~ MY mind the most tragic thing
on earth is the unnecessary
trouble that we poor, foolish
mortals make for ourselves 1t would
seem that there are enough una yoidable
grlets-death, sickness, poverty, loss-to
tear like vultures at our hearts with
out cur going out of the way to manu-
tacture for ourselves a million torrents
that flay us alive.
But no. We court sorrow. and out of
conditions of life that should be filled
with nothing but Joy and gladness we
make misery and tears for ourselves
and those nearest to US.
The best illustration of this unaceount-
able human weakness is to be found in
the Telationsinlaw problem, where people
who should dwell together in peace and
amity seem to take a fiendish DELIGHT
in quarreling and pickering, although bv
so doing they ruin their own happiness
and make life a he'll on earth for all

Already the new instrument has been

works splendidiy." The test was made
with a lamb as the victim.
Desire for revenge is responsible for
the appearance of the guillotine in
Mexico. Gen. Gutierrezs brother-in-

time ago in battle against the fed
erals near Saltillo. The family of
Morales. including an infant daughter
and Gutierrezs sister, were living in
Saltillo. The federal commander ar
