the Kentucky colonel. “The
war will be the beginning of
the end of these. Germany

CoL Waterson said dint us-
ually war made hemes, but
that this one may rather un-
make them. The kaiser has
everything to gain and nothing
to lose, he said.

The old man in Vienna and
the ruler in St Petersburg
could each have been held to
his place except for the war
lord of Berlin. If he could win
we should behold the rise of a
power in the heart of Europe
quite equal to that contemplated
by die first Napoleon. That is
not lobe thought of or endured.
The world can settle with
autocracy in the Russian em-
pire when it has vanquished
autocracy in the German em-
pire.
“The world has a long way
to travel before it reaches the
Mount of Olives. We build a

try. Comes a wind across the

it down. Comes a blast from
the hell the Hapsburgs made
and not a stone remains.

“All the while a war lord, in
fact, he has stood—has at least
seemed—the peacemaker much
at varience with the character
and aspects he is now reveal-
ing rather unexpectedly to
those who have not looked be-
neath the surface; few it would
appear that, during die decades
when he was devoting his tal-
ents and energies to the econ-
omics of the time, meeting and
beating the commercial rivals
of his country in most of the
neutral markets—this is the
shoe that pinches England—he
has not neglected the alts of
war, but has perfected his
armies and armaments, so that,
for the moment at least, they
are far in the igad of the rest
of Europe.
“I believe that the time has
come for kings to take stock, as
it were, and for kingcraft to
come to a showdown. When
the battle clouds lift and t$^
earth has received the slain we
shall behold another Europe.
Let us live and hope. But we
shall have to wait and see.

Most of the refugees are
former federal soldiers who,
with ctunp followers, crossed
over into Texas after General
Villa’s decisive victory at Oji-
naga. Of these more than
3000 were first interned at Ft
Bliss, near El Paso, Texas.
Later they were removed to Ft.

Some men at the dub were
telling dog stories after a day's
shooting. AHer some time,
when the tales had got very
“tall,” one little man, who had
been quite silent, said:
“I have a dog that makes all
yours seem fools. 1 generally
feed him myself after dinner,
but the other day a friend
dropped in and the poor ani-
mal slipped my mind. After
iwwg and hid it at my fret,
with the most yearning lode in
his eyes—it was a forget-me-
not." ♦
Nobody told any more dog
stories that evening.—Pearson’s

Cattle Rutlers Active.
El Paso, Texas.—Four Mead
can cattle rustlers were shot to
death and a fifth is believed to
have been mortally wounded
in a running fight between out-
laws and Texas cowboys near
Siena Blanca. This ’ was the
information brought here today
by an arrival from there.
Crossing the Rio Grande
near the foothills of the Quit-
man Mountains, 100 miles
southeast of this city, the bqnd
of rustlers started rounding up
range horses owned by the
different outfits in the vicinity
of Sierra Blanca. After herd-
ing together about 100 head of
horses they started driving
them to the river. The hones
were missed Monday! night
and a posse of cowBoys started
looking far them. The cow-
boys sighted tire rustlers Tues-
across tho river into Mexico.
They fallowed, fording the
stream, and a running battle
ensued. The horses were
abandoned fay the Mexicans,
who attempted to escape into
the mountains. Four of them
were killed and the fifth had
his horse shot from under him
