Is com pleting preparations for war on the side of the allies. Germany has for mally declared w ar on Portugal, al though a state of war has practically existed between the two countries since the German trtxips Invaded Portuguese Africa In 1914. Soon after this Invasion Portugal sent re-enforcements to her African possessions, and there have been a number of clashes between the Ger man and Portugal colonial troops. The total war strength of the Portu guese army is 260,000 men. It Is esti mated that fully 100,000 soldiers have J . M . H E W L E T T H a y , F e e d .

EX-KINO MANUKL. been mobilized for some months to be ready for the conflict. It Is over a year since the Portuguese government decided to co-operate with the allies whenever the step seemed necessary. While Portugal has been preparing for war for some time, Internal political conditions have delayed m atters. A peace party has made Its strength felt In that republic, but with Germany’s declaration of w ar party lines will he obliterated. Portugal has an alliance with Great Britain dating from 1703 that requires the Portuguese government to furnish Great Britain with 10.000 soldiers when the latter Is at war. While these troops have not been put at the disposal of Great Britain In the European theater of war, the Portuguese have been co operating with the troops of the allies In Africa. While the peace strength of the Por tuguese army Is only 30,000, with 8.10.\i more men In the colonial army, the government has 230^)00 reserves and 871.470 available men for w ar pur poses. The navy of the republic, how ever. Is one of the smallest in the world. It consists of one second class cruiser, four third class cruisers, fif teen gunboats, five destroyers, four tor pedo boats and one submarine. Most of these vessels are of an anti- -luated type. The Vasco da Gama, the star .ship of the navy, has been In serv Ice since 1878. It cost $060,000 and Is of 3,030 tons displacement. It is equip ped with two eight-inch guns, one six- inch. one twelve-pounder and eight three-pounders. The Vasco dn Gama has a complement of 259 officers and men. Portugal, with the Azores and Ma delra island, has a population of 5,957,- 985 and an area of 35,490 square miles. The population of the republic’s colo nial possessions In Africa Is 8.300,000. and these colonies have an area of 823.- 334 square miles. The colonies In Asia have an area of 8,933 square miles and a population of 950,000. Portuguese Africa Is made up of Angola, the Kon go, Guinea, East Africa aud some Is lands. Many Portuguese have been bitter toward Germany for many years. They have felt that the kaiser’s government has had designs on the Azores and An gola. The war p a r t ; to the republic has long been enthusiastic to e n ter the contest on the side of the allies not only on account of the treaty with Xlreat Britain, but on account of the long standing grievance against Ger many. The wealth of Portugal Is estimated at $2,500,000,000. The national debt amounts to $947,003,000. The revenue of the country Is $81,966,000 a year with an additional yearly revenue of $ 17 , 188,000 from the colonies. PRAYERS CURE AM INVALID. H e a ling ef S e v e n ty-year,old P e n n s y l vania Men Regarded ae a M iracle. Greensburg, Pa.—Walter McCluckle, seventy, for sixteen years a helpless invalid. Is able to walk again, and his recovery Is declared to be n direct an sw er to prayer. He Is.a member of the Youngwood United Brethren church. Recently a eerie* of cottage prayer meetings was held, and at Mr. MeCluekle's sugges tion it was arranged to pray for his healing. The Rev. John Watson, pas tor of the church, with twenty-five members, went to bis home. Mr. Wat son read from the third chapter of Acts, where it Is recorded that Peter and John caused the lame man to walk, and from the fifth chapter of James, which declares, \The prayer of faith shall save the sick.\ The minis ter and others followed with prayers for Mr. MeCluekle’s recovery. The prayers finished, Mr. Watson said. “Let us rise and sing ‘Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow.' ” To the astonishment of all, Mr. Mc Cluckle rose with the others, joined In the singing and then walked almut the room. His recovery is regarded as a miracle. $50 FOR SEVEN WINKS. Follow ing a C u s tom of G reece Looked Like M a s h ing O u t In M issouri. Kansas City. Mo.—George Stamatois. twenty-six years old. 510 Main street, has not forgotten the customs of his native Greece. There it seems to be the fashion to wink at any woman you want to become acjiualnted with. The Greek custom brought Stamatois to i.rrief to staid Kansas City. Stamatois entered a department store the other afternoon. He winked at six pretty girls to no mail. Ho wink ed at a seventh, who promptly seized him by the arm. showed him a store detective’s star and escorted him to a crossing patrolman. Stamatois answered a charge of \mashing\, before Justice Charles Clark, acting judge, in Hie north side court here soon after. “That winking llink's a favorite over in Greece, judge.\ Stamatois said. “T h a t’s the way we meet all our nV-e women. 1 thought it was all right here too. I've got to show my appreci ation of the girls some w ay.\ “T h a t’s a poor way.\ Judge Clark answered. “The wink is not favored In Kansas City. You’re tlned $50.“ PREFERRED CAVE TO LIFE IN A SOD HOUSE WITH OOEEY AND DOG WALKS 3,400 MILES Price Wins a Wager by a Long Tramp. Victoria, B.C.—Edward P. Price does not wear medals in recognition of a world's record tram p, neither is he the author of any “Travels by Foot\ tales —not yet—but he has made something of a record for stamina and is now hopelessly a victim to a relentless de sire to walk every highway which may be casually named In his presence. He has walked from Chicago to San Fran cisco In a roundabout way, a distance of 3,400 miles. He does not claim that there Is anything remarkable about that fact alone, but the circumstances of the trip make a good story. The first consideration Is the fact that Mr. Price at the beginning of his tram p was a tenderfoot. The Price party, for he did not trav el alone, was essentially a tenderfoot group. Perhaps the most experienced member was Bunny, a donkey whose eight years bad at least taught him caution. Another member was a collie dog named Prince, which Is now much more than mere dog to Mr. Price, and another thing which does not appear to the log of the journey, but upon which he admits the successful con clusion of the undertaking largely de pended. was the taunts of Price’s friends in Chicago. Price left Chicago to midsummer. 1914, traveling westward along the Lincoln highway. The tramp was the result of a w agjr and was to be mode entirely on foot with the consideration that the conditions would not l>e ful filled unless the journey was finished with both of his four footed compan ions. He Insists without a blush that every inch of the journey was on foot. The certified statements of the may ors of the various cities along the route form the credentials. Starting without money, the commis sariat was provided entirely by a gun and fishing tackle and the proceeds from singing at the show houses along the way. The camp equipment. In cluding provisions, amounted to 100 pounds, and this was Bunny’s burden. H id O v e r $7,000 In H u t. Cedar Falls, la.—S^ore than $7,000 was found hidden in the hut of George Pound, eight miles north of here, when the administrator of his estate made an Investigation. Pound died sudden ly and was supposed to have left little money. Twenty years ago he lost more than $5,000 In a bank failure and thereafter never trusted banks. G e ts a Civil W a r L e tter. Bangor. Cal.—L. E. Cole of this town .received a letter recently written to him by his brother on Dec. 2, 1864. At that time the writer was a soldier to the Union army, and he tells of the chase Into Mississippi after General Price's command. Where the letter has been for the past half century Is a mystery. Unique Home of\ Pioneer and Family Brought to Light. Garber, Okla.—The falling of H tc feet of cement porch of a farmhouse a half mile north of Garber brings to light the unique home of s pioneer of this section. Under this porch was a cave. The cave was dug to 1894. At a point along a little ravine a sandstone ledge cropped out. and there S. H. Peters tunneled unde: and excavated two large rooms, with n sandstone ledge about three feet thick for a roof. The rooms extended sixty feet under the ground, and at the deepest place there I was perhaps eight feet of dirt on top. To the back room a skylight 3 by * feet wn« opened. The rooms were plastered anil white coated, and the rock roof was white washed, making it light enough fot one to read newspapers In any psirt of the cave It was very dry at •he time, and coffee kept in the :tv' ground easily. S. H. Peters and his family lived there maii> months be fore be built n borne above ground. The stovepipe ran up tbe sky Ivht. and to persons passing along the v<>ad the smoke coming out of the ground was a novel sight. Hundreds of per sons visited this envp home, and u wondered why the roof didn't fall In as It was not supported hy timbers. When the wet years came a little spring to the cave which furnished all the water for the family overflowed the rooms at times, and In recent years when the drain became clogged the cave filled with water. The pioneer later built a house almost over the cave. S. II Peters was but little longer digging the cave home than was re quired to build a sod house of the same size. Sod houses were the first homes of most of the pioneers. The plaster was the only expense to the cave home. Today this section has the ftor est country homes m the state and is In the wheat belt.
