THANKS.

" HANH God for this bright fraiity
OF life.
The lyric briefness of its reckless
u spring.
Thank God for all the swift al
venturing,
The bold uncertainty. the Strengthening
strife.
Thank God the world is set to such
tune.
That life Is such a proud and erasmus
wave,
That none but lifeess things shall 20
times slave.
Like the long dead but never firing moon
That godike passion strangely leaps an"
runs; -,
That youth cannot grow old nor peau''
stale.
That even death is fragile and must IA"
Before the winds of JOY that speed '"'
suns. -.

WORTHY,

I MAY not reach the heights | seek:
My untried strength may fail me,
Or halfway up the mountain peak
Fierce tempests may assail me;
But, though my goal | never see,
This thought shall always dwell with me
will be worthy of it.
/ MAY not triumph I'm success
Despite my earnest labor:
1 may not grasp results that bless
The efforts of my neighbor:
But, though life's dearest JOY | miss.
There lies a nameless strength in this:
| will be worthy Of ii.

YOUTH.

WHAT do they know of youth
W who still are young?
They but the singers of a golden
song.
Who may not guess its worth or
wondcr--flung
Like larscss to the throng.
We only-youns no longer. old so
long
Before its harmonies stand marvel
ing
Oh. we who listen: never they who
sing!
NOT for itself is beauty. but for
us
Who gaze upon II with all rever-
ent eyes.
And youth, which sheds its glory
luminous.
Gives ever I'm this wise.
Itself the Joy IL may not realize.
Only we know who linger overlong
Youth that is made of beauty and
OF song.

No Change of Attitude

Washington, January 27.-There was
no indication today of any change in
the attitude of the American govern
ment toward Mexico as the result of
last nights conference between the
President and members of the Senate
foreign relations committee.
Reports received at the state depart
ment today from American consuls in
Mexico told of general suspension of
active hostilities at ManZanillo, Quay
mas and Torreon. 1t is understood here
that the illness of General Villa has
stopre to the forward movement of
the constitutionalists though it also
has been intimated TO the state de-
artment that the attitude of the ma
ives of central Mexico is less favorable
to the revolution.
Much significance was attached to
the reported arrest by General Huerta's 8
orders of army officers of high rank
on charges of treason and there is a
disposition among officials to regard
this development as a sign of grow
ing belief among Huerta's adherents of
the approaching climax.

Merican refugee. Samuel Cantu, who
formerly was mayor of Lampaso. was
