Why Not See Mexieo7


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. IA 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. It was
more than a 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 fowerladen 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; A semi
barbarous Spain; A new Holy Land.

in open mouthed admiration. paying
the tribute the real Southern gentle
man pays to beautiful women wher-

watched. Three times the lady turned

This was too much for Col. Billups-
He moved across to the seat where
the man was sitting. They rode. for

Salmon Damned Stream.

A heavy fall of snow in Scotland a
few weeks ago caused the River Tay
to rise suddenly. One of the big
dams in the stream overfowed with
the result that the salmon lying in the
numerous pools at once made rush
to get higher up the stream. A work
man. engaged in carting stones from
the bed of the river. was astonished at
the moving mass CT salmon passing.
So phenomenal was the shoal that the
carter deemed it wise to stop his
charge in the middle Of the ford to
allow the fish to pass. The salmon
swan like lightning through the
wheels of the cart and around the
horses legs. In the space OF few
minutes several hundreds passed this

Benny on the Crocodile.

The crocodile is large animal that
inhabits the Nile and loves to go on
the sandy beach to bask in the sun
shine and lay eggs. 1t looks some
like a dachshund. only there is more
OF it at the ends and it is bigger.
There was a crocodile once that es-
capped from a circus. It roamed DER
the country. seeking in vain for pigs
and small children to devour. and
died of starvation in great anguish.
You can ride on the back Of a croco-
die, but it is more comfortable to
use a saddle. 1t is usually quiet, but
is terrible when reused. We all ought
to be thankful we are not a crocodile.
