Would it not be a good srlicne
for Prof. Dalrvmple and his school
-ometime during the winter, to
L'ive an exhibition or entertain-
ment of -ome kind: let an adini

proceeds be applied toward pur-
chasing good seat- for the <ehool.

tire-ome thing- for an adult to it

other kind of diversion and the\
are much more uncomfortable for
the children who -it on them -ix to
seven hours per day five day- n
the week. Parents and property
owners can well afford to con-
tribute liberally to a fund for thi;-
purpose. Everybody speak up, do
not be afraid. The Echo will do
' its share of—wind work.
The little wheasy, leaky, no ac-
count melodeon in the church has
been the innocent means of keep-
1 ng i|iiite a number of people from
attending church, its discordant
notes being almost as offensive to
the ear as was the Db horn during
the past summer. It now affords
I us pleasure that the little trick ha-
been sold Mid removed from the
building. Now let all hands chip
in and buy a first class instrument.
Considerable noisey whisky must
have been imbibed yesterday, judg-
ing by the amount of yelling in-

The Mexican National railroad
crossed the Rio Grande at Laredo
Monday.
In accepting the fund tendered
the widow and orphans of the mur-
dered President, Mrs. Garfield ut-
tered the following noble senti-
I ment. She says: "My children
I join me in this gratitude, and in
the desire, that as we accept this
! trust in their father's name, we
! may be able to use it in a way
.vorthy of him, and satisfactory to
\ tho-e by whom it ha- been bestow-
I ed."
| Th: nksg ving i- .1 mighty tame
how without the regulation tur-
i:ey, mashed potatoes, cranberry
a are, mince and pumpkin pie and
a U'i'cnt big lot of other goodies. A
great many people in this country
'could Mjlice'ze through on a tough
old gobbler or a tougher old hen;
[o -ibly they could return thank-
on bacon, corn bread and black
toffee; on a pinch they might li\e
through the day without any of
jthe-c delicacies, but they would
II re t er not. So thought a number
of gentlemen residing in this place.
Turkey they wanted and turkey
they were determined to have, even
if they were compelled to invite
tiiem.selve.- to dine with their rich
relations or neighbor.-. Put for
appearance sake they made up a
party of seven last week, all ar-
rangement- were made, everything
J ready for an early start Tuesday
morning for the turkey run. The
mob consisted of a justice dispen-
ser, a mercantile man, a cow
puncher, an ex-sheep herder, a
cocktail mixer, a pilgrim and a
pencil driver. The j. d. was chos-
en captain and he could not drive
ids command out of town until he
' brought it to time with a shot gun
(emphasis strong on gun). In
the course of time the mob reach-
■ ed, not the happy hunting ground,
but camp, and such a camp ground ;
, several rocks, a few hills, some
more rocks, another hill, a mes-
iiiuite stump, a rocky bluff seven
hundred feet down and seventeen
thousand up, one big rock, no land
01 smooth ground. Such was the
camping place, how it was found it
is unnecessary to state.
"Somebody get wood and make
a fire," wa the first order issued
by the captain. "Where's the
axe," was the reply, but no axe
wa- to be found. The c. t. m. was
ordered to make coffee, but the can
: cjf mound coffee had been turned
over and the contents sifted
through the bottom of the wagon.

beioie retiring he wanted to bet,

fifteen cents against a half dolhu

stood guard. Fearing a herd o!

that a turkey might come into

brought hi- noble steed to camp

LA POLA": COLOMBIA'S
JOAN OF ARC
(Jan. 26, 1705-Nov. 14, 1817)
She was tall and slim and strik-
ingly beautiful "with large black
eyes and a fine provocative
mouth." And she was young and
gay and admired for her intelli-
gence and her wit. But she reck-
oned that her country needed her
more than she needed happiness
and she did not hesitate to sacri-
fice herself to Colombia.
Potlearpa Salavarrieta was born
on January 2fi, 1705, in Guaduas,
Colombia, of Spanish descended
parents. Decause her Christian
name, inherited from one of her
grandmothers, was such a long and
unusual one, people shortened it
and called her "La Pola." Gmd-
uas, where the child was brought
up. was at the time "a smnll trop-
I ical town whose single street was
bordered with humble thatched
houses, hidden under the shadow
or orange trees and of guaduas,
the American bamboo which so
gracefully saws at everv impulse
of the wind and which has given
its name to the town." Yet even
the <|uiet of the . mall town and the
peace of the sheltered home where
six other little Salavarrietas grew
besides "La Pola," were not to
shut her off from the great wind
of liberty that was sweeping over
Colombia. The patriots having
taken up arms for independence
were fighting the Spaniards wher-
ever and whenever they could and
guerrilla warfare was then at it -
height. While still very young,
"La Pola" not only persuaded
many to join the rebels but offered
her services to the revolutionary
cause of which her brothers were
ardent adepts.
Even though she was a woman
and maybe just because of that
there was much she could do. She
accepted the dangerous mission
that was given her: to carry mes-
sage- to and from army camps.
Th^> efficient wav in which she per-
formed her duty as secret courier
and the precious information she
collected made her invaluable to
the rebels' cause. She soon moved
to the capital, Dogota, and "still in
communication with the patriots,
took advantage of the fact that she
was little known in the city to con-
tinue her ervice,- as courier, ac-
companied bv one of her brothers,
(^n foot and on horseback, she use I
numberle ubterfuges and di
aui.-c and for a time successfully
avoided falling into the enemy's
power."
It wa- about that time that
Alojo Saba rain entered her life. \
tall, gallant and handsome young
revolut imary, he fell deeply in
love with her. Dut there was little
time for love, much les for mar-
riage . . . "It was a fleeting, idyllic
lomniire which lipped by in at
atmosphere of expectation and of
mystery while the two principals
wa ie 111 rounded by danger and by
war. and ib-titled to end in trag-
edy." The Regime of Terror wa.-
then raging in Dogota. "In the
capital alone, one hundred and
twentv five of the foremost citi-
zens perished on the scaffold, while
their property was confiscated and
their families reduced to abject
poverty." "La Pola" and her little
brother Bibiano were suspected of
being connected in some way with
the activities of the revolutionary
party. Spanish espionufc. was ac-
tive and the courageous Colombian
girl was tracked and followed until
she was arrested and imprisoned at
the Colegio del Rosario, then con-
verted into a prison. Later she
heard with admirable serenity the
news thnt the Council of War had
sentenced her to death together
with eight "accomplices," among
them Sabarain, her fiance.
At dawn on November 14, 1817,
"La Pola" and her companions
walked to the Plaza Mayor where
I "a gallows had been erected facing
the windows of the Palace and four
execution benches placed on the
public promenade." The girl had
asked permission not tfl be clad in
sackcloth, as was the custom for
prisoners condemned to death. She
wore, instead, a blouse and n wide
skirt and shawl. Ou the way to
her death .she admonished her
countrymen and is said to have
uttered the famous words: "Indol-
ent people! How different your fate
would be if you but knew the price
of liberty! Dut it is not too late!
See how I, young and a woman,
1 have more than enough courage to
infer death and yet a thousand
deaths ..." A few minutes later,
seated with her back to the firing
(|uad, -he was to fall under a
Spanish volley. She was twenty-
two years old.

THE SEABF.ES' LAMENTATION
You can have your Army khaki,
Dut I will take the Navy blue,
And there's still another fighter
That 1 will introduce to you.
His uniform is different,
The best you ever see.
The Japs call him a "Sea Dog,"
Dut his real name is "Sea Dee."
He was trained down in Virginia,
The land that Clod forgot;
Where the mud is inches deep
! Alio the rain will never stop.
He hus set many a table,
And many a dish he has dried;
He also learned to make a bed,
And a broom he sure can guide.
He has peeled a million onions,
And twice as manv spuds;
He also spends his le s.ire time
In washing out hi dud-.
His next stop was Hhode Island,
The land of ice and snow.
His trial- and tribulations there -
Just he and God shall know.
Then off to Port Hueneme
Where they gave him !> days' leave;
Said, "Drother, don't go AWOL
For you're pushing overseas."
I
He drops his sea bag on a deck,
The name he's never heard of;
The papers call it "Island X,"
The map just shows a dot,
five minutes thence he goes to
work ;
From then on that's the story,
lie won't go home for several
years-—
For why? Foi what? Old Olory!!
1
Now 1 ter, take a little tip
That I am handing to you;
Just hang onto your "Sea Dee"
For there's nothing he can't do. |
And when he (rets to Heaven,
To St. Peter he will tell:
"Another 'Sea Dee" reporting, Sir,
I've ervod my time in hell."
( Dy 1'. F. Irwin, S 1-c, United
State Naval Sea Dees).

What's Money?
Louis Agassiz, the Swisa-An
can naturalist, won the respect Midi
'admiration of the world by his1
| wholehearted, unsparing devotion
J to his chosen profession.
Once after having delivered •
number of public lectures, lie re-
fused to make any further appear-
ances, despite many urgent ploM
for his services. A committee ^rom
a large eastern city waited upon
him and begged him to fav Vtkeir
community with one of hisJfejiRin-
atinp discourses. When - AgMil
uec lim d they thought they had not
offered him a large enough fee.
They increased, their offer, but he
still refused. They again in-
creased the amount, but again hfr Jj
declined. . m
Finally the chairman of the com-
mitteed asked, "Mr. Agassis, would
you mind telling us why you refuaO
all our offers?" SI
"Because," replied the greaft£
ituralist <|uietly, "1 can't wastoji
V-
my time in making money."
