TT ORACE'S farm was in valley of
the Sabine hills, and I started out
- alone at dawn to try to find it.
For many miles rode on a donkey
over rough mountain paths. guided
only by a distant rock village that I
knew was three miles further from me
than the poets farm. At last I looked
into narrow gorge, empty of every
thing but few olive trees y purple
maze hung over a corner of it so won
derful in color. that 1 said aloud, 4
wonder what that can be"
The donkey answered me 1T is q
wing that time has dropped"
1t did not seem odd to me, the DON
keys words. There was a babel Of
Srasshoppers singing; silence of all
human sounds, and 1t seemed quite
animal that spoke
At the edge of the purple mist I
jumped off the donkey and leading
him. l walked into the strange cloud
of color.
AS 1 turned to look at the animal
who was, 1 thought behind me, I found
IN his place a Roman slave, who bowed
low and said, Ny master waits FOR
YOU" I felt dazed for moment, then
l asked him to lead on, and followed
him.
We passed through a grove of olive
trees In the distance 1 saw a small
villa, white and low, built in the shape
OF the houses in POmpeii Through d
door could see courtyard, and I
heard the splashing of a fountain.
The slave led me behind the house
where some vines were growing over
low maple trees. Under their shade I
saw large couch, table and some
low stools of marble. On the couch
lay man no longer young: he was
reading book. On the table I saw a
goblet of Egyptian workmanship. and
a dark green bottle filled with red
wine.
As the slave parted the leaves to let
me through, the man looked up and
mouoned with his hand that I should
SIT by his side 1 sat down and looked
at him His white toga fell in long
folds TO the ground, his spare figure
looked almost dlgnified, and his right
arm, bare OF draperies looked strong
and brown. His hands were delicate
and nervous. He saw I looked at them,
and said, Though I was a freedman's
son, my hands have done no work
barring that of fighting, and blood does
not coarsen them"
AT last I found my voice. and said.
Why you must be Horace, and this IS
your FARM
He looked surprised. But are you
not Cynthia's new Greek, whom eE-
pected, the slave that PrOpertius
bought for her at Athens, and whom to-
day she was sending to show my
Harlne how to twist her long black
hair in the new Greek way2"
I still felt dazed, but said to him,
L may be the one whom you expect
and can show Harine all ways Of
twisting her black hair, if you will call
for her"
He clapped his hands. and in a few
moments l saw a young and beautiful
woman coming towards us from the
house. 1 took up the heavy masses of
her hair in my hands; then twisted it
round and round her head, and put the
gold pins into it again.
She had brought polished plate Of
copper, and looked into it, and was de-

Horace was reading; she tugged at
his clothes and stood by him and asked
him to admire her, but he looked up

THOSE CLAIMS AGAINST MEXICO.
Ell Paso, 1915 n. Campbell St, June 20.
Editor Ell Paso Herald:
In The Herald of June Il, there is an
article giving an account of the dlI-
ficulties the lawyers have met with IN
trying to get q settlement OF the claims
of Americans who were shot on Amer
lean soil during the battle of Juarez In
this connection 1 may say that the
Mexican consul is not the proper OF
1lclal to settle such claims, even pre-
Stunning that he is qualified to do so, as
his time is so much occupied with his
ordinary duties that he cannot possibly
examine and settle the claims that
would be brought before him.
1 desire to call your attention to
somewhat similar occurrence to that
which gave rise to the claims of the
citizens of Ell PaSO. 1t happened in the
North sea or German ocean during she
RussO-Japanese war. While the Russian
admiral, Rojestvensky, was passing
through the North Sea at night with
russian fleet they sailed close to a
number of English fishing boats, and IN
the imperfect light a sudden panic
seized some of the officers of the Rus
sian war vessels, who gave orders to
fire on the English fishing boats which
they imagined were Japanese torpedo
boats. Some Of the English fishing
boats were sunk. one fisherman was
killed, and a number were wounded
, NeAl udy mere was great indignation
throughout England and the British
government demanded an apology and
immediate compensation for the in
jury done to the English fishermen.
At first war appeared to be imminent,
and 1t was doubted whether the Rus
sian fleet would ever reach its destina-
ton in the east In all the ports of
the North Sea it was well known that
no japanese vessels had been there
The Russian government, however, in
answer TO the British demand for sat
lstaction agreed TO give compensation
Tor all damage the fishermen had sus-
tanned, but as some of the Russian of
Ulcers insisted that Japanese torpedo
boats We're concealed among the British
fishing boats and that they had made
an attack on the Russian fleet

stout oar, Is not wise.
Some motor boats are very powerful
and have engines of 400 mule power,
not only in strength, but in noise and
stubbornness. 1t takes as long to start
these engines as it takes the United
States senate to get heated up over a
bribery investigation, but when they are
once in action the boat presents an in
spring sight as it leaps from wave to
wave. throwing vast sheets of water
on either side and sinking glOriOusly two
miles from help. These boats are not
comfortable, having only room for me-
chanie and an accident policy, but they
are the only craft made which are able
to overtake a porpoise and butt him from
the rear.

MOTOR
AVA BOATS
BY GEORGE FITCH
Author of "At Good Old Siwash''
Copyright, 1912, by George Mathew Adams)

A MOTOR boat is a small, frail
~ vessel, afflicted with a gasoline
engine and an amateur mechanic.
When the engine is in full cry and the
mechanic is making threats, the boat
sometimes develops a speed of 50 miles
an hour in its efforts to get away from
both of them.
Motor boats are used by men fond
of machinery, and keep them from tax
ing more valuable things apart and re-

readily by putting in a new spark plug,
