the church with colony of Spaniards
and Indians. They went through a
period of great privation on account
of crop failures and the losses of
their live stock by an epidemic of dis
ease. A store of food supplies was
sent to their relief from the City of
Mexico. and the priest received per-
mission direct from the king Of Spain
to establish crude mint for coming
copper money for the relief of the
financial condition of the colony
These coins were cut in triangular
shape and were issued to the Indians
and members Of the colony with the
promise that they would be redeemed,
coin for coin, by the government when
the settlement became prosperous.
These copper pieces were perhaps
the first clearinghouse certificates
ever issued.
The Indians. however, brought the
financial relief scheme to a sudden
end by counterfeiting great numbers
OF the copper pieces, which they pre-
sented for redemption. The priest

In after years the parish Of this an

smelter and engaged in mining and
smelling copper ore on a large scale.
The Stag pile of this ancient smelter
was found not far from the church a
few years ago and the smelter at
Saltillo bought and treated the Stag
at good profit.
An American contractor who built
railroad near the church made the
owner of the property an offer Of
$1,000 for the cornerstone in the
building. 1t is said to contain ancient
relics of almost priceless value. The
offer was refused. At present the in.

Egypt as their country, where Ella

When she was 16 Miss Converse left
Eau Claire and went abroad with

Paris several years. studying French

some day she might go into grand

HER MOTHER-IN-LAw

Proved . Wise, Good Friend.
A young woman out in Iowa found
wise, good friend in her mother-in-law,
jokes Notwithstanding. She writes:
'It is two years since we began using
Postum in our house. l was greatly
troubled with my stomach, complexion
was blotchy and yellow. After meals
1 often suffered sharp pains and would
have to lie down. My mother often told
me it was the coffee drank at meals.
But when I'd quit coffee I'd have a
severe headache.
"While visiting my mother-in-law
remarked that she always made such
good coffee, and asked her to tell me
how. She laughed and told me 1t was
easy to make good coffee when you use
Postum.
st began to use Postum as soon as
I got home, and now we have the same
good coffee (Postum) every day, and
have no more trouble. Indigestion is
a thing of the past, and my complexion
has cleared up beautifully.
"My grandmother suffered a great
deal with her stomach. Her doctor told
her to leave off coffee She then took
tea, but that was just as bad.
"She finally was induced to try
Postum, which she has used for over a
year. She Travelled during the winter
over the greater part of Iowa, visiting,
something she had not been able to do
for years. She says. she owes her pres

GUS indifference to a pitiless bitter
ness. He has no compassion for the
imperfections Of humanity.
His service to mankind has been
done in spite of himself. That he
voices the thoughts of the down-trod-
den is logical and involuntary. The
bitterness of the oppressed and the
cynicism of the satiated is identical.
In the final analysis TOlstoi is an
illustrious example of the most highly
finished product Of egotism.
To be the voice of all Russia would
be more impossible than to be the lit
erary voice of these United States.
You have your hordes Of undigested
peoples mingling with a native strain
that is composed of various national
tiles modified by numerously different
physical environments. l have found
that when you speak of the American
in the eastern section of the country
you No more mean the American in
the west or in the south than we
mean the Turkoman of our empire
when we speak Of the Right Russian.
1t is impossible for any writer to
interpret people with whom he has
no sympathy of consanguinity. 1t
would palpably be impossible for any
one writer to be the literary voice Of
an empire made up of Germans, Per-
slams, Turkomen, Ruthenians, Lithuan-
ians. Poles, Great and Little Russians,
Jews and still others.
But there is the dominant strain Of
the Muscovite and the writer who
makes you feel that you know this
element has taught you to understand
the Russian.
AS 1 have said before, Tolstoi does
not interpret this Russian. In fact,
in my opinion, he portrays no human
type What he writes is for universal
humanity about universal humanity.

From Indifference TOIstOi Has Pro-
crossed to PitiIess Bitterness.
There is a deeply fixed idea in the
mind of the average cultured American
that Tolstoi is the great spokesman for
the heart and soul of Russia, writes
Wassily Safanoff, the great Russian
musician. 1t is assumed that his thun-
derous protest against the injustice In
the world is the fruit of an all enfOld-
ing love for humanity.
With all due respect TO my illustrious
friend and countryman, L must say
that in my opinion both conclusions
are wrong. Tolstoi evinces no racial
sympathy with the Russians, nor does
he love mankind. He is a humanist,
not a humanitarian. His communistic
experiments are the cynical diversions
Of a master misanthrope. They are
like the amusements Of a lad who
slowly dismembers a living fly to see
what it will do when it is deprived Of
its organs.
If you wish to convince yourself or
the truth Of my assertions you have
but to compare the bitter exposition
he makes Of life in his later works
with the milder attacks in his earlier
books. AS he has grown older he has
progressed from a cynically contemptu-
