Business With the stork.

For four happy years Bobby had held with great efficiency the very in- teresting to say lucrative-posi- ton of only child and suggestions of possible encroachment on his territory had always met with his emphatic disapproval.
 One day the family was much re- ioiced by the arrival of a baby sister for Bobby, but the anpouncement of the little new arrival seemed to hold but small interest for him. Decidedly he was no longer the one and only child and the new baby seemed to have usurped his place as the center of family interest. Who wouldn't be just a little resentful? So, when he was invited to make the acquaintance of the little sister, he accepted with considerable hesitation and querulous- lv demanded: "Who brought that baby here?"
 "Why, the stork brought her." his grandmother replied.
 "Where is that stork?' asked Bobby. q want to see it."

certain village in northern Mexico did not boast of town clock. When twelve o'clock arrived the parish priest used to tell his servant to mouGt the berfry and strike the church bell twelve times, so that the Villagers would know that it was high noon.
 One of the neighbors, who had a watch, noticed that for some days twelve o'clock had struck few min utes late. Thinking that perhaps the priests watch was slow, he asked the mozo (servant) why 1t was that he had delayed in striking the hour. The mozo answered:
 Tt is this way: The padrecito tells me it Is time to strike twelve ; but just as am to start up the ladder the cook tells me to get the tortillas. So l have to go after tortillas, and when l get back and climb the ladder again it makes the noon late"

RATING OF CITIES
Investigation Shows Their Good
 and Bad Qualities.
Portland (ore.) College Professor Pub fishes the Result of Exhaustive Inquiry He Has Recently Made
 Into the Subject.

comparisons are odious but did you know that Seattle, Wash, is the best large city in the United States and Birmingham, Ala, the worst? asks a writer in the New York Independent. such is indeed the case, for no less an authority than the professor of so- ciology at Reed college, Portland, Ore. has just directed statistical inquiry into the 36 largest cities of the United States and finds this to be the case. lie divides the subjects by which the cities are to be judged into IS cate gories and finds that all the western cities are i'll the first quarter, the southern cities in the last quarter and the east betwixt and between.
 AS to separate categories:
 Seattle pays the highest wages per hour, Charleston, s. O., the lowest
 The cost of living is lowest in Min neapolis, highest in Birmingham.
 The death rate is lowest in Seattle, highest in Charleston.
 The proportion of population mar fied is highest in Cleveland, lowest in San Francisco.
 Louisville heads the list in church membership, Portland, Ore, foots it.
 Minneapolis has the lowest percent age of child labor, Atlanta the high est.
 Providence has the largest park area per inhabitant, Atlanta the smallest.
 Baltimore is the best-paved city, Salt Lake City the worst.
 The destruction by fire is less in Bal timore and more in Birmingham than elsewhere.
 New York city owns the most valua- ble public properties per inhabitant, Birmingham the least.
 More people draw books out of the public library in Cincinnati and fewer in Birmingham than elsewhere.
 As might be expected, Boston has the best school attendance, Charles ton has the worst.
 Kansas City has the most school property per child attendance, Jack sonville the least.
 New York pays the public school teachers the most, Jacksonville the least.
 In the lowest number of pupils per teacher Los Angeles leads, Atlanta brings up the rear.
 Seattle is the most literate city, Charleston the most illiterate.
 Jacksonville has the fewest foreign born people unable to speak English, Milwaukee the most.
 Here they all are in their proper or der: Seattle, Salt Lake City, Den yer, Los Angeles Washington, Port land, Ore; Minneapolis, Cincinnati, San Francisco, St. Paul, Omaha, Cleve- land, Boston, Buffalo, St. Louis, Kan sas City, Milwaukee, Newark, New York, Pittsburgh, Chicago, lndianap- oils, Louisville, Detroit Springfield, New Haven, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Memphis, Providence, New Orleans.

NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-At both the
Spanish and the Mexican consulates
In New York today there was ten
dency to discredit reports from Mex
leo City to the effect that a diplomatic
break is threatened between Mexico
and Spain as a result Of the reported
action Of the Mexican government in
cancelng the credentials of the
Spanish consul at Mexico City.
II have no word from my govern
ment confirming the report, nor Is
there anything in my advices to indi-
cate that there is any such serious
tension between the two countries,
said r. B. Del Negri, the Mexican con-
sui general here.
"It is all news to me, but l seriously
doubt whether the situation is any
where near as serious as IL lis pic
tured," was the statement of Alexan-
dro Berea, the Spanish consul general.
The report of an impending diplo-
matte break, said the Spanish consul,
had been dismissed because he had re-
fused to wise passports for Mexicans
wishing to visit Spain.

What to Use and Avoid
On Faces That Perspire

SKIN, 10 be healthy. must breathe. 1t
also must perspire-must expel through
the pores, it's share of the body's waste
material. Certain creams and powders
clog the pores interfering both with
elimination and breathing, especially
during the heated period. II more women
understood this. there would be fewer self
ruined compilations. II they would use
ordinary mercolized wax instead OF cos
metics they would have healthy complex
ions. This remarkable substance actually
absorbs a bad skin, also unclogging the
pores. Result: The fresher, younger un-
der-skin Is permitted to breathe and to
show itself. The exquisite new complex
ion gradually peeps out, one free from
any appearance OF artifcality. Obtain
ounce of mercolized wax from your drug
gist and try 1t. Apply nightly like cold
cream for a week or two, washing II of

To remove wrinkles, here's a marvel
ously effective treatment. which also acts
naturally and harmlessly: Dissolve
