Dr. Cross was the owner of an optical business in San Luis Potosi, where he also dealt in photographic ma terials. His wife is an American lady to whom he has been married for many years.
 Mexican Herald: That a portion at least of the Japanese who are arriving in Mexico are inspired by some llterior motive is evidenced by incidents whic h now and then come to public notice. A young Jap who, three months ago, arrived in Mexico City secured immediate employment in the home of wealthy Mexican. He feigned an ignorance of the Spanish language yet apparently understood every thing that was required of him, and so efficient did he become that when he informed his employer of his intention to leave the latter was 10th to release him. Instead of $10 per month which he received as wages he was offered successive ly twenty, thirty, forty and then fifty. Finally, upon his employer pressing him for an explanation, the young Jap, speaking with a command of Spanish which sur prised his employer, admitted that he was a military engineer in the employ of his government and that he had only served as mozo in order to gain more intimate knowledge of Mexican customs. He informed his employer that he . had been ordered by his sovereign's government to go to the United States and that all the wealth which his employer possessed could not tempt him to remain in his employ. Attired in the latest cut of tailor made clothes the young engineer took a horthbound train on the following evening.

YANKEE KING IN AFRICA
Rules Over n Settlement with a Popu-

with my party we took the steam
boat and started up the Congo River
toward the center of Africa. The scenery
was never monotonous. Now we came
to high white cliffs, now to low, sandy
shore. Here were found heavy forests,
whose edges ended apparently in mid
stream and there the low BUSH which
only half hid treacherous swampland.
soon we reached a station on the
French shore of the Congo and landed
by way of a giant tree trunk in the midst
of fairly settlement. The first thing to
welcome us was a gorilla, who turned
three somersaults and then extended
halvy, long nailed paw. At n SWINGING

NO REASON FOR THE JAMESTOWN
EXPOSITION.

Aside from considerations CT an his
torical and sentimental nature the
grounds Of justification for the celebra-
ton Of the jamestown ter-centenary in
the location chosen are beyond human
understanding. Even from the sentiment
tai point of view the site selected has
little or no significances, being thirty-tive
miles removed from the spot where New
port and his adventurers landed in the
spring of 1907. For the rest. its lack of
terminal and local transportation facili-
ties and adequate hotel accommodations
and its remoteness from the great CEN
tres of population-all these deficiencies
would. in the eyes Of most practical Mon
have made It almost the last place to be
selected for the holding of a great ma
tional exposition. The celebration began
on time with nothing ready but the
President. the army and navy-and they
are always ready; the arts OF peace
were represented by unfinished State
buildings. fine display Of ungraded
streets, and "a nice arrangement of
landscape gardening fragments. che
early visitors found an exposition with
nothing exposed except the poor judg-
ment of those who fixed upon the site
and the nefficiency OF those who under
took to carry out the plans. This IS the
situation at present, and It is freely pre-
dicted that tho show will prove one Of the
most calamtous failures in the history
OF expositions in this country. For the
sake Of our national pride II is to he
hoped that such doleful forecasts may
not be justified-Lesles Weekly.

AFRAID OF PARALYSIS
A NERVOUS SUFFERER CURED
BY DR.. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS.
The Medicine That Makes Rich, Red
Blood and Perforns Wonders as
Tonic for tho Nerves.

Why are nervous people invariably
pale people?
The answer to that question explains
why remedy that acts on the blood
can cure nervous troubles.
1t explains why Dr. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People are also for nervous
people.
1t is because Of the intimate relation
between tho red corpuscles in the blood
and the health of tie nerves The
nervous system receives it's nourishment
through the blood. Let the blood be-
come thin, weak and colorless and the
nerves are starvcd-the victim is started
on the road that leads to nervous wreck.
Nervous people are pale pcople-but the
pallor comes first. Enrich tho blood
and the nerves are stimulated and toned
up to do their part of the work of tho
body. DR.. Williams Pink Pills make
red blood and transform nervous, irrit-
able, ailing people into strong, energetic,
forceful men and women.
