Tho Final Word,

1t Is related Of Phil Spayce, the
minor author, that he never is long at
a loss for smile, drawing freely up
on his personal experiences. When
he seeks to indicate the i'll humor of
his characters he does not write:
They were az cross as two sticks"
or they were as mad as hornets" or
"they were as angry as demons"
For these be phrases all too hack.
neyed. Rather does this keen observer
pen It:
They were as snappy as a man and
wife who have spent Sunday in flat
hunting"
And with this the final word has
been spoken.

oak, near Paisley. Scotland, is known
to be more than 700 years old, and
there are eight olive trees on the

Baobab trees OF Africa have been com.
puted to be more than 5000 years old,

chain Of circumstances.
Briefly it was like this: The fiat

Of his wife, who was out to a bridge

for fear there wasn't going to be any

then telephoned to tie home where
the bridge session had been held. They
told him the other wing Of his house
had started home an hour or two he
fore. Then he called up the neighbors
and all the places where his wife
might have dropped In. But he only
became more convinced that she was
lost or killed-run over by a street
car or something. He began to make
the round of the hospitals and am
bulance lines on the phone.
Then the door opened-this was an
hour or more after the dinner hour
and his wife entered. she had been in
the flat right below. Why hadn't she
come home? Why, she lad come home
just after he did. But when she
reached their door. and heard him at
the telephone she jumped to the con-
clusion that he had brought some
friend home with him and was talking
to him. And there wasn't a thing in

once and gave us a lengthy audience,
IN which we DISCUSSED with him every
phase of the situation which had
brought US to Mexico City. We there
learned that Mr. Corral is also chair
man Of the Government Junta to buy
cereals. Finally he said that the
Government would entertain no prop
OsltlOn to buy rice, wheat, or any
other cereal, except corn and the
beans OF the country: that the law did
not permit the buying of other cereals,
and even if the law did, the Cover
ment would have no means to compel
the destitute to buy rice from the
Government and substitute it for corn,
when they were not accustomed to the
former cereal
After pricing rice both in Torreon
and Mexico City | found the price of
equal grades to be about the same as
in the United States. The upper
classes eat rice nearly every day with
soup, but it is too dear for the lower
classes, who have not learned to use
1t on that account, corn being cheaper.
The fact that the lower classes (who
constitute the great majority of the
people DO not use rice, accounts for
the small amount of rice used in
Mexico.

all present when he said that if there
is anything we should be proud of it
is our water works system. The
receipts from the 'Klondyke Spring

creasing yearly and in five years at
