A woman's hand still loomed up to-

But the theory Of a dual person--a

VERA CRUZ, July Mexican fed
eral troops stationed six miles beyond
the American lines are in state OF
revolt. Senior Campero. the represen-
tatiye OF General Carranza, here today
declared that couriers have reached
him with information that mutiny Is
spreading like wild fire and viii reach
the capital soon. American officers
believe Campero is unduly optimistic
as to the extent Of the mutinity, but
800 federals sent word to the consti-
tutionalist representative that they
wished to surrender and declared to-
day they would march into the Amer.
lean lines and turn over their arms
and ammunition. General Funston
{ was advised Of the revolt in the fed

orders to the outposts to be on the
lookout for the federals and not to

Carranza:

not leave the American lines tonight,
but will go out to the soldiers early

The 300 soldiers who started the
revolt created wild scene in the fed

their intention Of marching into the

Deadlock Continues.
ToRRBON, Coahuila, Mexico, July
7.-Despite the serious nature of the
deadlock in the conference here be-
tween constitutionalist leaders over
demands for removal Of certain high
oficials Of provisional government,
General Villa today expressed conf
dence that the new differences woul6
be smoothed over. Delegates repre-
senting both Carranza ana Villa have
complicated the situation by these de-
mands. 1t was announced today that
the Villa faction had insisted on the
removal from ONCE Of Rafael Zubaran
Capmany, Carranza's minister of Cob
ernacion; Alfredo Breceda. his private
secretary; Gen. Jacinto Trevino, his
chief Of stan, and Isddro Fabela, in
charge Of Carranza's department Of

WASHINGTON. July Although
shy two members not confirmed by the
senate, the new federal reserve board
will probably hold It's first "organiza-
ton" meeting late this week, 1t was
stated today at the treasury depart
ment. Secretary McAdoo desires to
have the organization perfected and
the new bank system In operation
August /.
Confirmation late yesterday by the
senate Of the appointments Of Chas.
s. Hamlin. w. P. G. Harding and A. G..
Miller to the reserve board constitutes
a quorum with Secretary McAdoo and
the controller of currency, with ex-
officio members. Consideration was
resumed today by the senate commit
tee Of the appointment of Thos. d.
Jones. Chicago, and Paul NJ. Warburg,
OF New York. Sent 'meut Il the COM
mittee seemed against recommending
confirmation Of both, but democratic
leaders claimed enough votes in the
senate for confirmation. Jones' state
ment that he was personal appointee
Of Cyrus Mccormick to the director
ate Of the international Harvester
Co. and will be in sympathy with It's
policy was unfavorably commented
upon today.
The banking committee was await
ing reply from Warburg to tele-
gram requesting him to appear be-
fore the committee Thursday for a
catechism. It was reported today that
Warburg resents the proposed plan to
quiz him and may refuse the appoint
ment.
Warburg Will Not Accept.
WASHINGTON July Paul M.
Warburg, the New York banker, was
still insistent today that President
Wilson withdraw his name from con-
sideration by the senate for member
ship on the federal reserve board. In
q message sent to the white house he
made his point so definite that the
president has about decided 1t use
less to insist on the nomination be-
ing confirmed. The Warburg appoint
ment was a purely personal one with
the president as was that of Thomas
d. Jones, Of Chicago. Both now seem
doomed to failure. While no immed-
tate action will be taken by President
Wilson on Jones' name, word has
been brought to the white house by
leading democratic senators that there
is now practically no chance of over
coming the opposition to the Chicago
financier Jones' presentation Of his
own case, they say. failed to Square"

Nv Sunday School Picnic.

On June thirtieth we started from this city at a quarter to ten for a new beach a little farther than Pleas ant View called Atlantic Beach We had a very pleasant trip out, espec- ially along the Westerly road. We passed many herds of sheep grazing on the grassy hiilsides. We arrived in Westerly at a quarter past eleven, and arrived at the beach at a quarter to twelve.
 for the pavilion. Tn back of us came two tubs of Smiths delicious ice cream, and also the boxes of sandwiches and cake which we were supplied with. When we got there we sat down at the tables, and we were served with sand wiches, cake and ice cream until we could eat no more
 We afterwards started to have some fun. We all started to go down a slide that was on the beach The slide starts up in the air. you climb up a ladder and sit down. and you slide down to the foot The bottom is made of tin and there is a piece of can't slide off the edge. I went down this many times.
 Another thing they had was a see- saw. This was always in use, too was on it twice could not get il any more as 1t was full all the time the sand with nice shades over them which were very comfortable to sii under.
 Not many of our Sunday school went in swimming as the waves were too high.
 About half past three we had some more fee cream before starting for home, from a very pleasant day al Atlantic Beach.
 We were all on the car safely and a little way from the beach when a man looked to see if everybody was there on the car. He said was not on the car; because he could not see me suppose. A young man then said:
 You can't loose him." If anyone wishes to spend a pleas ant day anywhere. think Atlantic Beach you'd be a good place

Joey Joy, A Rollicking Boy
A Chase He Didn't Enjoy.

There was one story m the Bible that was fixed in the mind of Joey Joy, and he grew up wondering if it was really true It was the story about the naughty children of Jericho who were led by their curiosity to follow the prophet Elisha after the mantle. or cloak, of Elijah had fallen upon him, and he had been to the river Jordan and the waters had been healed, and going from thence and while mounting a hill this crowd of curious, wondering children cried out to Elisha: .sGo up, thou bald-hea Go up, thou bald headi" And Elisha looked back and cursed them in the name of the Lord; and there came forth two she bears out of the wood. and tare forty and two children of them
 That story excited in the mind of Joey feeling of wonder and doubt, and he thought he should like to test it to see if it was true, and he was always looking for a bald headed man going up hill to shout after in order to fetch out the bears
 Joey did not want to be torn by she bears and as they would have to catch him before they could tare him he was guessing he could give them quite a run for their game; but the combination of a bald-head6d man and a hill and a wood was never seen by Joey, so he had no chance to find out whether she bears would give him ahase if he repeated the irreverent conduct of the naughty chfldren-tfe aamins of the city of Jericho
 Joey met chum one day and he Detnted out crazy man to him and told him if he wanted to have some fun he should cry out to him Lulu afl ] T three times and he would give him chase.
 How do you know?. said Joey. "Did you ever try it ?"
 T never did" replied his chuIn, flor \ was afraid to. he might catch me
 Not if you got good start first, " observed Joey.
 If Joey couldn't get the she bears to chase him, he thought there might be something exciting by being chased by crazy man. He often met the lunatic, but he wanted to be sure the distance between them was enough to give him . good start, One afternoon just after dinner Joey saw his crazy man at one end of a city street. and he was at the other end. the distance seemed safe, ard the experiment inviting. Joey shouted;
 "Lu-lai -ai1!" and tine lunatic halted and looked his way. Then he shouted tt twice and he saw the crazy man in pursuit.
 Joey slipped around the corner and crossing street slid into short side street, but before he was one third through it the crazy man was in sight
 hot on his trail, and there was no questioning the fact he was running twice as fast as Joey could, and there seemed to be no escape. He slipped into a yard to cross to another street and as he was climbing the fence he e&W an outhouse close to # and he

Beware of the thought. i've noth- ing to dol" for that is the seed thought for the habit of idleness.
 There is always something to do in this world and we are all so ex- travagant in the waste of time.
 While we have nothing to do we might add to memory a new word, bring in a pail of water or a little wood for mother, or we might apply the moments to some useful purpose for ourselves
 Uncle Jed once heard of man who used the moments of the noon hour which most idle away, an din two years he had learned two languages besides his own, and in three years had doubled his earnings because of his knowledge.
 Uncle Jed has known two men who learned German when other men think they are too old to learn. One was a doctor past 6u who studied German and translated into English one of the ablest medical works from
