TWO HUNDRED AND TEN PEOPLE SLAUGHTERED
Lives of Inhabitants Pay Price Of

Probably innocent Victims.

Mexico City, Mex.-Two hundred
Puerandaro, Michoacan, at least half
of whom were boys, was the price de-
manded by the jefe Politico for the
sacking of the place in June. The
slaughter began in the town Jail,
where all the prisoners were killed by
the guards. So terror-stricken have
the people become that none of them
have dared to let the news out for fear
of themselves being executed or sent
to serve in the army.
Over two hundred and fifty during
the last few months have been forced
front.
Through commission which called
upon the minister of the interior ask
ing for guarantees the story became
known, and in the interview later the
minister said:
''This slaughter, which consider the
most atrocious in the history of the
republic, and which is proved beyond
doubt, will be punished severely.
The matter is now in the hands of the
attorney general of the republic. The
men who have been consigned to the
army will, at my request, be released
from service, and may return to their
homes. The information in my hands
leads me to believe that at conserva-
tive estimate half of the persons were
innocent"

called on the minister say that the

FOR SAFETY TO THE DRIVER

Mirrors at street corners to provide

the cross streets have been installed
in at least two towns in England. In
F'olkestone there is an acute angle
street crossing where one corner is
built up close to the curb. On this
corner is placed a 24x24 inch mirror
supported on gas pipe standards at
such an angle that drivers of vehicles
coming toward the built-up corner
from either of the two opposite streets
can see up the streets at right an
giles to their path.
The engineer in charge states that
owing to the impossibility of motor

have occurred at that point. Since
the mirror has been fixed he has not
heard of anything approaching an &C

But she did not have her cousins

she occasionally read aloud some OF
the verse that he wrote, not for pub
LEGATION. but for the pleasure OF his
intimate circle. That was always
light. frequently gay, sometimes fair
ly rollicking.
Her admiration for the writer made
her try very hard to appreciate his
fun; and she thought she did so; yet
m1rth seemed algays as alien to her
tongue as . red rJszste pinned upon
her dove-gray shou1der-shawl would
have been to her costume. This in
congruity was felt. doubtless. by an
other Friend, of even more serious
mind than she, who once said to her
reprovingly:
The verses are harmless, and l
perceive they are intended to be
diverting; but they do not divert me,
Gertrude, and / do not think they
really divert thee. Be honest with
myself; if thee read them and did not
know thy cousin Greenleaf wrote
them. would thee not consider them
extremely silly? Thee knows l mean

cousin Greenleaf. Surely he is
great poet; but great poet may some
times write such silly stuff. And sure

That One Thing Lacking.

Lady Augusta Gregory, the able and
ardent apostle Of the modern Irish
movement, is fond of telling the fol-
lowing real Irish story:
ut was the wedding day of Pat and
Bridget. and they were having a
church wedding. It was a grand at
fair. Pat was dressed with patent
leather shoes, white vest and flaming
tie. Bridget shone attractively In
many colors. The ceremony was over,
and the happy pair walked down the
aisle, out into the street. where a
great crowd greeted them with delight.
Once seated within the cab, Bridget
leaned over to Pat and said, ina loud
whisper. Och, Pat, If we could only
have stood on the sidewalk and watch
ed ourselves pass. wouldn't it have
been hivin?'''
