A ROAST FOR MEXICO.
But It Is Unfair-We Have Our
Good Samaritans
Here Too.

Mexico is a great big fine town
that boasts of its wealth of
revenue derived from drink
factories. And yet Mexico has
played herself several shabby
tricks of late. About a year ago
our rich neighbor unloaded a poor
fellow with a large family on the
Prairie Queen. He was sick and
in need of a good Samaritan. Cen
tralia didn't pass him on to Stur.
geon, but some good people put
him in comfortable home, sent a
physician to see him, clothed and
fed his children and helped the
man that was down to his feet
again. One day last week, Mex
leo passed a woman and her two
children on to Centralia. She was
en- route from Chicago, where a
scoundrel husband had deserted
her, to Kansas City. The best our
proud sister city could do was a
ticket to the Prairie Queen. When
the poor woman knocked at the
door OF a Christian home in Cen
tralla she was tired and hungry
and discouraged. But the hostess
into whose home providence sent
her, opened the door of hope to the
dlsconsolate 1lother and babe. She
was taken in, beautifully cared
for and cheered up. Then the good
man of the house went out on the
streets and raised money to buy
the deserted wife and children
tickets to Kansas City and gave
them money for the needs of the
trip. The Prairie Queen may be
short on revenue, but when it
comes to benevolenee she never
turns one of Gods unfortunate
children empty-handed from her
door.
The above paragraph is from
the Centralia Courier. We think
it a little unfair, Mexico, without
doubt has her ten worthy dis
tressed" persons to Centralia s
one. But we endeavor to treat
them justly.
We are going to give a specific
case of last week. Mrs. John Viii
son here, afflicted with lung trou-
bic, wanted to get to her mother
in California. She has four chill
dren. The good women and other
citizens of Mexico made up purse
and bought her tickets to her des-
tination-in a sleeping car at that.
So you see we do not always buy
tickets to Centralia.
