So the narrative ran; but it had stin
other chapters.
The deposed and restored Governor, on
learning of the death of Cobos, had is
sued an address to the troops of the gar
rison-
You have acquired new laurels,' he
told them You have added new luster
10 the many already acquired. You have
re-established order in a time of terrible
danger. and you have re-established the
authority OF the highest government of
the nation, which is the authority OF the
Mexican people,
To the citizens he issued another ad-
dress. Traitors had overpowered their
beautiful city, he said, but the earth
already covers their dead bodies" The
address closed with the words:
Citizens of Matamoras, long live in-
dependence: Long live liberty. Long live
the National Guard! Long live Lieut.
Col Juan Nepomuceno Cortinas"'
The ink was scarcely dry on these stir
ring addresses when Gov, Ruiz received q
call from the officer to whom he had so
fervently wished long life, Lieut. Col.
Cortinas, as commander of the garrison,
was the captor, judge, and executioner
of Gen. Cobos.
safety of Gov. Ruiz, and offered him an
escort of twenty-five men in the event of
his wishing to leave the city.
Gov. Ruiz had little faith in the effec-
tiveness of an escort offered under such
conditions. He interpreted the offer as
an intimation that he might soon follow
Cobos and Villa. Without waiting for the
escort he left Matamoras in hot haste
for Brownsville, and arriving there de-
manded the protection of Gen. Banks.
This was afforded him.
Guns Tseined on sratamoras.
That night there was great excitement
in Matamoras. Gen. Cortinas had pro-
claimed himself Military Governor of
Temaulipas. Gen. Banks, who construed
these acts in the drama as a possible
prologue to the French occupation of
Matamoras, watched the development of
affairs with deep solicitude.
The situation was indeed a delicate
one, that under certain conditions might
develop into a cause of international
complications.

BUFFALO BILLS FAILURE.

The pecuniary troubles which have overtaken William F. Cody Buffalo Bill in his old age will touch the heart of the people. The story of his Wild West show, of course, was dimmed many years ago. Latterly it had been combined with a Far East show in which Tartars and Arabs ap- peared with their oriental steeds, their elephants and camels, ill contrast with the mustangs and the bison, and the survivors of the red Indians of the western plains. A queer melange, to be sure, but good show of it's kind, with exhibitions of expert horse manship and craftsmanship in plenty.
 A real pioneer and prairie scout in his young manhood, ac- tually of the line of Boone,, Car son and Crockett, Cody conceived the idea of turning snowman for ty years ago, and in partnership with E. z. c. Judson, the Ned Buntline of a similar era, pro- duced stage play called "The Scouts of the Plains,' with which he made a fortune. The drama, however, was not his field, though he\ often dabbled in theatrical ventures. His prodigious tri- umph came with the realization of his conception of a Wild West show epitomizing the border and pioneer life of half century. This occupied not stage, but a vast arena, in which the Indians pncamped, the bandits robbed the DcadWoOd stage, and the cowboys pursued their vocation. Buffalo Bill reached the highest pinnacle of his fame m his tours of Great Britain in the ninetieS. There he was accounted by the multi tude the greatest of all Ameri- cans. Not even ArtemuS Ward or John Philip Sousa was rrgard- ed in England as quite the peer of Cody.
 More than a year ago he cOnl- plaineH that the rivalry of the moving pictures was hurting his business. Perhaps that was one of the influences which caused his failure; moving pictures have revealed vividly the life of the whole world to the untraveled at a very small cost. But the in- terest in he perils of pioneer ing and the picturesque life of the unsettled West is not so keen with the present generation as with it's predecessor,

Willing to Compromise.

At a theatrical performance a woman whose ticket only entitled her to a seat in the gallery insisted upon standing in the orchestra aisle.
 The manager was called upon to talk to the lady after the usher fail ed to convince her that she was not within her rights.
 "You paid only 50 cents for your ticket" said the manager, "and it does not entitle you to stand down. stairs, and we are not selling stand ing room here anyhow this after noon."
 "What do you charge for stand ing room down here when you dc sell it?" demanded the woman.
 "A dollar" was the managers response.
 "Then I'll stand on one foot dur ing the rest of the performance ; she replied.-Exchange.

A Rat Ridden Island.

The loneliest spot on earth, ac- cording to an English historian, is Tristan d'Acuna. It is an island hundreds and hundreds of miles away from it's nearest neighbors. A tiny oasis in boundless ocean, no matter which way you go. It is rocky, with a solitary mountain 1000 feet high. A shepherd com munity lives there, farmers, cattle raisers, etc. In the valley of the island are fertile fields, where pota- toes are grown, and the food of the people consists of beef, fowls and fish. The island formerly produced many fruits and vegetables, but they can no longer be grown there, for the island is overrun by rats which escaped from a ship, and the people have never been able to rid themselves wholly of them.

LURE OF TIE: ARCTIC.
problsms That Await tho ExpIorers of
 the Future.

the Future.
 With all that has been accom- plished, many hundred thousands of square miles still remain in the 3,OO0,OO0 square miles of unchart- ed territory that existed prior to the expedition that resulted in the discovery of the pole.
 Of unexplored regions in the north there are remaining but two of first importance, the inland ice cap of Greenland and the area rep resented by the large blank space on the map bounded by Boring strait and the pole, the western border of the arctic archipelago and the known open sea north of Siberia.
 The theories of cotidal experts have it that within this region lies an undiscovered arctic continent or a series of large islands separat- cd by narrow channels, the whole not greatly distant from Banks is- land, Prince Patrick island and Grant Land (the western limit of the arctic archipelago), while tra- dition among the Eskimos and in- definite reports of whalers strength en theories in fixing the southern edge of the unknown land not far north of Point Barrow and the northern shores of America.
 I must believe in the existence of such land, one corner of which I saw from Cape Thomas Hubbard in July, 1906, in the mountain peaks of Crocker Land.
 If land of large extent be located west of Banks island and Grant Land the discovery from the stand point of future exploration will be of unusual importance, since the new land will be base for penetra- tion of the remainder of the un- known area to the west.
 In fact, since the theory of ex- istence of extensive land, one cor ner of which is Crockcr Land and another not far from Banks island, seems so likely to me and is so well accepted by many expert geogra- phers and mathematicians I would divide the remaining greatest prob- lem in the north into two separate problems-namely, the exploration of this land area and the explora- tion of the adjoining area beyond, between the pole and Boring strait.
 As I said regarding the Crocker Land expedition, l would that my years were fewer that l also might penetrate again into the enchanted solitudes. I can hear the yelping of the dogs, the shouting of the drivers and forward rushing of the slcdgcs as after days of weary trav- el across the ragged sea ice every man and dog spurts for the shore of that untrodden land lying a few wards ahead in the brilliant arctic sunlight. - Robert E. Peary in American Museum Journal.
