The Annual Event of Two Nations:
Yaqui-George Washington
The "Laredos."
Some years since the citizens of Laredo,- Texas, nnd Nttevo Laredo
Mexico, conceived the idea of fittingly celebrating George Washington's
Birthday (February 22) by suitable ''Mexican-American" fiestas and
parades, and from a small source this has grown to a MAGNIFICENT
ANNTIAL EVENT unsurpassed in its gplindid surroundings and inter-
esting particulars by anything of a similar nature.
International iii its character, located on the border line between the
Great Republics, occurring at a teason of the year when business cares
press lightly, and at a time when weather conditions in that locality are
ideal, this event offers unsurpassed inducements tr the pleasure seeker.
This year the festivities will consist of three days' continuous festiv-
ities, February 21st, 22nd, and 23rd, and the program, which is very
elaborate, will compriso manv new and interesting features, among which
mav be mentioned FAMOUS St'ANISH BULL FIGHTS, GRAND
CATTLE ROPING CONTESTS, FOOT BALL, BASE BAI,L, INTER-
NATIONAL HORSE RACES, COCKING MAIN, torchlight parades,
embodying typical Mexican and Indian Features. Naval fire works on
Rio Grande liiver, Snam Battle ana Capture of the city by the Indians.
Military drills and display evolutions. Historical Pageanrs and Traces
Display. Flower Carnival, Band and Musical Contests, etc.
For this occasion low excursion rates will be in effect to Laredo, also
for the benefit of those who desire *o see more of Mexican life and cus-
toms, arrangements have been made for sale of excursion tickets to
MONTEREY, MEXICO, with ten (10) days'limit, permitting stop-over
at LAREDO in order to witness the International celebration.

The moth-

the touch
of the soft
hands too well to
need to guess, and
for the moment
she enters into the
playful spirit of
the child and for-
gets her toil and weariness. Then a
sudden movement sends a thrill of pain
through her and she realizes that though
love may lighten labor it cannot lighten
pain.
Thousands of women who have suf-
fered from backache, headache, and
other consequences of womanly disease,
have been made well women by til;
use of Dr Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
tion. It establishes regularity, drier;
unhealthy drains, heals inflammation
and ulceration and cures female
weak ness.
"I cannot sav enough in praise of Dr. Pierce'j
riptloi

N. C., Box 109. «I was .swollen so I could hard1"
Favorite Prescription as it has done me so much
"ten

scription.' I rUo had uterine trouble and could
neither eat ror sleep only as I took luorphi-v.

I took only three bottles and am now well a.ld
hearty. Can di almost any kind of work."

Hadley's "Painted Beauties."
President lladley of Yale
considered a clever maker
i phrases. His introductions, useJ
■ at the commencement exercises
' for those about to receive honor-
I ary degrees, arc usually little
masterpieces, but his ability to
say much in a few words does not
render him immune from making
"'bulls." A year or two ago aa
art drib, composed principally of
professors in the university, gave
ta dinner to which the wives of
members,were invited. The tables
were spread in the main gallery
in the art school, and President
I lladley acted as toastmaster. As
is customary when women are
j present at a banquet, the toas'l-
master handed <>'.;t a large line
of "rhetorical bouquets," to which
the women present were pr- ■ Si-
ted to help themselves. One of
the "bouquets'' was a surprise lo
those of Dr. Hadley's hearers wh
caught its unintended sigrifi-
cance. With a comprehensive
wave of the hand. President i lad-
ley pointed to the works of art
on the walls of the room, and
said: "W'hal need have we of aH
these painted beauties on the ivafl
when so many are gathered here
tonight around this festive
board?" The art club is no long-
er in existence, and the only
"painted beau'ies" present on that
occasion are still on exhibition at
the Yale art school.

gram from London, to George W.
Stewart, manager of the World's

that King Edward has given hi*
approval to the participation of

da'e masked bands of 250 musi-
cians. Other bands will come

Naturalizing a Russian.
England is always glad to get
another citizen, but sometimes she
goes about it in a strange man-
ner, according to the Springfield
Republican. A sailor recently de-
serted from a Russian battleship-
and joined an English crew on
a faraway island. He told thern
that lie was tired of the rule of
the czar and wanted t > become an
English citizen. They were at a
loss how to naturalize him, but
finally each one threw a bucket
of water on him and so washed
off the Russian.

Malone is to Have Depot.
i
Austin, Texas, February 19.—
The railroad commission today!
issued its decree in the Malone
depot case.
The International and Grpat
Northern is not only compelled
to stop its passenger trains there
but is ordered 10 erect a depot suf
ficient to accommodate passengers
and freight. The order is f ffec-
tive on the 25 instant.—Houston
Pest.
Malone is where the T. & B. V.
crosses the I. & G. N., but here-
tofore you could not change from
one road to the other as the I. &
G. N. did not stop there. This
change will bo a convenience for
the traveling public and will also
be a big help for the town of Ma*-
lorn3.

Decorating Berlin Schools.
The committee of the Berlin
town council in charge of the pri-
mary schools have taken a novel
decision with regard to school
decoration. The proposal is t©
spend 10,000 marks every year for
eight years, with the object or
painting frescoes 011 the walls of
classrooms and corridors. These
pictures will be simple in charac-
ter and will represent for the most,
part scenes in German history.
Before, however, the plan can be
carried out, experiments will be,
made in three selected schools.
Six Eits lor Eggs.
From 60 to 75 cents a dozen for
eggs—according to the kind of
neighborhood one lives in—is what
New Yorker1-- are being asked these
days of food scarcity. Eggs have
been high all winter, prices rang-
ing from 30 cents to 60 cents, but
prevailing prices are startling. New
York commission dealers never
lose an opportunity tif make a "cor-
ncr," and the present little delay
in railroad traffic has given them
1 chance 'o get in a squeeze on eggs.
It is believed there is a plentiful
supply in storage, as this is the time
of year when :he storage houses
have a large supply on hand,, and
delay in shipping hasn't lasted long
enough to materially affect the sup-
nlv.

The Mayor Fined Himself.
Mayor Robb, of Lima, O., fined
himself the other morning. Frank
Tnedlck was brought before him,
charged with abusing his family.
The wife an I four small children
appeared, poorly clad, and with
pinched fa^. . I lis honor wrs puz-
zled. If he fined the man it would
mean a jail entencc, and the fam-
ily would not have even the sem-
blance of sup;i. rt. After a min-
ute's reflection he said: "1 fine my-
self the price of a square meal for
you all." He took the five to a
restaurant and saw that each had
a fme repast. The husband, sham-
ed by such treatment, promised sol-
emnly to do better in future. H
