Fortune Saved by Foresight.

A story is told of q well known Ameri-
can mining man in Mexico, whose fore
Sight probably will save him considerable
money.
During the Madero revolution his prop
erty was visited frequently by the reb-
els. who forced him to contribute Law
iShly to the rebellion. For moneys,
horses, provisions and other things taken
he was given the provisional" receipts,
through the evidence of which he was
to be reimbursed when the revolution
triumphed.
Soon after the close of the first revo-
luton the mining man deposited in the
office of the MINISTRY of finance the re-
ceipts, which called for some $4,000 He
was assured that in due time he would
receive his money.
1t was not forthcoming. however, and
several months later he called again,
whereupon he was told that unfortunate-
| ~ the receipts which he had presented
had been lost, and the department had
| no evidence that anything was due him
1t was added that If the receipts were
found full settlement would be made.
But the claimant had provided for lust
this contingency. and the next day he ap-
peared at the Office of the minister and
deposited new and complete set of re-
! ceipts. At the same time he informed
the official that ii the second lot We're
lost he could replace them, as he had
taken the precaution to make fifty pho
tographs of each original receipt

President Madero insists upon the pro-
posed measure to have the taxes on the
milky beverage increased. A committee
of haciendadoS recently obtained from the
president promise to give the bill
further consideration.

argue that since their properties will pro-

war show that since the beginning of

! Most of these were bought in Germany,

MEXICO CITY. December 2O.-Thirty
thousand Mexicans left their country for
homes in the United States last year.
This Intelligence has disturbed the local
press. a part of which, assuming that the
emigrants are attracted by the higher
wages paid on the railroads. in the cotton
fields and at industrial centers of the
north, are sounding a warning against
what they described as false promises
intended to lure the Mexican laborer
across the line, to his disadvantage.
Other papers explain the exodus on the
ground that continued revolutions have
robbed the tOiler of an opportunity to
follow his usual vocation and left to him
no occupation except that of fighting his
countrymen. He is pretty tired of the
war trade, particularly as it must be
pursued at the risk of his own life.
Quite a different view Of the situation
is taken by some observers, who hold
that an even greater desertiOn of work
ingmen might prove a blessing in dis
guise, for the effect on the public mind
would be an economic influence in re-
storing tranquility in the state.

Women become quite adept at the
sport in quick order. At Wellesley Col
lege, near Boston, many of the college
girls have taken up the sport, and the
beautiful lake is alive with the white
sails whenever ice forms Of sufficient
thickness to allow skating. Many
woman has learned from the skate sail
her first convincing lesson that the wind
can be made to drive boat or a person
directly up into the point from which it
blows.
This same work OF "tacking," or work
ing up into the wind, is one of the few
really difficult things to learn in skate
sailing. 1t is the only trick about the
sport which the beginner will find hard
to master This. too, is the real test of
the skilled manipulation of the new toy.
To do the trick gracefully. without loss
of motion and with the best utilization
of the power of the wind, is an athletic
achievement requiring nice calculation.
In the use of the Ct shaped sail the
best experts swing the sail right up over
their heads. allowing il to fall into place
on the other side Of their bodies which
puts ii in correct position for the next
tack. In the case of the rectangular sail.
the best plan is to slide the sail forward
until more than one-half of its surface is
past tie skater. Then the skater makes
quick turn at right angles, and the sail
will be found to have swung itself into
correct position for the wind pressure.

fective trick can be accomplished with

BIG LIST OR CASES on
SUPREME COURT DOCKET
Many Important Decisions are Ex-
pected to H. Rendercsi-~-ta-
Iidity of Several Laws.

A Associated Press Special.
Washington, Jan. s.---With more
than one hundred cases under con-
sideration. the supreme court OF the
United States is expected to hand
down many important decisions to-
day when 1t convenes after the hol-
iday recess.
More light may be shed on the
antitrust problem by decisions IN
the st. Louis bridge case; the hard
coal suit against the principal an
thracite coal-carrying railroads aud
coal producing companies OF Penn
sylvania; and the 'cotton corner"
case, arising out OF transactions
on the New York Cotton Exchange.
The validity OF several federal
laws may be determined. Foremost
among these is the Employers Liza
bility law, which has been under
consideration by the court since last
February. A second decision may be
rendered regarding the validity of
the "Carmack amendment to the
Interstate commerce laws, whereby
Initial carriers were made liable for
damages on loss OF goods whether
occurring on their lines or those of
connecting carriers.
The fate of score or more of
state laws may be decided. Of
these, the constitutionality of the
Oregon initiative and referendum
system has attracted the most at
tention, because the ruling of the
court will be applicable to laws In
nearly half the states of the union.
Foreign corporation laws OF Kan
sas, New York, and Texas may be
passed upon. Other laws under cou-
sideration are the Hours of Service
Law for railroad employees in the
state OF Washington; the Missouri
antitrust law, the North Dakota
Drainage law the Kansas Black
Powder" law; the New York trans
fer tax law; the Montana law taxing
hand laundries; the North Carolina
law regulating the receipt of goods
by railroads; and the Arkansas
law, requiring railroads to pay
within 80 days claims for live stock
killed by trains.
Several general questions of law
may be decided such as the validity
of the transfer of allotted lands by
thousands of Oklahoma Indians, and
the liability of insurance companies
for policies on the lives of men exc
saentssd for uarder. The latter point
