Mexican Don's Silver Mine, Which He
Taps Whenever He Needs Cash.
A resident of Mexico recently related
the following story to writer for the
Kansas City Journal: a
"a Mexican grandee, whose name ia
Don Alcazar de Chilicolorow, owns
famous mine of inexhaustible riches in
the state of Chihuahua. 1t contains a
high grade silver ore, and is SO rich
that whenever the don or his sonora
run short Of money they simply direct
the head peon to- gather together his
delegation of twelve or thirteen scrfs
and their equally patient and uncom-
planning fellow serfs, the burros. Then
the don mounts the head burro and the
procession takes the trail for the fam
lily mine, as it is called. The mine has
been in the possession OF the don and
his ancestors for the past four CEN
turies. It is nothing but a rude tunnel
in the mountain side. The entrance to
the tunnel is securely barricaded with
heavy timber doors, which are securely
locked with three old Spanish locks,
the keys to which are always in the
possession of the don. When the mine
is reached the don unlocks the doors.
He then directs his body servant to
swing his hammock beneath the
branches of massive tree standing
at the entrance to the mine, which was
a well grown sapling when the first
don of the family discovered the mine
four hundred years ago.
s'The poems are then set to work
getting out the rich silver ore, which
they put into baskets slung upon the
backs of the burros. 1t is but the work
of five or six hours to get out ore that
will be worth several thousands of dol
lars. The Gre is free milling ore and
it is no trouble to work it. While the
ore is being taken out of the mine and
put into the baskets the don is lying in
his hammock leisurely smoking Gig
arettes. When the baskets are full the
don manages to pull himself together
long enough to lock up the mine and
seal the entrances and the cavalcade
then starts back and goes straight to
chihuahua, twelve miles away. AS
soon as they arrive there the don sells
the contents of the baskets, for which
he receives from twelve thousand to
eighteen Thousand dollars in cash in
Mexican money. He gives his poems .
liberal tip besides their meager wages
which they divide, like the conscicn-
tious poems they are, between the
church and the pulque merchants and
reserve small modicum to keep them
selves and their families partly clothed
and fed until the don holds his next
grand rally, which occurs four or five
times year. The don owns mag
nifcent hacienda, has lovely wife and
two beautiful daughters, who have all
the pride of the true Castilians. The
hacienda contains over six thousand
acres and is one Of the principal high
ways leading out of chihuahua, upon
which. like most of the land own
ers Of the country he pays little taxes. ("

mage, who is still absent ON his round
the world tour, has selected as the sub
ject Of his sermon through the press for
today holy Compulsion, the text
being Luke xiv, 23, "And compel them
| to come in. "
The plainest people in our day have
luxuries which the kings and queens of
olden times never imagined. l walked
up and down the stairs of Hollywood pal
ace-a palace that was considered one
of the wonders of the woodland l
said, Can it be possible that this is all
there was of this reputed wonderful
placer" And this is the case in many
other instances. There are fruits in
Westminster county and on Long Island
farms far better than the pomegranates
and apricots of Bible times. Through
all the ages there have been scenes of
festivity, and the wealthy man of my
text plans a great entertainment and
invites his friends. If one builds beau
tiful home, he wants his acquaintance
to come and enjoy it. If one buys an
exquisite picture, he wants his friends
to come and appreciate it, and it was a
laudable thing when the wealthy man
Of my text, happy himself, wanted to
make other people happy. And so the
invitations went out, but something
went very much wrong. You can inn
agine the embarrassment of any one
who has provided grand feast when
he finds out that the guests invited do
not intend to come. There is nothing
that 50 provokes the master of the feast
as that.
Well, these people invited to this
great banquet of the text made most
frivolous excuses. The fact was, sup
pose, that some of them were offended
that this man had succeeded so much
better in the world than they had
There are people in all occupations and
professions who consider it wrong to
them that anybody else is advanced. l
suppose these people invited to the feast
said among themselves: 1--WE are not
going to administer to that mans van
ity. He is proud enough now. We
won't go. Besides that we could all give
parties if we made our money the way
that man makes his. g."
So when the messengers went out
with the invitations there was unan-
imous refusal. One man said, "Oh, l
have bought farm, and must go and
look at it" He was land speculator
and had no business to buy land until
he knew about it. A frivolous excuse.
Another man said, 81 have bought five
yoke of oxen. " The probability is that
he was q speculator in live stock. He
ought to have known about the oxen
before he bought them. Besides that, if
he had been very anxious to get to the
feast, he could have hooked them up and
driven them on the road there. Another
frivolous excuse. Another man said,
"Oh, have married wife, and I can t
come" when if he had said to his wife,
81 have an invitation to a splendid din
ner. 1t is highly complimentary to me.
l should very much like to 60 Willyo1
go along with me?' she would have
said, 'To be sure, will 60" Another
frivolous excuse The fact was that they
did not want to go.

"Now," said the great man Of the
feast, 81 will not be defeated in this
matter. I have with an honest purpose
provided a banquet, and there are scores
of people who would like to come if
they were only invited Here, my man,
here; you go out, and when You find

him in, and when you find lame man
give him crutch and fetch him in, and
when you find a poor man tell him that
there is plate for him in my mansion,
and when you find some one who is SO
ragged and wretched that he has never
been invited anywhere then by the kind
est tenderness and the most loving in
vitation any one ever had compel him
to come in. -
Oh, my friends, it requires no acute
ness on my part OF on your part to see
in all this affair that religion is ban

good many years ago, and the disciples
gathered around it, and they thought
they would have good time all by
themselves, but while they sat by this
table the leaves began to grow and
spread, and one leaf went to the east
and another leaf went to the west until
the whole earth was covered up with
them, and the clusters from the heaven

and the trumpets and harps of eternity
