pockets of the metal that had wash

the time of the deluge, when the thin
trickle of water that now ran there
had been a roaring stream, and when
they was emptied the gold was gone.
Ike had picked the pockets dry and
then sailed them with gold dust fired
from a shotgun for suckers like
Dicky Mears. They were scattered
here and there along the bed. No
body was mean enough to warn
Dicky, and as Ike had got him first
it wouldn't have been gentlemanly to
try to get him away till he was dry.

kerosene, and his morning bath,
which was worth twenty-five dollars

as soon as he could he got him out to
the Green Star, where he left him
with three months grub and heap
of dynamite cartridges. Stand back

Little Bedtime Stories
a NEWCOMER IN THE OLD
ORCHARD,
tBy Thornton w. Burgess.)

Where he came from no one knew.
The Old Orchard simply awoke one
morning to find him there. He was
bustling about quite as If he intended
to stay. He wasn't the least bit BASH
full as most newcomers to the Old
all the world as if he ALWAYS had lived
there, was one of the old residents.
He wasn't very big. Indeed, he was
small compared with some of the
other folks who live in the Old Or
chard, and he wasn't at all handsome.
But it was very clear to all that he
cared nothing about how he looked
him the least little bit
OF course everybody hurried to
look him over as soon as it was
known that he had arrived You
know, it is always that way whenever
a stranger comes to any neighborhood
and uysually 1T is very trying ex-
perience for the stranger. But it
didn't seem to be for this one. He
hustled around Just as if there was
no one about, and if he saw all the
sharp eyes watching him, as, of
course, he did, he made no sign. He
flew from tree to tree inspecting each
one carefully with his sharp eyes and
in the most businesslke way. He paid
particular attention to every hole in
them. Now some of these holes were
deserted houses and some were occu-
pied for the summer. but it seemed
to make no difference to him. He
poked his head in at the doorways
Of the houses where people were liv-
ing quite as boldly as of houses that
were empty and didn't even say beg
pardon" or Excuse me-"
All the time he did great deal of
talking to himself and his voice was
not at all pleasant. Not once did he
sing or even try to sing. The little
people who had lived in the Old Or

chard for so long didn't know just
what to make of him. If he hap
pened to meet one of them he just
hustled past as if he didn't see them
at all. He didn't so much as nod his
head in greeting. OF course. this was
no way to make friends. No one else
who had come to the Old Orchard
had acted that way. It was very clear
to everyone that he didn't care wheth-
er he made friends with them or not.
He acted as If he thought that the
Old Orchard belonged to him and as
If he Intended to do Just as he pleased.

STATEMENT FROM PRESIDENT

Following is the official statement is
ded as representing the views of
President Wilson and the administra-
ion on Mexico:
In discussions in official circles in
Washington of the present Mexican
,ituation the following points have
leen very much dwelt upon:
1T has been pointed out that, in
considering the present somewhat
'elicate situation in Mexico, the un-
pleasant incident at Tampieo must not
,e thought of alone For some time
1ast the de facto government of Mex
co has seemed to think mere apollo
ies sufficient when the rights Of
American citizens or the dignity of
he government of the United States
Esre involved and has apparently
made no attempt at either reparation
u the effective correction of the seri-
,us derelictions of its civil and mill
AIRY officers.
Orderly Placed in Jail.
Immediately after the incident at
rampico an orderly from one of the
lhips of the United States in the har-
sor of Vera Cruz. who had been sent
ashore to the post office for the ships
all, and who was in uniform and
no had the official mail bag on his
,ack, was arrested and put into jail
W the local authorities. He was sub
sequently released and nominal pun
shment was inflicted upon the officer
who arrested him, but it was signifi-
cant that an orderly from the fleet Of
the United States was picked out
from the many persons constantly go
ing shore on various errands. from
the various ships in the harbor. rep
resenting several nations.
oHiclaI Dispatch Withheld.
Most serious of all. the officials in
charge of the telegraph Office at Mex
leo City presumed to withhold an Off
cial dispatch of the government OF the
United States to its embassy at Mex
leo City. until it should have been
| sent to the censor and his permission
received to deliver it. and gave the
dispatch into the hands of the charge

sson his personal and emphatic de
mand. he having in the meantime
learned through other channels that
