Some inner monitor told Philip that

claim that this is a nation Of reading,

A Bit of News.

Philips face lit up with strange
light as this protest left his lips. The
meteor was his mothers bequest. She
gave it to I'm. and she would safe
guard IT. Had she failed hitherto? Was
not all London ringing with the news
OF his fortune. yet what man or woman
had discovered the whereabou OF this
treasure? In his pocket he felt the
great iron key OF No. Johnson's News,
and he was as certain now that his
hiding place was unknown as that his
mothers spirit was looking down on
him from heaven and directing his
every movement
The dealer, in spite Of his own great
lack ~ composure, saw the feeting
glimpse OF spirituality in the boys eyes.

In business he was noted for exceed

until Thursday afternoon.
The program includes a number Of
prominent speakers who have prepar-
ed papers and addresses on subjects

that they will appeal to everyone who
attends. Mr.. Devine has exercised
great care in the selection OF speakers
and has arranged it so that there will
be ample time for discussion Of each
subject taken up by the speakers. The
criticism is frequently made that the
number Of speakers prevents the farm
ers from taking the part that they
would like to take in discussion of the
various subjects. but Mr.. Deviue has
taken pains to see that this criticism
cannot be made of the Ninot
ton.

INDICATE UNION OF ACTION.

FL PaSo Tex, Feb. l. reDel
agents rejoicsd today in h receipt OF
two letters indicating a union Of &C.
ton between the dag revolt in the ma.
tional capital and the revolution in
the north.
One came from an agent at Mexico
City, who said that the Diaz element
was in sympathy with the Orozco
revolution, and for the northern
%lutionists at once to send delegates
to the national capital. In event Of
Madero's downfall. the letter said, q
congress would be held at Mexico City
Of delegates from all revolutionary
parties.
Another letter, signed by Pascual
Orozco. Jr., the missing. commander.
in-chief Of the, northern, revolution,
was made public II was directed to
General Inez 'Salazar,' acting leader,
offered to the Diaz' uprising, recon-
mending that all hostilities toward the
federal troops be abandoned unless
the rebel positions were contested.
Orozco is said to be located below
the New Mexico line, but. his exact
whereabouts were not made known.
That rebel activity is not altogether
passive. however. was evidenced today
when General E. z. Steever received
a report Of conf1scation of ammunition
near Presidio, Tex. United States
troops Of the border patrol seized
$4,000 cartridges hidden in an old
house near the border and evidently
destined for rebels at Ojinaga. Chi
huahua, just across the line.
Juarez. where the federal garrison
impatiently awaits developments at
Mexico City. is again cut of from all
communication with the interior.
Rebels who attempted to dynamite
today's arriving passenger train cut
the railway and commercial telegraph
wires not far below the border town.
The result Of the riots at Chihuahua
city is not known here, as attempts
have failed to secure communication
by indirect routes.
