According to the Mexico Daily Rec
ord a large amount of cypress piling
heretofore supposed to have formed a
pier in the lake surrounding the old
city of Tenochtitlan, now the City of
Mexico. has been announced by ex-
perts Of the national museum to have
served as a palisade designed to pro-
tect the capital of the Aztecs against
attack from the br~igandines fernando
Cortcx constructed on the lake. The
discovery vas made a few days ago,
while a trench for a water main was
being dug in the street known as Gale
Cinco de Mayo. The streets marks the
where the waters of lake Texcoco once
laved the base of the great teocalli.
IL is presumed that the capital of the
Moctezumas was not protected at this
point and hat the cypress stakes were
driven during the siege. Their align

were just concealed by the water. 1t
is thought hat the palisade was erect

the deposed Moetezuma a few
days prior to the fall Of the city. There
is some historical evidence hat the

TEXAS BALKS AT.
TAFT'S DEFINITION
Of WH|SKEY
REAL ARTICLE MUST COME
STRAIGHT FROM THE STILL
Pure Food Commission Dlsa-
greeS with President as to
Exactly What Constitutes
Genuine Booze,

Especial Correspondence to Morning JournaiI
San Antonio, Texas. Jan. THAT
the ruling of President Taft as to what
is whiskey win not be accepted by
Texas, is the statement made by DR..
J. s. Abbott, pure food commissioner.
The Texas law - the subject provides
that only the products Of the whiskey
still are whiskey, and that rectified or
c%oncocted limitations of tie real thing
are anything but whiskey. For this
all whiskeys made by diluting
ethyl alcohol or neutral spirits to
potable strength, %flavoring them with
essential whiskey oils, coloring them
with caramel and ageing them with
beading oil or glycerine, will, as in the
past, be subject to seizure by the
state authorities. DIR. Abbott
has made a number of experiments
with whiskey made in this fashion,
and has pronounced them inferior to
still whiskey and deleterious to health,
especially in cases where fusel oil and
acid had been used.
Some shipments of Taft whiskey
have already been seized in Texas.
w ~ Wlth M null, Etiltfdl CbuiSti lOI
st. Louis rectifiers, has asked a
hearing before the governor, DR.. ABB
Dott and the attorney general. DR..
has already voiced his oppose
ton 10 a release of the whiskey held,
and for this reason a law suit testing
the authority of the Taft ruling as far
as Texas and interstate are
concerned is sui to follow.
Whiskey according to the Texas
food and drug act. must contain at
"A per cent alcohol. must not
n artificial flavoring, burnt
glycerine, beading oil or essen
tial oil, and must be at least four years
old. Since no rectified whiskey can
be made without the ingredients pre-
by the Texas law, Taft whis-
key will not be o%btainable here as a
common article Of commerce.

abdol en- Mr.. Omfordt was driving
home from this city and in going down

the accident happened. He then put
the horses in the barn and went into

When manufacturing industries are
established in this state on large
scale as they are bound to be, by rea-
son Of the enormous deposits Of coal
that underlie the surface of the state
there will be a large market for all
of the products of the farm.
When this time arrives, when great
industries are scattered all over the
state, there will be home market for
all Of the wheat raised, the farmer
will be able to sell his wheat at the
mill, at his own door, thus saving
the freight and the so-called dock
age, which will equal zoe the bushel,

OLD JIM HILLS SAYINGS

spend lavishly may mean well. but
the signboard where their road di-
verges is marked plainly disaster -
The value of our farm products this
year is eight billions of dollars. 1t
might as well have been sixteen bill
lions or ever twenty-four billions. We
haven't begun to till our soil. We
don't know how. We have merely
scratched the surface.
The man with the big opportunity
today is the man in the ranks.
Success never comes to the man who
spends most of his time watching the
clock.
The man who climbs up is the one
who Is not content with doing only
just what Is absolutely necessary, but
who does more.
My rule for success is untiring ap.
plication. loyalty to ones employer,
which ia loyalty to ones self, doing
the best you can in every task that
faces you; practicabflity. initiative
and industry.
Luck and laziness do not 60 to.
gether. The man who climbs up must
prove himself and grasp his oppor.
tunity. Opportunity will not look
him up.
The best advice to give q young
man is very old and simple. Get
knowledge and understanding. De.
termine to make the most Of yourself
by doing to the best Of your power
such useful work as comes your way.
There are no new recipes for success
in life.
Some opportunity will come at some
time to every man. Then it depends
upon himself and upon what he shall
have made of himself what he makes
Of it and what it will make of him.
The boy or girl who is taught to be
obedient and affectionate and con.
siderate of Others, to look forward to
makink the best use of whatever op-
portunity life may bring, and who re-
ceives such education as the best
schools have to offer,, has all the
preparation for after life that it is
possible to give, and one that should
; not often fail
