She is a janitress.
For several years she suffered the in
fiction of a drunken husband. who
finally left her the heritage Of bitter
memories and two small children.
To support herself and little family
she took charge of a building. That
was twenty years ago. She is still
janitress of the place.
Out of her earnings she gave to her
children what she was denied-a com
mon school, education. And. besides.
she threw up a dixie against a posi-
BILE food of disaster-a neat savings

She went back to work the next day
after each of the funerals. her face a
shade graver, but with sad smile on
her features for those who knew her
And now she has thrown up one
more barrier against misfortune in an

Never in twenty years has she
whined or whimpered or obtruded hel
troubles.
| Asked one DAY the secret of bel
brave fight. she replied:
''It never changes thing to com
plain. and people do not like it."
A commonplace tale?
1t is not. 1t is story OF unusua
bravery and Of a woman who. though
| uneducated. is in the possession of al
unusual philosophy. Read it again:
'It never changes a thing to com
| plain, and people do not like it."
About the most useless habit on,
may acquire Is that of complaining O.
ones difficulties. The condition l!
merely made worse by self centeret
whining and moping.
And certainly ''people do not lik'

From the chicago news.
It is not enough to say what shall
not be done on the Fourth of July.
There should be programs Of rational
entertainment. 1t is gratifying. there
fore. that extensive preparations are
being made to supply the need in this
respect in Chicago on the approach

ever, in no wise relieve the police of
the necessity for the strict perform.
ance of their duty in the line Of pre-
venting the use Of dangerous explo-
sives. Until last year Chicago had
the unenviable distinction of leading
the country in the number Of serious
accidents on the Fourth Of July. Last
year, owing to public agitation and po-
lice activity. Chicago had fewer acct
dents on account OF fireworks and
explosives than any other large Amer.
lean city. The public expects the pc.
lice department to be at least equal.

is ELECTED AGAIN
President DiaZ of Mexico Wins
Over Enemies by an I'M
mense Majority.
NO DISORDERS REPORTED

Mexico City, June 27.-General Por-
firio Diaz was yesterday elected presi.
dent of Mexico, and Ramon Corral.
vice president, by an overwhelming
majority, according to returns received
here from all over the country today.
The anti-reelctionist ticket headed
by Francisco l. Madero, now under
arrest in San Luis Potosi, received
about 2 per cent of the vote cast in
Mexico City, according to an unofficial
statement. 1t is estimated that be-
tween 10000 and 5000 votes were
cast in the capital.
The city was free from disorder OF
a serious nature. though at several
voting places friends of the candidate
running against the administration
party nominees had personal encoun-
tiers with officers in charge.
Eight hundred electors were chosen
in Mexico of whom only four are OF
the anti-reelectionists. From kilograms
received from various parts of the re.
public the same proportion seems to
prevail throughout the country.
The election in this city passed OF
quietly and only those interested in
politics knew from appearances an
event of more than usual Importance
was transpiring.
The electors chosen will meet next
month to vote in the electoral college
on July 10 to vote for deputies and
senator's: on July II to officially de.
clare the election of president and
vice president. and on July II to name
Judges of the supreme court.
Ell impartial today said the election
was a complete triumph for the Diaz-
Corral ticket.
