THEIR LONG MARCH ENDED
Mexican Refugees From Ojinaga Have
Reached Railroad on the Way
to Fort Bliss.

Maria, Tex.-Footsore, ragged, al
most famished from their three-day
march on foot of sixty-seven miles
over a wind-swept mountain road, the
$500 Meyican federal soldiers and
generals routed from Ojinaga, Mexico,
by the rebels, with 1.067 women and
about 800 children and infants, have
arrived at Maria, whence thtey are
to be transported by train to Fort
Bliss at FL PaSo.
The ragged remnant of the Huerta
army, which sought asylum in this
country rather than face possible ex-
termination by the rebels, will be for
mally interned at Fort Bliss as wards
of the government. They are to be
held there Indefinitely on the footing
of prisoners of war. 1t will be the
first time the American army has been
called upon to shelter, feed and clothe
an entire division of a foreign army
which includes six disarmed generals.

LEAN MEN.

A prominent Methodist bishop In
quoted as having warned the people
of a certain congregation against put
ting their trust In lean men The
lean man, he says, takes himself too
seriously. is inclined to be hypercriti-
cal and to regard himself self-appoint-
ed inspector of the universe. The
good bishop draws conclusions too
sweepingly. There are lean men and
lean men; some lean, perhaps, through
meanness, others through heredity or
chronic Illness. We protest against
the generalization that because a
mans waistline is scant his character
is warped. says the Cleveland Plain
Dealer The old dictum that nobody
loves a fat man" should not be re-
versed SO abruptly, as if there was
nothing to be said on the other side
Girth, like a bald head, is but poor
index of what is In the heart One
greatly fears that the bishop is a ro-
tund gentleman who falls into the
quite natural error of believing that
some necessary relationship exists be-
tween his own physical proportions
and his own undoubted qualities of
grace. 1t has always been hard for
cross-eyed man to understand that
any beauty or virtue attached to eyes
that were straight.

WONDERED WHY.

Many pale, sickly persons wonder

and drank it every day. i never had

About five years ago my health
completely broke down and 1 was con-
fined to my bed. My stomach was in
such condition that could hardly take
sufficient nourishment to sustain life.
During this time I was drinking
coffee, didn't think I could do without
It.
AFTER awhile I came to the conclu-
sion that coffee was hurting me, and
decided to give 1t up and try Postum.
When it was made right-dark and
rich-I soon became very fond of it.

Gen. Salvador Mercado, when his
soldiers tumbIed off the trains which
brought them from Maria, Tex, still
was commander of his troops, but his
authority was subordinate to that of

Mrs. Henry Preston White was feay-

walk a pitiful wall reached her ears.
Turning, she perceived her little five
year-old SON leaning far out of the
second-story window.
"Motheri motheri" he cried. please
promise me. won't you, mother ?
Promise mel"
Mrs. White ran back in much alarm
into the house and up the stairs.
Darling, tell mother what is the
matter" she pleaded.
"Oh. mother. promise me-" he
sobbed.
Anything, darling, anything
Promise me that you'll be good
mother, while you're in town." he said,
and began to dry his tears.

WILL MAKE HASTE
The WORK ALONG AS MUCH
AS POSSIBLE.
SESSION TO END BY JULY |
All Legislative Business, 1t Is Expect
ed, Will Be Completed by That
Time-To Enter
Campaign.

Washington, d. C.-Congress has
much business to transact before it
undertakes consideration of antitrust
legislation 1t is the aim of Demo-
cratic leaders to shorten the session
as much as possible.
With the congressional campaign
coming next fall, and the Republicans
and Progressives already active, the
majority leaders are insistent that
all legislative business be disposed of
before July 1 at the latest, that every
man can be in his district to fight for
retention of a Democratic majority in
both houses of the next congress.
The fact that senatorial contests,
under the direct elections amend
ment to the constitution, are pending
in many states, makes the situation
more urgent from a campaign stand
point
President Wilson, as the leader of
the dominant party, is as eager as
the chieftains in congress to limit the
session as much as possible and all
are pulling together to expedite legis-
lative matters. Conferences on a leg
islative program will be held in the
near future.
1t is practically certain appropria-
ton bills and many other important
matters will be out of the way before
the trust program is ready. Anon &
the most important measures pending
are the Alaskan Railroad Bill, which
will pass the senate soon, rural credit
legislation, to be undertaken by the
banking and currency committee
soon; regulation of stock exchanges
as proposed in the Owen Bill upon
which public hearings are to begin
February 4, and the Panama Canal
tolls question.
With the Alaskan Bill out of the
way Senator Smith of Georgia will
press the Agricultural Extension Bill,
which would provide ultimately an an
nual appropriation of 100000 to be
expended through the state agricul-
tural colleges in educating the farm
ers of the country along advanced
agricultural lines. An amendment to
increase the ultimate appropriation
to $5,0O0,00O offered by Senator Sim
mons of North Carolina is pending.

Representative Good of Iowa, a mem

mittee, said that the books of the
treasurer were two months behind,
that an apparent discrepancy of mil
lions existed in the ledger balances
as compared with the cash balances
of the accounts with National" banks
and that the entire accounting sys-
tenn of the Treasury Department was

"Nation Faces Big Losses"
The request of the department for
thirty additional clerks caused Mr..
Good and other members of the house
committee to quiz closely officials of
the Treasury Department, and a sur
prising condition of affairs was re
vealed.
Mr.. Good, who has personally fol-
lowed up the committee inquiry, ex-
planned the unprecedented situation.
"A most serious condition exists in
the accounting divisions of the Treas
ury Department said Mr.. Good.
THE government actually faces heavy
losses with the Treasury's books in
their present shape.
THE trouble began with the inaugu-
ration of a new bookkeeping system.
The Treasurers accounting offices put
in a certain design of punching ma
cE:nes, which registered the checks,
and the books then were posted from
the punching machine cards.
