SAYS UNCLE CIV

Too many of Us are unable to enjoy
life here on earth because we can't
find the lost Eden. We fancy we
could be happy if we lived in a sort
terra joint, where we could have
food for the asking, everybody smiled
and nothing eveR@Yent wrong. And
next to Simple. Willie. the rainbow
of fool than the fellow who spends his
time lamenting the loss of Eden and
the improbability of it's being regained.
The plain truth about the matter is
that only the hustler is happy and we
wouldn't know what to do with Eden
if we had it. According to the Adam
lite theory, our race began in an earth
ly paradise and it wasn't in possession
of the garden long enough to estab-
lish squatter sovereignty berore it got
mixed up with snakes. There wasn't
anything to de but pick food and
clothing Off the trees and, naturally
enough, the father of the race, having
nothing profitable to occupy his mind,
got into trouble. And, says the story,
along came an angel and fired Adam
out to earn his living. That, it ap
pears, was some uncounted thousands
of years ago, and it is only lately that
we have begun to understand that the
expulsion wasn't a curse but a bless
ing. The lesson of the loss of the gar
den isn't so much that you'll lose by
getting into mischief as it is that
of trouble.
I have heard of but one modern
Eden and when heard of that it was
the old, old story-its occupants were
fired out bodily because they couldn't
behave without working for a living
Down on the east coast of Guatemala
was a Garden of Eden, built according
to original specifications except for the
snake. 1t was a great resort for wan
derers, who had only to pick fruit off
trees in order to live. who needed no
shelter other than the foliage, and who
easily solved the problem of clothes
by picking up CASTOR garments of the
more industrious. They toiled not,
neither did they spin, yet they lived
and waxed fat. There was no serpent
to tempt them, yet they couldn't let
we'll enough alone, but got to interfer-
ing with other peoples business for
sheer ennui. So the government made
them move on.
A good many of us spend the better
part of our lives trying to accumulate
money enough to build about US
miniature Eden. We're barking up
the wrong tree. Sooner or later, we
find that the choicest heritage of the
race is the ability and the privilege to
labor. We learn that when we eat of
the tree of knowledge and get into
trouble.
The human race is not built for
Eden dwelling. Only he who hustles
is happy. and the chaser of rainbows
is a sage beside him who dreams of
contentment in idleness.- copyright,
1912, by w. z. Williams.)

WORSE COMING IN MEXICO.

Things will be worse before they can
be better in Mexico. The political and
governmental situation there will be
distress in many districts.
Disorder and unrest have prevented
the planting of the crops in wide re-
gions. Mines have been shut down for
the same reason. Industrial activities
of all kinds have been greatly hindered
or entirely suspended in the districts
most affected by civil war.
These conditions all increase poverty
and make distress more intense and
common. Such want renders men des-
perate and adds starving and ruthless
marauders to the outlaw bands already
infesting the country. One source OF
misery begets others and the evil cir
Gle widens as long as the government
is inefficient or helpless.
1t will be rare good fortune if the
foreigners still in Mexico do not suf-
have yet been visited upon aliens of
any nationality. Outlaw bands are
nearly certain to come to such straits
and to such recklessness that they will
respect no flag and shrink from no dew
iltry which may promise loot and ami
NAL satisfa on for the hour.
1t would be worth a large price to
this country to see law and order es-
tablished everywhere in Mexico and
maintained for the next few years
without American intervention.

Lake Titicaca, Oruro, and Potosi are
all linked with Antofagasta on the Pa
cific coast, and express trains carry
passengers from La Paz, the capital,
to Antofagasta on the sea-coast in two
days.
Three centuries of Spanish domino
ton and nearly q century of political
independence has done little to pro-
duce, or to lay solid foundation for,
sound system of public education
in any way adequate to the
needs of the country. Primary
education for the Qulchus and Almara
Indian element, which forms the bulk
of the population, hardly exists, and
probably not one Indian in hundred
can read. What there is in the way
of secondary education is largely
monopolized by the aristocracy and
the better classes of the country. A
few have passed from these institu
tions to the universities. but the great
bulk of the people of Bolivia today
are entirely ignorant of the benefits
of education.-The Christian Herald

Ihat is an exaggeratedly simple exam
pie of this kind of mind reading Much
more intricate and lengthy trails can be
followed by any one who is accustomed
to the exercise. want, however, to warn
any one who tries this not to be too sure
of his conclusions. I have frequently put
mine to the test of inquiry, and while
they were often right, they were some
times totally wrong.
Doubtless you are already mind read
