A RARE LITTLE MAIDEN.
Alice Whaley Of San Diego, Cal, is
thirteen years old and Carnegie med
al heroine.
1t all happened at Ocean Beach last
summer.
Many people were bathing In the
surf. Little seven-year-old Bruce Nc
Kenzie was about to lose his life when,
at great risk to herself, Alice seized
him.
Then, with rare discretion, she got
the little boy to take hold OF her long
braided hair, and while he thus chung
she swan back with him to safety.
For this unique rescue the trustees
Of the Carnegie hero fund singled her
out for a medal and $1,000 besides for
her education.
And the beauty about the whole mat
ter is the admiration of her friends
has not turned the head of the brave
child an iota. She is the same sweet,
simple child as before.
OF course the newspapers have both
cred her concerning interviews, and
she talks naively Of her future.
She doesn't know whether she will
be a great nurse like Florence Night
ingale or a Yirtuoso.
Listen:
Il think perhaps we shall take some
Of the money and get piano so 1 can
take lessons. l play the violin, and
piano lessons will help me. / have al
ways thought I should like to be a
trained nurse. 1t must be nice taking
care Of poor, sick people. But don't
know yet what shall be-"
Blessings on the lassie, with her fine
innocence of the future
Alice studies at a convent and
doesn't bother her head about the
boys. She says:
1--WE aren't allowed to look over the
fence at ordinary people, to say moth
ing Of looking at boys. Mother says
can't marry till I'm twenty-five years
old. She says she was married at sew
enteen and that I must profit by her
experience"
Concerning which one devoutly hopes
that Alice Whaley at twenty-five may
be as unspoiled as she is at thirteen.
Perhaps that is too much to expect.
/ But
| Whether this rare little maid shall
some day respond to encores on the
concert stage, or whether her heroism
shall minister to the sick and suffering
IN q great hospital, or whether her
gracious, strong, pure soul shall bless q
fortunate husband, or whether some
brute shall marry her and break her
heart, Alice Whaley, little heroine, de.
serves well Of the years that are yet
to be.

SUCCESSOR TO D|Az
Mexico Concerned Over Coming
Vice-PresidentiaI Election.
Ramon Corral, Protege Of Diaz, and
Con. Reyes, Idol Of Army, Lead
Ing Candidates Now, With Jose
limantour a Possibility.

City OF Mexico-What is quite gen.
orally conceded to be equivalent to a
campaign for the presidency of Mex.
leo is now being waged in this coun.
try, the contestants being Ramon
Corral, the present vice.president, and
Gen. Bernardo Reyes, governor of the
state of Nuevo Leon. These men are
active candidates for vice-president.
The election Is not until next year,
and the race promises to become very
exciting by that time.
President DiaZ. who has agreed to ac-
cept the presidency for another term
of six years, will be so years old Sep
tember 15, 1910. and 1t can hardly be
expected that he will live out his term
of office. 1t is for this reason that
so much Importance is attached to the
election of a vice-president.
The vice-presidency of Mexico was
created by an amendment to the con-
stitution six years ago, and Ramon
Corral was the first man elected to
that Office. His election was mere
formality, as he was in reality selected
for the place by President Diaz. who
is said to have had him in training
with the view of making him his sue
cessor. Vice-President Corral was re-

tion insisted in voting for Gen.
Reyes. and others wanted to support
Jose Ives Limantour. present minis
ter Of finance. but the Corral adher-
ents were in the majority and their
candidate was nominated.
The nomination OF Gen. Reyes for
vice-president has not been done in
the usual convention form. He has
been put up for the Office by means Of
numerously signed petitions by his
friends and admirers all over the
country. 1t was originally planned
that he was to be candidate for
president, but when Diaz reconsidered
his intention of not again being n
candidate for the high office. 1t was
decided that Reyes should make the
race against Corral for vice-president
The anti-American issue promises
to become largely involved in this
campaign. Supporters of Gen. Reyes
are already making an open charge
that 1t was through Mr.. Corral that

treasury notes were issued Just as
they came from the press. As result
the tibers soon began to break through
the surface of the paper. and as each
bit of fiber dropped from the bill the
ink began to fade. so that within two
weeks after the first bill was issued
the treasury had to begin to redeem
the tattered notes and issue new ones.
II was then that a committee appoint
ed to examine into methods OF the
treasury department suggested that
all paper on which banknotes were
printed should be resized after print

factor in this particular reform, and
II is to him that the present pleasing
