Tho Old Dogs Lament.

When 1 was young, and life was gay,
I had a good comrade with which to
stay.
But now I am lonesome, and old and
gray.
When l went to swim
When the day got cool,
But Oh, the sad irony of fate,
I can only wait, and wait, and wait.
They brought him home on that
bright June day,
When the sunshine mellow around
him lay.
But did not know till the day was
fed,
That my little comrade was cold and
dead.
So I wait, and wait. and wait.

Esal EsAusn Of the subJeosion Of Wo.
man to Man.
Civilized man finds II difficult to
make his way through life without
dozen pockets. The ordinary walking
suit has fifteen. Civilized woman
makes her way through life without
pockets, depending on single bag
carried In the hand. The professional
humorists have never tired Of COM
menting on woman's pocketless condi-
ton, but It Is really no laughing mat
ter.
Here is a sex difference which Is
something more than fashion, which
goes to the very heart OF the subjec-
ton of woman to man. II we accept
Spencer's definition Of the evolution
airy process as consisting In progress
from an indefinite homegeneity to
definite heterogeneity the superior po-
sition Of man is at once established.
His fifteen diversified pockets, each al
located to a separate use-watch, cigar
case, pocketknife. purse, newspaper
and package Of garden seeds-need
only be contrasted with the single
reticule In which the female Of the spe-
cies stores away an unco-ordinated
mass Of handkerchiefs, toilet articles,
car fare, press clippings, telephone adj
dresses. dress goods samples, confec-
tionery, memoranda and tradesmen's
bills that have long been settled by
check.
Strong in his pockets. man walks
the earth free in the play of his upper
limbs, whereas woman sacrifices the
use of her right arm before venturing

sweeping over Mexico, and from
many states and from all classes, it
is announced, assurances Of allegi-
ance and offers Of service are being
received daily by President Huerta

Plans are being made for as large
q display as possible of military
strength on Sept. Is, independence
day, when 1t is proposed to hold a
big parade in which 10000 are ex,
pected to march.
The war department has been
called upon to furnish military in
structors to dozen cities where the
fear Of being impressed for service
agsinst the revolutionists has given
way before later patriotic ardor.
Thousands OF all ages are asking to
be drilled in the use of arms.

these shifts are made it will be sole
IL for the purpose of guarding
against rebel operations.
In addition to the students OF the
preparatory schools, where military
instruction has been enforced for

being taught workmen who are at

leo is receiving from the press of
France, Germany and Great Britain.
Followers of Gen. Felix Diax ex-
pect him to return to Mexico City
not later than Oct. 4 to push his

Gamboa said yesterday that no fur

Diaz was appointed. would be issued

THE MOTHER OF
MISSING GIRL
IS FRUSTRATED
Mrs. Chris Luka Suffers Nervous
Collapse Worrying for
Daughter.

Des Moines, Sept. 2.-Prostrated
over the absence OF her daughter,
Margaret, who mysteriously disap-
peared at the state fair grounds ten
days ago, Mrs. Chris Luka Of Clio
Southeast Sixth street is reported to
be in q critical condition at her
home. Ever since the disappearance
of her daughter, Mrs. Luka has been
on the verge Of nervous collapse
which came yesterday.
Scores of clues have been followed
by William Luka. the brother OF the
girl. and Sheriff Griffin and his dep
uties, but not a trace of her has
been found. The relatives as well
as the sheriff are confident that the
girl was kidnapped.
An attempt to get into communi-
cation with passengers on the Colfax
interurban car which left Des Moines
at 1905 O'Clock Saturday night,
Aug. 20. so far have been of no avail:
1t was reported that a girl whose
features were hidden by handker-
chief tied about her head was placed
aboard the car by two strange men
and taken to yColfax.
Sheriff Griffin has mailed post
cards, bearing picture and full de-
scription of the girl to every point
In Iowa and to many cities in Min
nesota, Illinois, Nebraska and Mis-
souri, with the hope of ascertaining
her whereabouts.
