His captain writes of him: "He was a very able soldier, a splendid comrade and one Of those rare people who did everything well." In almost the last words he wrote home, dated July 29. he said: "Yes. father. I read of the death of H. and M. ((wo comrades.) it is sad, but one couldn't wish a better death. Men hav? to be sacrificed?we are at war. Playthings have been pot aside, and we are In the midst of grim and stern conflict. 1 cannot imagine a better death than that in action, ft is a'1 sufficing.

The pampas are a vast, grassy plain. Is there anything more to ho said? As an Englishman put. it. ' What ran you say about a bally billiard table oxropt that it is a bally biljiarfl table?" Yet the plain of the pampas is not like the groat. Western plains of the United States. The latter are broken by gullies, furrowed by streams, traversed by riv?>r valleys. The pampas are not. Among all the landscapes of the world there is none more meadowlike than the flat pampa. with the cattle grazing in the rich grass, but. the meadow grass hides no meandering brook. Hour affer hour and day aftor day you may ride without crossing a stream You will, however, encounter many shallow pools and lakelets. The pampa loOks so flat, so featureless! But is it? Watch the horseman galloping away toward the horizon, toward which he rises silhouetted against the sky. Soon he sinks and drops out of sight, having apparently ridden over the edge of the world; but an hour later he may rise again, topping a more distant swell of the vast grassy ocean surface. North, east, south, and west it is the same?a billowy plain, hollowed and molded by the wind, the free-flowing aif. which In place of running water has sculptured the immense expanse of tine brown earth. Irrigation Problem. In former days it mattered nothing to the world at large and comparatively little to the Argentine himself .1 . t A 1 ______ - * - 11 .. wueruer iiir rphboh w?s h ihviiiihhp one for wheat or not: but now, when millions beyond her confines look to Argentine for breed end when Argentine prosperity is regulated by the wheat she sells, it matters much. The time will come, probably, when plentiful rains or drought will matter less than now; for at present agriculture In Argentine Is in that elementary state when it is most exposed to injury by the vicissitudes of Miniate. Ureat fields ere cultivated by few hands. The poorly prepared soil, the shallow plowing, the neglect of cultivation, all Invite losses In any but a favorable year. In the east I rainfall usually is abundant or exreRsive. There are areas of Huenos Aires province which are inundated by heavy rains, and great drainage works have been undertaken by the government at the instance of the landowners. From east to west the rainfall diminishes till it becomes Insufficient for agriculture in tin* average year, and farming can prosper only where irrigation is practicable. Thus tin* pampas, of which we may think ns a monotonous plain, exhibit great diversity of aspect. Portions of them may be flooded while other distant regions of tin* same plain are drying up. Portions are* suitoei to tio* growing Of wheat. others to cattl?> raising. and stiil oflmrs in tho wanner, rainy 7,0110 about Hosurio are adapted best to (be raining of Indian rorn.

Although a large part of the Old Dominion previously had been voted dry in local option elections, the new State law had the effect of closing more than eight, hundred saloons, mostly in Richmond, Norfolk, Newport News, Lynchburg, Petersburg, Roanoke and Bristol. The law Is said to l>e one of the most drastic ever passed by a State legislature. Has Ho Married Again. "Confidentially," said the undertaker's wife, "Mr. Smith hasn't paid the bill for his wife's funeral yet." "Isn't, that scandalous?" exclaimed Mrs. Dabble.
