Mexican History

something of the vicissitudes ~ +ba
life Of Mexico may be gained from a
or'ei glance at a chronology of i'm
portant events in the country Of a hum

lon OF the Aztecs by the Spaniards
spain attempted to rule the country nv
enslaving the natives and inducing col
onlsts 70 marry native women in order
mat new race with European blood
IN 1t might be established. Various
plans OF government were tried. and
hnaiiy the country was named New
spain and made vice-royalty, sixty
four viceroys ruling over it between
1885 and 1921. SPANS purpose in re-
tanning the country was chiefly to ex-
plot it without regard for the future of
the natives. This policy continued for
many years, but the natives were in
practically continuous state Of re-
bellion. In 1908 Napoleon shattered the
military power of Spain and incident
ally deprived it Of the source Of its
power over the natives of Mexico. The
natives then had to decide whether
they would follow the usurper, Joseph
Bonaparte, the revolutionary junta or
the captive king. But taste for free
dom created desire for more, and in
1910, under priest. Don Miguel Hidal-
70. the creoles rose against what was
left Of the power above them. There
after the principal events were as fol-
lows.
1911. Hidalgo was defeated, captured
and executed.
1913. His successor. another priest,
Morelos, proclaimed the independence
Of Mexico.
1915. Morelos executed.
1921. After six years Of revolution
there was a compromise between Itur-
bide, a creole general against the revo-
lutionists, and Guerrero. the leader of
the revolution, and an Independent
limited monarchy was decided on. The
monopolists refused to abide by the
terms. The viceroy sent force against
Iturbide. The viceroy was deposed and
another was sent who made peace with
Iturbide, recognizing Mexican indie
pendence. This viceroy died and the
home government repudjated his agree
ment.
1922. The first Mexican congress met.
Santa Anna proclaimed the republic.
Iturbide proclaimed a monarchy, with
himself emperor.
1928. Iturbide betrayed and deported.
He was induced to return and was then
shot.

WINSLOW WOMAN.
WIFE OF SOLDIER.
is IN DISTRESS

The work of giving relief to the mem
bers Of the families Of the boys of Com
pany H and the Hospital Corps who are
serving on the border is progressing in
good shape and so far there has been
very little call from the dependents. The
local committee got peculiar case on
Friday night when Miss Gaylord was ask
ed by a woman who lives in Winslow for
help. According to the story told her. the
family had moved from Waterville abou,
three months ago and had a small place
which they had purchased in that town.
1t had taken all of their available money
and when the husband was called to the
front he left behind a wife and small
baby without means of support He had
been earning sl2 week and this was, OF
course. entirely cut off. Miss Gaylord
called the selectmen of Winslow, as OF
course it was impossible for the city Of
Waterville to give aid to Winslow citi-
zens. and she was told very politely but
firmly that they were very sorry for the
woman, but that they could not assist
her and that they did not intend to give
aid to any dependent of the soldiers who
was left in that town, and that further
more 1t would be necessary for her to sell
or mortgage her place as it was impos-
s;hle for them to give her pauper aid SO
long as her husband owned property. Miss
GAYLORD was not exactly satsned with
that view Of the case and although 1t was
of course impossible for her to influence
tho selectnnen of Winslow she took the
matter up on Saturday with some OF the
leading women Of the town and they
promised that the woman would be looked
after. either through the town or through
money which they would raise.

The Old Fashioned Game That Was
Joy Of Villagers.

Jacksonville (F1a.) Times Union)
In this age I fear everybody has
early forgotten about the dear old :
fashioned game Of croquet. I remem-
her the time back home when it was
the thing.
Why, we used to gather over at
Cheatham's hotel on fine afternoon
round at the shady side, and we village
lads and lassies were in our glory
Knock went the mallet against the
ball. and we waited GREATNESS for the
ball TO roll through the wicket.
All. such moments the excitement
was intense. Every eye was fixed upon
the result Of the stroke and we though.
the whole world was interested.
By crickety, we were some pump
kins, tell YOU. at the old game We
didn't know anything about your mod .
ern baseball games. nor football games,
nor polo, nor hockey. nor golf, nor
motor boat racing, nor horse racing.
No, we didn't care anything about
knowing. l bet you. AS long as Susie
Green was my partner and we beat the
other side, We didn't care whether
school kept or not.
All we knew was that the game was
exciting to US. and the birds sang for
sheer Joy in the magnolias and the
roses nodded from the old front porch.
The long. long days Of youth were ours
and no business cares infested our
world O. dreams.
The old croquet game,
1t would seem pretty tame to you OF
this fast age and you would chuckle
and make fun Of our enthusiasm, but
we were happy, for we didn't know any

AN ANTI.BURGLAR GUN.
It Spotlishts the Seeker After Your
VaIuables.
New York SUM


A revolver has recently been invent
ed which has a searchlight attachment
in the shape of a cylinder that lies
along the barrel. When the light is
thrown on the spot where it strikes
is where the bullet will 60. You can
place the light on any part of the
burglars anatomy and be quite sure
that the bullet will enter that spot. Nc
burglar of course will be so dis
courteous as to move after YOU have
made a careful selection Of the proper
spot.
This invention will undoubtedly be a
great help to all those who search for
burglars in the dead Of night. but the
great beauty Of it is the fact that YOU
can injure your burglar just as much
or as little as you choose. This is a
large advantage.
Some burglars naturally excite ones
i'll feeling the moment they enter ones
house. Their manners are vulgar.
Suppose. for example. that after de-
scending the stairs and locating your
burglar in front Of Your sideboard he
still keeps his hat on in your presence.
In this case there will be nothing to do
but shoot him directly through the
heart. If on the other hand he is a COL
lege graduate and entertains you with
some of the latest stories and is alto
gether a companonable sort of person
YOU will naturally feel like taking off
only a finger or two.
Only one final precaution is neces-
sary. Be sure that just as you are
about to fire at the burglar your wife
does not suddenly jump in front Of you
The laugh would then be on you AMI
not on him.
