Why No 5 Mexico?

Forty-eight hours of travel will take
you from the cold clustering Northern
winter to land of sunshine and flowers
What Egypt and India are to the old
world, Mexico is to the new. "a land
of white sunshine, redolent with towers
a land of gay costumes, crumbling
churches, and old converts, land of
kindly greetings, of extreme courtesy,
of open, broad hospitality. 1t was
more than enough to reveal in an
Italian sun, lighting up semi-tropical
land; to look up to white-capped peaks
towering into blue; to look down upon
wind-swept plains, encircled by ragged
chains of mountains; and to relize that
today, in its varied scenery costumes
architecture, street life, canals crowd
ed with flowerladen boats, market
places thronged, with gaily dressed
natives, faded church interiors, and
abaneoned converts, Mexico is the most
marvelously picturesque country nnder
the sun. A tropical Venice; semi
barbarous Spain; A new Holy Land. !"

Sample Of Tragedies Now Being
Enacted ins the East.
It was 10 o'clock in the morning
when we saw coming out from their
hiding places a small band of Russian
soldiers. writes Japanese Magazine.
That was the beginning Of the fierce
onslaught. 1t was as If somebody had
revived In this civilized day of ours
the scenes from the old story books,
when swords, spears, bows and ar
rows were the only weapons of war.
and men slashed away at each other.
1t was just at this time that we saw a
Russian officer rise from the ranks,
and lsaping over the dead bodies of
his men and comrades and putting
himself at the head Of the ranks. try
by his daring example to revive the
spirits of his men. Against the lurid
background of blood and fire he made
& superb figure, always rushing in
front OF his men. his sword cleaning
ever over the leads Of the fighting
men.
At last this officer rushed out, call.
ing always and loudly upon his men
to follow. When he was within q
few feet Of our men he turned his
head to see whether his men were
oteying his order. Instead Of follow
ing at his heels his soldiers were
trampling upon each other in the
mad effort to run away. The sight
broke his heart, evidently. He turned
the point of his sword he had held
against himself. An instant later he
fell with his heart pierced through.

Can the Tree BE DESTROYED?

Greenwood, April I6.-A case Of I'M
usual interest has arisen here involv-
ing the right OF a town council to cut
down trees situated or property be-
longing to private citizens, but where
such property is, and has been, used
as a sidewalk. A few days ago the
town council of Greenwood ordered
the street overseer to cut down a tree
sanding in the middle of a sidewalk
adjoining the premises Of DR.. R. B.
Epting. The land really belongs to
DR.. Epting, but has been used for
some years as a sidewalk. Remon-
strances failing to stop the proceed
ings to mutilate, cut down and de-
stroy said tree, Dr.. Epting, through
Messrs. McGhee & Richardson, attor-
neys, secured yesterday from Asso-
ciate Justice Eugene B. Gary at
chambers at Abbeville an order re-
straining the town council from
further attempts to cut down the
tree. The order is temporary and
will be argued at Abbeville on the
18TH inst.

All went we'll that day. But the
following morning when the couple
came down to breakfast the staring
was worse than ever. Chambermaids
in the hall snickered; the clerks be-
hind the desk nudged each other; ev-
erybody in the dining-room stared.
When the couple returned to their
room it was only to see a head stick
ing out of nearly every room down
the long hall.
This was too much. This was the
limit!
Angered beyond control, the groom
went to the desk and called for the
head-waiter.

groom, didn't I give you two dol
lars to protect my wife and myself
from this staring business?"
