We regret to see partisan iiugoism

time in TIE person o. Gifted States
Senator Fall CBepulican) Of New
MexicoN
Coming from a State that borders
on MEXICO, with its turbulent condi-
lions, 4 is'not difficult to understand
the gyretions Of the Senator from
New Mexico.
No one, Of course, underestimates
the discomfort visited upon the com
monwealths that have the misfortune
to be near the scene of conflict But
that offers no valid reason why one
or two border States should. following
the rampant lead ofsCalfornia, pursue
reckless course calculated to EN-.
broil the whole Nation in war and
expenditure.
And war is practically what colored
the remarks of our fire-eating friend
from New Mexico when. for three
solid hours on the Senate floor, he re-
lated personally underwritten stories
of atrocities" upon Americans in
Mexico and pleaded for intervention
to save this country from war with
Europe.
In all likelihood the Senator was
talking for buncombe"--in other
words for home consumption. This
sort of talk will not force the hand
Of the President nor swerve him
from his reiterated policy. For, Sena.
tor Falls denunciations to the con.
trary notwithstanding, Mr.. Wilson
has at every turn shown an intimate
with the intricacies Of the
Mexican situation. He does not mix
MS knowledge with birthstone. nor
lualify it with high-geared adiectives.

Br'er Rabbits S Come

We appreciate game this year since
we have been almost deprived of it and
of all the wild things that reach our
table none have finer flavor or yield
themselves to the art of the cook more
easily than the rabbit.
The wild flavor is delicious and
makes pleasant change from safe and
sane pork chops and beef-steaks
Sometimes there is a flavor that is a
little too wild to suit one and then
it is designated as high. This is found
IL older animals more often than in
young ones and does not always come
from their being too long dead.
The Objectionable odor may be re-
moved by soaking the iointed rabbit
IN water containing Il little soda until
the thin membrane thar covers the flesh
can be pulled off, Remove all of this
that YOU can when the rabbit will be
found as sweet and fresh as though a
domesticated Belgium hare.
Rabbits flesh is dry, so the best way
to prepare them is by stewiug or by
baking in covered pan. ANY recipe

ter Godiva for which purpose has her
majesty dispatched us to escort the
maiden to the palace"
Thus spoke cunningly the spokes-
man for the six retainers whom San.
cha had told to execute the queens
command and bring the heart of the
maiden.
Rfvarre and his wife walled in dis
tress when they heard these words,
for they felt instinctively that harm
was impending for Godiva-else why
should the queens retainers come for
Godiva at this unseemly hour of the
night? Rivarre pleaded with the men
to depart in peace and leave their
daughter to enjoy her sleep.
This information was what the men
sought. Godiva slept Then Godiva
was surely ip yonder sleeping cham.
Der. They hurled Rivarre to the floor
when he attempted to intercept them.
And they brushed the wailing mother
aside. And into the sleeping room of
Godiva the six men darted.
Godiva, awakened from sleep. sprang
up in great alarm, as the six men
rushed toward her couch. No time had
she to cry out, for paralysis seized her
as she saw, cleaning in the hand of
one of the men, dagger that men
aced her heart. BY rough hands was
she seized and held now, as the man
with the cleaning weapon pushed
away her nightrobe and prepared to
plunge the dagger into her heart.
But what was this? More men
swarmed into the room-and next in
slant Godiva realized that she had
been snatched from out of the arms
OF the first group of r'en and hence
out of reich of the cleaning dagger.
The newcomers handled her with ut
most gentleness, careful each not to
harm a hair OF her head For these
were the kings retainers, who had

other dilemma for the chamberlain.
To fail to bring the girl to the palace
at all, neither dead nor alive, would

And then Sancha would die
Whereas, IL he took the girl to the
palace alive. his worst punishment
would be banishment by the queen.
And surely twas better to suffer mere
banishment ttan to leave this world
forever. In consequence, It was San
cha's decision to take the maiden to
the palace alive. And he would trust
to good fortune to keep from the ears
of the queen the details Of what had
happened this night.
Mistress Godiva," said Sancha,
thou art wanted at the palace by the
king, who has commanded me to
fetch thee"
"The king!" cried the girl, in ut
most dismay. "Then would that the
dagger Of yonder murderers had
found my heart! For 'twould have
been better far to die than to 20 to
the king at his palace"
Meantime, Rivarre and his wife
dashed on toward Hagars cave, sup
posing that Godiva came in their
wake.
And now, before any of the fight
ing retainers could come from the
cottage, Sancha mounted his horse,
pulled the maiden up in his brawny
arms and rode away full speed for
the castle of the king Of Urania.
