THE RULER OF MEXICO.

Gen. Porfirio Diaz is the most unique
character in modern Mexican history,
it's most distinguished soldier and a
veritable Quetzalcohuati in ability.
Nearly so years of age, he has been
absolute dictator of the sister republic,
with the nominal title of President,
since 1884, and only relinquished the
position voluntarily in 1880, after serv-
ing four years, to enter on other
duties
Serving against the United States in
the Mexican War, he was potent fac
tor afterward in the overthrow Of
Santa Anna Later he was in COM
mand of Mexican forces that fought
the French invasion, and was the vic
torious general that finally captured
Mexico City, ending French rule, and
caused the subsequent shooting Of
Emperor Macmillan.
Elected after brief revolution, 20
the Presidency in 1876, he succeeded
President Juraez. He relinquished the
office in 1880 for four years, and IN
that time was the Mexican commits
sioner to the New Orleans Exposition.
Again accepting the Office in 1884, he
had been reelected without practically
any opposition, and at times with al
most unanimous enthusiasm, since
then.
When Diaz first entered office, parts
of Mexico were oterrun with bandits.
They have almost entirely disappear
ed Agricultural pursuits, mining and
local manufacturers have taken an
enormous bound and the country at the
present time is richer than ever be-
fore. During his many administra-
tions revenues have more than dOubl-
ed and are sufficient to meet all eX-
penses.
Until today President Diaz is a ia
miliar figure in Mexico City, his erect
form not showing his advanced years.
One of his most recent appearances,
which had international Importance,
was when he crossed the Mexican
border to meet President Taft at Ell
Paso, and President Taft returned the
compliment, walking across the river
into Mexico.

Few indeed are the petticoats worn
with the lightweight spring suits, but
where petticoat is worn it is of the
softest messaline or satin fitted close
ly and smoothly down to a deep
hounce, which is either accordion
plated or shaped so that it falls limp
and straight.
The black jersey top with the
aounce of messaline is best for utility
purposes, and there are some pretty
effects in black and white stripe, al
though when the white stripe is too
wide the petticoat soils quickly.

SPRING FASHION HUIN WEEKS. y
y y \ y 4 = 4 = = 4 = 4 = = = =
This seems to be a season Of white
gloves in both long and short length,
but probably the long sleeves are more
sold on account of the short sleeves on
spring blouses and frocks.
Not only in kid and suede but also
in silk are the long gloves selling
with rapidity.
The many colored frocks and the
fashion of having ones accessories
match the frock has doomed the sale
of colored gloves, of which there IS
even now a goodly showing on the
counters in the shops.
This advance selling, however, is
only small to what will be the actual
sale of colored silk gloves when once
the spring season is here in full
force.
There is also a demand for the glove
with the four row or fiat stitching on
the back. This is heavier than isusu-
ally seen, but the effect smart and
altogether stylish.

THE JOURNAL ON "THE GOAT"

That vigorous and handy phrase,
You're the goat, far from being d
waif of vulgar slang, is really of an
oient and, indeed, pious extraction. So
at least thinks a young woman of
Hampton, Va, who, in letter to Mr..
Charles D. Hilles, the newly appointed
secretary to the president of the United
States cougratulates Mr.. Hilles on the
honor he has won but at the same
time condoles with him over the Pc
cuIiar burdens it will entail. Her idea
of what some of the duties of presi-
Dental secretary are may be gathered
from the fact that she advises him to
read Leviucus chapter IS, verses 20 10
%; which run in this wise:
And when he hath made an end Of
reconciling the holy place and the tab
ernacle of the congregation, and the
altar, he shall bring the live goat:
"And Aaron shall lay both his hands
upon the head of the live goat and
confess over him all the iniquities OF
the Children of Israel and all their
transgressions in all their sins, put
ting them upon the head of the goat
and shall send him away by the hand
of fit man into the wilderness:
And that goat shall bear upon him
all their iniquities unto a land not
inhabited, and he shall let go the goat
in the Wilderness
Whatever the scholars may say
most men of experience with the
world and its ways will account this
as being the authentic origin of our
picturesque American phrase, says the
Atlanta Journal. 1t should, further
more, bring deep consolation to that
innumerable class Of good people who
either in politics or business or do
mestic life are 'the goats" To be a
lobster or a mollycoddle involves
downright moral disgrace, but to be
the goat means only that one is I'M
fortunate and is righteously shoulder
ing the predicaments of other people,
Nobody, to be sure, has any craving
to be the goat, but in the course of
this moral existence of use have to
be, now and then, the highest along
with the least; wherefore Leviticus
1928 is comforting as we'll as il

A master crow, perched on a tree one

ooh, good morning, my Lord Grow.

At these words does the crow eX-

And, to display his beautious voice
He opens a wide beak let's fall his

The fox seized ont and said, My
good monsieur,

Not enjoyment, naught but sorrow,

If he should escape to-day.

Let our lace-edged banner wave,
Thus inscribed DER every meeting;
Give us suffrage or the grave"

Send you candy as a present,

STRANGE DISEASE.

A fatal epidemic prevails in Mitchell
county, n. c., which has heretofore
been unknown to medical science. and
is battling skilled physicians, who have
made every effort to check the malady
which manifests itself by small blood
shots stains On the tips Of the fingers,
passing through the arm into the body,
and resulting in death within few
days after the first sign appears. The
plague has claimed number OF VIC
tins l.. Mitchell county.
There are no paroxysms accompany
ing the attack. The disease appears to
move rapidly from the finger tips, along
the arms into the body. and reaches
the heart within day or two, resulting
invariably in immediate and apparently
painless death.
No permanent relief has thus far
been discovered, aud it is reported
that the rapidity with which the
malady is spreading has become
alarming.
