 Three bags with two apples in each bag" said a boy in one of the last seats. while the class still debated as to the best answer.
 "Why. Paul?" asked the teacher.
 Because there'd be one more bag to bust" announced the practical young mathematician.-YOu Companion

STRICT SABBATH OBSERVANCE.

Police Commissioner Waldo of New York was talking about the proper observance of the Sabbath.
 "I believe in a proper observance of the Sabbath he said. but should hate to see us go to such lengths as prevail in certain sections of Vermont.
 "A friend of mine is passing his vacation in Vermont He is staying with a rich farmer. one of his boy hood mates Dear me. what strict Sabbatarians they all are in those parts,

MEXICAN PEOPLE HAVE
 FREE PRESS AT LAST
NEW ADMINISTRATION HAS MADE
 GOOD ITS PROMISES.
American Writer Says Conditions Have Vastly Changed in Southern
 Republic.

The new Madero administration in Mexico has lost no time in making good it's promised freedom of the press and of speech and as a result now newspapers are publishing whatever they want to without waiting for the formal election of a president
 An American newspaper man in that country describes newspaper conditions in Mexico as follows:
 Since the advent of Madero a dozen new periodicals have been born, and a. many more are said To be projected. Lack of advertising doubtless will force many of these youngsters into their graves. for the only reason apparent for their being in some instances is that some one wishes a medium of public expression.
 Most Of the new periodicals are small magazines, the majority devoted 10 the publication of satirical verse and prose. illustrated with caricatures. No one is spared by the writers and ar lists but as is natural the most sting jng-and sometimes vicious-work is reserved for individuals who were con nected with the old regime.
 Among the weekly publications is Fl Ahuizote a publication resurrected. This magazine first appeared years ago, but because of its cartoons of Liman- tour and other public men was sup pressed.
 The daily newspapers give most lively evidence of this freedom Fl Imparcial, a paper which has always been pro- government. has inserted un- der it's head the words 'DiariO Inde- pendiente.' and independent it is. It publishes news and comment regard less Of how it will be received by Ma dero and his friends, for whom il pre- tends no love.
 The public also has caught the spirit of free speech and almost all the papers publish columns of comment furnished by readers. Most of it is signed by the writers own names. In this comment and in the editorial col umns the political questions are freely discussed. Madero is criticized as well as praised and those who would like to see another chosen for the presidency do not hesitate to say SO"

TWO BIG RATTLERS KILLED BY
 TOMBSTONE YOUTH.
Then he Carried Trophies Home to
 Show What he Had Done.

Tombstone has the youngest and bravest hero in all Arizona.
 While Bradford Brandt. the 12 year old son of cashier Brandt of the First National Bank of Tombstone, was at St. David he came upon q nest of huge rattlers. Instead of running. the plucky Bradford single handed. with no other weapon than rocks at hand, dispatched two of the snakes and carried the wriggling monsters home as trophies. The snakes each measured over six feet in length. one having 12 rattles and the other Is rattles. The snakes are the largest seen in that section for years.

JOGGING THEIR MEMORIES.

Marshal Petersen is of the opinion that some people have short memories. Time and again he has warned boys and men against riding bicycles upon the streets after dark (the ordinance says between sunset and sunrise.) but the offenders appear to quickly forget. Thursday night he arrested a couple of violatOrs of the law and they had to appear in police court the next morn ing Mir. Peterson says he Is W cary of repeating a warning when it has been so thoroughly published that everyone should be well informed Hence viO lators of the ordinances should sit un and take notice. Many people also for get that it is contrary to ordinance tC ride a bicycle upon any sidewalk in town. Some of those who violate this law are so rude as to almost force pe- destrianS off the walk Some day some one will run into some other one who will lodge a complaint. and then there will at least be a surprise in store for the unlucky one.
