Without the slightest sign Of excite

hall. Mr.. Lind has only one hand.
The other was lost early in life. His
good arm Is well muscled. and his
shoulder muscles are strong. without
a word Of alteration. Mr.. Lind an
nounced to the editor that he was 60
ing to punish him physically for the
insults he had heaped upon him. The
editor attempted to defend himself.

errors good arm and his adversary
was lying senseless on the floor of the
ball
In the few words of criticism Of MIR.
Lind's mission to Mexico there has
been no hint Of dissatisfaction with
the personal qualities of the man. 1t
is pointed out that Mr.. Linds mission
in Mexico may fail. but none have said
that 1t will fail because of his per.
sOnality. and it Is certain that 1t will
not fail because the presidents mes
senger talks too much. If it is to be
game of bluff Mr.. Lind is the man
who can play it.

President Wilson had a narrow es-
cape from being killed by a street car
at Washington last Saturday night.
The danger to the president was caus-
ed by his forgetting traffic regulations,
which forbid pedestrians from cross
ing the street except at corners. The
president was saved by a policeman,
who threw himself in front of the car.
The speeding electric car stopped
within ten feet of Mr.. Wilson. The po-
iiceman received warm thanks for his
promptness.

proved forceful in inducing President
Wilson to appoint him
Friends say that they have never

him show useless signs of anger.
