the policy until he submits his views
to the president and Bryan, the am
bassador characterized. as practicable
the proposals for mediation by an
American commission.
The ambassador said that he eX-
pected to return to Mexico City by
a steamer sailing Thursday.
Wilson described his treatment by
President Wilson and Secretary Bryan
hitherto as courteous in every respect
except the sending of agents to in
vestigate the conditions in Mexico
He severely criticizes William Bayard
Hale and Reginald Dalvalle, whom
he declared to be acting for the ad
ministration there.
The ambassador was vehement in
his criticism of the constitutionalists
and the Madero family THE Madero
family" he said, has maintained a
paid bureau in Washington to poison
the public minds. AS to the rebels,
there really are none except in Sonora
where there is an organized govern
ment. Elsewhere they are bandits"

one in Washington really understood
the Mexican situation and the charac-
teristics of the Latin people. The
ambassador will not confer with the

PREACHERS BREAD
CAST UPON WATERS
ETURNS-FATHER OF GIRL HE
AIDED LEAVES FORTUNE TO A
POOR MINISTER.

Chicago, July 26.-David S. X.
Byrne, a Pittsburg evangelist arrived
in Chicago today to establish his
identity under the terms of a will that
will make him rich man The leg
acy is given him because his prayer
in the rear of Chicago saloon six
years ago helped restore a waywarl
Baltimore girl to her family.
The girl told the evangelist her
name was Lucy Byrne and that her
father was well to do resident of
Baltimore.
The two had long talk. At its
close the girl assured the evangelist
that she would go home. A few
weeks later he received a letter from
her father, telling him of his graft
tude and stating his desire to support
the evangelist in his work. Help
other women as you have helped my
girl" wrote the father, "and I will
stand by you. And because | feel
so toward you, | ask that you change
your anne to Byrne."
Complying with the request, the
evangelist changed his name from
David S. Kidd to David s. X. Byrne
Lucy Byrne died few years after
her return to Baltimore. The evan
gelist continued to hear from the
father, and a few weeks ago he
learned that the father was dead.
Then he was informed that large
legacy had been left him out of the
Byrne estate and that he was to be
one of the executors of the will. He
was asked to prove his identity.
For the last few days, the evangel-
lst has been taking the dispositions
of friends who knew him when he
first met Lucy Byrne in Chicago.

URBAN HIGHWAY
DEN|SON TO DURANT
BOULEVARD EIGHTY FEET WIDE
LIGHTED WITH ELECTRICITY
is SUGGS' PLAN.

A boulevard eighty feet wide,
smooth as floor and illuminated the
entire distance with electric lights, is
to be built between Denison and
Durant, according to the present plans
of State Highway Commissioner Sid
ney Suggs of Oklahoma. Recently a
party of Denison automobile enthus
lasts including DR.. f. NJ. Teas, Carl
Davault, civil engineer, Frank Sproule
and w. NJ. Esler, met Mr.. Suggs at
Milburn and formally accepted that
portion of the state highway from
Milburn, which had undergone exten-
sive repairs. 1t was at this time that
Mr.. Suggs outlined his plan of build
ing a macadamized road from Den
ison to Oklahoma City with the aid of
800 state convicts.
Mr.. Suggs proposed to place 100
convicts in each of the five counties
between the Oklahoma line north of
Den.son and Oklahoma City. This
number of men, Mr.. Suggs figures
would be able under competent man
agement to complete a highway such
as is under consideration in a very
short time. Details OF the plans were
discussed by Mr.. Suggs and Carl Da-
vault, although there is nothing def
mite to give out at this time.
There is no doubt that the Denison
Automobile association would see that
there was a road built from Denison
to Red river to connect with the big
steel bridge which the Midland Bridge
company is erecting, ard the work
should be completed by the time the
Texas Power and Light company's
plant on the Oklahoma side is fin

TWO BROTHERS KILLED.
Royalty on journalism.

London, Eng, July 26,-iienri
Rochefort at one time drew larger
income from newspaper work than
any of his contemporaries. When La
Lanterne was started it was arranged
that he was to have a royalty on
the sales. He wrote the whole of the
paper amounting to about three col
umns. About 10000 copies were sold
out of the first number, and by the
time the fourth number was issued
that doubled. The result was that
Rochefort was soon making $1,000
week out of it, while it brought
each OF the directors $4,000 a year
for doing nothing but keeping him
up to the work
There has been no other instance
of a journalist getting so much money
for his work.

PLACES WHERE WOMEN DRESS
~ MEN. AND VICE VERSA.

Alpine Dairy Maids, At Their Work.

Females In the Extreme North

The Holly chieftain., 1913-03-28

There are places In the world
where women dress in mems clothing
and men don womsn's apparel.
Even In Paris there are women
dressed In cheap, coarse. masculine At
tire. working ~ teamsters and day
iaborers. While 1t is against the law.
the police wink At the fact and allow
them to earn pescsably their daily
wages.
In Persia, In some of the interior
parts. the women wear the strangest.
oldest trOuser garments. They seem
to like them. too. from the fact that
they cling to them in spite of all ef.
forts to make them don feminine At
tire.
Then there are the Alpine dairy
maids who dress As men when they
60 about their work and look pretty.
II We are inclined to take evidence
from the numbers Of men who yearly
persuade them to cast OF their mas
cuiine dress and put on more cling
ing costumes. But then their eyes are
SO bright and their cheeks 20 red that
they couldn't really look homely In
anything they might choose to wear.
Again. far in the north, where It IL
freezing cold most Of the time. and peo-
pie dress to be comfortable and not
to look pretty. the women are actual
ly forced into trousers to keep warm.
The ancient women warriors always
wore trousers. But their reasons were
half masculine in manner and appear
ance, and dressed to accentuate their
qualities. They had to make them
selves into fierce looking creatures to
terrify the men ON the opposing side.
and from all accounts they succeeded
admirably.
AS for the stronger sex. there still
seem to be men in existence who
wear women's garb and enjoy 1t. In
certain parts Of Greece, Spain. and
Albania there are bands Of desperate
brigands who. when they are decked
out for attacks on strangers or neigh
bors, look for all the world like grand
opera ballet girls. in their short,
brightly colored skirts. which are
made very full. ana sometimes even
ruined bit. They seem tremendous
ly proud of their attire. and rival
bands strive to surpass each other In
vividness Of patterns and newness Of
styles.
