1t became known today that the pres
ident, in conference with the members
OF the house military committee yes
terday. had discouraged tie idea OF
making preparations for organizing a
volunteer army.
Secretary Bryan's request Tor an ap-
preparation of 100000 with which to
transport the destitute Americans
from Mexico in emergencies has deyel-
oped a feeling in official circles that
the American government would en-
deayor in any crisis in Mexico to re-
move Americans expeditiously from
the trouble zones.
With Americans out of Mexico. or at
any rate those parts where chaos may
develop, the United States government
would feel less responsibility for the
progress of events there.
Hope that the Mexico factions will
agree on a provisional president to
succeed Huerta still prevails in WASH

about the weather then? Or suppose

What if it is hotter than Tophet? 1t
is good day, a great day, a happy day.
It's what you think and feel about it
that makes each day what it is. You.
within yourself. can make each day
every day, good day. Put down in
the notebook of your soul the poet
Runeberg's thought:
Each day is life'
When you get up in the morning

breath. Meet the new day like a man.

OUR FEARLESS SAILORS.
An Incident of the Old Days Off the

and all hands were as pleased as if
they had just been granted a weeks
shore leave at New York.
Later in the day, when the wind had
moderated somewhat, we sighted a
large British bark hove to under short
canvas. She was flying distress sig
mails, so Captain l.. ordered the wheel
put up and ran down to have look at
her AS soon as our signals could be
clearly seen he asked what she want
ed, and the bark replied with a request
to stand by. Captain L. then ran up
flags demanding if the bark We're in
jured or anything wrong on board The
Britisher replied. again. "Stand by. Do

When the second mate read the
meaning of this signal out of the code
book a great laugh went up in our
cabin, and Captain l.. replied with

this weather" and hoisted the Ameri-
