English correspondents hired coach
and ordered the driver to take them
to the water works: he took them to
the edge OF town. got stuck in the
sand and brought the pair back In the
evening. after they had ridden -FOUR
miles There was one party OF real
war corrspondents-chaps who have
been in wars from Russia to Monte
negro-who were caught mapping, not
yet having secured horses. They rode
on street car to the edge OF town
and then started to walk the rest OF
the way in the broiling sun. They had
plenty Of ginger and energy and en-
thusiasm and bravery-three OF the
seven carried huge revolvers-and
everything was all right about their
expedition, except that they went IN
exactly the wrong direction. They
started out at noon, saw some feder-
ais through a field glass at o'clock,
at the same hour turned back TOT
Vera Cruz and reached the city again
eager to buy cold cream for sunburn.
Seven photographers seized hand
car and pumped themselves fifteen
miles along the narrow gauge rail-
road, five miles into the Mexican
lines. AS soon as they saw Mexican
fedrals they pumped themselves
back again and reached the Ameri-
can lines, exhausted. Nobody could
find the waterworks in time to see
the rumpus True, very late in the at
ternoon one war correspondent on
mule, who had lost his way. wound
up, by accidnt at the water works
and got the story Of what had hap

soldiers, dashed madly to the cable
office, only to learn that every cor
respondent in town had heard the
story and put 1t on the cable many
hours before. It had all been mat

and his staff officers, had been In con-

near the waterworks and few cor
respondents who had been forced TO
stay, broken-hearted with disappoint-
ment at headquarters, were handed
the story on silver tray. as 1t were,
hours before the war correspondents
who had gone to the front" could
get back and find out that there
hadn't been a battle and that the
Mexicans had withdrawn.

NOT RECOGNIZABLE

They were speaking of the char. acteristics of kidhood, and Miss Irene Franklin. the actress, was re- minded of the identifying marks of smallsized youngster named Jimmy.
 One afternoon Jimmys mother rushed out of the house and looked up and down the street with frightened expression floating over her features. Woman party next door. seeing the mothers distress, wanted to know why.
 Jimmy has run away from the house." answered the mother, still !anxiously scanning the scenery, and cant find him anywhere"
 He will soon be coming back" isOothingly assured the next door woman. Everybody in the neigh bOrhood knows him.
 Yes" fearfully answered the mother, but not a soul on earth will recognize him today. I have just washed him. m.'-Philadelphia Tele- graph.

PAS HEART MELTS TO HIS PUP

That dog is almost two years old now, and he's old enough to know better" snorted Pa Jenkins as he gazed wrathfully at a fresh hole dug in the pansy bed and a bull terrier who sat at safe distance.
 Hes a good deal like you.' com- mented Ma.
 "Hey?" queried Pa
 "Oh, you never get over being q boy" gurgled Ma. Sometimes think you're more of a kid now than when we were married"
 Did you lick him when you caught him digging" Pa asked. q started after him with the broom but when he rolled over on his back and put up his paws I just couldn't touch him." admitted Ma. You're so soft hearted Mike,
 come here! Look what you did." Pa pointed dramatically at the hole in
 the pansy bed. Mike cooked one ear and his tailtip was quiet. Come here. sir" commanded Pa, in his gruffest tone. You're going to get the spanking of your young life"
 Mike wriggled slowly forward He needs it." remarked Ma, with conviction. Hes spoiled almost
 everything we've planted. He dug up
 all the bulbs the day after we put them in, and he's chewed the young fruit trees we planted until I'm
 afraid they'll never amount to any thing. l thought the cat dug the hole
 under the kitchen steps, but I caught Mike doing it in a regular shower of dirt. Our back lawn was ruined be- cause Mike played tag with himself after the seed was planted. He's all
 ways upsetting the garbage pail-as we'll fed as that dog is. We just can't have a thing decent about this ] place because of that dog" During the recital of his misdeeds Mike laid on his stomach half way between Ma and Pa and sent wall eyed glances from one to the other.
 Occasionally his tail gave a convul- l sive flicker
 "Come" said Pa.
 Mike ccawIed closer-very slowly

Then he arose and sidled over to Ma. No. you don't come any of your shenanigans over me" announced Ma. You go to Pa and get your licking. You deserve it.
 Mike dropped visibly. One eye roved over to the pansy bed. He looked again at Ma and found her memorable. Then. with his whole body wagging ingratiatingly. he shambled toward Pa, seated himself on his launches before that irate gentleman and put up a paw to shake ahnds.
 "Aw, shucks." grunted Pa. T can't lick that dog,"
 Hell never behave if you don't, stated Ma. Hes just spelling for it.'
 Tell you what I'll dol" said Pa. 'Fll get a peck of red pepper and put it around everywhere. He'll keep away from that"

 They are SOME stunts. On Labor Day beside the regulation events. there will he Idiotic Events. Bill Gerig of the Sore Knee will ride his motorcycle through water half an inch deep, slide and slip and slither across the track, just to demonstrate how a 125-pound youngster can han ale 8 horsepower suspended on two wheels. Ben Rudderow. L. Boido and Jack Abbott will ride standing up on the seats of their machines. Prominent members of the club, whose dignity is more evident than their racing ability will speed over a T. mile course on the ancientest examples of the motorcycle tribe that can be dug from the basements of the shops. The club members will be asked to propound original stunts, and the reward for the best stunt will be a six months free mem bership.
 Old Dan Lane, owner of the Ari- zona- Vermont group of claims has said he will put on an extra pot of beans to his camp, and will bid the motorcyclists a hearty welcome on their Castle Hot Springs run. The camp is just off the Morristown- Castle Hot Springs road about three miles
