Indian Tribes Of Mexico.

The Yaquis take their name from the
Rio Yaqui (Chief river), which flows
for 500 miles through the mountair
gorges of Sonora and finally empties
into the Gulf of California. Along this
river the Indians make their homes Of
reed and adobe, with roofs OF grass
and mud. The warriors are we'll
proportioned race. but they are prone
to overindulgence in the native drink,
mescal. Family ties are more or less
negative among the men, the custom
practice Of not distant past. They
are closely related to the Mayos, who
from time to time have been forced
into an unwilling alliance with their
more bellicose kinsmen.

Biblical Diction Perfect.

The whole Bible is revelation Of
perfection in speech. The writings Of
Paul, for instance, can be taken as
examples of perfect diction. The de-
scription of the shipwreck when he
was making his way to Rome will
stand for all time as the most thrilling
narrative of storm at sea. His ap-
peals to the members of the various
congregations with whom he corre-
sponded may be accepted as the best
writings we have upon teachings Of
the Nazarene. The poems or psalms
of David, written hundreds of years
prior to the time the New Testament
was written, are still the choicest bits
of sentiment and imagination thar can
be found, inspiring in their faith and
beauty and enchanting in their elo-
Queuce.

here were fought the land battle that

One Of the arts of life is to be able
TO sit still and to enjoy. To the hur-

rying keeps the springs of being trou-
bled. Even in those moments when
they are forced to be still they feel
hurried. The truth is that hurry has
become part OF their nature. They
sometimes reach the state where It
Eeems impossible for them ever to

achieve is kind Of self-forgetfulness

The reason for the bitter campaign
waged against Wilson and the Demo-
Gratis by the Fasteners who formerly
dictated the policies OF the govern
men thru Republican rule may be
found in a remark made recently o
S. c.. Alexander in New York by a
banker of that city. The Eastern
financier walled: "Once you fellows
had to come to New York for yolr
money; now you can get all you want
in your own section" In other words
New York has lost. its strangle hold
thru the legislation enacted by the
Democratic congress.
