State Department Was
Ignored in Conference

Whatever plans President Wilson had
in mind when he ordered John Lind
from Vera Cruz to Pass Christian for
a conference he has guarded the secret
even from the State Department. AC-
cordinG to John 3assett Moore, acting
Secretary of State, the President has
not even intimated to the department
the purpose of his sudden summons to
Lind.
Reports that Mr.. Wilson has at last
determined to resort to intervention as
a means of bringing the present condi-
tions in Mexico 10 an end, were met
by Mr.. Moore with a statement that as
far as he was advised there was at pres.
ent no thought of Intervention. Secre-
taTy of War Garrison and Secretary of

Moved to make q statement by the
criticisms aimed at his department be-
cause of the reported action of Major
McNamee, commanding the United
States troops at Preside, in disarming
hundreds of Mexican federals fleeing
across the border from the slaughter at
Ojinaga. and forcing them to return de-
fenseless. Secretary Garrison this morn
ing said:
'HThe best answer that ! can give you
concerning the conditions on the border
is this:
when the fighting first took place on
the Mexican side, and the soldiers of
the defeated party began coming across
the border. we, without regard to tech
nical questions of law. and in the in
terest of humanity. took in as refugees
all those who came unarmed. We kept
them so long as conditions on the other

A German story gives the origin OF
the moss rose as follows: Once upon
time an angel, having a mission of love
to suffering humanity came down to
earth. Being tired, he sought place
wherein to rest, but as 1t Jared with
his Master, so 1t Jared with him. there
was no room for him. and no one
would give him shelter. At last he lay
down under the shade of rose, and
slept till the rising sun awoke him.
Before making his way heavenward
he addressed the rose and said, as
It had given him shelter which man
denied, 1t should receive an enduring
token of his power and love, and so.
leaf by leaf, twig by twig, the soft
green moss grew around the stem, and
there 1t ia to this day. cradle IN
which the newborn rose may lie.
proof, as the angel said. OF divine
power and love.

EVENING UP THINGS
BY HAROLD CARTER.

John Hilton stopped down and
raised small, speckled object out Of
the mud of his garden. His friend adj
tusted his spectacles upon his nose,
stopped down also and began examin-
ing it.

you are lucky man."
Then" began John Hilton, with
trembling voice.
1T is just what you thought" an
swered the other. 1T is the blended
strawberry"
WORTH"
"A plant like that would be worth
about two thousand dollars" said
Price. But you must take care Of it,
John. How In the world"
John Hilton told him. The blended
strawberry, which would bear fruit all
the summer, had already been created,
six years before, by Bergback. But the
plant died, and fifty thousand cross
ings had failed to develop it again. 1t
was, in fact, sport" a cross be-
duce fruit, though it was simple mat
ter to induce luxurious growth of
leaves. John had seen the possibilities
of strawberry culture. And he, only
a commuter, toiling all day in stuffy
insurance office, had grown this won
der.
The seeds Of the strawberry would
be fertile. There was no doubt of that.
But the plant had borne only one fruit,
just as Bergback's had done. Berg
backs had died in nipping frost that
swept down upon his plantations. But
this was June, and there was no fear
of frosts any more.
"Minna!" called John Hilton excited
ly, as he saw the lilac ribbons of sun
bonnet appear at the back porch.
"Minna, come here! Come at once!"
A pretty little woman made her way
toward the excited pair. Minna Hilton
was bride of eight months. She was
still as much in love with John as when

greenhouse, and
1t was, In short, remarkable con-
spiracy against one poor strawberry.
Thursday was the day set for the ex-
pertinent, and on that afternoon Price
came to tea. Minna made them have
tea before going into the garden. But
both men were too much absorbed in
thought to eat much. In vain Minna
tempted them with her scenes and
cakes.
won't you try little more of my
jam?" she asked Price coaxingly.
"You know, it was you and Johnny
who are responsible for it,
How is that, my dear?" John asked.
why, I've made it from the best
fruit in the garden she answered,
''and put the blended strawberry in,
just as you told me"
"What?" yelled both men In chorus.
Dear me, how excited you both
are" said Minna loftily. Didn't you
tell me, Johnny. that 1t was to be pre-
served carefully"
"You-you put the strawberry-the
strawberry in that JAM" inquired John
Hilton, gazing at his wife stonily.
Eyes, Johnny. Wasn't that right?"
90, yes, it was right enough" re-
piled her husband "Only-well, you
have lost us fortune, Minna, that's
ALL"
Henry Price glared at the poor wom-
an and then, without q word, dashed
out into the hall and thrust on his hat.
A moment later the garden gate
slammed to behind him.
This sound, indicative of his final de-
parture, relieved the tension of the sit
uation. Minna put her head down
upon her folded arms. John rose up
awkwardly and came behind her and
put his arms about her.
Never mind, DEAR" he said. ut was
my fault, and you couldn't have

that old Henry Price for being so

"Minna," said John, solemnly, five
minutes later, when he had satisfied
himself that the straberry was really
there, II guess things have been
evened up now. You'll forgive old
Henry, won't you? And we'll ask him
to tea tomorrow"
"All right, DEAR" answered Minna.

EASY TO DEFEAT THIS ENEMY
Peril That Turks in the Unwashed
Hand Is Great, but There 10
One Way to Safety.

Just minute please-the most dan
gerous and vicious enemy of the homes
the family and civilized society has
again been discovered lurking in it's
lair or something equally as bad.
Every now and then, you know, this
dangerous enemy is run to earth and
exposed like gopher with fox ter
rier at its heels-and the home, the
family and modern society are rescued
in the nick of time, like the maiden
torn from the burning building by the.
picture show, says the Detroit Free
Press. On this occasion DR.. C.. E.
Langworthy of Washington tells us
that the most dangerous enemy Of our
lares and penates and other instftu-
lions is the human hand, because the
hand spreads germs, especially when
used in a none too clean state In the
preparation of food. Diseases thus
spread are likely to dash US on the
rocks of oblivion or some other Inn
movable, inert object, see? Doctor
Langworthy does not go so far as to
suggest amputation Of unclean hands
when found in the possession of cooks.
That would be rather too radical.
wouldn't it? He merely gently init
mates that to abolish this peril to
society, health and happiness cooks
would do well to cultivate the custom
of frequently bathing their hands in
clean, pure water diluted with an aka
line mixture known as soap. Easy,
isn't It? And the remedy is procur-
able almost anywhere at an expense
so small as to be within the reach OF
the leanest purse.
