train from the west in case the one
from the north did no. come through.
We took his advice and reachel Ira
puato safely an hour later.
There we waited until about II 40
p. NJ, when the train from the west
pulled in, and at the same time we
learned that the mob had in fact cut
off the Pullman of the Zacatecas train
and had demanded all the gringos
Meanwhile a small crowd of MeXicans
in Irapuato had decided that they would
hold the five resident Americans there
as hostages. However. these Ameri-
cans had been warned by friendly
Mexican and the Federal authorities
sent an armed detachment to escort
them to the station, At the same time
the Federals sent a force of mounted
rurales to guard the train while in the
station. These rurales lined up two
feet apart on either side Of the track.
The train was held until the train
from the north, minus the Pullman. ar
rived at A. NJ. Then we though,
surely we should be allowed to proceed
But not yet!
After we had taken seats in the cal

AS soon as we were in the Pullman
the commander OF the Federal forces In
lrapuato who was a good friend of the
Americans, came aboard and said the
order to leave the train and the taking
OF our arms and ammunition was all a
mistake. He had with him the re-
volvcrs and pistols which our men had
given up and explained that he would
leave them with the Pullman conductor,
who would take care of them and return
them to their owners when we reached
Mexico city. lie was taking this pre-
caution, he said, so that no one would
be tempted to use his pistol in case of
trouble and so cause further complica-
tions.
Two OF the men with us had planned
to return to Guanajuato after seeing the
women folk safely on the train for
Mexico city. They were not permitted
to stay behind. however, for the Mex
lean authorities insisted that all Amer
leans at the station must get on the trair
and stay there. A troop train was sent
ahead and a heavy armed escort was OF
our train all the way from Irapuato e
Mexico city.
The rest OF the trip to Mexico city
was MADE without mlSnap. All the heA

in MODISH NECKWEAR
FRILLINESS is THE HALLMARK
OF THE SEASON.
DaintiIy Feminine, and Also ExpenS-
ive-May, However, Be Made at
Home by Woman Who Ia
Clever With the Needle.

There is delightful frilliness about
the modish neckWear this season.
Never were such accessories more
daintily feminine or more becoming,
! and never were they more expensive.
A consoling thought which takes
some of the sting out Of that last truth
| is that clever woman can make
many Of the dainty frills at an ex-
pelse much less than the cost % the
ready-made articles in the shops.
Take, for instance, some of the lit
tie pleated neck frills of fine shadow
lace, fur-trimmed, which are among
the new things of the season, and of
which there is surprising variety,
and which are extremely expensive
trifles. These could be very easily
fashioned by woman who Is clever
with her needle. The frilling can be
had by the yard and comes in all
varieties and different degrees Of fine
ness. The fur may also be bought by
the yard and almost any and every
kind of pelt may be used for the pur-
/ pose.
One of the stocks of lace and fur
is of broadtail trimmed at the top
with narrow pleated frill of lace. AT
the side there are loops of satin rib
bon caught and held in place by a
round buckle inset with small fresh
water pearls. Another Is made with
two frills of lace one outstanding,
while the other falls over the bodice
Of the frock At the center, conceal
ing the Joining line of the two frills
Is Llaced a narrow line of sable. An
other has line of skunk heading a
friil of lace which falls over the bod
ice. Finishing the V-point at the
front is placed a small bow of scarlet
ribbon Such an arrangement as the
one just described solves the problem
of nice adjustment 'twixt one of the
new stocks and the colarless blouse.

frills trimmed in real lace, ermine and

n Neglected, 1t Vii; Take Many
Months to Restore 1t to Proper
Degree Of Beauty.

A great many men, and not few
women, neglect their hair shamefully
until a diseased condition, such as
dandrulf, falling hair or an excess OF
oil calls their attention to the fact
that the scalp is in urgent need o.
care. Then, after 4 week or two of
scalp massage or tine rubbing in of a
prescribed tonic, they expect the hair
which has been neglected for years
to regain an lbs ori2;aa! glory.
This, cf cen e, cannot be done.
The damage done by years OF neglect
cannot he viii d o,il in few weeks
time. 1t will n:ora5ly be az least =
lew months before permanent I'M
proyement can take place. The thing
TO do is to take care Of your hair
before it is toe late. Start now.
Brush the hair thoroughly each
night, TO remove the dust acquired
during the day, and after that take
another brush and stroke it briskly
from the crown OF The head to the end
Of the strand 20 starr the circulation
At least a hundred strokes should be
given each night This will give the
hair a gloss AND rothing else.
Massage is exec tent for starting the
circulation. Purchase some reliable
tonic, rub this into the scalp, not the
hair, always rubbing with a circular
motion from the edge of the scalp to
the center Of the head. After the en-
tire scalp has been gone over place
the elbows on q table, with the fingers
on the scalp just over the ears. Rub
deeply in 2 circular motion toward
HE crown Of ne head. Continue this
movement ali ever the head
All this will take only about a half
hours time, and it is time we'll spent
for one who cares FOR her beauty.

For there but windfalls may be found
The fruit designed for man TO eat
Is not that lying at your feet.
The kind which judgment bids US choose
Unspotted sound and free from oruise,
Lies not amid the trampled grass.
Where earthworms crawl and cattle pass,
But swings upon the branches tall.
Beneath the sky's clear cobalt wall,
And that which is the nearest prime
Hangs high Who wishes 1t must climb.
The trunk seems high; the bark is rough
Your hands will bruise. yes. like enough
But he who makes excuse of these
Must eat the fruit beneath the trees.
While others with a weaker grip

Forgotten in the prize achieved.
