Mexican Dignity,

Travellers say that an impoverish-
ed descendant of former wealthy
Mexican family is always glad to
earn a meager pittance as clerk in
a dry goods store. His shabby frock
coat and silk hat enable him to keep
up an air of decadent grandeur, and
he need not soil his cuffs. He can
still maintain an acquaintance with
the senoritas of the upper classes to
whom he sells silks.
Never could he do anything so un-
conventional as to go out in the
rough clothes of the farmer, winning
comfortable living from the rich
soil.
Dignity is the keynote of upper
class life. 1t has much to do with
the break with our people The
high class Mexican is a modern Don
Quixote. He reyels in high sounding
phrases, abstruse conversation, and
grandiloquent figures of speech. Bus
mess dealings are carried on with
many antecedent flourishes and pre-
liminary formalities.
The sharp demand of the Ameri-
can admiral that the United States
flag be saluted at certain day and
hour shocked all this elaborate stage
play. Very likely they would have
been willing to give salute, could
they have had several months to lay
out a scenario of forms and ceremo-
MES.
To the Mexican, the "gringos" are
rough and coarse Doors from the
Northland. The proceedings at Tam
pico and Vera Cruz shatter all their
fabric of conventionality.
Every other we'll dressed, educat-
ed man you NEE. on street in Mex
leo City is called Doctor of science,
philosophy, or letters. The alter
nate ones are largely generals.
All this seems like farce-comedy
to the business-like, simple-manner-
ed, rather abrupt American. He has
little use for mere time-killing mo-
tions. He prefers action to ceremo-
ny. In any reconstruction of the
Mexican life that the United States
may attempt, it must deal tactfully
with these national tendencies. They
can not be eradicated.

AFRAID OF APPLE CROP.
Inspection of Scott County Orchards
Shows Effect of Dry Fall Has
Been Serious.

Davenport, Ia, May 4.-Inspection
of orchards all over Scott county by
G. r. Bliss, county agriculturalist.
shows that the apple crop will in all
probability be short this year. I'm
favorable reports have been sent in
by the largest orchard owners to
strengthen the forecast resulting
from the inspection trip.
Lack of rain last fall, resulting in
retarding the process of bud forma-
ton, is given as the cause of the
shortage. The lack of moisture was
not considered serious last fall, but
when the trees began to blossom this
spring it was evident.
So far as is known the lack of
moisture affected equally the early
and late varieties. Jonathans are
one of the varieties which will with
out doubt return a small crop this
year.
Spraying demonstrations are being
carried on all over the county this
week, G. r. Bliss having charge of
the work. The latter part of the
week Prof. r. S. Herrick of Ames
will be here to assist in the demon

Imaginary Heart Trouble.

Do you have pains in the region
CT the heart? Does your heart
thump? It's terriable pounding
alarms you? What is wrong? DO
you believe these symptoms mean
heart trouble? Organic diseases Of
the heart very seldom occasion much
pain. Nearly all of these pains are
caused by some arrangement of the
stomach. Meritol Tonic Digestive is
especially recommended for indiges-
ton and dyspepsia, and for restor-
ing the stomach to its normal func-
tions and-no more heart disease"

Denver, April 2s.-Forest officers of
the sopris national forest were instrl-
mental in securing the arrest and con
viction of two young men of Aspen

state game laws. The young men, tax
ing advantage of the Sunday holiday
undertook fishing excursion on Ma
room creek on private lands belonging
to their father and were engaged in
catching fish with copper wire snares
when discovered by Forest Ranger
Halleck. Under arraignment before the
justice of the peace at Aspen they
were charged with violation of tae
state game laws on two counts, VIZ
that of fishing without licenses and
during the closed season, and for using
unlawful devices. The defendants
were found guilty on both counts. One
of them having pleaded guilty WIS
fined in the sum Of S25 and costs in
each instance; the other pleading not
guilty was fined $35 and costs on each
count.

". K. Callicotte, owner of one Of TIE
best ranches in the CarbOndale couA-
try, was here this week on his way
from visit to the ranch to Denver
where he has spent the greater part of
the past few years. He reports that
his daughters health has not been
good and that his wife and daughs1
spent the winter with him in the cap
ital city.
Mr.. Callicotte is another of the Car
bondale ranchers to take q high place
in the national eye. HIS work in this

ions are sought by leading magazines
of the country and by people in other
states who are giving ear to this call.
The Post predicts that Mr.. Callicotts

for by = national movement and that he
will do much to bring about the need
ed changes in present methods of treat
ing humanity.
