VERA CRUZE. Mexico, Aug. 27.--
Via Galveston. John Lind, special
envoy from the United States, early
today remained In the Terminal hotel,
awaiting instructions. He was pre-
pared either to start back to Washing

City. He knew OF Foreign Minister
Gamboa's latest statement, construed
to mean that Mexico desires to re-
open negotiations. But General
Huerta had not asked Lind to return
nor had Washington indicated SO far
as could be known here what Lind's
next move would be- The envoy and
his wife arrived early last night. AL
most no attention was paid them by
the people and there we're no crowds
like those which greeted his arrival

Fletcher and the other naval officers
who met him at the depot, Lind ex-
planned that he was very tired and
asked that he be excused from what
ever entertainment or conference
might have been planned. He re.

Keep Children Off Streets
BY REV. DIR. C. Fl. PARKHURST

TTOW many Of the fathers and

children are and what they are do

10 o'clock?
I can tell them where some of
them are, and also, that unless APP
pearances are altogether deceptive,
they are going to the bad pretty
fast. The devil teaches night school
every evening on the street and in
the little shadoWy out-of- the-way
hooks and corners, and the poor
things are slipping away at an easy
but rapid rate from the innocence
and sweetness with which they
were born.
A child is a beautiful thing when
it first comes into the world but
like all things that are eXuuisiteIv
constructed it takes very little to
bruise it and to tarnish il. 1t is
easy to drop an inkspot on a sheet
of clean paper Nut not so easy 10

so much the fault of the children

review. At Paris flicker
show" a film representing surgeon
performing a serious operation was
being exhibited The surgeon ad-
vanced to the operating table, seal
pei in hand, his impassive face grim
and set. The only sign of emotion
was slight working Of the lips.
Suddenly the audience was star
tied by uproarious laughter from
the back half of the hall. 1t did
not cease until the operation was
over.
And then the mystery was eX-
planned The back part of the hall
was filled by a party of children
from an institute for the deaf They
were all adopts in lip-reading, and
to them the working of the sur
geon's lips was not sign of strong
emotion at all In fact, the actor
who played the surgeons part IN
the film had been chcerfully sing
ing to himself the chorus of an old
popular song. Were going To

LincOln's Gettysburg Address Was Deliver
ed Fifty Years Ago On November
l9. 1865.

The most famous speech in The
English Language.
-Four score and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth on this CONT
ment a new nation, conceivedin Liberty
and dedicated to the proposition that
all men are created equal. Now we
are engaged in a great civil war, test
ing whether that nation, or any nation
so conceived and so dedicated, can long
endure. We ere met on a great battle
field of that war. We have come to
dedicate portion of that field as a
final resting place for those who here
gave their lives that that nation might
live. 1t is altogether fitting and proper
that We should do this.
But in larger sense we cannot ded-
icate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot
hallow, this ground. The brave men, liv-
ing and dead, who struggled here have
it far above our poor power
to add or detract. The world will note
nor long long remember what We say
here, but it can never forget what they
did here. 1t is for US, the living, rather
to be dedicated here to the unfinished
work which they who fought here have
thus far so nobly advanced. 1t is rather
for US to be here dedicated to the great
task remaining before us-that from
these honored dead we take increased
devotion tc the cause for which they
gave the last full measure of devotion;
that We here highly resolve that these
dead shall not have died in vain; that
this nation, under God, shall have,
new birth of freedom, and that COVER
ment of the people, by the people, for
the people, shall not perish from the
earth.
