C.. p, Moss Visits Mexico.

C. P. Moss, president OF the New
Iberia Extract of Pepper Co., which
makes the celebrated Tobasco sauce
is in Mexico on business for his firm.
He kindly SEN us a copy OF the Mex
leo City Daily Record, from which we
extract the following mention OF his
visit to the Mexican capitol:
From the frozen regiors OF the
yuron vail. to equatoriai 2limes, IN
all parts of the civilized and seml-ciV
ilized world, the traveller will ind on
bote, tables a small bottle filled with
a red LIQUID bearing the familiar Ia
bel. "Tobasco." The curious will dis
cover on examining these labels that
the bottles all come from the town OF
New Iberia, La, which is the modern
name for the place made famous by
Longfellow in his "Evangeline" as
Bayou Teche.
Although the Tobasco pepper IS IN

The Opera in History.

In one sense the opera is one OF the
Oldest forms Of entertainment, for its
origin is to be found in the old Greek
drama. In it's modern sense, however,
It dates from the year 1900, when Peri
produced the first true Italian opera to
grace the festivities of the marriage of
Henry Nv. of France and Maria de
Nedici. The work attracted great at
tention, and many Italian mobiles fig
ured in the cast. In France the opera
was the outcome of the ballet and in
England of the masque. Purcell is en-
titled to the honor of producing the
drst real English opera, although one
Of Ben Jonson's Mosques was set to
music as early as 1917.

Poor Tired Doggy.

Little four-year-old Marian was
walking enc day with her mother
when she saw a dachshund for the
first time. Like all dogs of that class
his body was long and his legs very
short.
Marian gazed at him with wide-open
eyes for a moment, then said excited
": "Oh mother, mother, look at that
queer doggy with legs at each cornell
of him, Was his legs long once,
mother, and did they get wored down

INDIANS WHO LIKE lUXURIES.
Some Furnish Their Homes With
Opera Chairs and Others Travel
in a Hearse.

Nowhere is the Indians simple
mindedness more apparent than in
the homes. They are either devoid
of furniture or crowded with incum-
brances. The occupants possess iron
and brass bedsteads or display as
their chief treasure a highly polished,
deliberately carved f%olding-bed, never
used. Rolling themselves in blankets
they seek repose on the floor.
One home boasts Is its principal
furniture four opera-chairs OF uphol-
stored leather, with movable seats,
such as are to be found in any thea
ter.
A Spokane Indian was the proud
possessor of a black hearse, bearing
four huge ornamental sable plumes
Riding his cayuse into town n day
he encountered a funeral. The hearse
caught his fancy; he followed the pro
~cession, awestruck to the cemetery
Nothing would do but that he mus
have the grand chariot for his own
Disposing Of some land he purchased
the hearse and was wont to take hi
wife and mero children out To-
a drive sitting on the floor OF thu
hearse, bouncing from glass side t.

The Cane Crop.

Louisiana Planter:
The weather at this writing is en-
tirely too cool to be either seasonable
or satisfactory to the sugar planters,
who know that it is a high tempera-
ture that the young canes want now.
The cool wave was preceded by a
good, soaking rain, which was bene-
fetal, though a little more water than
was necessary vas had. The crop is
in good shape, and the field in good
condition, and the young canes very
well advanced in general.

A Bill of Jokers.
New Orleans States:

New Orleans States:
AS the consideration of the Payne
Tariff bill proceeds the fact becomes
more apparent that it is a bill full OF
"iokers." The New York Financial
Chronicle, a recognized authority IN
The business world, asserts that a care
FIJI examination of the measure has
caused a shock to the dry goods inter-
ests generally because Of the radical
changes that have been made in the
textile schedules. Among other things
the bill changes the method OF count
ing cotton cloth for tariff purposes
which will materially increase the du-
ty on such goods.
At first it was generally understood
that the silk schedule had not been
| altered but many important changes
have been discovered, while the ex-
| tent of the proposed duties on hosiery
was a distinct surprise. Moreover the
new provisions covering yarns, linens
and woods are giving much concern to
those interests. Similar reports are
| coming from nearly all lines of bust
ness, and the country has reached the
conclusion that no tariff bill ever
| drawn was so full of "jokers" as in the
PAYNE bill. So far as affording relief
to is concerned the meas
ure is denounced a fraud from be
ginning to end. The bill merely tells
the same old story of tariff graft bu,
in different and misleading language.

COULDN'T SEE II As I'D Ci-.
Why Old Man Wowton Lost tn
Services Of His Laborers.

Old man Wowton, the meanest citi'
drove up to the market place In Lex
ington, where an army of negroes
stood about or lay, basking In the
early morning sun waiting for some
man to hire them. The old mar was
so stingy that he usually had great
difficulty in engaging negroes to DO
extra work on his farm, but this time
he struck a bargain Immediately with
big Bill Saunders and the half dozen
powerful but lazy blacks who followed
at his heels. All the others were
greatly surprised to see this gang
ambling out on the big road toward
Mr.. Wowton's place. Next morning
they were mystified to see big Bill and
his cronies again in the market place.
"Whadja doin' hyuh, Bill?" asked
Hannibal Harrison Tyler.
"Lookin' TO wuk," Bill replied,
sadly.
