FIVE-DAY ARMISTICE
FOR LEADER OF REBELS
Gen. Salazar's Statement Is Discred-
tied by Federal Officials at Ell
Paso-Quiet Along Border.

Ell PASO. Texas. January 2o.-The
rebel general. Inez Salazar, declared to-
day that yesterday he received offers of
a. five-day armistice and agreed to the
terms He said the message came from
President Madero by way of the Mexican
consul at Ell Paso. who transmitted it by
messenger to Guadalupe. at which point
on the Texas border Salazar is located
with 400 men.
Yet federal officials declare that no ar
mistice exists, as such would be par
tial recognition of the revolution. A
party Of Mexicans which left Ell Paso to-
day in the guise of peace commissioners
arrived opposite Guadalupe. but declined
to cross the line. They are said to be
unauthorized by either rebels or federals.
Americans returning from Salazar's camp,
however, were, told by the rebel general
that an armistice was in effect.
AS far as is known here no authorized
peace negotiations have been begun.
First Passenger for Week.
A troop train bearing 400 men left
Juarez today with the first passenger
train to be sent out in more than week
over the Mexican Central railway. which
remains open to Chihuahua City, but
closed below Jimenez. This left Juarez
with only the 300 troops of the original
garrison.
The movement of troops out of Juarez
is considered by rebels here as a VIOLA
ton of the armistice, and messenger
was dispatched late today in an autOmO-
bile to warn the rebel commander. All is
reported quiet along the border and be-
low this point.

YOUR MIND ON YOUR WORK |
Man Who Makes Good Is One Who
Can Shut Out of Mind All but
One Thing.

The man who makes good is the
man who can shut out of his mind all
but one thing. An unsuccessful prin-
cipal of a school once said that every
teacher ought to be able to do three
things at once. OF course, he was
wrong. The teacher who does one
thing at time and does 1t well Is
giving the pupil the best possible OBJ
ject lesson in concentration. We
have to learn to think clearly amid
distracting noises, to go forward on
strait and narrow way without diver
sions and excursions that waste our
time and our substance, and to keep
at work regardless of the tired" feel
ing, the spring feeling, and whether
the fishing Is good or not When the
soft breeze comes in at the window
we stiffen the moral fiber against its
allurement. We must pin our atten-
tion firmly to the turgid and dry
geometry of legal brief. or the SER
ried figures of the daybook, or the
busy system of a mercantile establish
ment. and let every other thought
await its turn at the end OF office

Poor Charities.

There are charity societies. as all
the world knows, that only give to the
poor quarter or half cent of every
dollar they take in, most OF their sub
scriptions going for salaries to Off
GERS and investigators for expensive
rentals, etc.
Richard March, the charity expert
of Denver. Colo, was condemning
these charities. He said:
"A mans wife shouted up TO him
the other day:
Don't you think this blue over
coat with the strapped-in back is too
new and fashionable, George, to give
away?'
Its the agent of the Alpha Incor
porated Charities that's at the door,
isn't it?'
"'Yes, dear
Then let the coat go, said George.
It'll be old enough and old-fashioned
enough before it gets to the poor dub
that is shivering for it now"
