FATHER WAS ONE EXCEPTION
Characteristic Story of Makeup of
English Milltants-Mrs. Blanc
Was Easy on Everything.

Mrs. Pethick Lawrence, the noted
English suffragette, said the other day
to New York reporter.
"Your idea of militants is that
we are vixens, tartars, man-haters.
But, as a matter of fact, we have in
our ranks some of the most elegant
and fascinating women in London So
ciety.
mo, the militant is not like Mrs.
Blanc, who said to her daughter one
day:
"T am certainly easy on shoes.
Look at this pair of elastic sides. I've
worn them three years, and they're
still as good as new. I'm easy on
clothes, too. There's my tweed-just
as fresh as the day bought 1t, seven
years ago. And hats, gloves, stock
ings-in fact, I'm easy on every
thing"
Except father, eh?' said the
daughter, without looking up from
her book."-St. Louis Globe-Demo

pleted so as to link all of the princi'
pal towns, which are situated on the
coast. The fare for the motor ride
is eight dollars, and it gives a first
rate opportunity of seeing the inland
vegetation of Porto Rico.
There are forty rivers in Porto Rico
not counting smaller streams, and its
well-watered soil Is tremendously pro
life. On every hand one sees sugar
plantations, tobacco fields and coffee
growing on a wholesale scale. Indeed
there is very little unoccupied land on
the island. Even the poor people cling
to their holdings, realizing the wealth
and the benefits constantly accruine
to them in the way of increased pro
duction from the educational efforts oil
the agriculture station at Mayaguez
The United States government, how
ever, has set aside $4,000 acres in the
rugged mountainous region of the east
ern section as forest preserve. This
tropical wilderness is densely clothed
with verdure, bits of 1t having never
been explored, it is said, and embraces
in its extent the cloudtipped cone OF
FL Yunque, previously alluded to
Accents of this mountain are more
difficult than might be supposed
owing to the virgin condition of its for
ests, but they are we'll worth while
especially if the day be clear. Upon
such occasions one may view the en-
tire island, and glimpse the neighbor
ing islands of Culebra and Vieques
Another point of interest, famed for its
magnificent view, is the Aibonito pass
the summit of mountains crossed by
the Military road. One pauses here
for few moments to view through
the narrow gap the Caribbean on one
hand and the Atlantic on the other.

Camphor In the PHILIPPINES.

The bureau of science of the Phil
ippine government is making study
of the plant known as Blumea balsami-
fera, known by the natives in the Phil.
ippines as "sambon" or "gabuen,"
which produces camphor. The shrub
is one of the most common weeds in
the Philippines. 1t grows from five
to eight feet high, with stem almost
woody in texture, and has long been
used by the natives of the Philippines
as well as by natives of China for
medical purposes. The Chinese IN
parts of Kwangtung and Kwangsi
provinces already distill considerable
camphor from the plant, the CHIEF
drawback to the more extensive use
of it being the amount of labor re-
CURED to secure the gum. The bureau
of forestry at Manila is introducing
the ordinary camphor tree OF emma
and Japan into the mountain dlstrlcts
Of Luzon in large numbers for the pur-
pose of building up future camphor
production in the islands.

Battle of Blenheifn.

The Nibel river where it falls into
the Danube is divided into several
branches, with marshy ground be-
tween. and the French at the battle
of Blenheim made it their left flank.
The attack on the village had failed
and Marlborough risked the crossing
of this ,narshy stream, although the
witherbas fire of the French artillery
and the assaults moved down his men
like corn. But he not only succeeded
in getting his own infantry and cav.
airy across, but routed the enemy
when he had done so. 1t is recorded
that the river literally ran blood.

1t wasn't long before the Oulad-Se-
ghir Arabs made us busy as we want
ed to be.
we had goodly supply of wine
Christmas day. got four or five liters
myself, and when 1 went to sleep I
wanted to sleep long time. But I
didn't get a chance, because in the
middle of the night the sergeant, who
was ! 1or man at drink, came and
shook us until we were reused IN.
We had no sooner opened our eyes
than we heard the bugler on the roof
cracking his lungs with the rouse"
the alarm" and the "regimental
CALL"
We bounded up to the roof with our
rifles in our hands, but no trousers on
our legs, and lined up at the ready
Good" said the sergeant, 81 was
afraid that you were all too drunk.
came up here to smoke a pipe and
found the sentry had gone to bed
with the rest of you. 1t would have
been bad job for us if hadn't want
ed that pipe. Look there!" and he
pointed to the borders of the oasis
where we saw moving figures and
plenty of them. 81 had the alarm
sounded just to remind those monkeys
that they can't catch the Legion
asleep, and the regimental call was
blown on the off chance that it would
be heard in Ras-el-Chel, telling the
ara hat
ing on here
1t was nearly seven o'clock before
they came. 1t was good that they
didn't start earlier, for there were sew
eral hundreds of them with modern
rifles. They climbed up into the palm
trees and shot down at us, but that
gave us a better chance at them for
we couldn't miss birds of that size.
Every shot we fired brought one down.
Our bugler was the first to lose his
number. He was shot through the
head, and he stood in the angle of
the parapet and remained standing
as If he were effective.
That gave us an idea, and as each
man fell afterwards we propped him
up with a bayonet behind and stood
him against the parapet. When the
sergeant went out we stuck his pipe
in his mouth and he looked regular
lifelike, only more determined. Soon
there was row of dead men guard
ing the blockhouse, and they looked
so calm and confident that the Oulad-
Seghir evidently thought it would be
too risky to come to close quarters
with us. They gave up the fight in
disgust, SO when our company came
to our rescue at the double there was
nothing for them to do.
Brave fellows, you have saved the
post" said our captain. as he en-
braced the corporal and myself, the
only two left standing. But the
worthy man was mistaken. 1t wasn't
us that saved the post 1t was those
others that he didn't embrace.
The company marched past that line
of dead defenders and saluted them.
That's how l got this bit of tin,
comrades.

Who Is Mystery Man
Of Lone TrOpic Isle

San FranciscoA Nov. 1l.-Who- is the
mystery man of Laysanl Is he one
who mas gone to the lone tropic isle
to end his days in solitude2
Such are the questions being raised
as the result of story brought back
by Captain G. A. Lunn, and members
Of the crew of the steamer o. NJ. Kel-
logg who were wrecked in mid.Pacific
and made their way to the island of
Laysan after two days and two nights
in an open boat.
Upon landing on this barren isle,
they were astonished to see q small
yacht. Later the man, wnO gave the
name Of Mike Schlemmer, greeted them
brusquely. With him were two small
children. The man claimed to be a
United States government representa-
tive. Investigation has shown that this
government has no such representative
there.
When the snip wrecked party arrived
on the island they were treated as
poachers by the "mystery man.. !" They
were denied the right to shoot birds OF
60 about freely. He allowed them to
use his yacht to reach Midway Island
however.

STOMACH MISERY
QUICKLY VANISHES

Your money back if You want it is
the way in which Daniel j. Fry, the
popular druggist, is selling Mi-o-na, the
great dyspepsia remedy.
This is an unusual plan, but Mi-o-na
has so much merit and is so almost in
variably successful in relieving all
forms of indigestion that he ran but
little risk in selling under guarantee
of this kind.
Do not be miserable or make your
friends miserable with your dyspepsia.
Mi-o.na will help you. If it doesn U,
tell Daniel j. Fry that you want your
money back and he will cheerfully re-
fund it.
A change for the better will be seen
from the first few doses of Mi-o-na and
its continued use will soon start you
on the road to perfect digestion and
enjoyment of food.
Mi-o-na has been so uniformly sue
cessful that every box is sold under 9
positive guarantee to refund the money
if it does not relieve. What fairel
proposition could be made.
Daniel j. Fry gives his persona
guarantee of "money back if you want
it" with every box of Mi-o-na that hi
sells. A guarantee like this speaks
volumes for the merit of the remedy.

A SIMPLE WAY TO
REMOVE DANDRUFF

There is one sure way that has never
failed to remove dandruff at once, and
that is to dissolve it, taen you destroy
it entirely. To do this, just get about
four ounces of plain, common liquid
arvon from any drug store (this is all
you will need, apply it at night when
retiring; use enough to moisten tne
scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips,
BY morning most if not all of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it, no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find all itching and digging
of the scalp will stop instantly, and
your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy
silky a.-d soft, and look and feel hun
dred times better.
