EX-KING MANUa TAKES UFE EASY
Plays Golf While Portugal Pre¬ pares For War.
UND SIDES WITH ALLIES.
Former Rul«r Apparantly ¦¦ Not Wor¬ ried Ovor Couroo Republic Is Purau- ing—Gormany Haa Formally Da- clarad War »n Portugal, Although a Stata of War Haa Exiatad.
London.—While former King Mnnuei of Portugal Is playing golf nnd taking life easy In England, the Ilttle republic of Portugal, once his domain. Is com¬ pleting preparations for war on the side of the allies. Germany has for mally declared war on Portugal, al though a Btate of war has practically existed between the two countries since the German troops Invaded Portuguese Africa In 1914.
Soon after this Invasion Portugal sent re-enforcements to her African po8.se8slon8, 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 2GC»,(XK> men. It Is esti¬ mated that fully 100,000 soldiers have

been molalllzed 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 matters. A pence party has made Its strength felt In that republic, but with Germany's declaration of war party lines will be ohilternted.
Portugal has an alliance With Great Britain dating from 1703 that requires the Portuguese government to furnish Gi-eot Britain with 10.000 soldiers when the latter is at war. While these troops have not been put at the disposal of Greut Britain in the European theater of war. the Portuguese have beon co¬ operating with the troops of the allies In Africa.
While the peace strength of the Por¬ tuguese army is only 30.000. with S.lO.'i more men In the cotoiilal army. Ihe iroverument has 2.104)'^) re.'terves and .STl.-4Tf, uviilliilile men for war pur¬ puses. The navy of the rejiubllc. how¬ ever, is one of the smallest In the world. It consists of one second class <Tulser. four third class crul.sers. fif¬ teen gunboats, five destroyers, four tor- peilo bouts and one submarine.
Most of these vessels are of an anti- ¦ lunted type. The Vasco da Gama. thc star .ship of the iinvy. has been In serv Ice since 1S78. It cost $(500,000 and Is of 3,().'50 tons displacement. It Is equip, ped with two eight-inch guns, one six- Inch, one twelve-pounder nnd eight Ihree-pounders. The Vasco <ia^ Gamn has a complement of 2.59 offlcers and men.
Portugal, with the Azores and Ma delra island, has n population of !5,957, 985 nnd nn area of 3,'>,490 square miles. The population of the republic's colo¬ nial possessions In Africa Is 8.300.000. and these colonies have nn area of 823.- 334 square miles. The colonies In .\f-la have an aren of 8,933 square miles nnd a pv.pulatlou of 930,000. Portuguese Africa is made up of Angola, the Kon¬ go, Guinea, East Africa and some is lands.
Many Portuguese have been bitter toward Germany for many years. They have felt that the kaiser's government baa bad designs on tbe Azores and An ([Ola_. The war partj In the republic has long been enthusiastic to enter the contest ou the side of the allies not only on account of the treaty with Threat Britain, but on account of tbe loug standing grievance against Ger¬ many.
Tbe wealth of Portugal ia estlmate<1 at $2,500,000,000. The national debt amounts to $5>47.OO3.0OO. The revenue of the couutry is $81,960,000 a year witb an additional yearly revenue of 117.188.000 from tbe colonies.

Oreensburg, Pa.—Walter McCluckle, aeventy, for sixteen years a Iielpless Invalid, is able to walk again, and bis recovery is declared fo be a direct an¬ swer to prayer.
He Is.a memtwr of tbe Youngwood United Brethren church. Recently a ¦cries of cottage prayer meetings was beld, and at Mr. McCluckle's uugges- tion it was arranged to pray for his beaiing. The Rev. John Watson, pas¬ tor of the cburch. with twenty-tlve members, went to bis home. Mr. Wat¬ son read from the third chapter of Acts, where It is recorded that Peter and Jobn caused the lame man to walk, and from tho fifth chapter of James, which declares. "The pmyer of faith shall save the sick." The minis¬ ter and others followed with prayers for Mr. McCluckle's re< overy.
Tbe prayers flnlshed. Mr. Watson said. "Let us rise and sing 'Praise God From Whom .\ll Blessings Flow.'" To the astonishment of all. Mr. Mc- Cluckle rose with the others, joined In the singing nnd then wiilke<l aliout the room. His recovery is regarded as a miracle.

WITH DONKEY 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 re<ognltioii of a world's record tramp, neither is he the author of any "Travels by Fool" tales —not yet—but be has raade sometlilng of a record for stamina and is now hopelessly a victim to a relenlless de¬ sire to walk every hishway wliii h may be casually named iu his presence. He has walked from Cliicugo lo San Fran¬ cisco In a roundabout wny. a distance of 3,4'>0 miles. He docs not claim thnt there Is anything remarkable about that fact nlone, liut the circumstances of the trip mnke n good story.
The flrst consideration is tho fact that Mr. Pri( e at the beginning of his tramp was n tciulorfoot.
The Price party, for he did not trav¬ el alone, wns essentially a tenderfoot group. Perhaps the most experienced member was Bunny, a donkey whose eight years had at least taught him caution, .\nother member was n collie dog named Prince, which is now much more than mere dog to Mr. Price, and another thing which does not appear In the log of the journey, but uiion which he admits the successful con¬ clusion of the unilertaking largely de¬ pended, was the taunts of Price's friends in Chicago.
Price left Chicago In midsummer. 1914, traveling westward along the Lincoln highway. The tramp was the result of a wag^r and was to be made entirely on foot with the consideration that the conditions would not lie ful¬ filled unless the Journey was flnlshed with both of his four footed com|inn- lons. He Insists without a blush that every inch of the Journey was on foot. The certifled statements of the may¬ ors of the vnrlous cities along tho route form the credentials.
Starting without nioney. the commis¬ sariat was provided entirely by a gun and fishing tackle and tbe 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.
Hid Over |7,000 In Hut. Cetlar Falls. Ia.—^^ore than $7,000 was found bidden in tbe but of George Pound, eigbt mllee north of bere, when tbe administrator of bis estaite made an Investigation.

Bangor, Cal.—L. E. Cole of this town .'ecelved a letter retently written to him by his brother on Dec. 2. ISiU.

PREFERRED CAVE TO LIFE IN A SOO HOUSE
Unique HonwofPioDser and Familii Brougiit to Liglit.
Oarber. Okla.—The falling of Atc feet of cement porch of a farmhouse a half mile north of Garber brings to light the unique home of n plone«>r of tbis section.
Under this porch was a cave. The cave was dug In 1^94. .Vt a point along a little ravine a sandstone ledge cropfied out. and there S. II. Peter* tunnelel unde: nnd excavated tW' large rooms, with a sandstone iedtt" about three feet thi.k for a roof. Tlu' rooms exterde<l sixty feet under the ground, and nt the deepest plaer there I was perhaps eight feet of dirt on toii. To the l>ack room a skyllcht •"• by " feet wn« opened.
The rrwmis were pln.i^tered nnd v hite <oal«d. ftiid the rock roof was « hltc washed, making It liiilu enouuli fn- one to read iicwsiinpers In any p'-rt o-' the cave U was very dry a' ¦1'.." time, and coffee kojit in tl.i- ;iv' ground easily S. IT. petcrs hi;'1 li.- family lived I'.icie manv nouth-' i'e fore he built a lionie nlieve '.rrouud.
The stovcitipc ran ui> 'he -¦U'''.'if nnd to pcrson>j pas-iing hI'Mi:: the rea 1 the smoke comin--' out of tlie umuijil was a novel slirlit. Hunilreils of per sons visiteil this ca\(" Innne. aud a- wondered why the roof didn't fa" In as It was not supiK>rted by timliets.
When the wet year.** came a little spring in the cnve which funilshed n'.' the water for the family overflowed the rooms nt times, nnd In recent years when the drain becnme 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 cnve home thnn was re quired to build n sod house of tli^ snme size. Sod houses were the tirst homes of most of the pioneers. The plaster was the only cvpeiise to thc cave bome. Today this section has the fin¬ est country homos lu the stnte and H lu the wheat belt.
