tribute to the general welfare And

M the center of the guitar, eigaret
L and bull fighting industries OF the
world, Is situated in the geographical
center of Spain, $500 feet above sea
level, in a heavy draught.
Madrid is noted in literature for its
lovers, and among tourists for its climate
The lovers average l23 in the shade as
they stand before the barred windows of
the Madrid debutantes and sigh, but the
climate Is more tickle. 1t varies from
l23 in the shade to freezing, and it can
accomplish both in the same day. The
prevailing Madrid costume in summer is
a thin suit, a fan, heavy wooden blanket
and a straw hat.
Madrid Is not as old as most European
cities. Before the 10th century it was
only a way station, and wasn't even in a
class D bull fighting league. In 1860 it
was made capital of Spain, however, and
grew rapidly. 1t now contains 100000
people, several of whom do not smoke
cigarets.
Madrid has one of the largest palaces
in the world, and handsome new rail-
way station. It has more fine paintings

The Sinful Agents

CCT HAVE been told that you are a

stranger, "and 1 have gone a consid-

to the finest line of toilet soaps ever
offered. As you must know, there is
no habit more vulgar than the use of
cheap soaps for the toilet"
There is one habit more vulgar" in

going around Fostering busy women
who need every minute of their time to

Agents are a nuisance every way
you look at them. The things they sell
never are any good, and they always
come at the busiest hour of the day,
and it's almost impossible to get rid
OF them My husband is old before his
time because of agents, and in the end
they will bring his gray hairs in sor-

when it's dangerous to be safe around

Some time ago Mr.. Curfew decided
to run for justice of the peace and I
was hoping he would be successful, for
that man knows more about justice
than all the lawyers in town. One
morning he went forth to interview
some of our leading business men,
hoping they would endorse his candi-
daCy and help him all they could. When
he left the house he was bubbling over
with confidence, feeling sure that all
said business men would jump at the

it is a tame affair, not having broken
collar bone or burned a building since
the 18th century. Madrid has y public
squares, all completely filled at all times
with gentlemen of leisure, including a

miles long, and number of street cars,

to protect pedestrians.
Madrid does most of the manufaetur-

about the size of Cleveland, Ohio. In

100 Years Ago Today

One hundred years ago today the
British under lord Wellington and their
Spanish allies defeated the French under
Marshal Soult in the battle of St. Jean
de Luz. Lord Wellington first attacked
and carried the strong position occupied
by the French on the Nivelle. He cap
tured 400 prisoners, 81 cannon and a
large amount of ammunition. The allies
having established themselves in the rear
of Soult's right, he retreated upon
Bedart, having destroyed all the bridges
on the lower Nivelle. The battle con-
tributed not little to the tide of ad-
verslty that was rapidly sweeping Napo-
leon from his position as dictator of
Europe. 1t was a costly victory for the
British, however, as their losses amount
ed to nearly 300 IN killed and wounded.
