THE interest which Lycius had man.

of Sirach, and during the days which
followed their conference in the gar
den he had given himself up to much
thought and research, digging I'D the
dusty old scrolls of the history of his
people and running through them with
new interest and eagerness.
Il believe Lycius was right when he
said that it was wrong not to give
these records to the people. What II

New Russian Temperance Law.

Russia will have a temperance meas
ure well worth while, If the proposal
now under discussion passes the
douma, says the Home Herald. It's
purpose is 20 restrict the consumption
of intoxicating liquors by increasing
the capacity of the smallest measure
which can be sold to onefortieth of a
kilderkin. (about one-half gallon) and
reducing the number of places where
liquor can be bought. The inhabitants
Of villages are also given the privilege
to close existing public houses and TO
prohibit the opening of new ones,
while the local councils may restrict
the hours of sale. II is not known az
yet how the douma will line up on
the proposition, but the friends Of the
measure are cheercd by tlie fact that
the council of state has dGsided In ita
favor.

A novelty in balanced or self-sus

The tank isIoblong, narrow at the bot

The bottom of the tank is covered
with gravel, and set in the water is
suitable vegetation sufficient to please
the eye and to keep the water aerated.

GEMS FROM THE BOOK.

" thou hast understanding,
answer thy neishbor; II not,
lay thy hand upon thy mouth.
Be not called a whIsperer,
and lie not In walt with thy
tongue.
Pride Is tho beginning Of sin.
Forsake not an old friend;
for the new Is not comparable
to him.
Bear not hatred to thy neigh
Dor for every wrong; and do
nothing at all by Injurious
practices.
He that toucheth pitch shall
be defiIed therewlth; and he
that hath fellowship with q

Better Is he that hideth his

r. III. Hartman obtained from the
Mexican government a remarkably
favorable concession for the railroad
which he is building down the Pa
cific slope OF Mexico, and that the
great American railroad magnate will
draw from the public treasury of Mex
leo as a subsidy for building this road
more than $10,000,000. IL is claimed
that Mr.. Hartman has other great in
dustrial favors to ask Of the Mexican
government and that he is lending his
aid to bring about the election of Mr..
Corral TO another term as vice.presi-
dent and to ultimately elevate him to
the presidency.
Mr.. Corral, as vice president, per-
forms the dual duty OF minister Of the
interior. In this office he superylses
the internal affairs of the country, In
which many Americans, among them
Mr.. Hartman, are interested, but his
friends deny that he has extended any
unusual favors to any person.
Mr.. Corral is unpopular with the
army, and without it's united support
Mr.. Corral, or any other ruler Of Mex.

preserving peace and order. Gen.
Reyes is the idol Of the army His
bravery has been proved upon many
battlefelds lie also has the conf
dence and highest respect of a large
part Of the business element through
out the country. II is stated that Gen.
Reyes personally deplores the fact
that the antl-American issue has been
injected into the campaign. During
the long period that be has been con.
stitutiOnal governor Of the state OF
Nuevo Leon he has always extended
a warm welcome to the investment Of
American capital in that common.
wealth. Monterey. the capital OF the
state and the home OF Gen. Reyes.
is the most Americanized city in
Mexico. Many millions of dollars OF
American capital are invested there
in shelters and other large Industrial
enterprises. IL has been through the
liberal encouragement offered by Gen.
Reyes to investments of this charac.
ter that has caused that city TO grow
and prosper to a wonderful degree.

Are you forgetting to drink the
proper amount of water every day?
DO you drink two glasses before
breakfast?
You should.
But by all that is hygienic do not
take your water until your mouth has
been rinsed with an antiseptic and
your teeth thoroughly cleansed.
People who know tell us that an
acid forms during the night in the
mouth and around the teeth This acid
will decay the teeth, therefore com
mon sense tells us IT is not good for
the stomach; it certainly should not

Gen. Bernardo Reyes. governor OF the

TENDER Is. 1910. aud IL can hardly be
expected that he will live out his term
OF once. II Is for this reason that
so much importance is attached to the
election Of 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 ONCE. His election was a mere
formality. as he was In reality selected
for the place by President Diaz. who
is said to have had him in training

nomination was not unanimous. Ms
some OF the delegates to the conven.

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
candidate for the high office, 1t was
decided that Reyes should make the
race against Corral for vice.president.

to become largely involved in this

Background.

A FTERNOON tea on the porch is
IA one of the most pleasant features
possible on a summer day, and il
is essential that the appointments of
the tea table should be in keeping
with the shady GOODNESS of the porch.
For this cloth, simple designs and
materials of rather rustic texture
are the most effective, such as home
spun linen, linen huckabuck and crash.
Among the most attractive of the
tea cloths are those with the design

shown in the sketch. The water lily

COMPANY REFUSES
TO ACCEPT BONDS
Commercial Club viii Discuss condi-
tions at City Schools ia Regard
to Fires.

The condition existing at the city
schools IN regard to fire escapes. will
be discussed at the meeting OF the
Commercial club tonight, and it is
hoped that immediate relief from the
dangerous conditions win be obtained.
A member Of the school board stat
ed this morning that the fire escapes
had been ordered three months ago.
An order for escapes is not what the
children in the upper stories Of that
fire trap would need in case of a fire.
If the company from whom the ess
capes were ordered did not put them
in, an order should have been placed
with someone that would build the es-
capes at once. 1t is not enough that
the order be placed and then nothing
done.
It has also developed that the school
board has received notification that
the bonds voted for the erection Of
high school and ward school building
In this city. have been rejected by the
bond company to whom they We're
supposed to have been sold. The rea-
son for the rejection has not been as
signed.
This will mean that the bonds viii
have to be re-advertised and sold else
where, probably at lower price. The
price to have been paid was $l05 and
this was considered an excellent sale
