are bosom companions bound by
bond closer than that of brotherhood. Only
woman can break that tie, and when compadre
turns against compadre hell knows no greater
bitterness These two hacked each other until
they FELL gasping and bleeding, and foaming at
the mouth, still jabbing with waning strength.

sion pleased better but felt bound to defer
to my mosos superior knowledge of the charac-
teristics of his countrymen.
Presently the road entered the monte, and we
rode between wooden walls reinforced Dy heaVy
underground. At long intervals passed small
clearings where the settler had cut the
ground burned the debris where it FELL and scat

The machete is the universal agricultural imple-
ment. A pillow has never been seen in the coun-
try. Cultivation is neglected as unnecessary
trouble Withal, harvests bounteous and
with the infalble regularity of the solar sys.

Outside of David the population is less than four
to the square mile Apart from score Of cattle
raisers and coffee growers, man produces more
than enough to meet his needs, whilst markets at
their very doors crying aloud for the poten

high prices for Jamaican fruit and Cuban sugar
and American tobacco, whilst these and many 9th

DESCENDANT OF THE PRoPHE1

Will there ever be a. holy war de-
clared by Islam against her enemies2
One often meets with references to
such possibility and since the declara-
ton of war against Turkey by Italy
these references have been more fire.
quent than for many years before.
But there is little probability of
such crusade by the Mohammedans
against the Christians, unless in the
event Of a European coalition, having
for it's object the dismemberment of
Turkey in Europe and her expulsion
from the continent. The authority for
this is Mohammed Ali, whose por-
trait is shown, descendant Of the
great prophet who founded the Mo
hammedan religion. Mohammed Ali
is now in this country and he SAYS
that holy war will never be de-
clared unless the Acknowledgement of
the Ottoman empire is threatened.
Then, he says, there will be an up-
rising Of the 175,000,000 Mohamme-
dams scattered throughout the world.

BALLOT BOX IS
SAFETY VALVE
Gov. Osborn Strong in Chicago Paper
For Initiative, Referendum
and Recall.
(From q stan Correspondent.)

LANSING, March 24.-Gov. Osborn,
was asked by a Chicago paper last
night what was the duty Of the I'LL
nois legislature as to passing q law
providing for initiative, referendum
and recall. the people having recon-
mended 1t by advisory vote. He re-
piled:
"The legislature is the creation and
creature of the people. To 1t they
delegate their power, and expect 1t
to crystalline into law their ideas and
desires. When. the expression OF de-
sire Is direct and clear as In the case
of a plebiscite, there Is but one thing
the legislature can honestly do, and
that Is to obey the dictates OF the ma
jority. In this instane, the Illinois
legislature should put the initiative,
referendum, and recall into effect at
the earliest time possible. I am un-
compromising In my belief In these
instrumentalities. The ballot box Is
the safety valve Of popular govern
ment. Give the people easy and fire.
quent opportunity to vote. and they
will relieve themselves at the polls
instead Of resorting to revolution by
force. No one can be hurt by the acts
Of the people but themselves, and
every instinct law of nature operates
to prevent self-injury. would make
no exception In the application Of the
recall" SANFORD.

The matter was brought before the

following resolution by Rep. Yaple OF

Whereas, There Is now circulating
In the public press OF this state varf-
GUS articles rejecting upon the con-
duct OF the Michigan Asylum for the
Insane at Kalamazoo, Mich.
Therefore, be It resolved, That a

may come to their attention relative
to the management Of said in
stitution, with full power and au-
thority to examine any and all
officers, employees and inmates OF
said institution or any other person
deemed proper by said committee, and
with full power and authority to issue
subpenas and compel the attendance
Of witnesses, administer oaths, COM
pei the production OF books, papers
and documents relating to the insti-
tuition.
Be II further resolved, That the

company said committee. and that the
said committee is hereby authorized
to employ competent stenographer
and to incur such other and further
expenses as may be necessary to car

ton.
And be 1t further resolved, That

gether with its recommendations In
the matter. to this house at the ear
lest possible time.
Speaker Baker appointed Reps.
