1t were. but all in vain She couldn't put on enough
adipose tissue to figure in an avordupoia competition. A
day or SO ago the youth sued the maiden for a return
of the engagement ring. he claimed that she had failed
to come up to weight specifications and hence he had
declared the contract OF. She testified that she had
made every effort To take on flesh. She ate; SIX or seven
meals a day and f%atforming foods until her system re.
belled. She could not overcome what she called sat.
tenuated tenderness" but what he unchiyalrously, dub.
bed "skinniness." The Jury decided that she had done
the best she could and told her to keep the ring as a
birthday present.
Thus fate plays queer pranks with US all. The fat in.
diyidual is always striving, unless he or she be q gour.
mand. to reduce in weight and each added pound is re.
corded with anguish. The skinny or attenuated OF ca.
daverous individual! does his or her level best to take
on weight and fails. In all the walks Of life we want to
be what we are not and do what we can't. The come.
dian sees himself Q ~tragedian' and vice versa; the poet
wants to be a playwright and the playwright a sculptor
and the sculptor a scientist. And SO through life and its
varied phases. We want what we can't get, but it by
any chance We do get 1t somehow something has taken
away the bloom and the realization is dull and unln-
t%eresting compared to the delights OF anticipation.

A BAD SITUATION.

TUsT as the people of the country are congratulating
themselves over the restoration Of amicable relations
y with Germany they are stirred to Indignation by re.
ports Of the invasion of American soiltby bands of armed
Mexcans, approximately $500. in number. Most Of these
invaders are bandits, but 1t seems that a considerable
portion is made up of deluded creatures who imagine
that they can regain the territory ceded by their country
to the United States As a result of the invasion Ameri.
can citizens have been killed, public and private proper.
ty has been destroyed and horses and cattle. have been
stolen.
Naturally tho people dwelling in the little towns on
the American side of the Rio Grande are In a state OF
unrest and alarm, fearing that their communities will be
attacked by one or more Of these bands Of miscreants.
They do not fear defeat II it comes to a fight, but, know.
Ing that those near and dear. to them would be put in
peril, they fear for their safety il bullets suddenly begin
to fly. True. there are state and national troops along
the border, but the numerous raids show that there are
not enough on guard, for much damage is done before
the raiders can be. caught and punished.
Now, it matters not what the motive Of the invaders
may be. whether loot or recovery Of lost territory, for the
situation has become intolerable. As there Is no Mexi.
can government to hold responsible for these armed in.
cursions it develops upon the military authorities to take
such measures as may be necessary to assure peace and
safety on the American side of the Rio Grande. This,
OF course, will require an increase, probably a large one,
OF the force now in the field, but, no matter what the
cost, the lives and properties OF the people. Of Texas must
be protected.

THE BUSINESS SITUATION.

TIME business conditions OF the United States remain
about the same today as a month ago, ac-
= cording to reports taken from all over the country.
ms reports indicate slight Improvements with large
crops In sight, manufacturing in certain special lines
stimulated by foreign orders and money still reasonably
easy and plentiful.
Boston reports increased emergency orders during the
past month with considerable effect directly or indirectly
on all lines o. general trade; but notwithstanding this
increase In trade the department stores and retail stores
Of the city report business is far below normal; while
unsettled labor conditions are greatly h%ampertng the
msnufacturers OF 1.-THE district.
New York reports that business in the iron, steel, wool
md leather trades is flute active, which activity has been
induced through foreign orders y meet the demands of
war across the water. Bank clearings have increased
over July In some little measure, while stock transac-
lions were larger In volume. NJ
Philadelphia has little optimistic to report for theNast
month OF trade. mot exact general improvement has
appeared, and the outlook for the future is uncertain
Is the gist o. the report made from the Quaker City on
the business world for the last month. Emergency bus.
mess in iron and steel is holding UP. and there is hope
that this may induce general activity in other lines of
trade. One pleasing feature of the past month is the
fact that the railroad traffic has picked up some. The
railroads are about as good barometers of business as
one can fnd. and when the railroads Of the country are
running full and freight is heavy. one may take It for
granted that there is some business going on in the
land.
heppft5 uOm otneE sections VI me country are III
substance the same as those quoted above. There is a
general feeling that something is going to break in the
near future that will make for better business condi,
lions all over the country; but just when this break is
going to come no one is willing to venture an assertion.
The local business situation has not changed much
IN; the last month. Fairmont business houses are not
doing the volume of trade that they should be doing
and would be doing in normal times at this season of
the year. Thesb best that can be said of business in this
city Just now Is that 1T is fair, or, it might be worse.
Merchants are hopeful that the fall trade will be heavy.
and that by the holidays business will be on the in.
crease sufficiently to insure a good Christmas trade.
The best We can do at this time is to assume an at.
titude Of .watchfull waiting for the return Of our long
lost friend, Big Business.
