We are ready to serve you to the best of our ability. ' ,' James Peterson Red Cloud, Nebraska Mrs. Herbert Cook Tells Of Guatemala Disaster (Coinimit" f 0"i I'i-o 1) to that the rumblo of the earth in the throes of the quake and the tremen dous roar of ialling buildings. The? enoct is indescribable. Not once dur ing this night of horrors did either Ilerbcrt or 1 lose, our nerve. How wc kept cool and calm with continuous earthquakes for eight hours only lvtivcn knows, but wc did. After several hours of sittingaround on the ground, the night growing colder with each successive hour, wc decided the best thing we could do was to try and get a little sleep so I lay down with Herbert on one side of me and a very nice Guatimaltcco of the peon persuasion on the other and slept for at least two hours. The only other person who retained her cquinamity was Lorcnza, wonderful Lorcnza. She wandered about all night. When the quakes were at their worst she returned to the house and brought out a hat for Herbert and save the mark a boudoir cap for me, fearful we'd catch cold in the night air unless our heads wero cov ered 1, With Herberts. biff, flash light in her hand and Iona to accompany, her sho wandered secldsfr adventure. Shehelpcddig out a Wow caught by the falling walls of the. Conception church, then went to offer her services when tho house of .a poor Turkj (bad 'cesa to him) burned downncr the riarochia viea. Was on the spot when the police commenced to srioov looters and, in fact, seemed to beonnfpresent, Doppinsr ud every 'once in a .-while to find out if "no so lea.. of race aada."

She had gone to the house and made a great batch of biscuits n-aring wc mignt run .snort ot bieaa, returned, cooked eggs, made tea, and did countless other wonders on a handful of charcoal near the j-ear whcclB of the coach. I never ceased to stand aghast ut the rcsouiccfulncss of our efficiency expert, more nn E. E. than ever during these extraordinary times. Time uiter time sho risked life and limb to bring some comfort to one of us. With no thought to herholf but all to us she carved out for herself a place in our lieurts whore, unto the last days of our lives she will rest enshrined. When wc had breakfasted and dressed wc went for a walk to stretch the cramps from our poor legs and met Mr. Penny poor Mr. Pcnnv. whoso losses he assured us amounted to at least $30,000.00 but who was cheerful and thankful he and his wcic alive and safe. He suggested our going to the Souco and making our- selves more comfortable by getting a tent and settling down until ..wc could ?athcr together our scattered wits and things). Fortunately for us on our way to Mrs. Hollers house to gather in a few eatables we met Mr. ocnnicwicss who ottered to take out lumber from his stores to help build our tent, nnd the men folks then set out to buy tarpaulin .which they were able to secure, so takintr the coach which had furnished us shelter during the night-and. loading it down with such stores as wc had managed to ac cuculate wc started off like Pilgrims to seek shelter elsewhere. It was a good thing we left the Sn. S. P. when wc did for the sanitary conditions were becoming frightful. Bad always daring the best of times, they were fast becoming intolerable with the hundreds of people camped there people who never did have any notions of cleanliness. . Truly like unfortu nates wc reached the Sauce Mrs.K. rather well put together but I in my disreputable grey bath gown carrying bird cages, grips, Wnrocntionable toilet articles, in fact any and every incon gruous object we could get our hands' on. as soon as wc appeared on the scene dear Mr. and Mrs. Schnicweiss rushed to greet us and offer us as sistance. Shortly we picked out a site for our tent and with right stood will and great charity Mr, Scqfli' wciw aijq nis assistant Mr. Lieber Man set to work to put up the tent --such kindliness and help! And from the hated Germans! I realized for the first time just what Pres. Wilson meant when he said our war . was against the.

They had the Roaches attached to them and Morley, the; archaeologist, who was a guest of Jhe Roaches. Also they had with them Mr. and Mrs. Sara. Poor Ned's wedding trip proved a trngiq one. Caught in the Imperial flotol whose third story came down sho was frantic. However they cot out without harm, atfd found their way to the Clarks..

We got up, dressed with no thoughts of conven- forcc and our hopes were high that soon tncy would discontinue entirely, c passed a comfortable nicht and felt refreshed and able to take up our queer open air mo with added vigor when morning came. 1 Saturday, December 2U. Early in tho morning Herbert, Mr. Kollcr nnd Aispuro went to town. I had per suaded H. to leave Guatemala and Thursday he had wired Mexico saying he was going to New Orleans as he had planned for wcoks to do so I was to Accompany him to the Legation to maKc arrangements ior my passport right after luncheon. Wo, Mrs. K. and T worked around the camp making it neater in appearance and more homelike and had succeeded' quite sur prisingly when the men returned and luncheon was made ready, Our lit tle Bridge tables came in so handy as dinimr tables and due to tho E.. E.'s tbaughtfulncss we even had a bowl of lonely carnations ior decoration. Luncheon was splendid nnd we ate with the added appetite the open air gives. Truly had it not been for the constant dread of the quakes which novo left us wo would' have been ideally happy. The day was glorious.
