200 faromr hoys, mostly frvm 1'J to
14 years of np, into the nrmy.
The unfortunate children had eome
in from the country with pruuion
cart'' and were gathered in the mar
ket place.
Many uomen were with them, hut
few men, the latter already linrin
l)een drafted or stayed away, fearing
they would he forced into the serv
ice. That hoys .o youtij would he
fcizc never occurred to anyone.
Selrwl .tl 1'ouths
The commander of the pre- pans
mnde his preparations carefully. He
had the market place completely sur
rounded before tho-e in-iuc the cor
dun realized what wn on foot. Then
a Hqund of soldiers hean going
through the crowd, gathering in every
male much past hnbyhuod.
Mothers tried to cling to their
fions. Mnny of the boyn tried to hide
in or under their carts or in piles
of straw or provisions. Others at
tempted to break through the cordon.
Tlio mothers were thrust roughly
nside, however. The search was too
thorough for many to cscajw by hid
ing, and the cordon was too tightly
drawn to jiass. Several of the boys
who resisted ucre severely beaten.
Wild Confusion Itclgns
Tho mnrket place was a scene of
wild confusion for a time; then the
soldiers drew off, draining the
weeping, terrified boys with them and
leaving n throng of hysterical, dis
tracted women.
The conscripts were locked up in
barracks under guard until they
could ho loaded into boxcars for
transportation to the front.
The demand for more soldiers wns
especially ncuto on account of the
effect President Ilnerta is making to
strengthen his forces in the field in
view of increasing rebel activity. A
thousnnd men hae been rushed to
Mnzatlnn atone on the btrength of
reports thnt the gunboat Tumpico
was about to bombard it.

hnvo found Paradise. And they are
going to bo surer of It tomorrow than
thoy were jesterday. Whether lt
self-hypnotism or Just a feeling
caught out of tho air, everyone's got
It and whatever else it has done or
has not done, tho feeling that "hero
is Paradise" has built up tho most
contented community I ever have dis
covered engaged In the occupation of
farming or gathered together In a
city ot 10,000 people. And what
hate thoy done these peoplo who
are so cock suro they havo found
Paradlso?
They have set about their work as
orchardlsts with an earnestness that
has enabled them to produco several
world's record yields of pears for tho
acre.
They have gone about tho work of
producing for tho markets with tho
same quality of zeal that their fath
ers and grandfathers went about the
work of controlling tho markets.
Chlcl'rlde Created.
They havo helped to create tho
civic pride that has laid 30 miles ot
asphalt paved streets In Mcdford.
They have brought to their llttlo
"paradlso" tho life of the oast. They
have organized a University club with
moro than a hundred membors
graduates of Harvard, Yale, Prince
ton. Pennsylvania. Cornell, from
nearly every university of Importance
In America. They havo established
a country club with rolf links and
tennis courts; a drama leaguo wtlh
an enthusiastic membership; a splen
did theater, a hotel with metropoli
tan atmosphoro aud furnishings. And
thoy dance tho tango!
Tho other day my wife and I woro
Invited to tho Country club. Wo
found 18 cars standing at tho en
trance cars that bolonged to tho
8llk'EtockIng farmors and orchardlsts
of "Paradise." Last night wo stroll
ed past n church where thoy woro
holding choir practice. Thoro woro
soven cars standing at tho curb.
At night at tho Mcdford theater
both sides of tho streets are lined
with carB, standing two abreast. Tho
farmors of Itogue Kiver valley como
to town with their wives to see tho
"troupe" at tho "opry-houso."

A MESSAGE TO WOMEN
Who Are "Just Iteady to lroj,r
When you aro "Just ready to
drop," when you feel so weak that
you can hardly drag yourself about
and because you hao not slept
well, you get up as tlrod-out next
morning as whon you wont to bed,
jou need help.
Ml8 Lea Dumas writes from Mn-
lot-e, X. Y.t saying: "I was In a
badly run-down condtllon for sov-
oral weeks but two bottles of Ylnol
put mo on my foot again and mndo
me strong and well. Ylnol has
dono nio moro good than all
othor medicines I ever took."
If tho careworn, run-down
men, tho pale, sickly children
fceblo old folks around hero would
follow Miss Dumas' example, thoy,
too, would soon ho able to say that
Ylnol, our delicious cod llvor nud
Iron remedy, had built them up and
mado them strong.
H Is a wonderful, strength creator
