WISE MAN OF TRIBE.

He is always the oldest and wisest
man of the tribe. He is looked upon
with the same superstitious reverence
as were the oracles of Dodona and Del
phos in the boyhOod of the world. In
that cave are preserved rare'gem of
curiOuSly carved emeralds, such as the
great 'Malinche" sent home to Spain;
idols of gold and silver and copper
and stone. pearl necklaces from the
far-off Gulf of California. and strange
robes of feather work, of which but
very few examples are known today
outside the pages of Sabagun, Pres
colt and Clavigero.
There are also ranged in fitting or
der the ancient gods of this strange
people, of whom this old man is the
high priest. Once a month a commits
sion of the oldest men of the tribe visits
the cave and takes with it, in the name
of the people, offerings of fruit and
flowers, and eatables and incense in
honor of the gods and their oracle.
Upon all affairs of Importance to the
tribe this old man is consulted, and
his judgments are as those of the Modes
and the Persians.
l asked whether it would be possible
to visit him or not, and was told that
no one, not even members of the same
tribe outside the before mentioned
Commission" had ever seen the inside
of that strange and mysterious cave.
My informant told me that at a certain
point all persons are stopped by a
guard and told that they can proceed
further upon pain of death. And this
is not a tale of 400 years ago, but to-
day.
The tribe and il. cave are at the
north side Of Popocatepetl. and every
Saturday in Atlixco members of this
tribe are at the market to buy and
sell their simple necessities of life. 1t
is enough to see them to realize at
once the great difference between them
and the other Mexican Indians who
are seen there at that time. Not only
is their style of clothing very differ
ent, but also their language.

Truth About the Cubans,

Probably no officer in our army is
better qualified to judge soldier at
sight than Gen. Lawton. His long SER
vice in the West and against the In
dams makes him an especially compe-
tent witness as to the value of the pri-
vate under adverse conditions, and
Gen. Lawton is very glad to bear tes-
timony to the soldierly capacity OF the
Cuban insurgents.
Garcia's army came into our camp
''as ragged as Falstaff's Gadshill force,"
but after clothing and arms had been
issued TO them, Gen. Lawton says,
''you would never know the clean,
alert, ready man of to-day, who brings
his piece up smartly to the salute
as l pass, as the ragged, half-starv-
ed, wholly dirty refugee who consti-
tuted the so-called army under Garcia"
This testimony to Cuban capacity
and fitness should be received with
welcome in this country for the very
simple reason that we have promised
the Cubans freedom and independence,
which means self.government.-New
York World.

A Voice from the COrnflelds,

To see the standing crops of corn,
wheat and hay in Illinois, Iowa, Kan
sas, Missouri, Nebraska and Colorado
seems like a dream. 1 have passed
through all these States, which are the
granaries of the nation, within thirty
six hours. In twenty years have not
seen such crops-such indications of
prosperity.
Rains have been copious from the
the Ohio to the Rocky Mountains.
Even about Greeley, in Colorado, irri-
cation has not been resorted to. Colo
RADIO wheat, corn and fruits are looking
magnificent. The wheat is generally
harvested in Colorado, Kansas and
Texas, but respers, looking like wab-
bling windmills, are revolving all over
Nebraska.
"Crops good?" 1 shouted to an old
farmer who had just started four reap
ers into ffty-acre wheatield away at
Oxford, west of Kesrney.
"Good!" he said. "Good? I should
smilel" and then his eyes, nose and
mouth collapsed into remember. the
Maine grin. Then, as the train started
off, he screamed: "And we've got the
hogs to eat the corn, tool"
Last year Nebraska had few hogs,
and millions of bushels of old corn fill
great bins around the railroad stations.
At one station there were thirty bins,
each 200 feet long.
1t is strange TO see the Kansas sun
flower poisoning all over Colorado
and stranger still to have two lectures
broken up by fantastic showers which
wet down the Boulder Chautauqua.
There are no tramps in the West
now, where any man can get S1.50
day in the harvest field. Every little
factory is going, too. found new
knife and scissors factory in old Macon,
Mo, and 100 Missourians were making
So a day. All the potteries in New Jer-
sey, Ohio, Illinois and Indiana are at
work, and the glass and tin factories in
Indiana are not able to ill their orders.
Great oil and gas fields are being
worked in Kansas and Texas. Cotton
looks superb all over the South, and
1856 cotton factories in North Carolina
and SO in South Carolina are spin
ming it.
With wonderful, crops, $500, 000, 900
balance in our favor on our last years
foreign trade, and the army capturing
enough territory to pay its own expen-
ses, Americans should be happy.

down or the cable parted somewhere in
midocean and that stuff could get into
the home Office quicker by mail.
a newspaper man in the United
States can depend on getting stuff sent
per wire at the rate of 500 words an
hour anywhere that he can find wire.
He may be scorching back on bicycle
from lynching party or mining riot
in the farthest backwoods, and have to
depend on the railroad operator at
some little unheard-of siding in the
woods, but if he can catch his wire by
one A. NJ. he may depend on getting
some sort of a story into that mornings
edition of his paper.
Not so in these latitudes. At Port
Antonio the operators are all girls, as
at most of the English offices through
the islands. The chief operator gets 81
per week, and, sending at top speed,
can get off 500 to 600 words an hour.
The other operators get paid S. and SO
per week, and are proportionately
slower. But this is lightning fast COM
pared to the Kingston cable office.
Cable sending is slower than overland
at all times, but $50 words an hour is a
fair gait on the Atlantic lines. Judge,
then, the disgust of one war correspond
ents who filed 1,100 words from Port
Antonio on Friday afternoon and got a
"kick" from his home office stating that
the dispatch did not begin to show up
till three P. NJ, Saturday, and was not
finished until eight P. NJ. Sunday.-New

 The situation has not changed. Liver pool continues bearish, and the local crowd is assisting in depressing prices. Reports of light movements and damage continue, but at the same time continue to be ignor ed. Sentiment favors lower prices and it is as useless al the present to argue against it as to try to turn the current of the Mis-
 sissippi but facts must no. be ignored and unless our advices are altogether mislead- ing, we look for q turn in sentiment soon which will cause covering of shorts. Cot
 ton bought at present prices may require protection, but will ultimately yield profits.
