nnnI.ern In nrexico.

There are two classes Of donkeys in
Mexico-one with four feet and the
other with two Each is a kind Of
competitor of the other. Sometimes
they are partners. They are both
bearers of burdens and the subjects Of
brutality Everywhere you see the
donkey loaded down with sacks of ore,
baskets of dirt, cans Of milk. sacks Of
water. and you find his driver very
often loaded in the same way. These
combinations sometimes go two by
two, and sometimes there will be a
band Of ten to fifty thus loaded, com
ing down the mountains with ore,
charcoal or wood, corn or whatever
may be needed in the Villages or cities.
1t is indeed a medieval life in middle
and southern Mexico.

FOUND A GOVERNMENT BOND

Washington, Sept. 16-The treasury
department has received from United
States Consul General Guenther, at
Frankforton-the-M Main, Germany, a
United States government bond for
$500. which he forwarded for redemp-
tion for the benefit of Mrs. Martha
Schnell, an old German woman living
at Bornhein. a suburb of Frankfort.
The consul general writes that Mrs.
Schnell has a fad for collecting old
daguerrotypes. and recently in clean
ing one she had for about ten years
she accidentally broke the glass COW
ering the ancient portrait disclosing
the bond, which had been neatly fold
ed and placed in it's hiding place many
years before. Mrs. Schnell was about
TO destroy it. but was persuaded to
take IL to the United States consul
general to ascertain whether 1t had
any value. The portrait is faded be-
yond possible recognition, but the old
case shows that II was made in WOr-
cester, Mass. The bond is of the issue

TURKEY AND FOOTBALL.

Sport does not meet with much en-
couragement in Turkey and is pursued
under great difficulties. says the Lon
don Telegraph" p" A Young Turk called
Rechad Bey. inspired ty the Smyrna and
CnnstantinopIe football match, organ
lied a club among his friends. together
with some Greeks and Armeniaas. and
began praetieing. A few days ago in the
middle Of the night Ioliee came to his
house and carried him on to scutari.
There he was submitted to a long in
terrogation as TO the club aud the game
of football Matters only grew more
complicated as the Turkish word for
ball is top. the same as for a cannon.
The authorities were convinced that
they had found a great plot ana that
the club must be a secret society. 4
special messenger was sent for the
ball, and that was duly examined and
found to be an Internal machine. The
regulations of the club were considered
to be another piece Of damning evidence.
and still worse were the jerseys and
colors of the club. which showed q com
plete organizatio even to a uniform.
After long deliberation the culprit
was sent TO the higher police author
tiles in StambOul, who went through
second long examination and came to
the conclusion that the empire had
been saved from dIsintegration by the
early discovery of a great plot. They
dispatched the whole matter to lie ex-
amined into at Yildiz. So the young
man. the football. the rules and the
sweaters and kickers were all soIemnIy
taken to the palace and a special COM
mission took the matter in hand.
After much careful thought and ex-
animation of the evidence it was de-
cided that there might be nothing in
1t. but it must not be done again. Ac-
cordingly, the young man was appoint
cd vice consul at Teheran and bundled
of the same day.
