The little fellow turned his head and
in n very dignified ann replied. II

The little fellows aroused

the chaps attention and said. We'll,

The Defect In His DRESSING.

The professor of surgery in one OIL
England's universities has the reputa.
ton of being one of the most painstak-
ing and delicate operators in Britain,
thoughtful Of the patient and careful
in the clinic. One day in the course of
a clinical demonstration he turned to a
student who had just commenced his
studies with the question:
Now. sir. can you tell me what is
wrong with my d~ressing"
The ingenious youth turned red and
preserved a discreet silence. The pro-
fessor. however, was not to be put off
and repeated the question. After a
long pause the youth stammered out in
a fit Of desperation:
well. sir. if you insist on my telling
you. l should say your tie is a little off
color and is not quite straight"

that the ak was shockingly dull. So.

There are some mighty peculiar
things about. the Wilson policy in
regard to Mexico. Secretary BRYAN
admits that an embargo against the
importation of arms into Mexico from
the United States has been in effect
for some time, yet a Ward line
steamer was allowed to depart from
New York with a cargo of 5000, 900
rounds of ammunition and an aero
plane consigned to the constitution
lists, and when Huerta announced his
attention of attempting a blockade of
the port of Tampico to intercept it
the U. S. fleet of war ships was
ordered to prevent his doing so and
allow the cargo to be landed. A
German vessel was also allowed to
land big consignment of ammuni-
s9ion, machine guns, etc., for Huerta,
at Puerta. There has been a lot of
blufhng, apparently upon the part of
all hands concerned in this measly
mess.
