and was himself a very skilled marks
man. A favorite exhibition of his was
to shoot an apple or some other article
from the head of one of the soldiers.
1t was his way of showing how skill
full the troops might become. There
were a number Of men in the ranks
who boosted the distinction that the
president had shot an apple from their
heads. There never was emulation
for this distinction, but the soldiers
obeyed orders, and when the ordeal
was safely passed. those who had
passed it were men of note among
their comrades. One day the president
missed, and there was a dead SOL
der. 1t was explained afterward that
the president had been drinking and
his hand was q little unsteady. 1t was
also explained that he felt very badly
about the incident, and sen his condo
lences to the soldiers family. He was
really a good president, and he never
got over the accident.
Salvador does not rely solely on it's
army to maintain and propagate it's
standing among Latin-American coun-
tries. 1t has taken to itself part of the
task OF promoting Latin-American
unity, with the special purpose of Off
setting the supposed imperialistic
tendencies Of the United States. There
are public men in Salvador who really
think that their country is in danger
of absorption by what they call the
colossus of the North.
At different periods all South Amer
lea has been flooded with literature,
emanating from Salvador, in which
the racial unity of the different peo-
pies is set forth and plans are pro-
posed for uniting them all against the

Much of this literature is prepared
by ~juntas, or bodies of students. The
young men are those who get easily
worked up over the specter of North
American Imperialism, and write let

all unite in order to lay the ghost

but much of it Is manufactured. What
is needed to remedy it is to have
more young Salvadorans sent to the
colleges of the United States.
Americans in Salvador, who are en-
gagged in business, and who mind their
business, have little trouble. They
get along well with the government
and with the people, though they are
conscious at times Of the existence of
the anti-American sentiment.

CarlYle'e caustlc Tongue.

A delightful Carlyle story is told in
connection with the painting OF the
portrait Of Carlyle by Sir John Millais
which was slashed by a militant suf-
fragette in the National Portrait gal
lery, London.
The portrait was painted in 1877 at
the home of Millais. Carlyle and his
niece, who accompanied him, were
both impressed with the magniGcence
of the furnishings and the objects of
art with which it was filed.
And does all this-er-come from a
paint pot?" queried the niece. The
artist replied in the affirmative. Then
this characteristic comment came
from Carlyle:
"Ah, well, it shows what a number
Of fools there are in the world"
Only three sittings were given and
the picture is classed as unfinished"
Maybe that remark is the reason why
it va eve completed.

Acting under q law of 1912, the New

sued the following rules, which are to
be followed by all consumptives in
that state:

4. No person suffering from pull

when necessary in the performance Of
household duties, unless the food be

from the entrance TO the gulf, il can
be protected by defenses on the main

Kronstadt, which lies within view of

There are small islands between
these two points. which are used to
complete the line OF defense. At no
point in this line Is the distance be-
tween batteries more than 80 miles. 1t
will be a difficult line to cross.
Almost at the very mouth of the Fin
nish gulf, a little to the north, and ly-
ing between Finland and Sweden, are
the Islands Of Aland.
Russia wished to obtain these islands
some years ago to complete her new
plan of defense, but has not been able
to do so.
1t was here hat the naval encounter
took place in which the Russians
were driven back into the Gulf OF Fin
land to their main line Of defense. The
Germans now hold the position in the
islands, which furnish cover and pro-
lection to them. From this position
they could land forces In Finland,
