IMAGINATION AND
UNSELFISHNESS
(By Ruth Cameron.)

~ 'N0N'' N'htichst
"One of the hardest things in the
world said the late Joseph Fels, "is
to convince the man with full stom-
ach that there is somebody hungry"
Mr.. Fels' apherism is very true in
the sense in which he means it, and
true in 900 other senses besides.
1t is very difficult for anyone who
has not experienced any given form
Of discomfort to sense that discom-
fort and realize that other people feel
it. The well-fed man may know, as
an abstract proposition, that other
people are hungry, but he does not
sense it as an actual, painful fact.
If we could really sense other
mems annoyances and troubles-of
course, | don't mean actually suffer
from them-but realize them, sense
them, half of the selfshness in the
world would take wings to itself.
For it isn't so much because we do
not will, as because we do not know,
that we permit others to suffer an
noyances or misery.
For instance, / have often noticed
that woman who has had to pre-
pare meals and who therefore knows
how hard it is to keep them appetiz-
ing # they are delayed, will seldom
permit herself to be late to the ta-
BILE. 1t is almost invariably the MAJ
culine members of the family, or those
feminine members who have not had
experience in housework, who are per
sistently careless about being on tim,
to their meals.
A mother told me the other day
that her older daughter was much
more considerate and sympathetic to
her than her younger. "You see,"
she eplained, my older daughter is
married and has children Of her own.
/ find that makes a great deal of
difference, my dear. don't blame
Hilda, for I'm sure she will be dif-
ferent when she has children of her
own and knows how much mothers
suffer for children and how much
children mean to them.
1t takes either much experien. : or
much imagination to be truly unself-
ish.
The most unselfish man III inr.Ation
whom know is sometimes quite self
ish in deed because he lacks iragi-
nation. He is generous to a fault
with money; he gives his wife more
Injuries than he has himself; he does
many kind things for her. But be-

Pueblo Man Owner Of
Entire Mexican Town

PUEBLO, June 2l.-W. C. Caring
ton secretary of the Real Estate ex-
change, has made the startling dis
covcry that he is the owner or at
least has a tax title to an entire
Mexican town in Las Animas county.
He bought the deed to 40-acre tract
which was advertised on tax sale,
without knowledge Of its character
further than that the assessment
value of the property was $500.
After purchasing, Darlington wrote
to an abstract company to get more
definite description of the tract and
got reply like this:
"The title Is in the name Of some
68 persons. The 40 acres is the site
of Mexican village. known as Los
Veros, near Segundo. There are about
thirty adobe houses on it and about
twice that many families. What are
you doing, starting republic or Z

England Celebrates
Alexandra Day

LONDON, June 24.-The wild rose
was the only badge that enabled ped
estrians to pass unmolested through
London streets Internationally to an
army of 10000 white-robed flower
hs,ellers, who waylaid the floraIly un-
adorned and reminded them that it
was Alexandra day. Inaugurated a
couple of years ago to celebrate the
fiftieth anniversary of Queen Mother
Alexandra's arrival in England, Alex
andre day has become an annual flor
al fete, and the esteem in which King
Georges mother is held was shown
by the unanimity with which Brit
ishers donner her favorite flower.
Real blossoms were plentiful, but
it was the artificial roses made by
the children of the cripples home that
we're generally worn. The profits
from their sale will be devoted to
charitable institutions in which Queen
Alexandra is interested. Last year
the takings were S250,0OO but with
200 of the principal towns in Great
Britain and many cities in Canada
participating, Miss May Beeman, or
ganizing secretary, predicts that the
$500,000 mark will be reached this
year. The saleswomen who hoped to
sell five million flowers, were all vol
unteers, and included a score of duch-
esses, marchionesses and countesses
and hosts of lesser society notables
wearing muslin gowns and plain hats.

Son Of Mediator

tBy Fred S. Ferguson.l


NIAGARA FALLS, Ont, June 24.
The delicate Mexican situation ana
possible international complications
have nipped rising playwright in

of the mediation conferences. While
the mediators have heard the argu-
ments TO the Mexican and American
delegates in an effort to reach an
agreement for the paciiicatior OF tie
southern republic, sons and daughters
of the principals have turned toward
every possible sort OF amusement TO
pass the time. The son Of Ambassa-
dor Naon, of Argentine, turneo play
wright--and then came the tragedy.
Romulo is II years old. His COM
panicn here is George Suarez, son OF
the Chilean minister. Having played
tennis and pool and worn themselves
out with other amusements this
youthful pair turned to the stage.
After Romulo had completed his
manuscript and the lines had been
memorized a dress rehearsal was held
to which "A favored few were invited

mulo was a bandit--a musical bandit.
He sang a song of his own compost
tion, but the first scene of the play
was enough to cause censor in the
person of Ambassador Naon to get on
the job.
This marvellous production opened
with what was designated as draw
ing room scene. Romulo and George,
in the characters they represented sat
sagely upon oppoite sides of the stage
and discussed the Mexican situation
from start to finish Ambassador
Naon read this part of the manu-
csript and promptly suppressed the

There are nearly dozen men,
young and old, in the United States
who are anxious to marry one of the
fair daughters of Emilio Rabasa, one
of the Mexican delegates to the me-
diation conferences. There are four
daughters, Isabel, Conception, Mer-
cedes and Ruth. Their pictures have
been published in papers throughout
the country, and now they are receiv-
ing letters almost daily from love-
lorn youths as far away as California.
Ruth is the youngest Of the four
sisters. She is 16, but at present
has received more letters than the
others. Conception, whose pet name
in the family is Concha, and is the
next youngest, is running Ruth close
second. One young man writing Ruth
begged that he be given picture.
He said if there was any cost incl
dent to having the picture taken he
would willingly forward the money.
Ruth can understand English, but
cannot speak it. Despite this handi-
cap she is favorite among the Am
erican friends the sisters have made
while in Niagara. They are accom-
plished dancers and there are few
new steps which they have not mas
tered.
