 NEW YORK. Dec. 2S.-To what ex- tent, if any. change in the original purpose of the citizens peace ban quet to be held Saturday night with President Taft as the guest of honor will be influenced by the refusal of ! Theodore Roosevelt to accept an in- vitation, may be developed the day
 of the dinner, it was intimated to- cay by MillWard J. Boomer. the eX- ecutive committees secretary. when the announced correspondence be- tween himself and Roosevelt will be made public at that date. After the meeting of the executive committee tonight an official statement will he given out in which it is said Presi- dent Taft was made the guest of honor because the committee heartily approved of his attituGe on the prop csition of universal peace including all steps so far taken"

Troops that We're sent out from here several days ago to round up band of Yaqui Indians that have been stealing horses and cattle in the upper end of the valley for the past month: returned to Navojoa yester- day with twelve Yaquis that were captured at small town called CamOa. and located in the upper end of the Mayo valley. The Indians had gone into camp and were sleeping soundly after eating a hearty meal of horse meat. They had their arms stacked and were taken without hay ing a chance to fight. They were brought to NavOjoa last night and placed in jail to await the instruc- tiOns of Governor Maytorena who has been notified of the capture.
 This is the first time the Yaqui Indians have ventured into the Mayo Valley since the year 1884 when a large band raided the town killing the mayor and robbing several stores and private residences. About fifty of the band were captured a few days after the raid and were all hung from a limb of a large mesquite tree that still stands in the graveyard here.
 So far no Reyes movements have occurred in this district, and from pre- sent indications there will be no more trouble on the west coast. There is however, a tendency among cer- tain class of political schemers to start a cOunter-revolution. Most of these were thrown out of office dur ing the late revolution and naturally feel little sore. The laborers. ranchers and small business men which really are the real represen- iative people of the country, ,eem to be perfectly cOntented with the new f5Im of government and arc will ling to give President MaderO chance to fnlfiI his promises
 It seems th&. the sensational press is making progress difficult by pub fishing falsehoOds giving undue prom thence to acts of scattered bands of outlaws who have been operating in different parts of the republic since the revolution.
 At the present time there are five : >aqui chiefs in Mexico city confering with President Madero. and it is be- heved by parties well informed in the Yaqui question that an agreement will be reached that will settle the Yaqui trouble for all time.

THREE WAYS OF SEEING LIFE.

Three men were taking a walk to- gether, as they said. just to while away the time
 The first man intended to go Somewhere. to look at a piece of prop erty which he was considering The second man was ready tO go Any where, since he expected to be happy by the way. writes Henry van Dyke in the January Scribner. The third man thought he was going Nowhere. because he was d philosopher and held that time and space are only mental forms.
 Therefore the third man walked in silence. reflecting upon the vanity of willing away an hour which did not exist, and upon the futility of going when staying was the same thing. But the other men, being more simple. were playing the oldest game in the world and giving names to the things that they saw as they travelled.
 Mutton" said the Somewhere Man. as he looked over a stone wall.
 "A flock of sheep" said the Any where Man. gazing upon the pasture. where the fleecy ewes were nipping grass between tn rocks and the eager lambs nuzzled their mothers.
 But the Nowhere Man meditated on the foolish habit of eating. and said nothing.

 "Pismires.' said the Somewhere Man. kicking the mound; they sting like the devil"
 But the Nowhere Man. being certain that the devil is a myth. said noth- ing.
 "Briars," said the Somewhere Man, as they passed through a coppice.
 "BlackberrieS, said the Anywhere Man; they will blossom next month and ripen in August"
 But the Nowhere Man. to whom they referred the settlement of the first round of the game. decided that both had lost because they spoke on- ly Of accidental phenomena.

NATURAL BARoMETERS.

The chameleon barometer is certain | ly a curiosity which has puzzled a
 good many people. but its construction | is really very simple. The animal l changes color according to the wealth CT. being pink in damp conditions purple in a variable state, andA bright blue when the air is dry, says the Strand Magazine. A cardboard mount is prepared. and this may be lettered in any manner desirNd. The chamele- on is sketched out Un plotting paper. and then immersed in a solution of chloride of cobalt, to which are added chloride of sodium and gum arabic. Any chemist will make up the mixture. A more beautiful chemical hygro-
 scope is formed of a flower made of
 white plotting paper which has been
 immersed in the cobalt mixture. The
 blossoms show many varying shades.
 from bright pink to sky blue. with the
 changes in the degree of dampnesS in
 the atmosphere.
 A somewhat curious storm glass was
 introduced by the late Admiral FftzrOy
 This is formed of a glass tube, stop

 cd a mixture of camphor, nitre. sal ammoniac. alcohol and water. The changes in the state of the atmosphere are indicated by the production of feathery growths. these extending up- wards at the approach of a storm and
 retreating to the lower part of the tube in quiet weather
 A much more simple. but quite ef- fective. contrivance is the water bar ometer This is formed of a glass jam par. an empty oil flash. and plain wa ter. The jar is filled to half it's ca pacity with water, and the inverted flask is placed in the jar The rising and falling of the water in the neck of the flask indicates the increase and decrease of the pressure of the atmos- phere. Of course. the application is the same as that af an ordinary barom- eter
 Two veryv singular weather devices are those in which q frog and a leech are employed. In the former case a glass jam jar is filled to about two- thirds of it's capacity with water. A little wooden ladder IS constructed, and this is placed inside the jar. A frog will live quite happily in such posi- ton for a few weeks. and it will be found that in fine weather the creature | will climb out up to the top of the lad | der In stormy weather, however, the 1 frog prefers to remain under the wa ter. Even more reliable as weather | prophets are leeches. A single leech | $ placed in broad glass bottle with a | piece of perforated bladder or leather | ,ver the mouth. On the approach of | fine or frosty weather the leech re- mains almost motiorless. curled up at the bottom. When rain or wind is coming the creature rises to the sur will cause it to be much agitated: at | imes the leech will even leave the wa er altogether. so sensitive is the ani- nal to an electrical disturbance.

Philadelphia Press. It is clear as and management of public affairs decide the affairs of the American republic. than is presented by the democratic party.
 Voters are tired of investigations
 which lead nowhere. The reign of scandalous attacks. which marshaled
 the democratic vote of a year ago in scores of magazines and hundreds of newspapers and constitute the center of support for the small body which now seeks to control the re- publican party. has ceased to con vince or to persuade. Continuous democratic agitation on the tariff. on the evils of trusts and investigation into alleged frauds. large and small, without trace of constructive leg
 islatiOn. have turned the current of votes toward the republican party.
 The country as q whole. independ- ent of party considerations. wants to see every law on the statute book enforced. Hard working voters want d business chance for business men They desire an equal opportunity for all They are bitterly opposed to any organization. political. financial, corporate or industrial, which seeks either to rule the many for the bene- fit of the few. or to suppress the enterprise of the few in the as- sumed interests of the many. They believe in economy, in self-sup- porting postoffice. in peace. in country great enough and strong enough to make an attack on 1t im- possible, and good enough and just enough to support right the world over.
 These are Republican principles. They should win in 1912, and they can only be deafeated if some Re- publicans, estranged by narrowed policies or crazed by strange theories, are more anxious to have their own way than to see the Republican party continue the progress of the country which has proceeded through sixty years under its leadership.

GENERAL REYES IS IN
 MIGHTY TIGHT PLACE
Chances Are That He Will Pay Full Penalty for His Alleged
 Sedition
[ASS0cidted Press Dispatch |

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 2S.-It is stat cd by authorities here today it is very unlikely General Reyes will be in carcerated when he arrives here. Il is most likely he will be held under guard in some building other than a prison until his trial. The hearing of Reyes is to be pushed as rapidly as possible. Castilazo Fuentes. the attor- ney general, is to be invested with the rank of general of division, and will preside over the military court. Many pleas for leniency for Reyes have been received but among military men it is believed the penalty for Reyes crime will be enforced as he has brought great discredit upon the army of Mex ico by his action.
