DIFFERENCE IN THE RACES
MexIcans in the Main Unjust In
Blaming Americans for Lack
of Politeness.

All the Mexican correspondents
who have written on the subject or
why Americans are not better liked
by Mexicans agree that it is largely
question of lack of politeness on
the part Of the foreigner here, and IN
some cases an ill-concealed contempt.
The latter is inexcusable, and certain
II must emanate only from inconsid-
crate or poorly educated persons, from
which no nation is free. Politeness,
however, is largely a matter OF form
and training. 1t is undeniable that
the Anglo-Saxon salutations, methods
Of expressing thanks and apprecia-
ton. etc, are simpler and shorter
than the Latin forms. To many who
have all their lives been accustomed
to the briefer Saxon ways, an attempt
of the more elaborate Latin politeness
seems, for them. nothing short of af-
fectation, and they simply cannot do
It. There are exceptions among Amer
leans and Englishmen who readily
adopt the courteous phrases OF the
Mexicans and use them naturally. but
they are the exceptions. And 1t is
difficult to see how this can readily
be changed. Our Mexican friends
should understand, on the other hand,
that if Anglo-Saxons do not, as rule,
go through as many social formalities
as the usages of the land prescribe,
they mean no offense thereby. They
are accustomed to taking good
many things for granted that their
Latin cousins give verbal assurance
Of. Naturally, it is the duty of the
outlander to conform as nearly as he
can to the ways of his adopted coun-
try. but human nature and settled
habits are pretty hard to make over,
particularly unless you catch them
while they're young.-Mexican Her.

NEW SAWS BADLY NEEDED

man on the car. Sure you do. Now
let me tell you something. See that

We'll there weren't any apartment

in estate management and wisdom at
that time, and | told him | wanted to
soak the whole $4,000 in this block

block was then on the market Tor
exactly $4,000. The old gentleman
pooh poohed me.

what YOU want. It's my duty to save
you from such wild notions as this

Il argued it with him, and he sat
down on me Then he went and in
vested my $4,000 at three per cent.
Three years ago the man who
bought that same block of ground for
$4,000 sold it for about $2OO,OuO cash,
and he's now cruising over in the
Mediterranean or some place or
other, while I'm taking my wife out
for nickel car rides and wondering
where my $4,000 went.

An Alaskan Luncheon.

Runners of woven Indian basketry,
with white drawnwork doilies at each
of the II covers, were used Oh an oval
mahogany table. The doilies were
made at Sitka. In the middle Of the
table a mirror held a tall central vase
of frosted glass, surrounded by four
smaller vases, all filled with white
spring blossoms. The edge of the
mirror was banked with the same
flowers. Four totem poles were placed
on doilies in the angles made by the
runners.
Place cards were water colors of
Alaskan scenery. Abalone shells acid
sailed nuts, and tiny Indian baskets
held bonbons. The soup spoons were
of horn, several of the dishes used
we're made by Alaskan Indians, and
the cakes were served on baskets.
The menu was as follows: Poisson
a la Boring Sea (halibut chowder),
Yukon climbers (broiled salmon, po-
tatoes Julienne), snowbirds avec
auroraborealis (roast duck with jelly,
Shungnak river turnips, Tanana
beets. Skagway hash (sala1, Fair

An Unnecessary Confession.

A hearty laugh was occasioned at
the Birmingham police court by a pris
oner who gave himself away in very
delightful manner. The man was the
first on the list, and the charge against
him was merely one of being drunk
and disorderly. He stepped into the
dock, however, Just at the moment
when the dock officer was reading out
a few of the cases which were to come
before the court that morning, and a
guilty conscience apparently led him
to mistake these items fer list of his
previous convictions.
He stood passive enough while the
officer read out about dozen drunk
and disorderlies, but when he came to
one "shopbreaking" the prisoner ex.
claimed excitedly. That was eight
years ago, your honor" Everyone be-
gan to laugh, and the prisoner. realiz-
ing the blunder he had made, at first
looked very black indeed, but finally
saw the humorous side Of the matter,
and a broad smile spread over his face.
His blunder did not cost anything

Too Ardent a Lover.

who lives in the Rue Sevres in Paris,
has found herself condemned to

to her a harmless act
She was going home from concert
few evenings ago when she decided
she would like to see her fiance AS
he happens to be a fireman whose
station is in her own neighborhood 1t
occurred to her it would be very easy
to summon him to her side by break
Ing the glass of the fire alarm and
sounding a call.
She did so anr in few moments
fire engines came from several dlrec-
tions. all laden with tiremen OF course,
but alas, her fiance was not among
them, and more than that all the fire
men were angry, and before she knew
what had happened she was taken to
a magistrate, who proceeded to make
the course of true love run unsmoothly
by sending her to prison for month
in spite of her tears and protests that
she thought 1t would be a simple way
OF bringing her fiance to her side.

Vivid at Least.

DR.. Hiram c. Cortlandt, the we'll.
known theologian of Des Moines said
in recent address:
Thomas A. Edison tells us that he
thinks the soul is not immortal; but,
after all, what does this great wizard
know about souls? His forte IS cleo
tricity and machinery, and when he
talks of souls he reminds me irresist-
IDLY of the young lady who visited the
Baldwin locomotive works and then
told how locomotive is made.
"'You pour she said, "A lot Of sand
into a lot of boxes, and you throw old
stove lids and things into furnace,
and they you empty the molten stream
into hole in the sand, and everybody
yells and swears. Then you pour 1t
out and let it cool and pound it, and
then you put it in a thing that bores
holes in it. Then you screw 1t to-
gether, and paint it, and put steam in
it, and it goes splendidly; and they
take it to a drafting room and make
a bluep rint Of it. But one thing for
got-they have to make a boiler One
man gets inside and one gets outside,
and they pound frightfully; and then
they tie it to the other thing. and you
ought to see it go!'"

PLANTING Weddinu Oaks,

Princess August Wilhelm, wife Of
the kaisers fourth son, has set herself
the task of reviving one of Germany's
oldest customs, that according to which
newly welded couples Immediately af-
ter the marriage ceremony plant a cou-
pie Of oak saplings side by side In a
park or by the roadside Of their ma
tive town.
The town of Mulchausen, In Thurin-
gia, is the first to respond to the prin-
cess appeal. A municipal official ap-
pears at the church door after every
wedding and invites the bride and
bridegroom to drive with him in car
riage to new road near the town and
there plant oak saplings.
The tree planting idea was started
by a former elector of Brandenburg
with the object of repairing the raw
ages caused by the 80 years war. The
elector forbade young persons to mar.
ry until they had planted number of
fruit trees.

We brought to Court analytical chemists

barley had been transformed into sugar, the
kind of sugar produced in the human body by
digesting starch (the large part of food.
Some of the State chemists brought on by

called a "predigested" food because not all of
it was dgested outside the body.
The other chemists said any food which had

Following 1t, an attack on us appeared III
their editorial columns; sneering at the Claims
we made particularly regarding Appendicitis.
We replied through the regular papers and
the weekly" Thought we hit back rather 100
hard and thereupon sued for libel.
The advertisement the weekly attacked

continuing indigestible food washing out the
bowels and taking predigested food Grape
Nuts.
Observe we said MANY cases not all.
WouIdnt that knowledge be comfort to
those who fear a surgeons knife as they fear
death?
The weekly" writer said that was lie.
We replied that he was ignorant of the facts.
He was put on the stand and compelled to
admit he was not a DR. and had no medical
knowledge of appendicitis and never investi-
gated TO find out If the testimonial letters to
our Co were genuine.
4 famous surgeon testified that when an
operation was required Grape-Nuts would not
obyiate it. True.
We never claimed that when an operation
was required GrapeNuts would prevent it.
The surgeon testified bacteria germs help

grown by undgested food frequently
We claimed and proved b. other famous
experts that undigested food was largely
responsible for appendicitis.
We showed by expert testimony that many
cases are healed without knife, but by stop

when food was required again it was helpful
to use a predigested food which did not over
