Opportunity.

IL does one good to see and meet the merry children by the score on their way to and from school Children, you should not miss single lesson. Take advantage of every opportunity you have to get learning and an edu- cation. You will always regret it if you don't. When you are older and are weighted with responsibilities, you will have no opportunity, except by experience, and experience is a dear teacher. Every hour spent in study while you are young and free from cares, will be a boon and pleasure and a fortune to you when you are older. Your young minds are incapa- bic Of grasping and appreciating the full importance and the real necessity and the vast pleasure Of learning. Competition is even now so keen that without learning there is small chance of success ill any of the walks of life, and living is an unceasing struggle. Your opportunities are precious. Do not waste them nor allow them to pass you by.

THE REVOLUTIONlSTS.

From a Mexican paper called Re.
generation published at Los Angeles
it is learned that there are two distinct
revolutionary organizations in Mexico,
the Maderist party and the liberal
party. Regeneration is the organ Of
the liberal party, whose purpose it
outlines as follows:
The liberal party is a proletarian
organization. which has been in the
field for many years. For its lofty
ideals its leaders have suffered impris.
Onment and persecution both in Mex.
leo and in the United States. Twice
before has it launched, in spite Of
tremendous odds, a revolution against
the dictator of Mexico, only on both
occasions 10 be betrayed. Now it is
again in the field, and its revolutionary
groups have been meeting with sue.
cess. Liberals are operating in Chi.
huahua. Sonora, Lower California and
in many states throughout the south of
Mexico.
The aim of the liberal rartv is
above all things I" labor for the cause
Of the dispossesscd. Its leaders are
without personal ambition. II does
not work 10 raise to the office of prcsi.
dent any one man. That choice shall
remain with the people when the des-
pot is overthrown.
The main object of the liberal party
is to overthrow the tyrannical govern.
ment, cOnfiscate the enormous estates
which have been made up of property
stolen from the people and given to
favorites of the dictator, and divide
them among the people. Only thus
can the wretched poems of Mexico
become really free.
The Maderists are led by men of
wealth who would no doubt attempt
to maintain something akin to the
Diaz regime in case they succeeded in
overthrowing the govcr.nr at. The
extreme liberals, as this clipping indi.
there would be no security for life or
property for many years in case this
party gained the upper hand. 1t is
agreed that democracy such rs we
have in the United States will be i'm
posible for Mexico for so long time
that the question is merely academic.

DEMOCRATIC HARMONY.

At the democratic banquet in Balti-
more last week the democrats dis
played considerable wisdom and
initiative for democrats, Or for any
conventional human animals, for that
matter. They felt 50 good about the
feed that they refused to listen to the
speakers, or to pretend they were lis,
tening to them while surreptitiously
getting little much needed sleep.
1t is hoped that this precedent may
become general. As paramount
issue it has free silver or the bank
guarantee beaten a mile. The free,
downtrodden American citizen has
been, for years, paying too large
price for his banquets in the attention
bestowed upon the chestnuts of IT,;
after dinner speaker who doesn't seem
TO realize that a majority of his audi
ence are figuring on doing a days
work tomorrow. This rebellion Of the
democrats against this plan of being
conventionally bored deserves more
extensive commentator than it re-
ceived.
Such insurgency is going to be even
more popular than the common
chautauqua variety. Let the demo-
Gratis make it their paramount issue,
and the tariff will take care of itself.
The boosted democratic harmony,
which has, heretofore. consisted OF
republican discord when it consisted
of anything more than hot air, will
thus become a positive entity, and
gaining recruits from the vast army OF
banquet victims, should lead ON to
victory the party Of Jefferson and
jackson and Tammany hall.-Atchi-

A Shabby Coat Collar.

Very often the collar of coat be-
gins to look shabby when the coat
itself is in good order. and it is Won
derful what a difference a thorough
cleaning will make. First take a
piece of clean cloth and dip it in spir-
its of turpentine and rub the collar
thoroughly with 1t. Leave 1t for ten
minutes. then rub 1t again with the
turpentine and scrapc 1t carefully to
remove any loose dirt Next sponge

Ruins of Yucatan.

The explorations of Arthur DiOsy In
Yucatan brought to light many new
facts about the stupendOus ruins
which stretch through the country I'm
n chain 800 miles long. The most
amazing thing about these ruins. ac-
cording to Mr.. DiOsy. is that the peo-
pie who possessed such high archi-
tectural skill and the knowledge OF
rich and graceful decorative arts. be-
lOnsed to the stone age and had no

Makina Things Hum In Rome.

The Romans had three recognized
methods Of applaudins-the bombus.
the imbrices and the testae. The word
bombus did not carry any allusion to
explosives. On the contrary. this form
Of applause was the most decorous. in
asmuch as it consisted merely Of a
humming or buzzing noise. Thus in a
way the Romans were the first ito
make things hum" in public assem-
bly,. The bombus was not the chief
feature the Romans had to offer in the
way Of applause. The imbrices meant
a demonstration made with the hollow
Of the hands. The testae meant the
striking together Of the dat portions Of
the hands. From this we may con-
clude that the Romans clapped. but
there Is no certainty on this point
