An Unpleasant CincO de Mayo incident.

EDITOR ERA:-The cinco de Mayo
in Metcalf was a success. There
were more than two thousand people
present, composed of Americans,
Mexicans and Italians. The speeches
were well worthy of applaused ex-
cept that delivered by a member of
the anti-Diaz club, which greatly
shocked all those present. The ora
tor was one of those renegades, who
are neither worthy Mexicans nor fit
aliens for any civilized country.
Pointing his finger at the portrait of
President Diaz he exclaimed : "Down
with Diaz! Cursed be Diaz! Traitor!
Tyrant of the republic! Imposterl
Thief - etc, etc.
Edward Gomez, being present, was
importuned by many friends, both
American and Mexican, to refute
the vile ISLANDERS cast upon President
Diaz, which he did in a ringing, pat
riotic outburst of eloquence which
captivated the immense audience.
After he had finished vivas Diaz,
vivas Mexico and vivas Gomez rent
the air.
After order had again been secured
a resolution was. unanimously carried
ordering all members of the anti
Diaz club to at once leave the coun-
try, and by the following day they
had all disappeared. SUBSCRIBER.

accompanied by Grand Trustee L. A.
W. Burtch and representatives
John Kelly and Roy Wayland, all
members of Clifton Lodge No. II,
left Tuesday for Douglas to attend
the meeting of the grand lodge of
this domain. The boys left Clifton
instructed to the muzzle and it is
quite likely that when they finish the
present grand session the order will
have advanced many steps forward.
They were accompanied by the fol-
lowing ladies, members of Crescent
Temple No. 10, Rathbone Sisters:
Mesdames Mary Cox and Muriel
Wright, members of the grand tenn
pie, and Mesdames Pearl Hill and
Terrell, representatives of the local
lodge. They were joined at Guthrie

Clifton Saturday morning en- route to
Ell Paso, where he spent Sunday on a
little pleasure trip in the interest of
the Morenci base ball team The
ERA hopes that he succeeded in
matching a game between Ell Paso
and Morenci. James is a true sport
and there is no reason why he will
not lead his team to victory if they
stay with him.

the Improved Order of Red Men of

the last council and many more are
to come in before he leaves for other
fields of labor On next Wednesday
large number of candidates will be

Tribe a new start and from then on

tinue to be received under special

John Stuart Mill was an unassuming
philosopher. He strove to give his wife
the credit of his works, and he was new
err pretentious in claiming precedence
among men. Miss Cobbe in her Life
relates this anecdote of Mr.. Mills mod
esty:
She was talking to him one day about
the difficulty of doing mental work
when disturbed by the music of street
bands and instanced the case of gen
tIeman who was thrown into a frenzy
by their noise.
ut does not interfere with my work, "
said Mr.. Mil.
Miss Cobbe remarked that Herbert
Spencer was much annoyed by such
disturbance.
"Ah, yes, of coursew rejoined the
modest man. "Writing Spencer's works
one must have quiet"
He was so unconscious of the free
dom from disturbance required to write
his own System of Logic" and "Po-
litical Economy" that he would allow,
while writing his cat to lie on his table
or on his neck. His gentleness and his
absorption IN his theme protected him.

whore cocoa grows chew the leaves of
this plant for the purpose Of allaying
the sense of hunger and the feeling of
exhaustion that accompanies it. At
first the leaves were thought to possess
food elements, but now it is known
that the cocaine they contain merely
allays the iTitability of the nerves that
produce the sense of hunger Cocaine
is an alkaloid made from the cocoa
leaf, which has the effect of completely
destroying the sensibility of nerves.
The discovery of this active principle
of the cocoa leaf explained fully and
satisfactorily the effect produced by
chewing the leaves. An infusion Of the
leaf might be used with good results in

Doctors Must Know Tastes.

do doctors know how their own
medicine tastes?" was a question put
to a group of physicians.
ITO be sure" said one, "but we have
hard work to convince our patients
that we do. If you only knew how
this beastly stuff tastes, doctor, you
wouldn't ask me to take it, is the
complaint they make when dosed with
an especially disagreeable connection.
And they are hard headed people, too,
who say that, people who are by no
meas raving in delirium. No matter
how sincerely | may protest it is hard
to persuade them that | do know how
the stuff tastes just as well as they
do.
"'How did you find out about itY is
one of their trump questions. You
have never been laid up with all the
diseases in the dictionary. How did
YOU learn what the different remedies
taste like?
at never occurs to the average pa
tient that tasting drugs is part Of a
medical students education, and that
no man is qualified to practice until he
has learned the flavor Of the medicines
he prescribes."
