that snow some times buries whole
villages. The population is fifty-four
millions, nearly half as many people
as are in the United States.

has been set apart as the flower

are delivered every morning to be ar
ranged and placed about the public

WAS MARRIED TO BEST MAN

Not SO long ago d strange error oC-
CURED ut Il church wedding. In some
way the bridal party became confus-
ed and at the close Jf the ceremony
it was discovered that the bride had
been married to the best man. Fur
Their complications arose from the
fact that the best man was already
engaged to the brides younger sister.
The register had not vet been signed,
and there was nothing for it but to
perform the ceremony over again. The
mistake had arisen through the best
man undertaking to make the neces-
sary response for the bridegroom, who
was no nervous as to be unable u re-
member them himself. AT a wedding
which took place in a country village
q few years ago the bridegroom, on be-
ing asked the customary question,
Wilt thou take this woman to be thy
wife," scratched his head reflective
ly, and. turning to the bride, asked:
will we clean my boots?" The query
was met in the affirmative, and the
ceremony proceeded. a laughable Incl
dent once occurred at village we'd
ding. When the bride had reached the
church she had forgotten her gloves,

Working and Eating.

In Thess 3: 1912, in the New Tes-

The Bible counts work honorable.
In jeremiah, (chapter 22:13) it reads
"him that useth his neighbours service
without wage, and giveth him not for
his work" In James Sis. we find
strong language in pouring contempt
upon the rich who have ground the
faces of the Door, and heaped up gain
by the underpaying or defrauding
those that have toiled for them In
Luke 1877 we find, "A laborer is
worthy his hire"

the telephone? We lived, that is all. OF
course. the locomotive and aeroplane,

NOTES BY THE WAY.
Practice What We Preach.

In the past ten years or more, the
United States had considerable troub-
lie, with the MeXicans, or, perhaps the
MeXicans regard us as the trouble
makers. From early boyhood we were
taught that it requires two persons
to quarrel or fight.
We all jealousy guard our prop
critics and human interests, which is
human nature.
Mexico today is improved, yet about
eighty per cent of the population can
neither read nor write. y correspon-
dent spent a week within its borders

of time. He says much of the COun-
