al notice." said an individual who
has spent nearly half his life in the land
of the Montezumas, ''that fears are
entertained that the poor MeXicans are
in danger of getting into the power Of
shrcwd Yankee spectators. The fears
are groundless. The poor Mcxicans
can take care of themselves in all eli
mates and under all circumstances.
They are u little the sharpeSt people on
the universal footStool. Even the
Hebrews, who have the credit of being
the best traders and merchants in the
world, cannot compete with the McXi-
cans. The sons of Judea have never
been able To gain II foothold in Mexico.
They occasionally struggle over there
and set up in business, but they do not
prosper, and consequently do not stay
long. They never stay long where
they do not get on The reason of this
is that the Mcxicans are better traders
than the Hebrews, and when you take
the fact in and carefully digest it YOU
can realize dimly just how sharp the
Mcxicans really are. The only human
the Iuni Indians. The Zunis are the
best merchants in the whole world.
Land a tribe of them in Chicago and in
ten years they would own the Board of
Trade and Union Stock Yards. They
are wonderful people. You can tell
the people who are worrying lest the
Mexicans may fall into the hands of
mcrccnary Americans, that they need
not lose sleep. The shrcwd American
spectators are in more need of SYM
pathy than the poor Mexicans. y

An American Redhead Abroad.

A curious scene occurred a few
nights ago at a cafe chantant in the
Champs Elysee. Col. Ochiltree was
sitting under the trees in front of this
outdoor theatre, with coffee and cog
nae before him, and the night being
warm, he had laid aside his straw hat,
so that natures brilliant decorative
sheathing seemed to be the only spot
of color in the mass Of heads. The
curiosity it excited seemed to convey
the impression that the Parisians fam
cied that it was a new American cleo
trio lamp. But the fun came in when
comedian dressed as a pompier-a
French freman-came out with an
imaginary hose in his hand. AS he
sang and cavorted he aimed the in
visible nozzle, shooting an impercepti-
BILE stream at the Texas Congressman's
head. Col. Ochiltree did not appre-
ciate the cause of the uproarious mirth
that followed, nor did he seem to get
the point when, as he involuntary put
on his straw hat, the comedian ex-
claimed in French, 1.-THE fire is extin-

WHY He Didn't.

There lived in Central Michigan a
dozen years ago man whose property
was decided to his wife, and who gave
her bills of sale OF all personal property
as fast rs acquired. Several old debts
and executions stood against him, and
one day constable, irriiatcd by his
want of luck in Selling something, met
the old man, and said:
IL see you have n new horse"
eyes and good one. too"
II suppose you have given your wife
a bill of sale?" sneered the official.
mo, sir, haven't. My wife owns
most everything but she is not the
owner Of this horse.
In less than an hour the constable
had the horse in his possession, but his
grins soon faded. The reason why the
old man had not given his wife bill OF
sale was because he had given chattel
mortage for eighty dollars on horse
worth about seventy dollars, and he
felt tolcrably secure. Detroit Free

THE OLD WASHERWOMAM.

Gee, busy with her linen there,
Res, buster far than all her peers,
In spite of age and snow-white hair,
In spite OF six and seventy years,
An ancient woman who has gained
The daily bread which life demands,
Within the sphere that God ordained,
by sweat of brow and toll of hands.
She I'm her youth has had her day,
Has loved and hoped ana met her mato,
Has walked along her wOman's way,
Grim Care still following. sure as fate;
Has borne her husband children three,
Has nursed him In his sickness sore,
Her faith and hope undimmed, when he
Sank TO his rest for evermorc.
Children must bred and nourished be-
She brayely bucklod to her task;
Reared them TO honest industry,
Best heritage the poor can ask
Then with her dear ones she nust part;
To seek their fortunes forth they fare
And still tho old and lonely heart
Blesses and waits with courage there.
with careful savings flax she bought
And stinted sleep her fax 10 spin
Fine yarn her thrifty hands have wrought
And to the weaver carried in;
He wove web of linen fair;
She brought the needle and the shears,
And her own fingers sowed with care
Tho last straight garment woman wears
Last labor of a life complete,
She shrincs IL I'm n chosen place;
Strange treasure is winding sheet
To house as I'm a jewel easel
On Sundays tits her first array.
IL prints Gods word within her breast.
Thus she forestalls her burial day,
When In its folds she lies at rest.
May !, when eventide draws on,
Like this poor woman, see fulfilled
TIL allotted task, the battle won,
Within the lines my God hath willed;
When lifc's mixed cup Is drained mt last,
Like hers. my memories pious be,
That may look, when timo has passed,
As kindly on my shroud as she.

The Advantage of Knowing "Natur''
When You Shoot.


"Shoot ?" said Adirondack Jim.
"Well, / should say so. The fellow
I'm speaking of was called the best
shot around the lakes but I'll give
you a yarn he told a couple O chaps
from the city who was campin' out
with us. They were askin' him about
shootin, and he says: Il won match
once-not so much from a shootin' rs
from KNOWN about the habits of crit
tiers in general. I was in camp at
Moosehead Lake, one summer, and
the men got ablowin' about shootin' +,
and after they got blown out, l says :
"I'll show we suthin' in the way of
shootin'. Take one of them turkeys
and tie her 1000 feet off," And af-
ter they did, 1 took six bullets and
asked them to mark 'em. "Now,"
says |, "here's a piece Of paper on
which is writ where you'll find them
marked bullets when I git through
shootin'," and with that l handed the
paper, folded, to one o the men and
commenced to fire. When l was
done, they looked at the paper and it
read, Stomach, and sure enough, in
the turkeys stomach they found the
six bullets. How was it done? Why,
jest by my mates takin' advantage of
his knowledge of natur'. He knowed
turkeys would swallow anythin', so he
loaded light and struck the turkeys
bill every time, so that the bullet
struck there. The bird would put its
head down, scratch off the bullet, look
at it q minute, and then swallow it,
and so it did the whole six. Yes, it
was fine shootin'," the old guide con-
cluded, putting violently at his pipe,
"but he was a fine hunter. New
