AIFonao In No Hurry.

Alfonso XIII. prefers st, Sebastian
to the gloomy palace of the Escuriai,
which was formerly the summer resi-
dence of the kings of Spain and where
apartments are always kept prepared
for him. The present king has lived at
the Escurial only once, In returning as
child from Switzerland, and then
only for few hours. The tombs Of
the kings of Spain from the time Of
Charles V. to the present are at the
Escurlsl It is destined to contain one
day the body of Alfonso XIII. The
guide who accompanies strangers who
visit the Escurial explains that the
young king has never yet visited the
tomb that is reserved for him. and
adds THE present king says: oh.
that place there! Don't bother I'll
get there soon enough, "-Cride Paris.

Fall Of a Famous Rocking Stone.

When the famous rocking stone Of
Tandil, in the southern part Of the
province Of Buenos Aires, fell recently
from Its narrow platform on the edge
Of a cliff Argentina lost one Of its most
interesting natural curiosities. This
great granite block was more than six
teen feet in diameter aud thirteen feet
high and weighed about 100 tons 1t
was balanced so nicely that the strong
winds from the pampas made 1t rock
perceptibly, and great numbers of tour

nuts aud empty bottles under it. Yet
many years ago the tyrant Rosas with

fully to pull 1t down, 1t. is thought

The planting of tree is often an en-
tirely unselfish act, for the chief value
Of it along the line of both fruit and
shade reaches a maximum when the
one who planted is has gone to his re-
ward. 1t is so with the trees that used
to mean so much to us as children, and
1t may be true Of the trees we plant
now. which will furnish fruit or shade
for our children and their children.
Make Arbor day something besides a
pretty sentiment this year by actually
setting out a tree or trees. The plant
ing Of trees requires faith. and that is
one Of the features that make 1t so
much worth while.

There is little question that the high
cost of living today Is traceable to
quite an extent to the high prices that

fact that the list of what we deem nee
essaries has been considerably enlarged
over what it was a generation ago.

MORE TALK OF
 AMERICAN PRELATE
Death of Cardinal Coullie Leaves Nine Vacancies in Sacred
 College

Vienna, Sept. 12.-The death or Cardinal CoulIie, Of Lyons, France, was an important topic of unofficial discussion at the Eucharist Congress here, today. Inasmuch as there are now nine vacancies in the Sacred Col leee. it was the concensus of opinion that the elevation of another ATner1- can pre1ate to the Cardinalate. which was deemed likely even when there were only eight vacancies, has be. come g. practical certainty.
 The congress seems to be taking a political turn as it's work progresses For this, anti-clerica1s. have been largely responsible.
 So far as formal debate is concern ed the program calls only for con sideration of the religious topics usually dealt with at Eucharist con-. gresses. The gathering has been made notable by the perfect working of the advance arrangements, a, mat ter left entirely to the Catholic wo- men of Vienna. Archduchess Maria Annunziata, the emperor's favorite niece, had general supervision of the preparations. Others who served as presidents of various committees were: Archduchess Maria Joseph, finance committees; Archduch ess Blanche. committee on the lodging of delegates; Archduehess Maria. Terresa committee of propaganda; Archduch- ess SZita, committee on decorations; Archduchess Maria Valeria, cf1il dren's department Duchess of Hoh- enberg, committee on vestments and supplies.

 Mobilization of the federal forces under Generals Campa and Orozco is 9. plan. of the ,insurrectos, it is believ- ed The rebels plan, to combine in the interior and then march south ward rava s4nE railroads and other property, it is feared. There are no federal troops, to check the southward march of the rebels Their progress, itsfs- expected. will haze little. oppoei- tion for several hundred miles and much q damage would be wrought. Not more than 5000 rebels will be conbin- ed at the start, according to estimates of war depa rtment officials. Recruits will be drawn from the interior, how ever and a real fighting force mobi- lizad which will cause a guerrilla warfare in the almost impenetrable interior
 Protection has been asked from the state department by the Mexican Central Railroad but little can be done except to forward the petition to Am bassadoT- Wilson for presentation to President NaderO.
