Arthur E. Stillwills Kansas City, Mexico
& Orient R. R., the Standard Oil Co., the
Waters, Pierce Oil Co., Pierson & Son.
Limited, London firm owned and man
aged by Americans in connection with the
Waters, Pierce Oil Co., 1t is rumored some
of these concerns might have something to
do with the backing of the revolutionists,
and one can readily believe it knowing that
these financial lowers are not interested In
business enterprises for their health.
Dlaz knew his country and knew his peo-
pie; and knowing them, ruled with an iron
fist but gradually let them work out their
own salvation. But strong-willed man
that he was, he could not compete with
time and was forced to relinquish his hold
through old age. A dynastical ruler Per-
haps, but | repeat, he knew his people.
Several years ago there was concession
made between the leading nations of the
world. The Hague was made the center
of arbitration. That, to my mind, was
the most diplomatic, the most practical,
and filled with most plain, genuine, com
mon sense, of any concession ever made by
nations Would it not be good plan to
come to an iron clad understanding with
every nation to the same effect? That all
matters of International importance be set
tied without the aid of armies and navles!
1t would. But could it? 1t could not. 1T,
for instance, every nation abolished their
army and navy, thus saving millions OF
dollars and the priceless cost of human lives
both of those who G i've their lives and those
(the widow and orphans) who live In death
afterwards, would there be eternal peace?
No! Uncle Sam, for example would secretly
build the bow of a man-o'-wa in Callfor-
MIA, the stern in Georgia the engines IN
Maryland, the rigging in North Dakota,
and the guns and ammunition in Maine and
by the time England reached the U. 5.
with simlar vessel, similarly equipped,
Uncle Sam would have had his boat shipped
to central dock, and assembled ready to
meet King Georges cruiser.
Such is human nature. Therefore wars
must continue and revolutions progress.
While it does no one any particular harm
outside of Mexico with the exception OF the
few hundred Americans, Englishmen and
Germans that has been killed and the for
eign owned property that has been destroy
ed and ravaged, the present comic opera
war; will probably teach them another
lesson;- until the time comes when once
again some greedy person or persons see
a certain ''plum'' that he covets; then they
will again take up arms, (for the country
sake) and with the ''solid, we'll drilled and
devoted army of %, 000'' opposing them,
cause the country in general and each lndl-
vidual woman and child to bear the brunt
of the suffering.

Spirited Debate Enlivens the Reg
ular Meeting of the Circle
SUNDAY.

The bi-weeklv meeting of the Chautau-
qua Circle was held in the chapel Sum
day and the entire meeting given over to
debate in which all members participated,
the subject being: "Would armed inter
vention by the United States in Mexico be
iustifable?'
Meeting was called to order by the presi-
/ dent at the regular hour, and roll call was
suspended.
Mr.. H. rendered his resignation as sec
rotary of the Circle his reason being the
pressing duties of his regular office work.
His resignation was accepted by the presi-
dent, and on motion of Mr.. B. (Blackstone)
Mr.. F. was unanimously elected to the
| office. The change was effected immedi-
ately
Mr.. B. (Blackstone) opened the
debate for the affirmative by a
strong bit of argument and Mr.. S. PEN
denis) heading the negative side, followed
also with strong force. The debate was
spirited and energetic throughout, and the
mock ridicule by both sides afforded much
amusement.
The debate was handled very we'll and on
vote taken at the end it was decided that
armed intervention would not be iustiia-
BILE, fourteen votes being cast in favor of
the negative and eight in favor of the affir-
native.
Mr.. H., retiring secretary, acted as critic,
and criticised justly.

"Papa's Baby Boy"

The day Officer Buckley was married,
an old lady present at the wedding, kissed
the bride and grasped Buckley's hand in
warm congratulation. ''May God bless we
me BY said she ''may yer married life be
filled wild happiness, and yer troubles-if
We have any at all, be little ones.
Buck never felt the force of this remark
or realized just what the old lady really
meant until last Saturday morning at 7:3O
O. clock when he became third time father
of bouncing baby boy. He really blushed
when he told us about it, and could hardly
stand still long enough to receive our sincere
congratulations.
Its all right Buck, that's the way we
got our start; but after they began coming
in pairs we decided it was time to get out

dero, and the others, but who is backing
them? Madero, with all his wealth and
family force was not the type of man to see
it through.

property; more financial interests there than
any other nation. Twill name few people

boys pour iron for about ten minutes, he
remarked, "the wood shop is good enough

of delivering the goods, by turning out an

Out of the Mouths of Babes
dY SHERLOCK

The following is related by friend
whose sister leads class of infants in Sun
day school. After explaining to the little
tots the meaning of Xmas, and showing
them pictureio f the Babe in the manger, she
asked if any knew where the birthplace of
Christ was? One little fellow sgnified that
he did and impaired the information that
Christ was born in St. Paul whereupon,
the otherwise dignihed class leader broke
out in one large First of-the- New Year
smiles. The class was puzzled over the
turn in affairs. One little fellow rushing to
the rescue of the embarrassed informant
added, triumphantly; we'll, if 18th wasn'th
St. Paul it'll wath Minneapolith.

Astrological Prognosticatio

The planets presage several events of
great moment during the year 1914.
In February, Venus enters the Ozone,
which will have bad effect on those born
at Blue Earth, Mimi, on that day, Mars
will be in the sign of the Zodiac, indicating
maritime disasters near Hudson, Wis. That
brilliant star, Vermifuge, will enter the
sign of Influenza in March. Therefore,
persons born between any two consecutive
years should subscribe for the Mirror as
soon as possible. The conjunction of
Uranus and Vox Populi in June presages
the marriage of society bell of Saltwater,
MINI. During the latter part of the year
many other important changes will take
place owing to the proximity of the planets
Nadir and Zenith. Those born in August
should not eat prunes during that month.
One born while Jupiter vas near the Alb
sinthe must battle regularly every Saturday
with his crew. In September the heavenly
bodies will all be gathered together near
the Vernal Equinox, indicating big pile
of dirt still remaining in our yard for re-
moval.

1t is with def1idence that l take up my
pen to requite, in very small part, a SOL
emn debt. knowledge of the inadequacy
of words for such service is strongly pres
ent with me as l write.
Many, indeed most of those confined
here, have in the silence of their cells, med
itated the bitter thought of social ostracism
awaiting them on their release. Many are
the men here who, during the daily routine
in the shops, have pictured with bitterness
very near to despair, the averted faces, and
cold greetings, of those whom they must
meet when their day of returning to the
scenes of their former activities comes.
This, perhaps, is the hardest part of con-
inement such as we here are undergoing,
the severest punishment of the man who
has erred against society-this thought of
his lowering in the estimation of his fellow
men. 1t is an experience we have all, or
nearly all, undergone.
So it is with a gratitude which we find
difficult to express in words that we grasp
at an outstretched hand, sincere, whole
hearted greeting OF fellowship and brother
hood such as was extended to us by Chap
lain Benson at the close of the services in
the chapel Sunday morning, Jan. IL.
The little volume, "The Emphasized
Gospel of JOHN which was handed each
inmate as he entered the chapel hall was not
tract, was not a preaChment. 1t was
more than that. 1t was material express
sion of personal good will from Rev. Ben
son to each man. AS such, each man should,
ard | think most of us do, value it highly,
apart from the beauty of the story it tells,
and the strength and renewed hope to be
derived from reading it.
| wish to express to Rev. Benson my
deep gratitude for, and appreciation of the
gift, and the kind words with which it was
rendered. In doing SO | feel that | but
voice the desires of a majority of the in
mates of the old prison.

FIVE TABLE DON'TS

Don't crowd your neighbor.
Don't make noise in supping your tea,
coffee, stew OF, soup.
Don't eat with your knife never put it
to your mouth under any consideration.
Don't rest your elbow or even your fore
arm on the table: violation of this rule is
the most damaging evidence of your lack
of table training.
Don't use your handkerchief moe often
then necessary and then only to noiselessly
wipe your mouth.
