Mexican CHURCH Lcwcnl..

Queretaro was town before the
Spanish conquest and was made n city
In 1000. a legend OF Queretaro Is that
M Otomitc chief. Fernando dc Tapia
by name, undertook TO convert the city
to Christianity in way that seems
novel TO lis, but was common enough
to his day. He came from Tula with
challenge to the people of Queretaro
TO fnir stand up fight. II he won. the
people surviving were to be baptized.
The challenge was accepted, but while
the fight was in progress dark cloud
came up and the blessed Santiago was
seen in the heavens with Il fiery cross,
whereupon the people of Queretaro
gave up and were baptized. They set
up stone cross to commemorate the
event on the site of the present church
of Santa Cruz. There is scarcely q
church in Mexico which has not a leg
end of this kind attached to 1t.

Spain ana the Peculiar Temperament
OF It's People.
II | were asked to sum up the domi-
nant impression that the survival In
Spain OF the old world mediaevalism
makes. l should say that Spain Is In
the precise and specific sense of the
word the home OF romance. The spe-
cial character OF the Spanish tempera-
mcnt and of Spanish DEVELOPMENTS In
literature and In art Is marked by
quality, rising and sinking with the,
rise and fall of Gothic, which we call
the romantic spirit-a mixture, that Is,
OF the mysterious and grandiose with
the grotcsqucly bizarre OF the soaringly
Ideal with the crudely real, mixture
which to us today has the cunning fas-
clnatlon of art, but was really on both
sides the natural outcome of the ex-
pcriences and feelings Of the men who
created 1t. This romantic spirit was
once the common possession of all
Christendom, but the Spanish temporal
ment peculiarly lent itself to the ro-
mantle attitude, and 1t is III Spain to-
day that we may catch its final vanish
Ing echoes. 1t is the church, always
the most powerful stronghold OF trad,,
ton among any people, which enables
tile stranger most wildly to realize
how well the romantic spirit has been
preserved In Spain. Notwithstanding
iiivasons from without and revolutions
from within, especially during the
early years OF the last century, Spain
IS still the country where the mediae-
val spirit of romantic devotion Is most
splendidiy embodied and preserved

BLUE LAWS in BOSTON.

Boston has gone back TO the
days of Cotton Mather and about
the only thing you can do in the
Hub on Sunday without fear of ar
rest is 10 breath and go to church,
and the whole trouble has been
started by District Attorney Moran
whose great ambition in life is to
see his name occupying the head
lines IN the papers. A few weeks
ago he arraigned the police officials
of Boston in no uncertain manner
for not enforcing the liquor laws of
that city. The police have retail
lated by enforcing Il whole stack
OF blue laws which had been forgot
ten but which have never been
annulled: A week ago last Sun
day, everybody who was seen by an
officer doing u stroke of work was
summoned before magistrate for
decision whether the work was one
of necessity. Twelve hundred per-
sons In all were thus brought to
Justice and a great many of them
paid fines. Sweeping sidewalks,
delivering ice cream and other per-
lshablo articles of food, Shipping
theatrical scenery and effects, the
playing of orchcstras In hotels
these arc typical instances of the
kinds OF Sunday work which the
police made arrests.
Last Sunday the people were not
so reckless in attempting TO do
work but here is list of oTenses
for which Il great many were plac-
ed under arrest.
Harvesting pair of horses.
Checking bags and parcels at the
North station.
Repairing fire alarm line at ia
maica Plain.
Selling fruit at the South station.
Washing windows mt the South
station.
Chinaman ironing.
Towboat captains in harbor
Kcepiag bakeries open after
hours. /,
Washing sleeping cars at South
Boston yards.
Moving theatrical scenery
Raising railroad tracks at Dud-
ley street.
Carting sand for l. railway.
Shining shoes after IL n. m.
The enforcement of the blue laws
without regard to common sense is
mighty inconvenient for the people
in the city but 1t Is also holding
the town up before the world IN
ridicule and cannot help but fail
to injure 1t TO more or less extent
In the end, however, this rigid en-
forcement of il lot of old dead laws
VIII be n good thing for Boston as
II is arousing the people to the fact
that their statute books need a
thorough overhauling, something
that has, not been done for years
because of moral cowardice or be.
cause they were forgotten. The
pages on which they are printed
have grown yellow with age and
long ago outlived their. usefulness,
If they ever had any at all, and
Boston will be II better town when
they cease to be laws.
