THE PRESS.

In somo suburban towns the news
paper carrier nowadays makes his
rounds on bicycle.
OF the 946 papers and magazines pub
dshed in New York city one-half-47s
,-are issued monthly. The dailies
number forty-six.
THE first printing press, with the ut
most diligence, could be made to
print from twenty to thirty-five sheets
an hour on one side only; the printing
presses of to-day print from $4,000 to
$4,000 in the same time on both sides.
CURVED stereotyPed plates were in
vented in 1915, but were little used for
half a century after that date. Since
1865 they have come into general en-
ployment in every newspaper Office in
the country whose edition is printed
on fast steam press.
THE first almanac was printed in
Hungary in 1470. One medical firm in
this country now prints and circulates
over 100000 a year, and it is estima-

ADMINISTERING LAW IN TEXAS.

A Cow Thief Too Busy to Serve His Sem
tence.
In the county seat of little Texas
frontier town, an illiterate old cattle
man was brought up before the grand
jury for cow-stealing. The old man
had been stealing cows all his life, and
looked upon this arrest as a joke,
thinking that his money and his in
iuence would be able to pull him
through. Consequently he sat through
the trial with look of sublime un-
concern on his face, cutting off chew
after chew of tobacco and whiting a
bit of pine with his old Barlow knife.
The evidence, however, seems to have
been conclusive, for the jury retired
and speedily returned, bringing in a
verdict of guilty, and the Judge as
sessed a term of five years in the peni-
tertiary.
''Whut's that?" exclaimed the old
rascal, jumping up and splitting his
quid out, "whut's that, gentlemen?
Five years in the peniteutiary? Me?
Five year in yer burned ole Jail that

The judge was an ''old-timer," too.
He had dealt in mavericks before he
took to the law.

said, Internally awkward! Let's see

scratched his head and thought awhile.

MEXICAN BLOOD.
The Inhabitants of Our Sister Republic
Descendants from Indians.

The Inhabitants of Our Sister Republic
Descendants from Indians.
People of the United States have
some very queer ideas of our sister re-
public of Mexico They think of the
Mcxicans as Spaniards who have re-
ceived dash of Indian blood. Now
the fact is that Mexico is not Spanish,
but an Indian nation. The pure
blooded Indians constitute more than
one-half the population of Mexico.
The remainder are chiefly Indians with
a dash of Spanish blood. There are
very few pure blood Spaniards in Next
co, and these are hated with hearty
good will by the Indians and
hybrids, who refer to them as 'guachu-
pins, which appears to be Mex
lean for snobs. Contrary to popular
opinion in this country, there is very
little admixture with the negro race in
Mexico. The Mexicans have no partic-
ular objection to intermarrying with
the negroes, but there are very few of
the latter in the country. At Vera ruz
and other coast towns there has been
some admiXture with the coolies,
brought from the Manila islands. The
clusively Indian, and millions of them
can not speak Spanish at all. Many Of
them are highly civilized and very
wealthy Politically it is great ad-
vantage to be a pure-blooded Indian
Benito Juarez, at one time law partner
of President Diaz, and regarded as the
Washington of Mexico, was full-blood
Oaxaca Indian. There are about six
million Indians in Mexico still classed
as savage. They are not savage in the
sense that the Sioux are, but they add
nothing to the wealth of the country.
1t is the policy of the Diaz government,
as outlined in the last annual report of
Nj. Romero, minister de hacienda, to
civiiize these Indians and ma ke of them
valuable citizens, thereby more than
doubling the wealth-producing force of
the republic. Mexico is far behind the
central and South American states.

think of paying the price demanded for
