An Interested Listener.

Mark Twain one rainy day found
himself in n room in his club which
contained only one other occupant
The two men drifted into CONVERSE
ton. Mark began a discussion on the
merits of Tess of the d Urbervilles,
and made brilliant deductions as to
the character and personality of the
writer of Tess from which he
called the internal evidence of the
story. His listener at times mildly
dissented, but on the whole main
tanned an attitude OF impassivity.
When Tess" had been labeled only
passable, Mark Twain's chance ac-
quaintance excused himself and de-
parted. Calling the smokeroom at
tendant, Mark Twain asked him
whom he had been conversing with.
That's Mr.. Thomas Hardy, sir!"
replied the steward impressively.

dogs from these grounds" said DE-
Ewes. "Any dog that steps a foot on
the ground will be killed immediate

"At the present time we are not go

can factions at Naco, Sonora, keep
their bullets for each other, they will
be wiped off the map. The admins
tration has decided that General Bliss,
in command at Naco. Ariz., shall han
die the situation in his own way And
he will shell the camp of the first of
the factions to permit its bullets to
cross the international boundary.
Meanwhile Chief of the Army. Gen
eral Hugh l.. Scott, is en- route today

that he will go to El Paso and there
confer with General PanchO Villa be-
fore proceeding to NacO. It is believed
here that as soon as Villa and Scott
meet, the former will call off any hos

ned by Governor Mayorena.
In the meantime General Bliss will
protect American tel itory. He has
powerful artillery at hand, and it is ac-
cepted here that at the first sign that
his warning to the factions not to fire
across the border is being defed, his
guns will bark. Even though this hap
