Among the looted stores was one

their undoing, as the scouts sent out

Gossip in the town has it that a
large portion of the money appropri-
ated by the government for this mem
orial was diverted to certain private
purses. The clock, which has four
dals, was too high to be hit by stones,
but was made the target of fusllade
of shots. Owing to the ineXperience
of the marksmen or to the effect OF
pulque, the big timepiece was hit only
three times. Windows of the National

assume regarding those in Mexico who
might seek to come into the United

that the women and children would

Pachuca, Hidalgo, Mexico, May 10
This city, the capital of the state or
Hidalgo, which was in the hands OF
rioters who broke nearly every win
dow in town last night, looting stores
and saloons, was quiet tonight under
the guardianship of Gabriel Herman
dex and $50 of his men who marched
in this morning. The federal garri-
son of eighty rurales Joined the rebel
forces without firing a shot AMI
marched around the plaza with their
new comrades keeping step to the

siasm.
Colonel Hernandez stated to the
newspaper men that his scouts had
captured twenty fugitives whom they
found in the hills with loot and ex-
ecuted them. No one within the city

Hernandez said that Figueroa's 5
force numbered 5000 fully equipped
men, and that they have five rail
road trains ready to assist in the
movement of the troops.
A detachment of federal soldiers
was started from Mexico City for
this point this morning, but the
train was stopped at Tula by orders
from the war office. 1t is thought
the government wished to avoid blood
shed at this time when they believe
that there is an excellent chance to
restore peace by means of the peace
negotiations.
The regular passenger train wnfch
leaves Mexico City at o'clock and
arrives here at 1920, was stopped just
outside the towns and searched for
soldiers. None was found, but the
train was held here, Conductor Crutch-

Homemade Valentine.

The 14th of February has come around again. and, of course. every body is beginning to think of valen- tines. Perhaps you may be glad to have a few ideas for homemade" val entines, which are always prettier and more interesting than those you buy. Take an envelope of any shape de sired and open it out flat by slipping a knife underneath the flap and So loosening the mucilage. On the inside print the following verse:
 To you I send. dear Valentine.
 This faithful little heart of mine.
 Its every beat is full of love
 For you. my own dear turtledove.
 The word heart may be pictured in- stead of printed or cut out and pasted to the envelope. The same way with the turtledove. the turtle being green and the dove a soft gray.
 Fasten the envelope again and on the outside write:
 If you but break, dear Valentine
 This binding seal of wax and twine
 And look beneath youn surely see
 The greatness of my love for thee.
 Tie it with a piece Of red twine or ribbon, then seal it with red wax or any other color you happen to have. and the valentine Is complete.

NEW MEXICO HOPES.

WASHINGTON, D. C., March D. Residents of New Mexico, who are here in the interest of statehood are expressing the belief that President Taft will shortly issue a proclamation under the enabling act admitting New Mexico to statehood without further action by Congress. According to their statements, the president will. take the position that congress fail. ing to disapprove the constitution of New Mexico at the session just end. ed, and the president having approv- ed the constitution and submitted t Ito congress before the close of the session, it becomes his duty to issue the proclamation admitting the terri. tory to statehood
 While the senate voted down the bill approving the constitution, the house did not take unfavorabIe ac. tion, and according to the New Mex. jeans nothing prevents the president from construing the session which just closed as the next regular ses. sion, inasmuch as he submitted the constitution to this congress and if failed to disapprove it.

Old Rhymes.

The common little rhyme beginning Thirty days has September" if not as old as the hills at least is as old as 1896. for in that year it was printed in London in an old arithmetic This Is how it reads in its original form:
 ''Thirtie daies hath September. April. June and Novemember; Feb ruarie eight an twenty alone; all the rest thirtie and one"
 The rhyme beginning "Multipllca- ton is vexation" is likewise not an outburst of modern scholars. for it Is found in manuscript of even older date, 1570:
 Multiplication is mic vexation,
 And Division quite as bad
 The Golden rule Is mic stumbling stule.
 And Practice makes mic mad.
