TELEGRAPH TO THEODORE.

If the ship of state needs caulking;
Or the lions tail a twist;
If the senators are baking,
If a silver spoon is missed;
If the plague strikes Honolulu;
If there's trouble in the cup
Why, just write to Mr.. Roosevelt,
| And he'll fix the matter up.
If they lynch a coon il Texas;
If the green bugs in the wheat;
If there's anything to e US;
If you're troubled with cold feet;
If your dinner isn't ready,
Or you're feeling rather dry
Send a telegram to Teddy,
And you'll get a not reply.
If there's too much rain in Kansas;
Or it's dry in Tennessee;
If a summer cyclone fans us;
Or if Towser has a flea;
If your sweetheart should prove tickle
If you wan to know the core;
If you get a punctured nickel
Drop a line to Theodore.
If you need another member
Of the Ananias Club,
If you're sunstruck in December;
Or you're suffering for grub;
If the railroad rates are higher,
Or the beef trust gets too gay;
Ring up Roosevelt on the wire;
And there'll be the deuce t o pay.
If the stork don't visit promptly;
If we lose to the Maroons;
If Ben Tillman's full of malice,
Or LaFollette full of prunes;
If the troops shoot up a city,
Or you a lot pay our rent-
Take a lesson from this ditty;
Wire to Roosevelt, president.
If there's scandal in eoria,
Or the city's filed with graft;
Or if Storer tells his story,
Or they're knocking on Bill Taft;
If a panic hits the nation,
Or they loose the dogs of war;
Or if God needs a vacation
Let Him trust in Theodore.

there were some sensational escapes
from bad falls.
A CREASED pole was erected and

luck at climbing it, One would

perry surface. After awhile strategy
was tried and rosin, sand, rags and
anything that would stop that
awful slipping were pressed into
service. But it was hard work and
only little grease was removed
each time. At last one urchin
made "a desperate effort and won.
With rosin on mis- hands, sand in
his pockets and a rag between his
teeth, he climbed slowly but surely
till the prize was his. After this
there was an obstacle race, in
which the correspondent with the
unwisdom of youth entered. He
was caught on the next to the last
hurdle and he did a high dive to
the next, arriving under the hurdle
on his ear. When he got up be
had to back off.
At four o'clock the official parade
took place, starting and ending at
the Palacio. Through the kind
ness of the junta the American
colony had been asked to take part
in this. Through Mr.. Obermuller,
the acting consular agent, the invi-
tation was accepted in behalf of
the American colony. Mr.. Ober-
muller, Mr.. BOWL and Mr.. Briggs
arranged for distinctive decora-
ton for the colony, and all Ameri-
cans in and around Alamos, were
rounded up. Headed by the Mex
lean and American flags they made
a brave showing. Arriving from
the Consulate to the Palacio, the
Project, with that kindness and
tact that always characterizes him,
insisted on Mr.. Obermuller march
ing in front with the nigh district
officials. The Americans were also
given position behind the band.
The parade took in all the prin-
cipal streets and ended at the
Palacio, where all entered, and
again the eagle of freedom screamed
in triumph. The brew that mado
Milwaukee jealous was passed
around among the Americans and
much appreciated. The national
hymn was played and the Ameri-
cans gave three rousing "Vivas" for
Mexico. When the Americans
were ready to return to the Con-
sulate Mr.. German Bley, president
of Junta, insisted on the band
leading them back. In the evening
there was music in the plaza till
midnight.
The credit for the success OF
the celebration belongs to Mr..
German Bley one of Alamos' most
popular citizens and the rest of the
committee, which consisted of Sr.
Juan de Dias Otero, Sr. Roberto
Quiroz, Sr. George LeBraugn, Dr.
Raphael Cruz, ST.. Alberto Cult

members of the Casino gave a ball

The 9Sth anniversary OF Mexican
Independence was fifty celebrated
here in Alamos. The celebration
opened up on the evening of the
10Th with a ring tournament.
Rings decorated with colored rib
bons were hung in a single row
about the height of a mans
shoulders on horseback. Armed
with lances the contestants came
full tilt and endeavored to pass the
tips of their lances through the
rings and thus carry them and the
attached ribbon off. On the stand,
which was decorated with the tri-
color of Mexico, sat the queens
pretty sehoritas-each one having
a sash the color of one of the rib.
bons on the rings. When one OF
the caballeros would secure a ring
the band would strike up and the
lucky one would dismount and go
to the bevy Of queens and have the
sash that correspondent to the color
on his ring placed over his
shoulders. 1t was all very pretty
and full of action.
From six to nine in the evening
there was a concert on the Plaza
de Arrnas. AT nine everyone went
to the Palacio where in fiery
speeches the Mexican eagle of free
dom spread her wings and screamed
in triumph. After the speeches
the diplomas for the last school
year were awarded. Prizes were
also presented those school children
who had excelled in any especial
study.
Following short speech by Sr.
Don Francisco Salido, the Justly
celebrated project of this district,
the Mexican National hymn was
sung by all present, all standing
and all with heads uncovered. Up
into the uncovered starry dome
above, the grand song OF freedom
rose and fell, and all that dwelt
beneath the folds of the Mexican
banner put their hearts into the
song.
AT the singing of the hymn all
wendell their way homeward and
stiffness settled on the old town

ACTOR WAS BOWED WITH GRIEF.
But Not Altogether Because of the
Death of His Wife.

A certain well-known actor was
curiously enough-yery much attached
to his wife. She died, after linger-
ing illness, and the poor old Thespian
was all broken up about it. One night
a friend went to the actors dressing
room and found him in tears. He was
making up, and having a hard time
of 1t.
Excuse me, old chap" he muttered,
brokenly. This is weakness, Of
course, but I was just thinking of my
wife. I'll never get this makeup on
