Mexican Indians.


from h1oCefu mexico
The simple minded, patient, docile Indian
of Mexico is eminently peaceful. Bountifu
nature and perpetual summer combine to
palliate his improvidence. He cannot see
the necessity of laying up anything for
rainy day. 1t rains half the days in Mex
ico anyhow, but that only makes the man
goes grow larger and cheaper. If he has no
tortilas today, some of his neighbors have
and they will gladly share, for conditions
may be reversed tomorrow.
These Mexican Indians make the best and
the poorest servants in the world Their
greatest charm from this standpoint is
their perfect appreciation of their position.
Always polite, never presuming, with hat
in hand, it is always your servant and
with your permission" In the household
they ask half holiday once fortnight
with never word of complaint when work.
ing hours last from daylight to midnight.
,Hhe Mexican Indian does not want to
fight. All he asks is to be let alone. His
politeness and affectlonate nature are in
born. His love for children is particularly
marked. 1t is common sight to see Ia
borer in the street with but two pieces Of
white cotton clothing to his back, or his
name, stop woman with a baby in her
arms, and holding the child's face between
both his hands deliver a resoundng smack
and chuck it under the chin. And in the
same unconscious and entirely unaffected
manner will young man take his sombre-
TO from his head and reverently kiss the
hand of some ancient relative in tattered
dress when he encounters her in the crowd
ed thoroughfare.

geon. whose last practice had been in WIds
mes and who presented himself for pubic
examination. He had practiced in Pereia,
East and South Africa, he said, and In the
summer of 1903 he went to Widnes, where
he obtained employment in a foundry az n
laborer. Suffering from ague three times =
week regularly he felt himself to be en-
tirely broken down in health and unfit To-
practice. Moreover, he thought physical
labor was the best thing he could go on
with for a time.
How he emerged from the laborer's stata
was also a remarkable story. An accident
had happened at the works in which p
mans arm was broken. The bankrupt came
forward and set the limb in such style
that when the injured man was taken u
the hospital it was discovered that a pra6-
ticed hand had been at work Inquiries
were made, with the result that the bank
rupt who had worked at the foundry undeN

Dinner.
From the Louisville Courier-Journal

From the Louisville Courier Journal
Dinner, as physicians and laymen agree,
should not consist of the pound Of beef and
quart of coffee the condemned murderer
swallows upon the eve of his hanging to rob
death of its sting and the grave Of its vic
tory. plate of soup, piece of steak, a
fish or fowl, with salad, some vege-
tables. a dessert and coffee, constitute the
dinner of considerations variety. Patri-
archs tell US that such dinner was once
obtainable in San Francisco and in New
York, and at intermediate points, at prices
not prohibitive to the man of moderate in
come, but such meal ordered la carte
in our medern restaurants is too expensive
for the majority Of patrons and too large a
dinner for one man to consume. The
trouble is that each portion is too large
The existing arrangement of portions
and prices causes us to eat too much meat
and die of kidney disease, or too few vege-
tables and die OF indigestion with it's vari-
GUS and tragic ramifications. Our alterna-
tive is to court lingering death at the mod

Work and Fatigue.

From the Paris Revue.
What fatigues the motive power is get

and the field OF consciousness restricted to
a single object, the brain works without
exhausting itself. Let US apply ourselves
for a good time to whatever we do, and
have several hours of sustained labor. BY

When a member of congress draws
mileage he must have been seen in the
legislative chamber during the session.
Senator Burton, of Kansas, who is under
indictment, was ashamed to enter the
senate chamber, but he wanted the mile
age graft. So it was arranged that he
should show himself at an open door so
that some other senators could say they
had seen him in the chamber! In this
manner he succeeded in defrauding the
government out of 81, 900. The names OF
the Senators who assisted in this hold. up
we're not published but they should be
indicted for defrauding the people, along
with the guilty Kansan.

Senator Goldsborough's anti-cigarette
bill which passed the Senate last week is
being fought in the House by strong
lobby working in the interests of the
cigarette manufacturers and tobacconists
who have unlimited means at their dis
posa1 and are prepared to 60 to aEy
lengths to defeat the measure. The i'm
preston prevails among the friends of
the bill that failing to influence members
to vote against it the lobby will do
its utmost to defeat it through lack of a
constitutional majority of ST votes, Undue
ing those delegates who cannot be inau-
enced by any means to vote against the
measure to absent themselves when the
final vote is taken.
Petitions are being circulated through
out the State for signatures demanding
the passage of the measure, aud it is to be
hoped the Cecil delegates will give their
united support to it, be in their places and
vote for it when it comes up for final
action in the House.

The United States senate is composed
of 81 lawyers, seven bankers, nine cap
italists, two farmers and four OF uncertain
utilization. 1t should be noted that the
three-score and seven lawyers above
mentioned are not of the scrub variety,
but are of that highly cultured quality
called after the interests they safeguard
corporation lawyers.
These 81 eminent jurists, with the aid
of their private secretaries, the seven
bankers and the nine capitalists should
be able to check any revolutionary ten
dency of the two horny-handed farmers

tain four.

The Standard Oil Company has proven

one Of the high officials of the Standard

questions asked by the investigating com

of that crooked corporation which has
converted millions OF watered stock into
oil and robbed the people of millions by
exorbitant charges for its product. The
supreme court of New York has decided
it has no power to compel this Standard

Our United States Senators and MEM
bers of the House of Representatives are
evidently very helpless sort of individuals
Judging from the number of assistants
they require. There are more than
twelve hundred employees ins the capitol
building at Washington, of whom four
hundred and ffty-one are.on the pay roll
of the senate alone-not counting seventy
two policemen, who look out for the
safety of the structure and its contents
for the relatively moderate stipend of
$37,5oo year. One is naturally puzzled
to imagine why ninety gentlemen inciden-
tally to the performance of Legislative
business, should require four hundred and
fifty-one persons to assist and wait upon
them
The house of representatives, which
has three hundred and eighty-six mem
bers, employs seven hundred and iorty-
three people, including small army Of
private secretaries, each member being
entitled to such an assistant, paid by the
public at $Ioo month.
If Senators and Representatives were
required to pay the wages of this big
army of assistants, how many would
be nursing soft snaps about the build
ing. Their numbers are easily accounted
for, the reason being that the people have
to foot the bill. This is only one small
item of graft in connection with our
national congress.
