Christmas for all good Christian menu
1t was an old carol, and Thomas JEFF
ferson had never given much thought
to the meaning of it before, but now
as he walked along with SO many good
things the little fellow felt SO grateful
that he longed to share his blessings
with some one less fortunate. The

Thomas Jefferson reached his cabin
without meeting any one.
The children crowded about him
eagerly, and all could hardly wait I'M

Thomas jefferson was most particular

THE RATES OF LAVA SPRINGS.


The impression is being circulated
broad cast that all patrons OF the
Lava Hot springs are subject TO
charge of twenty-five cents a bath

who have the states famous resort

state land commission early last
spring, held a meeting on the third
day of October last, in which they
outlined policy suitable to the pc
cular needs of the springs for main
characterization and order. In
this meeting they passed the follow
ing resolutions. go
THAT on and after October Is, a
registration book will be opened for
the purpose of recording the names
and addresses of all persons bathing

maintenance of the grounds and

"Of course there is a Santa Claus"
said Marian, coming to her rescue.
You see, Wilbur. it's just this way.
There is no doubt Of the love and care
that give such Joy to boys and girls
at this happy time-the love that graft
fies their dearest wishes and takes into
account all their efforts to do what is
right, even though the results often
look like failure.
1T reallyt doesn't matter by what

door. Don't bother your head about
me-" He turned his back and stalked
into the barn, carrying big basket
filled with holly, fir boughs and mis-
tletoe. Harold was to dress the Christ
mas tree and decorate the barn. for
the tree was too large for the house,
and the barn, which was well built,
had been fitted up with stoves.
Harold and Bert Fem put the last
touches to the decorations and the tree
Just as the supper bell rang the day
before Christmas. Dinner was early,
as some cousins were to come in the
evening and they had to be met at the
station four miles away. ~
The Bentons lived on the edge Of a
town at the foot of thickly wooded
mountain that sheltered many wild
animal and often human beings almost
as wild.
The cousins came and soon were
safely tucked away in the beds and on
the sofas that were not used by the
uncles and aunts, and all was quiet
Two persons were not asleep,
though. Sally was thinking: Il Won
der if Harold did lock the barn up we'll
with all our beautiful presents there.
Suppose some Of the woods tramps
should break in. oh, dear. ] wish
morning were here"
Harold also, rolled up on mattress
on the garrett floor, remembered that, al
though he had locked the large doors,
he had not thought about the little
door, and he could not remember
whether it was fastened.
Morning dawned bright and crisp.
Harold helped the gardener build the
fires in the stoves in the barn and then
waited impatiently for Uncle John,
who chad promised to act as Santa
Claus and who could not get there I'M
til the last moment The train arrived
without 2Uncler John, and the smaller
children were beginning to fret at the
delay. So it was finally decided that
they would have to do without Santa
Claus, for Uncle John had always tax
en- that part. and no one could be per-
suaded to take his place. :,
The candles were lighted, and the
family and guests trooped over to the
barn. Such cries of surprise and de
light there were when the big tree
stood before them in a blaze Of glory!
When the "ohs" and "ahs" had died
away a little. Harold started to make
an apology for the absence Of Santa.

some savory mess that cooked. So

from the table and returned with 1t
empty. Then he set about helping the
pudding. When one is very hungry
and has ones mouth set for turkey and
substantial good things, even delicious
plum pudding does not quite satisfy.
But Thomas Jefferson, remembering
the carol, tried to imagine that he felt
quite full. He did feel very glad to
have helped some one on this glad day
and so played with the new games all
afternoon with right good will.
But the amount Of corn bread and
bacon he devoured at supper time

CITY OF MEXICO, November
7.-(Special to The Advertiser)
The Mexican cabinet has decid-
ed to support Huerta and to pre-
pare for war against the United
States.
This decision was reached at a
session which lasted from Thurs
day afternoon until midnight.
When the meeting was over those
who attended it refused to divulge
what action had been taken, but
today the following information
was secured from a cabinet min
ister:
The request made by the Uni
ted States that Huerta resign was
fully discussed.
1t was recognized that his re-
fusal to abandon the Office would
result in intervention by the
American government.
The cabinet, nevertheless, decid
cd unanimously to support Huerta
in refusing to resign regardless of
consequences.
After a long consideration it
was decided to delay the final an
swer to the American government
as long as possible.
This delay will enable the Mex
lean administration to make more
complete preparations for war.
These are already under way.
The statement of the cabinet
minister is regarded in official cir
cles as a virtual declaration OF
war. News of the coming of Lind
from Vera Cruz is regarded as a
supreme effort by President Viii.

CITY OF MEXICO, November
Especial to The Advertiser)
Because of the hostility of Fuer-
ia toward any outside interior
ence, especially on the part of the
United States, members of the
American colony feared the pres
ence of Envoy Lind in this city
might hasten the rupture. Ac-
cordingly when the dispatch was
received from Vera Cruz today
saying that Lind had left that
city, ostensibly for the capital, a
number of citizens of the United
States began to prepare to leave.
The morning train carried o
number of Americans on their
way toward Vera Cruz where they
would be under the protection of
the United States warships. Some
caustic remarks were made by
newspapers supporting the Huer-
ia regime over the news that Lind
was coming.
1T will all depend upon Wash
ington when the storm is to
break, these papers declare.
Huerta is placing troops along
the railroad line of communica-
ton between this city and Vera
Cruz, but whether it is for pro.
lection of the railroad line or to
prevent the transportation OF
troops into the capital is moi
known.
