the winds been trying to catch me off my
guard. It don't do for me to stop to

be glad to see me mapping. He comes
round on me in the most unexpected
manner, but he finds me on the alert.
See now-he's inclining to change-wait

A puff caught the wheel and away it
went for n few moments, and when it
stopped the vane pointed little toward
the eastward.
eff I could see little farther over
that hill / could see whether he's just
in fun or whether there's a cloud rising"
said the wheel. He's working me lit
tie round to the east, you see. Perhaps
he's getting up rain for tomorrow"
"Dear, me! Then there'll be fishing.
And father'll have to look out for his
hay" said Jack.
"Yes, he'll be sure to keep watch Of
me. He always does when his hay is
down. Rippety, Rippety, whir, whir,
whir-r-r-r-r."
The wheel turned so noisily that Jack
sprang up wondering if tornado could
be coming. But no cloud appeared in
the sky, and he rubbed his eyes and
blinked as he looked again at the wheel.
The wind was blowing briskly and he
waited until it lulled bit.
st don't see any cloud" he said. But
the wheel whirled away without noticing
him.
"The school bell hasn't stopped ring
ing" said Jack, surprised to hear it.
" Perhaps ] can get there in time yet"
He ran with all his might, and reached
the door just in time to get in with the
last boy.
Whewl" he exclaimed. " I thought
I was going to be late" "Late!" said
the boy. "What do you call it, not to
get here till the recess bell rings?"
AS twilight gathered that evening
Jacks father stood anxiously gazing at
the weathercock.
" The winds in rainy quarter, boys"
he said, eve must be out betimes in the
morning."
"After all" said Jac to himself as he
went to his room, 81 believe the old
wheel was right when it said folks had
better do what they're set to do. If it
didn't look out and give father notice OF
the rain it would be bad for the hay. If
father didn't see to the work it would be
bad for the whole farm. II mother didn't
look out for breakfast and dinner it
would be bad for us boys. Any way, |
believe I'd rather pile wood part of the
time than have to spin round all the time
as that wheel does. And it keeps it up
the whole night when folks are asleep.
Here it now!"
"Whir, whir, wbir-r-r-r-r; rip, rip-rip-
rip, rip-rip, rippety, rippety-"
Jack balanced himself on the toes OF
one foot and whirled around until he was
SO dizzy he was glad to fling himself
upon the bed, where in ten minutes he
was fast asleep. The lesson Of his dream
was not lost, and when an early call the
next morning sent Jack to work in the hay
field, and later the wood piling had to be
done, he went to his duties with willing
mind and cheerful spirit .-NeaU York

The Indians of Mexico.

That is a superb idea started by
Gov. Jose Maria Ramirez, of Chiapas
that southernmost state OF the re-
public, so little known, but which Is
taking the initiative in matter OF
great impol tance, the education ofthe
Indian in Mexico. To educate 5,OOO,-
900 Indians, the "great unwashed" OF
Mexico, is task of stupendous pro-
portions. To do this Gov. Ramirez
makes the proposition that the presi-
dent of the republic appropriate ST.
100000 for this purpose for the first
year and as much In after years as
may be necessary.
These Indians are in a proportion OF
So per cent. of the entire popul alton OF
Mexico, and they speak thirty We
idioms and sixty-nine dialects, while
most of them are entirely ignorant OF
Spanish. They swarm the streets OF
this and every great Mexican city,
iabbering in their incomprehensible
lingo; Nahua, Colhau, or Xiximie, as
the case may be, naked, brown, bare
shouldered, dark eyed descendants of
the old Aztec, Toltec, Chicemecas, and
other tribes whose romantic history
may run coeval with that Of Egypt
and it's famous Pharaohs.
In some parts of Mexico these saw
ages still retain their independence, as
do the Yaquis in Sonora and the Chan
Santa Cruz in Yucatan. These are the
more warlike tribes. But the vast
majority live a dark life III the far
away stretches of sierra or among the
emerald valleys of this land. They
toll not, neither do they spin, they
cultivate not, neither do they manu-
facture. They never export, for they
live far from the iron-footed locomo-
tive or the beaten pathways of COM
MERGE, and are often jealousy self con-
tanned, reserved, and secluded.
They live in the solitudes of the
virgin forests on the gray sierras, oc-
cupied in holding their primitive farms
and almost in a constant clash over
boundary questions. They are al
ways ready tools for any enterprising
chief or cacique who wishes to raise
revolution, and fight like the Swiss
mercenaries under the man who will
paw the best.
These Indians never permit the
crossing of blood by intermarriage
with foreigners of any race. nor will
they favor colonists, with but a. few
notable exceptions. Like tigers in
lairs these mistaken millions, manacled
with the chains of mental and social
slavery, lie hiding among the mount
aims of Mexico. To tame them and to
teach them is the spirit of the noble
scheme proposed by Gov. Ramirez.

MiIIers and the Eight-Hour Law,
from the Milestone.


Eight hours of labor for millers Is
something for which we cannot look In
the near future. Twelve hours of la
Dor during the present time Is a differ
ent thing from twelve hours in the
past. There's more work for the mill
er under the new system than under
the old. If twelve hours were hard In
the times past, it is harder now. A
miller goes to work at II o'clock noon,
say. He gets his dinner at home, eats
his supper at the mill, gets home ABOUT
half past II and is in bed and asleep
probably by a quarter to i. II he is
awake at quarter to 8 In the morning,
he has had seven hours sleep. These
are the usual sleeping hours Oh miller
who has had the afternoon watch. He
has abouJ four waking hours when he
is not at work. He has his breakfast
at 8, or LITTLE after, and has dinner
again at quarter or half past IL. All
this is unnatural and must be changed
some time The morning watch, Or
that from midnight tG noon, is yet
more disagreeable than the other;
having to arouse in the middle of
the night and 60 to work is "agln
natur'" The miller gets his dinner
when he goes home, and has to 60 to
bed about half-past Or 4 in the after
noon. During the hot summer wealth
er, in fy-time, his sleep cannot be nat.
ural or easy until after s O'Clock in the
evening, and then he has only a little
over three hours when sleep is all that
sleep ought to be. He has from
two hours and a half to three hours
out of the mill when he is neither at
work nor in bed. Ali of this is a good
deal like working all the time without
any rest, except therest of sleep, which
is not all that is required to give to a
man that which naturally belongs to
him

A PuZzler.

From the Louisville Courier-J ournal.l
A peculiar case of helplessness IN
manhood was developed at Alexan-
der's hotel last evening. About z
O'Clock two men entered the hotel and
presented themselves to Col. john
Sullivan, the clerk. One said that he
had found the other, who appeared to
be deaf and dumb, just outside the
door, and having delivered himself OF
his charge the spokesman departed.
Then it was that Mr.. Sullivan looked
at the unfortunate, and the latter
looked at John. The patent inside
smile faded from the clerks face as he
began to realize his position.
"Will you have supper, SIR IN
quired he, as blandly as possible I'M
der the trying circumstances.
The effect of the inquiry was good,
for the man nodded his head IN acqul-
escence. He was sent TO the dining
room in charge of a bell boy, and Mr..
S1llivan's face beamed pleasantly as
he thought what an excellent thing it
was to be able to deal with all sorts
of people. The smile faded, however,
when the boy returned with the man,
saving the latter had refused to enter
the dining-room. Acouncil of ways and
means was called in "Uncle Joe's" pri-
waite office, and the man was brought
there. He was dressed in the garb of
q well-to-do farmer, and appeared
: healthy and bright. He was perfectly
at ease, which initself was astounding.
He handed the clerk his large satchel
and took a seat. He then delivered
over large roll of bills, amounting to
several hundred dollars, a bag OF gold
and silver, a large pistol and a double
handful Of cartridges, tying up the lat
ter in handkerchief. 1t was found
that he could neither hear, read, nor
write, and an effort to communicate
with him by means OF the simple finger
language failed utterly. Here was a
dilemma certainly, and had it not been
so amusing would have proved dis
tracing. The mans utter noncha-
lance and his excellent financial condi-
tion rendered sympathy somewhat I'M
necessary; but what to do with him
was the question. He had no letters,
papers, or any kind of writing on his
person; nothing to designate who he
was, where he was from or where he
wished to go. The readiness in which
he trusted his valuables to the clerk
gave evidence that he was accustomed
to travelling, but how hehad ever been
able to purchase railroad ticket was
a puzzle. Ali the guests of the house
were brought in, and one after the 9TH
er exhausted his knowledge of sign
language without result. Finally he
bent his head to one side, placed his
hand against it, and closed his eyes,
indicating that he wished to retire.
He was shown to his room, leaving all
to debate upon who in thunder he
could be. On sight he would be taken
for an honest countryman of average
intelligence and means.

Men Disguised as Women.
From the st. Louis Democrat.l

from the ST. Louis Democrat
Women's clothes make the most
foolish DISCUSSES in the world for a
man to assume when he wants to
make success of concealing his iden-
tity, for there is not any man living
capable of counterfeiting a woman's
walk sufficiently well to deceive an or.
binary student of human nature.
There is swing and peculiar step to
even the most masculine OF women
that the wearer of pantaloons cannot
duplicate. Just look at the female
impersonators on the stage; their walk
gives them away at once, despite high
heeled shoes and certain atrOclous
wiggle that they acquire in learning
their art. It was his walk that be-
trayed express robber Page last Tues
day, when he was passing from the
cars to meal-station dining room.
cannot exactly explain the difference
between woman's walk and a man s.,
but you will be able to appreciate it
when you hear this story: A French
detective was after an important crimi-
nal, whom be knew to be disguised as
a female. Hefoliowed his trail closely
until he located him in a certain rail-
way car. That car was crowded with
women, and after studying over some
scheme of finding his man he took an
apple and tossed toward a party in

crinoline whom he strongly suspected
of being the criminal. The ruse sue
ceeded. The party saw the apple COM
ing, and put up his hands and brought
his legs together SO as to have adouble
chance OF catching the fruit. That
settled him. The detective followed
the direction of the apple, and putting
his hand on his shoulder said, you're
my prisoner" You see, if it had been
a woman, instead OF bringing the knees
together at such a time, as q man al
ways does, she would have spread her
knees apart so as to catch the apple in
