VERY GRATIFYING.

Addressing some public school boys
recently on the subject of "Tact," the
archdeacon of London remarked that
even the church cannot invariably be
depended upon to say the appropriate
word. For instance, he continued,
there was once a certain vicar who
had long been eager to see an extern
length his wish was gratified.
Soon after the opening he felt called
upon to speak n few words of condo
lence to a widower who was setting
out tributes of flowers.
"Good afternoon, my dear SIR" said
the vicar, approaching breezily, "good
afternoon" He gazed around in a
contented way. "our new cemetery"
he went on, "seems to be filling up

PROBLEM OF THE FUTURE
FACE THE TRADE UNIONS

In urging the placing of trade un-
ionists in positions of public trust
that the ideals of this country may be
fulfilled after the war and that labor
be protected, Editor Frey of the Iron
Molders Journal does not favor work
ers frittering away their time in be-
fore-the-war discussions.
There is no particular benefit" he
writes, "in discovering whether all of
the allied countries entered the war
with the same determination that
there should be no annexations. One
great fact which we must keep in mind
is that a war is now on, a determined
opponent is straining every resource
to crush our armies, and the millions
of American boys, many of whom are
trade unionists, now on the field must
be supported to the utmost of our abil-
ity, for, to do otherwise, is to leave
them in a position where they cannot
even successfully defend their lives,
this condition-being equally true of the
other allied nations. The workers are
not willing to sacrifice their lives,
neither are the trade unionists in the
countries of our allies willing, that no
man should be wounded in order that
any policy of annexation should be
carried out for the benefit of a few
and the establishment of a condition
which would only pave the way for
another war in the future.
The principles which the trade
union movement have adopted as the

The white man has known the great
double mountains Of Huajatolla for
three-quarters of a century as the
Spanish Peaks, but according to now
almost forgotten legends Of the In
dians the Huajatolla is the name by
which these gigantic twin peaks were
received from almost immemorial
times.
In the archives of the City Of Mex
leo are ancient records which give
detailed description of a gigantic
double mountain situated in the north
ernmost limits of the empire" And
among the tribes that inhabit the
painted desert" there are traditions
which relate to "Huajatolla the
Breasts of the World" situated to-
ward sunrise, where the world ends
in limitless plains.
Less than hundred years ago
tales were still told by old Pueblo In
dians Of the place where the Rain
Gods dwell-a great and double lofty
mountain. "Huajatolla," so they said,
"are two mountains. as round as wom-
ans breasts, and there the clouds are
born that bring the summer rains"
The following paragraphs are taken
from an old unpublished manuscript: /:
"Many years ago, before the first
white man stepped ashore, even be-
fore the alliance of the three king
doms, Alcolhua, Aztec and Tepance,
gold was already an eagerly sought
article.
"But it was not coined in those days,
nor was it used in barter; it was Of
fered to the Deities only, and VIII it
the shrines of Huitzilopochtli were
decked.
1.-THE bulk of it was brought from
the double mountain of Huajatolla
sixty days travel to the north, and
it was taken to the cities of Mexico,
Teccuco and Tlacopan.
But when Nezahuatcovotle reigned
in splendor at Tezcuco, the gods per-
haps became envious of the magnifi-
cence of his court, for they placed
demons at Huajatolla to guard the
gold and altho invisible, they mani
Tested their power in many ways"
And on another page of the same
old manuscript we read quantity the
following words:
"All the country became desert,
with the exception of Huajatolla, the
Breasts Of the World with sustenance
for all, Huajatolla, the abode Of the
gods, who have power to lock and un-
lock the gates of Rain.
"There only, far away in the north
and towards the rising sun, where the
world ends and limitless plains meet
the sky, there only, it rained on the
eve of every day; and trees grew with
fruit upon them, the birds sang, and
the air was heavy with the sweet per-
fume Of the flowers.

jealously they guard the sacred noun

peace can be entered into, as is their
present support of the respective al

with these facts in mind it is now
