Solomon and the Widows Pigs

rTOm lHe T I-IildueipHld ReCOTu
 Sanbury, Pa.-Squire M. P. Tierney of Northumberland was called upon to de- eide an unusual case here today. Mrs. Mary Mahoney and Mrs. Ida Campbell, widows, who live in a twin house, have to work for their daily bread and they de- eide that it would reduce the high cost of living if they should each keep a pig. A further saving was decided upon by having single hog pen built This was done, and two piggies were bought, each woman paying half the cost.
 One night while they slept one of the pigs was stolen. Each woman said the others was missing and they ended the argument in a row, in which both suffered more or less injury.
 Then they got Into the squire's office with their troubles, and Mrs. Mahoney said: Its my big pig which Is left, be- cause 1t is the one that always ran to me when I fed it. as it did today"
 Mrs. Campbell testified: Squire, know it's my pig. because one always squealed when fed it and the one that's left squealed when I gave 1t the leavin' of my dinner"
 Have it killed and butchered, and be sure that each of you gets half the sau- sage and scrapple." decided the squire, . true Solomon, as he dismissed the case.

MexicO's Indian Rulers

All the men who in the last half cen tury have shown any capacity to govern Mexico have been largely or wholly of the indigenous race. Juarez was a full blooded Indian of the Zapoteca tribe
 settled from time immemorial in DOT tons or the territory forming the pres- ent state of Oaxaca, the builders, per- haps, of the palaces of Mitla President sebastian Lerdo de Tejeda was of pure European descent and he was driven rom the country by the revolution of Tuxtepec. which elevated Porfirio Diaz to power in 1878. Though Diaz. accord ing to his biographies, was able to trace ms maternal descent in part to an Eighteenth century emigrant from the mountains of Asturias and his pa-
 ternal descent to one of those early Andalusian settlers in Oaxaca who gave to us cnier city the name of Antequara, rom the town in southern Spain where the Christian chivalry used so often to ioregather Tor their forays into the territory of the Grenadine Moors, the
 fact is that the former president
 showed in his physique and tempera-
 ment the predominant Characteristics
 or the Mixteca divided by long-stand-
 ing trlnal feuds from the Zapoteca. says Louis c. Simonds, in the Atlantic.
 Senor Madero was of European descent his Family. I have been told, were originally Portugese Jews who settled In Mexico in colonial times; and in his attempt to govern Mexico according to his own enlightened and humane ideals he failed as disastrously as Maximfl- ian had failed. Victoriano Huerta is not. as has been stated, a full -blooded Indian, though in sentiment undoubt- edly more Indian than Caucasian. He is rescended presumably, in respect of his Indian strain. from those warlike Aalixca whose name has survived in that of the present state of Jalisco. and who gave so much trouble to Cristobal de Onate and Pedro de Alvafado

JACKSON ENFORCES
 THE ANTI-TIPPING
 LAW TO THE LETTER

Jackson, Miss, July 25.-(Special.) )-The travelling public, hotel, restaurant. sleep ing car and other porters will become convinced with few more examples and demonstrations that the anti-tipping law is going to be enforced in Jackson, re- gardless of what other towns may do. The first arrest and fine under this law was made last Sunday morning, but the fine was pardoned by the mayor for the reason that 1t was the first case, and the drummer was told to go and sin no more-or words to that effect
 At the same time it was announced that the law is going to be enforced The Trav- elers association officers, who are the fathers of the law, have asked it's en- forcement, and they have been prom ised that it will be, not only by city but by county officers.
 This morning Sheriff Middleton stepped off a sleeper, having just returned from a visit to Hot Springs. About the same time H. Y. Meyer, travelling salesman for Armour x Co.,, got off the sleeper and handed the porter a tip. The sheriff told both of the principals to this tipping transaction that he had witnessed it, and to 'come with me-" The drummer and the negro porter were arraigned before Justice of the Peace Spraggins, and both were fined-the drummer S1 and costs, the porter $5 and costs. Just why such dis tinction is not known, but the drummer paid up and then contributed $2 towards paying the negro's fine, the balance being made up by passing around the hat. The Hinds county sheriff states that he does not like to make such arrests, but he has been appealed to by represen- tative Mississippi travellers to assist in making the travelling public respect the anti-tipping law, and when it is violated right under his nose he is bound to act
