The Iaquis are again on the rampage
in Mexico, and. as usual. the Mexican
government seems to be unable to cope
with them successfully. This tribe of
Indians is probably the nearest ap-
proach to fiends in human form that
the Now World has ever known. They
arc said tn be worse than the Apaches,
whom the American soldiers finally
succeeded in subduing. and If that is 4
fact tho failure Of the Mexican govern
mcnt TO reduce them to submission is
hardly TO be wondered at. For
centuries they have afflicted Mexico,
lurking in the recesses of the most
rugged mountains. and occasionally ut
unexpected times sallying out to
ambush. to making raids, TO torture,
and to kill.

TO say farewell beautifully is an art--an
art which reflects a certain amount OF

an art which makes the things We have
