WAVING INDEMNITY.

According to the practice of ma
tions the United States would be en-
titled TO a heavy indemnity on account
OF the expense to which It has been
put during the last few weeks in Mex
leo. However. spokesman for the ad-
ministration at Washington have let II
be known that there will not be in
sistence upon a money indemnity. The
United States, which the representa-
tives OF other nations have ever &C
cused OF worshiping the dollar, thus
again demonstrates its idealism, says
the Chicago News. While Americans
are moneymakers. they are neither
misery nor petty. The American peo-
pie are moved by sentiment more.
perhaps. than are the inhabitants of
any other country.
The government at Washington
wants peace and order across the
border line. II a government can be
established beyond the Rio Grande
that will promote the welfare OF the
people of Mexico and give us a con-
tented and prosperous neighbor. the
main desire OF the administration and
the American people will have been

nifty Is secondary. and may be waived
altogether. provided the chief end can
be promoted by such a course.
IL an indemnity were demanded
the long suffering people of Mexico
would have to meet the burden. rather
than the real offender against the
United States. the usurper Huerta.
Therefore this nation valves the
money payment which Il might pro-
perly exact, and the people as a whole
permit the expenses incurred by the
United States in the Mexican affair
to be a charge against the taxpayers
Of this country.

joy shone from his face.
"She spied on him after that and
would find him dancing before the
glass. keeping time to the music she
couldn't hear. But if he heard her
footstep first - Wliish Guilefully he
would pretend to be about something
else. Often from afar she would
hear him beating out his mysterious
rhythms. Often. forgetting himself, he
would absent-mindly play them with. a
spoon on the table during mealtimes.
she so loved the spectacle of this
dance that she wooed by playing foot
compelling airs on the piano and never
looking around. She would be re-
warded by hearing him jigging away
behind her. She had a real triumph
the day he tugged her by the skirt,
and when she followed unresisting he
towed her to the piano without speak
ing a word. That day she kept faith
with him and never so much as glanced
from the corners of her eyes.
After a long time he became so tame
that Alice could turn around if she did
it unobtrusively and shyly enough-if
you act embarrassed before them it I
helps-and that was one of
the days when she felt a decoration
had been given her"

In the July Woman's Home Compan-
ion Mary Heaton Worse writes a most
interesting contribution entitled "Ad-
ventures in Childhood" in which she
says that the moment parents are out
of the way children's talk is different.
Their very voices, their words and
heir looks all change. She calls this
Jther side OF the child THE Other
One" She says that il is astonishing
how quickly The Other One learns to
hide. Illustrative of this point she
tells the following story of a mother
named Alice and her small son named
Jamie:
There was Jamie, for instance. who
was only two and a half. II you even
glanced at him when he went to The
Other Side he knew IL and came back.
Alice knew that he danced to himself
in the glass. She had found it out one
day when he had forgotten that she
was in the room, and suddenly she be-
held him jigging to himself. He held
his hands above his head, fiuttering
them in time TO one of those rhymes to
which babies are forever beating time,
that are forever apparently ringing in
their ears. Sometimes he took quaint,
chubby dance steps, and again just
jigged up and down from the knees in
the same place. He was as absorbed

belt farmers by telling them that the
Underwood tariff bill had exposed them
to the competition of South America.
By a piece of clever detective work
Mr.. Rainey was able to show that the
whole alleged transaction was fictit-
ious-that no orders for Argentine
corn had been placed by Chicago
brokers. Instead of wholesale impor-
tations, only one car OF Argentine corn
arrived in Chicago. and that was i'm
ported as an experiment to see II the
corn was any good for chicken feed
and the car contained only $4,000
pounds.
According to Mr.. Rainey the scare
was organized either to influence the
price of May corn or else to provide
some campaign material for the repub-
lican protection argument.
BY correspondence Mr.. Rainey was
told by the secretary of the Chicago
board of trade that 5000 bushels of
