Homeless Predlcament.

Mrs. Pethick Lawrence, the English
suffragist, said at farewell dinner IN
New York last month:
1.-THE ants who protest against the
vote on the score of woman's weak
ness have been thrown into terrible
predicament by Professor Dantans
positive proof that girl babies are
stronger than boy babies. =
Their predicament is hopeless. II
is embarrassing as the predicament
of a lady who, about to be fitted for a
nair of new boots in boot shop,
flushed, bit her lip, and said to. her
self:
"'Oh, dear, which boot shall l try
on? There's a hole In my stocking,
and cant remember whether It's the
left toe or the right"

There is story of unusual inter
est to residents of Monterey IN the

zine, now on sale at all newsdealers.
Inc story. "Rat Simpson OF the '
NJ. -" is written by Mr.. Little
McClung, a native Virginian, whos'
view point ard sympathies are EN-
inentlv Southern.
The story deals with the famous
charge of the noble boys OF the
Virginia Military at New Market
and tells in a wildly realistic man
ner of the unexpected midnight
call to arms, the forced march to
Stanton, and the great heroism OF
the boys as they hurled themselves
into the fray.
Readers will find HISTORY a gem
of it's particular kind one that
will be remembered for long time

dramatic incident of the Civil War
at New Market, a fight with which
we are more or less familiar.

Searching for Hidden VIII.


The romantic story Of hidden Will
Is arousing keen interest in the neigh
borhood of Bradley Fold, little vii,
lage three miles from Bolton, Lanca'
shire, England. Search for the mis-
sing document is being made by e
woman from Gunnersbury, London.
She believes that If she succeeds IN
her quest, she will become entitled TO
q valuable estate. The search was
prompted originally by statements
made by medium at a spiritualistio
seance. The will is supposed to be
concealed in a wall sunk in shed
which has been bricked up for many
years. It formed a cellar to an OLD
house. The London searcher's ances-
tor, John Bradley, who married MS
housekeeper, was known to possess
great wealth. No will could be found
after his death. .--... :.

"If YOU wish for anything like hap

In MEMORY OF MRS. STEPHENSON

Fer many months past the many
friends and loved ones of Mrs
Holmes Stephenson, daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Revercomb
deceased, have been watching the
terrible attock of tuberculosis prey,
ing upon her. Ali was done for
her that loving hands could do,
Our hearts and hopes trembled un-
til on the morning Of Feb. 2, 1913,
when the wheel of life stood still
and she passed to the great beyond,
to meet those of her loved ones gone
before.
She was % years old.
Since July last she had enjoyed a
christian experience. Although
but a babe in Christ she gave evil
dence of q true faith. She was
highly esteemed and we'll beloved
in all the walks of life.
Robbie is one whom we shall
never forget, and although we can
mot think of her being dead with
out falling tear, yet as we review
our past lives, and think of dark
spots which have been made bright
by her kind words of hope and
cheer, we think that now she is
dwellingin the land where no clouds
ever gather to dim the eternal
brightness of an everlasting day,
whose light is God.
1t was scene never to be for
gotten, to see and hear her call her
dear husband, brothers, sisters and
other loved ones to her bedside,
one by one and exact promises
from them, not TO think SO much
of this world, that it was nothing,
but to give their hearts to God and
lead christian lives. l think these
promises will not be forgotten.
God grant that they may not! Dur
ing the last week of her illness she
asked US to sing, Nearer My God
to Thee" joining in every verse.
1t thrilled our hearts with gladness
to see her so divinely happy. And
what a glorious hope it gave us to
hear her say, ri am resting in
Jesus. He is with me. I am not
afraid to die. ;"
While with bleeding hearts we
deeply deplore the loss of our dear
sister and friend, we meekly and
humbly submit to Gods will,
knowing that while we cannot I'M
destand, yet "He doeth all things
WE'LL"
May God in his tender mercy
sustain her dearly beloved husband
in this great loss, he who has been
called upon so often in the last two
years to part with those who were
near and dear to him. We extend
to him, her brothers, sisters and
many loved ones our heartfelt SYM
pathy in their very sore affection,
and remind them that these family
ties, broken on earth, are being
united in heaven.
She was laid to rest in the family
burying ground near her old home
where she died. Rev. Starbuck
conducted the services at the house,
which was short but very impress
sive.
Written by one who was with
her continuously the last week OF
her life. R. E. g..

Monterey, Va. Friday, Feb ii 1913

Mexico comprises about 75O,OOO
square miles, being almost as large
as the whole of that part OF the
United States lying east OF the
Mississippi river. 1t has a mixed
population of about $4,000 .OOo
less than 20 per cent being white
According to late statistics. little
more than 30 per cent is of mixed
breed and a little less than 40 per
cent Indian. Probably Is per cent
is illiterate.
The country is sparsely settled
over large areas, is mountainous
and difficult of access, making ideal
conditions for guerilla warfare. The
climate in many sections is mild,
the soil productive with little till
ing, thus giving support to 'uI'
people who can get along with 8
minimum of work and spend the
better part of their time on the
warpath fighting for and against
the government or pillaging those
who have been fortunate enough
to acquire little property.
This is the country and the PEG
pie among whom revolution an
virtual anarcy now bring the Unit
ed States face to face with posi-
bic duty which all thoughtful citi
zens view with nothing less thar
CONSERVATION.
The character of Mexico and it;
people negative the idea that VIZ
can enter the country with an army
and after a short campaign come
away. 1t is estimated that it woulc
require 100000 men at the lowest
estimate to pacify the country once
we became engaged, as would very
likely happen, with combatants OF
all factors brought together by ha-
tired of common enemy. Such
campaign would cost thousands OF
American lives and hundreds OF
millions of money.
The outlook is simply appalling,
and while no American would
shrink from an expenditure of eth
er blood or money which national
duty and national honor or the
cause of civilization and our inter.
nal policy force upon us, every
sensible man will demand that, be,
fore em5arking upon so abhorrent
program, every resource be ex'
hausted to avert the necessity.
This country is to be congratu-
ated that at such a moment of ex-
treme gravity in it's international
affairs there has not become evident
in the Administration or Congress
a single trace of the jingoism that
led to the Spanish war.
If we must 60 into Mexico, we
will; but it will be donein deep ap-
probation of all that such a course
invoices or may involve.
