Americ IN Books In Mexico.

Mexico buys more American books
than does France, and nearly as many
as Germany. Much of this trade is
due to the large resident American
population to be found in Mexican cit
les and 10 the demand from mining
camps where Americans are living, and
not little is due TO the growing spread
Of English among the Mexican people
There is strong tendency here in ia
vor Of popularizing the English Ian.

For long time the favorite form
of make believe" of little Faith was
that of getting married" For weeks
she was bride, marching down an

imaginary wedding march, to meet
an imaginary bridegroom. At last
her mother, becoming tired of it,
said:
Faith, don't you know that when
you get married you will have to
leave me?"
This was rude awakening, and
the game stopped.
Not long afterward she came to ask
the difference between Miss" and

mother said:
"Well, when you grow up and be-
