The Oldest text of a real treaty now
In existence is that Of the convention
between Rameses H., king Of Egypt
and the Prince of Kheta. which EN-
braces the articles Of permanent Of
fensive and defensive alliance, with
clauses providing for the extradltion OF
emigrants, deserters, criminals and
skilled workmen. This treaty was
drawn up in the fourteenth century
B. c.. and is the earliest record that
we have Of any international transac'
ton.

THE FRONT PORCH.

During these days the country is
being edited from the front porch.
In the south the porch is more or
less Of an all year institution. In the
north for seven or eight months in the
wear the front porch is ike the plat
form of a street car-of use only 10
get on. But during the good old sunl-
mer time 1t justifies its existence north
and south.
The front porch now ceases to be
the mere threshold Of the house 1t
becomes sitting room, sewing ROOM
nursery and library. 1t IS the hearth
stone transferred to the open.
Here sits the family and solaces It
SELF Inoffensive gossip floats serene
ly-and wisdom also. Here IS the
forum. Here many grave problems
are sorted and settled, and laughter
and good cheer have a place.
II YOU would study the average
American family in its normal state
observe the family as it sits on the
front porch after supper, amiably crltl-
cising its neighbors or discussing the
evening paper or family or state al
fairs. laughing at the play Of children
good humored. satisfied with ITSELF
optimistic, hearty, genial.
And if you will watch close enough
you will observe the play of sentiment
and the undertone of wise Judgment.
1t does not matter how pretentious
or how humble may be the front porch
1t is part and parcel Of that home life
on which is builded the real etrengtI
of this nation. The front pOr~h is re
lated to that family life in summer as
is the Preside in winter.
The porch may prOximate the gran
deur of a wide and stored veranda
or 1t may be only a humble stoop o.
only q few steps. But
Here foregathers that little republic
the family.
In America, because of this custom
OF the family. the front porch arises T.
the dignity of national institution
While It is not one Of the things TO
which the fathers fought, it is parce
of the heritage they bequeathed to Us
And 1t is as potent in its day as wa
the town meeting OF its day.
Besides
The American front porch provide
that which Americans much need-r6
taxation.
Alas. the strenuous life! Let tn
heather rage. AS for US
Let's 20 out on the front porch.

Strange Discovery in Mexico.

The Mexican Herald comes out with the amazing statement that an ex. ploration of Mexico is revealing the existence of many towns, with as many as 800 inhabitants each, that had nev- CT been heard of before. The Herald is authority for the following concern ing our sister republic:
 "The federal government, in view of the fact that there is not single map of the republic containing all the towns and ranches of the different dis tricts, has decided on the creation of the Sociedad Geografco Exploradora, whose members are travelling through out the republic drawing up plans of the different districts visited by them.
 "Very curious occurrences are re- ported. It is said that members of the commission, when exploring woods and valleys, have discovered towns of from 100 to 800 inhabitants, the ex- istence of which was unknown, these people living completely isolated from the rest of the world"

The Holbrook Coal Fields.

The promoters of the Holbrook I'm provement company of Holbrook, Ari- zona, who are engaged in tapping the rich coal fields near the city, have purchased a large auto to carry the employees and supplies back and forth. The big car has been shipped to Hol- brook. According to local railroad men, more than fifty employees of the Santa Fe have invested heavily in the Holbrook concern. It is said that the coal veins are larger than the Gallup coal mines, and it is possible that the Holbrook mines may be in operation when Gallup has ceased to be coal camp. The American Fuel company is also interested in the Holbrook fields. Citizen.
