LIKE AN UNBLAZED TRAIL.
Intricate Plea at the Bar of Justice
That Was Too Deep for
the Judge.

Soon after the late Gilman Marston, of
New Hampshire, had been admitted to
the bar civil suit was brought to him.
1t involved a somewhat complicated ques-
ton of inheritance, says the Boston Her
aid. But the young man, in no way
daunted, took the case, looked up author
tiles ali the way back to Julius Caesar,
and prepared an argument of a few hun
dred pages which seemed to him unan-
swerable. His only fear was that it
might be beyond the comprehension of
the court.
When his case was called Mr.. Marston
rose with inward assurance and plunged
in boldly. The judge seemed interested
and he took heart. But at the end Of
an hour and a half in the midst of the
most intricate part Of his plea, he was
panied to see what looked like a lack of
attention on the part of the court
1t was as he had feared; the Judge
was unable to appreciate the nice points
of his argument
"Your honor" he SAID, 81 beg your par
don, but do you follow me?"
81 have so far answered the Judge,
shifting YEARLY about in his chair, "but
I'll say frankly that if | thought | could
find my way back, I'd quit right here"

THE REBOZOS OF MEXICO
Fine Article of Apparel Made by
Men Who Do Excellent
Needlework.

F. w. Schreiba of the City of Mexi-
co, here on his way 10 Europe gave an
interesting account Of the manufacture
Of silk shawls. known as rebozos, in
which industry he is largely engaged.
He predicted, says the New York
Sun. that the Mexican silk shawls
would soon come into general use
among wealthy women of the United
States. They have long been in use
among ladies of Mexico.
THE silk rebozos which l manufac-
ture are about seven feet long and
three feet wide," he said They are
the headwear for all occasions in the
southern part Of Mexico and especial
ly in Yucatan.
"Most of the women think that to
be without a good silk rebozo is very
much like giving an open declaration
that they do not amount to much in
social circles. The rahozo is apprcpri-
ate for everything from a funeral to
a festival, and one will last woman
nearly lifetime. A good one costs
$2S N Mexican money.
THE most popular colors are black
and white. white and green and pink
and black. A great many cotton and
mixed ShaWlS are now being manufac-
tured, but no matter how we'll the
work Of weaving the mixed materials
is done, or how fine the grades of cot
ton used, the commOnest Mexican can
detect the difference We import all
of the silk from Janan
There are six or seven factories in
San Luis POtOsi and the surrounding
country. They dye it and make it into
the finest sewing silk the natives can
handle. and these can work with what
an American woman could not see.
The thread is sold to the natives.
and entire families who live near the
factories do nothing but make shawls.
It seems rather peculiar to see a man
quit farm work to 90 the finest and
most difficult needlework. but they do
it. The average family can make two
dollars a day, Mexican money, with
every member working.
"In the factories there are frames
on which four men work on a shawl
at the same time. One frame will
turn cut ten shaw1s IN a week. There
is considerable trade with American
tourists now carried on in Mexico. The
tourists buy the rebozos as curios.'

COETHE'S CANAL PROPHECY
Poets Views Concerning an Isthmian
Canal Which Are to Be
Realized

In February, 1927, Goethe, in CONVEX
satiOn with his secretary, Eckermann,
in speaking of the canal which might
some day be put through the Isthmus of
Panama, said:
''All this is reserved for the future
and for an enterprising spirit. So much,
however, is certain, that if they succeed
in cutting such a canal, that ships of
any size and burden can be navigated
through it from the Mexican gulf to the
Pacific ocean, innumerable benefits
would result to the whole human race,
ciilized and uncivilized. But l should
wonder if the United States were to let
an opportunity escape of getting such
work into their own hands 1t may be
foreseen that this young state, with it's
decided predilectian to the west, will in
80 or 40 years have occupied and peOpled
the large tract of land beyond the Rocky
mountains. 1t may, furthermore, be
fOreseen that along the whole coast of
the Pacific ocean, where nature has al
ready formed the most capacious and Sc
cure harbOrs, important commercial
towns will gradually arise, for the fur
therance of great watercourse between
China and the East Indies and the Unit
ed States. In such case it would not
only be desirable but also necessary that
more rapid communication should be
maintained between the eastern and
western shores of North America. both
by merchant ships and men-of-war, than
has hitherto been possessed with the to-
dlOus, disagreeable and expensive voy-
age round Cape Horn. l therefore re-
peat that it is absolutely indispensable
Tor the United States to effect passage
from the Mexican gulf to the Pacific
ocean, and l am certain that they will
do It, Would that might live to see an
ether thing-a junction of the Danube
and the Rhine. But this undertaking
is SO gigantic that I have doubts of it's
completion, when l consider our Ger
man resources. And, thirdly and last
ly, : should wish to see England in
possession of a canal through the
lsthmus Of Suez. Would l could live
to see these three great works 1t
would be we'll worth the trouble to last
some so years more for the very pur-
pose.''
A few years before this, states the
Boston Transcript. we find Lord Byron
between whom and Goethe there was
an intellectual affinity. making the &C
quaintance of young North" Ameri-
can for the reason that he wished to
know what manner OF men the rulers
of the world a hundred years thence
would be. In less than a hundred years
we see the United States a great Pa
cific power and clearing the way for
the completion of the canal; England
is in possession of the Suez canal, and
the great peace conference successful
1y held at Portsmouth. GOethes fore
sight is admirable. 1t may be remem-
bered that Napoleon sold Louisiana to
the United States in order to raise up
a maritime power which should eclipse
Great Britain. We certainly have ac-
quired plenty of ocean, but we need
more ships for commerce and to send
through the canal when it is built.

make you irritable; you can't sleep,
you are unable to quietly and calmly
perform your daily tasks or care for
your children.
The relation of the nerves and gen.
erative organs in women is so close
that -tenths of the nervous pros
tration, nervous debility, the blues,
sleeplessness and nervous irritability
arise from some arrangement of the
organism which makes her a woman.
Fits of depression OR restlessness and
irritability. Spirits easily affected. so
that one minute she laughs, the next
minute weeps. Pain in the ovaries and
between the shoulders. Loss of voice;
nervous dyspepsia. A tendency to cry
at the least provocation. ALI this points
to nervous prostration.
Nothing will relieve this distressing
condition and prevent months of pros
tration and suffering so surely as Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Mrs. M. E. Shotwell, of 1Oa Flatbush
Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y, writes:
81 cannot express the wonderful relief
have experienced by taking Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. suffered for
q long time with nervous prostration, back
not sleep and would walk the floor almost
every night
II had three doctors and got no better, and
life was a burden. I was advised to try
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
and it has worked wonders for me.
81 am well woman, my nervousness is all
gone and my friends say look ten years
younger"
Will not the volumes of letters from
women made strong by Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound convince
all women of its virtues? Surely you
cannot wish to remain sick and weak
and discouraged, exhausted each day,
when you can be as easily cured as
other women.
