MEXICO HAS HER BASTILLE.
The Building Where the First Blow For
Liberty Was Struck.

The Alhondiga de Granaditas (pris
on in Guanajuato is one of the most
historic buildings in the Mexican re
public and will always be remembered
not as storehouSe Of grain. not as a
prison, which Ii now Is. but ss the
place where the first blow was struck
for the liberation Of Mexico from
Spanish rule. Quadranguar IN shape,
with central patio, a row of small
Moorish windows near the top. the
lower floor Tuscan. the upper Doric,
the building has no architectural
beauty.
At each corner is a large hook, from
which IN the days Of the struggle for
independence were hung four iron
cages containing the heads Of the great
liberators-the patriot priest. Hidalgo;
his military chief, Allende. and his
comrades. Albania aud JimeneZ. Here
they hung for years until removed by
worshiping nation to the altar OF
kings In the cathedral OF the City Of
Mexico.
After the GTIto de Dolores aud the
first ringing OF the bell OF independ-
ence HidalgO and bis followers moved
on to Guanajuato, stOrmed the impro-
yised fort OF AlhOndiga and killed all
the Spanish troops that had taken
refuge there. This was the beginning
OF the eleven years war of independ-
ence.-Frank II. Probert In National

INDEXlNG BOOKS.
The Custom Is an Old One That De-
veloped Rather Slowly.


The custom Of indexing books devel-
oped gradually. Cicero used the word
index" but in the sense of table of
contents. Seneca provided some works
which he sent to friend with notes of
particular passages. so that he who
only aimed at the useful might be
spared the trouble OF examining them
entire This was at least a partial
index in the modern sense. Ammo
tated, or at least explanatory tables of
contents seem TO have preceded the in
dex proper
Such tables followed the order of ap-
pearance Of the subjects in the book it.
self Alphabetical arrangement. which
was tile beginning OF the real index,
appears not to have been thought Of
until the invention Of printing, and
even then it spread but slowly. Eras-
mus was one Of the first 10 provide his
works with alphabetical indexes. The
custom did not become universal until
well into the sixteenth century.
The first index to an English book is
said to be that printed i'll Polydore

SO,

4 CCORDING to the Commissioner Of In
~ ternal Revenue u. S. Treasury Department,
the above figure represents the sum of money
paid in cash to the United States Government in
internal revenue receipts from 1862 to 1916, in
elusive, by the manufacturers of malt and distilled
liquors.
1t is an uncomprehendable sum. 1t is beyond
the grasp of the human mind.
But every penny was paid in advance Of the
sale Of the manufactured goods and the revenue
went toward the support of the various depart
ments of the Federal Government.
Surely no person can deny that this industry
has paid literally in dividends to its govern
mental partner.
But large this sum is, it is small compared
with the amount that all branches of the industry
have paid during these same years in local and
State license fees.
1t is impossible to secure the exact figures Of
this sum as is the case with the u. S. revenue
receipts, but authorities estimate that the amount
is double and perhaps three times as great.
It yields to each licensing community a large
part of its total revenues and if the sum could be
ascertaned it would be staggering
In addition to these, are the local and state
taxes. Brewing distilling plants and property
used in the retail sale of the products are all
assessed high, and much of this value, and con.
sequently much of the tax accruing would be
lost IN case of the destruction of the industry.
Paying so generously through all
these gears and encouraged to thrice and
deoelop and pay more; forced to exert
coe'y energy TO meet The conditions i'm
posed and to the fixed diUidcrds
rohich its partner demanded; deoclopine

profits only, does it noc0 seen, one 1.-THE
more than a fair deal TO gioe Con,pen-
Sation in The cOcnt Of utter destruction
