STRANGE MARIMBA PLAYERS.
With R0binsOn's Famous Shows.

Within the almost inaccessible
wilds of Nicaragua dwells a strange
race, undoubtedly the only remnant
C the original people who inhabited
America before the coming of the Red
Indian These people have an ancient
civilization of their own, and to see
them is to look at picture of human
ity as it was here perhaps five thous-
and years ago.
Agents of Robinson's Famous Shows
penetrated to this isolated region I'M
doubtedly the only living white men
who ever returned to tell their story.
And they succeeded In bringing with
them a band of native musicians, with
their instruments. This is the bam-
boo Marimba, marvelously sweet in
tone and played with great skill by
t!ese people. And the music which
thye produce proves that at some dis
tant period these people had devel-
oped the art Of music to high degree.
Their airs, while very strange, show
astonishing technique.
The above is only one of the MANY
novel features which distinguish the
Robinson Famous Shows from the or
binary.
They will exhibit at Americas No
vember 4th.

ENGLISH WOULD PUT
SPANISH FOR GERMAN

LONDON, Oct 19.-The educational
authorities in London are considering
the substitution of Spanish for German
a. a second language in schools and
public examinations. he advantages
Of Spanish over German are thus
given by one of the advocates of the
change:
I'VE do not want German trade, but
we do want the South American trade.
The Germans have made great prog
ress there, but the war has halted them
for the time being, so that the field Is
open to Great Britain, if we can speak
the language.
Spanish is easier to learn than Ger
man. 1t can be taught very quickly tt
student of French, which is the first
language in all English schools. ;
German is of little use outside OF
Germany, whereas Spanish is spoken
over very considerable part of the
world.
'The teaching of Spanish is beins
encouraged in the United States with
view to that country capturing Ger
many's trade. Great Britain, too,
wants share in that trade"

CHICKEN PILAU
IS BEST OF DISHES.

1 have may friends who think that
chicken pilau is the best of all combi-
nation dishes, and I am greatly dis
posed to agree with them. 1t is GER
taiply true that while you may differ
as to tht spelling and pronunciation of
this rare concoction, there can be no
debate as to it's being dish of dishes
when it comes to the eating of it.
And after you have mastered the de-
tails of making pilau, it may be of in
terest to learn that tn Century Diction-
airy gives the correct pronunciation Of
this dish as "pelau," with the sound of
"a" in the last syllable like a in fall
1t was originally an Oriental dish and
is a gerat favorite with the Moham-
nedans. A traveller of old, who first
tasted it in the East, speaks of it as
rice which hath been Sodden with the
fat of mutton AS the Orientals pre-
pare it, pllau includes spice and
sweets, but thees are usually replaced
ty "savory herbs and vegetables"
when it is made by Western cooks. If
YOU would like to make it as it is eaten
by the Mohammedans, add to your
stock, from which the tomatoes are
omitted, chopped figs, raisens and
dates, with a few raisens left whole.
Chopped lemon peel also gives a piqu-
ant favor Cook all of this u-til it is
thicvk, then add the chicken and the
blanched almonds.-Betty Lyle Wilson,

BELIEVES RAIN IS
THEIR GOOD OMEN

PETROGRAD, Oct 19.-The early
and persistent rainy season over the
greater part of the fighting front is
taken by the Russian peasants as
sign that the text inscribed on the reg
imentas standardized is On Our
Side"-is not misplaced. The Russian
places great faith in the defensive mer-
its of his rainy season, especially in
the marshy sections, where intimate
knowledge of the boys will enable To-
cal guerilla bands, under the skilled
leadership of picked Cossack dare
oevils, to keep up a continual harass-.
nlent of the German TANKS and rear.
The local peasantry alone is famil-
lar with the shifts and tricks of the
marshlands, especially in the treach-
erous Pinsk district, for there the boys
vary with the seasons and according to
the rainfall. A case has already been
reported from this district in which =
German column was cunningly sur
rounded by a small force of guerillas,
who crept by secret ways across the
swamps and raised an alarm on all
sides at once. The enemy, seized with
panic, endeavored to find way out,
and the whole column disappeared in
a treacherous morass which seemed
possible road to safety from the I'M
known strength of the attackers.
1t is still somewhat early for the
appearance of the guerillas, whose
best opportunity will come when the
snow obliterates the landscape for
all save the native-born.

PEACE.
There is peace that cometh after
sorrow,
Of hope surrendered, not of hope full
filled;
A peace that looketh not upon tomor-
But camly on tempest that is
A peace that lives not now in joys
excuses,
Or in the happy life of love secure,
But in the unerring strength the
heart posses
Of conflicts won, while learning to
endure.
A peace there is in sacrifice secluded
A life subdued from will and pas
sion free;
TITS not the peace that over Eden
brooded,
But that which triumphed at
Gethsemane. Gates.

bles Of the sailors of the two Nor

man, now tied up at the Gulfpor
docks, have reached the state depart
ment at Washington. Secretary oil
State Bryan has wired Governor Brew
or to investigate the matter thorough
ly and report If there has been a VIC

ed States and Norway.
The message from Mr. Bryan has
been transmitted to Judge James II.
Neville, of this city, who will dispose
OF the matter insofar as his tribunal
is concerned so it can go to the fed.
eral court at Biloxi. The issue be
tween the two governments came
about by the stand taken by the vice
consul Of Norway at Gulfport, O. J..
Dedeaux, and the judge of the circuit
court at Gulfport, who granted writs
of habeas corpus to the masters of the
vessels ordering the release of the
men detained In the county Jail. This,
Vice Consul Dedreaux declares invalid,
and In violation Of maritime treaties.
The crew has refused to ship on
account of the fact that the vessel is
loading with lumber for q hellioorant
port and liable of capture and be
sunk by their captors. The destina.
tlon of the cargoes is understood to
be in England. The general consul
of Norway at Washington brought the
subject before the secretary of the
United States.
