drifted to other matters.
In the course Of the afternoon Uncle
Billy had two other callers, Cousin
Caroline, who was visiting the family,
and said that If 1t were her house that
shade would be mended at once, and
Trude, who said nothing about it be-
cause she did not notice 1t.
A week went by. and the crooked
shade was still crooked, and Evelyn
sympathized, and her mother said that
she must get time to mend it, and
Cousin Caroline smiled significantly,
and Trude had not yet discovered 1t.

The next day Polly came home That
first evening she spent chiefly in hug

Not particularly" Uncle Billy re-
piled.

MILITIA CONTROLS
TOWN OF CANANEA
Outbreak Was of Revolutionary
Character.
TROOPS CONTROL SITUATION
A Circular Addressed TO Mexican
Workmen Discovered Which Shows
that Outbreak Was of Revolutionary
Character.

Bisbee, Ariz., June 5.-A telephone
message was received here Monday
night from Cananea to the effect that
the town is still under control of the
Mexican military authorities.
Mexican troops and rurales have
continued to arrive until General Tor
res and Colonel Kosterlitzslly now
have sufficient force to control any
outbreak that might occur. So far
there has been no disposition shown
on the part of the Mexican miners to
return to work, and the smelling plant
of the Cananea Consolidated Copper
company and the mines are working
short-handed
The banks and stores were opened
for business after remaining closed
since Friday.
That the outbreak of Friday was Of
a revolutionary character was prov
en- by the discovery of the following
circular, copies of which had been
distributed among the Mexican mi
ners:
Mexican Workmen: A government
is elected by the people to guide them
and satisfy their necessities in all re-
quirements. This Mexico does not
possess. On the other hand, a gov.
ernment exists which is composed of
ambitious persons, who criminaIly
contemplate expressing the people,
being elected by the worst of them in
order that they might assist them in
enriching themselves. This, Mexico
does not need. That the people elect
their officers to govern them, not TO
ridicule them, is what the republic
should be. People, arouse yourselves
and act; learn that which you seem
to have forgotten. Congregate and
discuss your rights. Demand the re.
spect that is due you. Every Mexi-
can whom the foreigners despise is
worth just as much or more than those
foreigners if he will join with his
brothers and assert his rights. Curse
the thought that Mexican is worth
less than yankee; that a negro or a
Chinaman is to be compared with a
Mexican; that this is a fact is a re
suit Of a very bad government which
gives the advantages to the adven-
turers rather than to the true owners
of this unfortunate land Mexicans
awake! The country and our dignity
demands it,"
