has all he can do now TO get around
TO the various tango hops on tap in
town during the week. Time was
wheh a daShing rig from the city with
a well set up young fellow driving
used TO set all the maidens gushing
and unless the said young fellow was
marvelously two-handed and versed
in the art of hit and get away, he re-
ceived both admiration and sympathy.

Lind Loses Baggage
Toward morning the shooting and
shouting appears to have died down
somewhat, and the Americans left
their lifesaving station in groups Mr..
Lind returned to his hotel in the gray
dawn by quiet street and made
some hasty inquiries for his baggage.
1t had disappeared. He thinks it
was taken away by a friend who
happened to see it and placed it in
safety somewhere, but Mr.. Lind does
not know where nor did he personal
ly recover any of his belongings.
They are still in Mexico. He came
home without any wearing apparel
but what he had on.
After learning that his baggage
had gone and that things did not look
good for Americans, Mr.. Lind decided
to go himself. He made his way to
the shore and finding little launch
persuaded the owner to take him to
a British gunboat in the harbor. Here
he spent Wednesday and the follow
ing day was put on a tanker that
took him out to the Connecticut,
which brought him to Galveston.

and remained in Texas.

Lind. "You know you get acquaint-
ed men have to under such circum-
stances"
Asked if he would care to go back
to Mexico, Norman Lind replied with
spirit that he would like nothing bet
ter than to go back properly equipped
for taking hand in the fight game
if it should come to war. 1t might
be that another Lind would go into
Mexico, but this one representing
the flag in military capacity.

LIBRARY NOTES

By providing houses for the birds,
our feathered friends, we help them
to help us; for we should not lose
sight of the fact that our land would
be one of pestilence if it were not
for these tiny creatures. You who
have gardens know the source of
their help to us. We cannot be too
kind to the birds in our provision for
and care of them.
A bird house costs very little, costs
nothing in fact, for a disable one is
so easily made; but it may mean
much to pair of birds looking for
mating place or shelter; paying
US in return thousand fold with
their presence, their song, and their
practical work in the determination
of insects. So truly are the birds
our friends that we should, in every

at has made US so independent of
railroads that we feel now when buy
ing a ticket to Chicago as if we were
helping the poor old line out. Our
creamery has been collecting milk
and shipping butter in an old road
ster with a wagon bed thorax for a
year. Two of our rural mail route
carriers use small machines except in
wet weather, and good-roads societies
in our vicinity are the latest fad. We
raised one thousand five hundred dol
lars last spring to bring the Cannon
Ball Trail from Chicago to Kansas
City through our town and our hotel
keeper contributed one hundred dol
lars of it. He says we will be on the
gas-line tourist route to the coast
after the trail has been marked and
drained and graded up WELL
"But mostly the automobile means
freedom to US. We're no longer
citizens of Homeburg but of the con-
gressional district. We're neighbors
to towns we hadn't heard of ten years
ago, and the horizon nowadays for
most of US is located at the end of
ten-gallon tank of gasoline. Why,
in the old days you had to go fifty
miles east and double back to get
into the north part of our county,
and more of US had crossed the ocean
than had been to Pallsbury in the
north tier of townships. Now our
commercial clubs meet together al

babies in our own have proud grand
parents there.

bile means to US. Can you blame

Norman Lind Sees
Mexican Warfare
Son of John Lind Has Experience
on Night Americans Enter
Vera Cruz

Norman Lind, former Governor
John Lind's oldest son, is back on
American soil, having had real ad-
venture in Mexico. Norman Lind re-
manned in Vera Cruz when his faith
err came home early in April. Gov
vernon Lind. it will be remembered
left Vera Cruz just before the order
went out for its occupation by the
Americans.
Norman Lind, who expected to re-
main until his father returned, took
trip up the coast as far as Tam
pico. He went, he says, "to see the
town" He admits that he saw it, but
not under very favorable auspices.
Tampico, when he arrived, was in a
ferment because of the presence of
the American vessels and the reports
coming in about the flag incident.
Trouble was anticipated, but had not
taken place.
His Refuge Under Fire
Mr.. Lind and some other Ameri-
cans went into the town and put up
at the Imperial hotel. They were in
the town on the night of the 81, when
the news came that the hated Ameri-
cans had captured Vera Cruz. Soon
the Mexican town was in state of
riot. Thousands crowded the main
streets, Hundreds of armed Mexi-
cans, shooting and yelling for Amer
leans, began to permeate in all direc-
tions. Norman Lind and some thirty
Americans managed to gather and
appoint a rendezvous. They armed
themselves with what weapons they
could get hold of and in groups
found their way to the tops of some
buildings where they concealed them
selves.
"Were you shot att" Mr.. Lind was
asked.
Il don't know whether you would
call it being shot at, but the house
we were on was riddled with bullets
'Did you return the fire."
1--WE did not, and that was the only
thing that saved US. If we had done
any firing we should have been
spotted and murdered then and
| there"
I'VE kept concealed and had only
one object in being armed. That was
to give as good an account of our
selves as possible if the worst came.
