Keeping the Paee.-Representative
Charles B. Smith, of Buffalo, sprang a
tale the other day that sounded new
and went we'll.
1t seems that a young lrishman went
out west and took up his residence In q
tough little mining camp. He figured
that the quickest way to get over be-
ing a tenderfoot was to mix around
and be one of the crowd. So he saun-
tered into a saloon with the intention
of making himself agreeable.
Two formidable looking persons, who
carried with them great deal OF loca
color, were standing in front OF the bal
which consisted Of a large plans

Each had two or three revolvers stick

What did you shoot i'm for?"
"Aw, 1 just didn't like him around
He annoyed me. So / shot him."

put in the newcomer.
The other two turned and glared al
him.
"I don't care" consented one. "A
and I'll split a quart Of Bourbon be-
tween u.s."
And won't you have something ask
ed the Irishman, turning to the bar
tender.
We'll, 1 might take a tumoier o.

An analysis of sample OF alfalfa hay

protein is the tissue-building food ele-

A NAVIGATING FISH
Col. Roosevelt Describes the Piranha
of South America.

of South America.
In the May Scribners's Col. Theodore
Roosevelt describes the bloodthirsty
piranha or man-eating fish Of South
America. He says:
So numerous were they that the
members Of the party had to be ex-
ceedingly careful in dipping up water.
Miller did not find that they were can
nibals toward their own kind; they
were "cannibals" only In the sense OF
eating the flesh Of men. When dead
piranhas, and even when mortally in
jured piranhas, with the blood flowing,
were thrown in among the rayenous
living, they were unmolested. More
over, II was Miller's experience, the
direct contrary of what we had been
told that splashing and a commotion
in the water attracted the piranhas.
whereas they rarely attacked anything
that was motionless unless it was
bloody. Dead birds and mammals,
thrown whole and unskinned into the
water were permitted to float unmo-
Tested, whereas the skinned carcass OF
good sized monkey was at once
seized, pulled under the water, and
devoured by the blood-crazy fish. A
man who had dropped something OF
value waded in after it to above the
knees, but went very slowly and gent
ly; avoiding every possibility OF
disturbance, and not venturing tD put
his hands into the water. But nobody
could bathe, and even the slightest dis
turbance in the water, such as that
made by scrubbing the hands vigor-
ously with soap, Immediately attract
ed the attention Of the savage little
creatures, who darted to the place,
evidently hoping to find some animal
in difficulties. Once, while Miller and
some Indians were attempting to
launch a boat, and were making a
great commotion in the water, a pi-
ranha attacked a naked Indian who
belonged to the party and mutilated
him as he struggled and splashed,
waist deep in the stream. Men not
making splashing and struggling are
rarely attacked; but if one is attacked
by any chance, the blood in the water
maddens the piranhas, and they assail
the man with frightful ferocity.

Uncle Sam at Vera Cruz

Kitchener was praised for his work
at Khartoum and throughout the Su-
dan when almost before the cannon
cooled he had the younger generation
learning to find and follow the road
Of learning instead Of the trail Of Mad
Mullahs and whirling deryishes. 1t is
too bad that the object lesson Of our
occupation of Vera Cruz cannot reach
Mexico at large-the millions Of So
nora and Chiapas and the Pacific slope
as well as the inhabitants Of the gulf
waterfront.
Mexico's principal seaport capitu-
lated to the deadly accuracy Of the
gunners of our ships and the valor Of
the leading parties. AS soon as the
"snipers' were driven from the roofs,
the firing stopped, and our reconstruc-
tive work began. The wonderful, in
slant metamorphosis from the war
footing Of that of peace is summed up
in the single eloquent circumstance
that as the Arkansas battalion paraded
after it had kept guard over the
orphan asylum-a troop Of the little
children they had protected walked in
front of them.
The candid freedom from double
dealing, the altruism, the higher pur-
pose than that Of loot and graft and
unbridled license, are what a people
"half-devil and half-child," find in
credible in those who represent civ
ilized nation. We did not go to Mexico
to kill the people and to seize their
country. 1t is highly unfortunate that
what Vera Cruz has learned about the
ways of 1.-The gringoes' cannot be
spread across the landscape from
Nuevo Laredo to Yucatan. The poems
on the rampage would then under
stand that when We withdrew we
have not been defeated, and it is not
cowardice but the sublimity of moral
courage and unselfish renunciation.-

try found herself. Up to that time,
the lines of cleavage between the north
and the south were still visible. But
when the president of the United
States called for volunteers to make
Spain lift the heel of oppression on
the neck OF Cuba, the young men or
the south and the north were found
marching shoulder to shoulder, and
General Joe Wheeler, Of Confederate
fame, at the age Of sixty-two, was
|ifound riding at the head Of a division
of the United States army. Our coun-
try had found herself.
Recently, when the flag of the
nation was insulted by the Huerta
regime in Mexico, our good, wise and
patient President Wilson. called upon
the soldiers and marines to protect
the honor Of our nation. Prompt was
the response. One of the marines
killed at Vera Cruz was Georgia
boy. The other day a reporter inter-
viewed a brother Of the slain man
with a view of getting criticism or
the government for mediation, and
this was his disappointing reply:
believe President Wilson is right, and
1 favor his policy. Randolph has four
brothers and a father who are willing
to make q similar sacrifice. II we
could not be loyal to our country and
our president, we would move out.
This expression Of present day patri-
otism fell under the eye of President
Wilson and moved him to write cor
dial note Of appreciation and sympa-
thy to the bereaved family.
With a citizenship like that Of the
Georgia family and a president like
Woodrow Wilson and under the
guidance of God, America is safe.
Guarding our Atlantic coast by day
and by night, are two significant
statues. One Is the statue Of Faith on
the coast Of Massachusetts,, with
a silent finger pointing upward to GOD.
The other Is the statue Of Liberty in
New York harbor. So long as these
symbols truly tell the world that we
are a people who believe in God and
love liberty, our country Is building on
the rock foundation.
God grant that we may come to
larger appreciation of all that these
statues symbolic faith In God, free
dom for all mankind and enlighten-
ment for the world.
Thou, too, sail on, o ship of state;
Sail on o, Union, strong and great!
Fear not each sudden sound and shock,
'Tis of the wave and not the rock.
Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers,
our tears,
Our faith triumphant Ger our fears,
Are all with thee-are all with thee.

ducts made from alfalfa, and alfalfa
griddle cakes are said to be extremely
palatable.
For the purpose Of making alfalfa
meal the plant is cut when 1t has at
teined a growth Of from eight to
twelve days while it is young and
tender. The analysis from which the
foregoing figures are taken was Of d
sample Of alfalfa hay, cut when the
plants had begun to blossom, probably
after growth Of from 30 to 40 days.
The per centage Of digestible nutrients
is much higher in the young plants
than in those that reach their full
growth.
Another significant fact Is that fully
go per cent of the protein Is found in
the leaves OF the plant. The leaf OF
the young plant would therefore be
much more nutritious than wheat bran
and people have lived for considerable
periods on the later.
Remembering these facts, 1t seems
clear that Nebuchadnezzar, by select
ing young plants and eating only the
leaves, could have sustained life very
easily.-New York American.
