MEN ARRESTED
CROSSING BRIDGE
TWO MEN FROM BROWNSVILLE
PRISONERS.
Arturo Margain and Jose Garcia Ar
rested and Bound While Crossing
International Bridge. Were Well
Over on Mexico Side When Taken.

Arturo Margain and Jose Garcia
! Of Brownsville were taken prisoners
by Mexican officers on the Matamo-
rOs end Of the International bridge
Sunday night. They had evidently
been across he river. and were re-
turning across the bridge on foot
from the Mexico side TO the United
States at about 7:30 D. m. 1t was
noticed that hey were followed by a
Mexican officer.
Just before arriving at the end of
the bridge on this side of the river,
the Mexican office= called to the two
men who were then about hundred
yards this side of the United States
custom house and they returned TO
him and after some conversation,
proceeded TO cross the bridge 10 the
Mexico side with him, going appar-
emily without the least coercion.
Al the United States custom house
the Mexican officer paid the toll for
himself and the other two men and
they walked across the bridge to-
gether.
After arriving upon the Mexico
side the officer drew his gun, arrest
ing Margain and Garcia. AT the same
time, about fifteen Mexico custom
house officers came TO the assistance
of the Mexican officer and together
they bound the prisoners, placed
them in a hack and took them to the
military headquarters at Matamoros.
The two men with DR.. Monterros-
who was arrested Saturday night,
were taken from Matamoros yester-
day on their way to the City Of Mex
leo.
Arturo Margain was arrefsed some
time ago by IT, s officers, charged
with violating the neutrality laws in
the Reyes revolution and was out on
bond to appear before the April term
of the Federal court here.
Jose T. Garcia has been engaged
in the grocery business here for
some time Beth men are believed
to have been in touch with the revo-
lutionary party in Mexico. Both
they and Mon+erras very probabl.
were enticed across the border by
strategy. A certain prominent river
guard from Ma moros has been Wis
iting Monterras and his party here
frequently, pretending to be in SYM
pathy with the movement against
Madero. II is believed that he de-
coyed the three men into the tolls of
the Mexican officers.

Throuoh Thick and Thin.

If monarchs have often permitted themselves the indulgence of making puns the fact has not been recorded iD the pages of history. One pun. how ever, Is assigned to King Frederick William ". of Prussia. It is said that on the occasion of a court ball he was standing near the middle of the dance hall in conversation with an exceed ingly thin ambassador. In the haste and excitement of a fiery galop a lieu. tenant of the hussars danced with hls partner between the monarch and the person whom he was addressing. and then, seeing what he had done, he be gan to stammer abject apologies and explanations
 "Oh. that was nothing" replied the king, with a hearty laugh. "A hussar must go without fear through thick and thin"
 whimsical glance from his own portly figure to that of the slender am. bassador accompanied this answer, and the hussar felt himself not only par doned. but invited to share in the kings laugh.

The Drum of the Ear.

The reason deaf people cannot hear is that the drum of the ear Is lmper- feet or has been destroyed. Sound Is nothing but the vibrations of the air acting on the drum of the ear. When people are quite deaf 1t Is because the eardrum will not respond to these vi- brations. but they can still feel these vibrations even If they cannot hear them When a number of deaf mutes are sitting in q room together and one wishes to attract the attention of an- other he strikes his heel on the floor, and every one in the room feels the vibration and looks around to see who called. Tn the large asylums for the deaf and dumb the doors are hung very loosely. so that If you shake them 1t sets up a vibration like stamping on the floor. and that Is the way they wake up deaf people that sleep too late in the morning.
