FROM THE MOUTHS or INFANTS
Dad Was No Coward, But Probably He
Was Discreet

With a glance of venom, and sigh
of despair, Mr.. H. laid aside his even
ing paper and mounted the staircase
whence the childish call came.
There's nothing to be afraid of in
the dark" he assured his daughter.
Aren't you 'fraid of dark" queried
the little maid, after a pause.
mo, of course not"
Aren't you 'fraid of COWS and thun-
der, dad?"
Certainly not, Margery."
Aren't you 'fraid of wasps and
black sweeps?"
"Of course not, you silly child" he
said, smiling.
Dad" came again the little voice
in the darkness. Aren't you fraid OF
nothin' in the world 'cept mamma?"

GEORGE is SOME DIPLOMAT.
Had the Right Answer Where Caught
In Difficult Situation.

George was caught mapping. A pair
Of soft little hands covered his eyes
and sweet voice commanded:
Guess who it is?"
Nothing dreadful for George in
this, you think, but then you don't
know that George had two sweet
hearts, and for the life of him
couldn't decide whose voice 1t was,
which made 1t an embarrassing sit
uation for him. A wrong guess would
lead to complications awful to think
of. But happy thought inspired
George, and he announced:
Its the dearest, sweetest little girl
in all the world"
"Oh, you lovely boy!" gurgled the
satisfied one as she removed her
hands.
And now George thinks of apply
ing for a diplomatic post, feeling that
his talents would be wasted in any
other field.

/ to relieve the South Carolina at

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.-Althougn
/ Washington recognizes the fact that
/ the address Of General Huerta al
/ Mexico City yesterday is distinctly
} meant for home consumption, officials
/ here are studying it TO find out
whether Huerta retains any hope thai
/ the negotiations with the United
/ States Government will eliminate
/ with success.
/ The message is belligerent toward
the United States in some respects,
/ and the only recognition Of American
/ policy running through It is the def
mite promise that elections will be
held next month throughout Mexico
Reports are current that SenOr
| ZamaCona has been in informal COM
munication with the State Depart
ment and that the negotiations have
| advanced since mis- coming here Sec
| retary Of State Bryan has refused to
| confirm or deny this.
American warships will remain in
Mexican waters indefinitely despite
any desire to the contrary announced
by President Huerta.
This was the opinion expressed by
State and Navy Department officials
to-day in commenting on the clause
in Huerta's message, in which he said
the period of six months for which
Mexico had invited" the American
battleships would expire next month.
The United States considers it is
entirely within its rights in keeping a
part-or all, if it desires-of Its feet
in Mexican waters.
History is full Of preCedents for
such action and Government officials
believe Huerta would not dare to re-
quest the withdrawal of the American
ships. because this country is en-
powered by international law to
maintain war vessels in any vicinity
| where Americans are believed to be
| in danger.
It is thought Huerta's move is a
| shrewd step to try to get rid OF the
American ships on o. before October
