When DImpIes Win.

Inspector Martin MCGEE, as one who
must do something, no matter how fu-
tile, to lull his Impotence, rang a bell
on his desk.

to the doorman.
"Grimaldi," he greeted the scholar

Grimaldi. I'D met her for a report

WHY NOT FUTURE GREATNESS

Young Mother to Fondest Hopes
for Her Son.

Occasionally these days one finds q
servant with a servile attitude Of mind
and an adoring, unselish heart. Such
a nurse maid was Pansy, and she law
ished all the devotion Of her simple
heart on her young charge, Bobby.
On his first birthday anniversary she
sat looking at him in admiration and
after a long silence she turned to her
mistress:
MRS. Blank, do you think Bobby
will yer be president Of the United
States?"
The young mother would not alto
gether pooh-pooh the idea OF such
glowing possibilities for her sons fu.
ture, so she smiled and said: well,
you eve can tell, Pansy. He might.

I'm glad I'm not the Oldest" re-

thing at home; father thinks she ought
to take the burden Of housekeeping
off mothers hands. and my brother
wants her to walt on him as If she
were q servant-he knows better than
to ask me to do something for him
says I'm spoiled-and you Just bet I'm
glad I'm the youngest girl"
Too often the oldest daughter Is
made a drudge, and there Is not the
proper amount Of respect and regard
for the girl whose labors take the
place Of a maid. She Is expected to
run errands, help with the care and
amusement of the children, teach
them lessons. What wonder that
such a girl will take the first oppor-
tunity for work as a means to escape
from these unpaid labors, or accept
an offer Of marriage in order to live
apart from a family who do not even
try to make her home life comfort
able and pleasant.
But / am glad to say that not al
ways is the position of "elder daugh-
ter" such an unappreciated one; in
some households she is beloved and
respected, at the same time expected
to fulfil whatever duties may fall to
her lot. Her sisters and brothers are
taught that they must return any serv-
ice she may perform for them with
due appreciation, II nothing more, and
they soon learn that her place is an
honored one, instead Of being unen-
viable.-Pittsburgh Dispatch.

sixty. About q month ago she ar.
rived at Bormes and complained to

there was no evidence Of any such

found that the lady had departed with
Doctor Petit for Hyeres. She took
the Villa Mathilde, where she has just
died. Her real name was Nine. Jouf-

GuADALAJARA IS CAPTURED
Federal Rout 10 Complete, Rebels 7ek
Ing 5000 Prisoners-opens the
Way to Mexico City.

Saltillo, Mexico. - Gen. Carranza
was officially advised Of the fall OF
G%uadalajara before the Constitution
alist forces. The news was received
with the utmost elation at Constitu-
tionalist headquarters, where It was
regarded as preliminary to the oceu.
patton of Mexico City itself.
The rout OF the Federals was said
to be complete that they had been
cut of from Mexico City by the forces
Of Gen. Blanco, which had detoured
from Ameca to destroy the Federal
lines Of communication. The Federals
we're reported scattered In all dtrec-
lions. Great punishment was indict.
ed on them in retreat, but no figures
of losses on either side were available.
Gen. Obregon led the main attack
ing force. For several days they had
hammered the Guadalajara garrison,
which came out from their defenses
in the effort to scatter the b%esiegers.
After a disastrous conflict, in which
the Federals lost 10 troop trains and
more than 600 prisoners, they re-
treated, leaving an unobstructed road
to the second largest city Of Mexico,
which offered little resistance when
the Constitutionalists appeared.
Further details of the conflict at
Guadalajara said 5000 Federal pris-
oners, with much arms, ammunition
and supplies, we're captured. The
line of combat, it was said, extended
over IS miles, with Gen. Blanco com.
manding Obregon's advance guard.
The Constitutionalists were reported
in complete control Of the city, IN.
Guiding the Federal palace.
Gen. Jesus Carranza, 1t is said, IL
preparing to attack San Luis Potosi
within two days, and as he has q
force of $4,000 men and the Federal
garrison nearly all has been with.
drawn, he - expected to encounter
little difficulty.
The capture Of Guadalajara and
San Luis Potosi will open an easy road
to Queretaro and it is confidently ex-
at Carranza's headquarters
that the victory Of Obregon will in.
sure the speedy capture Of Mexico
City.
Constantine Jaca, representing all
the Constitutionalist leaders Of the
State of Queretaro, has arrived here
to report to Gen. Carranza that all
the chiefs of that state have recog.
nized him as first chief and to re.
ceive orders from Carranza for future
military operations.
Guaymas, which has held out
against the Constitutionalists for more
than a year, is about to be evacuated,
according to information received by
officials at Nogales, Sonora. The
Federals have most of their impedt-
menta loaded on boats and It Is ex.
pected they will exacuate as soon as
their position becomes untenable.

REBELS REFUSE TO MEDIATE
carranza Will Not Deal With Repre-
sentatfves Of Huerta-lays the
Blame on His Generals.

Washington.-The Constitutionalist
agency received word. from Gen. Car.
rama that he was drafting his decli-
nation Of the mediation invitation to
appoint representatives to meet in
formally with the Huerta ENJOYS. Car.
rama said he would Immediately dis.
patch the reply to Rafael Zuzaran.
head Of the Constitutionalist agency
here and have him forward It to the
mediators.
The note will set forth that Gen.
,Carranza consulted his generals a.
to whether or not they desired to
amend the plan Of Guadalupe 30 ~
to allow him to name delegates to
deal directly with Huerta ENJOYS IN
an effort to settle by diplomacy the
internal affairs Of Mexico and that
they voted unanimously against the
suggestion. Carranza will then de-
clare that in the light Of this action
there Is nothing left for him but to
decline the offer OF the mediators
to arrange. an informal meeting OF
the Constitdtionalists and the Huerta
ENJOYS.
Members Of the local junta say that
when Huerta finally makes up his
mind to abdicate, they expect him to
open up negotiations with the Consti.
tutionalists through his ENJOYS now IN
his country. In this case they say It
is likely Gen. Carranza would name
delegates to meet with them for the
one purpose Of arranging the terms
OF surrender.
