AN ATHLETE STILL AT Is.
President Diaz of Mexico Climbs q
Pole Hand Over Hand.

Diaz is the commanding PERSONAL
ity of Mexico, the founder and pre-
server Of what is called the republic,
writes Dr.. w. w. Boyd, in the Ma
tional Home Journal. Republic, how
ever, is a msnomer, judged by our
ideas of a republican government.
There Is a show of voting, a form
Of representative assembly; but the
Congress is created somewhat after
the way in which the Gear elected the
last Duma.
l was told by leading diplomat
that when Governor was to be
elected by State the name was Sc
lected In the City Of Mexico, and the
day after the election that name was
sent to the State with the polite Off
cial announcement: son yesterday
the people chose as Governor of your
State Mr.. So and So," the man Sc
lected at headquarters.
Nevertheless, let 1t be said that out
of heterogeneous mass of discordant
and belligerent States, where con-
spiracy and revolution were rife, and
human life and property were unsafe,
there now emerges strong, intelli-
gent government, liberal and just to
all. And in the accomplishment OF
this stupendous task to Diaz more
than to all others is due the credit.
Not only Intellectually, but physic-
ally, the President is a remarkable
man. He was addressing the young
cadets of the military school and en-
phasizing the Importance of caring
for the body by temperance, chastity
and self-control II one would make
the most and best of himself, when
he ran to tall pole in the arena of
the gymnasium and climbed 1t, hand
over hand, to the top. Then grace
fully sliding down, he said:
"Young gentlemen, IL you live as
abstemious life as have led, when

This Meissonnier by effrontery

the talent of this artist merited no

is to be acknowledged that 1t soon
passed away. Not twenty years has

His statue will be relegated to

A Much-piscussed Question.

Why are the trousers that sailors
wear so wide at the bottom? That
question has been asked over and
over again, and, strange as it may
seem, no one not a sailor knows ex-
actly how to answer it. The editor
is unable to give the origin of the
fashion authoritatively, but he heard
a man who is pretty we'll informed in
questions of that kind say it grew
out of the old-time custom of cutting
out sailors trousers on shipboard,
when the cutter would simply run
the shears straight down the cloth,
without making any attempt to give
the leg shape. This was due partly
to haste, partly to Indifference to
style. Another plausible explanation
is the following: Sailors frequently
have to row ashore and barefooted
step into the water and pull their
boats up on the beach. The width
of their trousers at the bottom allows
them to roll their trousers high to
keep them dry.-Chicago News.

standard authority. 1t is "Empory"

on the Rock Island, and "Saliny" on
the Union Pacific. The substitution
In these names has become as State

Tatha. The single exception in Kan
sas appears to be ottawa. That clas-
eic city has escaped the "tag" of cot
tawy," but it escaped merely to be
known everywhere in Kansas at "Ot-
taway." So far as can be recalled
the only town that is given credit for
final "a" is Olathe-which can be
accounted for upon the ground, per-
haps, that its name really ends in "e."

Estimates of the number of veterans
in line varied from 5000 to $4,000. The
various posts marched with half a
block between them, and the depart

was a good ten feet separating each
row of marchers, and it was this lib
