All Mexico Up In Arms.

Nearly all of Mexico seems to be
up in arms tonight against President
Madero. With rebels virtually in con
troll OF twenty states, the foreigners
here profess to believe that the presi-
dent sees the doom OF his administra-
ton and wants United States troops
to come in and save him from the
fate of Diaz.
The statement issued few days
ago by Juan Sanchez Azscona, Ma.
dero's secretary, in which he predict
ed a slaughter of Americans, should
United States troops cross the Dor
der, is believed by many to have been
inspired by Madero himself.
Tonight thousands of persons filled
the streets Of the city mostly Mexl-
cans-waiting for extras and bulle-
tins from the Spanish papers. All of
these people were in a state OF high
excitement and there were many ru-
mors circulated among them that
American troops would cross the north
ern boundary of Mexico Sunday. Such
rumors are ignored by the foreigners
of course, but it is feared they may
inflame the natives to carry out AIS
cona's predicted massacre. The garri-
son here consists of only fifteen hun
dred men, a smaller force than Diaz
ever had here.

both sides in battle near there to-
day between federals and rebels. Eff.
ty-three are dead as the result of an
engagement with Zapatistas near Gu

afternoon, after raging most of this
morning.
All the southern rebels today made
concerted attacks on the various
towns in the south, apparently acting

innocence.

Innocence is lovely in the child, be-
cause in harmony with It's nature; but
our path in life is not backward but
onward, and virtue can never be the
offspring OF mere innocence. :, If we
are to progress in the knowledge of
good, We must also progress in the
knowledge OF evil. Every experience
Of evil brings its own temptation, and
according to the degree in which the
evil is recognized and the temptations
resisted will be the value of the char
acter into which the individual will
develop.
Innocence may be beautiful, but can
never be strong, while the whole es
sence of virtue Hes in its strength
to resist and power to endure. If the
innocence of childhood be replaced by
the firm principles OF integrity and
honor, the loss will be really great
gain. 1t Is only where the knowledge
of evil is unattended by appreciation
OF its nature, where temptations ars
yielded to and not resisted. that We
are induced to grieye over the depart
ure Of that innocence which was &c
beautiful in earlier years.
