Tells Of Conditions.
Washington, d. c., July 28.-Ambas-
sador Wilson Immediately after his
conference with President Wilson
said
The discussion related entirely to
the facts Of the situation in Mexico
and not at all to any question Of gov,
ernmental policy. All views relative to
the situation have been placed in the
hands OF the president for his con-
sideration."
Secretary Bryan was not present.
Ambassador Wilson said he expected
to leave Washington tonight to be-
awav several days.
He would not discuss the possibility
Of his return to Mexico in his official
capacity. His departure at this time
seems to indicate that he will not ap-
pear before the senate foreign rela-
tions committee,

UNCLE TOM

He hoped his mother would forget
about taking him; but, when she call
ed him to go with her, he thought
he would rather go than tell her about
it.
Perhaps that man won't remember
me-" he said to himself.
Mrs, Lee was glad to see johnny s
mother and they sat on the piazza
and talked, Before long Mrs. Lee said
to Johnny:
Don't you want some grapes, dear ?
Help yourself and l must give you a
basket. so you can take some home "
johnny did not care half so much
for the grapes as. he had the other
day, but he picked a bunch and sat
down on the step to eat it.
who's that? Who's that? Go
way, go way! Quit, quit
1t was the same dreadful voice.
Johnny dropped his grapes and look
ed around in terror.
There's that noisy Uncle Tom. 3"
said Mrs. Lee, laughing. DO you
want to come and see him?"
What's the matter? Quit. quit,
quit" screamed the voice. Johnny
did not want 10 see Uncle Tom, and
did not offer to 90 to him.
Never mind, he's coming" said
Mrs. Lee. He. sits around there in
the piazza all day sometimes. Come
along, Uncle Tom"
Johnny felt very much like running
away, Here was the person who had
seen him just on the point of taking
something which was not his own.
The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1913-03-16

TN coming, I'm coming" said the
harsh voice. Johnny waited for him
with a sinking heart. If Uncle Tom
was as dreadful as his voice. what a
dreadful old man he must be, He
would probably tell his mother and
Mrs, Lee all about what he had seen
the other day
who's that Who's that ." cried
Uncle Tom, as he came from the side
piazza
lie was very. small, not SO high as
Johnny's knees He wore a coat of
bright green, with. little dabs of red
near the tails, and bit of red cap
on his head
Il m coming I'm coming. Who's
that2 who's that" he cried. as he
solemnly strutted toward them.
Johnny stared for n moment. and
then laughed and laughed till Mrs.
Lee and his mother laughed with him.
Then Mrs. Lee brought 81 cracker and
gave 1t to him to feed Uncle Tom
and they became fast friends Tom
sang yankee Doodle" and Captain
Jinks' for him, and talked all the
words he knew.
Johnny told his mother afterward
how near he had come to taking the
grapes, concluding with:
Il tell you what, mamma. I'm glad
enough that Tom stopped me just in
time. And [ tell you" JOHNNY
ClenGhed his fists and shock his head
with a determined look. I'm never
going to do a thing again that'H make
me afraid to go whore I'll see an old
parTOt-Or anybody else"

FIRE AND WIND

In pretty japanese town lived a
grew up each one brought his wife to
live in his fathers house, and they
were all happy together.
After a while the little Japanese
wives became homesick and asked
their father-in-law If they could not
visit their own people, At first he re-
fused but after some months the
wives became listless and sad and his
heart relented. He told them they
could go, but said to himself: They
care naught for me, else they would
not wish to go. But I have plan
that will surely prove whether they
care for me-"
To the elder he said; 60, but never
come back unless you bring fire wrap
ped in paper"
To the younger he said: Go, but
never come back unless you bring
wind in paper.
Now" thought the old man, II
shall find out. If they care for me,
they will search the country till they
find paper that will hold both fire and
wind"
The wives departed For a month
they were so happy that they forgot
all about the gifts they were to carry
home. AT last, greatly troubled. they
asked different wise men where they
could obtain what their father-in-law
had requested OF them.
Paper that will hold fire and wind,
There is no such paper in all Japan. ="
Everyone gave the same answer, and
the wives were very sad, fearing they
would never again see their home. or
their husbands, or their father-in law.
