NO MORE REVOLUTIONS.
The People of Mexico Have BecOme
Good Citizens of IA Progress
ing Republic.

There will never be any more revolu-
lions in Mexico" said prominent Mex
lean recently, according to the Kansas
City Journal. This condition is due in
part to the better education of the PEG
pie and to their prosperity, part TO the
vast interests of the Americans in Mex
leo and the consequent fact that the
Americans will not allow trouble there
even to the extent, we believe, OF the
United States government intervening
in case of a revolution. But the main
reason why there will be no more rev.
olutions in Mexico is found in the iron
rule of President Diaz. He has made the
government stable. and he has gained
control there so absolute that he is not
only supreme, but will be able to place
his successor in as sure a position as he
has himself.
The Mexico of now and of the days
before Diaz became president are diff
ferent propositions. twas dull month
that did not bring a rumor OF an in
surrection and year without war was
a blank on the calendar. The Mexican
people are emerging from the Latin
habit of being against everything. The
example set them by the peple OF the
United States is having its effect in bet
ter conduct and more provident manner
of living
THE people of Mexico are more free
than they were. and they are more pros
porous than ever They have become
good citizens of republic. In the very
nature of things it has require years to
bring this condition about and the result
is worth the effort of President Diaz and
the life that he has devoted to it, The
system of peonage is going out. There
are few Mexican labOrers on the
haciendas now who are in a position
that is tantamount to chattel ownership
on the part of the employer. 1t was a
debt system. that under laws allowed
the transfer of the peon to another
employer without the consent of the
former The laws have been modified
now, and the custom has about gone out
| The common labOrer of Mexico is in bet
ter condition than he ever dreamed of
becoming.

THIRTEEN AT TABLE.

gentleman departure. Everything was
in tirst-class shape, speeches were made
and bouquets of compliments thrown all
over the guest when along towards the
close of the little dinner some one dis
covered that there were only 13 persons
sitting at the table. Instead of keeping
this remarkable revelation to himself,
he cried out: Hello! there's only -
here. That's bad luck. Some one of us
will die within a year
Strange to say, this remark threw a
pail over the party. The guest of the
evening was considerably disconnected.
and to remedy the evil the proprietor of
the restaurant was called on to swell the
number at the table to a. But every

Two Sunsets n Day.

There is only one place in the world
where the sun sets twice daily, and that
is at Leek, in Staffordshire. The reason
of this is that jagged mountain is sit
uated to the west of the town, and in the
evening the sun sets behind it and dark
ness comes on. Then is the first sunset,
the gas lamps are lit, and apparently
night has set in. But it has not, for in
the space of an hour or so the sun reap
pears again through the opening at the
side of the mountain and daylight again
appears. Artificial lights are extin-
guished and daylight again prevails until
the sun descen6s below the opening and
the second sunset follows and night
comes 10 stay.
