Assurance of the protection OF these
refugees was one OF the requirements
named by the United States as a neces
sary preliminary to the evacuation of
Vera Cruz.
Carranza refused to give any guar
antees for their protection. so the gov
eminent solved the problems by TAX

refugees and thereby making il pos
sible to withdraw without any guar
antee. These refugees will be taken
to Galveston at the expense OF the

nresent plan of the administration Is
changed in the meantime. the Ameri-
can forces will simply depart, leaving
Vera Cruz to whoever may be at hand
to take it. The present indications are
that the announcement OF the fortn-
coming evacuation may precipitate
general scramble among the contend
ing factions as to who shall seize the
city upon the withdrawal of the
American forces.
Have Million in Hand.
Not only have no arrangements
been made as to who shall receive tho
custody Of the city and all the mu-
nicipal State and Federal government
property there. but nothing has been
decided about the funds, amounting to
considerably more than a million dol
lars, which the American authorities
have in their possession through their
operation of the house at Vera Cruz.
The present prospect is that this
money will remain in the possession
Of the United States for an indefinite
period. presuma bly, to become bond
of diplomatic contention.
Tnasmuch as the revenues Of Vera
Cruz constitute In the eyes of any gov
eminent in Mexico its most desirable
characteristic, ii" il not doubted here
that the retention of the custom house
funds will be deeply resented by
whichever faction secures control
of the city on the evacuation by the
Americans.

There seems to be little danger
that the Elks' fraternity will
evolve into a religion. He knows
that truth is a point of view, that
all is relative, that nothing is
final nor absolute, nor can it be
in world where nothing is per-
manent but change.
So the Elk's religion is Now
and Here; TO partake of all good
things in moderation; to give out
love and kindness because these
things come back, and to supply a
scrap only to the man who re-
peatedly asks for it, and will ac-
cept nothing else-this as mat
ter of accommodation.
To do good is the first prong in
an Elk's creed And he realizes.
being wise, that the best way to
benefit yourself is to benefit
others.

The Elk never weeps over his
own troubles, but for the stricken
souls of earth his tears of pity
are near the surface. He loves
children, respects old age, and so
far as 1 have seen doesn't incline
especially toward indifference to
feminine charms.
l believe this will hold: No
little apology for man ever
Joined the Elks-he would not
feel at home among them. To be
an Elk you must have faith in
other men. faith in yourself, and
faith in the universe.
The Elks all look alike, and
are all of one age. Just what that
age is | have not made out. but it
lies somewhere between 80 and
so. No Elk ever is over 80. no
matter how long he has lived and
none weigh over 200 pounds. They
all have the joyous, boyish. bub-

TN ones own home, in everyday
life among ones own family,
is the best place to practice
good manners. The habit of being
courteous should be part of every
well regulated life; not from
mere wish to appear well before
guests or strangers. but because
good manners are the outward
and visible signs of inward kind
ness and sincerity.
Regard for the feelings, rights
and claims Of others is a mark OF
a Well-bred person. The person
who is suave and agreeable in
public or when wishing to make
a good impression. and who is
rude. snappish and disagreeable
at home shows that his or her
breeding is pinch-beek. Good
manners are not assumed for the
purpose Of deception In fact.
q refined person is never deceived

People who are naturally, in
