Refugees Leave for States.

Demar Bowman, the Mormon. who

ness among the relatives of the Nor

mountain colonies are that everything

by the looters.
The few Mormons at Colonia Garcia

Antf-American Feeling Growing
Mr.. Lunt says that the anti-American
feeling is growing in the Pearson dis

the Mexican Workmen that they are be-
ing oppressed by the American COM
panies who pay the Americans high
wages and give them the mental work
to do. He says that the zoo federals at
Pearson are doing nothing and seems
to have no inclination to pursue the
rebels. A federal captain took a COM

cowardice and quit, returning to their

the plating of working boiler. The
sand sizzled audibly where the little
brown turbid waves OF the great river
leaped up at it and the distance danced
with the heat haze just as things
dance when you look at them over the
top of the funnel of a locomotive.
The old crocodile had just finished

that is to say. At least she did not
mean to leave them
Then a buffalo, who had come down
to drink across the stream got himself
caught by the nose by the crocodile,s
mate, and there was an uproar, and
the old she crocodile, not because she
cared a snap of jaw about her mate,
but because she was afflicted with
that eternal hunger which IS the croc-
dies curse, slid into the water silently
Tor all her Is feet and hurried into
the fray, under water of course.
There was a pause of exactly one
minute after she had gone, while
flock of those fearfully unruly mar
abou. StOrks, called adjutant storks
tapped slowly overhead to water re-
turning from some ghouI-like orgie
with the vultures away out on the des-

But there was one who 1ound no
amusement at all in watching him.
She too had observed the crocodile
from afar She, too, liked crocodiles'
eggs, and had young, who liked them.
She knew, moreover, that the croeo-
die, once back might not leave her
eggs for a day, or half week
That was why. about 40 seconds
later the mongooSe all at once turned
a complete somersault and pivoting
round like a flash, faced an apparently
quite dead, large, whitish lizard, with

lizard was really larger than the mon

larger, because the mongoose himself
seemed to have grown much larger
suddenly, owing to his now bristlinS
fur The lizard, of course, had no fur.
Moreover, she appeared TO be quite
dead.
The mongoose knew better though.
At least, he knew that the lizard,
which was Of that kind known as
monitor, had not been there before
So he thought he would. at any rate,
leave nothing to chance, and flew,
therefore, quick as thought, straight
at the monitors head.
Then was seen the trick of the mon
itors trade. The Hfelessness fell in
stantly from her, and she rose on her
hind legs, hitting and scratching like
a cat. as the mongoose arrived
Mongooses are, however, the quick

veyOr of infectious diseases has long
been one of the most serious problems
Of transportation in its relation to
health. Aboard ocean steamships Du-
bOnic plague has ridden all around the
world and has knocked at the gates
Of a thousand ports where but for those
vessels 1t would never have come. Does
cholera break out in Italy, it rides over
the world on the wings Of maritime
commerce and lands in every port
where quarantine restrictions are lax.
Fortunately there is one place
where the American people are care
ful about disease. We may be indicted
for allowing cOnSumptiVeS to go about
at will careless Of the spread of vast
ing death, we may be censured for per-
hitting a death rate from intestinal
disorders that the more advanced
countries of Europe would blush to
own. but we are careful that our dis
eases shall come from native rather
than from alien sources. No country
in the world has a better quarantine
service than the United States, and
thanks to the splendid efficiency Of
the public health service, no people are
freer from invading diseases than the
American people
The problems OF quarantine grow
less serious as the causes Of diseases
come to be better understood. Yellow
fever once completely baffled the quar-
antine guard. They knew nothing OF
the work played by the mosquito in
causing the disease, and it flourished
aboard an infected ship month after
month with no one to suspect it.
Since the mystery of yellow fever
has been mastered. quarantine against
it is very easy. Likewise, before it was
known that the rat carried the flea
that carried the disease that it called
bubonic plague, the ship rat Travelled
around the world trading fleaS with
wharf rats and they in turn carrying
them to human beings. Since it has
come to be known that mo rats, no
fleas and no fleas, no plague" the fight
is infinitely simplified-
