Dangerous Mexican Weed to Smoke

Manuel Guerrero and Florencio Pine
had the ''m"arihuana' habit, and for
the last few weeks had been smoking
big cigarettes in which tobacco was
mixed with the dangerous weed.
Tuesday afternoon the two men
smoked cigarettes composed OF to.
bacco in smaller proportion than mari
huana, and after a few minutes ran
amuck.
They went out into the street shout
ing, vociferating and attacking every.
body. First they marched hand In
hand, declaring that they were the
bravest men on earth and would kill
anybody who dared to say a word to
the contrary, but at last Pine declared
that he was still drawer than his
friend, and a fight followed, the two
receiving dangerous wounds.
They were captured and sent to the
hospital, where they had to be put into
straightjackets. 1t Is feared that the
two men, il they recover from their
wounds, will lose their minds perma-
nently, as is often the case with mari
huana smokers.-Mexican Herald.

Ambitious to pose as a Wall Street

n enormous load of stocks, and the
success of his ventures had given
him the following which ever attends
the leader in a rising market. In ad-
dition to this speculative risk, Nor.
ris had secured several valuable
franchises. and was confidently in
expectation of others at the hands of

leader suggested that each one should

The last one to speak was a lad,
who said with a little hesitation that
he read the first chapter Of Genesis
more than any others.
A look Of surprise and curiosity
was manifest in all the listeners, as
he went on to give his reason:
