The latter are frequently of most advanced type, and from them have sprung some very able men, as, for instance, Juarez and niaz Altogether, however, the degrees of civilization are various Authorities have it that in Mexico at the present time the Indian population may be divided into fourteen families and l32 tribes with fifty one languages and sixty-nne dialects.

REASONS ARE REVEALED
 FOR OLD SUPERSTITiONS

Why do widows wear caps? It is b. cause when the Romans were in LngIanI they introduced the custom of shaving the head as a sign of mourning. Of course women corldn't let themselves be seen with shaved heads. so they made themselye, caps Though the custom has passed the caps remain.
 Why do ladies break bottle of wine on the ship they are christening? The real reason is enough to make your blood cur dle. In the days of sacrifice to the gods 1t was customary to get some poor victim when a beat was being launched and 10 cut his throat over the prov, so that his blood baptized it.
 Why do we throw shoes after brides? The reason is scarcely complimentary. From time inmemorial t has been the custom for parents to caastise their children with shoe; and from this the custom arose of the father of the bride making a present of Q shoe to the bridegroom as a sign that it was his right to keep her in order
 Lastly, why do we shake hands? To show our friendship, nowadays; but not in the days of yore. When our forefathers were all fighters they seized each others right hand during a pause in the duel to prev ut a treacherous hl0w,- Ex

Mexican Hate

G.incoln Stoftens, in Eyerybody's)
 Hate y0u?' said wild young Mexican officer to me one day on a troop train. "The Mexican hate for you Grngos would put fire into the flames of arson virtue into robbery, and crown of glory on death and defeat at war with you"
 When l laughed in the face of his hate and remarked that 1t was too well expressed to be deeper than his mind, he choIled: Both beth with cur heads and our hearts we hate you.'
 Yes" said thoughtful member of Carranzas cabinet circle "there is hatred among us for you, and it is dangerous; as 9 prejudice it Is very dangerous. But also it has reasons fer being, and the reasons can be reasoned with and in time removed, if there be time"
 True. The enmity in Mexico against the "Colossus of the North,' as they call the United States, is aIl sorts of hate held by ali sorts of people there. 1t is reasonable and unreasonable; 1t is thought and felt; /; it is open eyed and it is blind; it is suspi- cion and experience. It is racial, religious economic and it is historical.
 They have their own ideals, and, better or worse, they prefer theITS Q, sure of the superior excellence of ours-wo con tnue to thrust ours upon them-0Ur ideals our ideas, our virtues and also ias they seel our vices and our methods, and our corruption; and all for their good. This is the height of our offending; our phjlan- thrCpy
 'If," said Mexican statesmen to me at Eagle Pass last fall, If you Americans would look across the border there and say that Mexico IS a rich country and beautiful, and that you covet it; that we MeXcans are a weak people and you are strong; and that, therefore, you are going to come over and take Mexico-we could understand that. We would fight and we would probably die, but we wouldn't hate you so much"

 He tells you Me Amigo" and he smiles a

 He bids you share his "poolky" in the

 And fingers long at parting to express his
 deep regret.
 And when you ride off down the trail you
 hear a rifle crack It's only the Amigo he has shot you in
 the back.
 His leaders are Amigos too. They wish
 you all success;
 We serve one cause they softly say, We

 You see their soft and friendly eyes begin

 That treachery can find to hide the black

 Latin America to Back Uncle San A Washington special to the Chicago Her aId says:
 Should the attitude of the de facto gov ernment of Mexico force the hand of the United States government and compel American armed intervention in Mexican affairs, the United States would have the moral support of those panAmerlcan na- tions that participated in the joint appeal made last year to the Carranza and Villa factions to enter a peace conference for the adjustment of their differences. These governments are those Of Argentina, Brazil CLile, Bolivia, Uruguay and Guatemala. The fact recently became known that the administration had learned unofficiaIIy from official sources that the oan-American sigma tory natious are ready to back rp the United States government should it be forced t. intervene in Mexico.
 It has been aScertalned that high oaiciaIs in these countries are of the opinion tL2t the Wilson administration has almost reached the point of exhausting its patience in the treatment of the Mexican situation; that they are convinced that the United States government has no aggressive aims or Ulterior motives against Mexico; that our good faith in dealng with Mexico ha. been amrIy shown and that the American nation has tolerated more from Mexican outlaws than almost any great power would accept without intervening to restore order and protect its border end citizens
 While this informari,n has reached Wasf ington through absolutely definite channels in a way that hos impressed and greatly pleased officials of the administers ton. President Wilson Is vigorously oD- posed to armed intervention and is deter mined to exert his influence to the fullest extent against 1t.
 The President knows that the senate and house would support him in an interven- ton policy at this time, but Las informed senators with whom he has talked that he considers it the duty of the United States government to cndeavor to solve its Mex ican problems without armed intervention.
