 Somehow I always think that 1t indi- catess lack of sincerity, along with this sweetheart" precious" darling slushy business that never impresses peo- pie, but always disgusts them.
 However, this is a very sweeping state ment, and so before venturing to express my humble opinion on the subject in cold lead, decided to call in a bunch of girls in consultation. and I gleaned some rather pertinent information.
 The first to express an opinion was my

FINE PROGRAM
GIVEN AT VIEWER
Entertainment Under Auspices Of w.
c. T. v. Was Greatly
Enjoyed.

VIEWER, Iowa, Oct. 19-The enter
tainment given under the auspices OF
the w. c. T. u of this place by Miss
Woodruff, Miss Murphy and Mr.. Sloat
was well attended and the program q
fine one Miss Woodroffe is master
hand at the piano She combines nat
ural talent with a technical education
and has a rare charm as performer.
Miss Murphy proved reader OF more
than ordinary ability. She has very
attractive stage appearance and a
rich, strong voice. Both her difficult,
musically accompanied, readings and
child dialect were perfectly rendered.
Mr.. Sloat captivated the audience
with his cornet numbers, and is able
to render cornet solo that is as
soothing and free from harshness in a
I small room as in a large one, an &C
complishment few cornetists have.
4 Every number was appreciated by
4 the audience, but those particularly
we'll liked were the little musical
novelty, "Bill's Tune" by Miss Wood
roffe: Miss Murphy's Indian club drill
and Mr.. sloat's solo from "Trovatore. Z"

fire of the two forces.
From that spot the correspondents
witnessed the fighting until Admiral
Sab, observing the danger of their
position, ordered them out of the fir

withdrew, and as they did so they
were fired on by men who had been
landed from the warships. Fortu-
nately, comrades of their assailants
iinterferred, the shooting ceased and
the correspondents escaped unharmed.

hours. while the combined land and

MEXICO CITY, Oct 19.-Relations
between Mexico and Guatemala which
have been strainel for SOME time,
reached crisis today when the Mex

Within the past ten days 1t became
known here that the aged General
Bernado Reyes, now in exile at San

with the Guatemalan government with
the idea of securing its aid to place
him In power in Mexico. Word was
received this morning that the presi-
dent of Guatemala had ordered a
mobilization of troops along the Mex
ican boundary and Madero immediate
ly ordered the Mexican troops to pro

That General Reyes, supposing his
dealings with Guatemala to be cor

reached here today. The Cheapatas
