A Side.Light On Mexico.
A prominent attorney with ..fomes in
Mexico City, who arrived in New
York recently, is quoted as saying; :
"Money conditions are bad, but people
seem to get money somewhere to at-
tend the bull -fights. Before I left
Mexico City one bull -fight in which a
prominent Spanish matador participat-
ed, was witnessed by a howling mob
of 40,000 people, and tickets were sold
as high as $10 Mexican money. Huer-
ta was there -and unattended at that,
When the bull was killed by what the
Mexicans regarded as a very clever
thrust, Huerta threw all the money he
had in his possession and his diamond
scarf -pin into the arena, much to the
elation of the sudcessful matador."

Last year this Co•operatide company
did a, bedtime, worth $70,000 on a capi-
tal of $1,200, which, of course, repro-
Bente only part of the value of the
buildings and plant. This is one of
the farmers' Co-operative Creameries
that are being established throughout
Nova Scotia. and which are proving
highly successful Farmers Soured of
a ready sale for their milk are encour-
aged to go in for dairying and raise
dairy cattle of a good elaee. This, of
course, means the improvement of the
land and more advanced farming con-
ditions generally. A neer Creamery ie

Rewarded His Horses.
A Haverhill, Massachusetts, corres-
pondent calls attention to a pleasing
incident in that pity ; A pair of horsee
were making every effort to haul a
heavy load of coal up from one of the
alleys onto Merrimack street. The
driver elicited attention from the very
first, for instead of applying the whip,
he urged them to their beat by kind
words and by standing at their side in-
stead of berating them from the seat
as so many drivers are apt to do. Fin-
ally the heavy load was pulled over
the crossing, and before he resumed
his seat to proceed down the street, he
draw an apple from his pocket and di-
vided it among the patient animals.

ing convincing statement:
"I live four miles from the city and two tulles
from the school. This has been the worst
Whiter 1 have ever seen, but there hasn't been a
single day that my children havin't walked to
school, and not a single day have they come
home with wet feet, and to think, they walked
down the middle of the road. Not one of them
has been sick with a cold even, while heretofore
my doctor bills have been more than my road tax.
Talk to me about paying taxes to build roads. I
ata willing to pay taxes on my pack of fox hounds,
my bird dogs, my chickens, my horses, and, if
necessary, my wife and children, if they will use
it in extending roads like this all over the country.
I would rather have my house and ten acres of
land on this road like it is now than have my
whole farm on the old road like it was before
improvement.'"
A Concrete Road
