The Horses hoot,

In it's present elaborate form the hoof
of IL horse is the most perfect instru-
ment Of support which has been de-
vised in the animal kingdom to uphold
q large and swiftly moving animal
in it's passage over the ground. The
soft parts connected with it have been
modified into a structure which in an
extraordinary n combines solid
ity with elasticity. so that it may
strike violent blows upon the hard sur
face of the earth without harm. The
result is that the horse can carry a
greater weight at a swifter speed than
any other animal approaching it in size.

Professor Mallada, who will go down

daring feats in history. is attached to
the observatory maintained on Mount

ut was a case Of If at first you don't

Mallada explained. "Perhaps you
know that the last eruption, in 1906.
greatly modified the internal forma-
ton Of the crater. Before that it look
ed like a funnel. it's walls sloping in
ward at a moderate angle to the CEN
traI we'll. which was of such depth as
to render the bottom invisible from
any part of the crater's mouth. Sub
sequent townships during the eruption
altered the shape to one somewhat re-
sembling a cup, the bottom of which
was visible at certain hours of the
day from the mouth. The interior is
more or less ~honeycombed with fuma-
roles RENTING abundant jets Of vapor
mixed with hydrochloric acid and sui
phureted hydrogen.
The PeriIous Descent.
"Vith my faithful attendant l reach
ed the mouth of the crater at 9 o'clock
on Friday morning. We first made
fast a cable 1870 yards long, which,
slung around the waist, enabled us,
partly sliding. partly hanging in the
fashion OF an Alpine climber, to reach
a depth of 1870 yards in the southeast
part Of the cone. where. after careful
observation. l had decided was the
best point to make a descent.
'"There the lava ridge slopes outward
from the sides of the cone fully 100
yards. Travelling along that ledge. we
reached an immense mas Of lava rock
and other matter from the crater slide
in March. 1911, sloping at an angle Of
80 degrees.
1--WE again made fast another cable
120 yards long. enabling us to reach
| further the huge bank of volcanic mat
ter projected inward by the same land
slide.
Bottom Of Crater.
AFTER W hours clambering we
reached the bottom Of the crater. which
resembled a gigantic plowed field. We
remained two hours at the bottom of
the crater. tool numerous thermomet-
ric and barometric observations and
made a collection of mineral and other
volcanic matter from which we expect
valuable scientific results.
1--WE planted a red flag in the center,
which we found was just 800 yards
(96O feet) from the level Of the mouth.
1.-THE return climb was more difficult
and perilous than the descent. Mass
es Of rock and ashes fell around US as
we toiled upward with the aid of the
ropes and several times threatened to
dash us to the bottom.
AFTER five hours work we reached
the summit pretty well exhausted. but

than the women, and were even less
self-sacrifcing during the terrible strug-
gle with Spain that is the marvel of all
history, for hereoism and pertinacity
and iron resolution to fight.
One has reason to wonder, then, at
the attitude of the women who still
cling to the Confederacy and magnify
1T beyond reason as the greater part of
the nation does. There is every senti-
ment of sympathy. as there is of under
standing of their position during the
struggle and for 8 long time afterwards.
But when the men who did the fight
ing are so cordial in the handclasp, when
they work together so genially in their
politics and in their business, when the
blessing of peace is over the land and a
prosperity such as the world never
knew, it seems as if the sight of such a
country should reconcile even the bit
terest and least rational to the guidance
of Providence in our national history.
One may be inclined, in somewhat
kindly mood, to ask if the unreconciled
mourn over the loss of that kind of de-
voted service which was formerly at
their command but now cannot be had
at any price, or so seldom as not to be
common enough to affect the general
opinion.
But the great mass of women who
cling to the Confederscy to this day
have never had any acquaintance with
that kind of service which wss the COM
mon thing in southern families before
the war
or course one need not ATTEMPT an
explanation Of what seens an anomaly
in our history and certainly we have no
special sympathy with those who incline
to sheer at everything that women do.
and say that it is the unreasoning of
the sex, when that sex has certsinlv
about as much reason in it's composition
as the other.
We have no mind to applaud the SEN
timent of Aasop's fable as revised by
certain newspaper a few years ago. 1t
relates that an ostrich heard hen cack-
ling loudly and asked the hen what it
was all about. The hen answered: 1T
IS because l have laid an egg," to which
the ostrich replied: "Ob, no, it is be
cause you are hen and don't know anv
better"
The moral laid down in the story was
that it had something to do with woman
suffrage, though we do not know pre-
ciseiy what. Women might say, with
some reason, that such is the altogether
too common attitude of the masculine
mind
But at any rate, we must all hope
that in the course of time there will be
left the tender reverence for those who
gave their lives for the lost cause, with
out the added desire to emphasize the
leaders in the successful cause, in order
to make room for glorifcation of those
who sought to break the Union in two.
To escape from standing armies along
hostile frontier, to avoid a struggle
that must have been renewed from time
to time over control of the mouth of the
Mississippi river, to contemplate the
horrors that must ensue over a divided
Union, ought to reconcile even the most
unyielding lovers of the Confederacy to
the result that was wrought out in the
death grapple of the civil war.

e. Won't it help your business If it

OFT Hare. photographer, Of Hsmil-
ton, Mo-, has, by newspaper advertis-
ing, increased bis business thirty three
per cent in four years. Mr.. Hare took
charge of a gallery his father had run
for forty years. He WAS the only pho
togrspher in Hamilton, and the Hare
Studio was known all over the county.
Most photographers would have said:
Everybody knows about my busine, s;
there's no use for me 10 advertise. {"
Mr.. Hare, however, began using from
three to five inches single column, writ
ing his own ads. and never missed
week; nor has he run the same ad more
than two consecutive weeks. 10 De-
cember he talked photographs for
Christmas presents; at commencement
time he talked pictures to graduates;
and at the time of the county fair he
talked family groups, while the children
were all at home again.
Not only has Mr.. Hare increased his
business third, but the people are
buying better pictures, as he has edu
Gated his customers to better appreci
alton. Mr.. Hare gives the newspapers
full credit for the increase in his bust
ness. He has used some program and
other advertising, but recently discon-
tinued all except newspaper space.
The Commonwealth Edison Company,
although they have q practical monop
oily of all electric power in the city of
Chicago, yet finds that it pays them to
use newspaper space to create new
business.
At Kirksville, Mo-, the Kirksville
Light & Ice Company have. by spend
ing considerable money in newspaper
advertising in explanation of the uses
to which electricity may be put, great
ly enlarged their annual income.
The Louisiana (Mo.,) Light, Power &
Traction Company report they are much
pleased with the returns received from
series of Gas Talks recently run in
the newspapers.
In fact, all large corporations find
that newspaper advertising pays, and
the only reason the smaller corporations
and country stores have not found out
the same thing, is because they have
never given the intelligent use of news
poper space a thorough trial.
We could give many other examples

Southern WOmen's Devotion.
Buffalo News.

Buffalo News.
The world will never tire of writing
about women, any more than of writing
about men. In fact, it seems to enjoy
discussion of one more than of the 9TH
er and the judgment of the sex at the
hands of men varies with the men who
exercise judgment.
1t has been said, with some show Of
reason, that the unreconstructed rebel
is woman nine times in ten and that
what bitterness of feeling is left in the
south is due. first, to the implacable,
unyielding nature of the women of that
region, with the men following out OF
sympathy and admiration, for it is the
instinct of southern gentleman TO ad-
mire and follow his woman folk.
There is something of credit in it's
way to the unyielding disposition of
southern women in this matter, shown
by the recent request in Kentucky that
the statue of Lincoln be removed from
the state house and that jefferson Da-
Wis be put in place of it. Such an act
might satisfy the mood of a certain
number of southern women and of a
few In the north, who sympathize with
them, but it would offend the great
body of the nation.
In contrast with such a proposal, and
in marked contrast with the action of
leading women in Richmond and in some
other parts of the south, was the scene
at. Arlington, where President Taft
spoke so nobly about the reunited coun-
try, and the heroism of the dead in the
cemetery set apart there for confeder-
ates.
1t was even more il contrast with the
plan on foot for the reunion next July
at Gettysburg of all survivors of that
battle on both sides who can possibly
meet on the battlefield and Join in a
three days celebration of the event.
making it at the same time the most
conspicuous memorial that is possible of
the fact that we have q udion, one and
indivisible.
The strange thing from one point of
view Is that the glory of the republic
does not seem to reconcile to itself those
who were noncombatants during the
war and who still survive, but, even
more, those who were not even in ex-
istence during the period of that strug-
gle.
1t has been noted of women in some
countries and for many ages that they
werr the soul and inspiration and often
even the leaders in national defense:
that they have saved cities over and
over again when the men were ready to
surrender; they have led armies, like
Joan of Arc, and rallied kingdoms, hike
Maria Theresa, and inspired peoples,
like Louise of Prussia. when the con-
temporary man was weak and feeble
and pusillanimous and ready to quit.

that course.
