MEXICO'S PROGRESS.

MEXICAN politicians cannot he charged with failing to learn. 4 new constitution which has just been completed and signed at QuereJaro oy representatives of Carranza's gov <rnment contains proof of this. The eAigencies of Latin-Americar politics nave caused the constituent conven- tion" as it was called, to hedge the of flee of president with the slurdiest safeguards.
 One of the most interesting provi- sions, and one which could be fol- lowed by the United States, is the abo- .ition of the office of vice president. The Mexican affliction of Caesarian ambition is responsible for this clause. Too frequently the volatile Latin American vice president starts lit .,e boom of his own, and the president is found a me ssy corpse, with the con- spi"ator in the saddle and lively crap in store. The constitution pro- v(ies that no member of the cabinet IT member of the presidents family shall succeed the president in case of death or disability, thus aiming at q dynastical trend and requires that va rancies must be filled only by vote of ',ongress. Reelection of the presi- dent is also prohibited.
 It is interesting to note that while the Mexican constitution contains much advanced legislation, it is dem- 0cratic rather than socialistic. In fact. it modelled very largely on the United States constitution. Radical lahor laws. including the eight-hour day feature are provided, and com Iulsory arbitration, profit sharing, an thrust laws, national department of health; compulsory military educa- ton, and partial woman suffrage COZ stitute other constitutional features.
 As national charter the new con- stitution is above the heads of the Mexican people. In fact it is much more liberal than the American con- stitution, and far in advance of it in

THE small blaze last night showed how quickly our people turn out to fire. Two or three lodges were in session and a basketball game was in progress at Moose Hall, but before the bell ceased ringing two hundred per sons were in the streets, headed for the fire hall. It speaks well for the protection afforded the town in case of fire; and it also shows that our people have been burnt out so often they are getting fire-shy.

THE TAIL OF THE PUP.

Once upon a time an Ignorant and Immature Pup met an Intelligent and Rational Human Being.
 Wait minute" said the lgnorant and Immature Pup. ''I want to snow you something" Thereupon he set to whirling rapidly in vain cEort tp catch his tail.
 "I don't see that you're gettirg any- where," observed the Intelligent and Rational Human Being with an air of ponderous wisdom.
 Nor l." agreed the Ignorant and Immature Pup. That's just the point I wanted to bring out. Now, having established the fact that it is desirable to get somewhere. l want you to observe how similar tO this per formance of mine is the way you 5u- man Beings act about your wages and prices. You raise the wages of work men so that they may buy more aid then you raise prices so that they can buy less and then you raise ,hc wages to reach the prices and then you raise prices in order to offset the wages and
 "Come, come, enough of this non sense!" expostulated the Intelligent and Rational Human Being. Do you think I'm fool to stand here talking to an Ignorant and Immature Fhp"-

Swearing on the Bible.

The method of swearing by the Bible came into use at very early period. practically with the establishment of courts of law in Christian countries. It was the ordinary method of swear ing when America was settled by Flu rOpeans and was naturally adopted here. Oaths were common before the Christian era, and any form may be used that conforms tO the religious be lief of the person to be sworn. He brews are often sworn on the Penta- teuch, keeping on their hats, and their oath ends with the words, "SO help me. Jehovah" A MOhammedan is sworn on the KOran.-Philadelphi Press.

THE ROAD TO SUCCESS.
FIJI Whatever Job You Hold to &hs
 Best of Your Ability.

"In climbing the ladder of success what have you learned that you could pass on as aid to other struggling young menT' I asked H. P. Davison of J. r. Morgan & Co, Did you conceive any shining goal and bend everything to getting there?'
 "No," he replied emphatlcally. What ever job had was to me always the very best job in the world. and tried to fill it. made no elaborate plans For the future. If had any system in my labor it was first to do my own work: second. to teach the fellow be- low me how to take my place: third, to learn how to fill the position ahead of me
 Boys and young men should not i'm agine that their work is so unlmpor- tant that nobody takes note of how they do it. It does not take long to find out whether boy is on his toes watching how he can best be of help i'll a situation Sr whether he merely sits down and waits to be told what to do The simple virtues of willingness. read mess. alertncss and courtesy will carry boy farther than mere smartness.
 Perhaps it will not be out of place for me to describe an incident which may carry a lesson for the young men you are anxious to help. One day when l was teller customer offered me Il very fine gold pen. went right into the office and asked if this man had any loan from the bank. I ex- plained that he had asked me to accept the gift. The bank promptly acted. and it was not long before the fellow was in bankruptcy. The simple course took saved the bank a good deal of mOney."- R. C. Forbes fin Leslie's.

EQUINE ARTFUL DODGERS.
Deafness and Lamsnsss That Were
 Just Pure 6lun.

We all know, of course, the livery nag who pretends to be deaf. You tell him to get up," and he getteth not up: you chuck to him, and he accel- erateth not his pace. Is he deaf? Not he. You know, by certain rolling of his eye and wiggling of his ears. that he hears you perfectly well. His deafness which some shrewd old nags sometimes put on.
 Will horse pretend to be lame when lie is not? Some horses certainly will. Two or three years ago the NOmnd was driving a livery nag on road in Vermont, when the animal suddenly began to limp terribly; couldn't go off slow walk It was pretty serious. for journey of about twenty miles had just been begun. Knowing a man on the road who was a practical horse man. the Nomad drove up to his door and submitted the animal to the eX perts examination. The man looked at the horses feet. examined his legs looked him over thoroughly. Did the horse go a" right when you started out?" he asked. Yes; the horse had gone all right for three or four miles Well" said the expert, this horse is Shammlng: there is nothing the matter with him."
 Then he addressed some plain lan- guage to DOhbin. advising him with some sharpness to cut it all out and go along as he ought to. The Nomad touched the horse with the whip, and he trotted on to the end of the Journey without the slightest limp-Nomad in Boston Transcript.
