We Become Responsible in Mexico.

We do not know how the present
countries may look to Mexico, but we
know how it is bound to appeal to
every sensible American when the
situation is fully understood. We
know, also, how the spectacle of the
President and Congress of the United
States making war upon one man
must appeal to the rest of the world.
1t would seem that if this man
Huerta is big enough to withstand
civil war in his own country, month
after month. and to require the great
U. S. army and navy to remove him
from the landscape. he must be big
enough to control the situation in
Mexico, if left alone by American in
terests.
Huerta could not be recognized" as
a ruler of Mexico with whom America
could do business, because he is a
bandit and murderer" But the
United States can make personal war
on him and salve it's dignity and
Honor" with a forced salute from a
bandit and murderer"
1t WAS Mexico's affair and, as the
head of the Mexican government, we
could have held a strong man like
Huerta responsible for American lives
and property there.
Now it is our affair and Mexico has
no government. WE ARE RE-
SPONSIBLE FOR MEXICAN AZ
FAIRS AND FOREIGN INTERESTS

Beginning Early.

With the following story Margaret's
father supports his opinion that adroit-
ness is congenital in women:
One Saturday Margaret, aged four.
was in deep disgrace. Four times
since 2 o'clock she had run away to
visit Mrs. Gilbert, her favorite neigh
Dor, and was now paying for her
crimes by detention in the house.
At 5 her father returned and sat on
the porch reading his evening paper
To him in a few minutes Margaret
sauntered out, her mind intent on car
rying out her plans, and shortly sug-
gested:
Daddy, let's play you are the baby,
and l am the mother"
Daddy agreed on condition that it
must be a very little baby and one
that would not be expected to move.
Thereupon Margaret, after silence
in which one could hear her brain cur
rents crackle, said, "Now. honey, you
be a good little baby and don't run
away, while mother for a little while
goes over to Mrs. Gilbert's. New

Motor Driving In Germ any.

It is an astonishing fact that blind
man may drive a motorcar in the Unit
ed Kingdom. Any one who has driv-
ing license, which can be obtained on
the payment of 5 shillings without any
test of qualification, is entitled to drive
a car whether he is able to do so or
not.
The German method is in strong con-
trast to that of England. If a German
wishes to drive a motorcar he must
first take out a one months tuition IL
cense. which permits him to learn to
drive. At the end of the month he is
taken into the heart of large city
and, with an official by his side, is
made to drive in and out of the traf
&c.
One little slip, a slight hesitation in
slowing up, and back he is put for an
other month Of tuition. There are
many cases in which even three
months tuition is insisted on, and
there are others in which licenses are
refused altogether. The result of this
is that the accident percentage in Ber-
lin is only half that Of London.-Man-
chester News.

Power of the Opium Habit.

In the American Magazine former
newspaper man, who became victim
of the opium habit and is now con-
vict in a penitentiary, writes dramat-
ic account of his experiences with the
drug He gives as follows his idea OF
the power of the habit:
II do not believe that any man with
an opium or morphine habit of years
standing can deny himself the drug if
it is within reach.
81 do not believe that any man. no
matter what his previous character
may have been, can use opium contin-
uously and not have the impulse to be
crooked He may not be crooked, he
may lack the nerve or the necessity to
steal, but the impulse will be there
and if. it ever becomes a question OF
theft or a habit he will thieve. This
is the history Of every opium smoker
have ever known"

The Invention of the Panorama.

The panorama was invented by a
Scotchman named Robert Barker. who
obtained a license in London in 1881
and erected a rotunda on Leicester
square He was associated with Rob
ert Fulton. the practical inventor of
the steamboat, who introduced pano-
ramas into Paris in 1896 but resigned
in favor of Thayer perhaps in order to
give his attention to the application of
steam to boats Thayer raised a rO-
tunda on the Boulevard Montmartre.
whence comes the name of the Pas
sage des Panoramas. Bonaparte caused
plans to be drawn up for eight pano-
ramas, in which his conquests were to
be shown. to the Parisians, whom he
always tried to impress with the mag
nitude of the achievements in order to
keep them faithful to his star. But
these projects were never realized.
