WAsmxdroS, January 1.-The Zona
Libre, or 'Free Zone," extending fifty
miles wide across the eastern half OF the
northern part OF Mexico along the border
of the United States, has been a famous re-
sort for smugglers and all sorts Of adyen-
turers and free-booters. The northern
States OF Mexico of the western half are
very anxious to have the Zona Ltbre ex-
tended across the entire width Of their ter
ritory, in order, it is supposed, that they
may also enjoy the facilities for smuggling
and free.booting, and the Mexican Govern
ment has taken steps 10 have the propo2i-
ton considered by the United States. In
structions have been sent by the State De-
partment here to Minister Morgan to notify
the Mexican authorities that the PROPOSE

says that he knows nothing about it; that

thing, however, he is sure-that il he is re-

Nor to scatter thOrnS, but roses.
For our reaping by and by.
Strange we never prize the music.
Till the sweet voice bird has flown;
Strange that we should slight the violets
Till the lovely flowers are gone.
Strange that summer skies and sunshine
Never seem one half Sc fair
As when winters snowy piniOns
Shake their white down in the air.
Lips from which the seal of silence
None but God can roll away,
Never bfossOmed in such beauty
AS adorns the mouth to-day:
And sweet words that freight our luemorJ
With their beautiful perfume,
Come to us in sweetest accents:
Through the portals of the tomb.
Let US gather up the sunbeamS
Lying all along our path;
Let US keep the wheat and roses.
Casting out the thornS and chatt:
Let us find our sweetest comfort
In the blessings Of to-day.
With a patient hand removing

A CURIOUS EXPERIENCE.

This is the story which the Major told
me, a, nearly as can recall it,
In the winter of 1925 l was COM
mandant Of Fort Trumbull, at New Lon
don, Connecticut. May be our life there
was not So brisk as life at S'the 'front.'
still it was brisk enough in its way
mes brains didn't cake together there
for lack of something to keep them
stirring. For one thing, all the northern

sort of thing. You remember it. All
this had a tendency to keep us awake,
and knock the traditional dullneSS out OF
garrison life Besides, ours was re-
cru. ling station, which is the same as
saving we hadn't any time to waste IN
doing. or dreaming, or tQOllng around.
Why, with all our WatchtullnCSs, fifty
per cent of a days recruits would leak
out of our hand! and give us the slip the
same night The bounties were so prOdi-
gious that q recruit could pay a sentinel
three or four hundred dollars to let him
escape, and still have enough of his
bounty money left to constitute fortune
for poor man. Yes, as | said before,
our life was not drO"sy.

me again, and said, in tone which went

Though man spoke with The tongues
of men and OF angels. he could not con
vince the country that the result Of the
election was other than the defeat Of the
bosses. That was the sole issue at stake.
Grown more impulent even than their
wont by the possession of unlimited
power, they proceeded to the last eX-
tremc of indignity. They asserted their
claim to political control rs natural
right, and demanded the support Of
every party voter as tho service due
from a slave. They scizel upon ;he re-
publican parry and turned its honored
name to their own vile purposes. They
thought to build mp a great power with
the federal patronage. This was the
presidents own idea of practical polit-
les The very flower of spoils system,

position than Il feeder of swine, sur
rounded by lieutenants Of his own tenn
per, he absolutely could not understand
the possibility Of great party di~attcc-
tion on account of what he contcmptu-
ously calls a theory" But this is the
sort Of men whom the people have dis
owned with terrible emphasis every
where. New York was the territory of
the arch boss, and there the disgust was
deepest Pennsylvania sent word to
Cameron, and New Hampshire to
Chandler, and Michigan TO llubbell, and
Iowa to Henderson, and New Jersey to
Robson. And in lesser degree every
other part of the country, by a reduced
republican vote, gave the party its opin-
ion about the present condition of af-
fairs. This one issue, and this alone, is
plainly paramount everywhere. The
people have no love for the democratic
party, organized machine as il is from
head to tall They despSe Boss Randall
and Boss Butler and Boss Kelly, as
heartily as Boss kefer and Boss French
and Boss Arthur. They have not dcmol-
ished one machine to set up another.

and the bray Of the Randall crew are
