City of Mexico, February "A petition will be presented to President Diaz for the pardon of Edward T. Adams of New Orleans, who in 1892 murdered Carlo Sar- quet, waiter in the National Opera House Restaurant.

Southern Victory.

The passage of the postoflice appropriation bill with the retention of the appropriation ot s171 ,00O for the Southern mail was great victory for the advocates of that subsidy. The Alabama Congressman, especially Un- derwood, Clayton and Stallings, made a hard fight to keep the subsidy in the bill' and partly as a result of the efforts the motion to strike it out was beaten, 12S to 71 There is now no question of its pass age through the Senate.

attack upon railroads and other cor

There were marks of violence upon 1t

There were several other parties ar

UNCLE SAM WILL NOT PAY.
The Comptroller Refuses to Recog-
niZe a Sentimental Claim.

Your Uncle Samuel will never pay a
bill that he can get out of through a
technical loophole. Equity does not
go with him; you've got to have the
documents on him il black and white,
and be careful that they are accurate,
too.
Here's a little case in the treasury
department showing how thrifty Uncle
Sam can be on occasion Mr.. Hagerty
of San Francisco presented Il claim for
1920, for injuries TO his buggy in
Cured while rendering aid to one of
Uncle Sans servants. The keeper of
the Golden Gate Life-Saving Station,
while attempting to force the life boat
through the breakers, was injured and
rendered unconscious. MIR. Hagerty
was driving along the beach in light
road buggy and directed the injured
man to be placed in it. He drove rap
idly to the station so that the man
could receive medical aid. The roads
being bad and the load being heavier
than the vehicle was intended to carry
the aYles were bent and the springs
broken. Mr.. Hagerty thought that
the government might pay the bill.
But the comptroller of the tseasury
saw loOphole. There had been no
contract and be would not pay. Next
time Mr.. Hagerty goes round aiding
injured life-savers he will probably
make contract with duly authoriz-
ed agent before he permits the use of
his road buggy.

FOSTERS MISFORTUNES.
Evil Days Come Upon a Man
Once Conspicuous in Ma
tiOnaI Affairs.

Twenty years ago Charles Foster of
Ohio was one of the most prosperous
and influential men in the United
States. He was governor of one of
the greatest of the states. He had
been powerful in the administration of
his friend and fellow statesman, Pres.
ident Hayes, and it was believed that
he would have a wide swing with the
Garfield administration which had
just begun. He was in the prime of
life, rich, personally and politically
very popular and the prospect of many
added honors doomed bright before
him.
Many succeeding years were happy
for him. President BENJAMIN Harri-
son called him to the very important
and highly honorable office of secre-
tary of the treasury and he was still
high in the list of his party's leaders,
But the evil days came. Charles
Foster, congressman, ex-governor
and eX-secretary of the treasury, last
Wednesday filed petition in bank
ruptcy in Toledo. He declares that he
owes S747, 900 and has no assets.
The public accepts this statement as
it has been known for some time that
Governor Fosters property had been
swept away and that he was deeply in
debt, and it is the belief of all who
know the man that he is honest and
that his financial failure was his mis-
fortune rather than his fault.
Charles Foster started life poor and
without influential friends. He fought
his own way and by force of character
ACHE Jed great success as a merchant,
a politician and a financier The mid
die years of his life were richly pros
porous, but now at 20 he finds himself
poor, out of the current of politics and
almost forgotten by the public before
which he stood not many years ago so

Chicago Employer and Discouraged
Emplove Learn a Lesson.

a young man who recently obtained

His mother used to go to school with

as pleasant as possible for him, and sent
an invitation "tO come on Saturday
evening and stay over till Monday"
whenever he felt like it.
The head of the firm by which the
young man is employed long ago ceased
to regard it as necessary to remain
chained at a desk. He sometimes re-
mains away from the establishment for
weeks at time, and it frequently hap
pens that men enter his service and quit
it without becoming acquainted with
him, says the Chicago Record-Herald

Red Lodge, Nov. 4.-Considerable trou-

Reno is postmaster at Chance, several
miles south Of Red Lodge, and lives in
the rear of the postoffice, only partition
dividing the residence room from the

The county physician has taken no
steps to remove the sick man, and his
wife continues to attend him, at the
same time discharging the duties of post
mistress.
Postmaster Anderson has wired the de-
partment at Washington for instructions
in reference to handling the mails from
the Chance Office, and awaiting definite
orders, has in the meantime refused to
receive mail matter from Chance until
that office has been fumigated.
1t is suspected here that the postmaster
has a contagious disease which may
,be the cause of an epidemic, should mail
from Chance be allowed to go out.

Not His Lead,

From over the hills, far away, comes
a story concerning Uncle joe Cannon
and what happened when he Went to
church one day recently. The tale is not
we'll authenticated, but is so probable
that the story will bear telling. 1t is
solemnly alleged that on the day in
question the man used to delight IN haV-
ing himself called the "hayseed con-
gresham" went to prayer meeting.
The night before, it appears, he had
been out with a number of congenial
spirits who whiled away the time by
playing cards at a penny heart. They
tarried long at the game. Therefore it
was quite natural that on the next even-
ing Mr. Cannon yielded TO the somno-
lent influences of the meeting house.
They allege that the Hon. Joseph fell
sound asleep and, further, that he
emitted a stentorian snore. This shocked
the good brother who was leading the
meeting. He determined TO awaken the
sleeper.
