Laredo, Texas, March 2o'- The battered remnants of the army, of 1,200 Federals with which General Guardiola set out to attack the eastern headquar- ters of the Constitutionalists at Matamoras, returned to Nuevo Laredo today, minus ammunl- tion, supplies and a large part of their active force.

ASNA's CHRISTOPHER.
(By Virginia Vale.


 Once upon a time Anna took her small basket and went out into the meadow to pick some flowers She had filled the basket and sat down on the grass to rest. It was a. nice warm day, the butterflies and birds were flying around and seemed very happy in the sunshine.
 Anna looked in her basket and there among the flowers was the prettiest green grasshopper that she had ever seen.
 "Ah, I am going to carry 1t home and keep it for a pet.' she said. So she carefully picked up the bas- ket and walked home with the grass hopper still among the flowers She asked her mother if she could keep it and her mother said yes if she would take good care of it.
 Anna made some holes in a box |.and then covered the top with a piece of glass so that she could see her new pet Each day she put in fresh leaves and grass and fed it sugar and small bugs One day as she was playing with it. she heard a noise that sound

SHE CAN'T SING

Dear Miss i.ibbey:
 A young man has been calling upon
 me for some months. Lately he has joined a singing society composed of both young men and women. can not join because have no singing voice I had my voice tested by q professor and this was his opinion. This young man have learned to love tells me he will never marry a girl who is not a good singer, for they only make good wives Is there any way in the world that I could master singing? would do anything to accomplish it.
 GRETCHEN
 If the professors who make singing their business have decided against your voice, I know no way of train ing it to give the result you so ar dently desire True love is not won or lost by a singing voice. If you could sing ever so sweet1y and hap pened to lose your voice after mar riage, would your husbands love be supposed to take wing because of it ? Certainly not. No matter how many accomplishments a woman may have or how many she lacks, it would make no difference to the man who truly loves her.
