Wilson and the cabined
decided that because the

the Huerta government Is free to
get them from many sources, really
puts the United States in a position
of showing partiality rather than
neutrality.
The embargo is to lifted with
the Idea that rather than

war will reduce bloodshed.

The president's decision was reach-

the belief of the administration was
that the denial of was a human,

the Washington government that its

It was understood in official circles

Fir many weeks senators of the

DISCONTENT NOT ALL GOOD
True That It Has Its Uses, but There
Are Other Things to Be
Considered.
It Is perhaps true that some writers
and teachers have over-emphasized the
gospel of contentment with our lot. It
Is not always well to be contented with
our lot. every line has
been made by people who were dis-
contented with their present
and broke through to some-
thing higher. But, even allowing this.
It Is undeniably true that there Is a
vast amount of unholy and wasteful
discontent. We are apt to think
constantly how much more and how
much better we would do If
stances were different. While history
presents many cases of people who
broke away from humble task to force
their way to something higher, It Is
fuller of Instances which a man or
woman, by doing with patient faith-
an Insignificant task, has been

There exists a legend relative to
the Christian inhabitants of the east
that they believe tho banana to be the
tree of the source of good and evil,
a bunch of the fruit of which the
serpent that tempted Eve hid Itself,
and they add that when Adam and
Eve became ashamed of their naked-
they covered themselves with
the leaves of this plant.
The origin of the banana Is given
as India, at the foot of the Himalayas,
where It has been cultivated since re-
antiquity. Its origin the
new world la as doubtful as the origin
of tho American Indian. Natural to
Asia and Africa, where than
distinct species of the genus are
known, it is said to have been brought
first to America from Spain early In
the sixteenth century and planted In
the Island of Santo Domingo, whence
Its spread was rapid through the
rounding Islands and the mainland.

This recent find has led to the belief
that a skull of curious formation,
earthed twelve years ago, is that of a
rhinoceros of the Pleistocene period,
and probably about years old.
Authorities have pronounced the head
to be that of a prehistoric monster.
When tho excavations were made
there were also discovered parts of a
Roman wall, several human skulls,
and spears. The
skull was found underneath a shed
which has been standing for
years, and the foundations of which
consisted of concrete to a consider-
able depth. It was In the course of
removing this concrete and digging
some yards below that the discovery
was made. little Importance was
attached to It, the skull was given
to the gardener, who handed It over
to his children as a plaything. The

have now been found. The skull
Itself Is about Inches In length,
and seems to be water worn. The
leg bones are short and thick, and
this goes to support the theory that
the animal was a rhinoceros.
