EASY TO RAISE BANDIT ARMY fttaHUMt Lozado Mado Hunger Hit Ohltf Recruiting Sergeant and Thareby Rosa to Powar. llanuc! Lozado, the Mexican bandit, Wbone remains now lie In the cemetery Rear Teplc, in the newly made state of Kayarit, gave the key to the whole llexlcan problem by his strategy in organising armies, declares Charles ! Johnston, In The Atlantic. Lozado j was notable because he waged war j against three presidents, Benito Juares, Lerdo de Tejada and Porflrlo ! *" Diaz, and because he raised and | equipped armies of peons strong j enough to attack great cities like Teplc j ' and Guadalajara, in a struggle lasting from 1870 to 1877. It was Lozado's custom, when a new campaign against the central authorities was in contemplation, to send his ! bodyguard down from their lairs in the high Sierras to the fertile plains, with i orders to cut down all banana plants, j thus destroying tne cnier rooa suppiy of the native villages. The peons starved for a while, and i watched their women and children ! starve, then they came op the moun- ! tains In a body and begged Lozado to j moll them in his army of bandits to lead them forth to plunder, which for ; em meant simply food. This gives a clew to the situation, ; a declares Mr. Johnston, because it ; tftows that banditry and plunder are fee last resources of hungry peons, ' pressed heyond the verge when their meager sustenance is cut off. ARKS RICHELIEU'S TRIUMPH ' Why Eleventh Day of November Is Known in French History as the "Day of Dupes." Fiw people know that the whimsical title, "The Day of Dupes" has been ^ given to the 11th of November, 1630, and that it was so named on the occasion of the triumph of Cardinal Rich- i cUeu over his enemies, who imagined . they had cast him to the ground, nev- j an Aa wt n/v a fv> ? IV A19C CL&CLlkl. Marie de Medici h?d prevailed upon her weakling son, Louis XITt, to dismiss him from office as prime minister, and this scheming woman had no difficulty in persuading the fickle and weak-minded king to carry out her wishes, and, furthermore, to raise to feat dignity Richelieu's mortal enemy, fee Marshal De Merillac. j Richelieu was prevailed upon by his friends to make one last effort to prevent the ruin which seemed ready to fell on him. With this view he pro^eeeded to Versailles, then only a small hunting lodge recently purchased by Louis, where he had an interview with his sovereign. The result was that the king again surrendered himself into the cardinal's hands, and Richelieu succeeded * In binding the chains on Louis more v firmly than ever, establishing himself with a sway which was absolute. He did not fail to take vengeance on his enemies, and among others the Marfeal De Merrillac was brought to the scaffold. Football Language in Britain. However the ordinary journalist may i have to curb his pen, the descriptive reporter of football can still give rein to his fancy and his rhetoric with little fear of the sub-editorial blue pencil. To him a match is usually a "tourney*** and the ball lends itself to such varied description as "the leather," "the oval," "the globe," or even the "bounding sphere." If the players hail from Sheffield they are "knifegrindersf from Northampton, "cobblers;" from Luton, "strawhatters;" from Reading, "biscuiters;" from Devon shire, "cider drinkers," and from West i Ham, "hammer?." The swift runner is "twinklefooted," or has "brilliant hoofs." If a player * is skillful in head play, he "uses the / cranium with brilliant effect," or does f *good brain-box work." If the ball hits a man on the nose, he "receives a smacker from the spheroid on his proboscis.** Brother Dutton's Noble Work. The American secretary for the Mission to Lepers estimates that there are not fewer than 2,000,000 lepers in the world, 6,000 of whom have been converted to Christianity. Apropos of k this, the Hawaiian legislature has offered to pension Brother Joseph Dutton, who succeeded Father Damien at the leper settlement on Molokai. Brother Dutton has not been off the leper island for 33 years, and has spent S10.000 of hi? own mbney to relieve the poor creatures among whom he Urea. But he refused the pension, wishing no reward and expecting to work on to the end in the cause to which he long ago devoted his life. The world has heroes of whom it rarely hears; and it cannot be otherwise v than that such self-sacrifice must win j a higher reward than governments or the plaudits of peoples can confer.

MARKED EPOCH IN INDUSTRY Experience of Years of Warfars Should Have Effect on Coal Mining In This Country. The Inventory of the nation's resources that the war made necessary brought to light many new facte about coal mining which will be of lasting value to the industry and to the public. As long as the war lasted these Incidental lessons were lost sight of under the pressure of meeting the emergency created by the shortage of fuels, but with the return of peace the experience gained during the war is being gathered together in a series of reports on the industry, the first of which, "Coal In 1917," by C. E. Lesher, has been published by the United States geological survey, department of the Interior. The period from 1914 through 1917 and 1918 and into 1919 may be regarded as a distinct epoch in the coal Industry, of whi^h the year 1917 represented only one section, but a section which, if not the most remarkable for Its? achievements, was at once the most chaotic and the most momentous In the history of the industry. In response to the unprecedented demand the bituminous mines produced 551,790,563 tons, or nearly 10 per cent more than the output of the year before. The anthracite output was 99,611,811 net tons, an increase over 1916 of 13.7 per cent. The total output of both hard and soft coal was thus over 650,000,000 tons. This record output was accomplished by a labor force of 603,143 men in the bituminous and 154,174 in the anthracite mines. In spite of the draft the number of workers in the bituminous industry was greater in 1917 that in '1916. UNCLE SAM'S GAME RESERVE Island of Afognak, on South Coast of Alaska, Peculiarly Adapted for the Purpose. One of the most picturesquely Interesting parts of our national domain is a large island off the south coast of Alaska. It is called Afognak and is about 65 miles long by 40 in width, with a very irregular shore line and deeply indented by bays. It Is the property of the government, and in 1892 was set aside by President Harrison as a game and fish reserve. The important purpose that it serves Is that of a preserve for salmon, all the finest varieties of which run up its stream in great numbers at the breeding season to spawn. Afognak is a mountainous island, of volcanic origin, its loftiest peak rising to an elevation of 1,300 feet. In the interior are a number of large lakes, which are the breeding grounds of the salmon. One of these, Letnik lake, is seven miles long, and on its shore is located a big government fish hatchery. In the days of long ago, before the \ Snited States bought Alaska, the salon fishery of Afognak was operated by the Russian-American company, which established on the island a colony of its superannuated and pensioned employes. These were Aleuts, whose descendants today compose the native population, somewhat more than 400, though their blood is much mixed. Soldiers and Banana Growing. The New South Wales government has not been long in providing its returning soldiers with work. One of the enterprises undertaken with thi* object is the cultivation of bananas on a large scale. There Is no fruit crop that yields such a quick return as the banana and in the present flourishing state of the market no better undertaking could have been selected, given the right men. It is not work for the lazy. But among the demobilized troops are plenty of men who are young, tough and teachable. Four hundred acres have been taken as a beginning and each settler has 12 months' probation : " *e a black is intrusted to him. '! n of ?625 is j advanced to each implements, stock, and house-l?;. . tig material. The soldiers have already started and ! enjoy their rough life in the hillsi The experienced planter, Mr. C. Rose, who Is in charge, sees nothing but success ahead in reward for their efforts. Prickly Pear Proving Pest. Australia is suffering from a prickly pear pest, which takes advantage of the rivers as a means of spreading. Shoots break off from the parent plant growing along a stream and the part is carried downstream to found a new colony. Thousands of acres L~' ""I""/!

Rolling, spraying and poisons have proved ineffectual, and it is hoped that some scientist may find some commercial use for the plant Indian Women Progressing. Oklahoma Indian girls are as much interested in the canning campaign as their paleface sisters. In Backhaul county, Okla., they attend all the meetings held by the home demonstration agent, and this year made an excellent booth exhibit of the fruit and vegetables they had canned and dried. One Indian woman also exhibited 100 chickens of her own raising. ?Exchange. London's Housing Problem. The London housing board has inspected 2,000 houses that may be converted into flats.
