that they as residents Of the town
could vote on school matters, and a
large number came to the morning
session expecting to participate i'll the
voting for school director and for the
appropriations for school purposes The
board of civil authority, being uncer-
tain about the matter, had taken coun-

F. f. Barber that no woman could vote
illegally unless she paid taxes and had
/ been listed as taxpayer. 1t turned
out, therefore, that only six of the
women present could vote. This was
disappointing both to the women and
their friends who had urged them to
come They took the matter good-na-
turedlv. however, and most of them
said that the final result was as it
would have been if they had voted.

According to 4 Philadelphia tourist
who recently returned from Mexico,
about 100000, 900 of American capital
is invested in various enterprises in
that country and that many millions
more would readily be available in the

Philadelphia is not only largely i'll
terested in Mexican mines, railways,
timber tracts and farming industries
but buys and sells largely in Mexico.
The Laguana corporation, which has
vast lumber interests in Campeche,
is composed chiefly of capitalists in
Philadelphia.
The Tehuantepec National railway
is owned by the Mexican government
and was completed in 1894, the cost of
construction being met 10y loan OF
about so 100000. The road was re,
built in 1899 by =. Pearson * Son, a
British contracting firm, which also
constructed harbor terminals. The
cost was about S1OOOOO.OOO in Mexi
can money. \ managing partnership
was entered into between the govern
ment and the Pearsons, with a lease
of fifty years from July /, 1908.

Could / but make small men to grow.
To break frail spider webs that weave
About their thews and bind them low,
Could I but sing one song and lay
Grim doubt. l then could go my way
In tranquil silence. glad. serene
And satisfied. from off the scene.
But. ah this disbelief. this doubt,
This doubt of God. this doubt Of good
The damned spot will not out
Wouldst learn to know one little flower.
Its perfume, perfect form and hue?
Yea wouldst thou have one perfect hour
OF all the years that come to you?
Then grow as God hath planted, grow

AS he hath set his garden: be

Thy treasures up In heaven laid
Await thy sure ascending soul,

century before Christ, written on
papyrus by a priest to n priestess of
The temple of Amena-Ra and just dis
covered on the withered breast of the

affinities existed in Egypt thousands

which had been roughly treated in a

As yet the message has been trans

SAYS free construction Of it gives the
following meaning:
