OLDEST AMERICAN CITY.
The Mysterious City of Honduras, the
Cradle of Maya Civilization.

The Central American explorer,
George Byron Gordon, contributes
an article entitled ''The Mysterious
City of Honduras to the January
Century. This gives an account of
the recent remarkable discoveries
made at Copan. Mr.. Gordon says:
Hidden away among the noun
tains of Honduras, in a beautiful
valley which, even in that little
travelled country, where remoteness
is a Characteristic attribute of
places, it is unusually secluded,
Copan is one of the greatest myster-
les of the ages. After the publica-
tion in 1910 of Stephen s account of
his visit to the ruins, which made
them known for the first time to the
world, the interest awakened by his
graphic description and the draw
ings that accompanied it from the
skillful pencil of Catherwood, re-
lapsed; and until within the last
decade writer's on the subject of
American archaeology were DEEPEN
dent entirely for information con-
corning Copan upon the writings of
Stephens, which were regarded by
many with skepticism and mistrust.
Not only do the recent explorations
confirm the account given by Ste
phens as regards the magnitude
and Importance of the ruins, but
| body museum is sufficient to con-
vince the most skeptical that here
are the remains of city, unknown
to history, as remarkable and as
worthy of our careful consideration
as any of the ancient centers of civ
! ilization in the old world What
ever the origin of its people, this
old city is distinctly American-the
growth of American soil and environ
ments. The gloomy forest, the abode
Of monkeys and jaguars, which
clothed the valley at the time of
Stephen S visit was in great part de-
stroyed thirty years ago by colo
ny from Guatemala, who came to
plant in the fertile valley the tobac-
co for which, much more than for
the ruins, that valley is famous
throughout Central America today.
They left the trees that grew upon
the higher structures, forming
picturesque grove, remnant of
which still remains few cedars
and ceibas of gigantic proportions,
clustered about the ruins of the
temples, shrouding them in q SOM
Der shade and sending their huge
roots into the crevices and unex-
plored chambers and vaults and gal
leries of the vast edihces.
1.-The area comprised within the
limits of the old city consists of a
level plain seven or eight miles long
and two miles wide at the greatest.
The plain is covered with the re-
mains of stone houses, doubtless the
habitations of the wealthy The
streets, squares and courtyards
were paved with stone, or with
white cement made from lime and
powdered rock, and the drainage
was accomplished by means of COW
cred canals and underground sew
ers built of stone and cement. On
the slopes of the mountains, too, are
found numerous ruins, and even on
the highest peaks fallen columns
and ruined structures may be seen. :"

Abuse Of Public Men.

In recent article of uncommon
merit, DIR. L.afferty says: 1.-The curse
of America is the wanton abuse of
honorable meR n high places. We
are drivinS.6ur best citizens out of
our serylGe. The hardened politi-
ciagH0nly will be left to conduct our
affairs Already the men Of culture,
refinement, and delicate s9nsibility
turn their backs on public employ
ment. It is unfair, sinful, suicidal.
Let ministers set their faces against
it. " This witness is true. We know
many men of uncommon gifts who
hesitate to accept public preferment,
because it involves the possibility
OF being blackguarded as if they
were so many pickpockets. Nash

LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
Scrofulous Humors How a Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofuIa on his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
Wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which hid helpd her was
Hoods SarsaparilIa. We decided to give
it to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned. !"
WILLIAM BARTz, 416 South Williams ST.,
South Bend, Indiana.
You can buy Hoods Sarsaparilla of all
druggists. Be sure to get only Hoods.
