If g fellow hits his finger with a hammer while hanging a picture ll his own home, he swears bit, sucks the injured digit-if it isn't to' dirty-and tries to forget all about the miscue. But if he does the same thing while in the employ of CO., poration, he goes home and to bea, and later files suit for about 'steel thousand, declaring he has been crin- pied for life and placing the entire blame on the corporation. This is corporation batting with vengeance. Many of these damage suits are Ii = tie more than legalized hold-ups, an'l honest men who would not heslta'e in turning a robber over to the jaller will, as juror in such case, put his hand in the corporations safe, dra" out a wad of money and give it to the permanently crippled" and his lawyer, who stroll down to the nearest refreshments emporium and split the "bOOty."

Acts of the Apostles.

CHAPTER 9.
 Now when Festus was come into thu province, after three days he ascend cd from Caesarea to Jerusalem.
 Z. Then the high priest and tiit chief of the Jews informed hin against Paul, and besought him.
 B. And desired favour against him that he would send for him to Jerusa- lem, laying wait in the way to kill him.
 4. But Festus answered, that i'aui should be kept at Caesarea, and that , he himself would depart shortly thither.
 5. Let them therefore, said he which among you are able, go down with me, and accuse this man, if there be any Wickedness in him.
 6. And when he had tarried among them more than ten days, he went down unto Caesarea; and the next day sitting on the judgment seat com manded Paul to be brought.
 z. And when he was come the Jews which came down from Jerusalem stood round about and Had many and grievous complaints against Paul which they could not prove.
 s. While ne answered for himself, Neither against the law of the Jews neither against the temple, nor yet against Caesar, have 1 offered any thing at all.
 g. But Festus, willing to do the Jews a pleasure, answered Paul, and said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me
 10. Then said Paul, stand at Caes- sar's judgment seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have l done no wrong, as thou very we'll knowest.
 II. For if I be an offender, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be none of these things whereof these accuse me, no man may deliver me unto them. I appeal unto Caesar.
 12. Then Festus, when ne had con- ferred with the council, answered, Hast thou appealed unto Caesar? unto Caesar shalt thou go.
 13. And after certain days king Agrippa and, Bernice came. unto Caes- area to salute F!estus.
 IA. And when they had been there many days, >Festus declared Paups cause unto the king, saying, There IS a certain man left in bonds by Felix:

ton manufacturer than the custom
 now followed, the Saturday Evenins Post says: {
 From a New England cotton-trad,
 report, written in October, we takt the following: "The decline"-in the price of raw cotton-"has tended t. confirm the opinion held generally ir mill circles that the staple will ge down to six cents a pound, delivered in New England; consequently manu- lecturers have held off from buying more than they need for immedia c requirements"
 If the price does go down to six cents pound delivered in New Eng land great many Southern cotton growers will be bankrupt; for that price does not nearly cover the cost of production. With that painful ex- perience in mind, next year and the year following they will probably plant much smaller area to cotton, and the price will go up, so as to work hardship on the mills.
 That IS the law of unrestricted in- competition-chew the other fellow when you can get him down, and expect to be chewed in turn when he can get you down. To everybody concerned how much more profitable finally--and more edifying would be.

The Dawn of Christianity
As Described ln THE NEW TESTAMENT Translated from the Original Greek.

Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews in formed me, de- string to have judgment against him. 16. To whom l answered, It is not !! the manner of the Romans to deliver any man to die, before that he which is accused have the accusers face to face, and have licence to answer for himself concerning the crime laid against him.
 17. Therefore, when they were come hither, without any delay on the MOTION l sat On the judgment seat, and commanded the man to be brought forth.
 IS. Against whom when the accus- CTS stood up, they brought none accu- sation of such things as I supposed:
 19. But had certain questions against him of their own superstition, and of one Jesus, which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
 20. And because I doubted of such manner of questions, 1 asked him whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these matters.
 2l. But when Paul had appealed to be reserved unto the hearing of Au- gustus, I commanded him to be kept till l might send him to Ceasar.
 22 Then Agrippa said unto Festus, ! would also hear the man myself. Tomorrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.
 23. And on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, With great pomp, and was entered into the place of hearing, with the chief cap tains, and principal men of the city, at Festus' commandment Paul was brought forth.
 24. And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men which are here present with us, ye see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews nave dealt with me, both at Jerusalem, and also here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.
 25. But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and that he himself hath appealed to Augustus, I have determined to send him.
 26. Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto my lord. Where fore ! have brought him forth before you, and specially before thee, o king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I might have something to write.
 27. For it seemeth to me unreason- able to. send prisoner, and not with al to signify the crimes laid against him.

Spain dominated Mexico. A century
ago bold effort for freedom was
started, which eventually resulted in
the Republic of Mexico Of today.
More than half of the first century
OF Mexican independence was abor-
tive, one coterie after another COM
ing into temporary power, and a
number of these acclaimed rulers,
after brief regimes, meeting ignomin-
ious death at the hands Of the peo-
pie they sought toIgoyern.
The form of; government adopted
by Mexico follows In general that Of
the United States, having executive,
judicial and legislative divisions.
Each OF thes27 States is represented
inetwo houses of Congress, compos-
ed Of Senators andSDeputies. Con-
gress holds two sessions each year
for limited periods. Each State has
Its governor and legislature, and is
kubdivided into districts, or coun-
ties. over each of which a "jefe
politiso. is placed, the districts hav-
ing. subsidiary municipalities. with
magistrates, presiding officials and
councils. The so-called autocratic
feature OF the government may be
largely due, to the fact. that COVER
nors hold office with approval of the
President; that jefe politicos have
similar relations with the govern
|ors, and that the officers Of the mum
icipalities; are generally controlled by
the iefe politicos.
The. church and state are indie
pendent, and Congress cannot pass
laws prohibiting or. establishing any
religion. OF the 100000 in
habitants, two-ffths. claim direct
descent from ancient tribes or FAM
lilies which are accepted as tile basis
