Swigsby came downstairs to a Ao o'clock breakfast with a vacant coun- tenance and backward tendency in his hair that made his eyes ache. He sat down at the table and, picking up his fork, glared in uneasy wonder at something on the plate before him. It had evidently been fried and was in tended for food.
 Swigsby harpooned it with his fork and lifted it bodily. gazing at it with increasing wonder.

That immunity of mules from harsh treat ment is an interesting question Why are they immune? There are plenty of mules. even in Philadelphia. Does nobody beat them? Does nobody un- derfeed them? If not. why not? Does a mule show such a decided ability to take care of himself that his owner is afraid to abuse him. or do men beat mules and starve them and escape punishment because the persons who witness the beating and starving think it is only mule and not worth both ering about? What is the explanation of that phase of the mule question. anyhow?"-Philadelphia Ledger.

GROWTH OF ANARCHY

Washington. Dec. 31.-President Taft upon returning to the White House today requested to be inform ed of the present situation in Mexico SO that he might consider what ac- tion is best to take in pursuance of his ultimatum which he prepared and sent to President, Madero previous to his departure for Panama on De- cember 19.
 Acting Secretary of State Adee SUD- piled the chief executive with copies of all diplomatic and consular dis patches from south of the Rio Grande received within the past two weeks, almost all of which showed con- tinued growth of anarchy in the southern republic and a lack of in- terest by the federal government about the outrages on foreigners. ',
 Today's reports from Durango chronicled series of deeds by rebels in the vicinity of that city in which number of foreign ranchers were fir- ed and razed and the inhabitants were forced to flee for shelter. Du- rango is completely isolated from railroad communication and practi- cally so from telegraph news. Many bridges have been burned on the way to Torreon and it will be very diffi- cult to import federal troops to main- tain order in this section. The sit uation is said to be- beyond the con- trol of the present garrison at Du- rango and the rebels are constantly approaching near the city. Refugees from the outlying districts relate pitiful stories about their rigor and suffering.

A Difference Of Opinion.

At an early hour the next morning,
Sweetwater stood before the coroner's
desk. urging a plea he feared to hear
refused. He wished to be present at
the interview soon to be held with Mr..
Brotherson, and he had no good rea.
son to advance why such O privilege
should be allotted him.
The coroner. who had had some
little experience with this man, sur.
veyed him with smile less forbid.
ding than the poor fellow expected.
"You seem to lay great store by IT,"
said he; III you want to sort those
papers over there. you may"
Thank you. don't understand the
Job. but promise you not to increase
the confusion. II I do; II ! rattle the
leaves too loudly. It will mean, Press
him further on this exact point but
! doubt II rattle them. sir. No such

The last three words were uttered
soto vooe. but the coroper heard him.
and followed his ungainly figure with

tied himself at the desk on the other

And with a bound he vaulted
through the window. whistling in q

alone. had the pleasure Of seeing his

in with them through the door which
had finally been opened for their ad-
