WILSON AND BRYAN

Agent Is Left to Cool Heels.

Having given up all hope, apparently,

FAs time passes with no further official

stronger that for the past few weeks the
Mexican government has again been
feeding the United States on BLUM, and
ttat the "assurances'' that Huerta
eould give In to all the demands # the
Omitted States were but empty pretenses
Of Little Value.
Unofficial information from Mexico
serves little purpose in clarifying the
atmosphere. The latest of these: that |
Huerta really intends resigning from
the presidency at an early date, is by |
no means reassuring. for with this news |
there IL no assurance that he will not !
enter the lists of the October elections, 1
af there are to be October elections and |
the fact that his election would bring /
this country no nearer a point OF recog-

On the other hand and because of the 1
failure Of the Mexican government UP

stops necessary before elections can be |
held, there 10 strong doubt In many !
quarters that there will be any elec-

WHERE NAME WAS COSTLY.
(chicago Tribune.)

People have not always been al
lowed the pleasure of having as many
names as they wish. Four hundred
years ago not even a middle name
was allowed in England. 1t was ille-
gal. The Old English law was definite
and admitted Of no infraction of its
ruling.
The only exception made to this
regulation was in the case of persons
of royal rank. If they wished the,
could boast a middle name, but woe
to the person Of ordinary rank who
was sufficiently unwise to insist on
having more than two applications.
For the first offense he would like
ly be tied to a whipping post and
severely dashed. For a second offense
he would endure some more lasting
punishment, perhaps the removal OF
his thumbs or his ears. And If he still
persisted in his stubbornness he would
be hanged.
There is a case on record Of a man
who insisted on signing four names
every time he wrote his signature. He
passed through all the legal stages OF
punishment until he was finally
hanged.
