Urging immediate subscription to tho

curity that was back OF the bonds. in
addition 10 their being free from taxa

OF buying now instead OF waiting for
the necessity OF having money extort

far more important than the first TWO
reasons were tho last. which were in
the name of simple Justice in half way

given by the Stars and stripes. and
for the opportunity OF patriotic par

This ia no time for complaining o.

for criticism. The greatest crisis in
tho history OF civilization and OF tho
human race is facing US. and no man
Is worthy OF tho protection OF the Stars

his ali to the cause. OF course. we
are sacrificing 10 some extent now by
responding TO the governments re-
quests fer mcatlcss, whcatlcss and
other days IN order to win the war.
but that is not all. We must give our
money 10 the last cent IL need be, and
go hatless and shoclcss should 1t be

The cost OF the war is untold. The

TOKYO, May 25.-Bolshevism. as it exists in southern Russia, does not seem to have penetrated eastern Si- beria, in the opinion of Dr. H. Q. F. Thompson, who has just arrived from Russia with the Anglo Russian hos pital unit
 In Vladivostok he saw officers in uniform, though they had been stripped of their shoulder straps. In Ukraine an officers uniform means sure death, he said. Vladivostok and Harbin seemed very quiet after the turbulent cities of the South. There seemed to be no excitement due to the presence of the allied warships in the harbor. All nationals mixed quite freely and there seemed to be no more antagonistic feeling toward the Japanese than toward others.

EASY TO WRITE WITH TOES
Assertion Made That Accomplish

paratiVeIY Short Time.

When next you go to the zoo, watch
the monkeys use their hands, suggests
the Popular Science Monthly. Notice
how they seize things with their fists.
They do not use their fnger-ends as
we do. While the higher monkeys.
such as gorillas and chimpanzees, may
be taught to use their fingers, they
never learn to use them as easily as
do human beings
The monkey is primarily a tree
dweIler. It lives in forests and swings
from. tree to tree, using its hands as
hooks with which it grasps the
branches. The thumb is not brought
into play Some South American mon
keys have lost the thumb through dis
use; all that is left OF it is indicated
by a little lump under the skin
In the higher monkeys the wrist is
built like yours. It has the same num-
Der of bones. But the monkey has
never used his wrist, and so it has lost
the fexibility. The monkey can use
his fist to better advantage than his
hands.
Man, on the other hand, has used his
feet so long simply for the purpose Of
walking. that he would experience con-
siderable difficulty in using them as
he uses his hands. Yet, it is amazing
how quickly a man can learn to use
his toes as he does his fingers. If You
don't believe this. just try to write
with your toes At first the letters

with a very little practice you win
find that you can write with your foot
! mora easily than with your left hand.

As to Remarkable Longevity.

We have all read OF Thomas Parr,
who lived to be one hundred and fifty
two. Likewise Of the countess of Des-
mond, one hundred and fOrty-fve I;
Margaret Patten, one hundred and
thirty-seven; Thomas Damme, one
hundred and sixty-four; John ROvin,
one hundred and seventy-twO; and Pc
ter Torton, who reached the age Of one
hundred and eighty-fve- But these
cases of extraordinary longevity lack
proof.
In the days when those persons
lived no accurate chronological records
were kept. and dates OF occurrences
were usually fixed by associating them
in memory with other events believed
to have happened about the same time.
A mans identity was liable TO be con-
fused with that OF a grandfather OF
the same name.
Nowadays nobody lives to any such
ages. Why imagine that the extreme
limits Of longevity have shrunk within
the last two or three centuries7

CHAPTER Ill.
The O'ReiIIY.n

Age and easy living had caused Don
Mario de Castano, the sugar merchant,
TO take on weight. He had. in truth.
become so fat that he waddled like a
penguin when he walked; and when he
rode, the springs of his French VIC
toria gave up in despair.
In disposition Don Mario was prac-
teal and unromantic; he boosted that
he had never had an illusion, never an
interest outside of his business. And
yet, on the day this story opens, this
prosaic parsonage. in spite of his bulg-
ing waistband and his taut neckband.
in spite of his short breath and his
prickly heat, was in very whirl of
pleasurable excitement. Don Mario, in
fact, suffered the greatest OF all iIlu-
siOns: he was in love, and he believed
himself beloved. The object of his
alteration was little Rosa Varona, the
daughter of his one-time friend Este
ban. To be sure, he had met Rosa only
twice since her return from her Yankee
school, but twice had been enough :;
with prompt decision he had resolved
TO do her the honor of making her his
wife
Notwithstanding the rivulets of per-
spiratiOn that were cOursing down
every fold of his flesh. and regardless
of the fact that the body of his victoria
was tipped at a drunken angle, as If
struggling to escape the burdens of his
great weight, Don Mario felt a jaunti-
ness of body and of spirit almost like
| that OF youth. He saw himself as a
splendid prince riding toward the
humble home of some obscure maiden
whom ne had graciOusly chosen to be
his mate.
His arrival threw Donna Isabel into
f1utter; the woman could scarcely
contain her curiosity when she came to
meet him, for he was not the sort of
man TO inconvenience himself by mere
social visits. Their first formal greet
| ings over, Don Mario surveyed the bare
living room and remarked, lugubri-
Ously:
Ct see many changes here"

TEXANS death"
