TROUBLEJN SPAIN Pretenuer Who Threatens to Bat tle for the Throne. Origin of the Present Difficulty Be tween the GoveVnment and the 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, jwhose constitutionality is and proba- The Spanish Pretender. 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.” CHEERFUL WORDS FOR SUFFERING WOMEN. No woman can be healthy with sick kidneys.

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.

WHERE HE SAVED MONEY. “You say It costs less to run this automobile than that trotting horse you owned?” “Yes; I used to bet on the trotting horse.” 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.

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 ner.
