Margaret of France, who was born
on May IA, 1882, was one of compare
lively few queens for whom marriage
proved to be the source of almost
perfect happiness. She was French
princess and was betrothed and mar
ried when she was seventeen to King
Edward l., of England, whom she had
never seen till the day of her mar
riage. He was then a widower many
years older than she and it would
have been but natural if the young
queen should have been unhappy. But
she was perfectly in love with her
husband and at the time of his death,
when she was twenty-six, she wrote
these words: 1.-The silvery tones of
the cithera, the majestic peals of the
organ no longer charm my weary soul;
life is a heavy burden to me. :
Alas! the joy of my heart, the delight
of my eyes, the paradise of my hopes,
my only happiness, my dearly be-
loved Edward is gone!'
That Margaret was sincere in this
feeling of sorrow is apparent from the
fact that, in spite of her youth, she
never again appeared in public, but
spent her life in the care of her chill
dren and in the works of religion and
charity.
Another famous English woman
who was born on May IA is Mary De-
laney, who WAS one of the most prom
inent patronesses of literature in the

How villa Became a Bandit.

From the American Review Of Reviews
At the death Of his father. Fran
cisco, or Pancho, was left in charge
of the Villa ranch in the State of
Chihuahua and with it assumed the
responsibility of his mother and a
young sister the latter a Mexican
beauty of coquettish tendencies. Pc
coming enamored Of the county sher-
iff of the city of Chihuahua the girl
eloped with him. Forgetful of the
marriage ceremony, the couple fled
to the mountains. The enraged Pan
cho, with an escort of COWBOYS and
a priest, pursued the runaways Over
taking them he forced matrimony
upon the unwilling sheriff; then.
handing him a shovel, commanded his
brother in-laW to dig a grave. That
horrid task completed, Pancho shot
down the terrified bridegroom and
rolled his body into the pit
This incident was lurid enough to
startle authorities hardened to crime
and lawlessness, and it was necessary
for the murderer effectually to alb
sent himself from the justice that
was soon on his trail. With that es-
cape began his life of bandit and ma
rauder For fifteen years he roamed
the Durango and Chihuahua Sier-
ras. Porfirio Diaz had bid $50 900 for
his head and the inspired rurales
tracked him from hiding place to hid

of this period. "I have had forty

Cloud caps form on mountain tops
when current of moist air ascends
the slope of the mountain, for the
air cools as it rises and the moisture
in it condenses, says Youths Com
panion. On the flat top>of Table Noun
tain, near Capetown, strong south
east wind produces horizontal sheet
Of cloud known as the "tablecloth.
This cloud often appears to pour over
the steep leeward side of the noun
tain like mighty cataract. The
spreading of the tableclothV is a
sign of bad weather. At little dis
tance from the mountain a second
cloud often forms. A similar pair
of clouds seen near Cross Fell, In
England. are known as the helm and
bar" The helm, or helmet, forms
over the mountain when violent
wind, known as the "helmwind," is
blowing; the bar appears mile or
two to leeward.
At Callao, on the coast of Peru,
sailors often encounter foul-smell-

coating on white paint and metal,

Another remarkable fog on the Peru
Wan coast is known as the garus.
It occurs in region where rain is
unknown, and supplies sufficient
moisture to support vegetation Red
fogs frequently occur off the north
west coast of Africa, between the
Canaries and the Cape Verde Islands.
They are sometimes as dense as to
make navigation difficult. The color
is due to dust that the trade wind
brings from the Sahara Desert.

The Shah of Persia once gazed in
wonder at English ladies and gen
tlemen dancing Can they not hire
persons to do it for them?" he in
uuired He supposed that to look at
dancing was more pleasurable than
to dance.
II has been truly said that the main
pleasures of life come through eX-
preston rather than impression. We
soon exhaust the pleasure of having
things, but if we properly employ our
energies we never exhaust the pleas
ure of doing things.
Most people are looking and hoping
for release from work, and yet all
history and all experience prove that
busy people, those who are constantly
occupied, are the happiest. In fact,
idleness is a great curse. 1t is an
absolute foe to happiness, The most
unhappy person in the world is the
one without employment; no amount
of money can take the place of work
1t is not natural for the human ma
chinery to remain idle. There are a
thousand indications in a mans
economy that he was made for work,
for strong vigorous action.
One of the most discouraging
phases OIL our modern ll1e is Ine large
and ever increasing number of people
who have no serious purpose in life,
who spend their time turning money
into nothing, nothing that counts,
nothing that is worth while. Their
principal occupation is chasing after
pleasure, and of course they are dis
appointed and discontented. Happi-
ness is a product which comes from
doing things worth while, from MAX
ing oneself useful to the world, in
doing ones share of the worlds work.
There is no place in the universe
for the idler; everything was planned
and fitted for the ead-in-earnest
worker. The best evidence that the
idler is out of place everywhere is

The several days battling at Tampico which

Health comes from the normal ex-

prosperity. A mans task is his life
