PUT. A KINK IN HIS PLANS
Awful Contingency Youth Had Not
Foreseen In His Laying Out Of
the Future.

Eleven-year-old Tommy has quite
decided opinions as to the duties Of
fathers to their little boys. The other
day he was describing to his mother
the sort of father he intends to be
when he grows up.
"1'm going to be the best father to
my boys. I'm going to play marbles
with them and baseball and every.
thing they want me to and I'll give
them dimes most every day and tell
them they can buy all the ice cream
they want, and I'll get them each a
pony, and well, my boysll have lots
of fun"
Tommys mother with twinkle in
her eye said: But, Tommy, what II
you shouldn't have any little boys,
what II your children are all girls!"
Such a possibility never entered
Tommy's head. The suggestion was
appalling. A look of blank dismay
passed over the child's face.
"Gee that would be the dickens!"
he calculated.

American business Hustle.

Here is an instance of the thorough
ness with which England's CONNER
cial rivals do business. A leading
municipality in the far east is order
ing large quantity of electrical ma
terial, and the head of the department
concerned was authorized to visit Ger
many, Great Britain and the United
States to inspect plants. He crossed
to America first and found that the
American agent from the city from
which he came had notified every
manufacturer of his visit and his mis-
sion, with the result that when he
landed he received sheaf of letters
of invitation from manufacturers, and
of offers of hospitality. AS result,
he saw everything he wanted under
exceptionally favorable conditions,
and every courtesy was shown to him.
The German representative is doing
precisely the same, but nothing what.
ever has been done by or on behalf
of the British manufacturer. If the
representative wants to see anything
in this country he has to dig it>out for
himself, for nobody seems to care for
the business and nobody knows of it..

ELIMINATING Mr.. and Mrs.

A correspondent of the London
Daily Citizen suggests that the un.

should be eliminated from the super
scription of letters. The deprivation
of this prefix was one of the penalties
enforced in our American colonies
during the seventeenth century. The
records of Massachusetts show that
in 1850 Josias Plaistowe was con.
demned "for stealing four baskets OF
corn from the Indians, to return them
eight baskets again, to be fined e5,
and hereafter to be called Josias, not
Mr., as he used to be-" The Massa.

docking women of the prefix of Mrs,

Washington, Aug. 29.-Strong hope
prevailed in official circles tonight
that the Huerta government and the
United States would soon reach
peaceful solution of the revolutionary
disturbances in Mexico.
American officials expressed them
selves as pleased with the days de-
velopments. President Wilson re-
garded as hopeful the tone of the note
sent by FREDERICK Gamboa, Mexican
minister of financial affairs, in reply
to supplementary suggestions made by
John Lind before leaving Mexico City
for Vera Cruz last Monday. The
full text of the two communications
was received here, and while neither
side, according to the official interpre-
tation, yields any of the essential
points in its contentious, the method
of approaching the difficulties at hand
is admittedly more friendly and
framed with more regard for a prac-
teal solution. Officials found en-
courageemnt, too, in Mr.. Lind's de-
cision to return to the Mexican capt.
tai, as they had left it to his discre-
ton to go there, if there was a pros
pect Of renewing negotiations along
tangible lines.
Much interest was manifested in the
suggestion made by Lind that all
proposals be laid aside for the present
except that which asks Huerta not to
be candidate in the coming elections.
1t was learned that while President
Wilson knew the glst of Mr. Lind's
second proposals he was not acquaint-
ed until today with the text of the
communication in which Mr.. Lind
promised that if his last suggestions
were accepted, assurances would be
given American bankers of the moral
support OF the American government
for loan to rehabilitate the finances
of the present Mexican regime.
The white house view of the offer
of the loan was that should the pres
emit effort to bring about peace ap-
pear to be bearing fruit, it would be
incumbent upon the United States to
help Mexico straighren out her fin
ancial tangles.
The argument of Senior Gamboa that
Huerta, as provisional president Of
Mexico, was prohibited by the Next
can constitution from succeeding him
self and that the American contention
therefore was unnecessary was scruti-
nized closely and some officials point
out that no guarantee existed that
Huerta would not resign at some time
prior to the election and thereby make
himself eligible.
1t was suggested, too, that to accept
the citation of the Mexican constitu-
ton as sufficient restriction on
Huertas candidacy might be con-
strued as recognition of Huerta as
the constitutionally chosen ruler of
the southern republic.
