sented as star at the Grand theater

gambler who is locked up in q log
Jail on suspicion of having held up

side furnishes horse. and Hart es-
capes from the vigilantes just as
the moose is prepared and the tree
selected. A thrilling chase ensues.
When Hart breaks Jail he jumps
astride the horse from height OF
twenty feet. This is feat that
calls for the display of almost I'M

and it is safe to say that no other
living actor would attempt it.

AMERICAN LOYALTY

There are few words in mans vo-
cabulary more distasteful at this time
than the word "Disloyalty." There
was a time when no wrong emanted
from a person discussing the advisa-
bility of the United States going to
war with the Central Powers. But
that time passed with the declaration
of war and every American citizen is
under moral, legal and patriotic OBJ
legation to support our government
in its effort to overthrow the tyranny
of Prussianism.
Any man is exercising base treason
who condones the atrocities inflicted
upon helpless women and children
the murders of innocent civilians.
Any nation that would be guilty of
the violation of the Belgian treaty,
serming it "a scrap of paper" has for
feited the right to be classed as one
of the civilized nations of the earth.
The disloyalty of the draft is a
pity that any one would try it, for it
is a democratic, statesmanlike piece
of Legislation. There are exemptions
causes for which are justifiable.
1t is cowardly to hide behind the ex-
emption privileges of any profession
10 avoid the draft. One person is no
better than another. The minister is
no better than the merchant.
This comes to our mind as we read
of the disgraceful scenes which oc-
Cured recently in California when
three ministers Zone we'll known in
Twin Falls county who served pastor
ates in two towns) were found guilty

ELBAS VALUABLE IRON MINES
Some of Purest Metal in the World Is
Found Here, Although in Small
Quantities.

at must be admitted that the Eng
lish have not been very generous" re-
marked Napoleon as he surveyed his
kingdom of Elba from the top of it's
highest peak. Yet man more modest
than the great Corsican might have
been well content with this fair and
rich little island, to say nothing of the
title of king.
Elba today has come into a new inn
portance, owing to the war stimulated
values of its iron mines. Some of the
purest iron ore in the world is found
here in beautiful crystals although
the quantity is not great enough to be
of any wide significance.
The little isle includes all manner of
little industries in it's 10 by u mile
confines. On the lower slopes there
are fertile little valleys, and along the
beach a tiny fishing industry manages
to thrive. Besides the iron mines
there are famous stone quarries, and
the scenery is rugged and imposing on
a miniature scale. Had Napoleon been
philosopher he might well have
found contentment here.
But Napoleon was a general and
builder instead of settling down to en-
Joy what the gods had left him, he in
stituted all manner of projects for de-
velopment in his tiny kingdom, and
even conducted from here his least
known campaign. Across the blue wa
, tiers to the south of Elba is visible
| the smaller island of Pianosa, low and
fertile. Pianosa was deserted in those
times on account of the depredatiOns
of Mediterranean pirates. Napoleon
directed an expedition of 40 men
against the corsairs with the object of
adding PianOsa to his kingdom. He
probably would have led the pirates a
hard life had not the opportunity for
escape presented itself that led to
France and Waterloo.

MEXICAN BOYS WERE BRAVE
Cadets of chapuItepec Put UP Gallant
Fight at Defense of Their
City in 1847.

The defense of Chapultepec. during
the war between the United States and
Mexico, in 1S47, was almost as gallant
as was the attack. In this attack 48
Mexican cadets, among others, lost
their lives. The story is a stirring one,
observes the Los Angeles Times.
For many years the celebrated Cas-
tie of Chapultepec, where Montezuma
held his barbaric court in the sur
rounding groves of cypress; where
during nearly three centuries lived the
successive viceroys of Spain, and
where Macmillan made his imperial
home, has been the West Point Of
Mexico.
When General Scott had taken the
place by storm and General Bravo
had surrendered, a Mexican cadet only
fifteen years old, seeing the flag of his
country in peril, most of his comrades
being already slain, climbed the flag
staff, tore the banner from its place.
wound 1t around his body and slid
down, intending to plunge over the pre-
cipice in order to save the colors from
falling into the hands of the enemy.
That act of heroism being frustrated,
the brave boy. with the banner still
wrapped about him, fought until he
was cut I'm pieces. Forty-eight of these
schoolboys. ranging in age from four
teen to twenty years, lie buried in one
grave at the foot of the hill. Year
after year the cadets of Chapultepec
strew flowers upon the grave.

Would Rather Walk.

When Nellle's father came in on his
horse he got off, picked her up, and
put her on the horses back while he
shut the gate. No sooner had he
turned his back than he heard the
sound of horses hoofs and knew that
the horse had begun to run for the
stable. He looked around quickly, ex-
pecting to find her badly hurt, but in
stead she had slipped off and stood
placidly smiling. 81 fought preferred
to walk" she replied.
