Confidence In His Ma,

"Now run out and play and don't
bother me just now, Johnny. Mammals
busy" said a fond mother to her joy
the other morning, forgetting for mo-
ment that school had opened. Johnny
didn't forget, and he slid out the back
door in hurry.
"Ain't you going to school Johnny"
asked one of his little girl friends, with
her brand new books under her arm.
Nope, my ma said for me to run out
and play, 50 l amt going"
Teacher will lick you"
"No she won't" returned Johnny. MY.
ma can lick teacher"
How do you know
Because she can lick pa, and she's on
my side"

His Father Was Athlete.

DIR. Dudley, of Abingdon, Mass, tells
this story of his man David and his
housekeeper, who had great confidence
in all that David said and did:
One day David was in the barn, doing

There are only 40 tracts to be

the tracts during the month of jan

These tracts are sold with the un-

cost less than $1,250. The idea,
which is a good one, is to eliminate
the erection of shacks.

PLAN TO DUST CHURCH
OF ENGLAND

LONDON, Dec. 27.-..The lords
lords In bold black letters this
appears across the front page of the
Evening Star. 1t metaphorically
represents the feeling of the radi-
Gals, especially the non-conformists,
throughout the country, over the ac-
tion of the house of lords in the de-
molition of the liberal government
educational bill.
The fat is now in the fire, and a
terrible fight will be waged against
the upper house for yesterdays vote.
The Star, which voices the views of
thousands of advanced radicals and
socialists, counsels a remorseless re-
ligious war, with the aim of 'ouSt-
ing the Church of England from our
schools and parliament As for the
house of lords, it should share the
fate of the church, to which it has
prostrated itself. Let them both per-
ish together. Inc church has chosen
as she has chosen in France, to defy
the nation.
A bitter resistance will be made
throughout the country, possibly ac-
companied by some disturbances, to
the execution of the educational laws.
The present law, after yesterdays de-
bacle, is that enacted by Mr. Bal
four's government and the Non-con-
formists declare that they will refuse
to pay the rates which it demands,
the public money going toward in
struetion in church of England doc
trines. Some have had their goods
distrained upon for payment of rates
Many prefer to go to prison rather
than comply with the law.
The law has recently been upheld
by the highest court of appeal of
the country and go to prison they
must, however reluctant the liberal
government may be to enforce the
obnoxious statute.

WHITES MASSACRED
BY YAQUI INDIANS
EIGHT ARE BUTCHERED BY BAND
OF RED MEN-TWO ESCAPE
TRAIN WHICH HAPPEN
ED ALONG.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Dec. 2S.-
Colonel II. B. MaXson, vice-president
of the national irrigation congress
and secretary of the board of educa-
tion of Reno, Nevada, who has been
spending the past few weeks in the
state of Sonora, Mexico, arrived in
Los Angeles yesterday with a graphic
story of the massacre of .Mexicans.
and Americans which occurred at
the little station of Lancho, on the
Cananea, Yaqui River C Pacific rail-
road last Saturday afternoon.
According to the statement OF Max
son, his train stopped an hour at
Lancho. While there rumors were
received that the Yaquis were on the
warpath, and that the few people in
the neighborhood of the station were
in danger. The station master, man
named Thompson, belittled the mat
ter, and said that he and his wife
would remain at their post.
Yaquis Butcher Victims.
The train bearing Colonel Maxson
and party had not left the station
more than an hour when the Yaquis
descended on the little party of Mex
leans and Americans and butchered
four. Station Agent Thompson and
his wife escaped by boarding a work
train that pulled in at the time The
train appeared after four of the peo-
pie had been killed, and Thompson
and his wife had defended themselves
back of the barricaded doors of the
station AS the work train appeared
the Indians withdrew.
The train bearing Colonel Maxson
and party continued to station
about fifteen miles further along the
line, and then, as the signs of the
desperate uprising became more
alarming, they decided to return.
The train started back toward Lam
cho, and when it arrived the station
house had been burned and demol-
ished, and four human bodies lay
along the tracks.
COwardly DesIerados.
The party stopped few minutes
in the hope that survivors might be
found and taken to a place of safety.
While the train was at the ruins of
the station the desperados appered
in the distance, but did not come
within range of the few armed peo-
pie on the train.
The bodies of the victims were
still warm when Maxson saw them,
and with the aid of others on the
train they were given hasty burial.
Other Outrages.
Not many miles along the road
the scene was duplicated. Four more
dead bodies of Mexicans and Amer
leans were discovered along the
tracks. The little band at this sta
ton had been able to repulse the
attack of the Yaquis with the loss
of but four of their number. The
remaining members of the company
refused to leave on the train, but
said they could stand OFF the Indians
until the next day when the rurales
could reach the spot, and summary
Justice would be meted out to the
murderers if captured.
