the son q an innkeeper of Indian
blood, ne soon showed signs Of an
adventurous and determined disposi-
ton; and in boyhood travelled two
hundred miles to join the revolution

back to study law. Later on he en-

The coming of the Austrian Maxi
milan was notify resented by Dia.,
who, imprisoned by the French sup
porters Of the European ruler, refused
to be led forth to meet him. By and
by he had his revenge. He escaped
in exciting circumstances and kept
the flag of revolt flying in southern
Mexico. Puebla presently fell before
mis- arms and Mexico City surrendered
to him. Diaz loyalty gave the city to
the Republican Government Of Juarez
and retired to the neighborhood OF his
birthplace, until the spirit of revolu-
ton, which seems perpetually latent
or loose in Southern American poll
tics, upset the power of Juarez.
Diaz felt he was the man for the
hour; and quietly presented himself
at the capital November 20, 1876.
Next day he made his triumphal en-
try into the city and rode up to the
palace, where he established himself
practically Cor life" For nearly thirty
years the authority of the able and
courageous ruler has remained I'M

Presidential Office mas become a COM
monplace of history. The enormous
territory under his strong and faith
full control has reaped a hundred
benefits. From anarchy its political
and social conditions have passed to
those of prosperity and peace.
He is a personal ruler, refusing
himself to none, and giving attention
to any credited applicant. Mrs.
Tweedie claims to speak from her

offers to the world the amazing spec
tacle of South American republic
apparently firmly established on the
ashes of continual civil conflict; an
autonomy without a tyrant. Diaz has,
we learn, sanctioned the writing OF this
biography, and assisted the author by
lending her his private diaries. Mrs.
Tweedie's choice of subject has made
her the historian of distinctive
epoch in the progress of Western lio-
erty and democracy and of striking
public career.-London Globe.

promises to revolutionize rife and re-
volver practice.
The bullet, which was invented by
DR.. Deirllers, is hollow, and can be
used several times. Mr.. Winans ana
several others practiced with 1t WIN

lions. The pistols used were furnish

Two hundred and seventy-two SHOTS

Gus made full scores, finally shooting
each ether over the heart.
Frenchmen regard such practice as
splendid training for d1elling, as the
experience of firing at and being fired
at by a living opponent has unique
value, it being totally different from
aiming at a target. Men who never
missed a target were quite d1sconcert-

was raised to fire.

NO WASTE IN CANDY BUSINESS.
The Scrap Always Made Use of-sea-
soned CONNECTIONS the Best.

The Scrap Always Made Use of-Sea-
soned CONNECTIONS the Best.
There is this similarity between
the candy business and the iron busi-
ness-the scrap is not allowed to go
to waste. An observer who had an
idea that candy manufacturers must
have to stand lot of loss because
candies get stale took the trouble to
investigate and learned that this idea
was wrong.
The big candy makers ship to their
agents throughout the country at
stated intervals, usually Of a week,
their standard CONNECTIONS, and all not
sold at the expiration Of the interval
are returned to the factory as scrap.
AS the candy is mostly sugar, and
sugar is as indestructible as iron, it is
only a question for the candy maker
of getting the sugar value out OF the
scrap.
1t is impossible to work over the
candy into it's original form, but 1t
can be used in many ways. For ex-
ample the chief use to which stale
chocolates are put is in making cara
mels and other cnewy CONNECTIONS.
It's mistaken idea that candy
must be fresh to be good. One manu-
facturer who makes only for the trade
and confines himself chiefly to high
class chocolates and bonbons said
that candy wasn't fit to eat until 1t
mad been seasoned for at least ten
days. For his own use-and he Is
great lover of candy, despite the gen.
eral belief that no cooks cares for his
own messes-he keeps chocolates
about a month before eating them.
This man has no patience with
those who assert that colored candy
is poisonous. His argument Is SIM
pie. AS he puts it:
whats the use Of putting poison
in candy when natural and harmless
coloring matter costs less? Who'd
nut opium in cigarettes when tobacco
is cheaper than opium?
'It's the same way in my business.
I can turn out bonbons in any shade
YOU want-from the greenest OF Gods
green grass to the pinkest pink OF a
hunting coat, and do 1t all without
the aid of any ingredients but pure
vegetable colorings.
ST have no patience with these pure
food advocates when they come nos
ing around the candy business. Few
of them know what they are talking
about and the others have taken a
few sporadic cases of children poison
ed or merely made i'll by overindul-
gence in cheap candies and condemn
the lot Of US.
.arba CANDY business demands an
artist these days, when you haye to
make displays of form and coloring
to keep in the forefront OF the busi-
ness."-New York Sun.

krata, second for Pantz. entered
the ring. therefore forfeitins the con-
test to Cote.
SecUnd--The referee acknowledged
not having seen the alleged foul COM
mitted, replying to Cotes question:
"Why don't you COUNT" said: "PantZ
SAYS you fouled him. Therefore. the
referee took the word Of one principal
and ignored the claims Of the other,
basing mis- actions thereon rather than
OH what he saw or should have seen,
which we declare z direct contrdoic-
ton to acknowledged rules.
Third-The referee gave no direct de-
cision simply saying: Cote 1oulcd
Pantz," leaving a possible doubt as to
his intentions.
Fourth--The referee agreed at the re-
quest Of the club officials to re-enter
the ring and make clear statement to
the audience, but was spirited away by
parties who were known to. have placed
large sums on the contest.
Fifth-Pantz was examined by two
prominent physicians of our State
few minutes after the alleged foul
wa. committed and they reported no
apparent injury.
In view OF the above facts the club.
standing as it does, for clean sport and
tolerating no other kind. deems its ac-
ton as the most plausible Of any that
has been suggested and believe it will
meet with approval from a large ma
jority Of the fair-minded auditors and
received unanimous endorsement from
the club members.
