No Revolution Talk in Mexico City
MKX1CQ CITY,?The capital ot M?x
Ico In much more lntereatad in the
performance* at the local theater a
than lo the revolution. Two evaninga
?&ch week, Tburaday and Bungay,
there la tnuslo on the plaza and the
typical mimic of Mexico has been auc
eeded by tbe fascinating atralna of
l^ehar'n opera.
No one here can Bee that the revo
lution la being oonaldered aerloualy
5y residents of the capita!". It 1b un
loubtedly worrying President Diaz, al
.hough revolutions should be familiar
'.o him by this time, as he wan once
in liiBurgent hlniBolf. No doubt the
disturbance has kept Borne of the
winter tourists uway, but there seems
o bo as many sightseeing Americana
>11 the plazas us usual.
An American would feel nt home
lere now with the throo principal play
louses presenting "The Dollar Prln
;chb," "Duko of Lu*eiuberg" and "The
Merry Widow." One of the minor
.heaters has announced an approach
ng engagement of "The Cabin of
Thomas," from which the American
:olony Infers that Kllza lu to again
lee over the Ice pursued by blood
lounds.
The plaza parades are a constant
ielight of tourists, who join the prom
enade or watch the passing Bhow for
hour*, admiring the brtgbt-faced
girl* and their lynx-eyed chaperons.
Under the circumstances the Amer
leant here are being treated with the
utmost consideration. It aeeme to be
the desire of Mexican official* to re
tain the friendahlp of Americana dur
ing these daya of minor Internal dla
turbancea, for the alienation of Ameri
can capital would be a worae disaster
than is likely to result from the in
aurgenta.
Any antipathy In this city toward
Americans come* from the lower
classes, the profeaalonal agitators and
malcontent*. They sometimes rally
around the aehtlment "Mexico for
Mexlcana," but here In thia city tbla
element la In a hopeless minority.
It has developed since the revolu
tion began that it was financed largely
by Mexicans who live In Texas, New
Mexico and Arizona, led chiefly by
Klores Magon, once sentenced to pris
on in California for violation of the
neutrality laws.
Blnce the trouble began leas thai*
usual has been seen of President Diaz
and this started rumors that be was
very 111 and even that he w?b dying.
A few days ago when such rumora
were flying the President and Mrs.
Diaz put an end to the tales by driv
ing through the city In an open car
riage and going to a perk, where they
walked for an hpur.
When the revolution was forming
President Diaz said he would person
ally lead his army If the situation be
came serious. That he baa made no
move in that direction is taken as an
assurance that the high officials do not
regard the outbreak seriously.
Western Town Moved Away on Wheels
SIOUX FALLS, S. D.?Lainro, a
town of 2,000 Inhabitants and
teveral hundred houses, was put
>11 wheels the other day and moved
>ver to Winner, where. a? the
"Obult of a bitter county seat war and
igrecment between the (wo towns. It
A-as consolidated with Winner and as
i town ceased wholly to exist. Store
)ullding8, with fhelr valuable contents,
[ were moved Intact. Hanks, with their
^aBh In the vaults, were put on wheels
ind made the trip across the prairie.
Without disturbing tho officials, the
:ounty court house was hitched to two
>f tho largest traction engines ever
3uilt and was hauled from Lainro over
.o Winner, where It was placed on a
'oundatlon previously prepared for it.
I'he Lamro hotel, drawn by 72 teamB
jf horses, made tho trip without so
much as ceasing business during a
single meal.
Lamro was unique In being a town
ouilt by Indians for the use of white
iien. Indians promoted the town,
told lota, opened business houses, and
Anally elected themselves to office. In
dians were elected to the offices of
county Commissioner, county judge,
county treasurer and to all other
places.
Howovor, tlio Indians wero at last
outgeneraled by the whlto men. Tho
red men wero familiar with many
things, but they did not understand
tho ways of tho American railroad
builders. Lamro was promoted
while tho railroad was still 20
miles away, but headed In that direc
tion. In fact, the survey ran through
tho spot upon which the Indians built
the town. Uut the railroad mado a
detour Just great enough to put Lam
ro off the line of road and the whlto
men built tho town of Winner on tho
roud and only three miles from the In
dian town. In the meantime Lamro
had grown rapidly and was a town
of 2,000 people, with all sorts of busi
ness houses.
The people living at Winner organ
ized a county seat fight and carried
the matter before the voters at the
November elections. By agreement
between tho two towns the loser
agreed to abandon its Bite and move
bodily over to tho winner of the fight.
Truo to its name, Winner won out by
a small vote, and the very next day
arrangements were begun for tho
hbuse moving.
Nebraska May Have 'Vagabond City'

?- 1 ' y
LINCOLN, NEP.?Nebraska may soon
have a vagabond city and all
tramps, drunkards or delinquents of
other kinds who drift into this state
will be in danger of being made citt
eens of the new colony. The "city"
I will not rob the penitentiary of any
[ 5f its prisoners, but is intended to
I take care of that large class of unfor
, tunates designated by professional
j nharity workers as "b?low the poverty
I line." It will bo the llrst institution
| jf its kind in the United States and
, is an experiment along untried lines
; is sure to attract the attention of so
ciologists everywhere. No real crim
inals will be admitted to citizenship,
i but only "unfortunates" will be accept
ed there.
J A bill before the lcfilslaturo calls
' for the establishment of a colony on
the prairies, far from the temptations
of a large city. The Bize of the in
stitution is not mentioned in the bill,
but its backers think from 5,000 to
10,000 acres will be necessary once
the colony is in full working order. In
addition to a big farming area there
will be shops of all kinds, an iron
foundry, a shoo Bhop, a book bindery,
a tailor shop, a furniture factory, a
planing mill and others of this kind.
The output of the colony will not
come In competition with that of pri
vate concerns, but will 'oe used, in
great measure, by the stato in the
different state institutions.
When one coming within those lines
is brought before the proper authori
ties, instead of being sentenced to
the city Jail orvthe slate prison he
will be sent to "Vagabond City." No
fixed term of Incarceration will be set,
but the delinquent will be simply sent
to the city until he becomes self-sup
po~ting, after which he will be sent
back to the world as a man able to
take care of himself. While in the
"city" he will bo taught an occupa
tion or trade.

SUNSHINE AND GOOD HEALTH
Wherever Sun's Rays Penetrate Hu
man Life Is Quickened and Health
and Happiness Promoted.
.The sunlight, with Its mellowing
warmth nod radiance, is one of the
great essentials to good health.
Wherever it penetrated, In prudently
regulated moderation, it quickens hu
man life,. promotes health and happi
ness, and may be truly regarded us
one of the best friends of man and
beast. Tho common practice of pro
viding blinds, shutters, curtains and
other means for shrouding the win
dows and shutting out the sunshine, 1h
undoubtedly a great mistake, and
makes for phyulcal weakness and 111
health. Moro window light, more sun
shine, and not less, Is what we re
quire. Lot all your apartments, kitch

rooms, too, be Hooded with nunlight us
much as possible.

been here only a few weeks when her
eyes began to be red,"and to burn and
sting as if she had sand in them.
Then we used all of the home reme
dies. She washed her eyes with salt
water, used hot tea to bathe them
with, and bandaged them over night
with tea leaves, but all to no purpose.
She went to the drug store and got
some salve, but she grew constantly
worse. She was scarcely able to look
In the light. At last she decided to
go to a doctor, because sho could
hardly work any more. The doctor
said it was a very severe disease, and
If she did not follow his orders close
ly she might lose her eyesight. He
made her eyes burn and applied elec
tricity to them, and gave her various
ointments. In the two and a half or
three months that Bhe went to the
doctor, we could see very little im
provement.
"Then we had read so much how
people had been helped by Cuticura
that we thought we would try it, and
we cannot bo thankful enough that we
uurd it. My sister used the Cuticura
Pills for purifying the blood, bathed
only with Cuticura Soap, and at night
after washing, sho anointed her eyes
very gently on the outside with the
Cuticura Ointment. In one week, the
swelling was entirely gone from tho
eyes, and after a month there was no
longer any mucus or watering of tho
eyes. She could already see belter,
and in six weeks sho wa3 cured."

Doubting His Word.
Two Irishmen occupied beds in the
same room. By and by one of them
woke up.
"Mike," said he, "did you put out
the cat?"
"I did," said Mike.
An hour later Patrick woke up
again.
"Mike." said he, "Mike, did you put
out the cat?"
"Sure I did," Raid Mike, sleepily.
"On me word of honor."
Some time later Patrick again
waked up.
"Mike," said he, "Mike, ye divvle;
ye did not put out the ca(^"
"Well," said Mike angrily, "if ye
will not take the word of honor of a
gintleman get up and put her out

Famous Ecccntrlc Toasts.
Pitt, at Kidderminster, gave a
toast in compliment to the carpet
manufacturers.
"May tho trade of Kidderminster."
Raid Pitt, "be trampled under foot by

A more audacious toast, freighted
with double meaning, has been vari
ously attributed to Smeaton, Ersklne
and to some others. This after-dinner
trade sentiment was delivered in this
