The Women Of Costs Rlca.

The little delays at the various wayside
stations afford excellent opportunities of
observing the different types of Costa
Ricans; for side by side with the travelled
gentleman, attired with scrupulous re-
gard TO the fashions Of this last quarter
Of the Nineteenth century, stand the
barefooted men OF the peon class, In
nearly every case more than decently
CARRIED, but with the silken scarf about
the waist and the huge machete which
are the insignia Of their rank in life. These
groups are always picturesque, for the
costume of the women alone is sufficient
10 add a charm to the rapid succession
OF pictures ever passing in afluence of
color and form before the eyes of the OBJ
servant traveller.
These women. even small girls, wear
full starched skirts that touch the
ground, only displaying their small bare
feet as the folds sway in the motion Of
walking. From living so much in the
open air and from the amount Of exer-
else taken, they nearly all glory in splen-
didly developed chests, which, with their
rounded arms, are fully displayed by
the low, much befrilled waists worn
by them all, differing only IN the matter
Of more or less adornment. Still, over
their shoulders they dispose the folds Of
a silk or wooden scarf, or a bright colored
handkerchief, which usually only reveals
the full throat and the graceful curve Of
the arm and shoulder.
While referring 10 the beauty Of the
peon women il must be added that their
pleasing appearance lasts only with the
years Of their first youth. Whether the
exercise and the open air together pro-
duce a too early maturity. and in conse-
quence a too early decay, IL Is hard TO
say-the result is there all the same.
Side by side with the young and hand
some daughter, the picture of bloom
ing health, stands the mother--a worn
and wrinkled crone-the two pictures OF
''She;" and looking from n TO the
other the heart Is moved with the same
compassion with which poor Holly gazed
upon the awful remains OF that imperial
loveliness that had wrought such havoc
with his middle aged affections Costa

st. THE DAILY NEWS
Is a daily paper for busy people.

OF all mankind the people of Chicago and the busy north
west are the busiest. And yet perhaps no equal number Of peo-
pie are to be found who appreciate SO keenly the necessity Of an
intelligent knowledge Of the worlds daily doings. They recog-
nze that they, more than anyone else, are the worlds providers
in many Of the most important necessares Of life. How i'm
potant, then, that they should have their daily intelligence Of
every event, the world over, which by any possibility can affect
their diversified commercial holdings. And in all the higher
interests Of life where can be found a like number Of people
more keenly appreeiative OF all that contributes to progress in
art. literature, science, religion, politics, and the thousand and
one things which make up modern civilization.
And yet, strange to say, right here in this great, busy north.
west, in its busy metropolis Chicago, there has taken place the
IeatOn and development of that most cumbrous, unserviceable,
'aue-desuoyng thing, the " blanket sheet newspaper. With the
iGniness Of very faulty this monsroshy of journalism, this breeder

Second. THE DAILY NEWS
Is an Independent, truth-telling newspaper.
The reader can count on one hand the known newspapers
whose statements in matters Of politics can always be accepted
as at least intentionally truthful, and commonly so in fact.
On the other hand, it is the al-but.universal rule to praise
ones party and candidate to the skies, and to cry down the
opposition party and its candidatet to the verge of the diueputabe.
So common have such silly and reprehenSble methods in jour.
nahsm become that they pass unnotieed, and are accepted as a
matter OF eourse-as an evil ~inseparable from practical politics.
But this is only another mistake Of the ~thoughtless. The Amer-
can people are intelligent enough, thoughtful enough, fair enough
to appreciate and endorse honest, tuth.telling iournalism-in
truth to preferitt to the misleading, the tuh-discoloring dishonesty
