JOKE ON CURIOUS NEIGHBORS
Young Wife Was scoIding Curly
Haired Black Pup and Not Her
Husband, as Was Supposed.

Hise name was Charlie and they
had been married only a week. She
was particularly affectionate and
their thin-walled apartment concealed
little of import from curious neigh
bors. One night the neighbors gasped
in amazement and then suspended all
other things to listen, says Columbus
Dispatch. "She' was speaking in stri-
dent, angry tones.
Charlie" she was saying imperi-
ously, IF you ever come into this
house again and muddy my carpets
with your feet, right back home you
go!"
Gosh! A divorce" breathed the
next-door man to his wife. They spent
most of the night wondering whether
the newlyweds could live together
another week.
We'll, he had no right to spoil her
carpets" commented the wife with a
finality that ended the discussion.
Next morning a curly-haired black
pup was cavorting over the lawn of
the newlyweds.

No, sir; it's too pretty to eat. I'm
going to keep it, the little girl re-
piled, as she stroked it with a moist
little hand.
Several days later the minister saw
her again, and inquired about the cat.

casionally, the local authorities round
up bunch of the men and set them
to work upon neighboring plantations,
but it is said that they are so weak
and indolent as to be of little value
when it comes to manual labor.
The women are noted for their love
of gold coins and colored finery of
dress. Their penchant for collecting
gold coins which they wear in the
form Of necklaces had it's origin, it
is said, during the period when great
numbers of American adventures
made their mad rush across the 18TH
mus Of Tehuantepec on their way to
the California gold fields in the late
40's. When Tehuana woman once
comes into possession of gold piece
she will not part with it no matter
to what degree of poverty she may be-
come reduced. Many of these women,
whom one sees in the wonderful mar
ket places, wear strings of gold coins
aggregating several hundred dollars.

than 1900 different varieties of or

1t Is interesting to note that several
celebrated ethnologists who made re-
search into the existing native tribes
of Chiapas and the ruins of a pre-
historic civilization that existed there,
believe it to have been the cradle of
the human race" In this connection
it may be stated that the mountain
tribes of Indians of Chiapas as we'll as
the Tehuana Indians Of Tehuantepec
bear in many respects remarkable
resemblance to the Orientals, both in
personal characteristics and in their
established customs. 1t is in the
northern part of Chiapas that the
ruins OF Palenque, which have long
afforded an inspiring work of research
on the part of psychologists, are To-
Gated. The most authentic estimate
of the history Of the remains Of the
city that is now called Palenque is
that it was abandoned more than 500
years ago.
