HIS EXPERIENCE.

He is big man and young bache-
lor, and as we talked on the train ne
told me this: Il love to have children
in the house-that is one of the many
reasons why | think of getting mar
ried. The study of the little children
is one of the most interesting things
to me, and it seems to me mother
should be an entertainer for the chill
dren as well as parent to them. IL
seems to me should want a boy frst.
First a daughter, then a son, then
another worlds begun, but for the
daughters sake | think 1t is nice for
her to have an elder brother. 1t may
be better for the mother to have the
daughter first | am inclined to think
the kindergarten is for children with
out healthy home; that nothing
should come between the intelligent
mother and her child. The mothers
of Washington and Garfield did well
with their children, showing it is the
ideal home that gives the best school
ing. Kindergarten workers are OF
great service to mothers in furnishing
them with valuable information. |
have noticed how children love to see
things made for Them. A little one
that was visiting us wanted pistol
! to hold firecracker, so we went down
into the workshop, and, finding a
board, we marked it out. sawed it and
bored hole. The little one was more
interested in the making of it than the
using of it afterward. Children never
worry me. l love to have them climb
over me-"

POSTGRADUATE TUITION.

When we let the electric light burn
all night in the basement it is an
error, an unnecessary expense and
comes under postgraduate buttons.
After we had done so several times
| began studying for preventive meas
ures and found that If l turned the
button before coming through the
basement doorway | would not leave
the light on. The wall button for the
basement light is in the kitchen by
the door which opens on the base
ment stairs. My discovery was an
axiom, but it helped me start habit
of not passing through the door until
| reached through and around, turned
the button and saw the light go off.
But my wife had to have another kind
of memory helper Milk costs money
and she likes milk for pantry and
table. Her farm home in early life
educated her that way. To her moth
ing else seems so important for the
price as a bottle of milk reasoned
this out and then told her that when
she forgot the basement light for a
night it meant bottle of milk. This
made her stop and think and remem-

Industry until even the Strenuous
Tourist felt saturated with facts. They
saw Senior Bemejillo himself-a short
heavy man with Wellington nose,
who was dressed in white duck and
wandered meekly about the great
property he had created in the desert
When the inspection was finished the
Capitalist ventured to ask the guide
the easiest way to the falls. ut is
over there" he replied, waving his
hand vaguely to the west.
They stumbled out into the hot,
binding sunlight again. They followed
the course of a narrow street that
they hoped might lead to the falls.
Then their way was blocked by a
cantina with the name of the Three
Golden Goblets." Here rested several
poems, who quaffed pulque and mescal
from cups of common earthenware.
"Will you noble gentlemen have the
kindness to inform me how / can
find myself at the falls of Juanacat-
LAM" the Capitalist asked elegantly
and laboriously The drinkers replied
with polite and confused directions.
Each one had his own ideas and the
travellers finally LETT them to argue
the point among themselves.
Lets have something to eat and
look for the falls afterwards" the
Girl said. The Mother awoke from her
state of somnambulism and seconded
this request The Tourist groaned-
his companions were ever SO eager in
the pursuit of restaurants and so luke
warm in seeking improving sights.
They had no trouble in finding the
restaurant, although it was but sin
gle room. The proprietor was delight
ed by the advent of so large a party
and declared that dinner would be
ready in 'momentita." The sight

The sacred day was ending In a village
by the sea:
The uttered benedietion touched the peo-
pie tenderlys
And they rose 10 face the sunset In the
golden glowing west,
And then FASTENED TO their dwellings for
Gods blessed boon of rest.
But they looked across the waters, and a
storm was raging there;
A fierce spirit moved above them-the
wild spirit OF the air.
And II dashed and shook and tore them
till they Numbered, groaned and
doomed;
And, alasl for any vessel in their yawn-
ing CULTS entombed!
Sad and anxious were the people on that
rocky coast of Wales
Lest the dawns OF coming morrows
should be telling fearful tales.
When. the sen had spent Its passions,
and should cast upon the shore
Tangled wreck and swollen victims, as
II had done heretofore.
With the rough winds blowing round her.
a brave woman strained her eyes.
And she saw along the pillows a large
vessel fall and rise.
o, it did not need a prophet to tell what
the end must be,
For no ship could ride in safety near that
shore on such a sea.
Then the plying people hurried from
their homes and thronged the beach.
oh, for power 10 cross the waters and
the perishing wreck to reach!
Helpless hands were wrung for sorrow.
tender hearts grew cold with dread,
And the ship urged by the tempest, to
the fatal roek-shore sped.

to the delicate touch of the owner.
On election morning, after a last
repetition and checking off the names
of his tacks, he presented himself at
the voting booth and announced him
self as prepared to vote. A blind
man, by law, is allowed to delegate
the marking of his ballot to another,
but he must give the name and office
of each candidate for whom he votes
One of the judges waited to hear
what the blind man would have to
say for himself.

over the stick and ratified off without

How Blind Man Voted

That physical blindness does not
mean political blindness was shown
at the election in Baltimore. Joseph
II. Gladfelter, by the use of an in
genious mineomonic device, was able,
in spite of the complications of the
ballot, to maintain his record of vot-
ing a straight ticket.
Mr.. Gladfelter has been blind for
almost thirty of his fifty-two years
For the last fourteen years he has
taught music by means of boards, into
which he fastens tacks and nails cor
responding to the notes of the scale.
The boards are strung with wires.
which take the place of the lines of
the usual graphic scheme.
A composition Is carefully read to
Mr.. Gladfelter. He inserts lacks at
the proper places on his curious staff,
and each tack represents note. He
has various devices for indicating
tempo, sharps and flats, and all other
complexities of the music.
On election day Mr. Gladfelter pro-
cured a sample ballot for his legisla-
tive district and had read to him in
consecutive order the names of the
candidates, twenty-one in all, as he
proposed to vote for none but men,
bers of his own party. and for every
one on the list.
As each name was read Mr.. Glad
felter added one tack to the series.
Thus he had for election day stick,
not to long for the pocket, with line

Especial Correspondence.)

"The Falls of Juanacatlan are
known as the Niagara of Mexico" said
the Strenuous Tourist Here is a pic
ture of them on this fifty cent stamp
We ought not to leave Guadalajara
without going out to see them"
He passed the stamp to the others
OF the party, who tried TO look deeply
interested in the tiny picture which
seemed almost reproduction of the
American side of Niagara. Yes, of
course we ought to see them" began
the Capitalist, but" Together with
the Girl and the Mother they were
seated on the parapet of the fiat roof
of the Hotel Cosmopolita To the
west and south were green fields that
lay like verdant skirts on the lower
mountain sides. To the north and
west they looked on the roofs of
Guadalajara, lovingly known among
Mexicans as the Pearl of the West.
The fat house roofs were varied by
tree tops and church towers. In the
north rose the bastard Gothic spires
of the cathedral, to the left was a
quaint, pierced facade, hung with
DellS, Wnlle mere ana Iner6 were tne
square and octagonal campaniles that
are the glory of Spanish Mexican
church architecture. Over the scene
hung the pensive peace of the late
afternoon.
Any effort seemed an insult to this
quiet, but the Strenuous One con-
tinued: I'VE can leave here either at
half past eight in the morning or half
| past ten and have day at the falls,
coming back in the evening. We can
see the cataract, now at its best in the
| rainy season. and also the Bemejillo
cotton mills. They are run by power

| The Girl turned her reluctant eyes
| from the violet Swallowed mountains
"Well, don't cram us with facts now
Sufficient unto the day-you know the
rest"

gathering his party together in time
to reach the half past ten train the
next morning, but breathed sigh o.

sleepy, the Capitalist was cross and
the Girl showed perverse interest
in an Indian boy who sold the fruit of
the prlckly pear. The platform before
the train gate was crowded with every
sort of people There were brown
men in scarlet serapes, meek-eyed
peasant women with the eternal blue
rebosa wrapped about their heads,
women of the middle class in black
shawls, rural policemen, brave in
buckskin and sombreros, ablaze with
gold lace, and ladies and gentlemen
dressed in the modes of Paris and
New York
When all had found places in the
four classes of cars, each according
to his rank and ability to pay, the
little train crept out into the green
fields In the distance on every side,
was a Gordon of mountain peaks At
FL Castillo they left the train and took
passage on tram car that went oc-
casionally to the village of Juanacat-

They pushed on. That boy doesn't

buildings. Through the arch they
caught glimpses of yard filled with

How Did He Do IT.?

The man was ready to take a trip.
He told a lady clerk to forward his
mail to certain town. The clerk re-
piled: Il always get that town mixed
up with another town" The man took
pencil and said Il will write the
address down for YOU" He did so,
but after he had left it was discovered
that he had written the name of the
wrong town, which the lady had men,
toned as always worrying her When
informed by mail what he had done
the man would not believe it until he
returned and saw his own penman-
ship. When he told me about this err
ror began studying with him on how
1t was possible for him to make such
an error, and we agreed that his ear
and hand must have worked together
without his head, or while his mind
was on some other subject and as
his ear had heard the name of the
wrong town last his hand naturally
wrote that unconsciously.

she helped herself the third time to
hot milk and coffee essence. When
the Capitalist paid the score he asked
the restaurant keeper the way to the

Tourist muttered "a noble approach

The Strenuous One led the way.
They struggled down the street,
crossed the tracks and passed beneath
the arch. Here few homely but
friendly pigs joined the party. They
picked their way through bit of wet
clay and came to the wood pile. Go
ing around this they came upon the
COW stable and ON their left beheld
the mill of the Bleeding Heart. They
heard low grumble as much like the
roar of Niagara as the purr of a
house cat is like the roar of a lion.
They advanced to a wall of masonry
and looked to the right. At last they
saw the Falls of Juanacatlan.
Over a precipiee of black rock, pos
sible forty feet high, fell half dozen
slender rivulets of yellow water that
came to be mere foam before they
reached the bed of the river. Above
the falls ran dam of stonework and
by the side of the falls was a mill
