The Story of Mexico in Brief

historians say that Montezuma was
tortured on a bed OF red-hot coal until
he betrayed to the Spanish the secret
hiding place OF his great treasures OF
gold and silver.
Then followed long period of Span
ish reign. during which a succession
OF viceroys responded heartlessly TO
the pressure from Spain by draining
the land of every possible ingot of sill
yer.
In 1910 a priest. Miguel Hidalgo,
rang the church bell and called upon
his people TO throw off the yoke OF
foreign tyranny. A year later he was
captured and shot, but the revolution
continued until 1922. when Iturbide, a
former Spanish official, but then a
revolutionist was proclaimed emperor
OF the independent monarchy: a year
later republic was established, and
Guadalupe Victoria became the first
president.
Later Santa Anna became a leading
factor in the government. and for 90
years had hand i'm whatever occur

separation from Mexico, and 10 years
later the United States army invaded

European powers sent troops to pro-

ENGLAND
WORRIED
over EGYPT

Cairo. Egypt, May 16.-In mo-
mentary expectation of anti-English
troubles, the government has
stopped the leave of all British ar
my officers in Egypt. The troops
are being constantly practiced in
field maneuvers that they may be
ready to deal with disorders.
Considerable uneasiness is felt
concerning the loyalty Of the native
soldiers. Indeed. it is certain that
some of them are disaffected. There
have been several cases of insubor-
dination but the promptness and Sc
verify with which the military have
dealt with them have prevented
them from becoming general.
The customs officials are cooper
ating with the military by making
thorough searches of luggage and
consignments of merchandise, lest
arms or explosives be smuggled into
the country.
German traders, in the meantime,
are taking full advantage of the
practical boycott by the natives of
British merchandise, to push their
own commercial interests.

SAYS WIDOWS
MAKE THE BEST WIVES

next to that of the minister and the
doctor. The secrets Of life are un-
barred there; it's tragedies are re-
vealed skeletons pop out which he
tries to force back. This judge has
been an unusually prosperous law
yer. and his chances for analyzing
motives and deducting sound con-
clusions from them have been great.
But those of us who have only
the natural opportunities Of the aver
age life have had enough cases under
our own ken to feel the truth of the
Judges words. The truest are those
which show the growth of the widow
beyond the 'lovey-dovey' view Of
marriage. Our girls are often fed
on too much sentiment. Novels and
plays are made for their especial
delectation, and they are built to a
universal plan. Their adventures
must be romantic, their ending hap
py. They develop false and mislead-
ing ideas Of life; they put too great
an emphasis on sickly sentimentality
and too little on the genuine love
which is often tongue-tied when it
comes to sugary phrases, but is al
ways eloquent in work and protec-
tion and in unselfishness, all along
the line.
Such girls bruise their tender lit
tie hearts against seemingly stony
affection, and it is only time that
salves the hurt with wisdom. If a
Hibernian philosophy could prevail
and all wives widows first, it un-
6oubtedly would be much better for
the happiness of many people.
