MANDATE SEEN IN DEMAND.
Mexican Dictator's Friends Say He
Must Quit Office or Invite War.

Mexico City, Nov. 5. The under
current of conversation at the national
palace carried rumors regarding Pres
ident Huerta's attitude in the face of
Washngton's demands that he retire
but the President himself preserved
silence.
Huerta's intimates are familiar with
the terms of the communication
which they regard as practically man
datory. The memorandum from the
administration at Washington states
that unless General Huerta retires i'm.
mediately, and thereafter has nothing
to do with the conduct of affairs or
the formation of new government,
the President of the United States will
issue an ultimatum, which, II rejected.
will cause him to call upon Congress-
to authorize him to use sterner
methods.
The language used caused Huertas
friends to regard the American com.
munication In itself as conclusive,
since General Huerta is given no
choice regarding further participation
in Mexico's official affairs

Peculiar Belief.

Two centuries have passed since
the Scottish judge Lord Monboddo
was born. In his "Origin and Prog
ress Of Language" he argued that hui
man beings should be studied like
other animals; but this doctrine seem
ed to the contemporaries of DR.. John
son so ridiculous that the wags based
many jest upon it. His belief that
men got rid of their tails by sitting
upon them would now scarcely raise
a smile among anthropologists. Among
his more startling propositions was the
earnestly maintained one that the ou-
rang-outang was class of the hu-
man species, and that its want of
speech was merely accidental"

RARE PRESENCE OF MIND
At Least It Is to Be Supposed Young
Lady's Mother Regarded 1t
as Such.

Speaking of rare presence OF mind
recently recalled to eX-president Taft
the case of n handsome young woman
of his acquaintance. She had gone TO
the railway station to meet n man
friend of the family, and when he de-
barked from the train the young man
lost his hear and impulsively kissed
her. The girl thought it the part of
prudence to tell her mother of the nf-
fair upon which the latter was simply
horrified
you don't mean to tell me that he
had the impudence to kiss you?" she
cried. And to think of the crowd Mt
the station! Why, my dear, what did
you do in such an embarrassing stu
atom"
why, mother, just kissed him
back, of course" coolly replied the
young woman. Il wanted to give all
those people the impression that We
were relatives."-The Sunday Maga

In spite Of the greatest personal

constipation and indigestion have
wrecked many n young life. To start
with good digestive apparatus is to

But, as we cannot all have perfect

best thing and acquire them. or train
them to become healthy. This can be
done by the use OF laxatiyetonic

DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and has
been on the market for two genera

at any drug store for fifty cents or one
dollar a bottle, and those who are al
ready convinced of its merits buy the
dollar size.
It's mildness makes 1t the ideal modi

pleasant to the taste. 1t is sure in Its
effect, and genuinely harmless. Very
little of 1t is required and It's frequent
use does not cause 1t to lose its eff

remedies.
