surro Drivers Carry Candles.

In Mexico all vehicles, be they
handcart, automobile. or anything be.
tween, must carry light at night
This rule or law is rigidly enforced
Even the drivers of the poor little
burro or mule carts, on their two
wheels, must carry a light.
So, rather than buy lanterns, which
cost money, they take a dip candle
and wrapping it in bit OF newspa
per to shield it from the wind, carry
1t in their left hand as they drive
along homeward from work after
evening has fallen. The effect i:

Josiah Main, a grandson of the first
settled minister of Rochester, n. H.,
whose bronze statue adorns the CEN
trail square of that thriving city, was
a local character, celebrated for his
wit and skill in argument, and as cum
ming in his speech as Jamie Soutar,
the Drumtochty cynic.
On one occasion company had
gathered at the popular grocery,
among whom were Elder Runnals and
'Siah Main, and bet of two quarts of
rum was made as to who could pray
the best, the elder or Main.
All had taken several portions of
rum or else it is hardly likely that
the elder would have consented to join
In the sacrilegious test. The elder
prayed first, and his petition was so
long, loud and fervent that consid-
cradle crowd gathered before he fin
ished.
Then Main began and prayed with
so much greater fervor and eloquence
that he easily won the bet. The elder
declared he didn't see how he did it.
Why" declared Main. Il began

A Brooklyn mother has solved the
problem of the incorrigible youngster,
says the New York Globe. She had
long found it impossible to take her
four-year-old girl with her into public
places without discomfort and embar.
rassment.
Being on an elevated train recently,
she threatened to take the child out
at the next station and spank her
soundly In the waiting room. Defiance
compelled this course.
Now, unless you behave. I'll whip
you again at the next station and at
every station until you do behave"
was the mothers warning.
The youngster. incredulous, contin.

spanking operation at each of a dozen
stations before the bridge was
reached. The child was convinced.

desired stiffness. it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys tho

can be entirely overcome by using De-

ACCOUNTING FOR THE FLY.
Explanation That Probably Did No.

Before sailing for Egypt for the

January day in Egypt, Morocco or
Algeria the flies are an incredible
pest. You see them in the corners
Of the eyes of native children and
men lie asleep in sunny places with
flies crawling over their lips.
The natives don't mind the flies. In
fact, they like them. At a boorj or
native inn in the Sahara a traveller
said to the waiter. pointing indignant
ly at his sew of barley and goats
flesh:
How comes this dead fly in my
couscous?'
Monsieur replied the waiter, I
can not tell you. Perhaps the fly had
not eaten for many days and throwing
himself ravenously on the CONSCIOUS

contracting an inflammation of the
stomach severe enough to cause
death. The poor little thing can never

der Mercies Of the States.

Washington.-J. Pierpont Morgan OF
New York was in conference with
President Roosevelt two hours Mon
day. The financier came here at the
request Of certain business men of New
York to discuss the business situation
particularly as affecting the rail
roads. He asked the President to
grant an interview to four rail-
road presidents, which request was
granted.
The object of Mr.. Morgans visit was
to urge the President to take some ac-
tion to "allay the public anxiety now
threatening to obstruct railroad in
vestments and construction" Mr.. Nor
gan pointed out to the President that
the financial interests of the country
are greatly alarmed at the attitude of
the administration toward corpora
tions, and particularly the railroads.
At Mr.. Morgan's earnest request
President Roosevelt has agreed to have
conference with four leading rail-
road presidents, Messrs. McCrea of the
Pennsylvania, Newman of the New
York Central, Mellen of New York,
New Haven & Hartford, and Hughitt
of the Chicago & Northwestern, to de-
termine II some agreement can be
reached as to the relations between
the railroads and the administration.
1t is probable that f. II. Hartman,
head Of the Hartman lines, may also
participate in the conference, which, it
is understood, will take place at the
White House the latter part of this
week.
B. F. Yoakum, chairman of the
board Of directors of the Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific railroad, who had an
interview with President Roosevelt
and members of the Interstate Com
merce Commission regarding the rail-
road situation, told President Roose-
welt that the agitation and legislation
in various states regarding two-cent
fares and the reduction in freight rates
have made 1t almost impossible for the
railroads to negotiate loans on their
securities. He declared that "the rail
road men are willing that the super
vision of the railroads be centralized
in the national government"
THAT" he added, would restore con-
fidence and give the people to under
stand that the railroads wish to OBJ
serve the laws, and it would stop the
hostile legislation in many states"
