PEOPLE OF GUATEMALA.
The Descendants of the Toltecs Lead
 an Easy Life.

Nevn o. Winter in The Pilgrim.
 These brown-skinned sons of southern sun, descendants of the ancient Toltecs, are an interesting race. Dressed in their scanty garb, which is generally clean they loll away life. baslsing in the sun when 1t Is cool. and hiding from the same when 1t is hot. They may breakfast on a cup of coffee and dine on a banana. yet among themselves they are always happy and laugh like grown-up children. Why should they work much? Fruit Is plentiful, game is abundant. pigs and chickens need little care, and kind nature rewards every effort to cultivate her soil. In this climate wants are few. The latest fashions have no temptation. the woods and jungle furnish material for their thatch and reed cottages, and the nor row can take care of itself
 To stand by the side of a main road leading into a town on the principal mar ket day, is a panorama that never loses interest Men and women come into the city marching down the middle of the road in Indian file-the men with great loads on their backs, and the women with baskets on their heads, niled with

ESCAPADE AT GETTYSBURG
BY p. M. VANCE.

4 T THE close of the third days fight "A ing at Gettysburg, night beginning
 to come on, we received orders to fall back. During the three days fight ing we had marched and counter-marched until had worn out my shoes and my feet were cut so badly by the rocks that was completely hors de combat, and not able to go any further. My comrades, noticing my condition, were loath to leave me to be captured. so they hurriedly set about to devise some way to help me along with them. The present comman- der of Camp Hardee being present, hap pened to espy loose United States army horse between the picket lines. He made a dash for the horse, and, being near enough to him, nabbed him by the halter that was around his neck and led him out to our line through a shower of bui- lets from the Federal pickets.
 Then I was assisted in mounting the horse. Without saddle or bride, l urged him forward. I soon discovered that he had been shot in the hind leg and trav- eled badly. It was dark and raining as we journeyed along the mountain road. The animal would stumble over the rocks

and spatter a shower of soft mud over the boys in front causing them to be- come enraged. They threatened to dis mount me and kill my transporter. but I rode him all night, entering into a beau- tiful and fertile valley at the dawn of day.
 Here We were halted and ordered to rest Soon fires were made from near by fence by which we dried out clothes. But there was something wanting; we had nothing to eat. We were as hungry as wolves. A vote was taken on killing my old charger. The soldiers having it in for him as a mud splasher, the vote was unanimous for killing, which was done.
 Taking the hide from the carcass the boys soon had strips of flesh attached to their ramrods and broiling at the fires. Soon there was nothing left of the old horse except his head and hoofs The after-effects of that feast were long re- membered. When I looked at a horse felt like lying down and rolling over. My hair shed every spring. and of late years the greater part has stayed shed. Thank God I still have the vitality of the old war horse.
 Did the Confederate soldiers at differ ent times subsist on horse flesh? I an- swer, Yes.

WHOSE FAULT.

We are sick and tired of going to the
Denison Opera House only to have what
ever of good there may chance to be spoil
ed by the giggling and chattering of the
boys in the gallery or by the shouts of
some drunken man. We are also sick and
tired of putting the blame on the boys and
the DRINKS. Happily boys will be boys,
and unhappily DRINKS will be DRINKS.
Either the opera house management is at
fault in not providing sufficient police pro-
lection to stop the noise or the police en-
ployed are inefficient.
No person showing signs of intoxication
should be admitted. The reputable peo-
pie who pay their way are entitled to this
protection. AS for the boys, let them un-
derstand that the management means bus
mess and they will behave.
We can understand how occasionally a
drunken man may pass the doors unno
ticed. But when discovered he should be
hustled out on short notice. Again, as TO,
the boys, we we're one of that much to en-.
WED class once upon time and we know
that they can tell in an instant whether {
rule is made to be enforced or whether it.
violation is to be winked at.

BLIND BOONE BUM.

With the exception of one or two num-
bers the Blind Boone concert was de-
cided disappointment. Boone can play;
he has marvellous touch and fine tech
nique, but he cannot sing little bit, and
his rendition of coon songs was beneath
his dignity as a musician and much below
concert hall par. A scratchy soprano
acted as his accomplish in several atroci-
ties. and the whole show was presided
over by toothless genius who mumbled
away between numbers like an inspired
idiot and looked like cross between a
clothes horse and baboon. Verify Blind

The crusade against impure food prepa-

NEWSPAPER ETHICS.

Some time ago the Review reprinted
an article from the Register and Leader
in which attention was called to firm of
advertisers said to be exploiting country
newspapers and county advertisers. THE
REVIEW stated that it hoped the item had
no reference to the firm operating through
the Denison Bulletin. 1t seems that the
firm operating through the Bulletin took
insulting letter to the REVIEW, copy of
which letter was evidently sent the Bull
letin for that paper published it with the
polite comment that the editor of the
REVIEW malignant and malicious
liar, who was trying to hurt the business
of the Bulletin and of the highly
meritorious advertising company with
which the Bulletin was cooperating.
Last week the Bulletin published the
directory of sixty-dve firms doing bust
ness in Crawford county. We do not
know the terms of the contracts made with
the advertisers but it would appear from
the Bulletins own weak apology that the
the advertisers we're done to a FRAGILE
1t is our belief that if any fraud has been
perpetrated the Bulletin is particeps
c1i1ti1ais to the extent that it is the duty
OF any reputable advertising medium to
protect its customers from schemes that
are without merit or from over-charge.
The Bulletin editor is too canny business
man not to have known what he was
getting in to. THE REVIEW does not
know that anyone has been feeced, but
we reprint the Bulletin article in which it
attempts like Pontius Plate 10 wash its
hands of the whole business. The Bull.
letin says:
One page OF this issue of the Bulletin is
devoted to the Business Directory of
Cra@ ford County" recently gotten up by
the Houck-McIver Advertising Co of
Chicago. This directory is used in ac-
cordance with the copy furnished us by
the company who collected all the pay for
the advertisements contained therein
The fact that there are but 62 firms
represented there makes it hardly what it
claims to be-a business directory to the
county-for there are twenty times that
many good business firms in the county
We desire to explain to those interested
that when we sold page of space to this
company we did not know what they were
going to use it for. and their scheme OF
soliciting among our own friends and
patrons for advertisements to fill the space
was not known to US until after the con-
tract was made. and even then we did moi
know what they were going to charge for
representation in it. The fact that we
warned all Concerned two weeks before
the agents canvassed that it was none o.
the Bulletins affair. and that we did no
vouch for the reliability Of the company
and would not be responsible fol
promises they might make. did not deter
the agents from collecting quite sum o
money for the page here printed We
now simply fill our part of the contrac
with the company, as we would with an,
advertising company, and this ends ou
responsibility in the matter.
