IS feet or more, heretofore has never
been utilized for any purpose, except
that the fruit is sometimes eaten by
the Indians.
In Mexico the maguey plant Is
largely used in the manufacture OF
pulque, mescal, teQuila and aqua miel,
and the fiber for rope and mating.
From the pulp of the leaves paper is
made
Tuna, the fruit Of the opuntia, is rel
ished by many.
The ocotillo has served usefully in
the construction of houses, or shacks.
and fences for the Mexicans and In
dians.
From the niggerhead cactus-echino-
cactus wislizenii-cactus candy is
made by softening the fiber by boiling
, and filling the pores with sugar.
Other species of cacti have limited
uses.
In Tucson one day, while handling
a piece of the echinocactus wisliZenii,
the writer noticed, after the moisture
was pressed from the fiber, the great
strength and pliability it possessed.
When dry, however, it became brittle
and chalklike. Experiments, in an ef-
fort to obtain strength and pliability
IN the fiber when dry, led to success
after about a year Of careful work.
It was discovered that the giant sa-
suaro was particularly adapted to the
manufacture of cactus leather prod
acts.
The heart of the saguarO is peculiar
Iy formed, being a series of rods or
poles set in a circle, extending from
top to bottom of the cactus, and into
the earth IN the form Of roots. This
heart of the cactus also proved OF
great value in the manufacture Of
many fancy articles, such as baskets,
caneholders, boxes, picture frames,
veneers and for numerous other pur-l
poses too varied to mention.
When used in this way sufficient OF
the fiber is left adhering to the rods
to bind them together in the form de-
sired. After tanning and drying this
fiber makes a tough, leathery joint,
which binds the sticks together in the
most secure manner

Indianapolis, Ind.-There is no bet
ter story-teller to be found than John
W. Kern, the Democratic nominee for
vice-presidsnt, although when he in,
dulges in the humorous for the benefit
of his friends it is always of the clean
est sort.
Mr.. Kern has a keen taste for the
satire in life, His friends recall one
Of his sarcastic utterances INDUCED in
on an occasion when he was dining
with W. ]. Bryan not long ago. At
the time Mr.. Kern was being dis
cussed as a vice-presidential posi-
bility.
Some one jocularly remarked that a
few years in Washington as the vice
president of the country ought to
please Kern greatly The question
arose as to the expense of living in
Washington.
Yes" said Kern, Il understand
that it is costing Vice-President Fair
banks about $4,000 a year. Now, at
that rate, considering the state of my

Mr.. Bryan was greatly amused at
the utterance, it is said, and often al
ludes to Mr.. Kern's remark.
AS long as somebody doesn't organ
ize Curran club, J. w. Kern can GO
happily through the campaign. Cur
ran is good enough name and all
that, but 1t does not happen to be his
name. And many people, since he has
been one of the big guns in Indiana
politics and his name has been often
spoken, have used il Curran.
Not long ago Judge Pritchard of the
criminal court received a letter from
a man concerning the trial of Harry
P. Brunaugh, then in progress, and
the man spoke of ''Mr. Curran," mean
ing Mr.. Kern.
Such is fame suggested the Judge
through two campaigns for governor
and still Mr.. Currani"
Yes, such is fame!" sighed Nr
Kern.

Orthodox Economy.

We have been brought up to bow
before the fetch of competition In
our economic ritual we are accus-
toned to such antiphonal responses
as competition is the life of trade" I"
business is business" "1et him get
who can and keep who is able" That
expresses the economic faith of most
OF us or the service we render in lieu
Of faith. There is another economic
shibboleth, the Anglo-SaxOn idea OF
liberty. II has run riot with US It
means the right, seemingly, to do as|
one pleases, and most of US live By
this faith. We do not, perhaps, rob
great corporations or break into
banks or steal from our neigh Dor, but
We fail 10 pay our taxes or We beat the
railways or the custom house What
is the use of paying the full rate when
other people are paying one-haIf orI
one-fifth? There is no justice in a
mans laying on himself these unnsc-
essary burdens. But if the law is IN
Just It should be modified To disobey
the law is to demand personal liberty
against social welfare. Until we can
get our practical ethics attuned 10 fine
moral determinations We are still
orthodox economists.
