TOO MANY HOLIDAYS A YEAR.
Crusade Begun by Oaxaca (Mex.)
Business Men For More Work,

In the state of Oaxaca. Mexico, a
crusade by the business men has been
started against the observance of so
many fiestas, or holidays. While in
123 feast days in the year, in Oaxaca
there are 16S, and business men there
find great deal of difficulty in having
work done.
In the City of Mexico the invasion of
so many American, British, French
and German merchants has caused a
revolution in the matter of holidays,
and the number has been cut down,
but still there are more than 100 days
in year which are observed and on
which all business houses are closed
at least part of the day.

A Busy Mierobe.

Down where the riIe bananas
On friendly branches swing,
Where presidents hold office
BY methods Of king.
The revolution microbe
Is stirring with the spring.
For one who loves adventure
Or who for power has need.
Three privates and a captain
Is ample force. indeed,
To make a revolution
Revolve with dizzy speed.
They do not need the ballot
Elections to decide.
They settle things by rifles,
With axes on the side.
Bring out a show OF f1intlocks
And into office slide.
The game by strong arm methods
Without reproof they play.
And for a little season
The victor has his day.
The revolution microbe
Must have its little way.
