situation in Europe impressed him

He was also surprised at the great
resistance shown in France to the

the fall of the Barthou ministry.

plant Of Many Uses.

In 1880 the congress Of Mexico Is
sued an order that none Of the state
documents should be indicted upon
any material other than the paper
made from maguey. This is the ma
tional plant, and some have insisted
that the very word Mexico was derived
from the word mex-til. which means
maguey.
The Mexicans do well to be CRATE
full to this product of their country,
says the Ave Maria, for it is food and
drink, house and raiment to the Mex
lean. Its other name is agave, or
century plant, from the popular fall
lacy that 1t blooms only once a cen
fury, whereas 1t really blossoms every
eight years.
The stalk of the blossoms reaches
to the height OF rs feet and looks like
a giant candlestick, for 1t carries often
as many as several thousand blooms.
Many fields of ,maguey miles in length
are to be found in Mexico. and there
is scarcely a bit Of the plant which
cannot be used in some manner.

| Drummond rode off at top speed. But
his adventures were not yet over. He
was captured by squad of govern
ment soldiers near the borderland OF
Guatemala, the haven of safety he was
seeking.
After a brief court-martial, Drum
mond was sentenced to be shot at sun
set. He was backed up close to low
wall, beyond which we're jungle and
thick woodland.
Ranking as a general in the insur-
gent forces, Drummond asked permits
sion that he be allowed to give the
word OF command to the soldiers to
fire.
The soldiers stood ready with guns
leveled at the doomed man.
"Ready-fire!" called Drummond,
and fell just before the fash The
volley passed over him, and the sol
diers behald the amazing specticle OF
man whom they thought shot to
death suddenly arising and jumping
over the low wall.
Once in the jungle and protected by
darkness, Drummond made his way
over the borderland and found safety
| in Guatemala.
And as the wheel of fortune and
revolution has turned since this cpl
sode, he is now a respected citizen OF
Honduras, and has various mining in
terests to keep his fertile mind from
stagnating.

ing to enter upon the cultivation Of
that fruit in large way. An Amer
lean company has been organized to
operate in the state of Parana. From
day to day the lands OF the valleys Of
the Cubatao and Cubataozinho rivers
are being transformed into banana
plantations OF great extent. The
American company will sell portions
of this land and distribute banana cut

ance of the ready transportation OF
their product The company will buy
or charter special vessels in sufficient
quantity to transport this fruit.

WITH BLUE AND GRAY AT GETTYSBURG

Many were the stories told and in
Vulnerable we're the Incidents, both
pathetic and humorous, which marked
the great reunion of the Union and
Confederate veterans on the Gettys-
burg battlefield. Concentrating the
flftieth anniversary of the most stub
bornly contested battle of the Civil
war, fragments OF the hosts which
faced each other in that conflict gath
cred to renew old acquaintances and
to recount the deeds OF other days.
Here is a story which was told by
A. T. Dice, vice-president OF the Read
ing railway:
Once upon time there were a vet
eran In gray and veteran in blue.
They came to Gettysburg and in the
course of events and visits to hotels
they happened to meet. They looked
over the sights of Gettysburg and the
monuments of the field. But they
found they must part.
The one In blue lived in Oregon;
the one in gray in New Orleans. They
went weeping together to their sta
ton and passed by train after train,
deferring the parting that must come.
Just what they said. just how they
reached the final grand idea Of the
meeting. Mr.. Dice did not know.
But, however, yesterday they finally
decided that the time for parting had
come. The one from Oregon could
not figure how to reach home via New
Orleans and his gray comrade, while
willing to see the west, didn't have
the money for ticket
They lined upon on the platform as
their trains stood waiting and then
before the crowd, they slowly stripped
OF their uniforms and exchanged
them there while the curious flocked
to see them.
The Oregonian who came proudly to
town with a coat Of blue, went as
proudly away with one Of gray and
the veteran from Louisiana who boast
ed the gray OF the south sat with
swelling chest In his new uniform OF
blue.

Queen Bess Liked Her Ale Strong.

What the London Chronicle calls
Mr.. Bryan's "teetotal hospitality"
would never have done for Queen Bess.
For wherever Elizabeth went there ale
had to go also-strong ale. Great
were the trials Of her host. the earl of
Leicester, as expressed in letter from
Hatfield to Lore Burleigh: There is
not one drop Of good drink for her
here. We we're fain to send to Lon

James H. Lansberry Of st. Louis,
Mo-, who enlisted in the Third Indiana
cavalry from Madison, Ind, recited to
his comrades the details Of his cap
ture in the town OF Gettysburg by
Confederates so years ago. Following
the skirmlsh just outside OF town
which marked the opening of what
was to be a world-famed engagement,
he had been detailed to assist in car
rying a wounded officer to the old
seminary in Gettysburg. While In
town frantic women flocked about him
and begged that he tell Of the battle
He remained to tell the story, with the
result that he had to spend several
days in following the Confederate
army as q prisoner. After tramping
so miles over rough country without
shoes he succeeded in escaping and
finally made his way back to Gettys'
burg, where he remained till August
in assisting in the care Of the wound
ed, which we're housed In the semin-
nary, churches, barns and public build
ings.
