Madrid, Epain.-Every country IN
the world has It's heroines as well az
its heroes, and it's heroines of war as
we'll as those OF peace. While Molly
Pitcher. who during the revolutionary
war operated her husbands cannon
when he was stricken down, Is Justly
famous In American annals and cele-
brated In prose and verse, the Maid
of Saragossa is even more renowned
IN her native country, Spain. While
Palafox was the hero, she was incom-
parabiy the heroine OF the siege OF
Saragossa, one OF the most desperate
In modern history and equally daring.
extensively and defenHively. For her
brilliant services Spain made her q
lieutenant In the army and bestowed
upon her many decorations. Her name
was Augustine and as girl she was
peddler OF cool drinks In the city.
From the beginning to the end of the
siege she was ever in the heat OF con-
fiot and her courage and daring
served to hearten the gallant defend
ers In the darkest hours OF those
bloody months. She won the name La
Artillera from having snatched the
match from the hands OF dying gun
ner and discharged the piece at the
invaders. She died In Cueta, Spain, In
1857, at very advanced age.
The siege Of Saragossa, In which
the maid distinguished herself, was
conducted by the French in 1S08-00,
during the peninsular war. Saragos-
sa was one of the cities that blocked
the success of Napoleon's marshais
in subduing all Spain. On June LIZ,
1903, the French invested 1t with q
force Of 10000 men. It's defender was
Joseph Palafox, youth without mill
tary experience, but who had sense
enough to associate with himself men
of martial training and courage. But
while inexperienced In war, he had the
heart of the warrior, and when the
French general summoned him to sur
render, Palafox returned the immor-
tai reply: War to the knife and the
knife to the hilt"

The Modern Inquisition.

When the love letters a man has
written are read in court, civilization
slips back a notch. The thing is a
barbarity, a medieval savagery belong
ing to the inquisition and the applica-
ton of thumbscrews. The anguish OF
the old torture chambers had at least
something of dignity about 1t. There
were high examples-some which be-
came famous-of nobility of spirit
and physical endurance. But when
ones love letters are recited for the
entertainment of a jury there is no
chance for the exercise Of manhood.
There is no dignity which cannot be
made to appear absurd. There is moth
ing for the victim to do but grit his
teeth and endure while his soul
writhes and sweats in agony.
Chances are that half the men upon
the jury who enjoy these exposures
of asininity would rather go to their
death than have their own love letters
read aloud. They take delight that a
man has been found to have been as
silly as themselves. But, strange to
say, jurymen seldom indicate any
sympathy in the case. They usually
give the man whose foolishness has
been paraded the worst Of it. Human
charity goes on a strike.

Uncle Pink, why / owned a news
paper once, and did everything on it
from setting type and running the
press to collecting the news and writ
ing the editorials. There was only
one thing / didn't do, and that was
because 1t was human impossibility.
! refer to collecting the money. People
had no idea Of paying up, or If they
did, they didn't carry out It was In

after old Sutter found the first pay

to give up their time and energy, to
give up their lives, yea, to give up any
thing but money That they would
not give up. This made newspaper
ing diff1cult business.
Il ran the Gulch Weekly News just

TAKE A LESSON FROM VENUS

Miss Venus is a lovely girl; not

been without her arms for many dusty
ages, and yet she never drops the
brine or rants In hopeless RACES. She
has to stand bunch Of CUFF from art

never once comes back and grills the

the job both day and night, she hears
man knock or fatter and women not

Romance of a Shadow.

It is hard to believe that a shadow
is probably the origin of all astro-
nomical. geometrical and geographical
science. The first man who fixed his
staff perpendicularly in the ground
and measured its shadow was the
earliest computer of time, and the
Arab of today who plants his spear
in the sand, and marks where the
shadow falls, is his direct descendant.
Tt is from the shadow OF a gnomon
that the early Egyptians told the
length of the year. 1t is from the
shadow of gnomon that the inhab-
itants of upper Egypt still measure
the hours of work for water wheel.
In this case the gnomon is a lhurra
stalk supported on forked uprights.
and points north and south. East and
west are pegs in the ground, evenly
marking the space of earth between
sunrise and sunset. In land OF con-
stant sunshine shadow was the
primitive chronometer. 1t was also
the primitive foot rule.-London =.
