Macmillan walked firmly to his

other three times. To Mejia he said
eve will meet in heaven"
Mejia bowed, smiled, and laid his
hand upon his heart.
To Miramon he said:
Brave men are respected by SOW

place of honor"
As he said this he took Miramon
gently by the arm and led him to the
center cross, embracing him for the

Escobedo was not on the ground.
An aid-de-camp, however, brought
permission for each of the victims to
deliver farewell address. The en-
peror spoke briefly. Miramon drew
from his pocket small piece of paper
and read.
When Miramon had ceased reading,
Macmillan placed his hand on his
breast, threw up his head, and cried
in a singularly calm and penetrating
voice, "Firew

the emperor, three in the left and
one in the right breast. Three of
these bullets passed entirely through
his body, coming out high up on the

peror fell little sideways and upon
his right side, exclaiming almost gen

"Ohl Hombrel Hombrel OH

his stomach. The emperor moved

The DandeIOn Pest

Dandelions are getting the best of
the town farmers. They are thicker
than ever this year. An honest tiller
will go out in the morning with an
implement of war and dig up some
twenty square feet of them. The next
morning his clearing will be bright
er yellow than ever. The more you
fight 'em the thicker they get. A
writer in the Kansas City Star says
to take can of gasoline and spray di-
rectly into the heart of each dande-
lion where the blossom shoots out.
This is tedious, but not so much as
digging them out. However, two or
three have tried the scheme in EN-
NETT and they say it will not work
Another party says that dandelions
will thrive for three or four years to
beat the band and then all of sud-
den will die out. Digging out three
or four year old dandelion is like Dig
ging out stumps in forest clearing.
The roots are several feet long. Ev- |
cry particle of the root must be got
ten out or the remaining part will
send score of roots to make up
for the invasion
The following from the Back Yard
Farmer is said to be most reliable /
remedy and should at least be tried: !
Dandelions are the greatest enemy of
good lawns in many sections, and /
they can be completely eradicated if

" HE morning broke fair ant
white in the sky, and at hal
six three carriages drew vi
in front of the main gate OF
the Convent Of Capuchinas. The bells
rang in all the steeples, there were
soldiers everywhere, and long lines
of gl.ttering steel that rose and fell
in yet the soft, sweet hush of the
morning.
In the first carriage got Macmillan
and Father Soria, priest. The en-
peror's dress was very plain. He wore
single-breasted black frock coat,
with all the buttons buttoned except
the last one, black vest, necktie and
pantaloons, plain cavalry boots and
a wide brimmed hat or sombrero.
In the second carriage there came
Miramon and his priest, in the third
Mejia and his. Then the solemn cortege
started.
The sun arose and poured its I'M
clouded rays over the city. All the
people were in the streets. On the
faces of the multitude there were evil
dances of genuine and unaffected sor-
row. Some among the crowd lifted
their hats as the victims passed along, |
some turned away their heads and
wept and some, even among the sol I
ders and amid the hostile ranks of
the Liberals, fell upon their knees
and wept.

closed on three sides by 5000 soldiers

to alight. He stepped proudly down,

Modem Theology
Enlarges Whole

Widening Conception of the
Deity Thrown Into Strong
er Relief.

THE Enlarging Conception of Cod"
by Herbert Alden Youtz published by
the Macmillans). is a sympathetic in
depreciation Of the progressive move
ment in theology. Coming at this
time of religious unrest, II should be
welcomed by a host of serious minded
religious people, disconnected with the
older statements of faith and seeking
for sure spiritual guidance.
The book is a forceful discussion OF
the charging thought of God, and
a call to adjust our enriching thought
to the task of making religion real
and vital for the spiritual need of
today. DR.. Youtz, while avowing
himself "a passionate believer in the
verities of evangelical religion" yet
urges a theological method by which
the heart shall be satisfied without
scandalizing the mind; and the mind
shall he satisfied without starving
the heart
The moralizing of religious doc
trines is the strongly insistent note.
The writer insists that theological
restatement must be in the hands of
men who are able TO think things
through to the Fundamental moral is
sues upon which the eternal righteous.
ness stands The treatment is log
ical and constructive, while burdened
with the authors sense of the great
ness and urgency of the religious
message.
An introductory chapter deals with
the present rational situation. This
is followed by an examination Of the
enlarging conception of God il mod
ern life-a plea to make our better
thought rehgiously effective Then
comes chapter dealing with theo-
logical method, in which the older and
newer methods are exhibited in their
contrasted conceptions of their task
S"-~osr've chanters treat of THE
Justification of the Method" and THE
Consequences of the Method"
Especial interest Will centre in the
discussions of the newer attitude
toward the Bible and toward Christ.
The missionary problem and the So
cial and Industrial movements of to-
day receive Illuminating and sugges-
tive treatment. THE Peril of a Safe
Theology" is an exposure of the fall
lacy of guaranteed safety in spiritual
things. The final chapter deals with
the human way to the divine; a study
of Jesus Christ as the way to God.
