A CHRISTMAS DREAM.

2 DREAMED a dream one Christmas
eve,
The strangest one, you may believe.
Il Twas Of world divinely fair
Beyond the blue, far off, somewhere.
There grief and tears were all unknown,
And love supreme reigned on the throne
All, such joyful, gladstone world,
Where sorrows bolts were never hurledl
Here faces gaunt with poverty
Deride the rich in mockery.
All equal there were each to each.
The best within a pauper's reach.
No surging, crushed, downtrodden masses: :
No proud. elite or clan made classes:
No seasoned joys for just a few
In this fair realm beyond the blue;
No stalking want with piteous voice:
No poor to feed. All had their choice
OF that which seemeth just and good.
All things were rightly understood.
No broken hearts or racking pain;
No avarcious. blood bought gain:
No grasping. grinding, selfish greed
That others welfare doth not heed
All things wese perfect as the love
That ruled this spotless world above
Were this sad world like to my dream
And love ruled all. its right supreme,
All, where the chance for kindly deeds?
Were there no poor to voice their needs,
" ere suCu state suDilHlely truet
Oh, where the good that we might do?
Were there no faces dewed with tears,
Where, then, the solace Of the years?
If this world knew no grief. no care,
Gould We our brothers burden share?
All, love would lose much of its worth
Were there no charity on earth!
Perhaps tits better as it is
Than live in realms of perfect bliss,
For out OF evil cometh good
When God Is rightly understood.
And since We live mid toll and care
And not In halcyon dreams somewhere
Uplift and help thy fellow man
And do the greatest good you can
To make this world like that above,
Controlled and swayed by Christly love.

was his last Madonna, although he
painted others prior to this time. The
Madonna was the favorite theme of
painters in the renaissance era in Italy,
starting with Fra Angelica, Fra Bar
tolommeO and others of the first paint
ers in this period and reaching its
height with the completion of the
Sistine Madonna by Raphael.
This Madonna was painted as an altar
piece for the church of San Sisto at
Piacenza In 1854 it was purchased by
the elector Augustus Ill. from the
Benedictine monastery and is now the
property of the Royal gallery at Dres-
den.
Raphael, the artist died of fever at
Rome when but thirty seven years old
He was the son of an artist and studied
at one time under Perugino. In 1904
Raphael went to live in Florence, where
most Of his Madonnas were painted
His fame rapidly spread until he was
called to Rome to decorate the Vatican.
Toward the end of his life, about the
time the Sistine Madonna was com
pleted, the artist developed his own
style and did his greatest work. Aside
from his ability to paint, Raphael was
a talented architect.

TO OFFER
AMERICANS REFUGE

The sending OF warships to Mexican
ports will be solely for the purpose OF
nordinG a refuge and L protection for
Americans who ray be endangered by
possible disorders arising out of the re-
volt.in the capital. 1t is definitely known
that President Taft will instruct any
American forces sent to the scene to be
discreet in their conduct. and avoid as
far as possible the necessity for the
landing OF armed forces on Mexican
soil
Officials last night were unable to
make any prediction as to the probable
effect the uphe&va' will have or the rest
Of the country. Whether II will bring
about at least a temporary Cessation of
disorders in ether parts of Mexico or
whether 1t will furnish additional incen-
tive to the leaders of the numerous ire
sponsible bands Of insurrectos and ma
RAIDERS they were unable to even guess.
The general opinion is. however, that
the upheaval in the capital will find its
counterpart In every section of Mexico
In an increase OF disorder. Should the
revolt at the capital prove triumphant,
1t Is believed that practically every fed
eral force throughout the rest of the re-
public will desert the established gov
ernment and go over TO the rebels.

NO INTERVENTION
UNDER TAFT REGIME

The uprising in Mexico City will not
result in intervention in Mexico during
the three weeks remaining of the Taft
administration. 1t was authoritatively
stated last night that President Tafts
policy of nonintervention will be main
tanned to the last hour of his occupancy
in the White House. He is determined
to make no move which would in any
way prevent his uccessor from deciding
upon a policy with regard to Mexico un-
ent administration.
It is likely, however. that warships will
be dispatched to the important Ports of
MeX'co on both the east and west coasts.
There is now only one American warship
in Mexican waters. the Denver, which
is at Acapulco. The entire Atlantic feet,
however. is at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba,
within easy striking distance OF the east
coast of Mexico. while Admiral Souther-
land has two cru sers, the Colorado and
the South Dakota, ready TO sail at short
notice from San Diego.
The gunboat Annapolis ordered to Gen.
trail American waters last week. may be
intercepted by wireless and directed to
proceed to Salina Cruz. or some other
port on the west coast of Mexico.
There is already a sufficient force OF
United States troops along the Mexican
border TO handle any situation which may
Rrise there, short Of an actual invasion
OF Mexican territory. Brig. Gen. E. T.
Steever, commanding at FL Paso, report
ed to Maj. Gen. Wood last night that it
was rumored there that Madero had been
deposed. but stated that he was unable
to confirm this report.

MEXICAN SITUATION
Is UP TO MR.. WILSON

In view of President Taft's conviction
that duty requires him to do his utmost
TO preserve the status quo with regard
to relations with Mexico, in order not
&c embarrass his successor the certainty
that President Wilson will have to make
an immediate decision with regard TO
Mexico was last night regarded as the
most interesting phase OF the new situa-
ton. II Mr.. Wilson comes into office
and finds Mexico without any goevrn-
ment, or with a provisional government
In control. II will be imperative for him
10 mako a prompt decision as to what
he is going 20 do about it.
Gov. Wilson has been quoted in the
last day or two as stating that he was
not informed as TO Latin-American af-
fairs. and consequently the interest in
what his course of action will be is
keener than ever. The general impression
is that he will come into office with his
feet braCed against taking any action
with regard TO Mexico. On the other
hand. he will instantly be subjected to
great pressure from members Of his
party, buth within and without Congress.
from the border States. who will demand
that the United States intervene
Democrats of the border States have
made no secret OF the fact that with the
inauguration OF President-elect Wilson
they hope to gain a recognition of their
demands upon tho Federal government
Tor more drastic course with regard to
Mexico. The border States not only wish
intervention, but confidently expect It to
take place within the near future. Prac-
tically every military man who has
studied the Mexican situation closely Is
OF the conviction that intervention in
Mexico cannot be escaped

UPHEAVAL CAUSES
NO SURPRISE HERE

The upheaval in Mexico City, when
reported in Washington last night, caused
no surprise In Official quarters. Dispatches
received at the State and War Depart
ments recently have pointed to a COL
lapse of the Madero government as i'm
pending. though 1t was expected that the
crash would come a, little later. As was
pointed cut in these dispatches a few
Gays ago. the entire republic is in a
greater state OF disorder than was gen.
eralIy realized in the United States.
AT the same time, the situation in
Congress was fast becoming critical.
owing to the fight on the Madero admin
istration, led in the Senate by Manuel
Calero, until January Ambassador to the
United States.
Dispatches received early yesterday
stated that Calero and his forces had
won their fight against the loan which
MaderO had asked.
1t is alleged that Calero really repre-
sents the forces OF the Cientificos. made
up of the elements which were in sympa-
thy with the administration and meth
DDS of Porfirio Diaz. Former Provision
al President de la Barra is said to be
aligned with this same group. Though
not now holding office, de la Barra has
never for one moment ceased to be a
factor in the political situation In Mex
leo City since Madero took office.
Gen. Bernard Reyes was in the same
group, and Gen. Felix Diaz. whose coup
d etat at Vera Cruz last October ended
in his Imprisonment, was also among
their number.
Ever since his resignation as ambas-
sador, Calero has been making a series
of attacks on the Madero administra-
tion. especially with reference to its pol
