War Upon Pain.

Pain is a visitor to every home and

Mobile, Ala, Feb. 17.-Eleven
German steamers interned in Canary
Island ports have been secretly arm
ed for commerce raidng and will
make a dash for the open sea, ac-
cordlnS to statement made here by
Capt. +. E. Magunc, Of the American
schooner Il. +. Murdoch, which de-
livcrd 2.100 tons OF coal to German
agents in Tenerffe, which ho saw
loaded into the bunkers of the in
termed German vessels. The MUIR
dock is in port here.
Coal Consigned to Spaniard.
Capt. Magunc refused to give the
Eamc of the agents who chartered his
schooner to transport the cargo Of
coal from Norfolk to the German YES
sells. The coal was consigned. he
said. to a Spaniard employed by a
German coal company in Santa Cruz,
Tcncriffc.
The Murdock left Norfolk Octo-
Der 2? with 2,10O tons Of coal on
which the freight was prepaid,
which she delivered there in the lat
tcrpar Of December. Near the north
w"St c0ast OF Africa she was over
hauled by a British man-o'-war. who
searched the vessel and allowed him
to proceed. That same afternoon,
Capt. Magunc said, the cruiser re-
turned and caused him to "lay to"
while the ships papers were taken
aboard the cruiser and examined.
Several hours later an officer from
the cruiser returned with the ships
papers and told Capt. Magune that
he could continue his voyage.

Norfolk intending to deliver the coal
to the men to whom it was consign-

''No time was lost in unloading my
cargo on barges, which were sent
straight to the sides Of the interned
vessels. The first German ship in
sight was the Cap Ortegal, big pas
senger liner Of some 5000 TONS She
looked like she had just come out Of
a ship yard, presenting a ship-shape
appearance, and l was told by ship
ping men that all OF the German ships

TRIALS OF FARMER IN TOWN.
Found 1t Unbelievably Hard to Sepn
rate LuXuIies from Necessities.

(Phlladelphla Ledger.)
A farmer sold his property to live
in the city, because his city friends
wore good clothes, had money in
their pockets, went to the movies, be-
longed TO clubs and enjoyed yearly
vacation" He found, however. that
the city man pays dearly for these
luXuries.
Eve came to know" he said, that
1t was just as hard for the city man
to get up at o'clock in the morning
as it was fer the country man to get
up at 5. Why SO? Because he must
not relax; he is ever on duty. He
must smile at this person. He dares
not notice any ones peculiarities or
oddities or unrea easonableness. The re-
suit is he. must find his relaxation in
the evening; therefore, the family

am glad OF the fine record the
farm boys Of the South are making.
They have the stuff in them to sue
cced if they choose to go about it in
the right way. They must show the
qualities Of self reliance, of independ-
ence, Of power Of self-help. Yet they
must remember that it is equally i'm
portant to be able to cooperate with
Others and each to merge his indivfd-
uality for the common end. or
course, no man, whether as q farmer
or city-residcnt, can succeed unless he
has the root qualities Of honesty, Of
character, Of common sense, unless he
desires TO do justice to others and at
the same time to secure his rights.
Sincerely yours,
