MEXICO FEARING u. S.
INTERVENTION TAKES STEPS
TO PROTECT AMERICANS

Though the President has denied re-
oeiving any news of the United States
intention to intervene in Mexico and
considers any such rumor as pre-
posterous, "since President Tafts at
titude has been very precise in the
matter" nobody doubts that he ie
fully posted concerning the interven-
tion news from Beverly, Mass, and
the predictions of an extra session OF
Congress. Today's developments sug-
gest that he will do all in his power tc
head of any such outcome by the
most desperate efforts to restore order

WHY COWS STOOD IN WATER
Artistic Limitations Responsible for
Characteristic Attitude Of the
Humble Bovine.

In north of England town there
was a shiftless man who would never
accept gifts outright, although he was
always depending on charity, says al
Priddy in his book, Through the
Mill" relates the Youths Companion:
He painted landscapes, and my aunt,
when Denevolently inclined, would
hire him to decorate our walls with
rural scenes, highly colored in glazing
tints, as if nature had turned color
blind. There were cows in every
scene, and Aunt Mile noticed that all
the cows were up to their knees in
water. Not one stood on the vivid
green hills.
"Jorvey," she remarked to the old
man, why do you always put the cows
in the water?"
Its this way, Mrs. Brindin," the old
artist responded. "You see, ma'am,
never learned to paint hoofs."

face and to my neck. It would be scar
let red when / got warm. My face
was a sight. 1t looked very unpleas-
ant, and it felt uncomfortable. My
face was something awful; it just kept
me in agony all the time. Some said
it was letter, and some said it was
that awful eczema, but l rather think
it was letter. | had been troubled
with it for about two years and tried
many remedies, but got no relief until
l used Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
when 1 would wash my face with
the Cuticura Soap and apply the Cuti-
cura Ointment it would cool my skin
and draw great big drops Of matter
out of the skin. You would think /
was sweating; it would run down my
face just as though l had washed it.
It itched and smarted and suffered

on the beach outside the hotel The
drum was in charge of a blacksmith,
and he beat it so resonantly that at
