Unlike Mexican In Appearance.
In appearance the new Provisional
President is totally unlike the average
Mexican. He is tall, slender and fair
haired. He walks with a slight limp

years ago. He dresses in excellent
taste and has a charm Of manner
which makes him universally popular
In social life. He belongs to a number
of clubs, scientific and literary socie-

He lives in splendid style in beautiful
home surrounded by all the luxury SO

He is an expert at billiards. and is
said to be passionately fond of music.

never been coupled with scandals of

He has always been regarded as
friendly toward the United States. and

never fully acknowledged the Cen

he is rich and that he is friendly with
the men who for the past fifty years
have been getting rich off the work of

has made no statement as to what he
thinks of the selection, but as he is
perhaps the best educated of all the

lead the others into his views, although

Just now everybody is asking: Who
are these two men? What of their
lives? OF Carranza they know some
thing because of his victories, but of
carbajal the general public knows al
most nothing-not even how to pro-
nounce his name. and all sorts of dis
cussions have arisen over that. It is,
however, very simple Spanish name
and Is pronounced "Carbahal," as the
J is pronounced h, which makes the
last three letters spell "halr' instead
Of SAL" with the accent on the last
letters.

into the good graces of some Indian
he may hear this old story Of the
lake: MANY moons ago when the
Blackfeet owned everything from the
Rocky Mountains to Hudson Bay
there came famine SO there was NO
green spot save around Medicine Lake.
1t was then that the wise men Of the
tribe built two medicine lodges at
the lakes now called Two Medicine
and after prayer and fasting they had
a vision. This directed that they send
seven OF their old men to the great
Chief Mountain where the Wind God
made and unmade the rain. So the
patriarchs went but as they failed to
influence the Wind God. Seven young
braves were commissioned who related
the woes Of their people SO eloquently
that the great god in Chief Mountain
slowly quivered his wings and smote
the air until dark clouds arose and
rain fell and ever afterwards the lakes
were called Two Medicine"

OF course this park has become g.

the names of some OF these animals as

crosses rivers where fords are to be
found. and how its deep. partially
grass-lined ruts still show? oh, 1t is
a wonderful trail in its historical sig
niflcance!
This trail was well beaten long be-
fore the landing of Columbus. And
It exists today. Sometime the stories
of the Old North Trail will be writ
ten. Some day its Indian legends
which are associated with its tor
tuous way as it runs from the cold
regions near the Arctic to the jungles
o1Central America will be partly given
to the world. Then it will tell of
Hudson Bay fur traders of prospect
ors, of engineers who have gladly fol-
lowed Its leadings. And coming down
to present history 1t will speak of the
beautiful Glacier National Park whose
lakes. glaciers. rivers and flower
strewn passes are in It's historic path.
Strange. mysterious, ancient trail.
In Its tourneyings 1t comes near mod.
ern cities like Helena, Montana, and
then it reaches out into solitudes thar
versed them. If its traditions could
be written they would fill q volume
and its stories would be of bravery
and daring. of men who have risked
all and who have blazed the way for
future generations to follow. One
thing Is known and that is that for
countless generations. way back be-
fore men knew that history was be-
ing made, this trail was known to and
used by the Piegan Indian tribe Of
Canada and Montana. 1t has been
used by them in their. migrations and
in their passing to and fro to meet for
sacred conclaves and yearly dances
and ceremonies. Yet 1t does not ba-
long to them. 1t belongs to no man
and yet to all. To the red man and
the white man. to any who may wish
to use it. But 1t is closely associa-
ted with these Indians who come from
Canada to join with their tribal broth
ers the Blackfeet as they celebrate
their religious festivals.
