Port St. Joe, Fla.—A cose of choice
Wine, believed burled over 100 years

gaged In dismantling the ruins of an
old building In Port St Joseph, near

Stockholm.—Sweden, like the United
States, Is undergoing u period of eco
nomic readjustment Involving closing
down of factories and reduction of
wages In an efTort to cut cost of pro
duction. Swedish manufacturers de
clare they are compelled to do this In
order to compete with German, Amer
ican and English production.
New agreements between employers
and workers are made In many lines at
the beginning of the year. This time
there wus a collision of the workmen’s
demands for higher wages with the em
ployers’ announcement that they would
have to be cut. Employers now have
no fear of strikes, but on the contrary
say they would welcome them because
of lack of orders and dull prospects
which seem likely to result In further
dismissals of thousands of workmen.
Proposals of America to .exclude or
reduce the number of Immigrants Is re
ported to have had an Influence In pro
ducing a conclllotory frame of mind
among the workmen. Heretofore the
Swedish worker has had America to
foil back on In cuae of labor troubles
at home.

WHIPPED BOY WASTES AWAY
Following Beating by Stepfather He
Falls Off In Weight to 24
Pounds, . ,
Grand Rapids, Mich.—Seven-year-
old Merl llader is dead as the result
of beatings Inflicted by his stepfather,
Jacob Nemlre.
From o robust boy, Mori bad wasted
until he weighed 24 pounds. In Jail,
after pleading guilty to a charge of
assault nnd battery on the boy, Nemlre
wrote to the Judge of the I’robnte
court, saying that be hnd beaten the
boy, nnd asking thnt he be likewise
beaten nnd relensed that he Tnlght
take care of the child.
A Wholesale Order.
Paris. Ky.—“I want to get some li
censes," a young man said to Pear.e
Pnton, clerk of the Bourbon county
court.
"Wlmt kind?" asked Pnton, “mar
riage, dog or auto?"
“All of them,” said the visitor. “I'.n
going to be married tonight, have pit,'-
chased a new ear nnd a friend gave
me u poodle for a wedding pre^enL”
Monterey, Mex.—It is a fact not
generally known even to many eth
nologists that there Is a tribe or na
tion of about 20,(XX) people In Mexico
who ard - snid to be descendants of the
Germans. According to the legends
of these aborigines, however, the Ger
mans are descendants of the Mlsecs,
which is the name of the tribe. They
Inhabit several districts of the Isth
mus of Tehuantepec. An Investiga
tion of the Mlsecs was made some
years ago by Dr. William Bauer, a no
ted ethnologist of Berlin. He lived
for several years among the different
Indian tribes of Mexico and studied
their history, habits and customs.
“The Mlsecs are rather low in stat
ure, nnd besides this they are some
what deformed," said Doctor Bauer
on the occasion of his recent visit to
Moijterey. “The hips are broad, the
faces flat and their movements are
very awkward. Their hair is black,
falling over their shoulders. The men
wear their hair as did the Spanish
priests, with shaven crown and ns
long as possible on the sides. They
are conservative la their customs,
manners of living, nnd, above all, their
language. This Is still extraordinarily
pure, although very hard to learn and
disagreeable to hear.
"Some of these people are falr-
halred and have a light skin. For this
reason they were said to be the de
scendants of the Germans. In nearly
every Mexican history Is found this
tale, but when I asked them of their
origin, they sold that they were abo
rigines of this country. Several of
the more Intelligent said that, on the
contrary, the Germans were descend
ants of the Mlsecs.
Worship Their Old Qoda.
"Like all other tribes they are very
superstitious. They still worship their
old gods and offer them up to this day
sacrifices In the fields, on the hills and
on the rivers. I visited several places
where I found the remnlns of sacri
fices, such ns fowls, small dogs, bread,
chocolate, eggs nnd fruit. Certain vil
lages have their Idols hidden In places
known only to the oldest men of the
tribe.
"But the most Interesting of the
tribes In Mexico nre the Zapotecas,
who are at present situated In nearly
the whole south of the country and
especially In the State of Oaxaca.
They number about 300,000 people.
These people are strong, of large pro
portions physically, are very hand
some. generally good laborers, and In
telligent. They live in small straw
hats, each having one room.
“If any nation of Indiana In Mexico
has it social and political future It
will be the nation of Zapotecas. Be
nito Juarez, the famous Mexican re
former, was a Zapotecon and was born
in Zuelotao, near Tatlan, In the moun
tains of Oaxaca.
"The question of the Mazatecas tribe
Is one of the most Interesting and dif
ficult problems. I find -that, for In
stance. when questioned, they say that
In olden times they came from the
North, but they were unable to tell
from what part of the great North they
first inarched. They have legends
which are to the effect that they
passed over the Colorado river and
when they came to Mexico City they
settled first In the state of Vera Cruz,
where they had repeated battles with
the Aztecs, the founders of Mexico
City. In tflese battles the Mazatecas
were driven over toward the eastern
coast In the state of Vera Cruz. This
country has been held by the once
powerful nation until this day.
Tbsy Are Wary of 8trangcra.
“It Is difficult for a stranger to trav
el through their country owing to their
extremely superstitious and suspicious
Ideas. They worship Idols, but these
they keep burled, and new ones are
made each year. This nation In par
ticular has one old custom In connec
tion with Its Idols.' The shell of an
pgg Is taken and. being broken Into
seven pieces, It Is wrapped In seven
pieces of cotton cloth. Along with
this are seven pieces of bark, red and
blue feathers, and seven grains of
corn. These charms, hound togethor,
are placed one at each corner of ev
ery person’s tract of land. This will
assure a bountiful harvest nnd will
also secure the Indians from Injury
from personal enemies.
“There nre seven gods worshiped,
and the eagle, tiger, crocodile, parrot,
nnd serpent are nmong them. The
live animals nre worshiped, nnd the
Images made are burled, as the peo
ple of the tribe are ashamed to have
strpngers know of this form of wor
ship. I was shown a number of the
altars upon which sacrifices to the
Tarls.—The lion cub which was
adopted as a mascot by the Lafayette
squadron of aviators, the first of the
Americans to come to fight und die for
France In the war, now Is a melan
choly spectuele in the Paris zoologi
cal gardens, but the keepers refuse to
kill him because of the sentiment re
sulting from his connection with the
American lighters.
One eye Is missing, much of his
hair Is gone, he seems decrepit with
age, and. If met In the desert, hta
appearance would Inspire nothing but
pity. The indignation of some mem
bers of a society for prevention of
cruelty to animals has been uroused
by his mournful appearance.
“Why don’t you chloroform the poor
old fellow?" a visitor usked of the
head keeper the other day.
“What do you mean by ‘old fel
low?' ” retorted the keeper. “That
lion Is only four years old. He Is a
victim of the war. If that lion Is
lame It Is because he got rheumatism
In the first-line trenches. One of his
legs was broken when he fell out of an
airplane 40 feet from the ground. He
lost h^ls eye from a well-directed right-
hand swing of one of the mechanics
whose fur coat he had stolen and
played with a bit behind the sheds.
“Kill that lion?” he exclaimed.
“Why, he is the symbol of those tall,
happy lads In khaki whose bodies
now lie along the Vesle and Meuse. I
will take him home as a pet first.”
