Austin Texas, March THE past
week in the house Of representatives
has been crowded with legislative
grind.
Whatever else may be said for or
against the present Legislature It can
be truthfully said that they have re-
manned on the job continuously and
earnestly, refusing to adjourn for
holidays or to take junketing trips
to various places to which they have
been invited
The equal suffrage resolution was
J the principal drawing card the past
week and on the day It was up for
! consideration the galleries were
packed with men and women inter
osted in this question, either for or
against The vote was sufficient to
! engross, but not sufficient to pass
the resolution to submission, II re-

SYRUP OF FIGS FOR
A CH|LD'S BOWELS
1t Is cruel to force nauseating,
harsh phySic into a
sick child.

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the dose" mother insisted
on - castor oil, calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form Of
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is well-found-
ed. Their tender little "insides" are
injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious California Syrup of Figs" It's
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
Of mothers keep this harmless fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
love to take 1t; that it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
en- the stomach, and that a teaspoonful
given today saves sick child tomor-
row.
Ask at the store for 50-cent bottle
of California Syrup Of Figs" which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
on each bottle. Adv.

Moving Mark for soldiers.

1t is likely that in Germany a por.
ton of the soldiers rife range work
hereafter will be done with moving
figures for targets. A test of the new
contrivance at the Doeberitz range
gave good results, and the emperor,
who witnessed the tests and himself
fired a number of shots, was pleased
with the innovation.
Long rolls of paper are unwound
past given point and on them appear
in outline marching soldiers, cavalry
men, artillery in full gallop, cycle
troops and other moving objects. The
instant bullet strikes the paper the
spot of impact is brilliantly lighted
and the movement of the contrivance
is arrested for nearly a second, giving
an opportunity to see the full effect of
the shot.
1t is believed that the invention
will not only improve the soldiers
craftsmanship, but will also prove val
liable in training them to aim and fire
rapidly.

they had crowned him, but never
should Umballa, through any signature
of his, put his hand into the royal

seen pity and sympathy in the faces
of many who had looked upon his en-

comfort lay in the knowledge that

tient What did the memsahib say to
thisH The memsahih answered that
she placed herself unreservedly in Ra-
mabai's hands; that Umballa was a
madman and must be treated as one.
"Ramabai, why not strike now?"
suggested Ahmed.
THE promise Umballa has made to
the soldiers has reunited them tenn
porarily. Have patience, Ahmed" Lal
Singh selected leaf with betel nut
and began to chew with satisfaction.
"Patience?" said Ahmed. Have /
none?"
So the call went forth for a bride
throughout the principality, and was
answered from the four points Of the
compass.
Between the announcement and the
fulflment of these remarkable pro
ceedings there arrived in the blazing
city Of Calcutta a young maid. Her
face was very stern for one 30 youth
ful, and 1t was as fearless as 1t was
stern. Umballa's last card, had she
but known the treachery which had
lured her to this mystic shore. The
young maid was Winnie, come, as she
supposed, at the urgent call of her IA
ther and sister, and particularly
warned to confide in no one and to
hide with the utmost secrecy her des-
tination.

CHAPTER XIIl-contlnued.

Ahmed and Lal Singh, packed away
In the heart Of the crowd, exchanged
gloomy looks. Once the army was
Umballa's, they readily understood
what would follow: Umballa would
acclaim himself, and the troops would
back him.
We have a thousand guns and ten
thousand rounds Of ammunition" mur-
INJURED Lal Singh.
Perhaps we had best prevail upon
Ramabai to strike at once. But wait.
The colonel sahib understands. He
knows that II he signs anything It will
directly prove his death warrant.
There is still an obstacle at Umballa's g
feet. Listen!"
Sadly Umballa recounted his ad-
venture in full. The daughter of the
king and his friend, the American hun
ter, were dead. He, Umballa, had ar.
rived too late.
The colonel, mad with rage. was
about to give Umballa the lie publicly,
when he saw warning hand uplifted,
and below that hand the face of All
med. Ahmed shook his head. The
coloners shoulders dropped. In that
sign he read danger
They live" said Ahmed. THAT is
enough for the present Let us begone
to the house Of Ramabai."
The Colonel Sahib is safe for the
time being"
And will be 80 long as he refuses
to open the treasury door to Umballa.
There Is great deal to smile about,
Lal Singh. Here is treasury, guard
ed by seven leopards, savage as saw
age can be. Only the two keepers
ever dare approach them, and these
keepers refuse to cage the leopards
without formal order from the king
or queen. Superstition forbids Umbal-
la to make way with the brutes. The
people, your people and mine, Lal
Singh, believe that these leopards are
sacred, and any who kills them CON-
mits sacrilege, and you know what
that amounts to here. So there he

fool the bayonet a hero,' said Dragomi- rolf in a fiery lecture to his officers. The present General Dragomiroff saved the Russians from defeat and got the St. Georges cross by himself leading the attack of four Infantry divisions on German position which bristled with ob- stacles, and was strongly defended with artillery. Dragomiroff's men got into the German trenches, and captured seven guns. The guns had to be abandoned. The general got slight wound. His at tack compelled the Germans strongly to reinforce their central positions at the expense of their right which was threat ening the Russian retreat As result of Dragomiroffs attack, the Russian re- treat was carried out in order.

 But l want to show you some of these big meat-freezing factories of the low CT half of our hemisphere. The first one we shall visit will be the Frigo- cheulo river which runs through Buenos Aires. This factory is nominal ly an Argentine institution and it is managed independently of any of the great packing establishments of the United States. Still it's oversee:s are Americans and every one knows that ;.gements and methods of working are practically the same as those of our Chicago establishments.
 The Frigerifico La Blanca has five compressors with capacity of $40, QUO tons of refrigeration and it's buildings cover acres The establishment has a capital of 0 million and a half dol Vars and it has been in existence for [. number of years. It is now slaughter ing more than a thousand cattle and several thousand sheep every day. Some ol it's meat goes to the markets Of Buenos Aires. Some goes to Europe, where it Is used for feeding the sol diers. and from now on a great deal will be shipped to the United States.

A Town Built on Ledges

From the Wide World Magazine.
 A few miles north of Marseilles, and within easy walk of the tram to Aix- en-Provence. lies a typical Provencal village that tourists usually miss. It was founded by the Romans during their occupation of the south of France. and is built in accordance with the GUS tom of that time. The houses appear to be perched on top of each other, but on closer inspection are found to be built on leges on a hillside. This hill is the most interesting feature of the place. What appears as q solitary crag is in reality castle, the rooms. for tihcations, etc, being cut out of the solid rock and forming a fortress prac tically impregnable in those days. Al the side of the castle is round toWei' about 40 feet in height and seven feet in diameter. The interior of this tower acted as the ''wireless station in Rom an times. It consisted of a series or pigeon lofts from which the birds bear ing messages, were sent direct to Rome The whole of the interior was con structed of a very hard cement, when. with the wear of ages, is now siowiy decaying. and only one perfect io.' now remains There was accommooa- ton for about 250 pairs of birds to- gether with an abundant water an" grain supply, the attendants being guar tered in the castle.

 making a product of something like 300,000,000 cattle each year. In addi- tion there are vast undeveloped lands in Paraguay and Bolivia, and Uruguay and Brazil can add millions of beeves to the future meat supply of the world.
 As 1t is the exports of frozen and chilled beef of Argentine have been steadily increasing. until they now surpass those of any other country oil earth For a long time, the Argen- tine was. behind the United States in it's exports of such products. l have tefore me the figures for the decade ending 1912. During that time Argen- tina exported almost 100000 tous or about 4,000, 000.0 900 pounds, Of frozen and chilled beef; whereas the United States exported altogether only d lit tile over S00,000 pounds. and Australia tnd New Zealand combined just about half as much as we did. In 1903 our exports in round numbers were 1io,00a tons and those of Argentina only S5,.- QUO. In 1905 Argentina had over 15C,
 000 tons and we had fallen to a little rIore than 100000. From then on the United States steadily decreased. until 1912, when its foreign shipments amounted to only 1000 tons. During that year Argentina exported 34S,0o0 tons, and now we export practically nothing, while the exports of the Argentines continue to grow. The beef exports from here last year showed a great increase, and up to now the
