“SPOKE THE ENGLISH”
BUT MEXICAN WAS NOT A FLU-
ENT CONVERSATIONALIST.
Schoolmaster'* Knowledge of Langu-
■go Decidedly Limited, So That H*
Wa* Not tho Acquisition That
Had Ba«n Hoped.
Tho wonderful; old Aztec town of
Mexcaltatan, the "Mexican Venice," la
built In the form pf a cart-wheel, with
Ita pl&xa for hub and, for apokos, ca
nals, bordered with huts, radiating out
to an outer rim of water. Mr. Dillon
Wallace, traveling; recently “Beyond
the Mexican Sterraa,” not only found
Mexcaltatan most picturesque, but ex
perlenced there that pleasurable thrill
that always cornea on meeting gome
one In a foreign land who can speak
one’a own languafe. The conversa-
tional reaulti are given below.
Very entrancing the little town look-
ed aa approached, The gun wan just
dropping behind the lagunas, lighting
the tope of graceful cocoanut palmg
that roie high above the plaza, and
•ettlng on fire the red-tiled roofs of
gray hutz below, while the murky ca-
nals lay In deep and somber shadow.
A bit of old Mexico, solitary and alone,
untouched and unwarred by tve march
dt civilization. It zeemed to breathe
something of the mystery of forgotten
days.
Afterward we went to a flBh break-
fast at the hut which was the hotel;
a guest was at table when we en-
tered, who proved to be a school-teach-
er from Teple. He rose, end extend-
ing his hand to each, greeted us In
English;
“Good morning! k— am—your—
friend.” Aa we sat down he contin-
ued: “I—am—vera—much—hungerie
1—am—the—school—master.’’
It was gratlfylhg to find some one
who could speak English, and 1 was
exceedingly pleased to meet him. A
schoolmsater he was doubtless a man
of some education, and hts knowledge
of English would enable ua to con-
verse with him, and thus learn much
of our surroundings that we should
otherwise miss.
"How large a school have you sen
or?” 1 asked, by way of opening the
conversation.
"1—count—It—forty-one," he an-
swered, with great precision.
'A very good school,” 1 commented,
“riAve you been teaching here long?"
(,1—count—It—forty-one."
I looked at him with astonishment.
He was not a day over twenty-eight.
"Excuse me, how long did you say?"
“I—count—It—forty-one." Then he
continued: "“I eata—the—meat. I—
have—a—sickness.”
We then noticed that, instead of
fish, he had a small piece of meat
turned very black.
“Is that better for your ailment than
Bsh?" 1 Inquired, beginning to wonder
whether he was afflicted with leprosy,
not uncommon In some localities of
western Mexico, and feeling a decided
Interest, for we, had all shaken his
hand:"
”1—have—a—street—heart—with —
the—beautiful—eyes,” was his reply.
“Ah,” I remarked, "that must be
very pleasant."
"I—likes—It—here."
And this was the limit of the school-
master's English, except "Good-by,
1—am—your—friend," which was re-
peated to each of us as we departed.
An Overwhelming Chargs.
The magistrate looked sternly over
his gold-rlmmcd glasses at the puny
Individual In the dock.
"You are charged," he remarked,
reading the formal complaint, “with
haring willfully, feloniously and with
malice aforethought appropriated to
your own use and behoof a certain ar-
ticle, to-wlt, a one-wheeled vehicle,
qommonly called a wheel barrow, the
selS^veblcle havfng been wrongfully
and feloniously abstracted by you
from the premises of one John Smith,
carpenter, on September 18, Anno
Domini, contrary to the statute In
such cases made and provided, and
against the peace and dignity of this
great realm. What have you to aay?
Are you guilty or not guilty?"
The prisoner’s face assumed a pea
green hue, his knees trembled and
he stammered forth:
“Not guilty, guv'nor. All 1 done
was to steal a barrow!"—Tit-Bits.

EMPLOYEES’ SERVICE CODE
Rules for Conduct of Servants as Pre-
pared by New Orleana Hotel
Management.
When the employees of tiie Mon-
teleone hotel receive their next pay
envelope they are going to find in-
closed a new service code which the
hotel will adopt.
The following extracts from it
give an excellent idea of what will
be expected of the employees in the
future:
“The Hotel Mouteleone is oper-
ated for the benefit and convenience
of its guests.
“Without guests there could be oo
Hotel Monteleone.
"Never be perky, pungent or
fresh. The guest pays your salary
as well as mine. He is your imme-
diate benefactoA
“A man may wear a red necktie, a
green vest and tan shoes and still
be a gentleman.”
“The stranger in cowhide boots,
broad brim and ruaty black hat may
be president of a railroad or a sen-
ator from over the ridge.
“You cannot afford to be supe-
rior or sullen with any patron of
this hotel. I said so.”—New Or-
leans Picayune.
BLIND COLLECTOR.
Arcade has the distinction of
electing the first blind man in the
history of the world as collector. A.
Henry Vallanoe is a wonderful
young man and does almost incred-
ible things and goes about the
streets of Arcade as easily -as a per-
son with two good eves. Among oth-
pr things, he is the mail carrier for
the B. and S. mails and the B. A.
and A. mails to and from the depots.
He delivers the morning papers to
any house in the village and never
makes a mistake. He can often lie
seen running along the walks to
catch the train. He can tell almost
any person with whom he has talked
by name, simply by the sound of the
voice. He carries a watch and can
tell the time as easily as any person
—Arcade Herald.
Proud of Fin* Halt.
The Daughters of the American
Revolution are proud of the fact that
they have completed their $300,000 me-
morial hall in Washington without a
"lawsuit or a strike." The furnishings
coBt $50,000 and the hall Is all paid tor
axcept the mortgage put upon It by
Mrs. Donald McLean, and that Is bs-
tng decreased each year.

When we were young we were
taught to turn our toes out at an
angle of 85 degrees when we were
walking. Now science has demon-
strated that for every degree you
lose a fraction of an inch with step.
We are wondering how much farther
we would been ahead had we kept
our toes to the front. (Right here is
a good place for a shoe ad but no
one has paid us to put one here.)—

Of the people living in Jones City’s trade
territory are regular readers of The Canadian Val-
ley News. They pay their money for the paper,
because they want the news of this town and this
community and can get it in no other way. Most
of them read every line that is published each week,
advertisements as well as news, and the business
man who has anything special to offer may look a
long time to find a way to so completely and so
