INVESTMENTS IN MEXICO.

The extent Of United States invest
ments in Mexico are enormous. 1t to-
tails at $1,05T, 700, 600, while the in
yestment of the MeXicans in their
own country is only $793,197,242. Ihat
means that entirely aside from the
question Of national honor the AmerI-
cans have 265, 5S2, 1853 more dollars IN
that country shan the people who &C.
cupy it and claim it as their own.
This is an extraordinary showing,
but the American consul at Chihua-
hua, Marion Letcher, vouches for the
accuracy of this statement. Over ST.
O29, 900, 900 American money is being
used to develop the natural resources,
while only a little more than $43O,0OO,-
600 Of the Mexican money is devoted
to that purpose. Americans hold over
four times az many dollars worth of
Mexican railroad securities as the ma
tives, and their belongings in Mexican
national bonds in almost three times
greater than that Of the natives. Great
Britain, Germany. France and Spain
are great investors in Mexico. aside
from their enormous holdings of ma
tional bonds.
The showing is one that may well
surprise those who lac felt that they
had a pretty fair knowledge Of how
deeply this country was financially
interested in Mexico.

The centennial will celebrate the
dramatic event which marked the be-

of the Napoieonic wars the great pow

Denmark to give UP Norway, which
had been attached to Denmark for 434
years, to Sweden, and provided a ruler

and vas now given Norway in coln-
pensatton.
The Norwegians rebelled against
this disposition of their country, and
under the leadership OF Prince Chris
tian Frederick refused to submit to
Sweden. In the face OF all Europe,
Norway declared its independence and
proceeded on May II, 1914, to adopt q
constitution. The prince was elected
king and since that day May II has
been to the Yeople Of Norway what the
Fourth Of July is to the United States.
Sweden went to war against the new
ountry and the struggle continued
until November, 1914, when peace was
made which led to a union on an equal
basis. The union lasted until 1905,

Daddy's Bedtime
~ How the Little
NfOTV~ Pigs Enjoyed
d" the Clouds.

@TRANGELY enough, daddy had never told the children a story about
be told about anything before he told an aeroplane story.
Jack loved to get hold OF all the pictures he could to see just how
the aeropdanes did look and how they really did fly. So when daddy told
them he had ar aeroplane story for them both Jack and Evelyn were de-
lighted. '".
Il an going to tell you this evening" said daddy, "a story about three
little pigs and their ride in an airship.
There was q young nan who owned an arship. But besides this he also
had a small farm, and three little young pigs had just been added to it.
THE young man thought the little pigs were 10 cunning that he hardly
wanted to leave them, even for his arship, of which, Of course, he vas very
fond. So the only thing left for him to do he decided, was to take the little
pigs for a trip in the arship.
When he asked the little pigs If they would like to fly with him they did
look very much surprised, but as they didn't know what to say they gave
their usual answer of sQueaL but it sounded like a strong and enthusiastic
squeaL So he picked them up and put them into the waiting airshp.
$50 off into the air, up near the clouds, they went The little pigs were
not at all frightened, and they seemed to like the clouds. The young man
decided that they must like extreme things, for they liked to get under the
earth, and they seemed to very much enjoy getting way up In the air.
"Of courset they squeahed, but they sQueaRd for joy, and they we're just
as good as could be.
When they got to the earth again after a good, long trip they really
seemed to be VERY much disappointed that such a fine trip had come to an end.
Then when they got to the barnyard once more you should have heard
the noise. OF course the pigs had to tell all the other animals about their
trip, and the more they talked the loude- were their voices.

LUCKY NUMB n

London Tit-Bits: There are few
men who do not believe, although they
might blush to confess it, that certain
numbers bring them luck, while others
are unkind to them, and so 1t has al
ways been ever since, in the dim ages,
three, seven and ten were held to be
sacred and fortunate numbers, while
six and thirteen were associated with
misfortune. And today, as when time
was young, three and seven. are still
the luckiest of all the numerals, while
thirteen is i'll omen as when it was
the number Of the guests at the last
supper.
Belief in the number three was al
most "a religion to Bismarck, for it
ran like a vein Of gold through all his
dazzling career. He served under
three, monarchs, and in three great
wars, and signed three treaties of
peace. He was the father Of the triple
alliance, and from his three names
and as many words in his family mot
to, strength in Trinity" and his
three children, there was no period of
undertaking in his life in which this
sacred" figure was not of the best
omen to him.
The figure nine has played as equal
ly prominent part in several royal
lives, notably in those Of Queen Vic
toria, her daughter. the German en-
press and her grandson, the present
kaiser. Queen. Victoria assembled the
throne when 10 years of age, in 1887
lxSx3x7-19-and was the ninth
sovereign in succession after the revo-
luton in 1888. The princess royal
married at 10, and King Edward, who
was born on Nov. 8, was married In

THE NAT

I ride to a tourney with sordid things;
They grant no quarter, but what care
I?
My casque is crested with iron wings,
And love, for a sword, at my stirrup
swings,
And shrill in my ear Truths trumpet
sings:
Though they slay you, you shall
not die"
I have bartered and begged, I
have cheated and lied;
But now, however the battle be-
tide,
Uncowed by the clamor. l ride,
ride, ride!
Who will may splinter the shopmen's
Such deeds as these be no deeds
of mine.
Not by tumult nor wrong do I measure
my gains,
But where gentleness triumphs and
violence wanes,
With foot in the stirrup and hand on
the reins
You may see my buckler shine.
l have been wanton and queen
and bride,
1 have yelled my soul for my
DOhJ . PAAbOJ
Now, mighty in armor, I ride, ride,
ride!
l ride to the battle with lust and
greed.
Why marvel We hen at a woman
in arms?
I am sprung from the loins of a mar
tial breed
Heir to the lances at Runnymede,
Cromwells courage and ITeton's speed
And YOrktown's blood-sOaked farms.
Mother O. God that was crucified,
Mother O. men that have dreamed
and died
Like the sons I have borne, I will
ride, ride, ride!
l ride to the battle for childrcn's
wrongs;
For the goal that is barred by the
lances' gleam.
Flame springs in the heart that yearns
and longs,
And a faith to conquer the knocking
throngs-
There's a ring of swords in my cradle
songs;
Spears fash through my broodins
dream.
I who have wept for the life de-
MED,
Who have quenched the flame that
l could not hide
1t is done! H~enCeforth, l will ride
ride, ride!

SIGNIFICANT FIGURES.

The trouble in Colorado is clearly
based upon something more funda-
mantal than the lamentable lack OF
dtpiornacy on the part Of union leaders
and the haSitually arrogant attitude
Of the operators.
A writer in The Boston Transcript
who gives a painstaking and thorough
account Of the situation n Colorado
makes these amazing statements:
"onusFtins pennsylvania, there were
only Sour states having a higher death
list In 1911, though Colorado ranks
eiEhth among he producing states
During 1911 there were My four
a+sAas In which the percentage OF
desxhm to the number employed was

shanen. but management, which deter
ThE1es requests.
The facts show that the miners in
Colorado have not been receiving
PROPER attention from those who en-
rloy them and who are making large
fortunes out of them; and this is a
condition which cannot be given too
much weight in n decision which
seekm to place the blame for the re-
cent difficulties. as between miners and

II is as if, in paying a debt, n should
be charged with trucking to his
creditor. 1t is too senseleSS to fool a
human being who does not want to be
fooled. That at the moment when the
liberal British government is trying to
do justice to Ireland IT should be rais-
ed by the Irish in America-thus max
ing themselves a part of the alliance
of the Tories and the Orangemen in
Ulster against their own home rule
friends and comrades-raises the old
specter Of "~d:sunited, therefore blight
ed''. which Tor 800 years enslaved the
bravest and sweetest Of Gods crea-
lures. On that side it is positively
pitiful.
But it has another side. Coming in
to world politics or a world power,
shall any foreign-born segment of the
people undertake to predetermine what
we may or may not do? I I'm the
