Keeping the Pace.?Representative
Charles B. Smith, of Buffalo, sprang a
tale the other day that sounded new
and went well.
It seems that a young Irishman went
out west and took up his residence in a
tough little mining camp. He figured
that the quickest way to get over being
a tenderfoot was to mix around
and be one of the crowd. So he sauntered
into a saloon with the intention
of making himself agreeable. j
Two formidable looking persons, who
carried with them a great deal of local
color, were standing in front of the bar
which consisted of a large plank
stretched between two barrels on end.
Each had two or three revolvers sticking
out of him. As the Irishman entered
he heard one of the men saying:
"What did you shoot 'im for?"
"Aw, I just didn't like him around.
He annoyed me. So I shot him."
"Won't you have a drink with me?"
put in the newcomer.

him.
"I don't care," consented one. "Al
and I'll split a quart of Bourbon between
U8."
"And won't you have something asked
the Irishman, turning to the bartender.
"Well. I might take a tumbler of
brandy," replied the bar clerk. "What
are you going to have yourself?"
"Oh," ordered the Irishman, trying to
enter into the spirit of the thing, "just
make mine a stein of gin."
Correct*?One day the class in a
small-sized grammar was holding
forth, when the youngsters collided
with the word "notwithstanding." Immediately
the teacher dropped upon it
as a ripe subject for an example.
"Children," she said, with an impressive
glance at the class, "we have here
the word 'notwithstanding.' Can any
little boy or girl here give me a sentence
containing it?"
Came a moment of intense silence.
? >
Every little mind was cnurmng u<uu,
Then the hand of Wilile Jones shot up
and vigorously wriggled.
'Tve got one. Miss Mary," exclaimed
Willie on receiving recognition.
"Very well, Willie," smiled the teacher
encouragingly, "you may tell it to
the class."
"The man's trousers were worn out
not with standing," was the triumphant
rejoinder of Willie.
Give Them Time.?Miss Isabelle Caruthers
of the Chicago court of domestic
relations, "the only woman
bailiff," has had ample opportunity
to notice that the cleanest homes rarely
house serious domestic troubles.
"Really," said Miss Caruthers to a
special writer who was interviewing
her, "I don't like to think of how
many homes I have visited where
Hirt ?ecmed to be regarded quite as
a matter of course?something to be
expected and put up with. I shall
never forget one little slum girl with
the grimiest face I have ever seen in
my life. She told me she had three
sisters.
" 'Well,' I said, 'I hope they're not
all as dirty as you are.'
" 'Oh, no'm!' she said. 'They are
younger.' "
He Knew Her After All.?"But I
don't know you, madam." the bank
cashier said to the woman who had
presented a check.
The woman, however, instead of
saying haughtily, "I do not wish your
acquaintance, sir," merely replied,
with an engaging smile:
"Oh, yes you dp, I think. rm m?

you, whose scoundrelly little boys are

said: "Now, Henry, if you want a dinner
fit to eat this evening you'll have
to leave me a little money. I can't
keep this house on plain water and
sixpence a day.'"
Good News.?The milkman had deposited
several bottles of the fluid on
the steps of the rear door and was
about to start for his wagon when an
upper window was opened and Mrs.
Newlywed stuck her head out.
"Oh, milkman," said Mrs. Newlywed,
"do you keep your cows in a
pasture?"
"Vonsim." reolied the milkman.
"Are you certain of that?" demanded
Mrs. Newlywed.
"I sure am," replied the milkman.
"I'm awfully glad," announced Mrs.
Newlywed. "It will be all right to
leave the milk. My husband told me
to be sure and order pasteurized
milk."?Cincinnati Erquirer.

PATRIOTISM OF THE SOUTH
(Continued from Page One.)
try found herself. Up to that time,
the lines of cleavage between the north
and the south were still visible. But
when the president of the United
States called for volunteers to make
Spain lift the heel of oppression off
the neck of Cuba, the young men of
the south and the north were found
marching shoulder to shoulder, and
General Joe Wheeler, of Confederate
fame, at the age of sixty-two, was
found riding at the head of a division
of the United States army. Our country
had found herself.
Recently, when the flag of the
nation was insuited by the Huerta
regime in Mexico, our good, wise and
patient President Wilson, called upon
the soldiers and marines to protect
the honor of our nation. Prompt was
the response. One of the marines
killed at Vera Cruz was a Georgia
boy. The other day a reporter interviewed
a brother of the slain man
with a view of getting a criticism of
the government for mediation, and
this was his disappointing reply: "I
believe President Wilson is right, and
I favor his policy. Randolph has four
brothers and a father who are willing
to maKe a similar sacnnce. a wo
could not be loyal to our country and
our president, we would move out."
This expression of present day patriotism
fell under the eye of President
Wilson and moved him to write a cordial
note of appreciation and sympathy
to the bereaved family.
With a citizenship like that of the
Georgia family and a president like
Woodrow Wilson and under the
guidance of God, America is safe.
Guarding our Atlantic coast by day
and by night, are two significant
statues. One is the statue of Faith on
the coast of Massachusetts, with a
a silent finger pointing upward to God.
The other is the statue of Liberty in
New York harbor. So long as these
symbols truly tell the world that we
are a people who believe in God and
love liberty, our country is building on
the rock foundation.
God grant that we may come to a
larger appreciation of all that these
statues symbolize faith in God, freezlnm
for nil mankind and enlighten
ment for the world.
"Thou, too. sail on, O ship of state:
Sail on O, Union, strong and great!
Fear not each sudden sound and shock,
Tls of the wave and not the rock.
Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers,
our tears.
Our faith triumphant o'er our fears.
Are all with thee?are all with thee."
A MAN-EATING FISH
Col. Roosevelt Describes the Piranha
of South America.
In the May Scribners's Col. Theodore
Roosevelt describes the bloodthirsty
piranha or man-eating fish of South
America. He says:
So numerous were they that the
members of the party had to be exceedingly
careful in dipping up water.
Miller did not find that they were cannibals
toward their own kind: they
were "cannibals" only in the sense of
eating the flesh of men. When dead
piranhas, and even when mortally injured
piranhas, with the blood flowing,
were thrown in among the ravenous
" ' .1
living, uiey were uiiuiuicsicu. ... v,.~
over, it was Miller's experience, the
direct contrary of what we had been
told that splashing and a commotion
in the water attracted the piranhas,
whereas they rarely attacked anything
that was motionless unless it was
bloody. Dead birds and mammals,
thrown whole and unskinned into the
water were permitted to float unmolested,
whereas the skinned carcass of
a good-sized monkey was at once
seized, pulled under the water, and
devoured by the blood-crazy fish. A
man who had dropped something of
value waded in after it to above the
knees, but went very slowly and gently;
avoiding every possibility of
disturbance, and not venturing to put
his hands into the water. But nobody
could bathe, and even the slightest disturbance
in the water, such as that
made by scrubbing the hands vigorously
with soap, immediately attract
ed the attention of the savage little
creatures, who darted to the place,
evidently hoping to find some animal
in difficulties. Once, while Miller and
some Indians were attempting to
launch a boat, and were making a
great commotion in the water, a piranha
attacked a naked Indian who
belonged to the party and mutilated
him as he struggled and splashed,
waist-deep in the stream. Men not
making a splashing and struggling are
rarely attacked; but if one is attacked
by any chance, the blood in the water
maddens the piranhas, and they assail
the man with frightful ferocity.
Uncle Sam at Vera Cruz
Kitchener was praised for his work
at Khartoum and throughout the Sudan
when almost before the cannon
cooled he had the younger generation
learning to find and follow the road
or learning insieaa or me irttu 01 mau
Mullahs and whirling dervishes. It is
too bad that the object lesson of our
occupation of Vera Cruz cannot reach
Mexico at large?the millions of Sonora
and Chiapas and the Pacific slope
as we'' as the inhabitants of the gulf
waterfront.
Mexico's principal seaport capitulated
to the deadly accuracy of the
gunners of our ships and the valor of
the leading parties. As soon as the
"snipers" were driven from the roofs,
the firing stopped, and our reconstructive
work began. The wonderful, instant
metamorphosis from the warfooting
of that of peace is summed up
in the single eloquent circumstance
that as the Arkansas battalion paraded
?after It had kept guard over the
orphan asylum?a troop of the little
children they had protected walked in
front of them.
The candid freedom from doubledealing,
the altruism, the higher purpose
than that of loot and graft and
unbridled license, are what a people
"half-devil and half-child," find incredible
in those who represent a civilized
nation. We did not go to Mexico
to kill the people and to seize their
country- It is highly unfortunate that
what Vera Cruz has learned about the
ways of "the gringoes" cannot be
spread across the landscape from
Xuevo Laredo to Yucatan. The peons
on the rampage would then understand
that when we withdrew we
have not been defeated, and it is not
cowardice out tne suDiimny 01 morai
courage and unselfish renunciation.?
Philadelphia Ledger.
She Had the Last Word.?A country
doctor in the north of Ireland, a
bachelor, locally noted for his brusqucness
and irascibility, was driving
along a narrow lane, when his passage
was effectually barred by an old woman
who was returning from the bog,
leading an ass. whose panniers were
filled with prat, says the Pittsburg
Dispatch. The woman led the ass to
the side of the lane as quickly as she
' could, but not quick enough to please
the short-tempered doctor.
"Faugh," he exclaimed, "women and
asses are always in the way!"
"I'm glad ye have the manners to
put yours last," said the woman calmly.
The doctor drove on without further
comment.

NEBUCHADNEZZAR'S GRASS DIET
Science Now Explaina that Old King
Made His Meals Off Alfalfa.
Students of the Bible have frequently
been puzzled by the statement that
Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, "did
eat grass as the oxen," and lived in
that manner for seven years.
Dr. J. B. S. King, of Chicago, author
of the standard work, "The Chemistry
of Food," has put forward the interesting
suggestion that the reason why
Nebudchadnezzar was able to live so
long in this way was that he ate alfalfa,
the wonderful food plant which
has done so much for vast regions of
tie west. There is evidence to show
trial alfalfa grew in the vicinity of ancient
Babylon, and that its raw leave?
will, feed men.
The story of Nebudchadnezzar is
tolcl in the Book of Daniel. The great
king, at the height of his power, had
a strange dream, and called upon Daniel
to Interpret it. The prophet said
that the dream meant that:
'They shall drive thee from men,
and thy dwelling shall be with the
beasts of the field; they shall make
thee to eat grass like oxen, and seven
times shall pass over thee, until thou
know that the Most Hdgh ruleth in the
kingdom of men, and giveth it to
whomsoever he will.
"The same hour was the thing fulfilled
upon Nebudchadnezzar; and he
was driven from men, and did eat
grass as the oxen, and his body was
wet with the dew of heaven, till his
hairs were grown like eagles' feathers,
anci his nails like birds' claws."
The "seven times" is understood to
mean "seven years." The Bible narrative
tells us that at the end of that
period Nebudchadnezzar returned to
his home strengthened in mind and
bocy, free from arrogant and tyrannical
tendencies and greatly improved In
character.
Flow are we to exp.'iln this occurrence?
We know that a man cannot
live for seven years, or for rr>~? days,
on what is ordinarily called grass. Every
occurrence may, of course, be explained
on the ground that it was a
Divine miracle, but in this case it
would be more reasonable to seek for
a natural explanation. This would be
provided If we find that alfalfa grew
around Babylon.
The territory adjacent to the city of
Babylon was a highly cultivated alluvial
district Irrigated by a splendid
system of canals and laterals, mainly
planned and constructed under the
personal direction of King Nebuchadnezzar.
The plain lying on the western
bank of the Euphrates was commonly
called "Edin," and is supposed
by many to have been the "Eden" of
Genesis. It was upon this fruitful plain
that the Bedouin subjects of Nebuchadnezzar,
captured in war, pastured
the flocks and herds of their Babv
Ionian masters.
Here was enacted the drama played
by the insane king, one of the greatest
and most impressive figures in ancient
history. He had proved himself to be
an exception to the rule that strong
men in positions of power must be
ruthless also. Invincible In war, undefeated
throughout . his forty-odd
years as a ruler of a war-like nation,
he was yet a peace-loving monarch
and devoted to the work of beautifying
his capital city, Improving the agricultural
resources of his country and fortifying
both against invasion by neighboring
rulers.
Twice he marched on and captured
Jerusalem. The second time. 588 B. C.,
he sacked the city, tore down Solomon's
temple and led the inhabitants
away to the last Babylonian captivity.
This act was inspired by knowledge of
the fact that the Jews had betrayed
him to the invading Egyptians, whom
he overthrew.
But neither Nebuchadnezzar's greatness
as a military genius nor his wisdom
as a civil governor would have
kept him alive during his period of insanity
if he had not found food that
would sustain life. The question natural'y
arises, therefore, could he have
eaten grass like oxen and still live?
In the light of modern science the
answer to this question is "Yes." Here
is the explanation:
In the year 490 B. C., less than 100
years after the Babylonian king is
said to have lived and fed with the
beasts in the field, the Arabs brought
into Greece from Persia the seeds of a
plant with which they long had been
familiar?"alfalfa," At that time Babylonia
had become a part of the Persian
empire through conquest by Cyrus after
the death of Nebudehadnezzar.
The Bedouins who fed the Babylonian
flocks on the plain of Edin were
nomadic, pastorial Arabs who had
flocks and herds of their own; bred a
strain of horses that has been famous
for three thousand years; roamed
from place to place when they were
not serving in enforced captivity;
fought when they could find any one
to fight with: practical predatory robbery
and violence and stole everything
they could get their hands on. Yet
they honored with religious fidelity a
code of ethics with respect to their
pledged word that modern peoples
might copy to their everlasting credit.
They were popularly supposed to be
descendants of Ishmael, son of Hagar,
and their proper home was in the
northern part of the Arabian peninsula
Southern Arabs were an agricultural,
commercial and industrial people,
living in cities and villages.
These so-called Bedouins had known
and used alfalfa for centuries before
they introduced it into Europe, and
they had given to it the name it now
bears in this country, the meaning of
which is, literally "the best fodder."
This fact being established, it is peimitted
to assume that alfalfa grew
abundantly on the irrigated plains of
Eiabylon, just as it now grows luxuriantly
in the irrigated valleys of central
California, in Texas and other
western states.
As a matter of fact, it is not only
reasonable to suppose such to be the
case, but it would be unreasonable to
doubt it. The Babylonians of Nebu
chadnezar's time had attained to a
high state of civilization, and they
were far ahead of all their neighbors
in advanced agricultural methods.
They had the best of everything to he
found in western Asia. Is it reasonable
to suppose they did not also have
'the best fodder?"
If it he true that alfalfa grew on the
plains of Babylon in the Sixth century
before Christ, there is no element of
improbability in the statement that
Nebuchadnezzar ate alfalfa "like oxen."
for alfalfa alone of all grasses is
shown by chemical analysis to contain
digestible nutrients in the proportions
required to sustain human life. All
other grasses contain so large a per
centage of nondigestible fiber and other
matter that the digestive organs of
man cannot take from them and as
similate a sufficient quantity of nourishment
to feed the body.
The analysis may be found in Bulletin
No. 95, issued by the North Dakota
agricultural college, an official publication.
The analysis differs somewhat
from that of other samplen made
at different uimes and places, and it is
Important to note that the protein in
the North Dakota sample shows a
lower per centage than other samples.
An analysis of a sample of alfalfa hay
grown in Wisconsin, for instance,
shows 18.17 per cent of protein, and
protein is the tissue-building food element.
The North Dakota publication
gives a comparison between alfalfa
hay and wheat bran, the latter being
commonly k iown to be capable of sustaining
human life. Here is thf table:
Digestible Nutrients
Dry matter Carbo-Ether
in 100 lbs. Protein, hydrates Ext.
Alfalfa 91.6 10.4 39.(1 1.2
Wheat bran .88.1 12.2 39.2 2.7
Further proof of the food value of
alfalfa is shown by the fact that alfalfa
meal is now being manufactured
in large quantities, not only us feed
for poultry and domestic animals, but
for human consumption as well.
At a banquet recently held i.n Chicago,
participated in by former citizens
of the state of Kansar, which, by
the way, is the banner aifalfe. state,
the menu embraced cofTee, tet0 cake
and croutons made Nebraska alfalfa.

ducts made from alfalfa, and alfalfa
griddle cakes are said to be extremely
palatable.
For tbe purpose of making: alfalfa
meal the plant is cut when it has attained
a growth of from eight to
twelve days while it is young and
tender. The analysis from which the
foregoing figures are taken was of a
sample of alfalfa hay, cut when the
plants had begun to blossom, probably
after a growth of from 30 to 40 days.
The per centage of digestible nutrients
is much higher in the young plants
than in those that reach their full
growth.
Another significant fact is that fully
60 per cent of the protein Is found in
the leaves of the plant. The leaf of
the voune Dlant would therefore be
much more nutritious than wheat bran
and people have lived for considerable
periods on the later.
Remembering these facts, it seems
clear that Nebuchadnezzar, by selecting
young plants and eating only the
leaves, could have sustained life very
easily.?New York American.
