POSSIBLY TOO MUCH FOR HER
Man Should Have Recognized That
There Are Limits Even to
Fairy's Power.

Once upon a time a man who lived
out Bloomfield way did an unusual
service for fairy queen. l don't re-
member exactly what 1t was; perhaps
he stepped into a drift to let her pass.
At any rate she said to him in graft
tude:
Sir, for your kindness I will re-
ward you by granting you three wish
es. Name what you desire most in
all the world and it shall be yours"
The man who lived out Bloomfield
way thought a moment He ought
have lived out South Orange way or
down Elizabeth way or over Arlington
way. but it happened that he dwelt out
Bloomfield way, and as this Is true
story, must tell 1t exactly as 1t was
He thought moment, and then he
thought another moment, making two
moments all told, after which he said:
Il wish people would quit eating
peanuts in the street cars It gives
the cars such a vegetable air, and
besides. 1t Is very harmful for, as you
know. people should have cheerful sur
roundings at meals
On hearing this request the fairy
queen vanished in a fash of flame
with deafening report. and the next
time the man got aboard a car to 60
to his home out Bloomfield way, the
passengers were still eating peanuts
and the car had breath
This teaches us that fairies are not
all they aRs cracked up to be.--New-

COTTON PLANTERS WISH ID COOPERATE Desire to Assist Government to Better Handle and
 Market Crop

Washington, July 4-That the cotton planters of the south are anxious to CO., operate with the department of agriculture in the efforts of the government to intro duce better methods of handling and mar keting cotton Is the report brought to Secretary Wilson by Charles J. Brand and w. A sherman. who have just returned from an extended reconnoiter through the south and southwest.
 'The great weakness of the cotton growing interests" said Mir. Brand, lis their lack of organization in units of suf- ficient size to enable them to furnish even running bales in commercial quantities.
 ''it is hoped to overcome this difficulty through the organization of cotton grow CTS associations. all of whose members will grow a uniform variety of cotton which Investigations of the department have shown best adapted to their condi- ton.
 'trhe department contemplates actual demonstrations in handling and marketing in the most direct manner practicable
 The New England and southern spin ming interests have expressed their inter- est in the new work. In the imperial vale ley in California. where cotton has been grown commercially only for three years. the growers already have organized. Sim liar organizations are getting together ia ether states.''

Rebels Withdraw Under Cover of Darkness-Orozco Attributes De- feat to Lack of Ammunition.
 Huerta Continues North

Chihuahua, Mexico, July 4.-The reb- els who had occupied Chihuahua for nearly five months as their capital and base, evacuated tonight in the face of a rapidly moving column of federal cavalry in vanguard of General Huerta' 5 army, which drove the rebels from Bar chinaba, 40 miles south of here, today.
 General Orozco Is tonight at Sauz, 30 miles north of here while the main columns of rebels are encamped at Mon tezun1a, only 114 miles from the Ameri- can border. All day long the rebels retreated. Chihuahua with its nervous colony of foreigners was left untouched by the rebels. Troop trains were sent through at full speed by General Orozco to prevent footing and disorder
 Preparations were made tonight by the rebels to isolate Chihuahua. All bridges were destroyed south of here during the day. Tho work of tearing up the Mexican Central railroad was de- tailed to dynamite crews. which left here with the last of the rebel forces. This dispatch evidently will be the last message sent before the rebels cut Chi huahua off from telegraphic communi- cation.
 All rebel officials left on the last train. The foreigners remain in the houses, raising flags of all nations. The rebels will try to mobilize opposite Fl Paso, a strategic entrance to the state of Sonora. General Orozco today ad- mitted that lack of ammunition and su- perior federal artillery made it futile to attempt to hold Bachimba. He has dis tributed his forces In several directions, but the mobilization point will he close to the American border, If there is one.
 Rebel officers say 1t will be guerilla warfare from now on.
 There Is no question about the ap- parent disorganization of the rebels, but it is probable the invasion of Sonora will mean a serious problem for the government as the region is mountain ous and impossible to artillery and troop trains.
 General Orozco ordered all saloons here closed. It may be three days before the federals can repair the bridges and enter the city. Meantime General Orozco will have a garrison kept here to preserve order.
 Jaurez will be the rebel capital here after Rebel Governor Fleher Gueltir- reg. and members of ther evolutionary legislature were expected to move in to- day.
 It Is now confirmed that Juarez and Casas Grandes will receive the bulk of the rebel troops and that a de- termined stand will be made to hold JuareZ

Mines in Chihuahua

Fl Paso. Tex. July 4.-Information was received tonight that hundreds of dynamite mines are buried in streets and houses in Chihuahua in prepara- tion of the entry of federals. They have been laid where they will explode on the slightest contact.
 Americans and foreigners who know of the explosives intended to remain within their houses until the arrival of General Huerta, who has been apprised by spies of the spots where the mines are said to be concealed.
 The defeat of the rebels at Bachimba and their movement toward the Ameri- can border today created q stir in army circles here.
 The American border patrol was spread along the International line pre- pared for emergencies. The general opinion is that there will be no inter national complications at Juarez. It Is believed that the rebels will establish a temporary capital there but soon will move on to Casas Grandes and Sonora
