A STORY FROM MEXICO
HOWARD MoNEYSM,TH WRITES
OF THE LAND OF TIE
AZTECS.

Howard Moneysmith, an Ardmore
boy who left here several months ago
for chihuahua. Mexico, in the employ
OF the McQuattcrs Machine and
Plumbing co. wrote the following In.
tcresting letter to the Ardmoreitc OF
the people OF that country and their
ways.
There are many interesting objects
here. and among them is the Cathed.
raj de- Chihuahua which was built by
the Monks more than POO years ago
from the taxes received from the San
tn Eulalie silver mines. The Cathedral
cost approximately over 100000 Mex
lean money. which Is equivalent to
about 100000 American money.
The Santa Eulalie mine is consider
ed one OF the richest silver mines In
existence today anywhere In the world
There is AN old dam on the river
Rio Chuyizcar. located about five Kill
ometers from the city with an aque-
duct leading to the city. and which
was constructed about the same time
the Cathedral was. or shortly there.
after.
Hidalgo. a priest, the father OF
Mexican independence was executed
here by the order Of Macmillan on
July 80, 1871. The prison in which
IIidalgo was confined has been torn
down with the exception of the cell
occupied by him, which has been care
fully preserved.
The Indians Of this country are of
the lowest order have ever seen,
and are still wearing only u breech
cloth. In one instance an old Indian
was seen ON the Alameda, the swell
promenade of the city, clothed In a
breech cloth, and wearing an old plug
hat that some one had given him.
Coming down TO the present time,
chihuahua is city any state In the
west would be proud to claim. the
beautiful plazas. where the bands play
every Saturday and Sunday evening
and where the dark eyed senoritas
all go out for a promenade. A pc
culiar condition exists In this country
and no gentlemen accompanies the
ladies on these promenades The gen
tlemen walk one way in groups, while
the young ladies walk the other way
The many beautiful drives of the city
lined on either side with picturesque
| houses of pleasing architecture Il

propriate little spread is just the
thing to refresh one on an oppressive

IL Is impossible To buy fresh bis.

The National Biscuit Company
comes to the rescure with biscuit and
waters OF all kinds in moisture and

their freshness. that their real age
dates only from the time the packages

Perhaps the most popular for the

that its attractive appearance alone

they would be just the thing.

A very amusing sight to be seen
here, Is when young man calls on

playing bear. No young man can call
on a girl as they do In the states but
must stand on the street and talk
/ through the barred windows, while the
parents sit close by to hear everything
that is said. The higher class Mex
leans have affected the American
styles In almost everything while the
poems. or lower class MeXicans are
satisfied with a serapa for shelter
and torteons for bread.
Torteons are "A kind of a cake made
from ground corn, and with the tor
teons the Mexicans eat freholies, oi
what we know az chill beans. This
has been the dish of the peon class
of Mexicans for generations.
Peonage has been done away with
and lower class Mexicans get bette
wages since the Americans have in
vaded the fields. Where formerly th'
Mexican peon usually received fift,
cents per day. he now receives from
s1.5O to $500 per day and can live a
cheaply as they did before.
The police and soldiers will in M
manner compare with police and sol

however a fine body of men and ar
the same as the Texas rangers"

About Cats

turtles head in his mouth as A trophv Of his
hard-fought battle.
A determined Connecticut hen wanted to
set, but her owner took away her eggs, where
upon. she quit her nest and clustered about
the farm, finding a great deal Of fault with
things generally. One day, she came to take
q look at her nest. and found therein the
family cat and five kittens. Biddy promptly
pitched into the cat, drove her off the nest,
flew IN and sat down on the kittens, evidently
interring they were new kind Of chickens
she had hatched IN a moment of mental alb
stractlon. Then began curious warfare be-
tween the unhappy cat and the pugnacious
cat returned to her offspring, and the hen as
regularly drove her away. On the third day
the cat took the kittens, one by one. by the
scruff of the neck and transported them to
distant part Of the haymow. Then came
EDDY home and raised another noisy row.
She looked vainly for the missing brood for
two days, and when she found them the cat
had to run for her life. But the real mother
hnaliy came of victorious, as was right and
proper. Watching her chance, she carried her
little ones to the top of high scaffold, and
there bid defiance to the unreasonable hen
until the kittens, were big enough to take take
care of themselves. But the old cat has To
run when she meets the hen.
While Kentucky man was passing along
a street in the suburbs of Louisville he no,
ticed a large cat crouched near the edge of the
sidewalk, looking the picture of distress. AS
he approached the animal paid no attention to
him, but kept its eyes steadily fixed on some
object. When the man put out his foot the
cat backed away, giving cry that indicated
pain rather than fright, but still keeping its
eyes turned to the same spot Presently Il
stopped and moved forward again, when the
man drove it away and proceeded to find out
if possible, what it was that had created so
much interest for the feline. He was greatly
surprised when he discovered large black
snake coiled up as if ready to spring, its ewes
glaring and its body undergoing a peculiar
movement. The man watched the snake until
he was satisfied that it had charmed the cat
which measured fully four feet in length.
