A Model Police Chief.

Our three young Americans had been In
the meantime introduced in due and all
cient form to the police magnate at Duran
turns to intimldate him, then again to ex-
cite his wrath.
At nearly every street-corner he would
stop short and deliver IN stentorian voice
one Of his choicest and most eloquent
Spanish harangues, full of emphasis and
wild gcstlculations.
''Ha, you are Americansl Good Long
may live the United States, but may its in
habitants all go To-" (He did not
exactly mention the antarctic pole nor
Lemp's ice house at the time. you bet!)
81 know what you came here for; you
came here to rum or steal my country; but
you cannot do it until you cut my throat
and crawl over my dead body." And to
show how easy it could be done he used
to squat down on all fours and howl like a
wounded lion-
81 am an Indian, 1 know: l am not
ashamed to acknowledge IT. but l can die
for my county, and will do 1t sure, before
you Americans can get foothold here
Three cheers for General Washington; he
was q brick, but d. the Americans"
| "What is it you want here, anyhow2
My country2 You can't have it without
first taking my blood, and here it is If you
want it! What else do you wantf You
want to drink? Here! Bring us something
| to drink"
The mozo with the beer would then come
forward, brandish his bottle and exclaim
VIGOROUSLY: 81 have no cork-screwl"
"What else, then, do you wanti" would
continue the chief. SIS it money? Here,
We have lots of it; thrJw 1t to them, throw
lit"
The mozo with the dollars would throw
some, but very carefully pick them up
again.
At every corner the same scene was re-
peated. The patrolmen, with lantern In
hand, stood SPELL bound. not knowing what
to make out Of this. One of them, older
or more independent than the rest, slightly
intimated to the chief that he was really
making a disturbance. '.Ha!" shonted the
chief, II am an Indianl l am Mexican!
| love my country and respect itsauthonty!
Yes, bow to the authority Yes, l bow
to the authority, look here if don't"
And he knelt down and kissed the dirty
toes of the patrolman.
With slight variations the orations and
scenes were several times repeated on the
way, until at last the house where the dance
was going on was reached and entrance OBJ
ltained. By that time the procession was
lquits imposing; for every patrolman met
has followed at short distance with Ian
lterns in hand, wondering who was to be

Women as Capitalists.

OF the $346, 446, 500 of and Al per
cent. national bonds held in this country
by individuals, women hold $72, 672, 500.
This by no means shows the interest of the
women in these bonds, for especially in the
eastern and middle states, women own
bank stock, OF are depositors in savings
banks, to very great extent. If to this
we add the fact that women IN these days
own real estate in their own names, and at
their, practically speaking, absolute
disposal, we shall see thst the women of
this country have a large interest in it.
And this is conservative factor in our
history. Whatever may be said as to the
matter of universal suffrage for women,
there is no question that those who have
property will seek to know something of
the reason for its taxation, the mode in
which the money is spent, and more or less
of the fundamental principles and duties of
government Nor is there any more doubt
that the intent Of this class would De to
obtain or maintain an honest and able and
economical government. The changes in
our laws which have given the women so
much right in and liberty of disposition OF
her own, have been more equitable to her
than they have been valuable in steadying
the general judgment.
