Which?

In travail, in travail through four long years
Labored the tortured Earth.
And what from her anguish of pangs and fears
From her blood and her sweat and her bitter tears
When she cried to God. but He stopped His ears,
Is coming at last to birth?
Is it a babe of the DID, old breed,
Born to the old, old life;
Where to trick and cheat the statesman's creed
And the pledge in word the fraud in deed,
Where all rivalry, grab and greed,
And peace but smolderiug strife?
Is babe of the new, kind,
Born to a new, world;
Where truth and statemanship go entwned,
And the spoken word is the speakers mind,
Where good willis ties the ties that pind
And Hate from her throne hurled?
Old new? Now her offspring cries
On the breast of the tortured Earth
Old new? Scarce she dare surmise,
And she longs to look, but she wells her eyes.
Is it joy that lives? Is it hope that dies
In the babe that is to BIRTH

the result of Republican plot and the
leader of the Republican party, Senior
Lerrouse, refused to have anything to do
with the matter when approached by the
friends of Infante Antonio TO raise the
question in Parliament.
1t is evident that Don Antonio had
been advised to go TO Seville, where he
could the more easily escape from his
guardian. II has been proved that man
walked out of the Hotel de Inglaterra at

handbag and was joined by another man
who walked away with hum.
No one would bc astonished at this In
Seville, where in tropical heat night Is
turned into day, hotel doors are left open
and many guests remain out until dawn.
Later Il came to light that two auto
mobiles had been seen dashing along the
road to Huelva, and that the wild Re
publican deputy, Don Alvaro Alborno8, a
friend of Don Antonio, had been seen in
one of them with a TALL thin man wearing
glasses and black beard most likely the

ors were advised to watch for the fugi-
tives, especially at the ports, and the gov
cTni1cnt requested the ofItigueSeI IfeiicH
and British authorities to refuse admit
tancc TO the fugitives.
King Alfonso naturally was much upset
and advised his aunt, Infanta Eulalia, and
her son of what had taken place.
That money was used in this affair Is
certain, because the fugitive royal ward

the help of a foreign tribunal.
Some days after Don Antonio's escape
a telegram was received from Genoa stat
ing that the Prince had landed at that port
aud he was going TO Lisbon with his
lawyer, Don Alvaro Albornoz.
The King of Spain has gwen up all part
in the affair in fact, it was only in re-

put an end 10 the Princes prodigalitiCs
and to save the lattcrs family from ruin

the royal family.
In one of the last hquidations mado by
those who were charged with the care Of
his affairs it was found that on one woman

HEALTH


A

ed OF the few acute diseases TO when

deed. IL ranks with heart disease ana
apoplcxv MS one Of the most common
causes Of death among persons over
seventy years Of age. Unlike the as
ease Of the same name that AFFECTS
younger persons, Il usually Is not
contagious or infectious. The old, IN
fact. are almost immune TO infectious
diseases; even the universal cold IN
the head is comparatively rare among
those very late In life.
Pneumonia Is either primary, when
II occurs suddenly in person pre-
viously In good health, or secondary
10 some preexisting chronic disease.
PRIMARY pneumonia IL an acute m
kflammations Of the lungs, and II FOL
Flows n sudden fall of outdoor temper
lature or an exposure TO cold and wet.
A number Of cases OF pneumonia
among the aged often accompany or
follow an extreme cold wave In the
winter, even though the victims have
not been directly exposed to the low
temperature. The disease begins in
Isidiously, so that the patient often
| does not confess to feeling really Ill
until the disease is fully established.
Ne then complains of headache and
il likely TO suffer from nausea as
well as shortness Of breathing and
feeling of construction in the chest.
Persons who are greatly debilitated
are unable TO breathe as deeply and
rapidly ms the diminished lung space
requires; consequently the insuffi-
cient aeration of the blood is mani
tested by general blueness of the
surface Of the body. There Is an IN
creased excretion from the lungs,
which the strong cough up, but when
the very weak retain in the bronchial
tubes until they drown in their own
fluids.
In the secondary forms of pneu-
monia in the aged the symptoms are
often very indistinct and are accom-
panied by few or no signs sufficient
iy marked TO indicate that the lungs
are involved. The most marked IN
dication of lung trouble in such cases
is the increased rapidity OF respira-
ton. Whenever an old person who is
i'll with any malady is observed to be
breathing more rapidly than usual,
one should suspect secondary pneu-
monia.
The treatment of pneumonia in
the aged should be directed especial
" TO sustain the strength. Only by
depressing the vital resisting powers
and by taxing the heart already
weakened by age and overwork does
the disease kill its victim. II the
heart can be sustained and the bron-
chial tubes can be kept from filling
up with secretions, the pneumonia
will disappear of itself in course of
time. Old people may recover from
two or three attacks before the end
comes.
