Junior O U A Nj at Scrs nton.

Scranton, January 26:-Ilespite
the inclement weather Friday even
inc of last week, good-sized crowd
in the school auditorium heard Mr.
T H Mendenhall, Associate State
Deputy of the Junior Order United
American Mechanics, in his lecture:
Virtue, Liberty, and Patriotism. y
The speaker, at the beginning said
that we had the principle of the
Junior Order of United American
Mechanics" exemplified here with d
spacious new school building, for
the order stands for compulsory
education." He continued: You
had the principles of the order be-
fore you had a Council of the order"
Mr. Mendenhall is a forceful
speaker. He is serious, humorous
and interesting in all phases, land for
As minutes he held the rapt atten'
ton of all, except when interrupted
by laughter and applause. His ad-
dress closed amid hand-clapping and
loud cheering.
Mr. Mendenhall was here in the
interest of the Scranton Council No
16S Jr o U A M, and gave a free
lecture, after which a meeting was
held of the Juniors" Several Ia
dies were present, whose presence
was welcome, because some ladies
dislike secret or fraternal orders.
We don't know why, but it must be,
because it was nearly II o'clock
when you came in from the lodge
last night" or. l never saw any
good you get from them" / don't
know what the answer is, but think
the wives will feel more kindly to-
ward fraternal orders after hearing
MIR Mendenhall expound the prin-
ciples of the Junior Order. 1t is
not yet a year old here but is in
creasing in popularity. l M G.

Syrup Pepsin is for all the family
from infancy to old age, and because
of its mildness families should pre-
fer it over all other remedies. 1t is
absolutely safe and reliable. You
will never again give cathartics, pills,
salts or such harsh physics, for they
are usually unnecessary, and in the
case of children, women and elder
ly people are great shock 10 the
system, and hence should be avoided.

by addressing DR. w B Caldwell, Ais

Turn the Baby's
Tears to Laughter.
A Gentle Baby Laxative viii Quickly
Relieve the Usual Cause
Of the Trouble.

1t is often difficult to tell yust
what is the matter with a crying,
peevish baby or child too young to
express it's feelings in words, but as
a general rule the mother will find
that there is a tendency to consti-
patton, which has brought on a
headache or nervousness. The little
one has no pain but feel out of
sorts"
The first thing to try is a family
remedy containing good but mild
laxative properties, and many moth
ers will say that their choice would
be DR. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin.
Thousands of mothers keep it in the
house for such emergencies, among
whom may be mentioned Mrs John
Kirch, Jr, 1927 Abstract Ave. Pitts
burg, Pa. She has been giving it
successfully to little Walter, whose
picture we present at three months,
Mhen he weighed IA 1-2 pounds. He
is healthy, laughing youngster to-
day and Mrs Kirch gladly gives DR.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin credit. 1t
saves many an illness and many q
large doctor bill, for by administer
ing it promptly when the first symp.
toms of illness are noticed it pre-
vents serious ailment.
1t is so pleasant-tasting that no
child will refuse it, and as it does
not gripe. the child is glad to take
it again. A bottle can be obtained

THE PLEIADEs IN WINTER
Constellation That Has Excited Rhap.
sodies From Days of Job

The Pleiadesi-once more cleaning and
elittering on high like a silvery, shining
ornamental mist or tiny cloud, like a
small cluster of minute diamonds set
within the ebon background of an Him
liable universe. says the Boston Herald.
Once more the Pleiades. once more those
seven inconspicuous suns of night united
in conspicuous and splendid star-group
The Pleiades,-in the south, on high
where the ruddy eye of Taurus blazes
ffuriously. and westwardiy Aries and
Pisces gimmer dimly to the terrestrial
vision of man.
The Pleiades!-beautiful Pleiades of the
constellation of Taurus To him who
possesses only good eyesight, six minia-
ture sky diamonds sparkle and scintillate
in delicate fire; but he that has keen
eyesight will discern another sun or even
other suns in this wonderful cluster of
stars. But a more powerful "eye" than
that possessed naturally by MANTLE
telescope "eye"-will reveal many more
suns within the ornamental domain oc-
cupied by the Plelades, and the rays of
light that fall softly, yet swiftly upon
some Photographic plate will imprison
there to be developed later as many of
2000 suns. constituting the glorious group
of the Pleiades.
Alcyone. Electra, Atlas. Maia Merope,
Taygeta, Caleno. These seven suns com
pose our Plelades, as the Peades are
popularity known. Alcyone and the other
sky-gems of the Peades associated with
and immersed amidst a nebula. Alcyone
and these other clustered sky-gems in
constant motion through the ether of our
universe in imperceptible progress
across the face of the bespangled firma-
ment. High in the south are they, gilt
tering and cleaning, minute and beauti-
ful. AS man views them today, man
viewed them centuries ago. The most
enlightened scientist of the twentieth
century can admire them as enthusiastic
ally as his comparatively unenlightened
brother of the times of job. Yesterday
the Pleiades glimmered gloriousiy amidst
evenings darkened dome; tonight they
still glitter gloriously; and toniorrow-ln
the fan, far future-they will glimmer and
glitter just as gloriousy against the
background of chill winters firmament.
Glorious beautiful, indeed. are the Plei-
ades of Taurus as they sparkle and shine
upon the planet-homc OF the divers races

have been declared, according to this
story. or which, at least would have
been deferred.
Wars have been fought for land, for
gold, for honor, but, so far as is known
but one war has ever been undertaken
for the possession OF dumb animal
and that mulel This curious event Is
assigned the recent date of 1907. Senior
Irenos Selgada was eXiled from the re-
public of Nicaragua by reason of per
nicious activity against the peace OF
mind and tenure of office of the duly
constituted authorities He took up
his residence in the neighboring re-
public OF Honduras, in close proxim-
ity to the International boundary line
one dark night SO dashing cavalrymen
of the Nicaraguan army crossed the line
and boldly captured Senor Selgada's mule
That gentleman unburdened himself to
the foreign office, at Tegucigalpa, and
urged that he be given satisfaction.
As it Glanced, President Bonila. of
Honduras, was Just then on extremely
bad terms with his Nicaraguan neighbors.
Senor Selgada's mule offered him casus
belli Clearly the theft of this mule con-
stituted an insult of such magnitude that
the honor of Honduras could be saved
only by prompt and decisive action. Ac-
cordingly, under the Instructions of Presi-
dent Boula. the Honduran minister for
foreign affairs opened up a diplomatic
correspondence with Senior Jose de Gomez,
occupying the like office at Managua the
capital of Nicaragua Full details of the
outrage, together with demand for the
immediate restitution of the mule and an
ample apology for the theft, were laid
before the Nlcaraguan foreign office This
demand was eouched in such terms as
almost to constitute an ultmatum, the
result being a spirited reply from Mica
ragua thnt amounted to a virtual refusal
to continue diplomatic correspondence
upon a matter of such little moment.
Pie War nj Mexico
Alarmed at this state Of affairs. Presi-
dent Roosevelt and President Diaz. of
Mexico set the machinery of the two re-
pubics of the north in motion and sue
ceeded in having a board Of arbitrators
appointed. But this board was unable TO
effect n peaceful solution of a question
that so vitality touched the honor of two
nations. Diplomatic correspondence
ceased. and the feelings of Honduras and
Nicaragua soon attained such a pitch that
the only recourse was war Bonilla' s
troops invaded Nicaragua, and the war
was on In earnest
Among the many wars of Mexico was
that Of 1898, known as Guerra de los
Pasteles," or the Pie War" This name
is truly descriptive. since it occurred by
reason of a few pies baked by French
pastry cook of the City of Mexico and
stolen by hungry poems. The cook en-
tered a claim for indemnity in the sum of
10000 Strangely enough the French
and made formal demand upon the Mex
lean authorities for its immediate pay
ment, and, stranger STILL the claim was
paid

two of the tradesmans horses in the
electors. territory, the grocer himself
being subject of the elector of Bran
denburg.
Grocer Declared War
Failing to obtain redress. the bellig-
erent grocer adopted what was then
perfectly legal expedient He declared
formal war on the realm of Saxony,
The declaration was accepted in duo
form and the war began. The grocer
burned farms and even villages, em-
ploying, after the fashion of the times,
mercenaries; and he soon made him
self the terror of the district. He was
finally influenced to stop hostilities,
the mediator being no other than Mar
tin Luther. Later, however, he was be-
trayed Into further acts of hostility,
and. captured, was made to suffer
death on the wheel.
An American writer has contended
that the War of 1872 may be traced to
the squeal of Rhode Island pig. Opin-
ion to the advisability of war with
great Britain was not all unanimous.
The democratic party favored IL, while
the federaltstS opposed a resort to
arms. In Rhode Island. on one fateful
election day, one lukewaim federalist
postponed going to the polls until the
last moment After finishing his chores
he mounted his horse and started TO
town to exercise his right of suffrage.
Just at the psychological moment his
attention was arrested by the loud and
distressed squealing of a pig, which
had been indiscreet enough to put it's
head between the rails of the fence
surrounding a pasture field and WAS
unable to withdraw IL. So the farmer
dismounted and tarried long enough to
liberate the unhappy pig. Then he re-
mounted and proceeded to town, only
TO find that the polls were closed and
that his chance of voting had gone.
Now when the votes Of that district
were counted it was found that the
democratic candidate for the state leg
islature had been elected by the mar
eralist who had been detained by the
tion would have resulted in tie and
the democratic candidate would have
failed of election to the state legisla-
ture.
In that Legislature there was chosen
a United States senator He won his
seat without a single vote to spare. So
If that one democratic assemblyman
had failed of election the democrats of
Rhode Island would have found them
selves unable to send democratic
senator to represent them at Wash
ington
In the United States Senate the
strange chain of circumstances de-
pendent upon a single vote reached Its
climax. So evenly was the Senate d.
vided upon the question of war with
England that the war party carried by
a single vote. The new senator from
Rhode Island voted with his party for
the war, which otherwise would not
