MEXICO, Mo-, Feb. 2o.-aLook
out boys! Run for your horses!n
Such was the cry as a wild steer
rushed madly through the crowd of
horses and men gathered together in
the Mexican Custom House yards in
the City of Mexico. This yard is
surrounded on all sides by a stone
wall some twelve feet high into
which all the stock has to enter and
be examined before being allowed to
go to their destination; but we are
not SO fortunate as some, we having
to remain in the enclosure several
days, during which time this excit-
ing event occurred. "Run for your
Iives!'' and, suiting the action to
the word, Norman Lakeland, Jr.,
scrambled to the top of a freight car.
ALI was the widest confusion for a
time, as the mad beast rushed into
the midst of horses and men tossing
his head with its long powerful horns
from side to side in the vain effort to
catch horse or man and land them
on the outside OF the walk. When he
was finally corralled and placed IN
his stall we proceeded to call the
roll. All answered to their names
ali, save one. Where is Lakeland?
Lo! perched upon the car like an
eagle upon some high peak sat our
hero, Norman Lakeland, Jr., safe
and sound. Scrambling down the
side of the car amidst shouts of
laughter he asked, "Boys, were you
scared?"
Leaving these yards we proceeded
at once to Colonel Pate's race track,
which is situated some three miles
from the city. Here We were installed
with our horses and all our equip
ments for about a month. During
stay We visited many places of
interest in the city.
First of all is the Cathedral built
upon the site of the Aztec Temple,
which the Spaniards destroyed when
they conquered the city in 1921.
The Cathedral was commenced in
1878, completed in 1891 and cost
$2,000,0 900. 1t measures 337 by 1T
feet; interior height, 179 feet; sol
q%uadruple pillars, each 35 feet in
circumference, support the roof. 1t
contains five naves, fourteen chap
els and six affairs. Climbing to the
top of the tower, which is 200 feet
in height, we had a fine view of the

BONDS ISSUED.

Secretary Carlisle announced Wed
nesday afternoon that he would issue
so million dollars in 5 per cent bonds,
redeemable after ten years. The
bonds will be issued i'm denominations
of $50 and upwards and sold TO the
highest bidders, for gold to replenish
the treasury reserve.
This announcement furnishes the
country with a most instructive con-
trast in the financiering of the Repub-
lican and the Democratic parties.
The Republican party in % years re-
duccd the National debt from nearly
5000 million dollars to less than one
thousand million. In less than one
year of the first complete control it
has had since the war, the Democrat
ic party has increased the debt by
