MEXICO.

! In the rush of war news the fact
kthat Mexico has practically settled it's
Eproblem for the time being has been
Eoverlooked. But Americans should
Sremember that an impressive drama
Ewas enacted in Mexico City last week.
General Carranza, mounted on
kmagnificient horse, rode six miles
Ethrough solid walls Of welcoming hu-
Emanity, from the outskirts of the city
ITO the official palace. Flowers and con
kfetti were thrown at him, and very
Epaean of praise for the general and the
Ssung, as the conqueror moved forward
Eto his place.

the best kind of government that has

1t is to be regretted that the time is

BOGUS CHECK ARTIST

The Charm of Old Houses.

Indianapolis News: Old houses are
to be reverenced, and the person who
demolishes one commits a kind Of sac
rilege which the pressure of necessity
does little to palliate. Time gives to
an old house something Of the CharaC-
ter of its occupant. it acquires a per
sonality and is marked among it's
neighbOrs. The house which has had
many tenants becomes a nOndesCript
advertising it's misfortune by signs of
neglect; and it is to be regretted that
stately old houses must give way be-
fore the advance of business and fall
into careless hands.
The family which is reared in a sue
CessiOn of temporary homes can know
little of the charm Of old houses, for to
have tradition and memories, a house
must have had long association with a
single family. If an old house is dis
figured with scars on woodwork, doors
and walls, so much the better. for each
dent and scratch has it's history. An
IinCOnspiCuOus nail hole may bring to a
gray haired old couple pleasant TeCOl-
lectiOns Of the decorations which made
their daughters first party an affair
to be talked about. A long cash in the
rail of the soaring stair baluster may
recall pirate expedition which ended
in a hand tO-hand fight alOft, a thrill
ing slide down the rigging and a
mighty swim across the hall floor to
the safety of a horse-hair sofa.
Age seems to soften the outside ap-
pearance of an old house as well as to
enhance the charm Of the interior.
Much painting and the action Of the
weather give it a mellOwness beside
which new houses look impudent and
Grass. But to grow old gracefully a
house must have care. Many old
houses become unpleasant to the sight
through long disuse, and when a house
is afflicted with spider web over the
keyhole, it becomes an object of sus-
picion to be passed quickly on dark
nights.

SMASHED HIS AUTO:
WILL SUE COUNTY

Courtenay N. D., Aug. 24.-John
Neva had a very close call from death
when his auto aurned over. Mr.. NeVa
was driving on the main road near
Peter Rudolph, a road he has been
over many times and hit rock near
the road, and in so doing bent the axel
Of the car to such an extent that it
became unmanageable and quickly ram
onto other large rocks at the roadside
and toppled over, completely de-
molishing the car.
The car is said to be a fit subject
for the scrap pile. Mr.. Neva will bring
suit against the township for their
carelessness in allowing such rocks to
be near the road. which are said to be
immense ones, and one driving along
there at night could not see them until
a car Gamer light onto them.

THE CITY OF PEACE.

There's a city of solemn sspIIendor
In a valley beyond the hill;
The roofs, they are low and slender,
The rooms, they are cool and still.
There is love in the solemn city,
There is never a thought of sin;
To rich or poor swings the open door,
And it says to them ALL Come in."
There is rest in the solemn city;
1t is night when the noon is deep,
And they never care if it's dark or fair,
For the people are all asleep.
There is never the least complaining,
There is never thought of pain
They are blameless quite as the gleam
Of light
In a tear or the drop of rain.
They are pure in that solemn city
As bud in the early spring,
Or the beauty shed, when the grass is
dead,
From the tip of a snowhake's wing.
There are birds in the trees at morn
And their song is of JOY supreme;
But the music dies in the bending
skies,
While the slumberers dream and
dream.
The moon in the starlight watching
Sheds a beautiful golden glow;
And the shadows play in a tender way,
But the slumberers never know.
The hugles and drums Of darkness
May echo through every street,
And the midnight chimes ring their
mOurnful rhymes,
But the slumberers' sleep is sweet.
In that city of solemn splendor,
Where the chambers are locked and
still,
And their peace is a peace eternal,
In the valley beyond the hill

The garb my Mary deigns to wear
Is right just right;
The way my Mary decks her hair,
The way she twists the golden snare,
And curls and puffs the fabric fair,
Is right, just right.
The width my Mary gives her skirt
Is right, just right.
1t may be French and chick and pert,
1t may be tight enough to hurt,
1t may be rash-I still assert
It's right, just right.
Her shoulders need no druggists aid,

Her arms with lace are oyerla1d.

She's right, just right

CANADA AND MONROE DOCTRINE.

Pittsburgh Dispatch: An example
Of the habitual minister probation Of
the Monroe doctrine is presented by
the appearance of various letters and
articles discussing the possibility Of a
German attack on Canada, and assunl-
ing that if such an undertaking should
arise, the United States under the
Monroe doctrine would be obliged to
prevent it.
There is very little danger of a Ger
man attack on Canada, for the reason
that if Germany obtains sufficient con-
troll Of the seas to send a military force
half way to Canada, she would first
direct her armies against England. But
with the abstract theory of German
attack on Canada, or the bombardment
Of Canadian ports by German cruisers,
the Monroe doctrine has nothing to do,
So far as the Monroe doctrine is con-
cerned carrying the war into Canada
is entirely legitimate. But if any Eu-
ropcan power tries to annex Canada,
then trouble would commence.
The Monroe doctrine does not forbid
the making Of war. 1t forbids the
annexation of new American territory
by European nations.
