TON, TEXAS.
FORCE Is READY FOR ACTION
Cavalry May Follow Brigade-Not Tc

.lutely Necessary,
However.

Washington, Feb. 24.-The fifth bri.
gade, second division, of the 20
ganiZed army, consisting OF four in
fantry regiments, commanded by Brig
adler General f.. A. Smith, has been
ordered to Galveston, Texas, to be in
readiness to embark for foreign serv-
ice.
There is no present purpose, Off
Gals say, Of diSpatching troops from
Galveston to Mexico. The order is
simply one of the steps taken to have
the troops ready for any emergency.
In fact, it is intimated that one of
the purposes is to provide President
Wilson with the proper facilities to
carry out any plan he may have III
contemplation regarding the Mexican
situation, but the movement does not
commit him in any way to a policy
of forcible intervention.
Regiments Affected.
The regiments affected by this or
der are the Fourth infantry, at Fort
Crook, Neb., and Fort Smelling, Mimi;
the Nineteenth at Fort Ieaveuworth,
Fort Meade, S. d., and Fort Sill,
Okla, and the Twenty-eighth infantry.
at Fort Smelling.
These troops were in movement
within a few hours, as nearly a week
ago the division commander, Major
General Carter, was instructed to
have them placed in position for i'm
mediate foreign service. All of the
railroad transportation facilities We're
arranged: wagons provided and the
soldiers were ready to entrain with
in an hour after they received the
order. 1t is calculated hat some Of
the troops viii begin to arrive in Gal
weston by today, and the entire bri-
eada should be ready to embark, if
necessary, on the army transports Xii
patrick, Sumner and McClelland, upon
the arrival of those vessels at Cal

What Execution Might Mean.

A summary execution of Madero, re-
garded as the constitutional president
Of Mexico, and his constitutional adj
~visers, without due process of law,
might possibly be interpreted as dem.
onstrating the absence of proper gov
eminent in Mexico and Of the exist
ence of q practical state of anarchy,
according TO some of the admlnistra-
ton officials. However, it was posi-
lively stated today that there We're no
present intention of utilizing the
armed forces Of the United States to
back up tie attitude OF President
Taff.s administration, but it will be
left TO President Woodrow Wilson and
his secretary Of state to determine
what shall be done. Meanwhile, the
outgoing administration regards it as
a duty to assemble a sufficient Mill
tary and naval force at the most on
~venient point Of embarkation, to be
available if the next administration
wishes to use it.

Trolley Lines are Killing Off the
Tortoises.

Now you would never imagine,
would you, that the various trolley
lines all over the country are gradual
~ killing off all the tortoises? But
they are, according to the statement
of a conductor who has worked Oh
suburban lines in many parts of the
country.
You see" he explained, the tor
toise is great traveller. AS soon IS
he comes to an obstruction in his path
his first thought is to dig a way under
it, instead of climbing over it. So
when he comes to the trolley tracks,
ballasted as they are with loose stones,
he proceeds to make his way under
the iron rails, pushing aside the stones
leisurely.
All too frequently, just about the
time he has gotten well under the rail,
along comes a car. The wheels press
the rails down and they, in turn,
smash his beautiful tortoises shell back
for him. leaving him to die a lingering
death. You may be surprised, but |

of them so killed in a single day on

In view of the recent decision in q
New York court declaring the smoke
ordinance of the board of health I'M
constitutional, the New York Medical
Record asks the question. Why make
laws against food adulteratfon, in the
consumption of which there is at least
some choice, when air adulteration Is
allowed to go unmolested?" High medi-
cal authorities have pointed out the i'll
effects of smoke-filled atmosphere up
on the mental, as well as the physical
health of the community. 1t has been
shown that catarrhal affections, with
their long train of sequelae, particular
ly tuberculosis, are increased. 1t has
been clearly shown that the chief bene-
fit resulting from vacation of two or
four weeks spent in the mountains, at
the lakes or on the seashore, where
there is an absence of the smoke and
dust of the city, is to clear the head
and lungs and make life worth living
until one gets all stuffed up again with
the deadly effluvium of civilization. 1t
is held that the general efficiency of a
community is appreciably lowered und-
er smoky conditions, and that the ex-
pense of the community in the increase
of disease and death far over balance
the Industrial gains that come from an
unrestricted output of dense, black
snroke.--I News

Children have been kidnapped, quite
true, and occasionally one hears of old
er ones either kidnapped, or gone
astray, but what seems to be about the
latest Is the taking of the form of a
lady such as is used in the windows of
dry goods stores. Recently some one
dressed very prettily one of the rosy
checked forms, with a costume such as
is used by automobile tourists, and
placing it in the middle of Water
street, lay in hiding to watch results.
Soon an automobile turned the corner
of Bridge and Water streets. Naturally,
seeing the form of one of the fairer
sex, the chauffeur blew his horn gent
~, to warn her of his approach. The
form failed to stir, the chauffeur and
the other occupants of the car then be-
came alarmed. not knowing whether
the supposed to-be woman was deaf
or simply hypnotized. The large car
drew alongside and for few minutes
no one ventured to speak. At last one
of the more bold said: Lady. would
you like q ride?" And still there came
no answer. At last they tumbled, and
too, the lady into the car. and drove
to Gardiner, later returning to this

so much confusion may now be seen

used for an ornament only.
