Ny Dear Cynthia
! have sent letters and post cards to
Robert and Mary since l reached Siena
but | seem always to have left out the
most delightful experiences-or they
happen just after Ihave sent off a letter.
Last Saturday beautiful warm morn
ing | walked 10 the convent of the
Asservariza founded by San Bernadino,
one Of Siena's famous saints who was
also one Of the great preachers of the
middle ages Situated on a lofty emin-
ence, the convent commands a grand
view Of Siena and the mountains. The
servants were working in the vineyard
as l approached digging about the vines
and | noticed that the strawberries were
in bloom, so the good brothers will not
be entirely dependent on aims for their
Injuries, whatever they may be for their
daily bread. They are Franciseans who
take vows of poverty and look poorer
with their sandals and bare heads, than
any other order have seen. The con-
vent has some good pictures. but its
chief treasure is a coronation of the
Virgin by Della Robin. There is so
much to know and learn that | am
always coming on something new that
| ought to have known long before. So
when saw this exquisite altar piece in
white and blue faience l was perfectly
amazed, for had no idea he worked in
this material You can hardly believe
that such beauty and tenderness of ex-
preston, such grace of movement and
attitude can be found in China Beauti-

sembled for their regular meeting at
the Y. NJ. c. A. Monday morning. con-
sternation was created when 1t was

where he could find one upstairs.
However, search Of the room proved
futile. After a fifteen minutes hunt. a
Bible was unearthed in a secluded
book case in the boys library.
Rev. Addison Parker was the prin-
cipal speaker OF the meeting. taking
for his subject The Puritan Theo-
cracy." He told of the efforts made BY
the Pilgrims in trying to found . Bib
lical commonwealth and of the decline
of the strict rule after only two gen.
erations. His conclusion was that no
organized form of free government
can base itself on religion, for human
government must be content to claim
only a mundane authority" and that
free, vitali1ed organization with all
its tendency toward indfvidualism,
brings to pass Il better essential unity,
both civil and religious, than any kind
Of uniformity demanded by law, and
enforced by penalties"
The ministers discussed the prog
ress that the men and religion forward

went on record Al ready to help with
the work in their own districts.

A plan to organize cat ranch in
the west, which it is alleged will make
large fortune for the promoters, was
| just brought to light this morning,
when l.. A. Handiey, Is North Twenty
! first street, received letter from Will
Eversman, of the American Seeding
Machine company, asking him to be-
come stockholder in the proposed
! firm. The new scheme. which is heral-
ded as the surest get-rich-quick idea
of the twentieth century, was develop
ed by several American Seeding Ma
chine company employees and they are
only waiting, it is said. until they can
interest some capitalists to start the
cat ranch which is to be self-support-
ing. and which they aver will be a yer.
table mint.
The letter sent out by the promoter
follows:

Dear Sir
Knowing that you are always inter
ested and open for an investment in a
good. live business proposition, l take
the liberty of presenting to you what
seems to me most wonderful bust
ness, and in which, no doubt, you will
take a lively interest and perhaps
write me by return mail the amount OF
stock that you wish to subscribe to.

An Attempt is Made TO Organize
A Cat RQnch-- Is If q Skin Game

To start with. we will collect say.
100000 cats. Each cat will average
twelve kittens a year. The skins run
from ten cents each for the white ones
to seventy-five cents each for the pure
blacks. This will give us 100000
skins year to sell, at the average
Of SOC apiece, making our revenue
about $4,000 day gross.
A man can skin so cats day at 81
and, therefore. the net profit will be
about $4,000 a day.
| We will feed the cats on rats and
will start Rat Ranch next door. The
rats multiply four times as fast as the
| cats. If we start with one million rats
we will have, therefore, four rats per
day for each cat, which is plenty.
| And then, we will feed the rats on
the carcasses of the cats, from which
the skins have been taken, leaving
each rat fourth of cat.
| 1t will thus be seen that the bust
ness will be self supporting and auto.
matte, all the way through. The cats
| will eat the rats, the rats will eat the
cats, and we will get the skins.
Awaiting your prompt reply, and
trusting that you appreciate this op.
portunity to get rich very quickly,
remain,
Yours very truly,
WILL EVERSMAN
| In reply to the offer. Mr.. Handley
wrote that the project looks like a

Revolt Was Thought to Have
Started When Firing Was
Heard Monday Across the
Rio Grande.
ONLY CELEBRATION
BY JAUREZ TROOPS
Discharged Their Rifles Wel-
coming Arrival of Req
forcements-U. S. Soldiers
Are in the Field.


Ell PASO. Nov. 2O.-Heavy firing
across the Rio Grande at Jaurez early
today led to the report that the dread.
ed revolution Of General Bernardo
Reyes had been launched against the
Madero government at last The fir
ing was continued in volleys for some
time. presently dying away. Investi-
CATION proved that instead Of JuArex
being attacked, by insurrectos. the
shots were being fired by federal SOL
diers in the garrison. to celebrate the
arrival of reinforcements.
Federals manning the Jaurez garri-
son have. long feared an attack by in
surrectos, who have been gathering
all alon gthe frontier. 1t is known that
the Reyes revolution was not schedul-
ed to begin for some weeks. but 1t was
supposed that the arrival OF Gen.
Reyes, the seizure of the arms and
ammunition secreted by his followers
on American soil. had prematurely pre-
cipitated fighting.
Revolution Brewing
The Reyes revolution, is brewing as
the result of the arrest OF Gen. Ber-
nerdo Reyes in San Antonio on Sat
urday and the seizure Of large Quon-
titles of insurrecto arms and ammuni-
ton at Laredo by United States auth
critics. The plan Of the Reyes follow
ers has been not to open hostilities un-
til the army was taken across the bor-
der.
ed to the Rio Grand. Following q con-
ference between Brig. Gen. John w.
Duncan, commander of the department
of Texas and military authorities at
Laredo, Company I, Third cavalry, left
Leon Springs at daybreak for San An
tonion enroute for the border The
company has been at Leon Springs for
target practice.
The United States military patrol
will extend all along the border where
there is a possibility of neutrality
laws being broken. The present revolu-
tionary situation threatens to throw
Mexico into the same condition of an
archy and strife which prevailed prior
to the abdication Of President Diax.
General Reyes has apparently laid his
plans we'll and the new outbreak ap-
rarentiy is backed with a substantial
war chest.
Insurrecto juntas will be establish
ed on American soil. 1t 10 said, wher-
ever possible. According to the plans
of the leaders the northern Mexican
states must bear the brunt of insur-
recto attacks because of the weakness
of defenses and the inability to rush
troops Immediately from the capital
