Kansas, says that new wheat is COM
ing in town, but it don't hear of any
one getting sixty cents bushel for it
yet. The untaxed owners Of United
States bonds are coming back from
Europe after spending their profits in
other countries, but we do not hear Of
any Of them going into the Peoples

region Of their pOckets-and those are
the only pockets they care for.

The Huntleys.

The Huntley Comedy company are
becoming better as they grow older,
and certainly are more popular every
day in San Antonio. An effort should
be mace by the public to keep them
here one week more, for, although
playing q successful engage
ment for nearly fourteen days,
San Antonio can stand more
of these excellent artists and should
induce them to remain. Last night
they successfully presented the stir
ring military drama michael Strog-
off," to good audience. Their roles
were we'll assigned and presented in
an artistic, flswless manner in every
way pleasing.

band which plays at all the entertain

the same band which recently made al
tour of the United States and played last.
September at the Sioux City Corn
Palace.
Nueva Laredo is about the most dole
full place on earth. 1t is probably not
much worse than the Laredo on tho
Texas side, but because it is not is due (,
to the fact that it only has half as muchi
Mexican population. Ths American,
Laredo has 1900 people, 5000 Of
whom are Mexicans. The Mexican
Laredo has 1000 people, all of whom
are Mexicans except dozen Hebrews in i
trade, and three or four Americans who
are temporarily sojourning here in pref
erence Ito meeting the sheriff or thel
United States marshal across the bridge.
Going from the American side thei
first sight on the Mexican shore which
attracts the traveller is the extreme un-
conventional way in which the Mexicani
senorita OF the humber class performs,
her laundry work and completes her
toilet. The Mexicans laundress performs !

her work on a fiat stone and on certai nj
days shc carries herself and her task to
the river bank. She sits on the bank
with hef feet in the water and her rub
bing stone between her knees. When
all extraneous, clothing is cleansed comes
the toilet. -, as;ii
When her abultions are completed she
backs away from the river under pro-
lection of her kite, and is soon lost In
the chaparral, where she remains until
her clothing has dried in the hot sun.
One is astounded to know upon wha.
the lower grade of Mexicans live. There
is no beef in Mexico except the Oldest
and leanest of bulls. They sometimes
kill cow, but it is only when she 81
about to die of old age. They never
kill calf. Sheep are too valuable be-
cause of their wool. The only thing,
that fills the place of these is the goat.,
Goat meat and goat milk are staples Of
the Mexican larder. Then comes chickens,
and eggs, which are always good, for
the Mexican hen never loses sight OF her
chief end in life. But Of vegetables1
there are none to speak Of. A few with
cred and scrawny turnips, a few sproutyi
potatoes, now and then cabbage OF q
sickly kind-and that is all. The Mexi-
can makes up for the deficiency by fres
use of frioles (beaus), and the various!
preparations in which chill SO largely en-
ters. "Chili con carne," "chili colo
row." and Eau chillora, !" a stew made Of
young goat meat and .onionsy which, by;
the way, is not bad, are the chief gas
Economical creations. ;,5.i e
The chief meals of the Mexican lower
orders on the frontier are made at night
in the, open air on the plazas. This is
true OF both the Laredos. just about
dusk the Mexican restaurateurs set their
tables and bring on their charcoal stoves,
Everything is packed in donkey carts.
By half an hour later they are IN full
blast and the tables are crowded. It IS
the one meal Of the day. Those who:
can afford 'tmedia" (six ceutivoa) can
get huge plate of frjoles covered with
chilli con carne. The dish is enough TO
satisfy human OF that stripe for twenty
four hours. Those who have q little
more money can get coffee and bread,
but no butter. There is no butter any
where IN northern Mexico or southern
Texas. The hotels put butterine on their.
tables and call it butter, but nobody. else
attempts the cheat. The milk that tho
wretched cows in this arid region give
has hard enough work to prove its own,
identity without striving to convert it
self into butter. For the very poor In
Nueva Laredo the section of sugar cane,
which is sold at one cent q stalk, has to
suffice. 1t is no uncommon thing in the
market plaza in Nueva Laredo to see
whole family making its supper on
single stalk of sugar cane.

army. They act as menials and 90 all
the dirty work of the camp. They are q
hard looking lot, but for that matter the
best grade Of the Mexican private is any
thing but awe inspiring. There seems
to be no uniformity of dress among them,
and nothing at all of what is called
soldierly bearing. They are rarely. II
ever, drilled, and the only discipline
among them is that which is enforced at
the muzzle of the officers pistol. The
Mexican "Mocho" and 'rurale, the
better grade of soldiers, receive 373
cents day in Mexican money, equivalent
to about twenty-eight cents IN gold.
Out of that they must feed and clothe
themselves, unlike any other army, Tor
the Mexican Government issues no
rations to its troops. The "contrares
guardias" have to look out for them
selves; they get nothing. They have to
forsge for their livelihood. With such
a system as that it is only wonder that
Diaz can hold any army together at all,
but he does it and, stranger yet, 1t IS
believed that the army IS loyal, brave
and efficient.
While yet on the subject OF the army
in connection with Laredo it ought 10
be said, that while the Sixth cavalry Is
crack regiment. the Fourth IS sun
better. This is known as President
Diaz's own body guard. 1t came to the
frontier from the City OF Mexico. 1t Is
now stationed down at Mier, nearly op-
posite Fort Riuggold. 1t is the regi-
n ment upon which Diaz relies nost, for it
was recruited from the bandits and con-
ira. bandits of the lower Rio Graude and
has had several years of petting and
fancy work in the City of Mexico. The
Fourth is composed of what are known
as "Tamaulipecos," (people from the
Tamaulipecos), and it is the boast OF
every Tamaulipecos soldier that he can
xugle-handed put a half dozen "Aochos"

IT is a very just observation that

the patural instinct Of mankind and
even of womankind to cap the tale

The wheat crop OF Canada the past

The wheat crop OF Canada the past
year is estimated at 10000, 900 bush
els, or one-tenth that Of the United
States. Manitoba is credited with
$4,000, 900 and the farther west with
enough to leave one-half OF the
production for the eastern portion OF
the country. The total was at first
estimated at only 4S,000,000 bushels,
but the thrashing returns were such
an agreeable disappointment that 25
per cent. was added to the original
figures. The total is large one, but
is far from measuring the possibilities
of Canada as a wheat producer in
case the world should find itself in
danger of running short in the sup
ply from other sections. So long as
plenty can be looked for in ordinarily
good seasons elsewhere, the severe
climate in the western part of the
Dominion may prevent much exten-
sion of wheat culture there. Adding
together the big and the little the
wheat production Of the northern
half of this continent is found to be
fully one-third that Of the whole
globe, a pretty large proportion; nd
especially when it is remembered that
it is only a few years since North
America began to rise towards that
important position of feeding one
third the wheat-eaters Of the world.
Plenty Of people are now alive in
whose day the United States barely
raised enough wheat for home con-
sumption by tho relatively small
population of their childhood, Now
the United States uses up close to
100000 bushels per day and has ex-
ported to Europe at nearly that rate
during several weeks since our last
crop was gathered in.

site each other, but they are close enough
to see each Others flags and hear each
others music. The Mexican music is
very much the best. There is one
thing the Mexican army is famous for
its gayly caparisoned officers and its
superb bands. The band of the Sixth
Cavalry, stationed here temporarily, Is
one of the finest in. the army, and the
music it furnishes on Sunday, Tuesday
and Thursday evenings is the delight of
the population on both sides of the river.
A gayIy decorated band stand is erected
in the military plaza, and from o'clock
until 10 on those evenings the plaza is
filled with Mexican ''summer girls" oil
in white, with yellow and scarlet rebosas
on their heads, promenading and listen
ing to such music as would make Gill
more and Professor Souza, of the Ma
rine Band in Washington, stir their
stumps.
Nobody ever goes to Mcintosh to
listen to Major Morris's band of the
Third Cavalry. 1t is simply an ordinary,
everyday band of inferior players, little
better than is heard in omall towns all
over the country. The United States
Government has always been nigardly
with its military music. The Mexican
Government is just the reverse. Its
bands are the best paid portion OF Its
army except officers of high rank. A
musician in a Mexican band gets about
the same pay as second lieutenant,and
the leader has the rank and pay OF q
captain, and, like the officers, they get
their pay promptly. No pay, no mnsic

The officers of the Sixth Mexican
Cavalry stationed here are gorgeous be.
ings. Colonel Cerron, who is brevet
brigadier with brigade commend, is q
fine looking old man, but carries abun-
dant evidence in his face that he is nc
stranger to cognac and mescal. He has
a daughter who is the belle of Northern
Mexico, but as neither father or daughter
speaks q word of English and as they are
not especially in love with Los Gringos,
ones acquaintance with the family is OF
slow progress. General Cerron, when in
uniform, is blaze of silver from cap to
stirrup. The Mexican military embellish.
ment is silver and scarlet-silver braid,
silver buttons, silver stripes and silver
aiguillettes and sword belts. The horse
equipments of the cavalry are also of sill
yer, and the field officers mounts are the
finest that can be got in Mexico. Like
all others, silver and scarlet afford the
soldiery establishment. In the general
style and cut of the uniform the Mexican
officers affect that of the, French. The
cap is particularly Frenchy, ,snd the short
military frock coat, with its silver braid
and buttons, is also in the style of the
French infantry-except, of course, that
the French use gold.

FORGIVEN.
The dew Of the Blood of God

AS the daisy star on the sod,
The singing brook on the green,
The young dove snowy and bright,
The silver cloud in the sky.
His scarlet has washed me white
I could sing with the bird on the bough
A little innocent song;
I could leap like the young lambs new
The f1eecy mothers among;
His lamb, even /.
could luugh so careless and wild,
With the youngest child in the sun,
I, with the heart of child,
Christ's little one.
Hark! how it flutters and sings,
Clothed in white,
The soul that hath known dark things,
Somewhere, far out Of sightl
As bird goes home to its nest
l fly with never a word
To His breast that will give me rest
Christ's singing-bird.
