Guajardo's report and the action Of
the Mexican Government caused no
surprise here. A similar course has
been followed in other cases that
caused representations to be made by
the American Government.
In his report to the Mexican War
Department Guajardo declares that
Nergara was a bandit who Struggled
arms across the border; that he was
captured and that he escaped. OF the
report that Nergara had been shot
and hanged, Guajardo says:
"Consuls hunting Trouble"
81 can assure you that this is false
There is no truth in the report that

Referring to the official statement

Nergara had been shot and hanged
GuaJardo added: ~ deduce that the
Consuls are looking for ways of

Col Thomas Griffith, formerly in
command of the army recruiting
service at st. Louis, has arrived at
Fort Mcpherson to take command of

ing Col. j. T. Van Orsdale, who re-
tired from active service last week.

Major Martin, who has been in com

Van Orsdale, win be second in com

1t was stated a. the Fort Monday
that the regiment probably win en-
train for the border Thursday morn
ing. orders have been received at
the post stating that the regiment
must leave Atlanta not later than
Thursday, and owing to the time re-
quired to pack up tine equipment and
personal belongings of the enlisted
men and the officers, 1t hardly is prob
able that the regiment will be able
to leave Atlanta before March 10.
The troops will go direct from At
lanta to Laredo, Texas, by way Of
New Orleans, the plan to send them

having been abandoned From La
redo the regiment win go to Eagle
Pass, on the border, and report to
General Bliss. who is in command
of the $1,000 soldiers that have been
massed on the American side of the

If it had not been for the fact that
orders were received for the men and
officers Of the regiment to pack and
take with them their personal be-
loneings as we'll as their camp equip
ment, it is probable that the local
troops would have left Monday morn

Ernie Lehman, high-hying man
about town, and one of the heirs of
the late E. ]. Lehman, founder of
The Fair, has been pinched. And,
worse than that, he was made to ride
to the station in the patrol wagon
Just like an ordinary souse.
Lehman after a night of gayety
struck a tartar in the person of one
Officer Johnny Martin of the Town
Hall station, Friday night.
Lehman emerged from the North
Star Inn. He wished to sing unto the
night air. And he did. Officer Martin
was standing on the corner. The
hour was late and Lehmann's sing
ing was loud and also very bad, those
who heard it claim.
Martin walked up to him and ex-
pressed his opinion of Lehmann's
song. But the gay young blood's voice
rolled on and on.
Nov see here, you gotta cut that
out" commanded the cop.
Lehman shut off the foghorn and
eyed the cop long and coldly.

But the cop represented stern
justice.
1--WE could, I suppose" he said,
'but we won't. The city of Chicago
has paid lot of real money for patrol
wagons to carry fellows like you to
Jail, and we're going to make use
of it."
So Lehman was hustled over. to
the Town Hall station. He was treat
ed much nicer over there. After all
he was Ernie Lehman. Efforts
were made to cover up the arrest. On
the books appeared merely 'E. E.
Lehman" There was no address.
No way in which to distinguish
whether E. E. Lehman was a porter
or the State street millionaire.
The police were 10th to talk about
the case, but it was finally dragged
out. The other newspapers appear
to be suffering with severe case Of

VI. L. Girl and the Sidewalk.

rules for those who walk upon the
sidewalks. We are chivalrous men.
Most of us are. We will always turn

essary for the University girls to be
so fond of the street corners. A
ew years ago, the appellation
'Street-corner Loafers" was scorn-
fully applied 10 boys who did such
thing. Even these "Street-corner

people pass.

ON GOING TO CHURCH.

There are several influences which
cause people, especially men, to go to
church. Among these are, habit,
mothers wishes to be fulfilled, the
personal request of the pastor when
he meets you on the street, duty and
the personal desire to attend religious
services for the spiritual good which
must result to the individual who at
tends for this reason alone. And in
asmuch as ye do it for the least of
these reasons, ye do well.
But the last named influence is the
best reason for attending church The
good to be gained from a religious
service is proportional to the aptitude
for absorbing the spiritual atmos-
phere and retaining it throughout the
hour, day or week. If one service is
sufficient to feed the needs of the
soul and to form a bulwark of pro-
lection to the mind for the period of
a week, one service a week should be
enough to attend. The person attend
ing any service because of the fear
of what people, the family or the min
lister may think, gets a minimum of
good from the time so wasted.
1t is right to go to church. 1t is
a duty to the soul which equals the
duty of eating for its value to the body.
The person who goes to church in
the right attitude and takes care that
the bulwark of spirituality be not
weakened after leaving the church
building can be a good citizen, a So
cial element for good in the world
with little effort. The effort is graf
est in protecting the mind against the
impetus to do evil, to do the little
mean things, to infringe upon, if not
actually break one of the ten COM
mandments. The mind protected by
the spiritual bulwark formed and
strengthened in the prayers in church
or on the knees anywhere can safely
guide the weak body through any test,
be the ordeal of fire or of water, or
even greater.
But going to church on Sunday be-
cause 1t is Sunday and everyone else
that claims respectability goes to
church that day will do you little
good. Nor will the respect for moth
er's wishes aid greatly, though the
person who respects the mother in
