YES, HE WORKED HARD

iously in the bathroom. When Mrs. PinndrumN had left there had been neat piles in the cupboard, but he never could find any now except be- hind the bathtub or in corners.
 The telephone rang just as he took from his pocket the package of soap he had bought and the new hammer. He laid them on the piano while he answered the call and forgot them- Afterward he searched a long time for that soap even peering back of the parlor sofa. However, in searching for the soap he did find his gloves in a jardiniere and his scarfpin stuck in a library window curtain. Pinndrum never could figure out how they got there. The last morning there were no dishes whatever left in the pantry. Pinndrum turned his eyes from the sink as from an unholy sight. By this time his conscience was quite strangled, but he was going to give it no chance to revive.
 When he got home that night he found that Mrs. Pinndrum arrived unexpectedly a few minutes before. Pinndrum did not like the light in her eyes.
 ''Well?" he demanded defantly. Found things all right, didn't you?''
 Mrs. Pinndrum came over and kiss ed him solemnly on the forehead. I've just been through the house." she gurgled You must have worked hard-(Pinndrums chest swelled)- you must have worked hard, darling, to accumulate so many thingsl It looks as though the belongings of thirteen evicted families had been sprinkled OCT our humble possessions : Where did you find them all? And will you telephone for a steam exca- vator at once-and then you might start in on your dishes out thereI"
 "Oh, rats!" said Pinndrum. 'Im all that! I'm everything you say and then some morei 1 didn't dream a house would act this way. Come on, let's go to the theater and forget it!" Chicago News.

song of feeling bringing continued ap-
plause. Songs were sung in Italian,
French, German, and English, and i'm

HOFFMAN MAKES BRAVE
ARREST OF MEXICANS
Near Riot at Guthrie is Swiftly Ended
by Officer Hoffman Who Responds
to Telephone Call from Citizens of
junction Point.

Very creditable work was accom-
plished on the AFTERNOON of Saturday,
April %, by Officer Hoffman, he hurry
ing to Guthrie in response to a tele-
phone call from some of the citizens
of the town, who were alarmed be-
cause of the dangerous actions of a
number of MeXicans, they having en-
tered almost into a state of riot be-
fore Hoffman reached the town, and
summarily ended the approaching riot
by arresting four of the ring leaders.
and bringing them to MOrenci on the
afternoon passenger train.
That the men were in a beligerant
condition concerning agitation of the
Mexican national difficulties, was
demonstrated by Hoffman's having to
club one of them into insensibility be-
fore their consent was gained to be-
ing carried to the Morenci jail. One
of the Mexicans, engaged in the same
employment at Guthrie as his COM
panions, was in danger of serious as
sault by the offenders, this because of
his refusing to join with them in their
demonstrations. The small popula-
ton at Guthrie of those other than
MeXicans made the situation there of
serious danger, the disaffected men
being in drunken state, and inflam-
ed regarding the difficulties at the
Mexican gulf ports.
Upon being brought before Judge
Lally closely following their arrest,
the men were confronted with the
charge of disturbing the peace, no
desire being to prefer a more serious
charge, and were punished by fines
ranging from fifty to one hundred dol
lars. Failing to pay the required
money, all were placed in the Mo-
renci jail to serve sentence at the
rate of one dollar per day.

MEXICAN PRISON HORRORS
ALMOST BEYOND BELIEF

VERA CRUZ, April 29.-Admiral
Fletcher today decided to remove all
prisoners from the Fortress San Juan
illus, following inspection by Com
mander Stickney, inspector of the
port and customs, and other officers
detailed to that work. The inspection
verified tales that have been written
and told for generations of the terri
BILE conditions prevailing.
Many of the dungeons are below
the water line when the tide is run
ming in, at which times the inmates,
many of whom are half blind from
long incarceration in semi-darkness,
are drenched. Other dungeons are so
constructed that it is impossible for
the victims to lie down Ancient de-
vices of torture were discovered,
there being evidence that these had
recently been in use. Many of the
men imprisoned are so enfeeb1ed by
their treatment that they have been
transferred to hospitals instead of
prisons. The appearance of all the
prisoners is pitiable.
