Politeness In Mexico.

Gentlemen Ia Mexico tip hats when
ever they SEE each other, they shake
hands whenever they meet and part,
they do not consider it bad form TO
stand in line ON the sidewalks and
stare ut the ladies, they wear their
hats in Il theater until the curtain rises,
and, moreover, they put them ON be
tween the acts and stand up to look
ut the audience. and after separa-
ton they embrace and pat each other
on the back If they happen to be init
mate friends.
They smoke everywhere. even in
some theateTS. They never carry bun
dies in the street. but each Is attended
by Il servant. who carries even the
smallest package. They are wonder
fully courteous 20 each other. and two
friends will spend good deal of time
in deciding which shall enter room
or carriage first.
Finally, every Mexican gentleman
when strolling on Il street insists on
giving the inside of the walk TO his
companion as II mark OF politeness.
This point is quickly decided II there
is difference in station or age. hut il
there is not. and the two friends go
down II street ard cross often So that
the relative positions are changed. a

FINES RENTED

On an appeal being made to Mayor
Peabody by the accused the fine
assessed by Squire Pennington against
Capt. Lee and Envoy Malloy of the
Salvation Army last week, for an
alleged disturbance of the peace, was
remitted, much to their qualification.
1t is asserted by Salvation Army
people that they have received assur-
ances from Mayor Peabody that they
will be permitted to conduct religious
services on any of the street corners
of the city, provided, of course, they
do not violate any of the ordinances
in doing SO.
1t is TO be hoped that the Salvation
Army will deport itself in the future
in such way as not to bring, itself
in conflict with the municipal au-
thorities.

napid Army Mobilization.

The finest example of rapid organ
ization of an army was certainly the
mobilization of the German army in
1870. ON July II in that year the fn-
nous telegram, the shortest and most
momcntous ever dispatched, "Krieg.
Mobil," went forth from the headquar-
ters at Berlin, and within fortnight
an army of 100000 men. fully uni
formed. equipped and provided with
cOmmissariat, was on its way to the
French frontier. or course it must bc
remembered that all these men had
been previously warned and that all
had been through their period Of mill
tary training.-LondOn Answers.

A GREAT RUSH

One of the greatest trade rushes in
the commercial history of Canon City
occurred at the opening of the o. f.
Sawyer Dry Goods company's new
store at 413-415 Main street, last
Saturday.
The doors of their place of sbusi-
ness were formally thrown open to
the public at . O'Clock in the morning
and from that time until the hour
for closing at night their sales rooms
resembled the boxoffice of a metro
politau theatre the day preceding a
Patti concert.
A special corps of clerks had been
employed for the occasion, but they
We're utterly inadequate to meet the
demands made upon them by the
throng of shoppers, which crowded
the store from one end to the other,
rendering it practically impossible for
those who had been waited upon to
make their way out upon tie street.
Owing to the jam of humanity,
which filed every available foot of
stduuluR TOOHf III Ulle STORE, Ullt CleTkS
were unable to wait upon their Gus
toners and many people We're COM
PEELED to leave the store with their

half an hour or more to &c. their pur-
chases wrapped up, without which
they could not be taken away.
, The great majority of mankind are
natural bargain hunters, and any ar
ticle of merchandise which will
afford the purchaser little extra
value for his money, is sure to attract
crowd of prospective buyers, provid-
ed, of course, that it has been proper
ly advertised.
That there is no greater stimulus
to any sort of business than a
judicious use of printers ink is rapid
ly becoming the axiom of trade and
the value of it has been thoroughly
proven in the case of Mr.. Sawper's S

AN ANCIENT GAME

In passing along River street few
days ago a number of gentlemen
We're observed pitching quoits, pop
ular outdoor amusement, and perhaps,
the oldest game in existence. The
writer and companion, who were
walking along the street at the time,
halted for few moments to witness
the contest, which was very inter
esting one. On resuming the walk
the latter remarked: ''The game
of Quoits appears to have lost none of
its charms for those in quest of an
athletic entertainment, although it is
almost as old as humanity itself; an
tedating the building of the Roman
coliseum, and, perhaps, of the Egyp-
tian pyramids. 1t was favorite
amusement of the ancient Greeks and
was in the list of events competed for
of which the entire nation was
specfatior. The story is told in my
thology of II game of quoits between
Hyancinthus and companion, dur
ing which the former was wounded in
consequence of one of the quoits
striking him on the heel, from the
blood of which, sprang up the hyan-
cinth. the sweetest of flowers.
'The game OF quoits is, observed
the writer's friend, lone OF the most
ancient and interesting in the annals
of mankind.

The quality OF Charity.

There probably never was a man or
woman who did not occasionally need
the charity OF those with whom tGey
came in contact. and on hearing a
story relating 10 the Stiffness or tickle
ness Of some one it is surprising that
they do not hope, for the honor Of
their race, that 1t is not true, or at
least treat it with charitable silence,
as they hope to be treated. There new
sr was q great man who paid much at,
tention to gossip; there heyer was d
woman distinguished above her sisters
for goodness who was not charitable.
You might as well nmuse yourself by
remarking the uglincss of people as to
amusc yourself by remarking their
faults and transgressions. We are all
ugly enough, heaven knows. and we all
have too many faults to warrant us in
being surprised at faults In othcrs.-

REPORT CHURCH WORK

At the close of the regular services
at the Christian church last Sunday
morning, a report of the work accom-
plished during the two years of the
pastorate of Rev. u. \. White was
made public and was highly crafty
ing to his congregation.
The report shows the membership
of the local church to be 100, total
gain of 81 in two years.
During the same period the various
agencies of the church have raised au
aggregate of SO. 1872. 81 for gospel work,
an amount largely in excess of the
sum contributed during any similar
epoch in the history of the congrega-
tion.
During the last six months .sl63
have been placed in the building
fund, which has now grown to re-
spectacle proportions.
The missionary offerings during the
last twelve months have been si7S.S9,
and the income from all sources
S4OS. so over the previous year.
There has been a growth along
everv line of church enterprise during
the pastorate of Rev. White, a sub
ject of felicitation to pastor and
parishoners alike.
The report indicates a considerable
increase in collections during the past
year by the church outside of its var
ious auxiliary agencies.
For mission work there has been
raised in two years 1927 SO. of which
considerable more than half has been
contributed during the last twelve
months
There has been n gain of kS5 men,
bers in the Sunday school since Rev.
White has been at the head of the
church, and the Christian Women $
Board of Missions has doubled its
membership during the same period.
The excellent showing made in
the report was somewhat surprising to
those unfamiliar with the progress
made in the various fields of endeavor
since 1900.
