Mexican Frontier Secure.

Washington, May 11.-Some week
ago the papers published a Telegram
from Texas, stating that Spanish sub
iects residing in Mexico near the from
tier, were preparing a iilibustering ex
peditiOn to invade Texas. The Mexican
minister is in receipt of an official com
munication from the Mexican govern
ment saying the statement is altogether
groundless, but the Mexican govern.
ment, anticipating such danger, rein
forced considerably the troops garrison
ing the frontier of the United States.

News From Sampson Hourly Expected.
The navy department is in almost
hourly expectation of advccs from

lion from the squadron via St. Thomas
and the feet of dispatch boats which
accompany Admiral Simpsons squadron.
Notwithstanding cable advices that the
Spanish flying squadron has rejoined
,he Spanish home squadron at Cadiz,
,he naval strategy board is by no means
assured on this point and while Sampson
las been placed in possession of the
cable reports, he has been advised not
% accept them as absolutely conclusive.

= GOOD WORD FOR THE BOYS,

Editor Democrat
There has been so much written and
said ia the last few months about the
bad bow" OF South Paris, that we be-
gin TO think that IL IL only just TO the
bows and the place in which they live,
that something be said on the other side
of the question.
Now we want 10 be clearly understood
from the start. that We don't wish TO
excuse, or in any way overlook the bad
actions Of any boy; but We do believe
there is at least spark OF goodness In
the souls Of every one of them. We can
not believe there i one that walks our
streets, that has fallen SO low bot he
can be reclaimed II he Is handled lightly.
But il can never be done by kicking
him; boys don't thrive that way.
We all know that rubber ball wont
STAY on the ground il you keep kicking
IL. IL Is lust the same with boy. IL
Won kick him too much he will rebound
and come down where you least expect
him. It's his nsture-he can't help Ii.
But treat him kindly, speak nothing
but pleasant words 10 him, show him
that YOU think he Is just as good as YOU
are. and see what you will get. You
will get Just the same treatment tnat
YOU give. Ii Is cause and eject the
world over, and our bright, smart boys
are no exception to the common rule.
We shall lind il We get better AZ quaint-
ed with them that they are not altogether
had. IL some Of them are big rogues
There Is no class In this wide world Of
ours that will remember Kindness any
longer. or hasten any quicker to return
it-at least that has been our experience
But, We bear some say, 1t Is bad oosines;
10 encourage the bOys, they will taxi
advantage Of it and do worse. Have yot
ever tried it to sees D. these blood
bought souls, for whom Christ died. i
il for US to say that they can't be saved
Are their hands so besmesred with 81
that we cannot reach out and lesd then
10 the Lamb Of God that taketh ava.
the sia of the world"s When We hav
All learned the lesson OF helPfulness AMI
Christian sympathy Alright, then, and no
until then, shall we know how 70 nell

God bless the boys Of South Paris
aud help them to be noble, manly ant
