Mazatlan. Mexico's metropolis of the

zatlan is the chief entrepot for one of
the richest mining sections of the

the gold and silver from it's own inn
mensely wealthy state of Sinaloa (e>ti-
mated by some experts to have the
most valuable mineral deposits in
Mexico) but it also handles the ore
shipments by sea of Zacatecas and
Durango.
The city, which has a population Of
10000, is situated on a small peninsula
opposite the Bay of Olas Atlas Thigh
Waves). and is surrounded by coco.
nut groves.
The aspect of the territory adjacent
to Mazatlan is little affected by the
prosperity of the report. The Indians
live in the same type of huts which
they have occupied since the Spanish
conquest and perhaps for centuries be.

RETAIN CONTROL OF SELF

The other day man who makes his

undersized man, and instead Of return

diminutive assailant.
This man exhibited much more self
control than the majority of people.
Men who class themselves as being

The chances are that you would have
rushed at the fellow with all your
might; you would have permitted your
savage instincts to rule you.
This proves that you have not as
much power as you should have over
your impulses.
You may boss other people, but you
are not boss Of yourself.
Maybe, you wonder why others are
forging ahead of you as leaders Of
men.
It is because they have a check reir
on themselves. They have schoolet
themselves that they may be able tt
guide others. Self-control is the, at

Real Cause of Badness.

Men cut their hair short and women
do not. and it is a popular impression
among men that cutting the hair in
creases the growth. If it does, it must
be very limited aid to growth, says
the American Magazine. The real
causes of badness in men, according
to those who have carefully studied
the subject, are the hats they wear.
Women also wear hats, but theirs are
fastened to their hair and do not grip
the head. The tight-ftting hats men
wear interfere with the nouriShment
Of the roots of the hair. They COM
press certain arteries, veins and
nerves, with the result that the hair
Is retarded in it's growth. The main
vessels carrying nourishment to the
roots of the hair are in front of the
ears on the underSide of the skin
and are easily compressed between
the skin and the skull.

FALL PLANTING OF ROSES
BY PRISCILLA PAKG.

Fall planting of roses may be done
in the latter part of October or early
In November, or even as late as the
middle Of December, with excellent re-
suits.
Roses planted in the fall, however,
should be set deep and banked well
with earth just before the ground
freezes. It is also well to cover the
soil about the plants with manure,
which should not be removed until the
middle Of April, or until all danger
from a severe frost is over, whereupon
this dressing may be forked under.
When the rose plants are received
from the nurseryman they should be
unpacked as soon as they come to
hand. Thereupon the tops and roots
should be well sprinkled with water,
after which they should be covered
with bagging and placed in a shaded
spot until. ready to plant.
II the ground is not prepared when
the plants arrive, it is advisable to put
them In q shallow trench and cover the
roots with loose soil until the ground
can be put into proper condition.
The enrichment of the soil, however,
should not only be made at the time of
the preparation Of the bed before plant
ing, but in the spring of every year.
for with such attention a bountiful
supply of flowers may be expected
every season.
When planting, spread the roots out
carefully and do not cross them or
crowd them. They should be placed
well below the surface Of the soil and
arranged, az far as possible, in their
natural position.
When the roots are covered the
earth should be firmly pressed down
upon them; particularly around the
stem. If manure is put in the bottom
Of the hole it should not be allowed to
come in contact with the roots.
After planting, the roses should be
well cut back to few buds, freely wa
tered and protected for a few days IL
the sun Is strong. After that they will
have become thoroughly established.
II the ground is wet when the plants
are received it is better to postpone
the planting, as the soil is liable to
become baked and the safety of the
plants may be thus endangered.
During dry season the rose re-
luires plenty Of water, and frequently
soaking the bed with liquid manure
win be beneficial. The moisture may
also be conserved by abundant cuItiva-
ton.
In the winter the roses should be
protected with good mulch, which is
best done by covering the roots IN De-
cember with coarse litter. or leaves, to
about six inches in depth. or they may

Wisdom OF an Oracle.

A certain Kentucky politician says
that when he was a boy in Owen coun-
ty, on the edge of the blue grass dis
trict, the local orator made habit of
sitting on q certain chair against a
certain stone front on the main street
of the county seat town at certain
hours of the day, the weather being
fair, to answer questions. To him one
day came a young farmer who wanted
to know how to rid himself of sassa-
fras sprouts in his fields.
'Well, son. said the wiseacre "off
an on I've given the subject of sassa-
Track sprouts considerable study durin'
the past 45 years. And here some time
ago I come to the opinion that the only
way to git shet of sassafrack sprouts
when they start in to take a place, is
to pack up and move off and jest match

One of the most interesting natural
phenomena Of the ISonzo district is
the short Timavus river, which emp
ties into the Gulf of Trieste five miles
from the mouth of the larger water
course. The Timavus gushes from
mountainside, Uniformed, in three
streams of sufficient volume to float
small vessels at the very source. In
Virgils day, according to the descrip-
ton in the Aeneid, the Timavus
rushed from the rocks in nine streams.
The river is supposed to be a continu-
alton of the equally unique Reka,
whose waters disappear in the grot-
toes of Sankt Kanzian, some 20 miles
southeast of the mysterious Timavus.

Charley Towne, the magazine editor

the judge Of prize-story competition,

He consented.
From the publishing house conduct
ing the contest huge burden of man

ing a bulky envelope at random, he
opened it and withdrew from it a
great number of sheets of foolscap,
covered on both sides of the pages
with fine writing, done in purple ink
and in a feminine hand.
Afterward, following his prompt

source is near the juncture of the
Carnic and Julian Alps, on Mount
Terglou, the lOftiest peak of the latter

Gulf of Trieste, says the National Geo

are the ISonzo's waters that the river

Her Secret.

A witness, a jolly, plump old wom-
an, in trial in the supreme court OF
Massachusetts, was asked what time
certain train of cars passed her house.
She replied that she began knitting at
three o'clock and had knit twice
around the leg of stocking before it
came along.
The next question, of course, was
how long it would take her to knit
twice around. The judge here, in his
usual quiet humor, suggested that that
would depend upon the size of the
| stocking.
To this the witness remarked that
the stocking was for herself and they
could exercise their own judgment as
to the size, and guess how long It
would take.
