The people Of the United States are
with their president in whatever
course he may determine upon in
Mexico. The time for politics has
gone in this connection. II Is now
a question OF patriotic unity and the
senator or congressman who raises
his voice In opposition TO the head of
the nation in time OF international
complications is not patriot.

i ~ has made the misfortune that
would have driven many an
other into the depths of poverty yield
him an Independent business and
earnings three times as great as he
had ever before received.
Sullivan was a trainhand. He lost
his right arm in an accident in the
yards When he came out of the hos
pital the railroad company offered
him Crossing to watch" at sS5 a.
month Connie had always made good
wages and he did not think much of
q s35 job. So he took account of
stock. He had been of a saving dis
position and he found that after all
expenses of his illness had been paid
he had left in bank SIPS.
Against the advice of his friends he
cut loose from the railroad and pur-
chased a fruit and news stand with
the money in bank. The stand ha
since grown TO a prosperous store.
Connie is 30 years of age, has a per-
manent business and his earnings are
triple what they were as q trainman.
The lesson in this is that Sullivao
saved and practiced thrift In his days
Of plenty. He laid something by for
that rainy day" that is bound to
