The world is on the trot, and it is
some trot.
We have the fox trot, the turkey
trot, the dog trot, the gold trot and
the silly trot.
And everybody's trotting.
If we don't trot for one thing, we
trot for another.
The young man trots along in the

The millionaire trots in harness

The dude trots in the halo of his

The miser trots after his gold,
and the CRATER trots the road to hell.
The politician trots in the limelight

The hypocrite trots around in the

Death trots in the trenches of Eu-

sTEREOPTICON LOAN LIBRARY.
Novel Educational Methods OF United
States Public Health Service.

The United States Public Health Ser
vice believes that education is the
road to sanitary progress" To this end
it has established a stereopticon loan
library. probably the first Of its kind
which is daily sending out slides upon
the request Of sanitarians, educators
and other persons interested in the
PRONUNCIATION of the doctrine of per-
sonal hygiene and public sanitation.
The officials of the Nebraska State
Fair desired to stage a series of pop
lar lectures on hygiene and sanitation
They applied to the Surgeon General Of
the United States Public Health Serv-
ice for slides. Catalogs containing
photographs of the slides, and descrip-
tive matter thereon, were immediatele-
ly forwarded TO the officials Of the fair.
together with a blank on which to
make request for various slides The
fair officials filed out the requisition
and return the catalogs to the Sur
geon General. The slides were packed
and shipped, and when the lectures
shall have been given they will be re-
packed and returned to the Surgeon
General. In this way large number
of people will have received this i'm
portant information in a pleasing way.
The stereopticon loan library covers
a wide range of subjects, from sanitary
conditions in Alaska to yellow fever.
There are special collections on the
diseases of children, hOokworm, lep-
rosy, malaria, milk production, mouth
hygiene, pellagra, plague rural schools,
schools, smallpox, tropical diseases, tu-
berculOsis, and typhoid fever Each of
the sets is in duplicate and in the case
of the more frequently used slides,
there are several sets, so that the appli-
cant will not be disappointed in his Sc
lections. Not only are the services of
the stereopticon loan library utilized
by many private individuals. but the
officers of the Public Health Service
and state and local health officials
throughout the country are making use
of this logical system of public health
education

The Aeronautic Shin.

The u. S. S. North Carolina, which
has been designated by the Navy De
partment at the United States naval
|aeronautic ship. arrived at the aero
nautic station at Pensacola, Fla. on
September and was received at sea
by aeroplanes from the station which
conveyed her to an anchorage in the
bay. AS soon as the big vessel let go
her anchor all the aeroplanes returned
TO their hangers. This unique convoy
of the man-of-warsman by aeroplanes
everal thousand feet up in the air, exc
cutting graceful turns, steep dives and
spirals, lent quite a warlike appearance
20 the occasion, and stimulated the i'm
agination to picture foreign troop ships
of the present day steaming through
the enemy's war zone under aeroplane
convoy.
The North Carolina is equipped with
two aeroplane hoisting cranes, one de-
signed by the Navy Department and the
other by the aeronautic station Ex-
tensive experiments viii be started at
once in order to determine the most
practicable method Of hoisting aero
planes aboard ship upon their return
from oversee scouting flights. The
catapult, or aeroplane launching de-
vice, which has beens uccessfully op-
Grated, VIII be removed from its pres
snt location on a coal barge from
which the experiments were made, and
installed on board the North Carolina.
after which launching and hoisting
tests viii be made on the open sea
under conditions Stimulating those Of
actual battle.

CHAPTER II.


On the same day-the day of the
red death at Martinique-and but two
short hours before the pilot put the
helm of the tramp steamer Princess
hard aport. three men sat on the YER
anda of a low-roofed, white-walled
bungalow in St. Pierre.
One of these men was Ilington, q
young American. He passed around
. box Of fragrant Martinique cheroOts.
He folded up some half-dozen slips of
paper he had been examining and re.
turned them to another individual who
faced him from across the table.
"Senor Hernandez" exclaimed the
young American, "for week at least
half a hundred times--I have told
you your credentials were satisfactory
to me-"
Hernandez nodded gravely. He
thrust the papers back into pocket
and tapped them significantly.
None could be better he ex-
claimed grandiloquently. Il am Her
nandez-that is all sufficient"
Suddenly the American turned and
faced the third member of the coterie.
And what" he exclaimed, what of
Ponto here?'
This third individual was the
strangest creature of them all. He
was a Mexican; dark, very dark; low
browed; w-statured-and-fat
Hernandez nodded significantly.
"Ponto, senor," he returned. lis as
good as gold. He, too, is brave
"Win he do as / tell him?" queried
the American.
Hernandez bowed. You tell me,
senior, and tell him. He will obey"
The American turned his back for
a moment and Hernandez and Ponto
exchanged significant glances.
Ilington turned back to them. 1T
is agreed" he said. Il will take you
on. To have brave men one must
take a chance"
Ilington crossed the veranda and
entered the living room, from there
disappearing through another door. In
4 moment he was back, apparently
empty handed. Once more he seated
himself and then drew from the hip
pocket of his trousers a thin oilskin
packet sealed with sealing wax. He
laid it on the table before him.

Welcher, the mate, a surly. sallow-

kempt uniform, followed with his eyes
the captains glance
Gee whiz," he said, me neither"
Ben" exclaimed the captain, she's
splitting fire BY Godfrey, that means

This was back in 1902 The Prin-
cess. Captain Hardin's boat, was a
tramp steamer bound to New York
from the city of St. Pierre, in the
Island of Martinique, with a cargo of
cocoa, coffee, sugar cane and cotton,
and had been under way probably an
hour
You're right, captain" he returned.
"Pelee means business this trip.
Death is right"
A feminine figure emerged from the
SHADOW of the afterhouse and rushed
f,jrward toward the bridge. Behind
ler, following in her wake, raced two
sturdy youngsters. One of these
Youngsters darted past her, swarmed
uDon the bridge and confronted the
captain and his mate.
'Ie was Captain Hardin's boy, Neal

The other boy was the mates son,

Captain Hardin applied his eye to
his telescope once more. The boy
upon his shoulder followed suit.

SEND ANOTHER WARSHIP
TO RESCUE AMERICANS
Alarming Reports Reach Washington
From Progreso, Mex.-Gunboat
Brutus Sent to Port.

Washington, March 18.-Most alarm
ing reports which reached the state
and navy departments during the day
concerning danger to Americans and
other foreigners at Progreso caused
the secretary of the navy to send an
additional ship, the Brutus, from Vera
Cruz to that port.
The Des Moines is already there
with instructions from Admiral Caper-
ton at Vera Cruz to give asylum to
Americans and foreigners who may
wish to come aboard.
Authentic reports are that, not
withstanding assertions of the re-
establishment of order, there is panic
among foreigners to get out of Mex
leo City. The new government" is
under control of Rogue Gonzales Gar
"a, who was elected provisional presi-
dent by Mexican generals on Janu-
airy II.
Secretary Bryan referred again to
Americans and other foreigners who
have told the Brazilian minister that
they want to get out at once The
Brazilian minister is arranging for
their departure
The only detailed news concerning
conditions in the city comes through
the various legations and embassies
here, all of which describe them as
deplorable.
Sweden has a case against Mexico
similar to that of the United States
in the MCManus case. Sweden as
serts that one of her citizens, Johan
Eklund, was murdered by Obregons
troops just before Obregon left Mexico
City. The Swedish minister reported
that the home of Gustav Lundholm
and that of another Swedish subject
had been looted.
The department is still solicitous
about the safety of Americans and
other foreigners at Manzanillc The
United States is relying on the cruiser

SUDAN IS SEIZED
BY The MOSLEMS
10000 Tribesmen Overflow Mid
die Egypt.
PRISONERS ARE DECAPITATED
Gen. HawIey and Many Officers Killed
Also When His Command Is At
tackled by 10000 Along the
White Nile.

Berlin, Germany (by wireless to
Sayville, L. -, March pa German
merchant who has returned from
Egypt is authority for the declaration
that the whole of the Sudan, including
Khartum and also parts of Nubia, is
in possession of the dervishes.
The statements of this traveller are
published in the Vossisohe Zeitung.
He describes also an engagement near
Fashoda last December, in which
General Hawley Of the British army
and a number of other officers, with
nearly 1000 men, lost their lives.
The merchant relates a story of
the alleged uprising of the Senussi
tribesmen in November. He declares
that they destroyed an Australian
camp near the pyramids November
10, killing 200 Australians and cap
turing guns and provisions.
Later, in large force, not fewer than
$4,000, they overlooked the entire
province Of Fayum and destroyed all
railroads, including the Cairo-Assuan
line. December they destroyed the
AIexandria-Cairo railroad near Danlan-
hur.
Thousands of tribesmen responded
to the appeal of the dervishes and
December 13 10000 of them marched
in the direction of Fashoda, on the
White Nile, where General Hawley
opposed them with 5000 troops. Of
the men under Hawley all the native
soldiers deserted to the dervishes,
leaving them only 1000 men.
Most of this contingent was killed
and General Hawley and all his Off
GERS fell. Nebur-E l-Asi, commanding
the dervishes, had all his prisoners
decapitated.
AS a result of this victory all the
native chiefs joined the Gervishes,
who, January 1, took possession of
the important military post at Nasser,
in the district of SEMINAR.
The merchant also declares that the
dervishes destroyed all the telegraph
lines in lower Egypt. No word of the
conquest of the Sudan has been al
lowed to leak out.
