Washington, Nov. 9.-Carranza has
until o'clock tomorrow night to make
I'D his mind whether he will relinquish
the provisional presidency Of Mexico
with struggle or whether he will
fight for the retention of his present
office.
The news that the convention has
sent such an ultimatum to Carranza
was received here officially. The con-
vention demands that before tomorrow
evening he announce his recognition
Of the sovereignty of the convention
and bow to it by vacating his office,
from which the convention already has
deposed him and named General Euia-
Ito Gutierrez in his place. Officials
here are confident that by Wednesday
next a decisive turn will have been
given the situation and there will be
some basis for estimating whether
there is to be war or peace in Mexico.
Further indications that Carranza is
engaged in an attempt to stir up popu.
lar sentiment in southern Mexico in
favor of himself in his contest with the
convention by a2itating the issue OF
Vera Cruz, are apparent here. 1t be-
came known that while inflammatory
posters published and distributed by
Masons in Mexico City were promptly
suppressed, they were reprinted in all
the newspapers a few days later.

Garrison in resDOnse to the latters in

BLIND HAVE NO SIZE SENSE
Some SIghtless Children Imagine
Cows Are No Larger Than
Cats or Dogs.

The path of the teacher of the blind
is beset with many difficulties, one
of the greatest being the task of con-
veying to their minds some idea of
the size, shape and features of birds
and animals. In many cases, it is
true, models are used, but owing to
their small size they are, to say the
least, of doubtful advantage.
The ignorance of blind children is
great, often grotesQue. A teacher of
a class may find that child does not
know whether sheep or COW is the
larger, or he may even find that a
hare has wings! However carefully
they are told that small model Of a
COW Is only one-fortieth the size of
the real animals, more often than not
mails as being any larger than the
model, and will stoop and describe
something about the size of a kitten
when asked to indicate the size of a
COW. This arises from the fact that
no standard of size, form and texture
beyond those which they set up
through handling-can exist for those
who have never had the use Of their
eyes. Even those who have had sight
are found to lose their standards un
less they are renewed from time to
time by actual contact. An instance
of this was noticed not long ago
when boy of about twelve recovered
his sight after an operation. and for
several days following went about in
state of surprise and fear, for al
most everything which he had not
been In the habit of touching fire
quently differed considerably in size
from his recollections of seven years
before! The size of his parents
alarmed him very much, as he imag
ined they were much Strand

A Century AGO.

One hundred years ago, following
the battle Of the barges," Commodore
Barney and his little naval force we're
resting in the Patuxent river, awaiting
developments. The British had learned
wisdom from their late defeat. and
contented themselves with blockadfng
the mouth Of the river, and leaving
the Americans undisturbed In their
retreat. After several weeks OF mac
ton the British determined upon an
other attempt to destroy the American
flotilla as a move preliminary to ad-
vancing with their land forces upon
Washington. But Commodore Barney
frustrated their plans by sending his
barges farther up the river, where the
larger vessels of the enemy could not
follow. Commodore Barney, knowing
the defense Of the national capital was
of far greater Importance than the
fate of his fiotilla, finally decided to
destroy his boats and send his men
across the country to join the Amer
lean lines before Washington.

MANY FAT LITERARY LIGHTS
Writers Were Remarkable for
Their Great CorpuIence.

The connection between feeding
and literary genius is commented on
by Robert Sherard in his Modern
Paris. lola, he says, wrote best when
he was very stout, and that when his
bulk dwindled so did his talent The
ophile Gautier, himself enormous,
maintained that a man of genius
should be fat, and for proof pointed
to that more barrel than man." Bal

fat and jolly" to 'the hippopotamus
In breeches," Rossini, and to the plump
and well-fed appearance of Victor
Hugo and Sainte-Beuve.
Byron would never have agreed
with Theophile Gautier's dictum that
men of genius should be fat For the
increase of his too, too solid flesh was
the one thing of which he was
afraid, and various freak diets were
adopted to keep it under Don Juan
was written almost entirely on gin
and water. and in 1913 he lived on six
biscuits day and tea. Previously at
Athens he had tried a diet of rice in
small quantities, washed down by
vinegar and water and later on he
tried one thin slice of bread for break
fast and vegetable dinner, keeping
down hunger by chewing tobacco And
apparently such diets stimulated the
brain while notifying the flesh.

Herr and Hereafter.

The Taller tells the story Of an old
Scotchman whose wit was edged with
pessimism. One morning he met at
her gate neighbor whose husband
was seriously ILL.,
And hoo's yer husband this morn
ing, Mrs. Tamson?" he asked, solicit
tously.
"Oh, he's awful bad! The doctor
said his temperature has gone to 1901"
Nae, nae, you've made mistakel
Sandy's temperature could never be
as muckle as 15O-at least, not in this
world he added, as an afterthought.

frankly replied the colonel, as he ex-
tended his hand.
Then men went galloping down into
the valley to warn the settlers and
bring them in, and the fort prepared
for defense Orders were issued in
whispers and men moved about like
shadows. In three hours a breast
work of boxes, bales of hay, wagons
and turf covered the most exposed
point and the one most likely to be at
tackled An hour later every man who
could fire a gun was crouching behind
it and waiting for the expected attack.
Sergeant" whispered the deserter,
as the non-com. peered into his face
through the darkness, you said l was
a coward"
Yes, did"
And you said that Corporal Shan
ley and all the boys believed me a
coward"
"Well?"
We'll, I'll make you all take it back
tonight or go to HI trying!"
Moving with the footsteps of ghosts,
and leaving the crickets still singing
behind them, Concha's 500 warriors
left their lurking place under cover of
darkness and swept up the valley.
They found 1t deserted of human life,
but, conscious of their strength, they
pressed on to the fort. At the first
signs Of daylight they raised a savage
cry and made their rush. But for the
extemporized breastwork the post
would have been carried off-hand. The
rifle fire surprised and checked them,
but they were not panic-stricken.
They rushed again and again, and at
length, at one point, half score of
them broke through Six or seven Off.
GERS tried to drive them back with
sword and revolver, and the melee had
become bloody and furious, when a
man with dubbed musket dashed in
and cheered as he laid about him. 1t
was the deserter He cheered and he
struck, and he struck and he cheered,
and every time the musket stock
crashed down it shattered skull He
did not fight like man, but like a
devil. Almost with his own hands he
killed OF drove back such as had sur
mounted the works.
All along the line the hostiles had
had enough Two hundred of their
number lay dead on the green grass as
Concha gave the word to draw off, and
this heavy loss was to break the pres.
tige of the Sioux chieftain and make
him beg for lasting peace.
"Hobson! Hobsonl Where is Hob.
SOM" called the colonel, as the fight
was over and his heart beat with graft
tude for the man who had brought the
warning.
Here. sir" replied Sergeant Davis,
as he pointed to one of the 20 dead
men inside the breastwork-a dead
man with three dead warriors lying
within reach of his hand
And l called that man coward! "
"And so did l, sir, and so did we
all, and may God forgive us for it,"

Cover Bottles With Leather,

In carrying a small bottle, for in
stance. of medicine on voyage, 1t is
an excellent plan to make leather
covering for it, and this is easily done.
In this way If the bottle breaks there
is no danger from wounds caused by
the glass, and the cover acts as q
good protector. For square section
bottle, trace the profile on a piece of
leather four times side by side, and
add the small square representing the
bottom, to one of the profiles. Cut
ting out with the scissors. this makes
only one seam at the end to be sewed
up, also the parts at the neck Of the
bottle and the bottom piece.

Problem Of the PrIsoned Cork.

1t often happens that in attempting
to uncork a bottle, the stopper is
forced into the bottle instead, and 1t
thus floats on the liquid. This would
perhaps not be a drawback were it
not that each time the bottle Is to be
emptied the cork comes to the neck
and causes an obstruction, preventing
the flow Of the liquid
This can be avoided very readily
and all that is needed Is to bend q
piece of stiff iron wire in long U
shape. properly fitting 1t In the neck
of the bottle so that the loop portion
projects somewhat below the neck.
Upon inverting the bottle, the wire
loops prevents the cork from reaching
the neck to obstruct 1t.
