DIAZ PLACES BLAME
GAYS RECENT RIOTS IN MEXICO
ARE POLITICAL DoINas or
FRANCISCO MADERo.
venerable President Declares That
me"'ean People Love Peace and
Understand Its Benefits and Will
Not Accept Any Revolution,

New York.-Presiden Diaz of Mex.
leo has addressed the following tele.
gram to the editor of the New York
American, published here Sunday
morning:
The recent riots in certain portions
OF Mexico are the political doing of
Mr.. Francisco l. Madero. According
TO the proclamations published. upon
throwing himself into a revolution.
his object was to obtain the presidency
by force, since he was unable to do
so by the votes of fellow citizens.
This political movement will not
extend, since hitherto it has limited
Itself to riots in Puebla, Gomez Pala-
clio, Paral and Ciudad Guerrero. In
all these places they have been re.
pressed by the police and the federal
forces. The rest of the republic has
remained completely tranquil.
The Mexican people love peace and
understand its benefits and will not ac-
cept any revolution. Further, the
business men understand their inter-
ests would be in danger in the hands
OF persons who profess Socialism and
carry on an anarchistic propaganda.
mo danger exists here either for
the natives or for the foreigners, but
1t is very distressing that the press
should publish sensational and exag-
gerated news, which tends to cause
alarm in the money markets and to
do damage to business.
"It cannot be said that there have
been serious disturbances, for even in
places where there have been riots, to
which have referred, order was re-es-
tablished a few hours later and every
one is attending to his affairs, with
no more excitement than that created
by a sensational newspaper On the
other hand, the government is sup
ported by public opinion and a we'll
disciplined army"

She Covered Her Head.

Scene, a country church of Episco-
copalian denomination in process of
being decorated for the Christmas
season. The rector, who has a strong
leaning towards forms of all kinds is
fastening a festoon of evergreen
about the baptismal font, when, en-
ter Miss olympic, who unceremoni-
ously filings her hat upon the seat of
a pew and comes to his assistance,
The rector suddenly observes that
she is hatless and remarks severely:
Miss olympic, it is particularly for
hidden that women shall come into
the church with uncovered heads"
"Oh, bother, I forgot" responded
the young lady irreverently. We'll,
grabbing up the rectors derby and
setting it jauntily on her pert little
head, will this do?"

A Garcsn of Friends.

One of the prettiest corners of a
certain girls garden is that in which
every plant has been the gift of some
special friend. The sweet old-fashioned
flowers that bloom there have thus a
double significance, and their owner
persuades herself that while they
flourish she may be very sure that
she is not forgotten. A fragrant clump
of pinks was set in place by her dear
est school friend, and now that this
friend is living abroad she likes to
think that every breath of perfume
brings her kindly thought of her old
chum. A garden of friendship is a
pretty fancy and one that gives last
ing pleasure.
