Says Lind Will Return.

Although the President has said Mr.
Lind would return to Vera Cruz after
D." had obtained d rest and vacation in
the nj | States. many observers think
he never will go back, as there has been
Il disposition for many weeks on the part
Of the Washington government TO re-
Train from diplomatic activity while the
military forces of the constitutionaISts
and federals struggled for supremacy
The prospect of even more vigorous war
fare and the unwillingness OF either fac
ton 10 accept any proposals fer COM
promise or mediation has caused the
American government to assume an a.ti-
tude of strict neutrality. That This DO
s!uon will be continued indefinitely is
probable, unless injury TO foreigners or
some other unloOked-for emergency
causes embarrassment
In the attention that has been concen-
trdted on the battle at Torreon, the Ben
ton and Nergara cases have been prac-
tcally lost sight of, but there is every
indication that with the battle over and
when another reimbursement of military
forces ensues further information will be
sought from both the constitutions lists
and federal chiefs as to the course they
intend to pursue in satisfaction of in
Juries inflicted by their subordinates

TkD'S CHRISTMAS THEATER.

"Wen, my boy, don't know that

dent There are plenty OF them,
suppose, in the toy shops"
"Oh, but don't want toy theater,"
protested the youngster. II want a real
one. There isn't any reason why we
shouldn't have theater In the White
House"
Mr.. Lincoln was not at first disposed
to take the suggestion favorably, but
Tad, who was bis favorite child and
at that time eleven years old, was per
sistent, and at length the indulgent
parent yielded. This was just before
the Christmas Of 1S63-too late to have
the theater ready for the holidays.

The Three Kings.
By HENRY W. LONGFEI.LOW.

Three kings came riding from far away
Melchior and Gaspar and Baltasar
Three wise men out OF The east were they
and they travelled by night and they s,epi
by day.
For their guide was a beautiful. won
derful star.
The star was so beautiful. large and cIea,
That all the other stars of the sky
Became white mist in the atmosphere
And by this they knew that the coming
was
or the Prince foretold in the prophecy
Three cask"ts they bore on their saddle
Three casNets of gold with golden KEYS
Their robes were Of crimson silk with
rows
Of heiIs and pomegranates and furbelows
m(rheir turbans like bossoming almond
\ trees
And 80 the three kings rode into the west
Through the dusH Of night. over hill ami
dell
And sometimes they nodded with beard
on breast
And sometimes talked as they paused to
rest
With the people they met at some way
side well
"Of the child that is born said Baltasar.
Good people. ! pray you tell us the
news.
For We in the east have seen his star
nd have ridden fast and have ridden far
yro find and worship the King Of the
Jews"
And the people answered. You ask in
vain:
We know of no king but Herod tn.
Great"
They thought the wise men were men in
sane
AZ they spurred their horses across the
plain
Like, riders In haste who cannot wait
And when they came to Jerusalem

My old friend Mr.. Glumm declares
That holidays are all a sell:
They interfere with our affairs
And cost lot OF cash as we'll
And yet his words cannot provoke

Than view the world like Mr.. Glumn
He vows that festival events
Are but rehearsals for III health
He tastes no pleasant condiments
Unless. perchance, tits done by stealth
But cen dyspepsia cannot make

And never a word Of reproach was

Late In an afternoon OF October the
warden of the county Jail stood smok-
ing in the doorway of his Office.
In the wide street of the little south
ern town quiet reigned.
Two dogs were wrangling happily
over bone. Farther along crowd
OF boys were playing with ball.
A keeper came out and stood beside
the warden, who paid no attention to
him. The old man coughed slightly
and touched his superior on the arm.

Single Tax to Restore Revenues.
If permanent additional revenue
measures are made necessary by the
war to substitute for the losses that
may be expected at the customs
houses for the next 10 years, Repre-
sentative Warren Worth Bailey sug-
gests that the increase be met by a
land tax. Mr.. Bailey, who is an ar
dent singletaxer believes that the gold
en- opportunity for the application of
the singletax is at hand. and he advo-
Gates a distribution of taxation among
the states according to population
There is this much" said Mr..
Bailey, about a land value tax. 1t
will stay where it is put. 1t will not
hamper or discourage industry. 1t
will not tend to reduce wages or the
profit of manufacturing. On the con-
trary, it will tend strongly to increase
activity in every line of human activ-
ity and thus to advance wages to
make industry more attractive.
"In my judgement, indirect taxation
Is a curse and always makes for ex-
travagance. for profigacy, for corrup-
ton and for the diversion of public
funds for private gain. Were federal
revenues raised by the direct methods
prevailing we should have the same
vigilance in watching public eXpendi-
lures as we observe in local affairs.
Most people imagine that Uncle Sam
is rich in his own right and that the
treasury from which he draws is bot
tomless. The people however, are the
ones who are paying the freight, and
the poor people at that"

NJ. l.. asks: Do you recommend
salol for rheumatism? Is salol a min

Salol is n chemical compound of

much wood and is cut by circular
saws, smoothed by planes and bored
into with much the same sort of tools
as are used by woodworkers. By all

These stones are about the size of
dried peas and are set in pairs in in

these saws will eat its way through
limestone at the rate of II inches

the diamond teeth are taken out AMI
