Mexico, on Outside,
Is Little Interested.

Mexico City, Aug. 27.-The Mexican
government is very silent on the mes
sage which the President of the Unit
ed States read before Congress, today,
outlining the situation in this republic
and the attitude of the United States
government. The minister of foreign
affairs, FREDERICK Gamboa, was. ad-
vised by private messages of the de-
livery and the contents of the mes
sage. He declared, this evening. tina.
the officials of the Mexican govern
ment had no comment to make.
we are authorizing" said the min
lister, "the publication of the original
notes exchanged. which, | understand,
are contained in President Wilson's
message, and the further publication
of the two supplementary notes, the
latest of which was sent to Mr.. Lind
at Vera Cruz, last night. These speak
for themselves. They are the only
comment we have to make"
1t was not until night that any
great number of the Mexican people
were aware of the character of Pres
ident Wilson's message. None of the
afternoon papers published any of it
the only account Of the proceedings
in the American Congress reaching the
city through private kilograms.
Government officials refrained from
commenting. In no quarter did the
message create great excitement as
the agents of the government. as well
of the press dispatches, had informed
Gen. Huerta and his official family as
TO what to expect.
Gen. Huerta was not at the pal
ace, this afternoon, and at his home
| it was said he had gone to Popola. a
suburb, where he is experimenting the
erection of dwelling. President Will
| sons announcement of his policy had
apparently not been of sufficient i'm
| portance to cause the Provisional
| President to forego his trip, and SIM
| liar routine characterized all the de-
4 partments of the government.
Mexico's counter reply has been wei
understood for several days, and Off
Gals join in declaring that the atti-
tude of the United States will cause
no change in the stand which Mexico
has taken. For days, rumors have been
Icurrent that Gen. Huerta would re-
sign or that he would at least accede
to Washingtons demands. A cabi-
net member. today. denied such q
theory as impossible.
AS proof of the progress already
made in this direction the department
lof war refers to the reports of fedora
victories in verious parts of the re-
public, and characterizes the stories o.
rebel successes as falsehoods. The ad
ministraton points to the success o.

Some Modem Aphorisns

The ideal man is just the man you
choose to idealize.
To divert a man, flirt with him:
to infatuate him, flirt with somebody
else.
A woman win love because she
2ities, man Will only pity because
re loves.
1t is sometimes difficult to tell why
ne average woman marries the man
she does, but it's usually because he
was the one that happened to ask
her.
One may know a lot about a wom-
an without knowing the woman her
self.
Love, like any other stimulant,
ceases to have that exhilarating eff
feet after it has become a steady diet.
Nowadays every woman has a mis-
sion, and one is content with sub
mission.

To have a talent for marrying and
to have a talent for marriage are
two totally different things.
Diamonds the the accentuation

Many men owe their success to

CAN NOT MARRY.
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
lam a girl of seventeen and am
deeply in love with a young man
two years my senior, and have
reason to think that he loves me.
Now. Miss Fairfax, there is a girl,
friend of mine, who happened
to go out with us a couple of
times, and she began to show at
tentions to him and to write let
ters to him. He told me about
them and it made me angry.
If | should meet her, how
should I treat her. for he told
me not to let her know that he
has shown me the letters?
Is there any wrong in marry
ing an uncle? Is it not too near a
relation, for this young man is
my uncle, and 1 love him dear
ly2 f. A. l..
You certainly can not marry you
uncle: it would be illegal. l advise
YOU to put him out of your mind a;
soon as possible. Treat the girl pc.
l.tely when you meet her. You have
no right to speak to her about hel
letters
