Germany Has Lost Mexican Trade

Germany Has Lost. Mexican Trade.
All the drinking glasses and most
of the jewelry sold in the Salinas Cruz
district of Mexico are of American
manufacture, according to recent re-
port from Norton r. Brand, United
States consul at Selinas Cruz. Prior
to the war all the jewelry and glass
ware were imported from Germany
and Spain. The war has eliminated
Germany entirely from the Mexican
markets and the activity of American
business men has been so, great that
imports from Spain have been mate
rally reduced.
But Mr.. Brand warns American
manufacturers that the goblets and
tumblers they ship to Mexico are too
small. The tropics are thirsty cline
and Mexicans drink deeply. Mr.. Brand
declares if American merchants do not
send in larger glasses, their wares will
be driven from the field when Euro
pean supplies are again available aft.
er the war. He urges upon American
business men the necessity of studying
the needs of the Mexican trade.

HAD GOOD POINTS I
Hot Tempered Woman Evidently
Not Altogether Bad.
Surely No High-Priced Lawyer Could
Have Surpassed Pathetic Plea
of Husband Which Won
Her Her Liberty.

There was q negro family living in
Bowling Green, KY. The: wife had
VIGOROUSLY ungovernable temper,
usually taking it out on her husband.
who was meek and lowly. On this oc-
casion she struck him with skillet,
intiicting wound 80 painful and dam
gerous as to necessitate his having to
be taken to the hospital for treat
ment. The neighbors, knowing the
violent temper Of the wife, and the
cruel treatment she had inflicted upon
her husband for such long time,
were SO outraged they could endure it
no longer, and procured a warrant for
her arrest on the charge Of assault
with a deadly weapon.
The husband sat through the trial.
giving rapt attention to its every de-
tail. The case was handed over to
the jury and after very brief delibera-
ton it brought in verdict of guilty.
The old darkey husband rose and
said:
'Marse ledge, don't reckon moth.
ing ole niger could say would make
much diffunce, but I would lax to say
a word before you send the 'old oman
to the penitenshy. She's always been
a good mother to the chillun, all the
neighbors will tell you that. She
washes and scrubs and sews and
mends for 'em. and keeps 'em clean
and nice, an when they's sick she sits
up with 'em at night. And, Marse
ledge, jest want to ak you if you
won't let her go by the house and see
the chillun befo' you send her to the
penitenshy They's at home all alone
right now, cfyin' they po little hearts
out and it would do 'em good, and the
ole oman. too. if she could just go
and kiss 'em good-by befo' she was
put in the penitenshy."
BY this time the judge and the spec
tators were in tears and the Judge
said: Gentlemen of the jury, l
haven't passed sentence yet and if
you want a few minutes to further
consider this case, will be glad to
grant it," The jury retired and in a
few minutes returned with verdict
of mot guilty."

LONG IN HOLY CITY
American. Resident Of Jerusalem
for Many Years.
N. M. Whelan First to Welcome Brit.
ish Troops When They. Entered
Was Representative There
Of the Bible Society.

Although it is year since Allenby's
victorious army entered Jerusalem,
and the greatest Christian shrine In
the world was wrested forever from
the clutches of the infidel Turk, one Of
the most striking episodes of all those
that marked that entry has only re-
Gently become known.
10 Americans this episode Is Of
especial interest. since it came as the
climax of perhaps the most picturesque
of all the many services that have
been rendered by the allied nations.
and to humanity generally, by individ-
ual Americans, from Gerard and Brand
Whitlock down, since the beginning Of
the war.
For nearly three years, or from
early in 1915 until the deliverance Of
Jerusalem in December. 1917, one Of
the oldest and most famous of British
organizations remained in unblissful
ignorance as to what had become OF
it's depot" In the Holy City. This or
ganization is the British and Foreign
Bible society, which like it's great sis
ter organization in the United States,
exists for the purpose of distributing
the Good Book among Christians in
every part of the world.
In February, 1915, or soon after
Turkey threw in her lot with the CEN
trail powers, the Bible society's depot
in Jerusalem, which contained many
thousands of volumes, had to be aban-
doned hastily. The workers there
were brought to Egypt on an American
warship, From that day until quite re-
Gently nothing whatever was known re-
garding the fate of the depot or it's
contents. It was assumed that both
had probably been destroyed by the
Turks. But sthen came a letter from
the society's secretary at Port Said in
closing one from the commander Of
the London Scottish, the first British
regiment to enter the Holy City. In
this officers letter the striking story
was told of how venerable American
resident of Jerusalem, by name M. M.
Whelan, came forward spontaneously
after the abandonment Of the Bible
society's depot, took up his residence
therein and courageously "carriel on"
as it's custodian.
1T may interest you to know" this
officer wrote, that as l entered Jeru-
salem with the first troops, was met
by quaint old American, named Whe.
Ian, seventy years Of age, who told me
he represented the Bible society, and
presented me with a beautiful copy of
the Scriptures"
Beyond the fact that M. M. Whelan
is naturalized Irish citizen of the
United States, and that he had been
+ living in Jerusalem for several years
before the war, little is known by the
Bible society at present regarding the
picturesque character to whom it owes
so great a debt of gratitude. 1t is not
even known from what part of the
United States he comes. The society
has, however, received photograph
of it's venerable American benefactOr,
which shows him to be truly patri-
archal type. ~

Cecil Rhodes, Dream Realized.

The early completion Of a tunnel un-
der the Straits Of Gibraltar, which, in
connection with the tunnel from Dover
; to Calais, will practically complete an
all-rail connection between Cape Town
and London, will more than realize the
dream OF Cecil Rhodes Of q Cape-to-
Cairo railroad. The necessary links
along the Barbary coast will be simple
matters when the intervening waters
have been spanned. England is taking
hold Of the Gibraltar tunnel in a way
that means the success Of that gigan,

OCCASIONALLY A SACK
OF SUGAR CONES IN.

From time to time the grocers
Marion manage to get hold of a
sack or two Of sugar and dole it out
to their sweet hungry patrons as II
1t were gold dust.
Seemingly the sugar trust has not
made an effort to explain why they
are not putting the new beet sugar
crop on the market. That should
have begun to come on our local
market some weeks ago
No one on the outside knows
but a lot of people suspect that this
present sugar shortage is more or
less hand made-but if it is-you
have got to hand 1t to emit is a
humdinger.
Another thing that evidently has
not been explained. Evansville got
hold of two car loads of the precious
chrystals one day last week and
it was retailed at seventeen and one
half cents per pound. So far as
we know Marion has been kicking
in" with two bits whenever they
wanted to carry home a pound of
sugar-when it was to be had. As
freight rates are pretty high now no
one is going to be suspected of do
ing little shall we say it?-prof-
iteering.

music, the orchestra played and the
female quartette sang The pastor
delivered an earnest address on
Moses at Sinai" W. d. Cannan
was invited to the rostrum to act as
clerk, and three young lads Of IL
summers were called from the con-
gregation to act aspages to distrib-
ute cards and fountain pens and wait
on the congregation in general.
The offerings soon gained such
momentum that Judge Carl Hes
derson, who was local manager in
his church, was pressed into service
and finally the business reached such
volume that Prof. v. L. Christian
was called on to help. When the
last card was handed in, the con-
gregation stood and sang Praise
God from Whom All Blessings Flow"
and W. d. Cannan at the close of this
song arose and said II knew all the
time that We would go over" We
were only asked for $15,000.00 and
our pledges show twenty-five thous-
and and some hundred.
The pastor then arose and called
attention to the spiritual atmosphere
in which the offering was made and
several joined the church. The con-
gregation stood and sang March
