The quotation does not quite fit Mat
amoros, yet there are enough resemblan-
ces to Justify the introduction Of il here
There are no tower-capped hills near the
heroic city-nothing but the level coast
al plains stretching for miles in all dir
cctions. covered with green growing,
thorny shrubs. There are 10 blue waves
tapping the beaches to right and left
nothing but the tawny yellow waters of
the Rio Grande cncircling the city on
three sides.

Heroic City has honestly earned the

there was war in Mexico. II may be re

there was war between two parties. one
known as the CrinOlinOS-a name which
must have had some more or less obyl-
Gus meaning in those dayS.-cven Il little
bit suggestive in olr days The other
party was led by Jesus Lcrma, and were
known as the Roias party. What IS
chiefly remembered about them on this
side of the river is that the CrinalinoS
had yellow flag and their enemies q
red flag. An incident of this war was
very bloody battle fought, in the
streets and cnvirOns of Matamoros. The

The Same. But Different.

An artist relates that r. newly be-
trothed lover commissioned him to
paint a certain secluded nook in the
rocks on the shore. because there he
had declared his passion.
The picture was painted, but before
II was done the lover said to the
artist:
"Of course, I WIN see ynu through
on that picture. but my engagement
is off. and. naturally, # would be
painfully suggestive to me. II you
can sell It to somsbody else will
take another picture, and be extreme
ly obliged besides"
The painter assented TO the ar
rangement. but within q week hiS
patron presented himself
It's all right" he announced. It'll
take that picture"
Am I to cOngra tulate you on the
renewal Of your enga gementY' the
artist asked
The other seemed a little confused.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
! am 10 years old and l am in
love with a young man two years
my senior.
! have never allowed him to
kiss me, but he kissed me un-
awares the other night.
Should l drop him or grant his
pardon? KATH.
I am glad il was unawares. I don't
want you to kiss him until you are
engaged.
Forgive him, but don't grant him
pardon so lightly. He will feel free
to offend again.

The Manicure.
Lady
By WILLIAM ?. KIRK.

CEVT TnFRED is 4 lg With suf-
w fragette now" said the Man
icure Lady. He met her at
a lecture on poetry and other pastimes
the other night. and guess she must
be different from most of the suffra-
gettes that I have saw, because VIII
fred says she is a. queen and that shs
walks in beauty like the night. what
ever kind of way to walk that is. He
don't call her hair hair at an. he calls
it her tresses, and instead Of talking
about her swell lamps he says she has
limpid Orbs. 1 have had a lot of ad-
mirers. George, but none Of the gents
that ever shined up to ne called my eyes
orbs. That orb line OF talk might
have went IN the old days. but plain
talk and a good bankroll wins more of
us trusting girls nowadays
It's funny, George, how love win dr.
fer a man. The girl a fellow loves can
make him change his mind quicker than
he changes his tie. Wifred used to be
fierce against The suTragettes, He wrote
a battle hymn, he called II, for all the
men to sing, a kind OF a bark against
women even daring to think OF having
the sacred right of the ballot
Il guess he didn't get no men 10 sing
IT, but it was an awful panninR for the
girls that wanted TO vote. And the
time the suffragettss had their parade
through the city not very long ago, VII
fred ran along with the rest OF the cut
ups and roasted the walking women as
hard as he could. That was always
Wilfred's speed anyhow. and I told him
50 that night when he got home all tired
and hoarse. and the next time he asked
me for five and I turned him down fat.
We'll anyhow as I was saying. this
new girl Of his has got him shouting
for what she calls the cause, and he
and father had p regular row at tho
| table last night The old gent amt so
good n talker as Wiifred, but he had
something on brother because he kept
all the time throwing up to wilfred
how he used 10 knock the very cause
that he is plugging for now There
amt much comeback 10 that kind OF
arguments. and after a while wifred
shut up. The row all started over a
fool poem that wrfred wrote last
night called Vote. Fair Woman, Vote
I brought it down to read It to you"
You didn't have to do that" said
the Head Barber
but please listen, George implored
the Manicure Lady. "On tho level, this
| IS so bad it IS good Listen:
Vote. fair woman. votel
That right must not be denied to
you
Men try to trampie on thy throat.
And often they have lied to you.
From where the vast Pacific rolls
To where the Atlantic holds each
boat.

Vote. fair woman. vote;
Vote. fair woman votel
There is no reason why you
shouldn't,

And work for You. only couldn't y

But this I ever shall sing to you:

IBID he read that TO his new grip
asked the Head Barber.

her up this morning"

of murder, has been seen, and several
times he has been reported 10 have
