liNina In Poiaa.

To improve yourself. the first essen
tial is to prevent all waste OF energy
BY living in poise. The second essen
tial is to use your imagination In pic-
turing those things that you want to
accomplish now. And the most prac-
tical use that can be made of the i'm
agination Is to picture your talents and
faculties larger. greater and more
perfect. To imagine In mind a larger
and more perfect talent Is TO give the
creative forces in mind a better mod
el; and as these forces always create
after the fashion Of the latest model.
they will consequently create the lar
ger and the more perfect talent-Lar-
son.

The Rev. Charles Steele Davidson. who had trouble in 1900 with his ves- try in the Church of the Holy Apostles, Flatbush. N. r., where he was known as "the little minister" and whose pas toral activities elsewhere won him re- pute for doing things out of the ordi- nary, has taken spectacular leave of the Episcopal ministry by burning his vestments and prayer book at the gate of Monticello, the home of Jefferson.
 Mir. Davidson wrote out statement for the newspapers, which he passed around, renouncing the church as the haven of aristocracy" and proclaim ing himself preacher hereafter ''for the people" The statement contains charges against two Episcopal bishops in Virginia and then proceeds with reasons for the burned offering.

 8. Dixon, Victim, Was Investigating
 White Slave Cass-Left For Dead by
 Firing Squad. F
 Charles B. Dixon, United States i'm migration inspector, was shot while trying to escape from Mexican federal soldiers in Juarez. One bullet struck him in the foot and another passed through his body. The shooting has famed the flames of racial hatred on the border, and officials on the Ameri- can side are using every precaution to prevent and-Mexican riots.
 MT. Dixon went to Juarez in the dis charge of his regular duties He was detailed by tile chief of the immigra. ton bureau to investigate a white slave case involving a negro on the Juarez side. .z. sr.a .aa e
 At Juarez Mir. Dixon was arrested by a squad of federal soldiers of the command of Enrique Portillo. The squad was in command of a negro half breed. Mir. Dixon was not told why he was arrested, but was hurried away by the soldiers. #
 He feared that he would be put to death, and when he saw that they were leading him toward the place where the military executions are held he ripped one of the guards and started to run down a side street It kat %ho hoA Nal this route by encouragement and was the operation of the old Mexican ley feuga, sor law of flight by which a soldier is justified in shooting a man when he attempts to run.
 MT. Dixon succeeded in rounding the corner of an adobe house and was starting down an alley when the squad fired at him with high power Mauser rifles. He fell, and the firing squad left him for dead. Later some na- tive women found him and carried him into a house.
 "It looks like a serious case, and we will do whatever is necessary, said Secretary Bryan in commenting on the shooting of Dixon. The secre tary of state telegraphed to American Consul Edwards for an immediate in vestigation.
 MT. Bryan was at his office in the state department when he received 6 brief message from Consul Edwards advising him of the shooting. Hs also saw the press dispatches and manifested keen interest in the situa ton. President Wilson was advised of the incident, but made no comment

REBELS HAVE LARGE FORGE
Republics Vice President Declared Recently His Army Is Capable cf Dealing With sItustiou - Four of Southern Provinces Remain Loyal to Country. u&

The province of Human has seeded from the Picking government, accord ing to a consular report received 'nt Peking. The strength of the Human forces at present on the border of tbc province of Hopeh is variously report ed as amounting to from 1,5O0 to 5000 men. ."
 General Ii Yuen Heng, vice president of the republic, who is conducting op- erations in central China from wu- chang, declared recently that his forces were capable of dealing with the re- volt in both Kiangsi and Human, but late reports announce also the defcc- ton of a small body of troops on the Han river above wuchang.
 It is impossible to draw border line between the rebellious and the loyal provinces, for many cities in the rebel provinces declare themselves loyal, and some of the cities fin the loyal provinces have gone over to the rebels. IL is known, however, that important rebel forces are operating in the provinces of Kiangsu, Kiangsi Nganhwei. Hu- nan. Fukien and Kwangtung.
 Four of the southern provinces, Kweichow, Kwangsi. Yunnan and Che kiang, although surrounded by sc ceders, remain loyal, but Honan, in the north, is believed to be loyal only be cause of its geographical position
 In the meantime active hostilities continue on the borders of Mongolia and Tibet and also in the westernmort province of sinkiang. or Chinese Turk estan.
 All the troops have been withdrawn from the interior in the northern part of the province of Fukien and dis patched to re-enforce the revolutionary southern forces at Nanking and Wu- sung. Large numbers of volunteers for the southern army also are enroll ing at Annoy.
 The situation at Fuchau has caused great uneasiness at Annoy.
