THE RED GROSS.

Not the least interesting part of the
preparations for military and naval
operations along the Mexican border

the Red Cross society to- provide ade-

most important precautions taken in

of both north and south were poorly

lesson in which the more radical of

International peace is desirable

in using this as an argument against
an adequate naval building program.

And here and there and all around

In the spring, early spring.

The sparrOws and the thrushes
Have come from out the southland
Soon they'll perch them on the high

And will sing their sweetest songs
OF the spring, radiant spring.

STATESMEN
REAL AND NEAR
BY FRED @. KELLY.

WASHINGTON, April 22-Repre-
sentative James Francis Byrnes of
South Carolina, used TO be court
stenOgrapher and it is doubtful if
stenographer in the country could jot
down the little Chinese-looking sym
bols in a notebook any faster than
he. Witness, lawyers, JUDICIAL
could talk at once, but Byrnes, with
his quick mind and minute fingers,
never muffed a word. He could take
200 words a minute single-handed
and alone.
1t came TO pass one day. however.
that Byrnes met his Waterloo and
went down TO defeat under a vocative
cloudburst.
The sheriff of that county had con-
ceived a little joke in the course of a
trial in which most Of the witnesses
were negroes Waiting her turn in
an ante-room was a large, pompous
colOred woman with a great heaving
bosom and big, credulous pOached-
egg eyes. Just before she was due
to give her testimony, the sheriff
called her 10 one side and offered her
these few words OF caution:
