has attempted to establish schools

GeTHINGS do not look any too bright
in interior Mexico. beyond and
on this side OF Mexico City. as far as
political conditions are concerned"
said Geo. Castleman OF Chicago. Il
was in Mexico City and in the state
Of Mexico recently and was on

tent but. 70 had too strong a force Of
soldiers aboard, so the attackers drew
off That was below the federal CAPT
tai and it is no better up this way for
a great distance. All through the
country and in the capital itself there
is a general feeling among the intelll-
gent class that Carranza cannot last
much longer. but I hardly see il that
way, for he has the army and his
generals. from Gen. Pablo Gonzales
down, are doing as they please and
becoming wealthy and the opposition
is not organized to get the president
out I heard all about those eXcur-
sions Of American merchants who
came down to Mexico recently by in
vitation Of president Carranza- Their
trains were protected by trains OF sol
diers and soldiers on the trains with
the eUcursionists and even with all
that had to stop over at night at san
Luis POtosi both coming and going
Nor would the CarranZa government
allow the excursion trains TO 90 10
TampicO or Feracruz, as IL was too
dangerous. Those excursionists saw
the ruin and desolation wrought by
over eight years OF revolution and
banditry and I see the Chicago Trib-
une Of sunday, Nay q, portrays edi-
torially what they saw very wildly.
Mr.. Carranza did not fool those busi-
ness men. There is something de-
cidedly peculiar about these eXcur-
sions Of American business men. How
is it that they do not see that since
the war abe United States has all the
trade Of Mexico any way and before
the war Americans had 70 percent OF
it, I will wager such houses as

WHICH ISN'T Important
EXCEPT FOR the reason
THAT WE think it is.
AND AFTER that
I'D WASH NY face and hands

Or A minute before.
AND I'd tr! to be cheerful

AND IF they didn't answer
I'D KEEP on doing IT.
UNTIL THEY did

AND WHATEVER it was.
THAT had to do.
I'D GO ahead and DO It.
WITH THE same enthusiasm
As might display.

We viewed with no inward disquieL
We calmly determined We only should eat
An al-Vegstarian diet
"Why wo1y?" said we, though but slender our means,
Meat eating Is bad for the health.
They cannot charge much for potatoes and beans
And soon well accumulate wealth.
RUT flats cost lot more than houses Today,
And sodas as much as straight rye.
Potatoes and beans have gone soaring away
To the uttermost heights Of the sky.
We have lost all the fun that We ought to have had
And haven't got money enough
To pay for half dozen eggs-from a shad-
