Robertson Ends 7rapelogue Series
Here With Trip Through Mexico

The Robertson travelogues ended Sat
urday night with journey through old
Mexico 1t is doubtful if any other
cuontry under the sun presents such
sharp social contrasts as does old
Mexico. The homes of the upper class
are beautiful, luxurious, palatial; those
of the lower the sum total of poverty,
distress and misery. There is no
middle class worth speaking of. and so
the line between the aristocrat and the
peon is sharply drawn. The cathedrals,
the temples and many of the public
buildings of Mexico City would grace
the boulevards of Paris, while the novels
of the poor would closely rival the slums
of New York.
One of the most impressive scenes
thrown on the screen was that of two
little girls of the peon class, one ten,
the other twelve years of age, the
older the mother of two children, the
Younger mother of one two years old.
The faces of the little girls were hag-
gard though chidlike. And then the next
moment there flashed upon the screen
picture of beautiful child of the upper

DOCTOR LOST
IN BIG STORM

Ault. Feb. 2i.- Caught in the
midst of a wind driven snow storm
on the plains west of Pierce late last
night, with snow drifted high in
the road, making the way almost
impossible for his automobile, DR..
A. C. Mccain, on his way to see
patient, was forced to turn back.
the snow having obliterated all
signs of a road across the prairie.
After dark last night DR.. Mccain
and his driver started out IN the
PHYSICIANS automobile to visit the
little Norberg child, recently in the
Greeley hospital. When near Pierce
the automobile was obliged to lay
up for repairs for short time. The
night was as dark as pocket and
the whirling snow was bewildering.
After a vain attempt to find the
road for over an hour the physician
and his driver were obliged to turn
about and return home.
This morning they started again
and reached the Norberg home after
bucking snow drifts much of the
way.

The most narrowing scene shown was
that of bull fight This it is that
marks Old Mexico the cruelest of ma
tions. Mr.. Robertson described fight
wherein thirteen horses, five bulls and
three men were killed So revolving
was the scene he could not stay for the
finish for sheer heartsickness He
showed the preparation of the bulls for
fight through nine days of goading and
starving.
But though he showed in striking
colors the spirit of bloodthirsty cruelty
that marked the people, he showed also
the intense spirit of religion that found
expression even in the shape of their
haystacks built to resemble cathedrals
with the cross in front,
He showed the life-like pictures of
Diaz, Jaurez, Madero and others whose
lives were part of Mexico.
