LANGUAGE Not Likely to Last.

Mistral, the great ProVencal poet,
whose death was announced lately,
has been likened to Robert Burns for
the work he did. But Burns task
was child's play compared with Mis-
trails. The Scottish poet found his
language fully grown and completely
alive; Mistral had to create his means
of expression. Provencal had lost ev-
cry resemblance to a literary tongue,
and the new poet-patriot had to mold
it afresh, to re-create and to build up
on the ruins left by the vineyard and
the farm. Our Provencal," said Mis-
tral, was a country lass, ragged and
wild" She is now a wonderfully beau
tiful creature; but it is doubtful
whether all the genius Of Mistral can
keep her alive. The educational re-
former in France does not like such
irregular beauty.

SHOULD GET LARGER CROPS
American Farmers Might Largely In
crease Their Production Through
Scientific Methods.

Our Pennsylvania Dutch are good
farmers, but not SO good as their rela-
tiVes in Germany. For every bushel Of
wheat Pennsylvania farmer produces
from one acre the German grows two
and tenth bushels.
His farm is small, Sut the man who
delVes beyond the Rhine makes each
acre produce exactly twice as many
potatoes as do our farmers.
The man who bows to a kaiser in
stead of a president extracts just a
half more oats and over a third more
barley and about 60 per cent more rye
from each acre than does the improvi-
dent American.
The man who has but dollar can
live for long time on it, whereas the
prodigal can waste a $40 bill on one
dinner. The German has SO little
ground that he makes it Cork doubly
hard.
When the United States has 200s-
100000 population our farm production
an acre will likely have doubled from
sheer necessity.-Public Ledger.

THE light was dim. Distant music
sounded softly.
Suddenly the young man, overcome
by the girls beauty, seized her in his
arms and crushed her madly to his
breast.

Niagara Falls, Ontario.-General
Huerta is preparing to resign. He au-
thorized his representatives at the
mediation conference to announce
to the world that neither mis-
taken pride nor personal interest"
would prevent his withdrawal when
once Mexico is politically pacifed"
and the government succeeding his is
so constituted that it can count on the
support of public opinion in Mexico.
The Mexican delegates in their
formal statement revealed that they
had been instructed from the first to
inform the mediators that General
Huerta's personality would not be an
obstacle toward reaching a peaceful
settlement. They also declared in un-
equivocal terms that the internal situa-
ton in Mexico was necessarily bound
up with the international questions"
and that this spirit had actuated them
in coming to the mediation confer
ence.
Reply To carranza Note.
Coincident with the announcement
by the Mexican delegates of their posi-
ton. the mediators sent a note by mail
to Rafael Zubaran, representative of
General Carranza in Washington, re-
plying to the communication brought
here by Juan F. Urquidi
The mediators, in effect, asked Gen
,rrI, r. Zr1harnn If
the Constitutionalists we're not will
ing to discuss internal as well as inter-
national questions, now considered in
separable. not only by the mediatOrs,
but by the American and Huerta dele
gates as well, and if they yere ready
to declare an armistice with the
Huerta forces so that the political
pacifcation" to which the Huerta dele
gates referred in their statement
might be speedily brought about.
Deadlock Broken.
These acts-the issuance of the
statement by the Mexicans and the
mailing of a reply to Zubaran-broke
the deadlock in the negotiations, the
existence of which was formally de-
MED by the mediators. 1t was never
theless authoritatively established that
not until the mediatOrs withdrew their
original intention of ignoring the
Zubaran note did the American dele
gates consent to go ahead with dis
cussion Of the general peace plan.
The statement by the Mexicans, pre-
pared two days ago, but not issued
until General Huerta had telegraphed
his complete approval Of the tentative
plan for a new provisional govern
ment, also carried the negotiations a
long step forward.
