GRAND JUNCTION. Colo, Sept. "a
In a speech advocating the nomination
NJ Merle D. Vincent for governor OF
Colorado on the Republican ticket SEN
ator Joseph L. Bristow, of Kansas, last
night arraigned Senator Nelson w. Al
dricb. of Rhode Island, and Senator
sinon Guggenheim, of Colorado, for

ed Senators Guggenheim and Hughes Tor
fanure to support the long and snort
haul clause of the railroad bill.
speaking OF the position of Hughes ana
Cuggenheim on the long and short haul
clause of the railroad bill, Senator Bris-
tow said:
when we determined to put the long
and short haul clause in the railroad
hin we were threatened by Attorney
General wickersham with the veto OF the
hill I am informed that he did not
vote for Roosevelt, but for Parker; yet
he had the presumption TO read us out
of the Republican party. Why? Because
we fought for the interests of our con-
stituents and refused 70 bow to the
special interests.

War Times

Dear Mrs. FELTON,: AS see your name
in The Atlanta Semi-Weekly Journal, I
hope that you will see that this COM
munication is published: send it in
your name. I was a soldier in the. 10th
Georgia regiment, Company z, and was
In the battle at Jonesboro and was
wounded in the first days fight and cap
turned and carried to the field hospital.
From there they placed me in church
house with our wounded uStil Sherman
and Hood held an armistice, about five
days. When Sherman went back to At
lanta we were left in our ownmens
hands during the night. Our well men,
all but the doctor, were carried on,
and no one to give drink of water
while the cry was going up all over the
house until daybreak. There came in
woman with a bucket and dipper and
she took that house by rows, gave every
man a drink of water and the men COM
menced saying "God bless that good wo-
man that gave me that drink of water.
1 was taken out of that house at dark.
The taking out was kept up during that
day. From there we were all taken to
Macon and was placed in the city hall
until able to travel. I have never seen
one of the men that was in that house
since that day. If any one reads this
article that was there, write to me at

tablelands offer a climate that for uni
formity and delightfulness is excelled
nowhere, and there are millions of fertile
acres that are available for cultivation.
1t has been shown that oranges may
be grown In Mexico and sent to New
York, reaching there two full months
ahead of the California crop, and that
lemons flourish the whole year round. 1t
will be recalled that at the end of the
Boer war Mexico offered the Beers a
great stretch of territory in the state OF
Chihuahua. Many accepted the offer, and
the Boer colony in Chihuahua is now one
of the most interesting farming communi-
ties of the whole republic. Among those
who came over was General Vlljoen, and
sturdy race of Viljoens is growing up.
Only lately Senior Enrique Creel late am
bassador to the United States, stood god
father for the latest arrival In the VII
joen family.
One of the influences retarding Next
can growth is the .peon and his pitiable
condition. He lives in dirt, squalor and
ignorance, but is as ready to assist a
friend as he is to resent a wrong or
avenge an insult He works like Trojan
II encouraged, but shirks like a Hottentot
IL bullied He has no ambition to be
rich, or to climb the ladder of intelli-
gence As long as he has his tortillas well
baked and plenty of pulque to drink he
cares little for progress or the betterment
of his own condition.
Pulque Is the national drink OF the Mex
lean. It is made from a plant known as
the American aloe, or sometimes as the
century plant, from the fact that 1t
blooms so rarely. The pulque plant is
a specie of the makguey plant, which
supplies the Mexican with his paper,
his vinegar, his molasses, his rope, his
house roof and his drink, to say nothing
of the fat worms that are extracted from
the stock and eaten by the Indians as
the piece de resistance of their meals.
When the old pulque plant withers null
titude of suckers spring up. These are set
out and in from seven to ten years
reach the blooming stage. The large
blooming stock is cut of and a hollow
formed in the stem, from which is gath
cred from 10 to Is pints of unfermented
juice every day for two or three months.
This Juice is mixed with mother pulque
to hasten fermentation, after which 1t
is ready for drinking. AS 1t Is neither
pleasing to the smell nor to the taste, and
Is prepared under conditions that are far
from sanitary anything well can be,
few Americans drink IL.
No land in the New World offers great
er attractions for the tourist, better ad
vantages for the health seeker, Cafer
conditions for the intelligent investor,
or more promise for a rich future than
Mexico. The greatest feeling of inter-
national comfy exists between 1t and
cur own republic. and in celebrating its
centennial year 1t is the hope of the gov
eminent at Washington that together
they may so direct the trend of interna-
tional events in Pan-America that by the
time of the second Mexican centennial
the New World may lead the Old in all
lines OF human progress.

A Little Talk on Temperance
Listen to a parable:


"A great and deadly serpent entered
into house and made. its abode in a
hole in the wall. The family was great
ly alarmed. and the neighbors came run
ming TO know what was the matter. A
snake. a deadly snake, has coIne here TO
live, oh, what shall we dor Said one,
Have the house thoroughly whitewasn-
ed Said another, 'Havs IT painted, too,
and send for carpenter to mend all
the doors and windows Said third.
Send for a teacher who viii tell you now
to be good moral people, Well, the house
was whitewashed and painted, and the
teacher told them how to be moral and
the family, feeling safe, ate, drank and
slept in the house in peace. About a
month afterwards, one dark night, when
all were asleep, the snake came out of
his hole and bit the fath-. and he died
Two nights after the reptile bit the son
and he died, too"
Plainly interpreted the snake here al
Iluded to is the craving appetite and in
herited thirst for intoxicants. You have
seen the result and the deadly erect

most elegant entertainments were given,
where pride of birth was manifested all

knew all the rules of etiquette to the end

Tomorrow President Porfirio Diaz, Of
Mexico, and President William Howard
Taft of the United States, will celebrate
their birthdays. General Diaz will then
become an octogenarian, while President
Taft will attain to his 53rd year. 1t is a
singular coincidence that General Diaz,
who has done so much to perpetuate the
liberty of Mexico should have been born
on the very eve of the Mexican fourth OF
July. He was born on the day preceding
the second decade of Mexican indepen-
dence, for II was on the 18th of Sep

The Man With a Crouch

A late writer tells the story of a dis
gruntled man who went to bed and
stayed there 81 years. He refus-
ed to speak to anybody. He would rise
at night, walk about in the dark. and eat
what had been brought to him, and
where nobody might see him. Finally he
died. and everybody felt relieved that he
was gone out of everybody's way.
This reads like an extreme case. Per-
haps ii was. But / also knew a man
who went to bed and stayed there ten
years until death relieved him of his
Crouch and his associates of his pres
ence. This would seem to be poor way
of amusing anybody. Cutting off his
nose to spite his face, according to an
old proverb.
What was his crouch good for. If Ii
was not to render him miserable day and
night? When he went out and was
done with ii. nobody wanted 1t. and so
far as could be discovered, 1t had hurt
nobody so much as his own poor self
always miserable and lonely.
1t is a lamentable fact that a great
many people are grouchy-always unhap-
py-always out of sorts; but they are
their own worst enemies.
After awhile we discover that the best
thing to do is to leave the grouchers to
themselves, II IL is possible 10 co SO.
But, unfortunately, there are some who
have no other place to live, and the fam
fly is burdened down with the load of
their disagreeableness What, then,
should we do under heavy pressure of
that kind? imply bear II as gracefully
as possible and then do your utmost so
as not to allow the grouchers TO make
you likewise miserable and burden to
others. Discomfort is largely habit
and one that will soon develop into
crouch which can send silly people to
bed because they are too disagreeable

THE PIGMIES
Hercules Just Laughed When They Stuck Him With
Their Tiny Swords

1t is doubtful If there ever lived upon
the earth another such giant as was
Antaeus. He was so extremely tall that
and so strong that a giant pine tree
served as his walking stick.
But in spite of his great size and
strength he always continued on good
terms with the little nation of pigmies
that swarmed around his feet, and was
dearly beloved by them. In fact, he
was the chief ally of these little people,
not one OF whom was taller than toad
stool.
He used to help them in their battles
with the cranes, and would sit in the
sun on hot summer day and let the
pigmies play in his shade; or If he took a
nap. the playful little fellows played hide
and-seek in his hair, ran races around the
one big eye in the middle of his forehead
and explored his ears.
One day a pigmy looked out across the
pigmy plains and saw a huge man ap-
preaching. 1t was Hercules. Hastily
they summoned Antaeus to protect them
from the new giant, and with bound he
sprang up and struck at the stranger with
his pine tree. Hercules lodged the blow
and struck back laying the big giant low.
But back Antaeus bounded, and went at
the fight hotter than ever. He was a
peculiar giant, for every time he touched
the earth his strength doubled. You can
see that at such rate he would soon
have been stronger than a dozen such
opponents as Hercules. Hercules, how
ever, guessed the secret of the giant,
and grasping him around the waist,
raised him up off the ground. When off
the ground the strength rapidly left him,
and soon he was laid low for the last
time by Hercules.
OF course the pigmies were enraged at
the destroyer of their ally, and with one
accord made war. But their tiny swords

didn't even puncture his tough skin. and
he didn't know what they were trying
to do until one little fellow, with an espe-
cially loud voice, elamored into his ear
and challenged MIN to deadly combat.
Hercules was much amused, and after a
hearty laugh he promised his assailants
that he would not modest them. But to
this day, back in the pigmy nation, these
little creatures recall the tradition of
how their ancestors worsted Hercules.
