A FOOLISH PAIR.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
- A young man called on me
and while sitting in the parlor
holding his derby hat on my lap,
he dared me 10 crush II. So for
Joke I pushed IN the crown,
crushed II and handed It to him.
I have not seen him since. Do
YOU think I should send an apol-
Ogy? ANXIOUS
You DO not owe him an apology He
owes you one for making such a silly
dare.
However, his folly should not ex-
cuse you to yourself. and I hope you
will never be so foolish again.

Advice to the
Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
THERE is NO REMEDY.

THERE is NO REMEDY.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
- l am 90 and about feet 10.
l keep company occasionally with
a very pretty girl about my age,
Who is only feet tall Our ac-
SGaintances ridicule us, and by so
doing have hurt her feelings till
she has ceased to care for me and
has even refused me the privilege
Of calling on her love her very
much, A. D. F.
You can not reduce your height nor
may she increase hers, and If her re
gard for you is lessened by the sense
less jokes of alleged friends, It hadn't
a firm foundation in the beginning.
Tell her you love her. If she rejects
you because of matter of inches,
take your love elsewhere. Believe
me, true love takes no account of
stature.

is the way Forrest Cain felt about II.
While in his states Of intoxication the
only scheme to get square" that Cain
could evolve was that of walking up to

at last he cried for mercy But now
that he was perfectly sober he realized

Remembered Shack.

He recalled having built on his noun
tain property, three years back, a shack
which he had intended 10 use as head
quarters for hunting trips. but he had
never utilized II. IN fact he had never
visited his property for any purpose. He
resolved now 10 go to the mountains on
an alleged hunting trip, Visiting Deery's
office again, he was shown maps Of the
region and got the lay OF the land. He
examined the maps with interest, as
Deery unfolded his plan for turning the
whole section into commercial purposes.
The tract OF land Deery had mapped
out for his undertaking consisted OF the
Deery, Kelly and Cain properties. To-
gether they extended ten miles north and
south and thirteen miles east and west,
making a huge. section Of 100 square
miles The Deery property. the smallest

Mother Sensible.

OF a very sensible turn OF mind was
Mildred's mother She had not even
questioned Mildred on the happenings
on the bail field She knew her daugh-
ter would tell her in her own way.
And Mildred did tell her as she was
making ready to accompany her father
TO the mountains. This is what she had
said:
You know what did yesterday,
don't you, mother"
Yes, dear"
well, just couldn't help doing IT,
mother. When ! saw that poor man ~
ing there as though he was dead, q
feeling Of pity, or something like It,
came over me and felt. for Just that
minute, as though Gordon Kelly was
ms own brother. and ran TO him Just
ss though he was my own brother,
OF course, am sorry for all Of us that
it got IN the papers Do you feel hurt
because / did It, mother
mo, dear"
That was all that was said.
Feeling as she did toward Forrest
Cain. Mrs Deery did not propose TO tell
him where her daughter was, or how
long she would be absent. Cain threw
out one feeler. but ne quickly discovered
that Mrs. Deery did not care TO inform
him. so he did not refer to the subject
again. After half an hour Of conventional
talk he took his departure.
Deery spent a day in the mountains
with his surveyor and his superintendent
and then, making sure that Mildred was
comfortably settled and apparently en-
foing herself, he returned TO Atlanta.
cain called az his office soon after he
arrived, ostensibly 70 inquire II Deery
had made any progress in securing the
Kelly property IN the mountains. but in
reality 10 find out where Mildred was.
He secured his information, Mildred's
father looking upon Cain with consider
ably more favor than her mother did.
and laid his plans accordingly.

SUED FOR DAMAGES
HEIRS OF J. W. sTEINWINDER,
KILLED AT TEN MILE, BRING
SUIT FOR $4,000.

Tally & Mason, attorneys for Mrs
-. w .Steinwinder and her four small
children of Ten Mile, have today filed
suit in the Harrison county circuit
court against the Ten-Mile Lumber
company for $4,000 damages for the
death of j. w. Steinwinder, by the
explosion of a locomotive boiler on
November 10, 1912, which caused the
death of an entire train crew of four,
who were literally blown to pieces,
leaving not one to tell the tale.
The cause of action in the case is
based on the alleged fact that fully
one-third the stay bolts in the explod-
ed boiler were either broken in two or
badly fractured long before the acci-
| dent.
! Mr.. Steinwinder was the engineer
in charge of the engine and train al
the time of the boiler explosion, which
caused his death and the death o.
the negro crew. He was well-knowr

pose Of all his property and the family
will scatter in other parts of the world

in Europe. The first man Of the Ma

Emilio Madero made this statement
at his hotel here, where he was Joined
Thursday night by his wife.
Emilio Madero declared that neither
himself nor any of his brothers or
relatives would inaugurate a revolution
with revenge" as its object. It was
for the people of Mexico, he said, and
the constitutional governors such as
Carrapza of Coahuila and Maytorena
of Sonora to take steps to see that con-
stitutional government should prevail
and that murderers and assassins be
punished.

(By Associated Press.l

Mexico City, March Sit was an
nounced today that provisional Pres,-
dent Huerta was considering the ad-
visibility of making public the Off
cial correspondence of the closing days
of the Madero administration with the
object of showing the late President
tried to incite anti-American sentiment
throughout the republic.
Among the alleged orders given by
Madero during the last week of his
rule was one directing officers of the
Mexican gunboats lying at Vera Cruz
ito fire Immediately upon American
marines if an attempt is made to land
forces" from United States war yes
sells, paying no regard to the ex-
pressed purpose of American naval
commanders to merely protect foreign
ers."
1t is asserted that the official files
show that shortly before his capture
Madero, in desperation, telegraphed to
state governors throughout the repub-
lie, stating that American marines had
landed at Vera Cruz and this foreign
invasion demanded the loyalty Of all
Mexican citizens.

her back. She asserts that she will
never live with her husband again, and
that the eight days she and he were
away were eight days of tears to her.
