BEAUTIFUL PEoN GIRLS.
shapeIy Forms and Sracefulness OF
the Mexican Descendants
of the Aztecs.

The real beauty of the Mexican peo-
pie is found in the young women
among the more intelligent poems
They have inherited the fine teeth, the
1.-THE forms, the shapely necks and
above all, the easy carriage of their
Aztec ancestors. Their hair is not tor
tured by the hot curling irons, their
gait has not been made artificial by
Partisan shoes. Ireir waists have
never been pinched by c-,rsets and they
have found grace and vigorous health
out in the glorious sunshine of Mex
leo. Here and there bar efoot, ragged
peon girl may be seen whose beauty
would be remarked upon in almost any
American assemblage, says writer in
the Chicago Chronicle.
Unfortunately they blossom early
At 20 the apricot pink o. their cheeks
becomes dull brown, their 1.-THE figures
become fat and pudgy and at 80 they
are bent and lined
The peon families are always inor-
dinately large. Seldom does a peon
girl pass her fifteenth year without hel
marriage, and there are many In
stances of 13-ye-r-old mothers IN the
land. A host of Mexican women are
grandmothers at 80 and great-grand-
mothers at so. The high-class senior
itas marry from II to %.
Mexican senoras look with horror
on the freedom of American women
The life of a senorita is thoroughly un-
like that of her American sister. When
she is little she is carried in the arms
of a black-shawled nurse, good ma
tured and not overclean. She wears
wonderful caps of lace and colored
silks and false slip, long and flowing
of the same material over her baby
clothes. When she is little older she
is laced into long. stiff stays and sent
to the convent, and at early night she
walks with her duenna in the plaza
and begins to think about a novio, OF
betrothed.
The novio is thenceforth the one aim
and interest of her life. She first
knows that he is likely to become such
because he has stared her out of coun-
tenance wehnever she has come upon
him in the streets and has turned
squarely about on the sidewalk and
ners and a mark of proper apprecia-
ton of her charms. Then he is always
to be found in the plaza when she goes
driving. She is never alone. A duenna
has her and her sisters always in view
until her marriage, when she becomes
a sonora. Dressed all in black like
pretty penitents, the senoritas of each
family hurry through the streets, a
duenna in close attendance, to a mass
so early that it seems like night. Their
black shawls, of delicate, crapelike
texture, shade their faces. They are
scarcely seen on the streets again until
the fashionable cavalcade on the Paseo
begins to sweep its brilliant length
around and around the drive. The
garments are gay now, brilliantly col
ored, Partisan in design.

Very Effective.

There is an elderly man in the city
who, like many others, is so good
natured that it requires considerable
effort to bring him to the point of do
ing anything for his own house. There
are a number of things that he always
has on the programme to do, but never
quite gets to the point of doing The
family decided this summer that sew
eral of the window screens had SO
many holes in them that they must be
replaced, but the weeks have gone by,
and the old screens still do service.
The mistress of the house was heard
demonstrating with her husband one
day this week.
John" she said, what's the use
of those screens, any way? There
might just as well be none at all,
there are so many holes in them"
NO" said John, plausibly, these
screens are all right. There are SO
many holes that it confuses the flies.
I've seen flies that couldn't tell
whether they were in or out, they be-
same so confused with that screen"

THE Due Season OF Reaping-It is
i the fullness of Gods time. Did you
ever realize what this meant? Over and
over again is this expression used in
Gods Word as referring to the operation
of the Divine will and purpose. Man
plumbers, but God never. Man spells by
too early or too late reaping, but God
always thrusts in the sickle at the right
time The due season of reaping is re-
allied when there is patient waiting upon
God. In the fullness Of time God sent
His Son into the world. In the fullness
of time Christ was offered upon the cross
as a sacrifice for sin. In the fullness of
time He rose from the grave and ascend
ed into Heaven; and in the fullness of
time the Holy Spirit descended and filed
the waiting disciples. God always acts
with precision. This ought to cheer and
encourage the heart of the Christian
whose well doing is doing the will of
God. No anxiety and worry because
the day of reaping does not come.
I'm due season we shall reap" God
says, and we can afford to wait. The
farmer does not set the day of harvest
in the springtime after he has planted
his crop. He tends and cultivates the
field and waits. Nature may bring an
early harvest, or she may delay the ma
turing of the grain so that the day of
reaping is a matter of great uncertainty,
but all the farmer can do is wait until
the right time has come, then the sound
of the reaper and the thrasher is heard.
Gods promise Of reaping in due season

'Peruna is fine medicine to take any
time of the year, but have found it es-
pecially helpful to withstand the wear

Peruna is frequently used as a mitiga-
ton of the effects of hot weather. What
a bath is to the skin, Peruna is to the
mucous membranes. Bathing keeps the
skin healthy, Peruna makes the mu-
cous membranes clean and healthy.
With the skin and mucous membranes
in good working order, hot weather can
be withstood with very little suffering.
Frequent bathing with an occasional
use of Peruna is sure to mitigate the

THE SPIRIT, NOT THE ACT.

The Lexington Leader takes o posi-
ton similar to ours in commenting on
that portion of the Kentucky press
that attempts to apologize for the law
lessness in Bresthitt county, by call
ing attention to the violations Of law
in other places. These papers seem to
lose sight of the fact that communi-
ty may have a great many violations
of the law without being entitled
to the accusation Of being lawleSs. 1t
is the spirit of this people more than
the overt acts themselves which go to
show the predominating influences in
8 place. Says the Leader:
1.-The favorite answer Of apologize
Kentucky editors to outside critics Of
out feudal lawlessness is that other
states have their criminals and law
breakers, etc., etc., but they overlook
the important difference that Ken
lucky isslone IN its official encourage
ment and protection Of murder and
murderers.
at is not customary in most states
for county judges and sheriffs to be
the very leaders of feudsl bands and
to be surrounded by redhanded retain
ers ready to assassinate political and
personal enemies from the windows
and corridors of court houses; courts
are not usually conducted in the inter
est Of assassins and their feudal mas
tiers, and governors are not generally
ready to pardon murderers and out
laws with free hand to recruit feu-
DIAL bands.
"In other states it is often necessa
~ to call out military forces to pro
tect criminals awaiting trial from tht
wrath Of an outraged people, but il
has remained for Kentucky alone Il
achieve the distinction OF requirin,
troops to protect the lives of witnesse
and jurors from the rage of efticia

too frequent crimes, but thoughtful
