New York. It was some years ago
that "Pharaoh's daughter went down
to the water." or, to speak by The
Book, "came down to wash herself
at the river; and her maidens walked
along by tin river's side." It is also
related that she found the irfant,
Moses. But that is another story.
The fact that she went down to old
Nile to bathe Is what at this moment
draws one to her, especially one who
has traversed old Cairo, ferried over
to the Island of Roda. walked through
the quaint garden which belongs to
the heirs of Hassan Pasha, and at
length climbed down to the very place
where this great princess found Is

As a matter of fact, many romantic
things have occurred when beauty
was bathing or preparing to bathe.
Actaeon thus came upon Diana In the

The fact that bathing la delightful

both the well and the ailing take to

The English shudder at the idea of
our mixed bathing and surely We are
privileged to smile at some of their
cuntoms. On a certain warm day la
Brighton, not so many years ago, one
saw Just how this modesty worked
out. The few who had taken ma
chines were uninteresting, semi-Invalid
old ladles and children. Then
along came a buxom creature who
having arranged for a bath climbed
aboard and was presently no doubt
disrobing. Every Johnnie who bad
seen her enter lingered and yet oth

Joined the waiting list. The machine
was now down with the. front wheels
in the water and as It was about time
for the "vision" to appear these lovers
of beauty drew closer and closer, not
a few perching on the wheels as if
to get a better view.
The door opened.
The "vision" modestly held the front
of her so-called bathing suit In her
hand as she stepped gingerly down
until she could grasp the rope, for the
beach Is so steep that a bather is in
up to the waist a few feet from the
sand. Then the suit had it all its
own way, and it ballooned and ca
reened to the limit and then some. It
was of a nice, warm red and cut like
a very broad-necked old-fashioned
chemise, with the lower part caught
together for a few Inches. This waa
a great advantage, as otherwise it
might simply have blown over the
bather's head and far away, giving
some poor shark a terrible colic.
MAD COYOTE BITES HERDER
Mounts Horse at Once and Makes a
Night Ride to City for Medi-
cal Treatment
Boise, la Nicholas Doyle, a aheep
herder In the employ of Sam Ross, is
in this city to get treatment for ra
bies. The other morning about I o'clock,
while asleep in his tent, ho waa awak
ened by a fierce pain In his forehead
and the weight of a body on his bunk.
He struck out with his bands and
knocked a coyote across the tent
Following it to the door through
which It had disappeared he was in
time to see a full-grown coyote, the
foam flying from Its bloody chops,
leave the body of a wounded sheep
dog and run for the hills. The coy
ote had entered the tent of Doyle and
bitten him while he waa asleep. The
teeth of the animal had entered above
and below the eye.
Without awaiting for daylight. Doyle
caught a horse and started from his
camp on Jenkina Creek for this city.
While waiting for the remedy, Doyle
declares that he is not greatly agitat
ed, although he is fearful of losing his
life.

PtMs. The old Paris committee, a
municipal body charged with tho
preservation of the ancient landmarks
of tho city. Is now considering tho
remarkable proposal of a member that
the Place Vendome bo made a gigan

U. S. SECRET CODE
State Department Oraers to Am
bassador Read by Presi
dent Huerta.
WERE TAKEN BY MEXICAN SPY
Strono Efforts Will Be Made to Re
cover Sscreta That Would Be
Dangerous In Hands of Hos
tile Nstlon.
Washington, July SI. A copy of
the official code of the state depart
ment containing information worth
thousands of dollars to foreign gov
ernments has fallen into the hands of
the Mexican administration and is be
ing used to further the ends of the
Huerta regime. It was asserted here.
This Is regarded as the explanation
of the sudden calling home of Henry
Lane Wilson, ambassador to Mexico.
This government found It was unable
to communicate with him secretly.
Intimate dispatches as to this gov
ernment's policies In Mexico aent to
Ambassador Wilson by the state de
partment are now believed to have
been read by the Huerta government
Stolen by Mexican 8py.
Presumably the code book was
stolen by a spy from the United States
embassy In Mexico City.
For some months state department
officials have suspected that the gov
ernment telegrams from Mexico city
have been tampered with. It ia de
clared, but this was not considered im
portant s all the dispatches were In
code, and therefore theoretically il
legible. About three weeks ago, how
ever, government officials here had
their first Inkling that the Mexicans
were obtaining the gist of the dis
patches passing between the state de
partment and Ambassador Wilson.
At first It was suspected that an
employe of the department in this
city was to blame, but investigation
proved this to be Impossible. The tel
egrams were read only by thsee per
sons In Washington the official teleg
rapher, Robert Rose, confidential sec
retary to Secretary of State Bryan,
and the secretary of stato himself.
All of these men were above suspi
cion. '
The agents of the almost .unknown
"secret service" of the state depart
men then were put on the trail and
evidence waa obtained that the gov
ernment dispatches had been "lifted"
from the wires in Mexico and decoy
ed, the Information contained therein
being transmitted to President Huer-
ta and his cabinet As this informa
tion was. at times, highly uncompli
mentary to the present government In
Mexico, the matter at once took on
an International aspect and the ef
forts of the department's agents to
discover the exact location ot the
"leak" were redoubled, but In vain.
Valuable to Hostile Nation.
Every effort will be made to locate
the copy of the stato department code
and destroy it. It would prove of im
mense value if It fell Into the bands ot
a hostile nation.
It wus asserted that the United
States had felt Its policy In Mexico
blocked in advance during the last few
weeks, owing to Information being re
ceived by the Huerta government of
the moves of the state department be
fore Ambassador Wilson received tho
dispatches.
It waa reported that the administra
tion had decided to abandon the Mon
roe doctrine to maintain Its policy of
"peace at any price."

desire to be more patient. It is hoped

eral manager of the road, issued this
statement:
"I have not received any request for
increase. In wages from our men. Nor
have 1 received any complaints. When
such requests are made they will get
respectable consideration. I cannot
believe that the trainmen and conduc
tors of our lines would take any

now And themselves surrounded by
hostile armies of not only their former
comrades, but of Turkey and Kouma

therefore, to learn from official tele
grams received at Belgrade, that Bul
garian delegates have started for Nish,
Servla, to open preliminary peace ne
gotiations. The Servian government
before deciding to treat yith the Bul
garians, is consulting its allies. Bul
garia, indeed, seems to realize that the
game Is up, for the new government
also has appealed to make peace, whllo
a Bulgarian brlgnde, 6,000 strong, with
12 guns, has tamely surrendered to the
Roumanian forces, 43 miles north of
Sofin, after the invading artillery had
fired a few rounds. Seres, a town of
