Americans must understand one thing
AT the outset They have read of severe
factional disturbances. battles, murders
injuries. As a matter OF fact, no more
than 100000 persons have been involved
on both sides In the revolution. Fifteen
million persons in Mexico to-day have
not participated In the struggle, have not
participated in any of the acts or plans
on either side. They number among them
the business men. the statesmen, the solid
citizens Of the republic. This is the vas,
majority OF the citizens of the entire re-
public Why war with them? tel,

Mexico In this trouble you do no, know

lous. or course you will take all tn.

the war will have just begun. Guerrilla
warfare will swallow your time your

This war will divide the Latin and

CHAPTER XII.

The celebration over, the mill once
more settled down to that industrial
peace which is accompanied by the
deafening roar Of machinery, the
clamor Of the busy hammer on the
nail, sinking home in packing boxes,
the shouts of workingmen and women
forced to thrust their words above the
strident medley which surrounds them
There was new life in the old mill,
new confidence had taken place of
fear and fierce antagonism in the
hearts of hundreds, an esprit de corps
had been born suddenly such as had
not existed in that factory for many
years. In one happy sentence of his
bashful speech Broadway had struck a
keynote. He had said:
"And-er-now, you fellows keep
your brains-er-busy with this stu
alton. I have bucked the Trust I've
bucked the Trust for you and the old
town. Now if you don't help me beat

Old Measurements of Time.

Sand glasses for measuring time
were made as soon as the art of
blowing glass had been perfected by
the people Of Byzantium These
glasses were used for all sorts or
purposes, for cooking and for making
speeches, but their most important
use was at sea. In order that ones
position at sea might be figured. it
was important in those early days to
know the vessels speed. The earliest
method was to throw over a heavy
piece Of wood Of a shape that resisted
being dragged through the sea, and
with a string tied to it. The string
bad knots in it and the block of wood
was called log. The knots were SC
arranged that when one of them ran
