RE4py E0R DEP0RZA7ZON
TO yUCATAN

some time before the hastily summoned
Fifth cavalry and Eleventh and Twelfth
infantry companies could be marched
against them. Then followed a series OF
battles which generally concluded unsat-
isfactorily for the Mexicans, though
there was an occasional rounding up OF
the rebels in which large numbers OF
them were slaughtered. On the approach
of the troops the Indians usually took up
strong positions in the mountain fast
nesses. One large band fortified itself
in the Bacatete range, between the Yaqui
and Matopo rivers, and another in the
Sahuaripa mountains. Efforts were
made to keep these two bands apart, but
the working Yaquis all over Sonora and
in California and Arizona were constant
ly coming in and joining with their
brethren and the depredations upon the
ranches and villages were widespread.
Meantime the M~exicans gathered in
the women and children of their foemen
for deportation to Y~ucatan, following the
demand Of Diaz to 'exterminate the va
quis." Maddened by this and by the
reports that the women and children
we're not merely %deported, but that they
were taken out into the Gulf of Califor-
MIA and thrown overheard from the troop

u dH eHIeTpTlSlHS 1dnhGS IOF d CUu-
sideration it has been only natural
that Yaqui and Yank should have be-
come embroiled at times.
"The Yaqui Indians are the most
stubborn fighters on EARTH" said Presi-
dent Diaz of Mexico eight years ago,
"and If ever we are to put them down
we must strike at the root of their race
we must exile their women and chill
dren."
So, month by month, since then thou
sands of the little brown ONE of the
Yaqui nation in Sonora have been torn
from their homes on reservations and
elsewhere, rounded up at Guaymas, on
the west coast of Mexico, and, with
their children, deported to San Bias and
thence across country to the far fever
lands of Yucatan, where many of them
have died. None have ever returned to
Sonora.
This means of subduing a race that
has been in almost constant warfare
against the Mexican government for
more than 80 years has at last been
effective, although 1t has been neces-
sary at the same time to keep from
1000 to 5000 troops in readiness or
in the field to fight the diminishing
band of Yaquis, who have proved them
selves as valiant and as unyielding as
the Beers.
The last two stands of the Yaouis
have recently been reported in the dis.
patches. One Of these was in a noun
tain canyon just north of Altar, where
the Mexicans and Papagos lured the
Yaquis into ambush and killed a large
number of them. The other and con-
Guiding engagement followed a Skin.

southeast of Hermosillo, the capital of
Sonora, in which it was reported that
Bule, the chief of the Yaquis, was killed
and 100 Of his men were slain. After
this bloody battle the remnant of the
Yaqui forces engaged in that fight
marched into Hermosillo and surren-
dered.

worlds silver will come from the land of Diaz. Sonora
has been exporting $12, 000,0 900 to $~15,0O0,00O of silver
a year and could have exported five times that amount
and an incalculable quantity of gold but for one reason
the country has not been safe for white people, except
in the larger towns, because Of the warlike Yaquis, who
have been battling for generations against the Mexicans.
But now the good news has been flashed over the
wires that the long drawn Yaqui war is at An end and
that a treaty favorable to the Indians has been negotiated,
so that soon there will be such an thrush of greedy
gringoes, as the Mexicans call us, into Sonora as has
never been seen before. For there will be no more night
attacks upon ore wagon and supply trains, no more ter
rorizing of the miners in their prospect holes and no
more rushes to the gun rack in the lonely cabin on the
mesa.
1t is characteristic of our commercial age that the
chief interest of the white people in the Yaqui uprisings
has not been a humane but a financial one. Although
Americans have obtained concessions from the Mexican
government of mining, cattle and farming lands, they
have never been able to hold u~ndisputed sway over
them. Now the hardy gringo will descend upon Sonora,
bent upon a conquest far more thorough than that of
Gen. Scott in 184S. He lusts for the silver and gold
hidden under the Sonora mountains, for great bands of
cattle and for the fruits of the fertile valleys, and he will
have them.
Not that the Americans have been essentially hostile
to the Yaquis, for many guns and much ammunition have
been taken over the border to aid them in their des.
perate fight, but that when Diaz has seen fit to parcel
off a comfortable section of Yaqui land here and there

TWO WAISTS TO ONE SKIRT.
Good Idea for Summer Frock That
Will Greatly ProIong the Life
of the Garment.

In making up shirtwaist frock of
summer material, that is to see hard
service, it is a god idea to make two
waists to one skirt The skirt wears
twice as long as the blouse and in this
way the life of the frock is prolonged.
They will fade unequally? Not bit
of it if the waists are worn alternate
ly, not keeping one until the other is
worn out.
Another useful tip for the morning
frock is to have stocks made of the
material with white piqueties for a
four-inhand. There should be at least
two to each waist, as a frock that is
worked in gets soiled more quickly in
the collar than elsewhere. II the
stock is not detachable the blouse
must often go to the tub before it's
time.
Have the skirts cut to clear the
ground by two inches and do not Sc

new IDEA OF READING TESTS
Prof. harrington Devises Practical
Method Of Ascertaining Accurate
ly Amount of Fat.

One Of the important points in test
ing cream by the Babcock test is to
measure the fat accurately after it is
separated in the neck of the test bot
tie. The bottom of the fat column is
approximately a straight line, but the
top has concave surface, or mems
Gus, which often occupies space Of
nearly one per cent of the graduated
scale on the neck of the bottle, writes
Prof. e. II. harrington of the Univer
sity Of Wisconsin in Heard's Dairy
man.
Considerable discussion has arisen
as to whether the fat should be read
to the top, the bottom, or to some
other point on this meniscus.
This uncertainty can be entirely
overcome by dropping a small guam
tity of alcohol into the neck of the
test bottle after the cream test is
completed. The alcohol floats on the
fat and changes its concave surface
to nearly straight line. This use
Of alcohol has long been known, but

HAVE SILLY NOTION
YOUNG PEOPLE GET FALSE IDEAS
ON ENTERTAINING.
Too Many Seem to Think They Must

Luncheons or Else Extend

Ideas like these are the deathblow
to hospitality and sociability, declares
writer in the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Women who cannot give handsome
dinners and luncheons give nothing.
They limit their entertaining and are
burdened by a weight of unpaid social
obligations because they cannot have
as fine linen or china as Weather
friends.
The power to entertain handsomely
Is enviable; even more to be envied is
the gift of entertaining charmingly
but simply. Girls at home and young
married women who possess this
knack are never lacking in popu-
larity. 1t is pleasant thing to well
come ones friends, but when their
coming means splurge that can be
ill-afforded entertaining misses its pur-
pose.
We need to get back to the simpler
ways when having a few guests to

eral extra walters and swelled bills.
There are brides who pine to show
off their dainty gifts of silver and
china, who yet keep their pretty
things packed away waiting for the
time when they can give costly
enough meal to be in keeping. How
more than foolish Just because one
has lovely table appointments can she
afford to entertain simply. The pref
ty setting gives the simplest food an
air.
There are many ways in which
young people can entertain at little
cost. Eliminate expensive refresh
ments and costly prizes. These are
the things that run into money. What
! is needed is courage not to do as the
rest of your set does.

Home Decorations.

Scrim has become very popular for
window curtains and summer drap-
cries. 1t comes now with border
that is alike on both sides. 1t Is also
very effective when stenciled to har-
monte with the room.
Mirrors whose frames are battered
by use or otherwise in bad condition
may be converted into a real orna-
ment to a girls room by covering it
with cretonne or figured denium
Stretch the goods firmly over the
frame, mitering the edges, and fasten
it down at the back with upholstery
tacks.
The newest madras curtains nc
longer show the deep border at the
bottom of the curtain, but use as q
frieze. This is a pleasant variation
since one seldom notices the bottom
of curtains, and because the light
coming in through the varicoloret
decoration casts a glow over the
room, somewhat after the effect O
stained glass windows. Where the
curtains are too heavy, two of thu
panels may be used as drapery, hang
| ing from pole at each side of th,

Effect Of Alcohol on Cream.

somewhat and therefore gives too low
q reading of the per cent. of fat.
The suggestion has recently been
made by DR.. Babcock that this solvent
action of alcohol on fat can be over
come by first adding to the alcohol
all the fat 1t will dissolve, and then
pouring a small quantity of this fat
saturated alcohol on the top of the fat
column in the test bottle. The TOP
and the bottom of the fat column ap-
pear as nearly straight lines, giving
two exact points between which the
fat can be measured.
The diagrams illustrate the differ.
ence in appearance of the top Of the
fat column before and after using the
fat-saturated alcohol. Bottle No.
shows the top meniscus of the fat
which occupies a space between A
and B Of nearly one per cent. on the
scale. The test of this cream could
be read to 1870, 1876 or 200. depending
on the selection OF A, B or G as the
point to which the fat is read.
Bottle 2 shows the appearance OF
the top of the fat column after the fat.
saturated alcohol has been added
The alcohol Cd makes q nearly
straight line at the top of the fat
column, SO that the test can be read
at the point G without any uncertain
ty as to the height OF the fat column.
The fat-saturated alcohol is pre-
pared by adding about a teaspoonfu1
of butter fat to six ounces of alcohol
in bottle.
Warm and shake the bottle until the
alcohol has dissolved all the fat pos
sible; some of it will be left undis
solved at the bottom of the bottle.
This fat-saturated alcohol should bt
used for reading the tests as soon a.
they are completed, while the fat i.
still liquid.
A little shaking Of the test bottl,
after adding the alcohol will some
times make the line between the ia
and the alcohol more distinct.
