bSCduS0 LIZ. bruce -. IllHlldu
trusty old revolver failed to work at
a critical moment undoubtedly saved
the life OF man who entered his
house at an early hour this morning
and succeeded in making away with
81 in cash, to say nothing Of half a
jar of strawberry preserves, sack
of crackers, and generous supply of
cigarettes.
At 2:3o last night DR.. Gilfllan, who
lives at No. 301 Morgan street, was
awakened by man stepping into the
doorway Of his sleeping room. For
some reason the man did not enter the
room, but turned around and went
down the hall to the next room. DR..
Gilfillan jumped out of bed and went
to closet In the room where he kept
his revolver. He then walked to the
door at the hall, expecting the man
to come back.
Stuck Gun In His Ribs.
After waiting for moment or SO,
DR.. Gilfillan looked down the hall and
saw the man at the other end. He
called to him, What are you doing
there?' Instead of making any an
down the hall toward the stairway. it
being necessary for him to pass DR..
Gilfillan in order to get down stairs.
AS the man rushed past him, DR.. Gil
fillan stuck the barrel Of the revolver
into the mans ribs and pulled the
trigger.
1t was here that the old trusty gun
saved the intruders life, for the shell
failed to explode, although the ham,
mer fell in answer to the pull on the
trigger. The man ran on down the
stairs and DR.. Gilfillan again attempt
ed to stop himewith q bullet, but again
the gun refused to work. At the bot
tom Of the stairs the man slipped and
fell, but managed to get to his feet
and make his escape from the house
in very few seconds.
Took Parting Shot.
While the man was getting out OF
the house DR.. Gilfillan rushed into his
room where he turned on light and
fixed his gun by turning over the
cylinder. He then got to window
in the back of the house in time to
see the robber hot-footing 1t across
the back yard. Another test of the
gun found 1t in good working order
and the bullet whizzed after the flee
ing form, but failed to take effect
An examination Of the house showed
that the man had entered through a
back stairway window on the first
floor Of the house. Evidently, after
coming in, he had enjoyed a feast.
There were found on the dining room
table the remains of Jar of straw
berry preserves, the remnants Of a
sack of crackers, and numerous Gig
arctic butts.
After making his meal, the robber
had gone upstairs and made search
of several rooms. In the room &C.
cupie dmy Louis Kline, who lives in
the house, the man secured practically
the only thing Of value that was miss
ed today. About 81 in cash was ex-
tracted from Kline's trouser pockets.
When discovered by DR.. Gilfllan the
intruder was in the act of selecting an
assortment Of wearing apparel.

CARRANZA WILL
STOP FIGHTING
Constituencies Chief Ready TO
Meet CarbajaI ENJOYS
WILL DECLARE ARMISTICE
He Declares His Purpose AS An Act
OF Generosity To Grant Limited
Amnesty TO All But the
RingIeaders.

Washington, D. General Car
rama Monday informed the United
States government that he was ready
to declare suspension of hostilities
against the government of Provisional
President Carbajal, Huerta's success
sor, pending negotiations with his rep
resentatives for the transfer of author
ity at Mexico City to the Constitu-
tionalists
The Constitutionalist Chief express
ed his views in most cordial terms to
John R. Silliman, personal representa-
tive of President Wilson, and Consul
General Hanna and Vice-Consul Rob-
ertson, who interviewed him at
Monterey. Not only did he voice
willingness to receive the commission
of three appointed by Provisional
President Carbajal to discuss peace,
but said he would send an escort to
meet them and provide safe conduct
through Constitutionalist territory.
Secretary Bryan announced the re-
ceipt Of the message from the Ameri-
Ne'AA ASPA WAlll
that prospects for an agreement be-
tween the two factions now were very
favorable.
Inasmuch as the three men chosen
by Mr. Carbajal are Constitutionalists
who have been in hiding in Mexico
City and are thoroughly in accord with
General Carranza's policies as we'll as
personal friends of Mr. Carbajal, the
impression now is general that the
negotiations for transfer of authority
of government will be successful.
viii Grant Amnesty.
General Carranza is insistent, how
ever, that the surrender of the Car
bajal government should be uncondi-
tional. He is willing, it is declared
by his representatives here, to grant
a limited amnesty, not as a condition
of surrender, but as voluntary act
Of generosity on the part of the Con-
stitutionalists after they obtain the
reins of government. 1t is the inten-
ton of the Constitutionalists to give
guarantees of safety to the people
generally, but to prosecute ringleaders
in the plot through which Madero was
overthrown. Most of the latter, how
ever, already have left Mexico.

EASY TO HAVE SHAPELY FEET
May Not Be Perfect, but II Is One
Own Fault If They Are
Deformed.

A perfect foot is very rare. | heart

shapely foot, and the greater proper

Their feet have been spoiled by care.

cramping shoes and by ungainly, I'M
graceful walking
If you want to keep your feet as
shapely as nature made them, ano
free from corns, calluses and similar
disf1gurements, observe the following
rules:
l. Never forget that the feet are
hard workers and have TO bear the
burden of the whole body. Sit dowI
when tired. Do not rest one foot a.
the expense of the other.
2. Battle the feet every night. Us,

water braces and tones the muscles
and skin A few drops of eau-de-co
logne in the rinsing water is soothing

3. Thoroughly dry the feet. dust

boracic powder and the finest pow
dered starch.
A. Massage the feet for a few min
utes every night. Begin at the toes
and rub with firm, but gentle, pres
sure with an upward movement to
ward the leg. Put little warm cocoa
butter on your hands. This treatment
helps to make the foot narrow ano
arched and and ankle slender
5. Change the stockings every day
and see that they are not overdarned
6. Never wear cheap shoe leather
1t is the reverse of economical. See
that your shoes are well made, ano
not only wide enough. but sufficiently
long. Short shoes are a frequent
source Of corns and bunions Also
they cause the joints to contract and
enlarge and otherwise distort the foot

CHANGING COLOR OF EYES
Garniture Has Much to Do With Their
Approximations Things Worth
Remembering.

Have you noticed how the color of
your eyes changes sometimes with the
weather, and sometimes with the col
or you wear?
With almost everything but the eyes
1t takes contrast to bring out color.
For instance, portrait of a blonde
Eoman almost invariably has blue in
the background, and somewhere about
ahe portrait Of a brunette you will
md pink or red, blended to accentu-
ate the dark skin and hair.
1t is exactly the opposite with ma
anre; a color brings out a color. You
VIII see a rosy-cheeked girl with a
fose-colored hat ON her head; remove
The hat and replace 1t by brown or
green one and she will look pale.
A blue hat or veil casts a blue
shade over the face, so that the sweet
est natural complexion will appear as
If painted.
You can make your blue eyes or
gray-blue eyes deeper in color if
you like. If you wear a blue facing
or much trimming upon your hat the
same shade will be reflected in your
eyes.
