Tabasco, July L. 1917.
The undersigned commander in the United States ma
wy commanding the forces in Tabasco takes this method
OF informing General Echegaray that is the intention OF
the commander of the United States naval forces in the
Gulf OF Mexico to retain possession of this city This
he has ample means of accomplishing, whatever force
may become necessary, without any inconvenience; and
the attempts of General Echegaay the forces presen,
under his command, any that i will be in his power
assemble, to disturb the tranquility of the citizens and
the inhabitants OF the vicinity only eventuate in ser
Gus injury to his own cOuntrymen.
The undersigned would therefore suggest to General f.
the policy and proprety OF Withdrawing his forces and
permitting the intercourse between the city and country
and the commerce OF the city to be carried without OBJ
strucon. Should General +. persist in his course OF
petty annoyance to the garrison and inhabitants, the
dersgned will be compelled in addition to what has al
ready been done to reduce the city the convenient
dimensions to be protected by the forces under his
mand.
The undersigned presumes that the interest General Z.
must feel in the welfare and prosperity of his counymen
and the preservation of their property will induce him to
give the suggestions of the undersigned his favorable
consideration and has the honor to subscribe himself
very respectfully, &C.,
A. BfGELOW

Commanding the Mexican forces in the

BOYS SHOULD THINK.

So said old Mr.. Stantly when his son ran
against tree and nearly killed himself And
SO said Mr., Lacock, when Charles Turbell at
tackled hornets nest and came near being
stung to death. So said Mr.. Barlow, when
James Wilkins went into grog shop and got
so drunk that his father would not let him in
aud so he hadto sleep out all night. Boys
should think. If they would think and SEQ
where they are going, they seldom would get
in such troubles. But do not boys think
Why yes sometimes; but it is most generally
as other people think. They think othermen's
thoughts, but it is very seldom they think for
themselves. When they hear Squire VIII
liams tell about his good old wine and good
brandy slngs, they think these things may
have som thing good in them for themselves
When one boy asks another to go into beer
shop and drink some root beer, or Albany ale,'
because it is very fine, he thinks it may be SO
because that boy tells him it is, bdt he does
not think, for himself about it only as other
boys thinks. Now boys should think for them
selves. Another says it is so but is it really
so? Another says root beer, or Albany ale,
or wine, or mint Julapis good and will really
do me good, but is it really so! The boy
should sit down and reason it out. Didit ev-
er yet do anybody any good! Was any man
ever yet the better for it? What has made
nall the drunkards in the world! What has ev-
or filed up the poor houses and jais, with
u}iserabe men, but this very drink. Do
7hnt to be like that poor miserable drunk
ard in the street! Was he not once as am,
land do want to he as he IS? Do want to
bring my parents gray hairs with sorrow to
the grave! Let the boy talk this over to him
self, and he will not take another mans
thoughts for his guide but he will soon think
for himself, and he will govern and control
himself, and soon be man. AT least such a
boy, we may rest assured, will never, no, nev-'
er be drunkord.

But all this while quite different scene
was passing at the farm house of old Mr.
French. The young folks of the two fam
lilies together numbered good round ba>
ker's dozen, aud when they werc all
gathered in one room, round bright bla
zng fire, ii is no. to be wondered at, that
there were some strong ebullilions Of fun
and frolic among them.
"Gals, what are you gigglng abou', up
in that corner there!" said Mrs French
TO a knot of them, who were huddled to-
gelher on one side of the wide e-place'
b "Oh, nothing in particular, mother" /"
said Sally. aud lben they all burst into a
laugh again.
$50 much laughing isn't for nothin, "
said the old lady; "you've got some mis-,
chief going on. and must know what It's.
What have YOU got in that bundle, Salh !"
And size moved toward the group to enter
upon an examination, A that the girls
ran into an adjoining bed room, shnttin
the door after them, and laughing loud
and merrily.
81 know what Ills" said linle Peter
French, about ten years old, who had
been sitting quietly 10 the corner and
watching the movements.
"Well, what is il - said Mrs. French.
"Now, Pete" said Sally, looking out
locking out of the bed room door, "if you
tell, Ill box your ears"
Eyes, he may tell )" said Mrs. French,
"and you sha'nt touch him
"Yes, will tell" said little Peter,
"aud you sba'nt touch me, mother says
you sha'nt. And he began te stretch o.
pen his mouth with-"Sal's agoing to
set''-bnt before he proceeded farther,
Sail ran and put her hand over his mouth,
and stopt his utterance. Here two or
three of the larger boys interfered, and
pulled Sally away, calling upon Peter to
know whatit was that ''Sal was going TO
set.
Peter being relieved, again called out
alond--"Sal's going 10 set her cap for the
schoolmaster tonight"
At this. the boys gave shout, the girls
-ciggled, and Mrs. French turned away
and shook her sides in silence.
.sHow 90 you know she's going TO set
her cap for the schoolmaster?" said John
Gray.
"'Cause seen IL, and heard her tell

To me its sound is heavy,
Nor can my thoughts begulle,

No home to light with gladness
