CHIVALRY OF THE MEXICAN
Even the Officer of the Law Refrains
from Violence Toward the
Weaker Sex.

She was an old bag. Her face was
wrinkled with the scars of dissipation,
and her claw-like fingers would have
been envied by the one whose lot it is
to play the witch's part, says the Mex
lean Herald. Her gray hair fell over
her shoulders in wet and stringy
tangle, while the few rags she wore
completed the picture of misfortune
She was drunk and foully abusive, but
the policeman who found her on indie
pendencia street saw beneath all dis
guises the evidence that she was a
woman, and that to him was enough to
guarantee her the courtliest protection
he could give and yet perform his duty.
He placed her under arrest and told
her to accompany him to the Sixth
comisaria. She refused to go, prob
ably not so much because it meant go
ing to Jail as because she was unable
to comprehend why he should want her
to go any place. AS he argued with
her small crowd collected and the in
furiated old woman cursed and spit at
the bystanders for their curiosity.
Some suggested to the officer that he
forcibly take her to the station. But
in the wrinkles that filled her face and
the long bony fingers and stopped form
he recognized the evidences of a life
in which much toll must have been
mingled with the vices to which she
was evidently now the slave. He re-
fused, and for ten minutes argued with
the woman, but his only responses
were curses and threats.
Then this uniformed representative
of the law with club at his side and
revolver in his belt, and a strength
enough to carry her the block that
separated them from the station, paic
tribute to the sex of this crazed crea.
ture of the streets. He told her he haG
an appointment up the street, but thai
unless she would accompany him 4
would be impossible for him to keel
it. This seemed to appeal to her, anC
she took the offered arm of the mar
she had accepted as an escort, and The
two marched slowly down the street.

NOVEL RECRUITING METHOD
Laborers for Queensland Sugar Fields
Attracted by Photograph and
Stereopticon.


Thousands of the natives of Polynesia
are needed to work on the sugar and 9TH
er plantations of Queensland. These
plantations are in the low coast regions;
and as the climate is tropical, white la
Dor is not successful, says the New York
Sun.
Fer many years sailing vessels have
been visiting the islands to recruit Ka-
nakas for the Queensland plantations
The trade gave rise to abuses which have
been suppressed by law, but the natives
are not now so eager to emigrate as for
merly, and it is hard work to fill the YES
sells.
A sea captain of the Kanaka trade has
introduced new method of making en-
igration attractive. Before he sailed
from Queensland year ago he visited
number of the plantations where South
Sea islanders are employed.
He had a camera and a photograph.
Going from one plantation to another he
photographed groups of natives and also
took individual pictures of well known
fellows from the New Hebrides, Solo
mon and other groups.
Then he brought the monograph into
service. The best known natives, who
had large acquaintance in the islands,
were induced to talk into the instrument
and tell their friends the kind of life
they led IN Australia, and how they were
getting along on the plantations.
These Photographed letters were OBJ
tanned from Kanakas who formerly lived
in about dozen of the islands which the
recruiting vessels are in the habit of vis-
iting. Then the ingenious shipmaster
had his photographs turned into lantern
slides, and off he sailed for the islands,
we'll equipped to astonish the natives.
According to Queensland newspaper
the scheme has been great success. The
captain had an ample supply of lantern
slides showing emigrants from each of
the islands he visited
Everybody was on hand to see the
show and the natives were beside them
selves with delight when they saw the
well known visages of their friends and
acquaintance thrown upon the screen.
But the greatest wonder was when each
picture actually talked to the crowd in
| the very tones and accents which many
| Of the auditors connected with the man
upon whose face they were gazing
The man sent them greetings from his
| plantation home 900 miles away. He
told them he was doing well, that he
liked the life and that Queensland was
good place to come to. He talked about
the country, the money he earned, and
the good treatment he received.
Pictures were shown of the huts occu-
pied by the emigrants, the fields they
worked in. and groups of laborers whose
sleep appearance and smiling faces
seemed to show that they were enjoying
life.
The result is that the stereopticon
andp Monograph have proved to be valu-
able recruiting agents. Even the natives
who have had the worst misgivings
about emigration become enthusiastic
converts to the idea when they see their
friends actually before them and hear
their well known voices.
The captain had no difficulty in making
up load, and other captains engaged in
the Kanaka trade say they are going to
employ the same expedient,

the syndicate which carried through

the weak aldermen who might not
stand under fire. this quartette of

And this leads me to comment on one
Of the impossible reforms demanded
increasingly in every large city; the
reform commonly known as running
the city hall on business methods" The
cry is frequently heard that the admin
istrative Offices of city can be con-
Quoted on lines and according to meth
DDS followed by private business
houses. | venture the assertion that
this is not possible. There is no doubt
that city employees can be compelled to
be more business-like than some Of
them are; that they can be made to
work longer hours, and that they can
be forced to perform their duties with
more diligence and energy.
But when it comes to putting into
effect the discipline and systematic
methods observed in well regulated
business houses, must differ from the
critics. A city government is huge
concern, which changes it's head every
few years. No man has ever been
mayor long enough to impress his per-
sonality on every city employe or to
put into effect his own ways and meth
eds of conducting business. If he has
! had a successful business career he
achieved that success by years of self
sacrifice and persistent energy. He
built up his business, selecting his own
material and surrounding himself with
associates and employees which through
the process of elimination proved the
correctness of the theory of the sur
vival of the fittest. He dealt with a
certain class of customers; he knew
their wbims, their needs, their charac-
teristics. He developed into a special
list.
When he became mayor he found
| himself at the head of concern whose
customers formed the great, heterogen-
eous public. Instead of selecting his
employees they were picked out for him.
The short term of his Office made it
physically impossible for him to learn
in thorough detail this new and strange
business, no matter how earnestly he
studied. Where before he had been
dealing with one class, he now had to
deal with all kinds and conditions of
classes. But above all he found him
self joined to an independent partner,
the board of aldermen, and this partner
had the authority to command him to
spend money as it saw fit.
If strong man were elected mayor
for life and given autocratic power he
could, in the course of years, place the
administrative offices of a city gov
eminent on strictly business" foot
ing, and he would be the most unpopu-
lar man in the city.
