luxury as silk underwear. silk shirts
OF finest texture-about two dozen OF

Mr.. Brokaw, alias Bond, was quite
Indignant when the officers arrested

finally chatted quite cheerfully about

He told the officers tht while they
were making no mistake In CHASING
him as a swindler, he was very glad
to say that they had nothing on him,

about his acquaintance with Mr..
Blank, OF the New York. London or

PRICES IN MEXICO

ApOlogists for the series of revolutions and civil wars that have afflicted Mexico say that they nave been intended for the benefit ot the poor. They are called move meuts to improve the lot of the com mon people iu a land of general poverty.
 Prices for food in Monterey, one of the nose prosperous cities in lIeNico. are a striking commentary upon such pleas for four years of widening disorder, lawlessuess and 6lOodshed. Under military orders Ind the threat of severe punish meut for disobedieu,e, merchants .u Monterey have been forced to charge no more than so cents a peek for corn instead of $2. That IS they are obliged to take $3.20 a Uushel instead of SS for the grain which is more eaten in Mexico than any other cereal. In like manner beans have been cut to 25 cents a quart, or at the rate of $S a bushel. Flour was sold at 50 cents a pound. The new arbitrary price IS 30 cents a pound, or at the rate of $5S.SO a Larrel. Sugar, a Mexican product, must be sold at 27 cents a pound IT, stead of 40 cents.
 These prices, Of course, are in Mexican money which is steadily growing more nearly worthless. It is all that the poor can earn. It is the currency in which they are paid for their work.
 What will a year or two more of civil war do for-or do tO-the poor people of Mexico? Is it strange that they turn bandits or join armies of near bandits, in their misery and their despair? And when, if ever, will the wretchedness of the Mexican people drive home the lesson that peace and order are absolutely vital to comfort, pros berity and national life and hope for the future?-Clevela Leader.
