HAD NO RATIONS TO SPARE

When. at Gaines Mill in 1862, the
9Th Texas captured two whole regi-
ments Of Union soldiers, the TeY-
ans were all very pround of their
achievements. One of them has
described an amusing scene in con-
nection with the surrender.
When the Union officers gave up
their swords to Col. Upton, they
we're so prompt in the duty that he
was compelled to lay down the frying
pan which he carried in the place
of a sword and hold the weapons
presented in his arms.
Just then he noticed a commotion
at the far end of the captured regi-
ments. That wss near the timber
and a squad Of the prisoners were
making an effort to pass by big
John" Ferris of Company B, who
stood there unaidsd, ~endeavoring

Mr.. and Mrs. McBride, Mr.. and
Mrs. Mallet, Mr.. and Mrs. Miller,
Mrs. Lothrop, Ms. Truax, Mrs!
Price, and Mr.. and Mrs. Buoher

Oliver Fee end Max Collins were
on the drivers seat of the truck
and so manipulat d the big ma

The ride out had sharpened the
appetites of the crowd and the
ladies soou had a table set with
eatables prepared at home. These
with the coffee brewed by Major
Miller were soon slowed away.
Then came the resting and loafing
time, during which four fisherman
started out to catch fish enough for
supper. The writer and Major
Miller had no luck and O O return
ed to town. MIR. Mallett and Mr..
Mcbride were more strenuous and
returned to the grove late in the
afternoon, the former with one and
the latter with three small fish.
After the fishermen returned
the ladies set the table again and
the party end several invited guests
soon put away the eatables. The
ladies had prepared enough good
things to give forty people one
meal each and forty people ate it..
The baskets that left EIko filled
came back empty. After supper
came the return trip which was
made in 2 hours. All were we'll
pleased with the days outing.
LamoiIle is truly n beautiful spot
Mt this season. The running water,
the trees and their restfuI shade

TEDDY OF THE LION
HEART AND FORKED TONGUE

Recently there was published in

pen picture, a character deIincstion
of Roosevelt by Colonel Henry
Watterson thet is receiving nation
wide attention, and is being re-
printed in hundreds Of newspapers.
1t i3 a mastery effort of its kind,
such as only Wattcrson is capable
of producing when at his best. He
draws a parallel between Roosevelt
and Napoleon, hitting the Bulls
eye Of fact at every shot. In one
place he says: "The gamblers spirit
leads such men on and on, and
over the p%rccipice, which bounds
ambition unrcstrained by con-
science, Wisdom and self CONTROL"

the article Of immediate interest to

Of THE SUN;
SOME FACTS ABOUT IT

The eclipse of the sun on August
81 next-total in part of Europe
and Asia and partial in northeast
ern Americas attracting the
widespread attention of astron-
omers and scientists, various en-
petitions being arranged t" witness
this phenomenon. In view of the
public interes: Prof. c. G. Abbott,
head of the astronomical branch of
the Smithsonian Institution, and a
recognized authority OH solar
phenomena, gives the following
popular account Of the eclipse, and
the scientific results sought from
S Ich events. t
On August 81, 1914, the moon
will pass exactly between the earth
and the sun, ard there would be a
total solar eclipse at sunrise in the
northern States Of Canada. but in
Persia. Russia and Scandinavia the
full effect will be seen.
Although the moon locks about
the same size Of the sun, it is very
much smaller and nearer. The
sun is 365. 600 miles in diameter
and 5000, 600 miles away, while
the moon is 2l63 miles in diameter
and $4,000 miles away. On ac-
count nf the moons small size COM
pared with the sun the shadow cast
by the moon is cone, and the point
of this cone just barely reaches the
earth.
In the August eclipse the diam
etcr Of the cone at the carth's sur-
fare is only abuut 81 miles so that
the eclipse is visible as total only
in n belt about 81 miles wide
stretching over the countries named
above. The important cities of
Bitlis, Trcbizond, Kicf, Minsk and
Riga lie near the center of this
helt. 1t passes about 100 miles
north of Stockholm and Ttondheim.
The eclipse will be seen as partial
over a very wide area, including
northeastern America, Greenland,
Europe, half of Asia and half of
Africa. Within this region only a
portion of the suns disk will &c
hidden by the moon.
Wherever the solar eclipse is
seen as total, the sky will become
nearly do dark as full moonlight,
and & few of the brighter stars and
planets may be seen. The duration
of the tottlity is longest mar Kiei
in Russia, where ii is 2 minutes
and IS seconds. Sometimes the
moon and sun occupy such posi-
tons that although the moon passes
directly between the earth and the
sun the shadow on conc does not
quite reach the earth. Such solar
eclipscs are called "annular" and
are now htrc total cclipses. In the
most favorable case a total eclipse
may last over Z minutes at q sta
ton, but such occasions are very
rare.
There will be n total eclipse Wis.
lille in the United States on June
8, 1918, September 10, 1923, and
January 81, 1925.

finally allowed to enter his house.
Subsequently it was noted that
every time Colonel Neville exposed
himself in the street a shot would
come from nearby. 1t was obvious
someone was trying to get" the
marine officer.
Colonel Neville finally mounted
the balcony of the American CON-
sulate and began watching the roofs
and windows Of the house up the
street through a pair of field
glasses.
He saw Mr.. MARTINEZ sitting on
his balcony with a newspaper
spread out on his lap and smoking
a cigarette, apparently watching
the proceedings.
As he watched him the colonel
saw to his Amusement Martinez
quickly draw an automatic pistol
from under the newspaper in his
lap and fire a shot, restoring the
weapon to its hiding place under
the newspaper with lightning
speed.
Calling Il marine, Colonel Neville
pointed out the man on the balcony
and said bluntly: Get him"

fell mortalIy wounded. -EXl change.
