ONWARD AND UPWARD

Oh! do not waste hours in dreaming
OF things you will do by and by,
But rather go cheerily onward,
Doing the work that is nigh;
Taking the task that He gives you,
Trying no duty to shirk.
You'll find no true pleasure in
dreaming
Try, and you'll find it in work.
Life is not dreaming-it's working;
It's doing our duty each day;
It's helping to bear others burdens ;
It's trying to walk in His way.
Ever going onward and upward,
Doing our noblest and best,
Not wasting a lifetime in dreaming,
In doing, our work will be blest.
Grace Buckley.

ignate some district Judge to pre-
side in the place of Huston.
Although the opinion announced by
Judge Armstrong did not discuss the

the jury trying the Prudential Loan
Company officers for using the mails
to defraud, after being out two hours
returned a verdict of guilty in all ten
counts of the indictment. This has
been one of the longest and hardest
fought cases ever tried in federal

T. S. Downey were charged With vio-
lating Section gll5 of the penal code,

homa City under the name "Pruden-
tial Loan and Realty Company a
corporation, and later under the name
of the Prudential Loan and Trust
Company" a corporation.
They were first indicted in June,
1873, and the case was assigned for
trial at the January, 1914, term here.
It was then discovered that several
letters copied into the Indictment
had mysteriously disappeared. This
occasioned resubmission of the
cause to later session of the grand
jury, which convened in Oklahoma
City last March. at which time the
present indictment was returned.

Washington, d q, Feb 15.--The
United States government has re-
ceiyed no application from Spain FOL
joint action with other nations in tae
Mexican situation, Secretary Bryan
said last night, nor has any intima-
tion reached the state departmeap
that such step was contemplated Y
Officials learned with much inter
est of the press reports that Spain
bad addressed a communication ID
the powers on the situation in MeS-
icc. AT the Spanish embassy it was
said no word had been received from
Madrid as to the decision OF the cabi-
net: but that full report o. the ex-
pulsion from Mexico of Jose Caro-, the
Spanish minister, on which 1t Is pre-
sumed here SPANS reported action Is
based, had been sent by Mr.. Caro-
through the embassy here to the
Spanish foreign office.
The peculiar status of all Diplomatic
representatives in country wherein
no government is recognized, 1t was
believed by many officials, would
probably override the technical point
that the Spanish minister could enjoy
no diplomatic immunities because he
had not presented his credentials. 1t
wos suggested that Mr. Caro's ap-
polniment by the Spanish govern
ment would in the circumstances con-
stitute sufficient proof of his official
status for any defaeto government
and should inspire the same respect
as that usually given diplomatic rep
resentatives.
