Il
l25th anniversary Of the
founding of the Santa Bar
bara mission. when thousands
of people from every city In
the state participated in the services,
is evidence that California has awak-
ened to the. necessity of preserving
these rapidly decayfng memorials O:
her early history. Italy has its ruins,
its coliseum and it's Forum: Germany
its ancient castles that hide among
the crags of the Rhine: France. its
beautiful chateaux of Touraine and
Normandy; and Spain. its slumbering
ALEXANDRA, whose fountains have long
since ceased to flow. With equal pride
California points to the ruins of its
Spanish Missions. True, they cannot
boast Of great antiquity, neither do
they tell Of nations fought and con-
Quered; their tale IL of the heroic
deeds Of noble men, who yielded fame
and fortune and sometimes life itself
for the glori1ication Of God In the
then heather land. There lies about
these ruins an air of subdued solem-
nifty: the effect upon the mind of the
beholder is elevating. There come be-
fore one visions of the patient plod-
ding padre, toiling on from year to
year, unmindful of his disappoint-
ments and deprlvat1ons-preach
baptizing, confirming, amounting, and
when at last his earthly toll was end
ed, here he laid him down amid the
scenes of his labors. far from his kith
and kin, and the land of his birth.
These crumbling walls that enclose
his sepulchre are mute monuments to
his greatness.
Strange as it may seem in modern
days, California owes its place in the
North American Union of states to
Spain and the Franciscan mission
fathers. 1t had always been the in
tention of Spain to colonize Alta or
Higher California, but the pressure Of
events elsewhere had prevented.
About 1850 the slow but steady prog
ress southwark Of the Russians, who
had already established themselves In
Alaska, brought the Spanish king to
| a decision to send out his colonizers
and missionaries. California became

yond doubt, had been recaptured long
since, for my own experience told me
how extremely vigilant were the Fed
eral guards. To one unacquainted as
was with military customs it would
prove impossible to penetrate their
lines; hence, everything must depend
upon my getting through in safety.
Then my thoughts drifted to the

ment. If I had loved her before,
loved her doubly now, for she had
proven herself woman among wom-

clearly her face, with those dark
sweet eyes and the wealth of crown
ing hair, rose before me, while word
by word reviewed all that had passed
between us, dwelling upon each look
or accent that could evince her pos
sible interest in me. Then reason re-
turned to my aid, and resolutely, de-

Builders Of Carnarvon Castle,

ouIJ0STS OF NaTVdFvoN NaSIIe.
Carnarvon castle is full of interest
not only for the archaelogfst and stu.
dent OF medieval military architec.
ture. but also for all engaged in
the economic Interpretation Of history
Fairly complete accounts are extant
of the money expended on wages and
material during the building OF the
fortress The highest wage paid to
the workmen was three pence day 10
skilled artificers. two pence being
more common. These artisans were
all Englishmen. hailing from such
places as Canterbury or Oxford Or.
binary laborers. who were, to Judge
from their names. all native Welsh
men, received only a penny. Allow.
ing for the purchasing power OF the
penny. these comic wages are Of
course far higher than the rates Of
the present day. Centuries later the
translators of the Bible saw nothing
tudicrous about the two pence" prof

of soldierly honor, I resolved that
would put her from my thoughts for
ever. She was not mine either to love
or possess, unless the uncertain fate
Of war should chance to set her free.
Even to dream of her. to cherish her
IL memory while she remained the
wife of another, was but an affront to
her purity and womanhood. I would
prove myself a man entitled to her
respect, soldier worthy my service
and corps; If ever again my name
CHANGED to find mention in her pres
ence it should be spoken with honor.
l was musing thus, !ulled by the
steady lope of my horse, and totally
ii-sensible to any possibility OF peril,
when clear upon my cars, instantly
awakening me frun& such reverie,
there rang through tie night silence
the sharp clang of irop on the road
behind re. All sound OF pursuit had
long since died away, ard I supposed
the effort to recapture me had been
abandoned. But there was no mis-
taking now-at least one horseman,
riding recklessly through the black
night, was pressing hot upon my trail.

lieutenant, burning with anger at the
trick played upon him, has pushed far

This thought awoke me in an in
slant from my dreaming, and I
spurred my horse furiously, glancing
anxiously backward as rode. but un-

Sees Difficulties Ahead Because Of
Lack of Decision In America Re.
garding the Mexican Situation.
o the Editor Of THE TINES:

To the Editor Of THE TINES:
Seeing In the papers that the United
States Government has forbidden war
vessels OF that country entering Mexi-
can waters, knowing that American peo-
pie, not to mention their property, are
in vital danger. | am constrained to
ask, Why are the American people so
timid as to doing what they have here
tofore been In the habit of doing?
1t has always been the habit Of Am
eriCan warships being sent into troubled
South and Central American waters for
the protection of Americans and their
property, when those countries were
having little tilt, but absolutely ig-
more the dangers now surrounding the
Americans in Mexico, and you even 20
so far Is to get hysterical when the
Yorktown proposes TO coal in Mexican
ports. WHY? Has the American Gov
ernment gotten to the point where your
citizens must be insulted, starved, out
ragged. even murdered by a semi-civil-
lied nation, are your people too busy
executive and Legislative officers too
busy trying to perpetuate their POLL
ClES' to do their plain duty in the
premises. or, is your sensltiveness to in
suits added to injury so deadened that
you just don't care what happens to the
poor devils In Mexico?
Would Mexico or Mexican people be
insulted II English. German. or French
ships of war entered her ports? We
think not. Then why should the sensi-
tive American Government be so reluc-
tant in being American? rs peace so
sweet and GOLD so dear as to be pur-
chased at the price OF American life,
honor and respect? If so, then who can
blame those of you who foreswear their
allegiance to the flag. and remove their
citizenship
/, who for seventeen years lived
| among Mexicans. can tell you that you
are hated so deeply by the Mexicans
| that their enmity creeps out in their
polished diplomatic dealings to your
State Department, and but for the fact
| 1.-The worm may turn at some distant
date they would, ere this, have COM
mitted an act that would make the
| Maine event a comparative Fourth OF
July celebration.
| II you think for one instant that your
| present tactics are impressing the
| Mexican people as to your neutrality
and other such rubbish you will soor
| awaken to the fact that your good in.
| tentions. your ultimatums, etc, are
| mere bluff and are held in contempt
| and the hatred for the maldetose gringc
but accentuated.
| Your Monroe doctrine will soon bt
tested, brought on by your own indif
ference, then the people of your coun
try will ask those in authority some
| questions that are going to be hard tC
answer, and to those who can read
| will readily see that the next four oil
Ave years will be such that the ma
