her to meet the officer in command
AS she started out with the paper in
her hand, the servants. fearful for
their beloved mistress, plead with her
not to so.

were turned to wonder when they saw
the officer lift his cap and take the

halt the cavalcade.
About face" he commanded. and
back through the open gate they made
their exit. To the negroes who had
seen their home despoiled and the
household insulted for weeks this new
proceeding was a mystery.
When on the following day the
wagon drove in with a great load OF
provisions from the army the negroes
were in perpleXity. / mad told the
general that foragers had taken all
of my aunts food and had been threat

100 Years Ago Today

One hundred years ago today. while
the Constitution" president" and
other great ships of the American navy
We're kept close to port by the British
1lockading fleet, large number OF
sloops of war proved more successful
in slipping through the lines and were
harassing the enemy the whole length
OF the Atlantic coast, from Maine to the
West Indies. These clipper-built yes
sells were generally superior to their
slower sailing British antagonists. They
were thus able to maneuver more nimbly
their Iong-range guns the British YES
sells with fearful effect before the lat
ter could bring their cannon to bear. The
American vessels were also better
manned, because the idleness of the mer-
chant marine resulting from the en-
barge act had placed q large number OF
unemployed sailors at the disposal Of the

while the blossoms are of pure white
and very fragrant The seeds or kerr
neIs resulting from these finally be-
come the hard nuts of commerce. A
group Of so to 80 nuts are encased in
a huge, knObbV, rough, brown husk
which looks something like a huge
chestnut bur. The nuts mature very
slowly, requiring from blossom to
ripeness fully a year. When full ripe
they are about the size of small pota-
toes, of very hard, white compost
tion, very fine grained, and closely
resemble dentine ivory in all its
characteristics. The trees are said to
begin bearing in their sixth year and
live from so to 100 years.
Hundreds Of natives make a bust
ness of gathering these nuts from the
wild trees of the interior Of Ecuador,
collect them on RATS and float them
down the rivers to Pacific ports,
where they are sold to the exporters.
The Importance Of the industry has
grown until now the United States
alone buys annually about 10000 tons
o. tagua nuts for which the pUr-
chasers pay, including export and i'm
port duties and transportation charges
about $4,000 600. There are % Vege-
table ivory factories in this country
and no less than $4,000. 600 is in
vested in the industry which gives en-
plOyment to not less than 10000 peO-

THE GRAND JURY REPORT.

EuILOT EI FaSO Herald.
The report Of the FL Paso grand jury pub
Ished in your March . issue is typicA OF
such reports in license territory. Its princi-
pal feature is a recital Of the lawlessness
Of the liquor business. This time the usual
recommendation Of the jury is stated thus
I'VE recommend that the court and all
peace officers Of the state, county and city
take aggressive steps to vigorously prosecute
and stop the numerous violations Of the IL
quor laws IN our community which are rap
idly on the Increase
You viii observe that the grand Jury says
that about One-haf the bills returned are
for violations Of the liquor laws. The stock
argument against prohibition is that prOhib-
llory laws are violated with resulting law
leSSneSs and disrespeCt for the law The
grand jury reports show that this argument
applies with great force against license and
regulation Of the liquor traffic. it being
necessary to substitute the words license
and regulation for the word. prohibition,
only. ]. L. Campbell
