But when Dahlen threw away the snake. and the Giants piled into the bus again, Matty was missing.

To Resume Neaotiations

MEXICO CITY, August 28-It is fully expected that resumption Of negotiations between the United States and Mexico will occur tomor- row on the return to the Mexican capital of Wilson's personal repre- sentative, John Lind. Lind is hurry ing back from Vera Cruz on the strength of Gamboa's note which he received this morning and according 10 the understanding the Mexican government is prepared to make some concession to the American demands.
 Americans resident at the capital are at d loss to know how to inter- pret the peremptory warning of Pre- sident Wilson to leave the republic. They are somewhat reassured by the declaration that armed intervention is not intended now and are wonder ing whether there is a hidden mean ing back of the latest warning.

Lind Goind Back.

VERA CRUZ, Aug. 28-John Lind. President Wilson's personal represen- tative made preparations this after noon to return to Mexico City. Col. Manuel NJ. Guasque brought a final message to Lind from Huerta as re suit of which the American envoy hast ened to make reply asking for a re- neWaI of negotiations at the capital.
 The contents of the message was not made public, but it is reported that General Huerta expressed willingness to meet Lind at least half way in the matter of the American proposals and without absolutely yielding.
 Other messages were received by Lind since he came to Vera Cruz and were answered. Members of his party express great qualification at the out come, but say the most important part of the work remains yet to be done.
 William Bayard Hale. another off ciaI agent sent here by MT. Wilson, will leave immediately for Washington to lay the situation before President Will son.
 Wilson's representative. John Lind, will remain in Vera Cruz for several days This announcement was made late tonight Only unexpected hap penings or a special request from the Mexican government will cause him to return
 The fact is now confirmed that Huerta notified Lind that his gov ernment was willing to renew the conference and that he is disposed to accept Wilson's terms in order to secure peace and future recognition of the Mexican government. Con servative Mexicans expressed them selves as hoping that Huerta will abide by this determination as they are anxious for the pacification of the country

WHEN THE LAST CHILD LEAVES.

For half your life you've labored with
 the children in your mind, a little step ahead. some
 times a mile behind, And many a night you've pondered on
 the whenceness of the how. But you did it. yep. you did it! raised
 'em one and all, and now LordIy. but it's lonely when the last
 child leaves; The year is at the autumn and the very
 weather grieves; The skies are gloomed and raining, The whipped trees are complaining And there's sobbng in the chimney and
 a weeping at the caves, For oh. it's lonely, lonely, when the
 last child leaves. here's good deal of that feeling
 when the baby went to school, Or the big boy went to work Gas inde-
 pendent as a muleD Or the girl went off to college, with a
 happy, hurried kiss. But always there were comings-back-
 It never was like this. So, oh. it's lonely lonely. when the last
 chld's left. The living room has suffered loss. the
 bedroom cries of theft. And eke the cheerful dining room Becomes a sad, repining room, For every room is lonely when the
 whole house is bereft. So, oh, it's lonely. lonely. when the
 last chld's left. You cannot change the universe, you
 wouldn't if you could; Your link is in the chain of life, and
 somehow that is good, But you were first to them so long in
 all their joys and cares, And now the last ones left you to re-
 membranes and prayers. So, oh. it's lonely. lonely when the
 last child's gone, Seems most like a waste of time just
 living on and on, With no one left to do for, To hustle for and stew for, And you know the dusk around you is
 the twilight, not the dawn, So. oh, it's lonely. lonely, when the
 last childs gone.

MOORE |S AFTER
 PATROL BOXES
Chief of Police is Working for an Improvement That Could Be Installed Joint ly With the Fire Alarm Stations

The time has come when Phoenix needs an up-tO-date police patrol call system and Chief of Police A J. Moore is going to turn Heaven and earth to get it. For a city the size of Phoenix the wonder is that the police have been able to do as effective work as has marked that department in the past without the use of such a needed adjunct.
 Just what such police call sys- tenn as Chief Moore has in mind would cost. has not been estimated, but the executive of the law and order department feels that no bet ter time for the installation of the boxes could be found than that when new fire alarm boxes are being placed about the city Working the two together the cost of the police call boxes would be materially reduc- ed, especially in the item of in StallatiOn.
 Today when a policeman in a re- mote part of town makes an arrest and requires the patrol wagon he is obliged to press some residence tele- phone into use In the night time it is some times a difficult matter to locate such a telephone and the officer attempting to secure such q telephone is always running the fisk of being mistaken for burglar or proWIer and to receive rough treat ment at the hands of the owner of the property.
 Then too the police in responding to calls from the police station must either hurry to the headquarters to receive orders or again seek a tele- phone nearby With patrol boxes at freouent intervals all this incOn- venicnce would be removed and the service materially bettered.
 For the safety of property and protection of the general public, Chief Moore feels that patrol boxes are necessity and he hopes to be able to show the common council that his contention is correct
