washington. d. C. April 17--Huer-
IA has parleyed again He demands
that his salute be returned simultane-
ously. This President Wilson is prac-
ticaIly certain to refuse. The latest
hitch. when officials here expected the
situation as good as closed up, was
discovered in dispatches from
o'shaughnessy. Wilson discussed It
with the cabinet Administration Of
hciais said privately Huerta's counter
proposition would not be accepted.
ANY intention Of recalling ships
bound for Tampico was abandoned.
and those close to the administration
expected to see Wilson's demand for
an unqualified apology backed up.
The text OF o'Shaughnessy's dis
patches was not made public. but it
became known that HHeFtz's- latest
proposal was that as his guns fired a
salute to the stars and stripes that
guns OF the American feet should re-
ply 10 the Mexican salute, gun for
gun. Officials here were ready to
acknowledge Huerta's salute OF 81
guns. after It had been finished, with
a return salute such as prescribed in
naval custom and precedent. That !
merely would be acknowledging the
anende honorable. they say. But to
ratHrn Huerta's salute, gun for gun, !

apology valueless. Officials described /

were laid before the cabinet, all men,

there should be no further temporiz- .
ing.
When the cabinet adjourned Bryan I
still described the negotiations as "en- /
couraging." but not final.

Huerta had been informed that no

that Huerta had been listening to bad
advice in the last IL hours. and after

Relatives Do Not Believe Body
Found Near Cleveland Is
Prohibition Workers.

Danville, Ill, April 17.-Relatives
and friends of Louis Patmont, Mil
waukee prohibition worker who disap-
peared from Westville, this county,
April 1, do not believe the body of a
man found on railroad tracks near
Cleveland is that of the missing anti
saloon orator. The body found near
Cleveland is that of an unidentified
man and authorities there believed it
answered the description of Patmont.
Relatives point out that the descrip-
tion furnished by Cleveland authori-
ties does not tally in several essential
points with that of Patmont. Rela-
tives are interested, however, in the
statement that the body found near
Cleveland was clothed in suit bear
ing the name of a Milwaukee tailor.
When Patmont disappeared he had on
a dark blue suit, but relatives cannot
recall the name of the maker.
Three men, said to be members of
the Burns detective agency in Chi
cago, arrived here. 1t is believed they
were sent by some Masonic lodge, of
which order Louis Patmont is a mem
Der, or by one of the religious pub
fishing houses Patmont represented.
workers here declare they
are short of funds and have discharg
ed detectives employed by them to
aid in the search.
One of the men who arrived spent
several hours in looking over the files
in a local newspaper office and the
other two are believed to be working
in and around Westville.

WHEN TO CRY

There are millions of children in the
world who want to do just the right
thing and the very best thing, but they
do not always know what just the right
thing is, and sometimes they can not
tell the very best thing from the very
worst thing.
Now have often thought that there
are children who cry now and then, at
the wrong time, and have asked many
of the older people, but none of them
cold tell me the best time to cry.
But the other day l met man older
and wiser than any of the rest. He
was very old and very wise, and he told
me:
1T is bad luck to cry on Monday.
ITO cry on Tuesday makes the eyes
red.
Crying on Wednesday is bad for
children's heads, and for the heads Of
older people.
1T is said that if child begins to
cry on Thursday he will find it hard to
stop.
1T is not best for children to cry on
Friday-it makes them unhappy.
Never cry on Saturday. is too
busy a day.
Tears shed on the Sabbath are salt
and bitter.
Children should on no account cry
at night; the nights are for sleep.
They may cry whenever else they
please, but not at any of these times.
unless it is for something serious"

old man gave them to me. Of course.

boys and girls.-St Nicholas

inspiration was showing off on the

gradually became showing off by the

the change has been wrought, until
now we have the condition the gentle

permitted to work on an equality with
men, so the critic thinks, they would

mercury in the cost of living thermom-
