THF OLD CITY OF MEXICO
Curious Legends that Flourished in the
Ancient TOwn-The Story of the
Street of the Raven.

Every Old city has its legends. its
stories, its peculiar customs and its
characteristic quarters. OF al the Cit
1es i'll the new world. Mexico has clus-
tered within it more of legend, history,
tradition and quaint customs and peo-
pie than any other Almost every
street has its story, and these storie,
cover all the gamut of the picturesque.
pathetic.
In its early history the City of Mex
leo was divided into wards. or quar-
ters, each one of which was the special
home of some trade or profession.
There was the street or quarter of the
ehoemakers, the streets of the silver
smiths. of the bakers, of the saddle
makers, of the butchers, of the watch
makers, of the silk merchants. of the
wine sellers and 50 on. There was
even the street of the coffin makers.
Many of these old names still exist,
though the caste-like character of the
streets has somewhat changed. One OF
the most fashionable streets of the city
IL Plateros. the street of the silver
smiths. Even today there are more
jewelry shops on this street than any
other kind of business, and here still
are to be found the most fashionable
jewelry and art curio stores of the city.
The street of the coffin makers still
exists and is now very appropriately
known us the Street of Death 1t is a
narrow lane, running the length of
only one block.
Cinco de Mayo (oth of May) street
was named in commemoration of the
decisive advantage gained by Mexican
troops over the French, which took
place upon that date. This naming of
streets. parks and public places after
dates is common in Spanish countries.
One end of Cinco de Mayo street en-
ters the ZocalO. the principal square of
the city. The Zocalo has seen many
historic happenings. There in olden
times was the great temple of the Az
tees, which was, with its accompanying
base or pyramid, larger than st. Pc
ter's at Rome, the largest church build
ing in the world There, too, was the
palace of Montezuma, in fact, two pal
aces, both noted, one the old, in which
were quartered COrteZ and his officers,
q building whose vast size excited the
admiration Of even the Spaniards them
selves used as they were to the vast
structures of the Moors of their day,
which still existed in Spain in all their
splendor
On the Zocalo. too. is the Cathedral
Of Mexico, the third largest church
building in the world, which occupied
100 years in building. On this public
square the common people believed for
long time that the ghost of the unfor-
tunate Aztec emperor, MOntezuma,
wandered at night lamenting the loss Of
empire and the destruction Of his peo.
pie. Even today the humber folk be.

A Bad Tooth.

II was toothache allied Door Jenkins,
and his jaw hummed night and
day
Like beehive In the orchard depth in
honey-making in May.
He tried everything 70 stop it that he'd
heard or read about,
But he didn't try the dentist-for he
wouldn't have it out
There it stayed, that hateful, twisting,
grinding torture in the jaw,
Like a grinning little demon with the
nerve clutched in his Daw.
Jenkins couldn't keep from bowling; he
would groan and curse and shout.
Till the neighbors thought him crazy
but he wouldn't have it out.
Jaw and cheek and tongue were peeling
from the stun that he applied.
And he couldn't sleep the imp of. for IL
woke him when he tried
He was sore and weak and wasted, and
his tooth jumped like a trout;
But he clenched his fists and bore it,
for he wouldn't have it out.
So he languished. wrenched and an
guished, FOR a fortnight black
with pain.
Then he rushed to find dentist-and
turned weakly back again.
Awful visions rose before him, filled his
trembling soul with doubt.
And he skunk back to his tormeut--for
he wouldn't have 1t out.
Deeper. blacker grew the anguish that
was eating uo his SOUL
Till his very life seemed ebbing through
that little, angry hole.
And the imp kept twisting, twisting,
with the bitter spite of gout,
Till poor Jenkins writhed and whim-
pered-but he wouldn't have il

Il will live It down." he muttered: and
he went his feeble way
Till the pain grew like a storm cloud,
blotting all the light of day.

just strength TO crawl about.

THE sERvIAN TRAGEDY.

The murder Of the King and Queen
of Servia. together with numerous
Minister'S and members Of the royal
family is the elimination Of series
Of intrigues and plots that have poi
soned the minds of the Servian people
and whetted their appetite for blood.
IL is tale so revolving that it reads
like a chapter taken from a sixteenth
century chronicle Whatever cause the
King had given for protest, he had
given none for unparalleled butchery,
and it remains to be seen whether the
conspirators viii be allowed TO prohi

There is every evidence TO show that
the crime had been long meditated. Tn,

edge that the pumping station closed

cause the supply in the basin was fall

can only lay up enough water to sup
ply the needs of the people for about
three days.
The water is in a bad condition, and
no relief is expected for several days.
A communication received at this Of
five from subscriber gives the inter-
esting information that i'm twenty-four
hours an eighth of an inch of solids
had settled in the bottom of a bucket
containing water taken from the pipes
early yesterday morning.
Nothing can be done by the Water
Department only to hope for more IA
vorable weather. With the building of
the new water plant conditions like the
present will have no effect upon the
supply, as there will be sufficient stor-
age capacity to insure clear water all

A fine old Pennsylvania passed out Of
public life when Galusha A. Grow retired
from Congress, which he had first entered
hfty-twO years before. and his fellow citi-
zens of Montrose have done themselves
honor in showing honor to him. When il IS
recalled that Mr.. Grow was Speaker Of
the House in the opening year of the Civil
War, end that he was the author OF the
Homestead bill. which opened the great
West to settlement, we can realize what "a
marvellous period Of history his public SER
vice spanned. He brought down to this
latter day the serious earnestness, the ex-
pansive ideality Of the politicians of a
former generation. He had nothing in
common with the sordid intrigue of the
present Pennsylvania machine, which toll

Radiealism VS.. Conservatism.

From the Nashville American.
George Fred williams, Of Massachusetts,.
who was at one time Democratic mem
ber Of Congress, but VINO has always been
an extremist, insists that the Democratic
party must become more radical or st
will go to the wall. He says; "The duty
and opportunity of the Democratic party
Is now. 81 seems to me, not only TO take no
backward step from the stand OF 1900, but
TO advance still further to meet the radical
demands Of the people. The voters will
not be satisfied with evasions and subter-
fuges."
The opinions of Mr.. Williams are not
worth much attention considered alone
but they are entertained by others who
call themselves Democrats. Not from any
honesty Of thought. not from any high and
noble purpose, do they insist that the
Democratic party should become even
more radical. Their idea IS that by be.

The Importance Of the election on
Saturday to choose a new school board
cannot be over-estimated. Recently
the work OF public education W this
city has been materially advanced,
higher standards have been set, and We
must not allow a retrograde movement.
There are persons, both in the teach
ing staff and elsewhere who would pre-
fer the free-and-easy methods such as
formerly prevailed, but modern eduoa-
ton is a serious problem, and to reach
the standards set by the age requires
industry on the part Of both teachers
and pupils. beginning with the lowest
grades. We have learned that there are
proper methods TO be applied to educa-
tion. just as in business. and as the
Board OF Education is the controlling
factor. Il Is most essential that honest

Pie and Puritanism.

From Life.
The decadence Of Puritanism is
chiefly due to various preparations of
sawdust being eaten for breakfast
throughout New England. instead of
the cold PIE, which was formerly the

meal there.
Cold pie eaten at breakfast gets in
its work while yet the nervous force
recruited by sleep, is largely unspent
The result is the fierce, aggressive
hatefulness that is the very life of
Puritanism.
But cold pie for lunch or dinner mere
ly brings on a gloomy and Drohtless
apathy. II might as well never be eat

with prearranged plan. and the pre-
tender Karageorgevitch. seems TO have
been awaiting the summons. It win be
a pertinent inquiry to ascertain just
how far the pretender was interested
in the plot. Accounts Of regicldes are
not pleasant reading to European mon
archs, and there may be a sequel which
will be more prosaic reading yet more
in keeping with the spirit Of this age.
II appears that the charge that King
Alexander used his office to arbitrarily
force intolerable burdens upon the
people, is a pretext The real motive
seems to have been hatred of Queen
Draga. Her family was obscure, and
the mobiles protested against the mar
riage. But the one pleasing feature of
this whole tragedy has been the deyO-
tion of Alexander TO his Queen. He
has repeatedly declared that no clamor
could shake his loyalty, and it is good
to note that he held to his course.
The King is reported to have said
that should his throne be menaced he
would defend Il at the head of his
faithful army. But, alasl it was that
army that broke into the palace and
left 1t shambles. This tragedy will
bring the question OF the government
Of the Balkan States before the Powers
again. They may patch up peace, or
it may be the beginning Of the trans

MILBURN'S LAMENT

When the police arrested :. Walter

know that they had somewhat OF a poet.
He was fined 81 and costs in the City
Court. After his fine had been paid he
went to the factory of the Kelley Soap
Company, where he is employed, and
scribbled off the following:
Boys behold, boys beware,
You cannot play around the square,
For playing ball it is a sin,
For some police win pull you in.
Mothers and fathers, please stop and
think,
You are driving your own little ones to
drink;
That's why so many have gone to ruin,
No place to go but beer saloons.
You cannot stand on the street to talk,
Before a cop says Take a walk"
And if you dare to look at him,
Beware he doesn't pull you in.

by another emDloye.
