PIPE DREAMER ON HERALD IS
 0N THE J0B
Stories That Rival Those of Modern Fiction Are Turned Out By the Big Mexican Newspaper

The Mexican Herald. which recent ly published story about goats get ting drunk on the marihuana plant and jumping about wildly and refus- ing to eat, has found another one that beats the goats. Here it is:
 That he is not the only cattle man since the days of Leban and the lat ter's shrewd son-inlaw, Jacob. who has been cheated out of his kine by striped sticks and bewitched herbs, was brought to the attention of Mr. Maldonado of Celaya last night by a guest at the Dos Mundcs hotel MT. Maldonado, 1t will be temem- | bered, is the owner of a herd or goats near Celaya which he fears losing through the latter taking to marihuana diet.

ONE THOUSAND WERE PRESENT
 AT CONVENTION
Delegates to the Presidential Meeting Say Clouds Are Gathering On Mexican Polit- ical Horizon

FL PASo. April 13.-A. L. Torres, Y. l.. Almeda, F. A. Seldner, Vide fonso Salido and G. R. Romay, dele gates from the state of Sonora to the national presidential convention held recently Tn the City of Mexico. have just passed through Fl Paso on their return. The convention was com posed of 1000 delegates and was ab- solutely unanimous for President Diaz for another term and practical iy unanimous for the continuance in office of Vice President Ramon Cor ral.
 At the same time there are omi- nous clouds gathering on the Mexican political horizon
 Diaz has now been president for 27 consecutive years; he is now S2 years Sld. or far beyond the usual span of life. If he were to die tomorrow or at any time during his present or coming presidential term, chaos would undoubtedly come again in Mexico.
 The foremost. perhaps contend ng possible successor to Diaz is Gen Reyes the present governor of the state of Neuvo Leon, whose capital is Monterey. Reyes has been com mander-in-chief of the Mexican army and is still so popllar with the sol. diers, it is said, that it is thought he would have no fficulty in secur- ing the support of the army to his presidential pretensioDs.
 Grave fears are therefore enter tained, it is said. Of a turbulent and bloody revolution in Mexico in case of the death of President Diaz.
 Such a revolution would more over, have an effect far beyond act ual Mexican political affairs them selves. as Mexico is now permeated with investments of American, Eng hsh, German, French and other for eign capital, whose immense financial interests would be jeopardized by any national military Mexican change of government or even more or less temporary disturbance.
 Such a possible Mexican military revolution would therefore. doubtless eliminate in the interference of Uncle Sam in the protection of his own and delegated European financial inter ests and the practical occupation of Mexico by American troops until the country could be placed again upon a legitimate international basis.
 Another complication in the matter is the fact that there is a large pop ular party in Mexico which thinks that President DiaZ during his long term of office. could have abolished the peonage system by distributing the national public lands in small tracts to the present peon inhabitants Instead of selling or disposing of them in concessions to outside capital.
 The death of Diaz, it is stated, may also mean the death of the Mexican republic as at present organized and constituted

some,Imes Hard to Tell.

George Eliot says that the expres- sion on a woman's face when she IS sewing tells the story of the woman's heart If she is happy and contented, or possibly slovenly and indifferent she may smile and look the happi- ness she either feels or Is incapable of feeling. If she has many things to worry her and is possibly planning how to make ten cents do a dollar worth of good, or if she is naturally vixen, it will show in her face, so ait CT all it is not safe to predicate as to what her sewing face reveals.

Greatest Ar. of a Politician,

IL Is a very easy thing to devise good laws; the difficulty is to make them effective. The great mistake is that of looking upon men as virtu- ous, or thinking that they can be made so by laws; and consequently the greatest art of politician is to render vices serviceable to the cause of virtue.-Lord .Bolingbroke.

Women work in many of the manu- facturies in France, about 40 being employed in the De Dion works at Draper Iathes. It is the first time that women have been intrusted with high-grade machines in that country. One woman was found who had worked at a Gleason gear-cutter for four years steadily, with the exception of a few weeks when she was injured.

Hints, Small But Important.

The flavor of any dish that calls for
mixed spices may be greatly improved
IL the spices are mixed several months
before they are to be used. The best
way is to keep a certain amount of
mixed spices always on hand. A good
proposition is as follows: Two table,
spoonfuls of powdered cinnamon, one
tablespoonful of powdered mace. one
OF grated nutmeg and one of powdered
cloves. This should be mixed thor
oughly and put away in an alright
tin, from which the cook can take out
as much as she wants at n time.

THE CANDLE BACK IN FAVOR.
Artistic Holders Employed for the H.
Iumlnants OF Past
0eneration.

The woman whose aim is to reveal
q touch of the artist in her home Just
at present is Interested in the old
fashioned candlestick. 1t is a revival
as happy in Its way as that OF the re-
turn to favor of Sheffield or pewter
ware. The candle held its own against
the oil lamp, but lost its popularity
when gas came in, and 1t was practi-
eally outlawed when electricity came
into general use. Now, however. many
women OF society are using candles ex'
tensively. One society leader, in fact,
has gone to the extreme of having
electric fixtures removed from several
rooms, relying entirely upon candles
for lighting. These candles she dis
plays in antique candlesticks of beaten
brass. Tall Russian candlesticks now
are seen on many library tables and
tall silver colonial sticks are on many
dressing tables. New candlesticks are
shown in pottery and wrought iron,
but antiques are first In favor. The
prices of old brass candlesticks have
advanced greatly in the last few weeks
and few now are to be found in the
antique shops.
