Mr. Ragland Writes Interesting
 Letter on This Subject.

Madison Heights, Va.-Mr. chas. A.. Pagland, of this place, writes: "l have been taking Thedford's Blaok-Draught for indigestion, and other stomach troub- les, also colds, and find it 10 be the very best medicine have ever used.

 Before leaving, Mir Flint said to Van Vechten:

 The young man nodded. "If am not here l shall leave word SO you may know where to find me"
 Tom, after the detective was gone reverted to a topic which he had preached earlier in the day.
 Are you going to use the motor foi while. Buddy? I want to take rut down to Maiden Lane if you're not" The other reused sufficiently from his puzzlihg reflections to give the speaker questioning look. "MaideI Lane?" he repeated.

tivation Is Required.

Kansas dispatches from Vera
Cruz say that after the recent battle
between the American marines and
the Mexican soldiers the remnants of
the troops of General Mas raided a
couple of cantinas or liquor shops
and were soon wandering about the
streets of the city intoxicated, says
the Kansas City Times. 1t is fairly
safe to assume that the shops supply
of pulque, the national drink of Next
co, was confiscated; for the peon fills
himself up with this strange drink on
the slightest provocation.
Cultivating the maguey plant, from
which pulque is made, is one of Mex
1co's most lucrative Industries, rank
ing almost on par with gold and sill

The owners of some of the large
haciendas live like feudal lords on
their vast estates. They have a large
retinue of servants and retainers.
They are men of great wealth and
power. Each hacienda is a little town

houses and stores, all the property Of

vantage and greatest height on the
table lands of Mexico. The plain of
Apam, not far from the City of Mex
leo, is noted for producing the best
pulque in the republic.
Acres and acres of the huge plants
can be seen growing on the great
haciendas. The trunk Of the plant is
a pineapple-shaped bulb with roots
widely spread out into the ground
This bulb Is called the "corazon" or
heart, and contains within a soft veg
etable pulp. From the outside huge
blades 10 to Is feet long radiate,
armed along their edges with sharp,
strong points, and eliminating at the
top in longer and stronger spike.
Being desert plant, the maguey
requires none OF the cultivation and
care that Is necessary in the cultiva-
ton of other crops. From the time OF

Mexican divides his land into Is or 20

Expedition to Define Boundary.

The Turco- Persian boundary has
heretofore been one of the prob
lematical features on the map of Asia.
AS far back as 1843, a mixed commits
sion attempted to define this frontier
with only partial success, and since
that time repeated efforts have been
made by the great powers, as well as
the two countries Immediately con-
cerned, to complete the task, but the
boundary has remained rather zone
of debatable territory than a definite
line. Finally. in November of last
year, a complete understanding on the
subject was reached, and a protocol
was signed In Constantinople in ac-
cordance with which a commission
consisting of British, Russian, Turkish
and Persian delegates will undertake
survey of the boundary. This is ex-

Buzzards Bay-By the opening OF a
sluiceway in Foleys dixie, the chief

UNRAVELING THE OLD LOVE TIE
A heart filled with GOODNESS,
Killed by Assembling.
Crushed by ingratitude,
nd-this-iS-Love.

When love words have been spoken
and plighted vows exchanged, the be.
lief is that the silken tie thus woven
is to last; that time will never change
it. There are loves and loves, Some
are of the quality which endures;
others are of so loose warp that it
soon trays out of its own volition,
In other words, the love which is
born of fleeting fancy soon filters out
of the heart, as though it were an
hour-glass.
There are men who cannot bind
their affections unto any one woman
for length of time without the tie
becoming irksome tc them. These are
tie men who deliberately plan to
break away. With some sweethearts
this is is not so easily done. There are
women whom love has so blinded that
they fail to realize their lover is losing
affection for them.
II he disappoints her by not COM
ing to take her out, she makes all
sorts of excuses in her heart for him.
The reason he offers is lame one, but
it passes with her. He makes up his
mind to break with her, surely, but
slowly. He cannot make her jealous
his coldness and lack Of attention to
her have no effect. Even the little
quarrels which he gets up she bridges
over without ado.
He finds it the most difficult task
of his life to unravel the old love tie;
it will stretch, but never break. He

their change of attitude toward her.
1t is cruel to allow her to feed her
heart on hopes of marriage which he
knows will never be realized. He must
know the fault of the situation is en-
irely his own. He made love to the

They must speak quickly if they
