I dismounted from the mule, Phut he forced me back and I knew then I was a prisoner. "We rode all that night and reached Jiminez, where we camped for three hours, which was the longest we ever stopped in any twenty-four jintil we reached the Boca Grande River. 4T saw Villa at Jimenez, but he refused to talk to me.

The men guarding me treated me well and one of them told me that Villa's men 'did not love him, but were ruled entirely by fear.

Pershing's report says: "Slocum reports by telephone and asks me to repeat that Villa himself led the charge through camp with a force estimated at from 500 to 1,000 men. Eleven Mexicans were killed in camp and twenty-three altogether so far. "Four enlisted men killed and one officer and seven men wounded.

"Slocum sent five troops in pursuit with orders not to go more than two miles beyond the border.

Columbia, March 11.?Brought to a high state of efficiency as a result of the constructive methods and the thoroughness of the reorganization, the South Carolina National Guard is ready for any call which may come from the president of the United States. Whether the call be for service on the Mexican border or elsewhere the Palmetto militia can turn out 100 per cent, efficient, well trained, well armed and well officered, and fired with patriotism, prepared I A- ~ ? .Vim'n f lu answei men tuuunj o bun. The South Carolina National Guard comprises 2,159 officers and men in active service, and this is the quota which could instantly be called into service by President Wilson from this State. The National Guard is made up of two regiments of infantry, the 1st comprising fifty-two officers and 801 men, and the 2nd forty-six officers and 795 men. Col. E. M. Blythe, of Greenville, is in command of the 1st regiment, and Col. H. B. Springs, of Georgetown, in command of the 2nd regiment. The medical corps is composed of nine officers and forty-eight men, while there are eighteen civilian doctors in the medical reserve corps. The naval militia, three companies at Charleston and one at Beaufort, is composed of eighteen officers and 200 men, and the coast artillery corps of twelve officers and 315 men, a total of 2,159 officers and men available for active duty. Why a Woman Can Outlook a Man. A woman can talk longer than a man, and does so because she uses less force by a large percentage than a man does, says Popular Science Monthly. A German professor has proved by actual and very delicate measurements that the baritone singer uses far more energy than either. The range of voice differs greatly, so the percentage varies to the same extent, but as a general result it was proved that a tenor uses only from one-seventh to one-sixteenth of the lung power of the baritone or bass. The difference in the force used by the contralto and soprano is very marked and the contralto who sings in very deep tones uses at least ten times the force of the trilling soprano. The explanation is so simple that it is surprising that it was not thought of long ago. It has long been known that the tenor or soprano brings the vocal chords to* ' A "nr. tn'hro tin ? getner and Keeps tut; cugca *iuiuwuS only by the emission of air. The bass or contralto leaves the space between the chords wider open, and has to vibrate much more of the membranes to a considerably larger amount of air required. GRANT SENTENCED Negro of Edgefield is Convicted of the Killing of J. T. Durst in 1906. Edgefield, March 10.?After being out about two hours the jury in the case of the State against Joe Grant, charged with murder, the killing of J. T. Durst in 1906, this afternoon returned a verdict of guilty, and the defendant was sentenced by Judge Moore to be electrocuted on the 14tk of April. A motion for a new trial was made and refused. An appeal j to the supreme court will be taken i Grant was carried by Sheriff Swear! ingen to the State penitentiary this afternoon. In passing sentence the presiding Judge congratulated the pnblic on the good order that prevailed throughout the trial. Intense interest was manifested in the trial by the largest crowd that ever attended court here, but there was no undue excitement.

A little early care given to the j pruning of ornamental trees and si shrubs during the early part of March e will do much to control their growing and flowering habits, and enable the r home owner to have well formed b plants and well trained hedges or h boundry plantings, says a bulletin of fi the department of agriculture. The i: pruning of ornamental . trees and shrubs is, in fact, one of the first g duties that may profitably be per- g formed in the home garden. The T amateur, however, should not make t: a ruthless assault with shears nr f, pruning knife upon everything in his o yard. Flowering trees and shrubs that h bloom in the spring or early summer should not receive radical pruning at ]j this time, according to the garden t specialists of the United States de- t! partment of agriculture. Of course, if " on these plants there are dead or weak branches, these should be taken out, b and any crossing limbs that are rub- p bing and seriously interfering with ii the growth of the bush should be re- y moved. * The tips of the limbs, should tl not be cut off nor should any young y wood that does not interfere with the tl growth of the bush be removed. It] p must be borne in . id that the blos-i a som buds for this year's flowering 0 were formed last year and every t< shoot removed takes, off that much y of the prospective blossoms. v Trees and shrubs that bear their tl flowers in midsummer and which tl were not pruned in the fall may be tl pruned at this time. Plants of this sort are the rose of Sharon and the ft shrubby hydrangea. Where >,the f< largest possible mass is desired, these n plants should be pruned but little, o If the aim is to secure the largest _ possible trusses or blossom heads, last year's growth should be pruned p back to two or three eyes to a stem. Such severe pruning, however, is not conductive to the most attractive developments of Shrubs. , Climbing roses should not be pruned at this time except for the removal y of surplus or interfering branches. Every bit of wood removed now reduces the amount of bloom the plant will bear during the coming season. Roses used in border planting should be treated in exactly the same way as other shrubs, except that many of this specie will be improved by having all their old wood cut away once in every five or six years. This would mean cutting all the old canes in six inches or one foot of the ground and forcing the bush to throw up entirely new wood. Roses used for cut flowers like the hybrid perpetuals, the hybird teas, and teas, should be severely pruned. The hybird perpetuals may be cut as . soon as the freezing weather is past, a Pruning of the hybird teas and teas, however, should be left until the P young plant has started. In both cases the plant should be cut to withk in six inches of one foot of the ground. four or six eyes iu a sicuii l( is about the proper amount of wood to leave. t ; ? t Money by the Bnsliel. ^ c She?What's this I hear about your getting a large sum of money from some woman?

The other day I received a card tating that " t? has been operatd upon for appendicitis." Did you ever think of what a ound-about expression it is? May e you have heard this: is ti the hospital, being operated' upon or appendicitis." How cumbersome ti this age of efficiency! Now to enrich the English lanuage and bring it up to date, I sugest the following: "Appendicute-? o perform the operation of removing he appendix. Appendicuting?Perorming the operation for, etc. Act f. Appendicuted?Having had, or aving been operated upon for, etc." You can put in those mysterious ittle a's, n's, v's and t's that confuse he average reader and make the hing less learned. Of course you get me." The first one I sprung it on turnled at once. I said: "I've been apendicuted." He said: "You're lookig well. Came out all right, didn't ou?" Simple, isn't it, like all great houghts. Try it, the next chance ou get (provided they don't see his) and say: " is in the hosital being (or to be) appendicuted" nd see if they don't catch on at once. >r, if occasion arises, call up the docDr and say: "Hello, Doc! What'll ou charge to appendicute me?" He ill "get you" all right. Later on, he telephone will go like this: "Is he doctor in?" "Sorry, but he's at he hospital appendicuting Mr. Let's see. Was it Capt. Cuttle or fr. Bunsby who said: "The reason Dr it is in the application: if so, why ot, therefore?"?Letter to the editor f the Waterbury American.
