From what source DO we get the idea
that pansies are embIems Of thought,
and from what is the following: "Pan-
sies-that's for thoughts?'
The English word pansy is corrup-
ton of the French pensee, thought,
from penser, to think. but that does
not account for the connection of the
flower with thoughts, which probably
is arbitrary or sentimental. Another
common name of the flower hearts
ease, seems to carry the idea of tran
quillity of mind or feeling. as if the
flower was suggestive of pleasant
thoughts. The English word pensive
has the same root. "And there is
pansies-that's for thought" is from
Hamlet. act 4. scene 5. Shakespeare
uses the word pansies once and hearts
ease two or three times. George Chap
man, contemporary poet with Shake
speare, has:
What flowers are these? The ransy this.
Oh, that's for lovers thoughts.

MEXICAN PRECEDENT.

| Huerta, acting president uI
Mexico, has rejected the tender of the
| good Offices Of the United States &
restore peace and order in that coun
| try. This recalls precedent IN the
/ relationship between the United States
and Mexico.
MaXimilian had been made emperor
OF Mexico through the aid of Napoleon
III, during the closing days of on:
civil war; and Juarcz had been driven
& the mountains, where he was viz
trally prisoner.
Without asking consent, the United
states sent an army into Mexico to
restore Juarez to his due authority,
and the end of Macmillan came soon.
1t is true the purpose of the Unitei
European power from this continent
and to maintain the Monroe doctrine
But it is altogether probable that #
the United States We're to order Huerta
ia submit the question of the preSi-
dency of the country to the voters Of
Mexico, to maintain an orderly and fair
election under the constitution of
Mexico, and were TO send an army into
Mexico to enforce the order a vast
number Of the people Of Mexico would
commend the deed, and the order
would be obeyed
The time has come for the United

Washington. DC. Oct. 13.-After a
conference between Secretary Bryan

nounced at the White house that tele-
grams had been dispatched to John
grams had been sent to John Lind
at Vera Cruz, and Charge O'Sha Ugh
sentations to the Huerta government
that the United States would look with
displeasure upon any injury to Mex
lean deputies now under arrest
1t has been left entirely to Lind's
discretion whether he shall return to
Mexico City and impress those views
on the Mexican authorities, bu.
L Shaughnessy is directed to address
himself to the minister of foreign re-
lations and make it plain that the
United States attaches the "gravest
Importance" to the arrest of deputies
and is keenly interested in what IS to
be their fate.
HOPE OF FAIR ELECTION GONE.
President Wilson told callers today
that with the present state of affairs
iO SOuiu hOl SSC uOW q
election could be held in Mexico. AS
far as the immediate policy of the
United States is concerned, it was
made plain by the president there
would be no departure frcm the orig

There was no plans today for an in

COURT PREPARES
SULzER VERDICT
Findings of Impeachment Body
at Albany May Be Made
Known Tomorrow.

Albany, y. Y, Oct, 13.-The court of
Impeachment convened at this after
noon to render a verdict of guilt or in
nocence on Governor Sulser.
A verdict in the impeachment trial
will not be reached before Tuesday,
was the general impression today. 1t
was rumored that Senator Abraham ].
Palmer of Milton, to whom Mrs. Sui
ger told her story after the governor
was impeached, would ask that the
case be reopened and the two be in
vited to testify. The senator denied,
however. that he had any suelsgiRten-
tion. He has iAsisted- sever4 tunes
since the trial started that the whole
truth of the governors transactions
had not been told.
Immured within the executive man.
sion, the governor silently awaits the
verdict of the court. 1t is impossible
for any one to see him. All of TODAY
he remained within the house with
Mrs. Sulzer and Patsy, his pet dog, as
his sole companions.
Opinions regarding the possible re.
suit Of the vote are greatly at vari.
ance. His friends say he is sure of at
least 20 votes-enough TO prevent his
removal. But those opposed to him
refuse TO concede him more than eight.

ties at the cave and before the char
acter of the wounds In the boys body
was ascertained. Lobjanosky added
that Yushinsky's uncle, Theodore Ne
tinsky, had visited cafe April !, 10
Gays after the crime, when he seemed
excited. His overcoat was splashed
With. clay. A boy gave evidence that

replied, and as dummy you had
been used and could be used again.
Hobson referred to a conference on
the tariff bill which struck out the
Pomerene amendment requiring full
revenue tax on brandies used in forti
flying wines. He charged that in agree
ing to that, Underwood consented to
let more than seven millions to rest
| in the pockets of the liquor interests
After explaining the. history of the
amendment, Underwood turned to an
swer Hobson's general charge which
brought in the name of Thomas For

and farmer of this place, was found
yesterday morning in a cornfield on
the outskirts of the town. He had

around where the body lay showed
signs of struggle.

a valuable clew TO the identity of the

site to the government for a federal
building on Saturday. He received
$4,000 for the property. Elated over

-obtnined the money ----s@
The murdered man was an eccentric
character. He seldom carried less
than $1,000 about with him and laugh.
ed at the apprehensions Of relatives
who had long predicted the fate he
met Saturday night.
He created furore recently by tear.
ing down the only house in this city
that had sheltered Abraham Lincoln
and selling the bricks to relic hunters
at astonishing prices.
Larry was SO years old and bach
elor. He was reputed to be worth be-
tween $4,000 and 100000.
