MEXICAN PROGRAM
| There has been much specula-
ton of late as to the final dis
position Of Mr.. Huerta, of Mexi-
co. But it seems that the spec
ulat!on has come too early, for
/ Mr.. lluerta is not yet in a posi-
ton to be disposed of. But
sooner or later the tide must
turn and Mr.. IIuerta must
meet his fate. What this fate
will he connot be foretold with
any degree of certainty, but
when one studies the Mexican
character it is very likely that
he will meet the same fate as
| that of his predecessor, the muir
dered Madero.
Hon. Xapata, one of the rebel
leaders in the Southern part of
Mexico has arranged a program
for the elimination of Mr.. Huer-
ia and has made his plans public
According to this program HUI
erta is down for a life. like repre-
scntatIOu of man being hanged
at the front door of the court
house, and this scene, according
to the program is warrnted to be
a thriller. The Hon. Mr.. Blan-
Quet, one of lIuerta's chief as
SistantS is placed down for an
other important role. somewhat
similar to that of his chiefs,
and /apata, guarantees that
there will not be a dry eye in
the house when this character
puts on his farce speciality. The
remainder of Huerta'S cabinet
are booked for dramatic de-
nOuhcement, entitled Against
the Garden Wall" Xapata says
that these cabincteers will be
shot after being judged. The
Judging part, we presume, is
inserted merely to fill out the
program and TO prolong the in
terest of the participants.
And we will wager that Zapata
carries out his program to the
letter if he ever gets his chance. |
Then We will be confronted with |
Mexican situation Just
as bad if not little worse than
the present one. Verify, Mex
leo Is in sore straits. With her
credit gone, with muir
derer occupyingthe Presidential
chair and declaring himself die
tator. with the human wolves in
the North and South ready to

conditions and making her the

You are old, Mrs Ibycus, wrinkled

And still YOU are going the pacr;
Your actions are scnadalous- r, ally.

They know you all over the place.
You doll yourself up like q kid of

You tango Fl, M morn to night:
You wear out your partners, YOU

You run after boys that are just out

You trot with your daughters young

Forgetting that chickens may do as

Oh, rub off the rouge Of your giddy

And send back your drinks to the bar!

With more air and sun and ground
we end fewer instances of immortality

True, we cannot at once lncontinent-

into the green world whenever the
wind sets from pleasant quarter; but
for all thar there are many steps that
we may take toward re-establishing
our divine heritage and rightful por.

STRANGE Facts About Sleep.

No scientist can explain what sleep
really is. Most human beings sleep on
their sides. with the knees drawn up;
elephants always and horses COM
monty sleep standing up. Bats sleep
head downward, hanging by their hind
legs Birds. with the exception Of
owls and The hanging parrots OF India,
sleep with their heads turned tailward
over the back and the beak thrust
among the feathers between the wing
and body. Storks, gulls and other long
legged birds sleep standing on one leg.
Ducks sleep on open water To avoid
drifting shoreward they keep padding
with one foot, thus making them move
In a circle. Sloths sleep hanging by
their four feet. the head tucked In be-
tween their fore legs. Foxes and
wolves sleep curled up. their noses and
the soles of their feet closed together
and blanketed by their bushy tails.
Hares, snakes and fishes sleep with
their eyes wide open Owls. In addi-
ton to their eyelids. have a screen
that they draw sideways across their
eyes to shut out the light, for they
sleep In the daytime. No one knows
whether insects sleep or not. Man is
the only animal that ever sleeps on its
back.-New York World.

A Spoiled Scene.

e. H. Sothern once found his wit fail
him in time of need. 1t was in the
fourth act of The Lady of Lyons. >
Sothern played Claude Melnotte, and
Virginia Harmed was cast as Pauline.
Beausant, the villain. was pursuing
Pauline, and she cried loudly for help.
Claude is supposed to dash to her res
cue and catch the fainting Pauline in
his arms. Sothern dashed on to the
stage, but slipped and slid. sitting
down near the footlights. Losing his
presence of mind, he acclaimed the
line: Look up. Pauline. There Is no
danger" AS Virginia Harmed was
standing, this was. of course, an i'm
possibility. By this time the audience
was In an uproar, and when Arthur
