Editor Ell PaSo Herald:
There is so much being said about the
cause of the hard times that 1 would
like to express my views on the sub
ject, although 1 know l will be criti-
cised for being an "old fogy."
The loom and the spinning wheel
have been cast aside, and we throw
away the rags that would make pretty
rugs and carpets and buy expensive art
rugs and carpets. We throw away the
scraps that would make pretty and use
full quilts and buy comforts and spreads.
We have almost cast aside the sewing
machine and buy ready made clothing.
We throw away our meat scraps (soap
grease) and buy soap at cents a
bar.
Monday used to be wash day, and
mother and daughter rolled up their
sleeves and went into the soap suds
and by noon a beautiful washing was
on the line, the kitchen floor scrubbed
white. and an inviting dinner spread
that they had cooked. After the din
ner the dishes were washed, and moth
er and daughter sat in the cosy sitting
room and Pieced quilts or did some
fancy work.
Conditions Have Changed.
Now, to wash and scrub and cook is
considered mental drudgery. We send
our clothes to the laundry at 4 great
expense. We hire servants to cook and
scrub, make beds and sweep floors.
The day has passed when we made
the boy a pair of pants out of father &
old trousers. He must have a new
suit of clothes out of the store, every
thing to match, from the gaudy necktie
to the speckled socks and patent leath-
er slippers.
We have ceased to keep a COW or
two for our family use, and we pay
40 cents a pound for butter and so
cents gallon for milk. We have ceased
to can fruit, make jelly and preserves.
We have ceased to dry our fruit but
buy evaporated fruit at 1215 cents
pound. We have ceased to make the
barrel of apple butter and the barrel
or kraut,' the key of pickles and the
barrel of sorghum molasses. We de-

THIS MAN SAYS THE
AMERICANS ARE NOT AFFECTED
RevOlutiOnists, Says Louisville Man,
Were Peaceable and Liked 4sneri-
cans as Bosses.

Louisville, Ky, June 9-The reported
uprising Of the Maya indians Of Yucatan
Is not likely to seriously affect any
American interests. according to c. T.
Mengel, of Louisville, who represents
large American interests in Yucata1-
Recently Mr.. Mengel was in Yucatan
in the district known as the territory
of Quintana Roo. which IS south of the
scene of the reported uprising He found
that the Maya indians were disposed 70
be very friendly In the logging camps
and chtcle operations they have become
Indispensable assets, and under gener-
Gus treatment in remarkably short
time developed qualities of faithfulness
and peacefulness, giving them stand
ing as wOrkmen superior to that of the
negro labOrer.
Some of them received as much as S14
gold per month and rations and re-
garded their employers as their greatest
friends There were upwards OF 5000 OF
these indians in the American camps
This was the situation when Mr.. Men
gel left Yucatan and the natives ap-
parently indicated that there was then
no cause for general discomfort.
According to data here there are ap-
prOximately 100 Americans in Yucatan
working in logging and chicle camps.
which represent the principal industries
attracting Americans to that country.
Practically AL OF these Americans work
in close touch with the indians and they
are generally on friendly terms with
them.

4 DEAD WEIGHT.

from New York IN. VI Tribune
The inebriate is a dead weight in
modern society. The older world was
more than kind TO him, but the newer
is relentless. The younger generation
has had accurate views on that point,
and the proportion of young men handi-
Gaping themselves with drinking habits
is becoming smaller every year. Young
men nowadays are too intent on other
things to be greatly attracted by the
cheap lure of dissipation.

the Maya indians in YUcatan, has been
received by Senior de la Barra, Mexican
ambassador, here. from the Mexican
minister of foreign affairs Creel The
message said that the rebellion is not
serious, the number of indians in re-

The indications are that the trouble
has arisen through the gradual exploit

RUSSELL SAGE IN HIS OFFICE.
MuItl-Mllllonaire Always Pleasant
hammered, Except Where Money
Matters Were Concerned.

/
/ Russell Sage was notoriously mean
r. money matters, but the most demo
Static Of American millionaires, and.
except where his dollars were In
volved, simple and kindly in manner.
At the time Of the Northern Pacific
bombshell, In May. 1901, reporter
called on him to get his explanation Of
, th ecorner which ran Northern Pacific
shares Of common stock up to $1,000
one day, only to send them crashing
down the next. The reporter called at
his Office In Broad street with letter
OF Introduction from a magazine edi.
tor. and, squeezing in the outer office
past row OF unpainted dry goods
boxes. which were evidently used for
storing papers in place of safe, he
found the old millionaire in his rusty
clothes. cheap necktie and frayed
bhirt and collar sitting at q little
stand, with nothing before him but q
pencil and small pad of white paper
scarcely large enough to contain a
trifing computation in figures. Sage
said he was very busy and asked his
visitor If he could not come to his
house at night.
At the door Of the brown stone house
In Fifth avenue, near Forty.second
street, that night the reporter was
met by Sage himself. He was escort
ed into the back parlor or sitting
room, but was shut of from the front
room by folding doors. At small ia.
BILE Mrs. Sage sat reading the evening
newspaper, while Sage beckoned the
newspaper man to take a seat beside
him on a low lounge In front Of the
folding doors. The springs were
broken or so weak that the two fell
close together.
After telling what he knew about
the Northern Pacific panic Sage be-
came reminiscent Of his early life, OF
the Goulds, Morgan and other men
whose names were on every tongue.
He spoke with the simplicity Of man
accustomed to run village store. He
told OF Morgan as young man, who
had introduced into business methods
and ideas that were new and strange
to him and contrary to his early train
Ing, and said he wasn't sure yet how
1t would all come aut. He spoke Of
Jay Gould and the journey they had
made together across the continent
Just before Gould completed his pur-
chase of the Missouri Pacific, and ex.
planned that he believed in the semi
southern route across the continent
rather than the northern one of James
J. Hill because the warmer country
would be more productive and invite
settlers sooner.

Successful Ministers.

The successful minister is born, NOT
made. By the use of whatever tools,
vitalizing though he may be compelled
to the Oldest and modest conven.
tions, he comes to his real work by
virtue of qualities which theological
education can neither give nor take
away. If he has the soul to endure as
one seeing the invisible, and heart
to throb in unison with all the varied
humanity about him; and to all this
adds the sense Of high mission and
the burden of spiritual message, he
need not trouble himself overmuch to
become "socialized." He will find his
true power and WELD 1t. Into the
striving and sorrow of the world he
will be able to bring something OF
peace and comfort; and will be the
better enabled to do it for having
'raced his mind by hard study and
fed his spirit by long meditation
while the fire burns, than by taking
out card in all the labor unions
from here to California, or running
now here and now there after the
latest sociological fad.-New Yors
