Why She Lost
Patience

John" said Mrs. Skidmore as she
alighted from the train, IF you could
just see what our dear son has to put
up with" There was a suggestion OF
grief in her voice.
IT'LL I'm laid in my coffin" she con-
tinued, Il shall never get over the
shock of this surprise trip. He was
simply inveigled into marrying that
girl. Happy Yes. of course he act
ed happy before me, but he was bull
lied into that!" Mrs. Skidmore
shifted
"Oh, and after the careful manner In
which we raised our poor child.
You see" painted Mrs. Skidmore, as
she followed her husband up the sta
ton steps, Il was the last person IN
the world they expected to have drop
down on them in New York. But that,
and the fact that reached their apart
ment in the Bronx at 20 minutes to 10,
at night, gave me an insight.
When | reached New York l did
not call them up from the station, but
got cab and went right up to the
house. To increase their surprise still
more, | did not ring the bell when
found that the janitor had left the YES
thule door open. | merely went up.
Fortunately, or | never would have
known of our poor dear boys misery
that wife OF his had her front door
unlocked. So | turned the knob and
stood in the long narrow hall which
has made the Bronx apartments so eel
ebrated." Mrs. Skidmore's delicate
cheeks were flushed.

it, by length and character of service.
The civil pension would be just and
equitable in its administration and ap-
plication. The hap-hazard administra-
tion of the military service pension,
under these laws which now propose
to spend nearly $2OO,OOO,OOO a year, is
neither. The civil pension would be
an encouragement to better service,
and guarantee of improved efficiency.
1t is not all that the civil service needs;
but comparing the beneficial results
which would flow from a wise employ
ment of it, with the doubtful en-
which patriotism may
receive from the pension plans 'of the
Sulloway bill and the Sickles retire
ment plan, it may fairly be observed
that worse things than a civil pension
list could be inflicted on this country.

JUAREZ RESUh|NG
FORMER ACTIVITIES
Much Heralded Campaign
Against 1t Ended by
Navarro's Arrival.

Ell, PASO, Tex, Feb. E.-The much
advertised campaign against Juarez Is
believed to be at an end today. as a
result Of the coming of General Ma
varro, who reached that city last night
at the head of 1000 infantry and 500
cavalry. Everywhere in Juarez there is
rejoicing today, and the city IS rapidly
resuming its former activities.
Navarro's entry into Juarez with two
troop taains and construction train
was entirely peaceful and unexpected.
After several brief skirmishes with the
federal commanders pickets below
Samalavuca, he insuTrectos made no
effort to stop NaVarTo's ADVANCE He
asserts that his only difficulty in travel
ing north from Chihuahua lay in the
fact that he had TO repair twenty-five
bridges.
Even members of the revolutionary
tunta here admit that Orozco's cam
paign before Juarez has been miser-
of the result of the revolution in the
northern states No reports of Orozcos
whereabouts were received during the
morning.
Navarro is expected to lose no time in
sallying forth against Orozco. Federal
officials at Juarez predict that the whole
revolutionary force in the north will be
scattered before Sunday.
council of War was held today at
Zaragosa, where Provisional Governor
Gonzales has established a new provi-
sionaJ government Provisional PreSi-
dent Madero was expected to attend it.

AN AMERICAN SALON OPENS
IN PARIS.

1t may be assumed that American
art has advanced far when there are
enough American artists, sculptors,
and engravers in Paris to make a sue
cess of a salon of their own. This first
exhibition will be opened tomorrow,
under the auspices of the American
ambassador and the under secretary of
fine arts. Twenty-six painters, sculp-
tors, and engravers will be represented,
$50 examples of their work having been
chosen for exhibition. When it is con-
sdered that every civilized country
has its students in Paris, each fired
with the personal ambition of the
artist and the equal ardor of patriotic
pride, the distinction which the
American representatives have been
able to win for themselves and their
country is highly gratifying to art
lovers on this side the water.

RECIPROCITY PACT CARRIES
THE HOUSE.

The vote of POI to 90, by which tn,
Canadian reciprocity legislation carried
the House, does not indicate the pro
portion of chances that it will become
law; but it does suggest that the
Presidents plan has precipitated a re-
markable political situation.
In the House 443 Democrats voted fol-
the proposal of Republican President
and only five voted against it. At the
same time eighty-seven Republicans
voted against and only seventy eight
for it.
That is, the President has an almost
solid support of the Democrats, while
a minority of his own party stands
with him.
These figures convey more plainly
than anything else couId-indeed, more
plainly than fair consideration of all
the facts would warrant-that the Re-
publicans are sadly divided while the
Democrats are almost a unit on the
tariff question as now presented.
1t is forecast of a most ominous
situation for the party now in power
when it shall face the people in the
Presidential election next year.
But in truth the Democrats are not
