His Secret.

The secret of a certain great mans
power, 1t 10 said, was that If he gave
any one his time at all he gave him
for the moment the whole of it-all
his attention, interest and best
thought while the interview lasted. II
Is that sort OF giving OF ones whole
self to the matter In hand that con.
stitutes power. The divided mind
lacks force. the straying thought
weakens all mental processes. The
habit Of concentration is strength.

HEARD FROM
Story of Visit to Col. Ike
Harris Home
Denied.
GOOD TIME FOR THIEVES.
Best For Everybody to Sleep
With One Eye
Open.

Attempts to enter private resi-
dences in different parts of the city
have been reported So far as we
have learned there has been no loss
sustained, but there are unmistaka-
bic evidences that burglars have
been getting busy over town. At
one house an effort was made to en-
ter by cutting the screen from the
front door and the knife was found
1t is supposed the would-be thieves
had been frightened away by some
one D ssing.
1t was rumored yesterday that
burglars had visited the home of Col.
Ike Hart. 405 East Seventh street. A
member of the Colonel's family was
called up and Intercepted, but all
the information received was that if
any attempt had been made to enter
the home none of the family knew
anything of it.
We have heard of one or two 9th.
er attempts besides the ones men
toned, but have not been able tt
verify any of the rumors.
The hot nights we have been hav
ing for two months and more, wher
people have to sleep with their doors
and windows in the house open, thu
o1ly protection being the wire
screens. which can be cut out with 6
good knife in half a minute, is a gooC
time for burglars to make their
visits. along about 2 or 3 o'clock in
the morning. Some people have
been sleeping out under a tree in the
yard and others have rested part of
the night on the front porch, and
this ls all right with the burglar and
sneak thief who really prefers get
ting into the house through the back
door or window as they are not so
liable to be caught if chased out of
the house.
Everybody who sleeps out doors
should keep one eye open.

tuted by me.
In that contest | only asked for a
recount of the votes cast that we
may ascertain who had received q
majority in said primary election
and which of US is entitled to the
certificate of nomination and l
think Mr.. Smith understands it that
way and that he is perfectly willing
for a recount, as neither of us
wants the nomination unless we are
clearly entitled to same; but it is
next to impossible to make all the
people understand the matter, so |
have withdrawn my contest, leaving
him the nominee on the Democratic
ticket for County Attorney and |
hope all the Democrats will lay
aside their differences and work for
the success of the ticket this fall,

cordial support to the whole ticket
and will do all In my power to help

Ambassador Wilson Taken to
Task For His DiScOurteSy
To Great Britain.
U. S. MAKES FULL APOLOGY
Expresses Regrets to England
That Diplomat Guilty of Such
An Improperly.

washington, Aug. 10. - HreSlQenC
Wilson tonight publicly reprimanded
Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson for
his recent attack on British foreign
office. Ambassador Page was in
structed to express to Sir Edward
Grey the regret of the American
government that a diplomatic offic-
ial of the United States Should
have been guilty of such an impro-
priety."
The act of the administration
here followed receipt of cablegram
from Ambassador Page officially
confirming the Associated Press dis
patch, which had quoted a state
ment from the British government
that it had recognized the Huerta
regime in Mexico, along with
France and Germany after "a con-
gratulatory speech" to President
Huerta by Ambassador Wilson on
behalf of the diplomatic corps in
Mexico City. The official interpre-
tation of the message here was that
Great Britain at the time believed
from Ambassador Wilson's act that
the United States intended to recog-
nize the Huerta government. Am
bassador Wilson, in an authorized
interview, declared that if the state
ment really emanated from the
British foreign office, it was pure
. lbterfuge unworthy of the British
foreign Office" and lat variance
with its tradition and with the char
acter it has maintained before the
world for over two centuries"
Secretary Bryan's Cablegram
Secretary Bryan. after a confer
ence with the president, tonight
sent the following cablegram to
Ambassador Page:
"The interview given to the
press yesterday by Henry Lane
Wilson, whose resignation as
Ambassador to Mexico has been
accepted to take effect at the
end of his vacation, Oct. IA.
having been brought to the
presidents attention. he directs
me to ask you to call at the Brit
ish foreign office and say to Sir
Edward Grey that he disclaims
all responsibility for Mr.. Will
sons action in the matter and
for the language employed by
him in his interview, and that
he regrets exceedingly that a
diplomatic official in the employ
of this government should have
been guilty of such an impro-
priety."
Administration officials felt par
ticular solicitude about the possible
effect of Ambassador Wilson's re-
mark in Great Britain because at this
time the American government is
relying on the moral support of the
European powers in the effort to
suggest a peaceful ending to the
Mexican revolution.
Informal assurance has been re-
C lived by President Wilson that for
eign governments are disposed to
look with favor on the peace policy
being persued by the United States
and in turn u Washington Admin
istration intends to keep these gov
ernments fully advised of the steps
