MEx1co's ANARCHY.

The recurrence in Mexico of more aggravated disorder is what intelli- gent observers foresaw, and can be predicted indefinitely.
 Surprise is often expressed that the Mexican people do not end an a1l- arcry prohibitive of prosperity, but no surprise is felt by those who know the Mexican people.
 Uncle Sam's southernnost neigh bors may roughly be divided into three classes. There are first the vast body of agricultural 1aborers or 'peons.s' They are about as good foundation for democratic institutions as a nation of 10 year .o1d school boys would be.
 Then there are the large land own .ers. These men are amiab1e. brave as Hons, hospitabIe to a fault Some power of domination has made them masters. and poured the ripe fruit of Mexico's resources into their indolent laps.

The little girl had 5ust%goEzse1rom her home to the bak- cry &waEDn which was on the opposite backstO a1er side Of the street when she sasw ft7ae big machine bear down upon her. TzBe little girl, frightened, stopped, and was hit by the radiator ef the car9 She had presence of mind to gSazp tk4s shood and hold on with as much strength as her little frame could master. The efnort undoubtedly sawedsher fnon. falling under the heavy car and being crushed.
 The car was stopped immediately. The ur1e girl stunned was car ried into he< home Dr. e. N. Hyde was sUxHxrzn<rasd and adm ast st cred to her wants. He folfzd thAt Hle little girl had susta1ned several bruises where ths car had Scraiped her body, but that there were no bones broken. He, however, adSgsed, fearing that there might be possible internal in 5urtes, that the little girl be put to bed
 The accident probably would newer have happened if the little girl had not looked around and seen the car almost on top of her. If she had kept on running across tn road, the ma chine would have swerved about her and gotten out Of the way. Selectnnan Bailey stated that he applied the brakes, but saw that it was almost impossible to prevent striking the child He tried his best and swung his car sharply to the left, intending to 20 around the back of the girl. He probably might have been successful had the little girl not stopped in her running
 Sheriff Ewood was soon on the scene and made an investigation He did not hold MT. Baile1, who talked with the chi1d's family, promising to pay all charges that might accrue from injuries done the little girl

 This Evening.

Annie E. Payne, the well known woman long distance swimmer who is staying at the Poplar cottage, Laurel Beach, swam from her cottage to Charles Island a couple of days ago. Although the distance was several miles the swimmer did not appear fatigued at the end of it and said that she felt she could easily do it over again. This is the same young lady who swam from the bathing paw i1ion at Seaside park to steep1echase Island a couple of years ago.
 THE BIG BENEFIT
 All roads will lead to Carey's danc- ing pavilion at Walnut beach this ev- ening where the big benefit for St. GabrieIs R. c. church is to be held There are 37 varieties of vaudeville acts on the evenings program, thu show being one of the best ever put on at one time in any city or town in this section of the State. So great has been the demand for tickets for the performance that it is doubtful if all the people who want to see the the show can be accommodated. It looks as if it will have to be a case of first come first served.

MFsN's SUMMER CLOTHING.

A society woman from another city remarked in the hearing of the writer the other day, that it is too bad that naer clothes. She noted that while women have their open work and low necks, the men are sweltering in wool coats and starched collars.
 "Of course" she continued, "a gen tIeman does not expect to remove his coat.''
 When Uncle Reuben used to drive to church of a summers day. ten 70 one he had on a black alpaca coat that constituted a bu1gy and uncouth hg- ure. But the coat was comfortable and appropriate.

 whether or not it pays to carry neatness and style to the point of dis comfort is doubtful. But it is with regret that the writer heard the dic- tum of his society friend quoted above, that the gentleman might not remove his coat.

'EcHoEs FROM vAGABoNDLA.- ;
Bliss Carman's Latest Collection oG
 BIithe Songs and Other Verses.

A sure welcome awaits any new verse from Bliss Caman. No one of our poets can sing of Nature and the joys of life in the great out of doorat with quite the same lit. His mama will always be associated with that of Richard Hovey, whose muse was sOs closely akin, and in collaboration with whom he wrote the three volumes of Songs from Xagabondia." Since HO@ vey's death Carman has continued un- til his separately published co1lec- t1ons number four or more The last published by Small, Maynard 6 Co.,, fs Echoes from Vagabondia," and the opening poem begins in this charac~ teristtc and infectious manner:
 Over the hills of April
 With soft winds hand in hand,
 Impassfonate and dreamy-eyed.
 Spring leads her saraband-
 Her garments float and gather
 And swirl along the plain,
 Her headgear is the golden sun,
 Her cloak the silver rain
 The most noteworthy, however, of these poems is that which describes with remarkable felicity and force s'f characterization. Mark Twain, as he came to 'TThe last day at Stermfield'' and passed beyond. It is in fact a more vivid characterization and pie ture of the man than one easily re members in recent verse:
 Fearless, extravagsnt, wild, His caustic merciless mirth
 Was Ievelod at tpompous sham,
 Doubt not behind that mask
 There dweIt the soul of a man,
 Resolute, sorroWing, sage,
 As sure a champion of good
 As ever rode forth to fray.
 HapIy-who knows?-somewhers
 In Avalon, Isle of Dreams !, In vast contentnent at laSe,
 With every grief done away,
 While Chaucer and Shakespeare
 wait, t
 And MoIiere hangs on his words.
 And Cervantes not far of
 Listens and smiles apart
 With that comparable drawi
 He is testing with Dagouet now. The closing lyric in this little vol unle could scarcely have been written by any other hand; it is in no way re- markable and yet 1t is a pleasant bit like a vista of meadow-land with O purling brook:
 We travelled empty-handed
 With hearts all fear above,
 For we ate the bread of friendship We drank the wine of love.
 Through many wondrous auruz=z Through many a magic sp<--
 We hailed the scarlet banners
 We heard the b1ue-bi sing.
 We looked on life and nature
 With eager eyes of youth,
 And all we asked or cared for
 Was beauty, joy and truth.
