FIFTY THOUSAND RED MEN IN
SACRED PILGRIMAGE. VIR
GIN OF GUADALUPE.
GUADALUPE, Mexico. Fifty
thousand Indians from all parts of
Mexico have just completed their
week of homage to their patron saint,
the Virgin of Guadalupe and their
pilgrimage to the shrine of Virgin
here, as sacred a journey as ever was
made by Mohammedans to Mecca or
Hindus to the River Ganges.
This ceremony marks the 388th an
niversary of the traditional divine
manifestation which resulted in the
conversion to Christianity of virtual
ly all Indians in Mexico and led to
the erection here of a magnificent
cathedral, several chapels and the
shrine. It has been a week of prayer,
church-going and fiesta for the In
dians.
The incident from which the cere
mony had its origin transpired, ac
cording to tradition, in 1531, when
an Indian is said to have met on the
present site of Guadalupe village the
apparition of the Blessed Virgin who
imprinted her image upon the cloth
jerkin the Indian was wearing. This|
miracle so impressed the Indians that
a shrine was erected here and later
the cathdral and chapels. Through
the succeeding centuries this has been
the Mecca to which nearly all Indians |
of Mexico turn for one week during
the year, |
The jerkin bearing the imprint is
still preserved in the shrine, encased
in silver, gold and gems.
“Guadalupe Day,” the celebration
is called, is a strange combination of
devotion and unbridled hilarity on
the part of the Indians. Guadalupe is
within easy access from Mexico City
and the festival always attracts many
foreign spectators from the capital.
Thousands of the natives who have
journeyed on foot or with burros for
hundreds of miles come bringing
their tiny charcoal stoves upon which
they cook their smelly food and for a
bed curl themselves into a blanket
and sleep on the ground. At least
30,000 of them were scattered over
the spacious plazas and hills on the
opening night when the ceremonies
began with a midnight mass.
The shrine at the top of the hill
marks the spot where the divine man
ifestation is said to have taken place
and is reached over a pathway studd
ed with rocks and winding around
the hills, Up this roadway trudge the
natives singing their weird incanta
tions and carrying offerings of fruits,
flowers and animals to the Virgin. A
few of the more devout cling to the
custom of two centuries ago by crawl
ing to the shrine on hands and knees
with violent beating of arms and wild
lamentations.
The ceremony of devotion complet
ed the Indians return to the village
and hold turbulent carnival and in
dulge in their favorite stimulant,
pulque.
There are tents for gambling, one
of which is at the entrance of the
gate to the cathedral enclosure. Food,
drink and souvenirs are sold at count
less stalls. There is a “medicine man”
who astounds his, spectators by chang
ing a blue cloth to a red one and
there are merry-zo-rounds, pickpock
ets and foreigners with clicking cam
eras. At night orchestras drone In
dians melodies and the natives dance
and sing.
This alternating worship and mer
ry-making is continued for a week
and then the groups disperse and the
Indians start for home, leaving this
little village again to its year of se
renity to await another ‘“Guadalupe
Day.” :

OLD-TIME TACTICS?
°
REVIVAL OF NEBRASKANS AC
TIVITY CHIEF TOPIC AMONG
THE BIG POLITICIANS.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Political
gossip in Washington during the holi
day season has had a new subject,
even of the president’s illness and
the league of nations tie-up in the
senate.
i This new ‘paramount’” subject is
’the apparition of former Secretary of
iState William J. Bryan, who had by
the generality of political observers
ébeen regarded as in the class of the
ibaseball batter who has accumulated
‘three called strikes. Therefore, the
;New Year cannot be described as an
'extravagantly happy one in the dem
iocratic fold.
By suddenly coming to Washington
in an avowed effort to relieve Presi
‘dent Wilson of embarrassment by
promoting a compromise on the
league of nations in the senate, and
incidentally being the guest of honor
at 2 dinner to which most of the
democratic members of the senate
were invited, the “peerless leader”
has practically served notice that he
intends to make another effort of the
same sort as he made in 1912 Wep
ha was the Warwick of the democrat
ie national convention and came near
being its nominee,
No Roosevelt Offset Now. |
What will the democratic party do
with Mr. Bryan or what will Mr.
Bryan do with the democratic party?
are the paramount questions being
asked among the politicians here.
The same questions would have
been pertinent as to the republican
party and Col. Roosevelt if the latter
had lived.
There are, of course, men in the
republican party who would like to
play the part of Mr. Bryan in the
democratic party. For instance, we
may cite Senator La Foilete, of Wis
consin, and Senator Johnson, of Cali
fornia. Neither of these, however,
has the personal following that the
Nebraskan has, or is supposed to
have. Bryan and Roosevelt have oc
cupied classes by themselves in that
respect.
G. O. P. Plans for Another 1896.
It is plain that the republicans are
playing in 1920 the same careful
game they played in 1896. They had
a very hard time then in carrying the
country on the basis of conservatism
against radicalism, but they did it,
and twice afterwards they defeated
the same democratic nominee. with
great ease.
Republicans feel that if they can
hold their forces fairly well together
and nominate a “middle of the road”
candidate on a conservative platform
their chances against democracy with
a radical candidate and platform in
1920 would be much better than they
were in 1896, because the country
was then in the midst of genuinely
hard times, whereas now it is “flush”
and the problem is how to keep men
at work rather than how to get work
for them.
HUGE ARMY OF SNAKES
INVADE FARMERS’ HOMES
Reptiles of All Kinds Crawl in Hous
es Through Windows.
BREVATOR, Mo.— Persons in
homes along the Cuivre River low
lands, near here, recently were en
abled to get on speaking acquaint
ance with snakes, and the experi
ences through which they passed
made them reach the conclusion that
they had all of the experience they
desired for the remainder of their
lives. It was during an overflow of
the Cuivre that the snakes made their
appearances, invading many of the
homes.
Snakes of every possible descrip
tion were included in the migration
and no home for a distance of several
miles was exempt. The reptiles were
bold in taking possession of the hous
es. It became necessary to place sen
tinels to guard every opening in the
house, including the doors and win
dows,

She Kept Her Locks Dark and
Glossy, with Sage Tea
and Sulphur.
When you darken your halr with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can
tell, because it's done so naturally, so
evenly. Preparing this mixture,
though, at home is mussy and trouble
some. At little cost you can buy at
any drug store the ready-to-use prep
aration, improved by the addition of
other ingredients called “Wyeth’s Sage
and Sulphur Compound.” You just
dampen a sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at a time.
By morning all gray hair disappears,
and, after another application or two,
your hair becomes beautifully dark
ened, glossy and luxuriant.
Gray, faded hair, though no dis
grace, is a sign of old age, and as we
all desire a youthful and attractive
appearance, get busy at once with
Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound
and look years younger. This ready
to-use preparation is a delightful toi
let requisite and not a medicine. It
is not intended for the cure, mitiga
tion or prevention of disease.
