A War Trick of the Great Hannibal.

When Hannibal. the great Cartha-
gilman. was lighting Eumenes of Per
gamos with a feet of very inferior
strength he hit upon an article which
would scarcely be sanctioned by the
laws Of what we are pleased to call
civilized warfare. He discovered by
means of a bogus message under fag

He then caused poisonous snakes to be
incloSed in earthen jars. These he dis
tributed among several ships and or
dered them to close up on the kings
galley. In the melee that followed
the jars were flung unto the deck The
curious bombs were greeted at first
with ridicule. which soon changed to
panic when the nature of their contents
made itself manifest The galley was
extricated from the fight as soon As
possible. and the captains of the others
believing that the king had taken flight
followed suit, with the result that Han
uibal gained a complete victory.

GUARDIAN DISMISSED
After Appointment Upon
Sons Petition.

Judge Fox today dismissed the
guardian recently appointed for Will
liam Culbertson, 80, a farmer living
northeast of Greensboro. A guardian
was appointed few months ago by
the court because of his advanced age.
The guardian was appointed upon a

was unable to properly care for his
property because of his advanced age.
He was threatening to dispose of his
property In a manner which would
have been unsatisfactory to his lawful
heirs according to the testimony OF
his relatives in the previous trial.

The Supreme Confidence One Engineer
Had In His Work.


Had In His Work.
There is something inspiring about
the self confidence of the men who do
big things. A number OF years ago
the country was Mortified by the news
that Galveston had been swept by a
flood. But the mud was hardly dry in
the city's streets before plans We're
made for building great sea wall to
keep out the waters. George w.
Boschke was the engineer to whom
this gigantic undertaking was in
trusted.
He finished his work while the world
booked on with interest. Later he went
Mp into inland Oregon to look after the
engineering work of one OF the great
railroad companies that were opening
ep that vast undeveloped country.
Boschke was in camp, forty miles
from the railroad, says the Technical
World. One day an exhausted mes
kenger rode in and handed a telegram
% Boschke's assistant. The message
said that the Galveston wall had been
washed away by second furious hur
Sicane. The assistant was very much
disturbed, but there was nothing &c
DO but to lay the telegram before his

portant member of the Madero private
car party returning to Mexico.
This simplicity OF tastes characterizes
all the members of the family. Money
was lavishly spent upon their educa-
ton, but they affect no ostentation
either in manner or dress. The Ma
dero wealth can not be appraised.
About So membeFs of the family
were in Galveston the greater part of
last summer. In this party were Err
nesto Madero and wife. They were
well entertained and reciprocated
many courtesies. The Misses Herman
dez, cousins of the late president, with
several of their relatives, remained
until the fall and were active partici
pants in the social life of Galveston.
1t was their brother Marcos Herman
dez, who threw himself before the
president when arrested in the national
palace and was killed.
So many of the Madero family have
been educated in New York that they
can talk. like New Workers. The girls
are sent to converts in that city and
the boys to school there. Little Miss
Ruiz, a dark-eyed senorita, who was
at a luncheon in Galveston given by
the Misses Hernandez, talked as glibly
of the subway, the IL and other New
York features if that city of sky
scrapers was her own. They all play
bridge and are as companionable as
any American boy or girl.
To anyone intimate with the Ma
deros in their family life of culture
and refinement it seems impossible to
place them amid the tragic events OF
the last few days. The women did not
speak often of the revolution of two
years ago, but all bore their share in
those unhappy days. Mrs. Francisco
Madero, wife of the president, shared
camp with her husband whenever it
was possible and had many thrilling
adventures. Yet she, too, was too
modest to make any mention of that
time. Knowing this family as Calves

SOMETHING NEW IN A
BRIDAL SHOWER.

With the invitations to a bridal
shower was sent a request that re-
cipient would bring a long-stemmed,
white rose. with her card attached.
On the back of the card she was to
write a humorous verse or a sentiment
appropriate to a bride. The bride her
self was requested to appear very
early on the appointed day, says an
exchange.
AS each guest entered the house with
her beautiful, long stemmed white
rose, she laid it in a fiat basket which
was presented to her in the hall. When
all had arrived the hostess brought in
the basket and each rose was lifted in
turn and its sentiment read, and then
presented by the hostess to the bride,
whose arms We're soon full of the love
ly blossoms. AS the last card was read
the hostess handed the bride a piece
of wide. white satin ribbon. and the
roses were tied into great white
bunch.
For the same reception the hostess
guest received, on entering, the brides
card with the date and picture Of
the bride in the corner.
Later came another surprise entire
ly for the bride. Over the entrance in
the drawing room there was a bridal
bell made of an inverted peach basket
covered with white paper roses. There
was no clapper, but the bottom of the
basket was closed over by a piece OF
white paper through which hung four
white ribbons. The bride pulled these,
and there broke through the paper
four little gifts. which proved to be
the something old and something new
something borrowed and something
blue" to be worn on the wedding day.
The refreshment table was prettily
decorated with a eenterpiece of write
roses, and there was a brides LOAF
of frosted silver cake containing little
favors indicative of fortune; this the
bride cut and passed. Each guest re-
ceived as a final favor a bridal slipper
containing rice.

THE MADERO FAMILY AND
AMERICAN FRIENDS.

There is one city more than another
in this country where sympathy for
the misfortunes which have befallen
the Madero family is most keenly felt.
That city is Galveston, Texas. The
members of this family, as many as so
at a time, have spent the summer in
Galveston for the last six years, and
have made many friends. The family
has charming traits and is one of the
most numerous in Mexico. One of the
girls said 1t was quite a task to re-
member her first cousins names, as
she had $50 of them. Galveston peo-
pie are used to hearing that the Ma
deros have taken an entire floor of a
hotel.
Mr. and Mrs. Francisco Madero, Sr..
with a large number of relatives, were
in Galveston when Francisco Madero,
Jr., was nominated for the Mexican
presidency. His mothers anxiety was
so great, however, as TO the trouble
ahead that on his account the visit
was a brief one. y ercedes and An
gela Madero, the young sisters OF the
late president, were with their par
ents. and at a musicale Mercedes sang
several French and Spanish ballads to
Angela's accomplishments. Many pref
ty compliments were paid the young
singer. among which was a bouquet of
cape jessamines, or gardenias, as they
are called in New York. These flow
ers were sent by Miss Rebecca Sealy
