Marking Arrival of Age.
When I get to be old I ain’t groin*
to find It out by countin’ up to nee,
nor by my whiskers, nor by my gums,
uor none of them signs. They’ll all
fool you. No, sir! But one of these
times I’ll get throwed down, and I
won’t bounce back. Then I’ll know
lt't all over. When a man gets that
way, he's old. Old, seeT It don’t
make any difference how muob longer
he lives after that, he don’t erer gat
any older.—"Billy Fortune."
Crow “Helped” In Qolf Oama
An unusual golf story comes from
Scotland. Mrs. Barnett, an American
lady living at North Berwick, while
playing on the oourse recently, had
her game considerably Interfered with
by a persistently Inquisitive crow. She
had lust made a tee shot when the
crow secured the ball, and, after flying
with It for some distance, dropped it.
The lady mads two other shots, and
the crow, to her amazement, twice re
turned and lifted the ball after she
had played it.

VounS Man Must Have Friend*.
For hoys and young men friendship
is a prime necessity of existence.
When a man has established himself
in life and the interests of home and ,
wife and family have absorbed him. ' j
he may, perhaps, dispense with friend
ship, But as long as he is young, un- jm
married and unsettled, he Is as de» •fr.. i
pendent on friendship as on air or
food.

It May Be Destiny.
The News Scimitar has often
referred to the United States as
the world’s school master,
whose mission it is to teach the
-"V, nations and peoples of the world
liberty, civilization, religion and
spirituality. We have done
much along these lines in vari
ous parts of the world, as well
as at home, where, by our skit
in alchemy and the use of the
inciting pot, we have transmut
ed the baser metals of ignorance
and cringing or sullen submis
sion to oppression into the pure
gold of American citizenship
that holds up its head, fearless
|and confident, and looks the
whole world in the face with
dignified composure. We have
J solved our own 'problems, and
we have been disposed to let
other people solve theirs; but it
may be that destiny has cut
out for uSr the task of reorgan
izing the economic and to some
iextent the political structure of
1 Mexico, our nearest sister to the
j south of us.
Pay what we will, the trouble
in Mexico is economic in the last
ianalysis. Political, religious and
ethnological anomalies and ab
normities are merely results.
The land question is at the bot
tom of all the trouble. It is
nol only a play of rhetoric, but
an economic fact, that the land
of a country belongs to the peo
ple of that country, because Gcd |
their common Father, gave it
to them; when this apothegm is
! not adopted in practice there j
jean.be no prosperity among the
masses.
Jn Mexico the people are land-1
less, i ney are also lmpovensn-;
ed and ignorant. Deprived of
their patrimony, they are thrit
less and take no interest in
things. With them sufficient
unto the day is the evil or the
good thereof. They look no fur
ther ahead. Of the 15,000,000
souls in the republic only one
' fifth, or 3,000,000 can read or
write. For the most part the
rest are peons, modern Gibeon
'ites, who for centuries have
been hewers of wood and draw
| ers of water for the ruling
class. They may be working
'to pay debts contracted by their
forefathers or themselves. They
are aliens in their native land.
The surface of the earth which
should be theirs, to cultivate,
and the wealth that is stored in
the mines, have been taken over
by the favored few. Hearst,
with his million acres, and Gen.
Harrison Grey Otis with his
. empire, are two conspicuous ex
amples. Men in authority, who
had no right to do so, granted
“concessions” to favorites at
home or greedy foreigners. The
lands and mineral wealth were

absorbed and taken out of the
hands of the people. Restora
tion was impossible, excepting
by force through revolution, be
cause the masses were held in
slavery. Diaz, backed by the
powerful influences, riveted the
shackles firmly on the helpless
people, and ruled for years. Ma
dero, although of a large land
owning family, was a dreammer
and a philanthropist, tender of
heart and anxious to see his peo
ple uplifted from the Serbonian
darkness of poverty and ignor
ance, roused the masses with a
war cry wrhich meant the res
toration of the lands to the peo
ple in small farms, and the dis
appearance of the farflung
ranches, spreading haciendas
and vast estates, and put Diaz
to flight. But Madero in his
hour of victory could not make
good. He could not carry out
his promise or vindicate his
preachments. He could not re
store to the people the lands
as he had intended to do. Land
lordism and the ruling class
were too strong for him. They
are likely to be too strong for
anyone, be he Villa, Carranza or
Huerta. Landlordism is too

But God’s justice must be
done sooner or later. His mills
grind slowly, but they grind ex
ceedingly small. The United
States may be a chosen instru
ment to do what cannot be done
otherwise. We have the power,
the opportunity, the geographi
cal location. To rescue a na
tion from thralldom would be an
act worthy of us. It would be
a fulfillment of our manifest des
tiny. It would be carrying on
the work that we have begun.
And when the Mexican people
realize our purpose, and what
we seek to do. they will welcome
us with open arms, and join us
in our labors and assist us in
rearing an edifice that will be a
home and a shelter and not a
j prison to them.—Memphis News
