Dies Stealing a Timepiece.

Rt. Rev. DIR. Chadwick, bishop of
Derry and Raphoe, In a speech at the
synod of the Irish Protestant Church
referred to the story of q pickpocket
! having been found dead with the watch
of the clergyman who had come to at
tend him in his hand. The clergy
man in whose experience this strange
incident occurred was the late Rev.
w. H. White, chaplain of the Savoy
and chaplain to the speaker of the
British House of Commons in HAe
reign of Speaker Brand,
Mr.. White was aroused In the small
hours of the morning from his sleep
by a sick call when early In his min
istry he was curate in a Brighton
parish. He was summoned to a bad
quarter of the town and was led to
the bedside of a man who was rapidly
sinking amid surroundings of destitu-
ton and squalor.
The man passed away while Mr.
White was offering prayers on his be-
half and Mr. White on rising from
his knees discovered to his astonish-
ment that his watch had been removed
from his pocket and was held tightly
in the grasp of the dead man.

THE DIPLOMACY OF DIAZ.
GCS~a>G&>e>x>S>SS'


1
Thirty years ago, wher Porfirlo Diaz
became president, Mexico was full Of
robbers and cut-throats. The noun
! tains swarmed with outlaws in league
with confederates in the cities who
kept them informed as to the move
ments of travellers
Diaz knew that the resources of
Mexico could not be developed until
brigandage was stamped out, 50 orders
were given to execute all brigands.
This policy overawed to a great extent
the lawless population, but the noun
tains were still Businesses for thieylng
bands
Then a bright idea came to Diaz.
Many, perhaps most, of the men had
lost all they possessed during the fiercgs
wars of the country. They had become
outlaws largely through the force of
untoward circumstances. Might it not,
Diaz queried, be a wise thing to offeF
these Ishmaels Of civilization the OPP
portunlty to regain their foothold
among law-abiding citizens
Accordingly, when the brigands
were caught they were questioned
'How much money dolyou obtain a
week on the average in your lawless
and criminal life?'
The prisoners answered. Diaz pom
dered well. At last he announced that
he would pay the bandits double the
amount which they claimed as the av.
erage they obtained by thieving.
He would enroll them as members
Of the Mexican constabulary or rurales,
and they were to extend this offer to.
all the members of the bands they
knew; but each man must swear y
serve the state with fidelity, and If
my bandits refused to accept the of.
Ter, they were to be hunted down and
killed wherever found.
The idea worked admirably. Soon
Mexico was like another land and the
'urales became the strongest military
md police arm of the republic.

sworn TO secrecy.

The Dundee Advertiser tells story
OF country cleric, still on the under
side OF 40, who was driving home along
road from an outlying hamlet when
he overlook young woman He rec
ognnzed her as Mary, the maid of all
work at farm which he would pass
on his way to the rectory. So he pulled
up and offered her lift. Mary was
nothing loath, and the parson was
glad of her company. All the way to
the farm gate they chatted pleasantly,
as country people do, and when her
destination was reached he set her
down. Then she thanked him for his
kindness and his company. Don't
mention 1t, Mary don't mention It" he
said politely, as he pulled the rug
around his knees and gathered up the
relns. "No, won't" answered Mary
in an obliging tone and the young
rector went on hts way thoughtfully.

The birth OF male heir to the Span
ish throne has for the present slmpll-
fed the question of the succession, a
matter that has been responsible for
much disturbance in the empire, as well
as in the rest Of Europe The trouble
was acute so long ago as 100. when
Charles H. OF the house OF Hapsburg
died, childless, after making Philip,
grandson Of Louis XIV. of France, his
successor This first Bourbon King OF
Spain was not recognized by the other
powers till after n long war, concluded
in 1713. Philip, known as the fifth Of
Spain, proclaimed the Sale law the
next year, limiting the succession to
his male descendants. His great
grandson, Ferdinand YII.,-one of the
royal victims of Napoleon's ambition,
was restored to the throne In 1913.
In 1929 he married his fourth wife,

NARY ANNE
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

There was sense of impending ca
lamity In the house.
The heavy day had arisen with weep
ing skies, and Mary Anne, finding he
occupation on the front steps gone, re
tired indoors shaking her head.
She paused in the lower hall, neal
/ the bottom of the stairs, and listened
with her small head on one side like {
bird, for some sound from above.
Thus posed, one obtained an excellent
view of her, sort of portrait study
that remained. She was well-made, the
straight angular line of her faded cot
ton frock could not altogether destroy
the shapely outline, and her feet, ex-
tremely neat and well shod, might have
served as an object lesson to certain
Of her sllpshod class. For she was only
general or household slavey, serving
In a dull street in lower suburbia for
the magnificent sum of twelve pounds
per annum. Her apron, though coarse,
was clean, also the small neat collar
pinned with a shamrock brooch in
front
She had rather long thin neck, and
a small neat face with tre1nulous
womanly mouth, and pair OF lovely
eyes. Mary Anne WAS unaware Of her
own assets; nor did she strive to make
the most of them. She was clean and
tidy because 1t was her nature to be so.
md because she was paid to be a help
not an eyesore In strangers house.
Her code Of ethics or morals was eIe-
but bound her duty, which
lifted that code to the
highest plane Mary Anne was, In
word, that particular kind OF household
reasure which is growing extremely

The return OF the bicycle Is predicted
by those who are interested In the
trade and 1t is said that the business
is picking up. There is no likelihood Of
a revival Of the bicycle lad Of fifteen
years ago, but the trade is expecting
IN increasing Interest in the wheel as
practical means of transportation and
recreation. The expectation seems rea-
sonable, for it is noticeable that other
nations have not abandoned the bicycle

travel and OF seeing the country.

According to a report twelve girls OF
the Chickasaw nation have written to
a college president soliciting his aid In
procuring for them Caucasian hus-
bands. They have described their pos
sessions with q minuteness that would
charm fortune hunter, and have made
| II clear that they are fully aware of
the Importance of presenting financial
attractions before presuming to make
other claims. While In a flppant mood
this action might be construed as 4
girlish Jest or harmless joke, there
Is reason to suspect an underlying pur-
pose or seriousness, an earnest desire
to better the existing state and pro-
mote future happiness All authorities
agree that Indians do not make ideal
husbands. Hiawatha was perhaps an
exception, but Hiawatha must be taken
with more than the usual allowance Of
salt, and everybody knows that Mr.
Longfellow In far Off Cambridge did
not enjoy exceptional facilities for
studying the Indian In his conJugal ca
pacity. The noble red man In song and
story Is extremely picturesque as he
pursnes the flying deer or spears or an
giles for the elusive fish, but his nobii-
ity dwindles as he Tolls in the ham
mock while his wife grubs In the fields
and tolls that he may eat 1t Is also
noted by careful observers that how
ever the Indian may rise to eminence in
an Eastern college town and acquire
large fragments OF general knowledge |
his disposition on returning home Is
to lapse into primitive conditions and |
enjoy life as did his fathers before |
him. The Indian girl, ON the other
hand, profits more enduringly by edu- |
cation. She sees the white maiden |
supremacy over the white
man, and notes with increasing adj
the white wife giving neces-
sary orders to well trained and ODE
dent husband. How natural then that
the Indian girl should wish for herself
so happy a lot and long for a transit
ton that would assure her a position

| and abrogated the Sale law In spite
! of the protests of his brothers and OF
| the French Bourbons His daughter
Isabella, born In 1880, was proclaimed
queen on his death, three years later,
with her mother as regent. Isabella's
uncle, Don Carlos, asserted his claim
to the throne under the Sale law, but
the regent succeeded In maintaining
her daughters position. Don Carlos
descendants have ever since been pre-
tenders to the Spanish throne. The
present Carlist claimant is his grand
son. Queen Icabella was driven from
Spain by revolt In 1868, and two
years later the Spanish succession
caused a fresh commouon In Europe.
The proposition to call to the throne a
prince of a branch of the Prussian
royal house of Hohenzollern was the
apparent though not the real cause OF
the great war OF 1870 between France
and Germany. The throne was offered |
to Prince Amadeo, a son OF King Vic
tor Emmanuel OF italy. but the task of
governing Spain was too much for him,
and after few years he abdlcated.
Then a republic was set up, but 1t
lasted only two years, and Alfonso
Kill, the son of Isabella, was restored
10 the throne without the shedding of
4 drop of blood. On Alfonso's death,
n 1885, his daughter Maria succeeded
aim and was queen till Alfonso NIL,

months later, the ninth Of the house of
Bourbon to rule over Spain. II the
