money. We use 'em fer sinkers wher
fishing, we do. Your trolly is off,

Offering a United States nickel for {
morning paper. Everything and
everybody is Yankee when from The
United States and the contempt pu'
upon the word reminds us of the ex
IRENE Southerner when referring tt
a man from Maine. The man from
one of the Carolinas is a "Yankee'
here just the same as the manfron
Vermont. He comes from "ovel
there" You may be very nice ifyor
come from 'sthe other side," but yor

broad sneer and deep contempt
Their five cent pieces are as small
as our gold dollar and their one CEN
pieces are as big as a silver dollar
By-the-way, we have not seen a sill

When nearly broke you a change
all your money into one cent pieces
and go ''loaded" or, at least, lader
down.
The churches in this country are
many and most of them grand
structures. Toronto alone has ovel
200 places of worship and some o.
them palaces. 1t is a shame Mexico
has no modern churches. 1t is true
you can worship God just as well il
a small church but many who favor
small churches when larger mes are
needed do not do any worshiping
any way except with their mouths,
Their prayers do not go very higf
and they want small churches SO
they a at least reach the roof.
"God save the Queen; )" she is
everywhere here, at least in name.
We travel on the s'Queen" steamer
we stop at the Queens Hotel; -
we ride and drive on Queens
street (if the street is bigger than
an alley); the "Queen's Own band
furnishes music, and the "Queen's
Own" rifles escort us, and we took
dinner to-day at the "Queen's
Royal at Niagara on the lake, etc.
Bully for the Queenl
To enjoy the Falls you should see
them the second time. 1t is toe
grand to take in at one passing visit.
All day yesterday Mitchell wanted
to know of his mother if he could
wade in the Falls when he got there.
On arriving he had his shoes off and
his pants rolled up and was all ready
to go in. AS the grand Falls came
in sight his face was a picture and
his shoes dropped from his hands.
He was almost speeches. (and that's
saying n good deal, for he takes after
his mother). Standing in such a
place the children at least appreciate
to some extent the wonders of nature
and the power of our Creator.
The are in progress at To-
ronto, which has no mile track, but
has sulkies with pneumatic tires,
like those on a bicycle. With pneu-
matte tires, on Mexico's kite-shaped
track, our old "Rarus'' ought to go
a mile in ten minutes.
Here's "Queen's Own Island,'
and we stop here for half a days
fishing and | must save myself up
for a good fish story, for it takes a
good one to cause a ripple since Mr..
Marmaduke got home from the East
with a new supply, and he tells his
in such a way as to make you be-
lieve him-that, is unless yon know
him. r. nj. w.
