went inside and secured a revolver and
then started after the robber. By this
time the man got behind the buggy

much courage, Mr. Smith started to
wards the man and made him throw
his knife away and hold up his hands
In the meantime Mrs. Smith went
back to the house and telephoned fol

MEXICAN MENACES,

If there is to be a real invasion of
Mexico-a march from the coast to
the capitalize sanitary forces of
the army will he pat 20 harder test
than they faced in the war with
Spain.
Mexico holds five particular men,
aces to health--yellow fever, small
pox, typhoid, malaria and typhus-
and the worst of these is typhus.
Yellow fever can be guarded against
by protecting the men from mosqui-
toes, and the same is true of malaria.
incubation may be relied upon to
keep smallpox ard typhoid down to
a minimum.
But typhus is another story. It's
percentage of fatalities is nearly so.
1t now exists in only three places in
the world-Asia Minor, northern
Africa, and the upland plains of
Mexico, the lands which an invading
army must cross to reach Hucrta s
citadel. 1t never has appeared in the
low lands near the coast. The ma
tives call it "tabardillo" or eel TITO"
1t has been called many names in

LONG-WINDED, STUPID
INDICTMENTS.

Are the lawmakers of this country
never going to reform the ridiculous
verbosity which has numbered indict-
ments and other legal documents
since before the time of Blackstone :?
These masterpieces of long-winded
phraseology waste time and money
and furnish excuses for demurrers
and delay. Indictments handed down
by grand juries in criminal cases are
among the worst offenders. As an
example of the clumsy, archaic form
of an indictment, here is part of The
bill against Mahoney, who shot the
corporation counsel:
Said Michael P. Mahoney, in
his right hand then and there had and
held. to. at. against and upon the said
Frank l.. Polk and the said John Pur-
roy Mitchell then and there wilIfulIy,
felOniOusly and OF his malice afOre-
thought and with deliberate and pre-
meditated design to effect the death of
the said Frank l. Polk and Of the said
John Purroy Mitchell did shoot off and
discharge, and the said Michael p Ma
=
out of the pistol aforesaid then and
there by force of the RunpoWder aforc-
said shot off, sent forth and discharged
as aforesaid. him. the said Frank l..
Polk. in and up the face and head Of
him the said Frank l.. Polk then and
there willfully. felOniously and Of his
malice afOrethOught and with a DELHI
crate and premeditated design to effect
the death of the said Frank l.. Polk and
OF the said joan Purroy Mitchell. did
strike, penetrate, and wound, giving
unto him the said Frank l.. Polk. then
and there with the leaden bullet afore-
said. so as aforesaid DISCHARGED. sent
forth and shot out of the pistol afore-
said by the said Michael p. Mahoney. in
and upon the face and head of him, the
said Frank J.. Polk, one wound Of the
breadth OF one inch and of the depth Of
six inches.
This ancient style was copied from
England's laws, and England does
not readily reform its ancient things.
But Canada, while extremely English
in most matters, has reformed the
phraseology of its indictments. In
stead of 500 or more words strung in
involved sentences, a murder indict
ment in Canada now reads about like
this:
To our Lord the King: We find that
John Smith murdered John Doe in the
city of Montreal on July 6. 1913.
When the names, the offense, and
