thickly studded with small, sharp
teeth pointing backwards. The TRAN
gular plate and its attached fms are
free TO move In longitudinal direc-
ton through a distance equal to about
one-sixth of the length Of the fish. This
movement is accomplished by means
Of four muscles In two pairs attached

ing from their attachments on each
side of the plate forward to the mid
die point on the bony arch just below
the gill openings; the posterior pair
extending from an attachment at the
center Of the posterior edge of the
plate to the anal fin. It is evident
that the fish Is able to create suction
pressure in the region Of the plate.

ing or sticking fast to some object, the
sucker mouth necessarily is closed. II
Is evident that the gills must be sup
piled with the life-maintaining flow Of
water through some other avenue. At
the upper extremity Of each gill-siat
there is an orifce provided WITH d
valve opening inward. During the dias-

inward through the orifces and is -
PEELED through the gill-slits during ne

swimming short distances In the more
Quiescent places, but seeming to de-

their creeping mechanism. They are
to be found in all parts of these noun
tain streams. from the most slender
tributaries to the foot Of the noun
tains. 1t is evident from this fact that
they are able to travel upstream"

THE SCHOOL OF LIFE.

Day by day we live and learn. Day
by day we are taught the lessons of
life.
Society is often right in its neglect
or its condemnation. Certainly socie-
ty is sometimes wrong. 1t seems to
be the lot, the chance, the fortune, the
accident, of some to be admired and
celebrated. Adulation and praise are
poured out at their feet while they
live and upon their tombs when they
die. But thousands of others intrins
ically just as interesting, with senti-
ments that mount as high on earth and
will flourish as fair in heaven, live UNI
praised ard die unknown.
This is the lesson CT LIE.
The very dehcacy of some minds
forbids their being known and appre-
ciated. Tact, facility readiness, con-
personal attractiveness,
manners and family influence help
some, and these very ones may be
lacking mentally and morally in the
attributes that are so much dead sea
fruit with others. 1t is sometimes
too frequently in fact--the most wor-
thy who fail to garner in his heart
the favorable opinion Of the world.
There are in life also broken ties,
and sometimes the hottest ties wear
themselves out like the imperfect
things. This brings us to one Of life's
important lessons, We owe to socie-
ty great duty. We must be just.
We must be true. We must cherish
divine candor. We must learn to
make the best of that which seems not
so well. We must not pour vinegar
upon the CALLING chain, but the oil of
ntleness and forbearance. If we do
many wounds can be healed and
an hearts knit together in a bet

Of his Office sixty-fve DAYS before the
election. AS the bill " : only passed
as whole, the various articles have
yet to be debated so that it is matter
of doubt whether the vice-president or
the members Of the cabinet shall be
delegated to assume the duties Of the
president. The bill is liberal meas
ure, designed to put curb on the pow
er of the administration during the
electoral period. Although lawyers
generally believe the bill to be uncon-
stitutional it will shortly be presented
to the house of representatives with
apparently good prospect of its pas
sage. In that event it is considered
certain that President Monocal will
refuse to approve it when the liberals
say they can rely on a sufficient num-
Der of votes to pass it over the veto.
Should the veto stand, the liberal
leaders talk of appealing to Washing
ton, claiming that without the pro-
lection of this law, they have no as
surance of a fair election especially
as it will be held in the presence of
troops of the regular army, ostensibly
to maintain order at the polls, but, as
they claim, for the object of intimi-
dating liberal voters. This has given
rise to much loose and violent talk as
to what extreme of violence the liber-
ais will proceed rather than be de-
frauded of the fruits of victory, to
which, they say, their legitimate pre-
ponderence of voting strength enti-
ties them.
Ell Mundo sounds an editorial warn
ing to the urgent necessity that the
elections shall be conducted without
disorder or any suspicion of unfanness
as essential to the avoidance of enoth
err American Intervention. 1t declares
that the electoral period marks the
danger point in all Spanish-Am orican
republics and recalls that of the four
presidential elections held in Cuba, two
conducted under American supervision
were marked by perfect tranquility,
OF the other two under native admin
istration, the first under President
Palma, was turbulent, and was the
precursor of the revolution of Aug
ust, 1906, and the latter, under Presi-
dent Gomez, was attended by disorders
that were only prevented from becom-
ing serious by the presence of troops

HOW TO MAKE BUTTER

(By c. A. Hutton, Division Of Exten-

BlOn, UNIVERSITY OF IeHAefs65,J
The ordinary barrel churn is I'M
questionably the best churn on the
market. There are no inside fixtures
to clean, flies can not get in, and 1t
will churn as quickly and efficiently
as any churn on the market. To get
best results, it should not be filled
more than one-third full. Beware OF
the so-oalled "two-minute" churn The
cream should be strained into the
churn through coarse strainer I'd re-
move any particles of curd. Add
small amount of butter coloring to
give the butter a uniform color
throughout the year.

CUBAN POLITICS
ANDpRES|DENCY
APPROACHING CAMPAIGN BEGIN
MING TO ATTRACT INTEREST
Insurgent Elements in Ranks of Both
Conservatives and Liberals
Newspaper Sounds Warning.
Inadequate Organization

Havana, June 12.-With the APP
proach of the close of the sugar
grinding season, and the release from
employment of many thousands of
workers, the presidential campaign is
beginning to command interest. B a
taeit understanding between the lead
ers of the various factions, political
activities during the grinding season
were confined mainly to committee
and conference work for the purpose
of consolidating the two great national
parties, the conservatives, following
President Monocal, and the liberals,
whose nominee is former Vice-Presi-
dent Alfredo Zayas.
So far neither of the parties appears
to be organized, there being insurgent
elements in both camps in addition to
numerous groups of independents who
are awaiting opportunities to make
the best terms possible for their sup
port of either side. Important among
these is the following of former Gov
ernor Asbert of Havana province,
whose ambition is to be governor
again.
The party favorable to the elt ction
of President Menocal comprises the
great bulk Of the conservative part,
backed by the power of the administra-
ton. but in Santa Clara and 0riente
provinces there are insurgent groups
who profess to object on principle TO
a second term. 1t is probable, howev-
er, that their adhesion will be gained.
The liberals continue greatly disor-
ganized but strong efforts are being
made for former President Jose Mig
uel Gomez, Juan Gaulberto Gomez,
Orestes Farara and other influential
men to consolidate all the factions in
support of DR.. Zayas. Reports that
DR.. Mendieta, who resigned from the
vice-presidential place on the Zayas
ticket, has decided to withdraw his
resignation, is considered very ancour-
aging for the cause of liberal unity.
Former President Gomez will proba-
bly, manage the Zayas campaign and
will accept a senatorship from his
home province of Santa Clara. A great
deal Of confusion exists regarding the
nomination for the important position
of Mayor of Havana, there being half
dozen claimants, including the pres
ent incumbent, Gen. Freyre de AndA
rade.

BLOCKER SAYS
C.OF c. FORALL
President Blocker Declares
Organization for the
Whole People.
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

In discussing the recent member
ship campaign, DR.. Blocker, presi-
dent of the Chamber of Commerce,
said last night: ''The results of
the campaign were very gratifying
indeed. Its success indicates that the
organization enjoys the confidence
of its members and of the citizens
generally, and that all of our peo-
pie are ready to work together for
the upbuilding of the city. One sig
nificant fact of the campaign is that
not one of the present members Of
the organization refused to renew
his subscription, and in addition we
secured 129 new members.
"Some of TIE teams at work dur
ing the campaign were badly Grip
pied by having members called out
of town; others by having members
called as witnesses before the federal
court, now in session. For that rea-
son there were large number of
people on the list of prospects who
were not seen at all. They should
not feel sighted, however, as they
were missed through circumstances
over which we had no control. Ii
those who have not been solicited will
advise the secretary they will be
furnished with application blanks"
Speaking of the future, DR.. Block
er said: "To my mind Chamber OF
Commerce is not the name Of 9
thing, but the mark of a service
force. Every business man, ] don't
care who he is, has problems IN his
own business that his fellow mer
can help him solve, and they have
problems he can help them solve.
believe that Chamber of Commerce
should be a necessary, vital part OF
every mans business, as we'll as
force in building up the city. Some
people get the idea that the Cham
Der of Commerce is thing apart
from their life and their business
But this is not so. The Chamber o.
/ Commerce is the people themselves.
"At an early date we are going Il
call a meeting of the membership q
the Chamber of Commerce, and
expect every member to be present
At that meeting we will talk abou
the things that should be done. W.

who have ideas, and then proceed t
