Mayor Guthrie, at dinner in Pitts

exposed:
1T was not such n difficult work to
catch them as some people think. Guilty
men, you see, always betray themselves
through their continued efforts to appear
innocent.
Thus a Philadelphia professor from
the University of Oxford, at banquet
here one night drank several glasses of
port. The professor did not know this
wines extraordinary strength, and in all
innocence he took too much. When he
rose to leave the table, his legs, to his
dismay, tottered, and the room seemed
to sway slightly
"The Mortified professor got to the par
lor safely. He sat down in the most dis
tant corner. But soon his young hostess,
leading a maid who carried her two
beautiful twin babies, came to him for
his appreciation.
THE professor sat up very erect He
gazed at the twins classify. Then he ar
ticulated carefully, in hoarse, thick
voice:

The Mexican Indian hutS in the vil-
lagos and upon the ranches of the low
er Rio Grande border region of Texas
have n style of architecture and CON
struction that is distinctly their own.
This type of primitive building is
rapidly passing out of existence. Mod
ern structures are taking their places.
At many places on the border families
of Mexicans have abandoned their
jacals and moved into more pretentious
homes.
One thing that recommends the old
style of residence to the poorer Mex
leans was its cheapness of construc.
ton. No money outlay Is necessary in
erecting the picturesque structures /;
neither is n knowledge of carpentry
needed. A double row of upright poles
firmly set or driven into the ground,
forms the framework for the walls.
Between these two rows of poles are
placed other poles or sticks of shorter
length, forming a thick and compact
wall At each Of the four corners of
the building posts are set, reaching to
height of about eight feet. Roughly
hewn stringers are laid from one post
to another, and to these stringers are
tied other poles that form the frame
work of the walls The strong fiber
from the maguey plant or strips of
buckskin are used to tie the poles
into position. The rafters are tied
to the ridge-pole and the stringers in
the same manner. At one end of the
building is built the opening through
which the smoke of the inside fire may
ascend. Stoves are unknown among
these MeXiCans, and the cooking is all
done upon the ground.-Kansas City

FOX AND A VIXEN.

Follower of Hounds Tells "a Strange
Story of Animal Devotion.
l had attended the meet of the Sur
rey Union fOxhounds at Burford Bridge
Hotel at II a. IN. ton Boxing day., and
after following them until 1915 started
to cycle home for lunch, says a writer
in Country Life. When some two miles
from Ranmore church | struck a small
road leading toward Effingham village
and at once decided to ride that way
in the hope of seeing hounds again.
This narrow road winds through a
small wood upon entering which I
heard view halloos and hounds in full
cry some distance to windward l de-
termined to wait here. as the spot
seemed likely one, and propping my
machine against tree took careful
cover
After some few minutes a stealthy
movement in the leafy woodland drew
my attention, and within five yards of
me there passed a dog fox. evidently
Sunted and dead tired. He paused in
the roadway some fifteen yards in front
of where | stood, when to my astonish-
ment he was joined by vixen, appar-
emily quite fresh.
They trotted ON up the pathway for
twenty yards side by side, looking for
all the world as if they were holding
a whispered conversation. when to my
surprise the vixen turned back DELHI
erately in their tracks for about fifteen
yards, crossing and recrossing in order.

as possible on her own line She then
returned TO where she had left her hus-
band. Upresume he must have been her
husband, as there seemed to be such
perfect understanding between them) q,
and on reaching that point made off in
the opposite direction.
/ eagerly waited for the hounds to
come up, which they did in a few min
uteS. Three of them seemed doubtful
but after a momentary pause appeared
convinced that the new trail was the
right one and all departed after the
lady with fresh zest and much music.
l fancy this must have been most salts
factory to poor. weary Reynard. who
was still within my sight. creeping
stifly down the adjoining hedgerow.
| wondered what would be the fate Of
the devoted vixen and could not heIp
hoping she would escape, in which case
| would have given much to see the re-
union.

Centuries.
LONG IN THE ROMAN EMPIRE
Mohammedanisr and Christianity
of Late Contesting for Control
of Ottoman Capital.

Since its first colonization, 2,575
years ago, If ancient dates may be
trusted, the city at the southern end
of the channel between the Black Sea
and the Sea Of Marmora, first known
as Byzantium and for the last loo
years called Constantinople, has been
a center of conflict between the East
and the West-between Asiatic and
European ideas. The present conflict
is nothing different In this respect
from the most aneient--it is the antag-
onism between Aslatic Mohammedan-
ism and European free thought and
free action, as represented In the young
Turk element that has caused the
downfall Of Abdul Hamid.
Byzantium was settled, 1t is record
ed, by Greek traders, in the year S67
b. G. Two natural causes made 1t
early prominent as a trading point-it
was an economic center for the grain
trade of the regions bordering on the
Black Sea. and the Golden Horn gave
rich rewards to fishermen besides offer

Center of Many Wars.
Byzantium was the subject Of strug
giles between the early Greek states It
was captured and recaptured many
times and finally became a tributary
to imperial Rome. The remains Of the
ancient city have never been adequate
ly explored; there are miles of tunnels,
ancient streets and fragments Of build
ings buried under the modern Constan-
tiople, which is virtually a city upon
the grave of a city
In the year $50 A. d. the Emperor
Constantine determined to make a new
capital for the Roman Empire. He Sc
lected for this purpose Byzantlum

to the east across the Bosporus The
Bosporus is here about a mile wide !:
the Golden Horn, an inlet or harbor
some eight miles long, is from one
third to one-half mile wide. Galata is
the modern port of commerce and is
connected with Stamboul by two pom
toon bridges. Back of it lies Pera,
another ancient settlement. and the
modern non Turkish residence quarter.

OF her approaching marriage with a

Gilbert congratulated the young WON

pressed his hearty wishes for her well

In no year since the development Of
Western Canada began has spring
brought a brighter outlook than it
brings this year. In no preceding
spring has there been greater assur-
ance of advancing development and
prosperity. The movement of immigra-
ton has already assumed large proper
lions, and is as desirable in character
as it is satisfactory in volume; from
across the Atlantic sturdy, industri-
Gus and thrifty newcomers are arriv-
ing in large numbers, homeseekers
from Ontario and the other older
provinces are coming in a steady
stream, and from across the interna-
tional boundary a movement is already
in full flow which, it is confidently
predicted, will beat the records of all
previous years; special settlers trains
are crossing the line, loaded with eff
fects, actual material wealth being
thus brought into the country at the
rate of millions of dollars worth

large that extra Dominion Immigra-
ton officials have had to be provided
at both North Portal and at Emerson,
and it is estimated that the total num-
Der of new settlers from the United
States this year will be 10000 at least,
and may run well up toward 100000.
Last years total of new settlers from
the South was 1923; thus the area
that viii be placed in wheat and other
grains this year will greatly exceed
that of last year. Settlers are making
extraordinary efforts to get on their
lands and begin seeding operations.
The price of wheat now, away above
the dollar mark, is incentive enough,
and when one has in view the splen-
did results that the past few years
have shown, it is not to be wondered
at that the present will be the banner
year for immigration to Canada. Ask
