The elasticity OF human nature is its
most remarkable as well as its most
merciful gift. To many who find IT hard
enough to be cheerful and jocund with
all the blessings of freedom at com
mand, 1t seems almost miraculous that
the unfortunates OF Sing Sing, discipline
being relaxed for a day, should revert
to the Joyous romping and wild hilar-
ity OF boyhood. Nobody will grudge
them the indulgence II It will bring any
new hope or courage to them.

Stumpted in the least, so began telling
of some of the pleasures of the simple
life: 1--WE have had pretty good times

back lot, where we baSeballed all that
afternoon. In the evening we Sneaked
UP into the attic and pokered until

was listening, not to be outdoue, took
up the conversation at this point and
I said: Twas having some fun about
this time myself. muled to the corn,

of the country has led to the forma-
ton Of large and numerous classes for
instruction along this line. In class
there is always the added stimulus OF
working along with other beginners
and profting by their successes or
failures. Leaders Of canning clubs
from the United States department Of
agriculture have found that certain de
tails are essential for getting class to
do its best work. In addition to the
canning outfit itself the following
items are really important for carrying
on the work smoothly:
First.-A clock in convenient posi-
ton, where all can see 1t, and scales
graduated from an ounce to twenty
four pounds.
Second.-A record book in which all
records are kept for the use of the
club member, school or housewife. Ii
pupils constitute class then each pu-
pil should have record book and
pencil.
Third.-Plenty Of clean wiping cloths
for wiping cans, coppers and steels.
Fourth Salt, sugar and plenty OF
clean, pure water.
Fifth.-A sharp pairing knife for each
person working; tables, tins, pans or
containers, buckets, ETC.. enough for
convenient and efficient work.
Sixth.-The necessary glass jars or q
supply Of tin cans with solder hem.
med caps and the labels.
Seventh. Either commercial OF
homemade soldering fiux.
Eighth. but not least. leader
or manager Of the canning party In
case the work is done from the stand
point of the school or class in can
ming. This leader should have the pro
gram well In hand so as to ARRANGE
| for the proper division Of labor and al
the same time permit every member
to make her experience cor ]rte. from

cation Of utensils to the labelling n

INTERVENTION RUM0RS
ARE TRACED TO CLERK IN
AMERICAN CONSULATE

Mexico City, Jan. 1S.-Alarming rumors
recently spread through the American
colony to the effect that Intervention was
eminent have been traced to a clerk in
the American consulate. The clerk is
quoted as having told several friends in
confidence that Mr.. Lind advised him
not to bring his wife to Mexico, saying:
II couldn't promise trouble in ten days,
but could in ten weeks. The great blow
will fall then"
This ominous prophecy, which was cir
culated widely, being magnifed. has cre-
ated a real scare among members Of the
American colony and other foreign resi-
dents.
Another attack was made by Zapatistas
or the inter-oceanic railway line to Vera
Cruz today, a freight train being cap
tured, the tracks torn up and several
bridges burned east Of Oriental. A de-
tachment OF federals sent to the scene
were routed with a loss OF sixteen killed.

cisco de la Barra, Mexican minister to

Cancelled his trip to Switzerland and

ton of Commission of at
Least Five Members.

Senators who are in the confidence of
the administration on the antitrust legis-
lative program asserted yesterday that
the plan contemplates trade commits
sion to be composed of at least five men,
bers. Senator Newlands. chairman Of the
Interstate Commerce Committee of the
Senate, is in favor of such commits
sion and has q bill pending in the Sem
ate to create such a commission Of three
members
Senator A. B. Cummins, OF Iowa, who
is also a member of the same commit
tee, has a bill providing for a trade COM
mission and prescribing powers to be ex-
ercised by 1t. His plan Is more compre-
hensive than Senator Newlands'.
As the plan was being discussed among
administration Senators yesterday. it
contemplates building up a trade COM
mission on the basis of the working
force of the office OF the commissioner
of corporations. II looks now as II Joseph
