 This, it is assumed, may now be conveyed to the foreign diplomats l in Mexico City as well as to Huerta | himself in a manner that probably would preclude any further support i from Europe for Huerta.

In this light. diplomatists understand President Wilson's reference in his last message to matters of greater delicacy and nearer consequence' which he said were involved in the proposed repeal.

. q c c . . . . . c c Q q . . ,

Roald Amundsen. the discoverei of the Northwest passage and later the discoverer of the South pole has gained. as a result of his discover ies. probably more permanent place in history than any other liv- ing person. for a historical geography of the future will hardly be com plete without his name
 To have known such a man per sonally would be matter of much satisfaction to some people. and many d person las gone far out of his way to get look at the noted explorer
 Herman Anderson. of the firm Of Anderson Brothers X Nerland, of this city, frequently entertains his friends with a story of how Amund- sen narrowly escaped being kicked to death by horse driven by Anderson. and how the latter, not knowing who Amundsen was, criti- cised him for his carelessness
 It was while Amundsen was get ting his little sloop, the Gjoa, through the Northwest passage that he took a trip by dog team to the Yukon river to send a telegram back to Norway, informing the off cials of that country of his accom- plishments
 Amundsen came southward from the Arctic ocean, arriving at ft. Yukon about the time that the stampede was started for Fairbanks. After arriving at Ft Yukon. Amund- sen started up the river for Dawson, and it was about 50 miles above Circle that he met Herman Ander- son and Alex Larsen, who were going down the river in horse sleigh, on their way to Fairbanks.
 The horse being driven by MT. Anderson was spirited animal, fresh from the Outside, and could not be made to tolerate malamute dogs. Thus when Amundsen's dog team appeared in sight, the horse grew excited, and MT. Anderson call ed to the explorer to move to one side until the horse was quieted, but the latter failed to heed the warning. The trail was narrow where Amundsen passed the sleigh. and as he came by the side of the horse, the latter directed a vicious kick with both feet at the explorer. The kick would have undoubtedly ended Amundsen's life, had it not been that he was moving rapidly. as it was, it grazed his farka
 Amundsen stopped his dogs, and Mir. Anderson, not knowing who he was, severely criticised him for his carelessness. When MT Anderson and Mir. Larsen reached the next roadhouse, they were asked if they had met man with a dog team, and when they explained what had happened. they were informed of the identity of the explorer.
 MT. Anderson had read much con- corning MT. Amundsen, and eX- pressed deep regret that he did not know who he was when they met on the trail. And since then MT. An derson insists that the discovery of the South pole by MT. Amundsen would never have been accomplish ed, had it not been for the failure of his horse to kick straight that day on the Yukon trail.

Poor Widow S arm
 Brings Her Riches

MUSKOGEE, Okla. An eighty acre farm, with five producing oil wells on it and a $2OO,OOO bank ac- count, is the gift the year brings to Mrs Lottie Hammock, widow with seven fatherless children who three months ago were threatened with starvation.
 Mrs. Hammock's husband died some time ago, leaving her an eighty-acre farm heavily mortgaged and with poor Improvements on it. It was poor land and hopeless task for widow with seven child ren to make a living out of. But the mother struggled along with the wolf bowling closer and closer. un- til three months ago the farm was advertised for sale under a mortgage foreclosure. Then humanity inter vened.
 E. w. Kimbley. an oil man who in his day had heard diversity beat ing upon his door like an automatic riveter, heard about the widow's $ foreclosure. Kimbley at the same time was in hard luck. He had been following the fortunes of the oil field in Oklahoma for several years and his bad luck had become so proverbial that oil men had come to know him as "DryHole' Kimbley. Every oil we'll that he drilled was not we'll at all-it was dry hole. So many failures had he registered that oil men came to look upon him as a hoodoo and would not let him in on an oil proposition if they could help it, and consequently his credit was at lowest ebb. But Kimbley gathered together a little group of prosperous oil men and asked them to go in on a deal to put an oil well down on the widows land and keep her out of l lH0 pOOIuOuSc loN AOCASS oAAAASN and they found oil. and to take the loss of the well themselves if il came in a "duster."
 The oil men admired the nerve

 that Kimbley asked them to take

They have resented, to degree, the
thought of becoming objects of charity

the old home. Their friends here feel
that the move has been a wise one for
them and that they will be much better
cared for in the home at Grand Rapids
than if they remained in Bedding
