characterzes the race and emanates from
spontaneous courtesy.
A Mexican gentleman will never permit
a lady to descend the stairs unaccompa-
MED. He takes her softly by the hand or
offers his arm to assist her In going down
the steps, and only takes leave of her
at the door; when he does not insist In
leaving the lady at her own home.
Often in their rambles through the
large cities OF the country strangers lose
their way and have recourse to their some
times scant knowledge of Spanish to be
put in the right road. An invariably
courtesy-when the stranger addresses a
man not of the lowest Chassis the result.
Love is more the business of life in Mex
leo than in Northern chimes; perhaps be-
cause other people have more diversions
than we have. The lady love is ardentiy
styled 1.-THE very eyes of me-" but that
does not prevent the Mexican beau when
strung by jealousy, from denouncing love
as treacherous.
"Since there is no help, bow before you,
kiss your feet and depart" is the becom-
ing way in which the unrequited lover
takes leave of the girl, that has given him
the cod shoulder. ,q

SPLIT AMONG THE STRIKERS.
NOS-UNIoN MEN CLAIM THEY ARE
Disseminated AGAINST.

A Charge That Money Collected Out
side of the Union Has Been Paid
40 Union Operatives to the ENcIu-
sion of the Non-UniOn HeIp-NOn-
Union Speakers Elected From a
Meeting Called for the Purpose of
Considering the Alleged GrIev-
ance.
New Bedford, Mass, Feb 3.-The prin-
cipal feature of the day in the strike sit
uation is the difference that has arisen be
tween the union and non-union operatives
This difference threatens to end in open
ruptures, and as many case of restitution
are actually reported. no doubt hundreds
of non-union operatives would take the first
chance to break from the strikers and / e
turn to work. These non-unionists say
that money collected outside the union has
been paid to union operatives to the ex-
clusion of non-union help.
Such feeling has been created among
non-uuion strikers that a meeting was
called for this afternoon at o'clock. At
the headquarters in Dawsons hall nom
union striker mounted the platform to
make the announcement of the meeting,
when some of the crowd set upon him and
put him out of the building. Under these
circumstances even the men who have
threatene to advise the non-union men to
return to work unless the union men aided
them were not at the meeting at the APP
pointed time.
But the dissatisfaction is getting so
widespread as to cause a feeling OF uneas-
mess and fears are expressed that unless
some steps are taken at once the non-un-
ion men viii cause trouble.
The charge of the non-unionists of not
receiving proper aid has caused an unus-
ual amount of bitterness among the union
men and women in charge of the collec-
tions. The most prominent labor men are
inclined to urge the strike council to let
the non-unionists assume the task for
themselves.
Others say that the dissatisfaction
among the non-union weavers is not like
ly to cause any serious disturbance in the
programme, as laid out by the leaders of
the strike, since the mill treasurers would
not think of opening the gates to the non
union men unless a settlement had been
had with the union men,

The general opinion, however, seems to
be that an adjustment of the strike situa-
ton will be impossible and the operatives
have declared from the first that they

Muny0n's new and
humane methods of treatment have swept
away all the old-fashioned ideas of doctoring
with poisonous drugs that create a dozen
diseases in the effort to get rid of one. He
does not claim that he has one remedy that
will cure all complaints, but that he has pre-
pared specific cure for nearly every disease.
Munyon does not claim that Munyon's Rheu-
matisrn Cure will cure consumption, dyspepsia
or any other complaint. but he does assert that
1t will cure rheumatism. Munyon's Dyspepsia
Cure is prepared expressly to cure dyspepsia;
Munyon's Cough Cure to cure coughs; Mum
yon's Catarrh Remedies to cure catarrh; Mum
yon's Kidney Cure to cure kidney troubles.
The same may be said of all Munyon S different
remedies. They may be obtained at ell drug

A new claimant for Clipperton Island

A new claimant for Clipperton Island

If you open the gate no one will know;

You must open it gently, slowly-so.

way the key to their meaning has been lost.
Vast libraries have been written and fierce
controversies generated over the imperfect
reports of His teachings and the mlsappre-

never has a word been uttered against the

1t is to the credit of the church of to-day
that it no longer strives as formerly, over
creeds and dogmas. 1t to-day giveslth all

Calm are the holy dead
When the passion of Life Is Ger,
When the green turf flowers Ger the resting
head
And the turbulent dreams of the world have
fed
And the wild heart throbs no more!
Blessed are the holy dead.
Though dark were their lot before:
For healed are the wounds that on earth
have bled
And dried are the tears that on earth were
shed
For the sorrows that erst they bore!
Wise are the holy dead,
Aye wise with noble lore;
For to their clear glances are open spread
The scrolls where the secrets OF God are
read,
In the heavens where the angels soar!
Oh who will bemoan the dead,
AS stricken with anguish sore?
Though the sod or the marble be Ger his
head,
His beautiful soul with a song hath fled
To the rest that it loved of yore!
