ANCHO VILLA was UnOfficially

the recognition of the CONSTITUTIONAL
lists and that they be allowed TO get
arms and ammunition through UnlJed
States pOrts is growing, but If you
continue executing federal soldiers
who were taken as prisoners OF war
it cannot help but create a bad impress
sion against your cause ana may pre-
vent your recognition at Washington

Villa declined to say whether ne IN
tended to continue the execution OF
his prisoners or make any further com
ment on the subject
SAYS " Oul0 oppose intervention
He questioned the senator about the
possibilities of Intervention by the
United States. Senator CatrOn told him
that the presidents policy was very
much against Intervention, and that
intervention would only be undertaken,
if it was eventually found that nothing
else could be done
Villa remarked that Intervention by
the United States would be very eX-
pensive proposition for this country
and that he was greatly opposed TO
Intervention
Senator Catron replied: IF our gov
eminent finds intervention necessary
neither the cost nor any other reason
will prevent US from Intervening
Villa Wants TO Restore Peace.
In reply to a further remOnStrance
from the senator to Cen Villa against

Senator CatrOn's visit was strictly
unofficial. The senator said he knew
to Washington about the situation IN
Juarez and Cen Villas attitude and
desired the interview with villa SIM

personal initiative" said the senator

Prospects that the embargo O. arms
will be lifted, "ConstitUtiOnaIists' say,
is much brighter, and they are pre-
pared to buy a large supply of arms
and ammunition to be shipped to the

President Wilson and secretary Bry-
an still hope, though, that Huerta will
come to terms. It is likely that the
American government viii wait a few
days for the effect Of foreign pressure
before making any decisive move for
ward in its policy
The warning which has been given
to British subjects to move out of in
accessible towns was regarded by many
cOnversant with the situation, as likely
to impress Euerta that a drastic policy
against him might be in prospect
The continued success of the Con
stitutionalists'' in the field, the plan
of financially starving the Huerta re-
gime out and pressure by foreign gov
ernments are the factors which the
Washington government believes inev-
itably will force Huerta out of power.

In the same Quartet lay the bodies
Of Col Enrique POrtiIlo and Lieut.

The Good Tango Dancer Is the One
Who Constantly Tries New Figures

In point of fact the half arch is one
Of the easiest poses in the entire range
Of Tango dancing It requires neat
ness of step and a certain bodily grace,
but so do all other dances I have
seen fairly good dancers succeed with
the half arch at the first attempt so
Wen that it almost seemed that they
had invented the pose
The start of the half arch comes
when the partners are in ordinary po-
sitiOn, the man at the left OF the
woman. Beginning on the strong beat
of the music, the masculine dancer
steps with a glide slightly in advance
the woman adapting her step in &C

had all been purchased a short time
ago by the federals from an FL PasO
merchant and had been stored away for

No Pay For Soldiers.
No money was handed out to the
men and there seemed but little COM

the double turn, a figure of abundant
possibilities that will supply plenty to
do for the dancers before It is mas
tered. This figure may be commenced
with the partners in regulation or re-
versed positions, and this gives to II
an elasticity altogether desirable.
Presuming that the dancers are now
in reversed position, the man shifts
his left arm and hand from the waist
of the woman and grasps ner left hand
with his. At the same moment ne
raises his right arm with his partners
left, as illustrated in Figure 3. Each
dancer preparatory to the turn of two
complete revolutions carries the
weight Of the body on the right leg
with the left foot pointed IN readiness
for the steps to come.

because Of diffidence. They see q

And until one has actually attempted
a figure or step it does not wholly ap-

There is great difference be-
tween the adult mind and the mind
of a growing child. The illiterate
man, though he has received i'm
pressions from daily contact with
other men and gained some know l.
edge from personal g. perience, has
enjoyed no light from The realms OF
of literature. and frequently holds
book learning in contempt. This
egotism makes quiet difficult the
task of instruction, on the contrary
the mind of child is full of fancies
and imaginative tendencies, that
give aid to the teachers work.

ton. Books that were complied K

brightest pupils, for this discourages
those who most need the teachers
help. The old saying that you can
lead horse to water but cannot
make the animal drink, can be APP
piled to teaching and the teacher
should remember that-you can
make man 60 to school but you
cannot make him learn, but the
teacher can, by using tact and pa
thence, gain the confidence of the
pupil and help him try to master
the difficulties of the lesson. When
the illiterate has started to make
progress he needs little encourage
ment, for he becomes ambitious to
explore the fields vi knowledge
his pioneer efforts have guided him
to.
Pedantry, easily acquired but
hard to overcome, often receives a
rude shock in actual school work.
To illustrate; the writer was in
structing class in geography and
the men had shown great interest
in the study. To show the contour
of the globe the writer had drawn
| circle upon the blackboard. After
considerable explanation the teacher
thought he had made his lesson
clear to the class, and asked if any
one had any questions to ask upon
the lsubject. (The teacher firmly
believed he could answer any and
all questions). One scholar said:
Teacher, you say and the book
/ says that this here world we live on
is round just like ball" That is
the idea.' replied the teacher.
Then tell me' said the scholar, If
there is more water than land on
this here world what keeps the
water from just naturally drop
ping clean off the world when it
gets to the bottom side?"
4 This rather nonplussed the teacher
| for he had only the time honored
reply to give: why, the force of
gravity" What is the force of grav-
ity. teacher; seems that it is some
thing mighty POWERFUL" said the
scholar. The writer has always be-
lieved that his scholars thought the
class had put one over on him. at
any rate he never went Beyond his
class again after that one expert
ence.
Men, and especially those who
have done hard work with their
hands, do not acquire great pro-
ficiency in penmanship, and illiterate
men who are learning to. read and
write usually make slow progress in
writing. There is no remedy for
this as writing is but a physical
performance, and it is not to be ex-
pected that men learning this art
q after maturity will become very
, dexterious.
