Ideal Resort for the Tourist.

Although not generally understood
by the travelling public there is vast
section of Nexico-the section traversed
by the main line of the Mexican Cen
tral Railway from the United States
border to the Mexican Capitai-which
enjoys during the heated term in the
United States, much more c0mfor-
table climate than the American sum-
mer resorts. This is due to the altitude
of the table lands, on which the road is
located-frim 1900 to 5000 feet above
sea level.
The average temperature of this sec
ton, according to government statistics
fol- a number of years. has been be-
tween 80 and 20 degrees Fahrenheit.
Along this line of road are to be
found the chief cities and principal
points in our sister Republic, while on
its branches there is scenery of marvel
Gus grandeur.
Holders of Pacific Coast excursion
tickets can purchase at Ell Paso. Albu-
querque or San Antonio, at specially
reduced rates, round trip tickets to the
City of Mexico and return, such tickets
being available over diverse routes GO
ing and returning in Mexico.
The Mexican Central is the only
Standard Gauge Line running Pullman

States to the City of Mexico without
change.

President Guggenheimer, of the mu
nicipal council of New York city, in
his effort to pass an ordinance prohib-
iting the use OF indecent or profane
language in public places, has struck
at an evil that obtains to a disgusting
degree in many cities other than New
York. The complete lack of spirit
of reverence that is so characteristic
of some people, and the utter disre-
gard of decency and the feelings of
others that often goes with it, has
come to be an evil of no small magni-
tude. There are forms of indecency
that are summarily punished, but the
offense of the foul-mouthed brawler
and street loafer is nearly as bad and
demands attention. May the move
prove successful and take in the whole
nation.

LETTER PERFECT.
An Ambitious Young Soldier Who
Thought He Was Born
to Command.

Elmer Campbell was the greenest and most
ambitious raw recruit in Col. Hartigans reg
iment of Tigers. The young man was the
best type of the "hay-foot straw-foot" sol
der in the ranks, and yet he was more anx-
ious than anyone to become an officer.
He pleaded with the colonel so long that
the latter finally told him if he would secure
a book on tactics and master it he should
have the first chance to show what he could
do when there was vacancy among the Off.
GERS. Campbell bought book on tactics
and stayed up late at night to learn its CEN
tents.
Forward. column right Tor left, as the
case may be), march,"
That was the form of the orders in the
book. Campbell learned these by heart,
parentheses and ALL He even committed the
explanatory notes to memory. He was mas
ter of that book of tactics and military life
began to take on roseate hue in his eyes.
One day the colonel called the men out for
drill and told Campbell he could try his hand
at giving orders il he wished. Campbell
ton opposite the head of his column, which
the book had told him was the proper thing
to do. Then he swelled his chest trife, and
with blush of pride called out:
Forward, column, right or left, as the
case may be, march,"
The column prepared to turn right as that
word was uttered, but when cleft as the
case may be" reached the ears of the men
they stood stock still. Then, as the situation
explained itself, hearty laugh went all
along the line The colonel quoted the
commotion, walked over to the recruit, and
made few earnest remarks in Campbell's
ears.
Campbell is still private, and is content
to hide his light under shel.-Chicago

Better Than Medicine.


Society is laughing long and merrily.
1t matters little whether you are in
gay and joyous mood or not, you
must laugh If you wish to be in fash
ion. Laughing is society's newest cure
for its mental and physical ills. A
certain woman well known in New
York's most fashionable society, re-
ports the Journal of that city, started
the laughing cure at Newport not long
ago on advice of her physician. She
herself had been laughing systematic
ally for the last three months before
leaving town. So much good had she
derived from this new cure that she
determined to make its merits known
to few of her closest friends. That
is how the laughing cure started at
Newport. Since then laughing has
taken the place of tonics and complex
ion lotions among certain exclusive
circle of women of wealth. 1t is the
most fashionable cure of the hour.
The women who have adopted it laugh
a merry, good-natured, hearty laugh
at least three times day. This they
do Systematically, whether they wish
to or not, and though at first they
may feel more like signing than laugh
ing, the Righteousness of such cure
is sure to affect them, and they laugh
naturally after time, even against
their will. But the laughing cure is
not SO much of joke as it sounds.
Laugh and grow fat" is an adage as
old as the hills, and the laughing cure
is founded on sound hygienic prin-
ciples. Ones general physical condi-
ton is so closely allied to the mental
that laughing is good, invigorating
tonic for the entire system. A long,
hearty laugh expands the lungs, max
ing the blood course through the veins
| quickly, and this simple process gives
u peach-like complexion to the wom-
an who laughs. And when she laughs
| her eyes twinkle and the brightness
fingers there after the laughter has
died away. Laughing, too, strengthens
the muscles of the face and banishes
that drawn look so familiar to the
sad-faced woman. The women who
have adopted the laughing cure claim
that they have never felt so cheerful
and thoroughly good natured before
in their lives, and their friends tell
them they are positively growing beau.

THE STANDARD MAINTAINED.
the Principles of Sound Money
and National Integrity.

When the Indiana republicans held
their state convention two years ago
they adopted platform in which they
declared themselves for "honest
money" They announced that they
were opposed to free coinage at the
ratio of sixteen to one because it would
debase the currency, and favored the
use of silver only to the extent that
its parity with gold could BE main
tanned. This year those republicans
take a forward step and assume po-
sition they were not ready to take in
1896. The state convention adopted
a money plank denouncing sixteen to
one" because it would "debase our
money and destroy our private and
public credit and cause general bust
ness disaster" The concluding sem
tence of the plank is as follows:
I'VE recognize the necessity OF compre-
hensive and enlightened monetary legis-
ldtion. and believe that the declaration in
the st. Louis national republican platform
for the maintenance of the gold standard
and the parity of all our forms CT money
should be given the vitality of public law,
and the money of the American people
should be made, like all its institutions. the
best in the world"
This is recognition of the fact that
the existing laws, which make United
States bonds payable in coin" and
the legal tender notes redeemable in
COIN" must be amended by requiring
those payments and redemptons 10 be
made in gold COIN" When that has
been done there will be no question
and no difficulty about the mainte-
nance of the gold standard. The whole
world will understand that the United
States is committed definitely and ir-
revocably to the worlds money stand
ard.
AS long as that naked word "coin"
remains in the laws. and the United
States has half billion of legal tender
silver money the bullion in which is
worth only about "A cents on the dol
lar, Bryanite president could slump
the currency and breed panic. 1t
would not be necessary for him to
have Bryanite congress behind him
10 enact free coinage law. All he
would have TO do to destroy public ard
private credit would be to order his
secretary Of the treasury to redeem
the greenbacks in legal tender silver
instead of gold. But Bryanite presi-
dent could give no such order II the
law ordered redemption in geld coin"
1t will be the duty of congress after the
free silverites have lost their majority
; in the senate TO insert the word gold
| before coin" Then it will be neces-
sary for the Bryanites to elect presi-
dent and have majority in the house
and senate before they can tamper
with the gold standard.-ChicagC Trib-
rre.
