AN ILL. MATED PAIR.
Wide Apart In Temperament Were
Thomas and Jane Carlyle.

Thomas and Jane Carlyle.
That the Carlyles were an i'll assort-
ed couple no one could deny. She was
a highly strung. nervous woman. very
quick, able and impatient. disappoint-
ed with her married life and her posi-
ton, jealous of the admiration which
Carlyle received at the hands of all
his admirers, especially of one or two
women, whom she found very unsym-
pathetic.
That Carlyle adored her there is lit
tie doubt. He loved her with all the
rough. passionate power of his nature.
but he was a peasant in manner and
character and lacking in all the little
outward signs of devotion and affec-
ton which so many women exact and
the absence of which they resent most
bitterly.
Mrs. Carlyle found herself tied to an
irritable genius who. sensitive at every
point. deeply devoted to her, but abso-
lutely incapable of translating that
love into the language which she
craved and longed for. l remember
her once saying to me in bitter way.
MY dear, whatever you do. never
marry a philosopher" and that was
the key to the enigma-the woman al
ways hungering for proofs of the de.
votion in which the whole of her daily
life was wanting.-From Lady ST. He

MISTAKEN IDENTITY.

Incidents of which were woven into

She was the confidant of one of the

the robbery. But her testimony, al.
though corroborated by other confed-

QUEER CAVALRY CHARGE.
Attack Upon Stranded Gunboat by
a Mounted Squad.

After the action at Sabine Cross
roads dn April. 1864 the Lexington
was leading the feet on the way down
the Red river. A rifle fire was direct
ed upon her decks from the Confed' /,
crate skirmishers on the shore. At
one point the river widened out and
the channel meandered through an
open stretch of comparatively shallow
water. AS the Lexington reached this
omen stretch the man at the wheel. whoH
had been replaced once or twice dur
ing the trip. was struck by a well d.
rected shot from the bank. The little
vessel turned sidewise to the current
and grounded bow and stern across
the narrow channel. A squad of Con-
federate cavalry, led by General Green
and Ex-Governor Mouton, seized the
opportunity for brilliant coup. They
rode out through the shadows, the wa
ter being up to the shoulders of their
horses. keeping up such sharp fire
that the decks of the gunboat had to
be abandoned. The cavalry reached
he edge of the channel, and it seemed
for a moment as if they would be able
to get on board and take possession
of the vessel. If their attempt had
been successful the vessel would have
been sunk where she lay and the chan
mel would have been blocked The
next vessel in the column was still
above the point waiting until by the
movement of the smoke from the
stacks of the Lexington it could be-
known that the channel was clea

INTERCOLLEGIATE

gan Will Be Factors.
After months of practice college ath-
letes are now putting the finishing
touches on their training for the inter-
collegiate track and field meet which
will be held in the Harvard stadium,
Cambridge, Mass, May &c and q.
The 1910 meet was productive of
only one record. but in view of the
great performances of a number of
men in their preliminary workouts it
would not be surprising if records by
the wholesale should go by the board
in the stadium.
Although dual meets have been
scarce SO far this season. there have
been occasions on which the merits of
the various teams can be judged.
Nearly all the universities, with the
exception of Princeton and Pennsyl-
vania. have lost heavily by graduation,
but new men from the under class of
a year ago have been developed, so
that this meet should be as interesting
as any of its predecessors.
Craig of Michigan. Reidpath of Syra-
cuse, Berna of Cornell, Chisholm of
Yale. Burdick of Pennsylvania and Joe
Horner OF Michigan, all winners, Of
events last year, are still in competi-
ton, to say nothing of any number of
the men who scored second. third and
fourth places for their respective
teams. AS races on paper do not al
ways come true when the men are
running along on the actual cinder
path, predictions as to the outcome of
the meet seem a little out of place.
However, in reviewing the material
that is on hand for this years tests it
is probably best to begin with Penn
sylvania, the winner Of the 1910 meet.
The Quakers, despite the loss of
Ramsdell, who showed up so brilliant
ly year ago. will be very strong in
the sprints. for Minds has been run
ming up to his old time standard.
For the longer distances Murphy has
a lot of good men in Billy PAUL. Boyle,
Foster, Gray, Church, Levering and
Wolfe. On the whole, the Quakers
have a good fighting chance to repeat
their victory of year ago.

FAMILY SEPARATED
DURING FIGHTING
Man Caught in Fight, Re
turns to Find His Home
Riddled and Wife
Missing.

Although Ciudad Juarez was nearly
depopulated of civilians. few families
remained in their homes during the
entire two days attack Some harrow
ing stories are told of narrow escapes
and hardships. Many residents were
bottled up in their homes without food,
and in some instances without water
for the two days, afraid even t. ven
ture into the yard for a second.
Typical is the case of. Ricardo E.
Mora, Juarez broker and business
agent Mr.. Mora and his wife believed
each other dead for nearly "a hours.
Before the general attack Mr.. Mora
visited Gale Concrete on an errand
The firing became so heavy down the
street that he was forced to take shell
ter in store and remained there DUR
ing the entire day. Hearing a terrific
rife fire and cannon blasts he was in
panic lest his wife and child, whom
he had left in the residence at So
Avenida Lerdo. were killed
In the meantime insurrectos had
worked up the irrigation canal. at the
side of which the Mora home stands.
Hearing the cry of child. one of the
rebels entered the house and found it
occupied. They told Mrs Mora that
her home would be the center of fire
from the federal fortifications. and ad-
vised her to move to FL Paso at once.
With an escort Of three insurrecto SOL
dlers, the woman and child walked TO
the bridge, the rebels guarding them
as they walked, protected by the rail-
way embankment. The mother and
child reached FL Paso in safety. Since
her husband had not returnd during
the entire day, Mrs. Mora believed that
he had been killed or wounded. adding
to her personal anxiety
When the firing slackened with the
fall OF darkness, Mr.. Mora slowly made
his way to his, home. The house was

Madero worked hard in the office

(By c. A. Brann).

To the victors belong the spoils.
The victors are the Mexican rebels
under Madero and his generals; the
spoils are ham and eggs in the Juarez
groceries. So. Wednesday night the
rebels proceeded TO dispose Of plenty
of these. They entered stores quietly
and removed -four. ham, bacon and
other meats, but only such provisions
as they required.
Groups of men Of about 10 each and
ali fully armed marched around the
streets. visiting the various stores and
commission houses and removing the
edibles in wagons to the quarters OF
the various commands. The men
were quartered in the same places
lately occupied by the federals during
their stay in the city.
Early in the evening and up TO
nearly o'clock, men marched about
the streets crying Viva Madero,"
Viva Orozcoy' viva La Libertad"
the men were tired, but they had TO
make some demonstration

They were led by horseman who
was carrying the tricolor and behind
him were five buglers and two drum

march. which included the main
streets and ended at Madero's head

While they were passing the plaza.
a group on the benches yelled, Long
Live Madero, Long Live Orozco, Death
to Diaz, Death to Navarro" There
were but few expressions of approval
to the last mentioned, though a great
shout rose at the mention of Orozco's
name.
In front Of Madero's headquarters
three dianas were played and the men
shouted Viva Madero.' Viva La Lib
ertad." viva Orozco." Then some one
yelled Viva La Treinta Treinta

He referred to the rifles and a ire

retired 70 their quarters.
