TROUBLEJN SPAIN
Pretenuer Who Threatens to Bat

Origin of the Present Difficulty Be

Vatican —The Carlists
Plot Revolt.
Madrid. —The Carlists ipt Spain, who
have been threatening revolution in
connection with the present controv
ersy between the government and the
Vatican, take their name from Don
Carlos, brother of King Ferdinand
VII. Ferdinand about 1830 set aside
by royal decree the salic law, which
excluded females from the throne, in
. favor of his Infant daughter, after
wards Queen Isabella. This decree,

bly ever will be a matter of dispute
to Spanish legists, set aside Don
Carlos, who would otherwise have
been indisputably heir apparent. Don
Carlos after protesting in words for
several years against his deprivation
began in 1834 to protest in arms.
A terrible civil war followed, which
ended only in 1840 with the defeat of
the Carlists. Spain was a long time
in recovering from the effects of the
struggle. Under Don Carlos 11., son
and successor of Don Carlos 1., war
broke out again in 1873 and was not
stamped out for three years. Don
Jaime is the son of Don Carlos 11. and
# is said to be a man of considerable
military ability.
The revision of the Concordat,
which regulates the relations between
[church and state, is at the bottom of
Mjhe difficulty. Arrayed on one side
the government, supported by the
ndng, and on the other are the Catho
lic church and the vast power and
wealth of the religious orders.
• The Concordat dates back to 1851
and does not fit existing conditions.
The present premier, Senor Canalejas,
has undertaken to revise it and at the
very outset drew upon himself the
antagonism of the church. By the
provisions of this instrument the
church is subject to certain restric
tions, which really have never been
enforced. One of these limits the
number of religious orders ih the
kingdom to fewer than 100, Owing,
however, to the non-enforcement of
the law, there are nearly 4,000 orders
ia Spain, many of them owning prop
erty and enjoying exemption from
taxation and possessing also other
special privileges. In opening up the
question of the revision of the Con
cordat, Senor Canalejas announced his
intention of enforcing the provisions
of the law of 1851 relative to the
religious orders. The church, of
course, interposed its objection and
made its intention plain that the re
vision it wanted was such as would
remove the restrictions of 1851 and in
crease rather than diminish its au
thority and power. Neither side has
seemed inclined to yield.
The Carlists, who are opposed to
the present dynasty, are particularly
King Alfonso.
active, and now that King Alfonso has
thrown in his lot with Senor Canale
jas, the religious orders are said to
regard with favor a Carlist move
ment. The republicans, or radicals,
are also planning the establishment
of a republic, so that King Alfonso’s
throne seems to be menaced from two
sides. The Carlist leader is Don
Jaime, son of the late Don Carlos,
and he has the support of the clergy,
the peasants and the aristocrats. Don
Jaime was born in 1870 and is called
the Duke Of Madrid in court circles.
A PRIMITIVE POST OFFICE
Uncle Sam, In His Growth and Pros
perity, Hasn't Yet Outlived This
Borderland Relic.
Jefferson Gity, Mo.—Without excep
tion the most primitive post office
building in Missouri is an old one-room
log cabin situated on the crest of one
of the highest hills of the Ozark moun
tains, in Stone county, about two miles
south of Reed Springs. The old post
office was known as Ruth, and fur
nished mail to the natives of a large
section of Stone county for many
years before the Missouri Pacific rail
way was built through the county.
While the railway was in the course
of construction, the members
construction gang, who for many
months camped about the big spring,
which has since become the center
of the little railway town known as
Reed Springs, walkW daily to the lit
tle old log cabin government building
two miles away to receive the tidings
from some other quarter of the coun
try.
The digging of one of the longest
tunnels in the state, that just east of
Reed Springs a little more than a half
mile long, which connects the valley
in which the town is, with the Roark
country, kept the railway laborers in
camp near the post office for more
than six months. In this time the
business of the diminutive post office
increased and became in the words of
Sam Davis, the postmaster and keeper
of the only store in Ruth, "so bulky
that I’ll be gosh blamed ef I don’t
hef to put up another goods box to
keep the papers in.’’
It appeared for a while that in or
der to have room for the large amount
of letters, papers and packages which
found their way to the ten by twelve
feet post office, the government offi
cial would have to devote all his time
to the work of distributing the mail
and move his few caddies of tobacco,
boxes of soap, barrels of sugar and
salt, and other staple articles neces
sary to a country store to some other
shelter. i,
"Wall, by gollies, I never did see the
like,” exclaimed the postmaster one
evening, as he emptied the contents
of a well-filled mail pouch which the
carrier had just unloaded at the Ruth
office. “Them fellers down yonder do
beat all fer gittin’ mail, I vum. It
keeps me busy looking over all this
mall till I ain’t got much time to tend
to my customers."
The old post office became the cen
tral point of interest for the people
for miles around, while the big busi
ness continued. The old farmers, the
farmers’ sons and even the house
wives and their shy daughters took
to going to the store of an evening
after quitting time, not that they had
any particular business there, but to
see the long line of railway workers
The Ruth Post Office.
file to the lone door of the small gov
ernment building and wait their turns
to ask if there was any mail.
But the rush of business for the
log cabin post office of Ruth was only
the boom before the slush. With the
completion of the big tunnel of solid
rock the construction gang moved on,
leaving the post office as before. With
the completion of the railway came
the settlement of Reed Springs, to
which place, in a short time, the
Ruth post office was moved.
OF GREAT ECONOMIC VALUE
Our Many Harmless Insects and Birds
That Prey Upon the Myriads of
Destroying Insects.
Indianapolis.—“ The average person
has little appreciation of the economic
value of certain harmless insects in
preying upon and destroying insects
like the brown-tail and gypsy moths,
which has done such damage, particu
larly in New England. These harmless
insects,” said Dr. A. K. Peterson of this
city recently, “have a vital relation to
civilization, just as the birds. It will
not be long before there will be a gen
eral recognition of the demand of the
Audubon society for uniform laws look
ing to the protection of nearly all the
birds, for, with the possible exception
of the English sparrow, they are a real
force.
“The nighthawks, whippoorwills,
swallows and swifts, which are in the
air Just after sunset every night, kill
more moths and other insects than the
imagination can estimate. The fly
catchers are just as busy by day, and
anyone who has ever observed a 'wood
pecker running up and down a tree
trunk knows that neither bug nor
borer escapes. The birds are invalu
able as insect desfroyers and they de
stroy immense quantities of x eds from
harmful plants.”

PROBLEPAS MANY YEARS OLD
Children of Today Puzzle Over Them
Just as They Did a Thousand
Years Ago.
When King Alfred the Great was
reigning' over England, a thousand
years ago, school children pondered
ovef problems in f.Tithmitit much as
our boys and girls do now.
Here are two taken word for word
from a lesson book of that day:
“The swallow once invited the snail
to dinner. He lived just one league
(three English miles) from the spot,
and the snail traveled at the rate of
only one inch a ' day. How long
would it be before he dined?”
“An old man met a child. 'Good
day, my son,’ he said. ‘May you live
as long as you have lived, and as
much more, and thrjce as much as all
this; and if God gives you one year
in addition to the others, you will be
a century old!’ What was that boy’s
age?”—The Comrade.
HOW A DOCTOR CURED SCALP
DISEASE
“When I was ten or twelve years
old I had a scalp disease, something
like scald head, though it wasn’t that.
I suffered for several months, and
most of my hair came out. Finally
they had a doctor to see me and he
recommended the Cuticura Remedies.
They cured me in a few weeks. I
have used the Cuticura Remedies, also,
for a breaking out on my hands and
was benefited a great deal. I haven’t
had any more trouble with the scalp
disease. Miss Jessie F. Buchanan,
R. F. D. 3, Hamilton, Ga., Jan. 7, 1909.”
Kept with Barnum’s Circus.
P. T. Barnum, the famous circus
man, once wrote: “I have had the
Cuticura Remedies among the con
tents of my medicine chest with my
shows for the last three seasons, and I
can cheerfully certify that they were
very effective in every case which
called for their ‘use.’’
When the Fish Exploded.
Somebody discovered that fi§h are
fond of gasoline, and this led to the
idea of soaking worms in gasoline in
order to make them more alluring
when used for bait.
Mark the result.
Two of those gasoline-tempted fish
exploded in the frying-pan, and broke
the kitchen window, and blew the
cook’s face full of mashed potato, and
hurled the teakettle into the flour
barrel, and painted the kitchen ceiling
with stewed tomatoes.

A Liking for “Hamlet.”
“Do you like Hamlet?” asked the
hostess of her unlettered, if gushing,
guest.
“Indeed I do," was the reply. “I am
excessively fpn* of it, but I always
prefer a savory to a sweet one.”
There was a momentary confusion,
and then,the hostess realized that the
admiration of the guest was of a cul
inary, not literary, character.
“I gave her ham with an omelette
for breakfast next morning,” said the
hostess, when telling the story.—,
Scraps.
Slightly Confused.
All of us become confused and all of
us mix our language sometimes, but
the preparation of an old negro
preacher’s sermon was the greatest
confusion of metaphors I ever heard,
says a traveler. When the lengthy dis
course was nearing its close and he
had reached his “Twenty-third and
lastly, brethren,” he wound up by the
following elaborate figure:
“Everywha, bredren, we see de al
mighty—all down de untrodden paths
of tijne, we see de footprints of de
Almighty hand.” —Human Life.
Sourse of Revelation.
Twenty-seven new, crisp, $1 bills,
says Harper’s Weekly, weigh as much
as a S2O gold piece. Wouldn’t have
thought it, and have no means of
proving the assertion, but if so it is
probably owing in some way to the
recent activity of the inspectors of
weights and measures.
Your side of the argument may be
convincing as far as you are concerned,
but what is the use if it doesn’t con
vince the other fellow? «.

A Shipping Error.
The young Duchess of Westminster,
wife of the richest peer in England,
recently gave birth to her third child,
a daughter. Thus there Is no heir to
the immense Grosvenor fortune, Earl
Grosvenor, the duchess’ second child,
having died at the age of four.
Apropos of all this, a rather cruel
story is being told in Newport about
Lady Ursula Grosvenor, the eight
year-old daughter of the young
duchess.
A friend, the story goes, called at
Eaton Hall, and as she sat in the
drawing-room, little Lady Ursula en
tered.
“Oh, good afternoon,” she said
gravely. “Mamma can’t see any one
today. She's upstairs with the new
baby. They sent her, you know, a girl
when she'd ordered a boy, and she's
so upset that she’s quite ill.”
Even the Children.
Ex-Governor Bennypacker, condemn
ing in his witty way the American
divorce evil, told, at a Philadelphia
luncheon, an appropriate story.
“Even our children,” he said, “are
becoming infected. A Kensington
school teacher, examining a little girl
in grammar, said:
“ ‘What is the future of “I love?”’
“‘A divorce,’ the chjK answered
promptly.”
Something C jful.
Wee Anita was listening to a story
of the Johnstown flood.
“What made it?” she asked.
“Oh, the dam broke,” replied grand

The next morning she ran into her

It was in this very cottage in Brookside, 15 miles

thing in vain. I persuaded them to let me try Johnson’s Tonic. I removed all the print

So many panes of glass in old Mr.
Viner’s greenhouse had been broken
that he had at last offered a reward of
10 shillings to anyone who should
give information as to the identity of
the latest offender. The bait soon
drew. A youngster called on Mr.
Viner and informed him that a lad
named Archie Thompson was the
guilty party. He received his reward,
went away rejoicing and the old gen
tleman forthwith wrote to the local
schoolmaster, demanding the produc
tion of the said Archie Thompson, to
make good the damage he had done
to his windows.
Next day the informer called again.
“The schoolmaster sent me,” he
said briskly. “I’ve seen a glazier and
he'll put your glass right for three
shillings. Here It is, and—”
“Not so fast, my lad,” said Mr. Vi
