A report recently Issued bv American Consul
Letcher at Chihuahua placed the value of American-
owned property In Mexico at ll.OCT.OOO.OCO. while that

The British holdings are estimated far higher T)y the
South American Journal, which put the British in
vestments In Mexico on December 31, 1913, at
$780,25,000.
The figures given In Consul Letcher's report are
based oa tables prepared, by William H. Beamon. a
mining engineer, formerly of Chihuahua, who com
piled his estimates from government and state reports.

and all the most reliable sources available. It Is con.
sidered the most nearly accurate estimate for 1912.
and foreign holdings are hardly .likely tp have In
creased in the troublous times since then.
The Mexican government controls some of the
railroads, and on these lines the government holds
soma. 60V4 per cent of the stock. Of the securities of
privately owned lines, American capital holds by far
the- largest amount, with the English coming second.
investments In oil have been Increasingly large ever
since the revolutions began, perhaps because Tamplco
and ruxpam, the principal oil .districts, are near tha
coast, and so until recently were fairly safe on ac
count of the proximity of American warships. Dr.
Jamca Douglas, who Is ono of the highest mining
authorities In the United Htaies, and knows more
about the mining situation In Alexlco than probably
anyone else, estimates that altogether about 1.10O or
1,200 mines are under foreign control, of which Ameri
cana control 67. per cent. Mexico Jeads the world In
the production of silver, la second only to the United
states In copper, and comes fifth In gold and lead.
Americans are said. to., hold In their hands about
three-fourths of the Mexican copper output and al
most all of the lead.
General Scott Ilefnsed Dtctntornhtn.
When General Scott raised the Star and Stripes
over the halls of. the Montezumas In 1847 a number of
citizens of wealth and prominence offered to back him
up If he would consent to remain and govern the coun
try. They wished for peace and security for life and
property and the American commander waa considered
the maater hand for both. Practically It was an offer
of the Mexican dictatorship. The Incident as told by
General Boott back In 112, concerned five Mexican
citizens, who mode the offer privately, supplementing
the offer with a bonus of H.OOO.OX) which was to be
placed to the general's credit In New York or London
banks. "They supposed," said General Scott, "If they
could obtain my service I could retain 12,000 to
1X.005 men whose terms of enlistment were about to
expire and that I could easily obtain lfO.000 men
frorii home. The hope -was that It would Immediately
cause annexation. They offered me 11,000,000 as a
bonus, with a salary of JJSO.tOO per annum, and five
responsible Individuals to become security. They ex
pected that annexation would be brought about In a
few years, or. If not, that I could organize the finances
and straighten out the complex affairs of that gov
ernment. "It was understood that nearly a majority of con
gress was In favor of annexation and that It was
only necessary to publish a pronuncfamento to secure
the object We possessed all the fortresses, all the
arms of the country, their cannon foundries and
powder manufactories, and had possession of their
porta of entry, and might easily have held them In
our possession tf this arrangement had gone Into
effect. A published pronunclamtnto would have
brought congress rlHht over to us and -with thesj
15,000 Americans holding the fortresses of the country,
all Mexico could not have disturbed us. We might
have been there to this day If It had been necessary
"I loved my distant home. I was not In favor of
the annexation of Mexico to my own country. Mexico
haa about 8,000,000 Jnhabltants and out of these eight
millions there are not more than 1.000,000 who are of
pure European blood. The Indians and mixed races
constitute about 7.000.0C6. They are exceedingly In
ferior to our own. Aa a lover of my country I waa
opposod, to mixing up that race with our own.. This

Andrew Carnegie tells how, until a comparatively
recent date, tho oldtlme Scotch prejudices were re-
talnedv by the hard-headed professors at the Unl
verslty of Aberdeen.
There was a certain I'ror. Cameron, who had a
weakness for the refinement and minor graces of
life; so, Just after "at home" cards became fash
ionable, one of the driest specimens of the old pro-
fesstonal regime was the recipient ot a missive from
Cameron, which read as follows:
"Professor and Mrs. Cameron present their com
pliment to Prof. Plrle, and hope that he Is well. Pro.
fessor and Mrs. Cameron will be at home on ThurS'
day evening, the 12th Instant, at 7:30 o'clock."
The crusty old chap referred to replied as follows:
"Prof. Plrle returns the compliments of Professor
and Mrs. Cameron and begs to Inform them that he
Is very well. Prof, Plrle Is glad to learn that Pro
fessor and Mrs. Cameron will be at home on Thurs
day evening, the 11th Instant, at 7:20 o'clock. Prof.

In uniform on her dressing table. One day entering
her bedroom suddenly, she chanted upon her newly
acquired maid, who stood agape, with gleaming eyes,
holding the photograph In her hand.
Startled Into speech, the servant asked:
"What's he, mlsst"
"He's an officer, Norah." The young mistress
deemed that answer sufficient.
"Gee, miss," waa the breathless comment, as the
maid put down the picture llngerlngly, "but ain't he

THE PROTEST OF A MERE MAN
That ladles are the coming race, there a
not the sllghest doubt; -
They're butting Into things that they
know nothing much about;
They are butting Into business and into
politics.
And now there's one a-buttlng In or
trying to betwixt '
B. N. T. and-Davjd, and I nerc-attd'
now protest . -
TIs quite enough to cope with one, but
two, well. I ll be blest!
They've got me guessing, sure enough,
I'm cross and worried, and
All because there's something here that
1 can't underatand.
To prove my sex I'd Join the fleet arid?
Were It not for that bald spot whefet
the' hairs refuse to grow. ,
It's enough to make a stronger man than
I am take to drink . ,
If for the wherewithal I had the neccfl
sary chink, . l( ,
But the Editor returned my last, a tale
of humor keen,
And kindly said 'ttyas much too good for
his poor magazine.
And so next .week to me will be-.a'rort
of hideous dream,
Alone In my small cottage with' a Bdwf "
of mush sans cream.
Alono! Alone! There Is the rub! It wflulif
not be so bad . v.
To munch a crust together It that waa
all we had, .
F6r poverty's comparison, as you no
doubt recall,
If nobody had more than we, we'd not'
be poor at all. . '
Seme day when David's name Is 'known"
far more than tt Is now;
When he Is wearing laurel leaves upSn
his wrinkled brow;
When turkey bones are strewn about the
corners of his plate.
Then you will sigh but- vainly for the
much yolf never ate.

can't be boiled into coffee; Madam. It's
cooked out. Upon how little or how much is
cooked out depends the goodness of the coffee
ypu make. And you can't cook out fragrance
when it's not in the coffee to begin with.
There is a superb fragrant oil in coffee called
Caffeol. It is this natural oil that gives Choco
late Cream Coffee its' rich ambrosial aroma.
To retain this in roasting requires infinite care.
That's why we roast

in closed cylinders over live coils Jor 35 tninutti.
When your coffee Is weak, flat and weedy In flavor and
lacks fragrance, you are drinking coffee roasted only
partially.

the richness and delicacy ot flavor and fragrance that
come from the finest coffee roaited to trftclion. More
than that, you get the most economical coffee.
