Lewis Sydney Morey, commander of
X troop of the Tenth Cavalry, who, it
was believed, died of loss of blood
and thirst in a desert two miles from
the scene of the encounter between
American and Mexican troops at Car
rial, has made his way back safe to
the American lines, according to a
wireless message received by his wife
and transmitted to General Funston.
Mrs Morey, who is at Austin, Tex,
repeated the message to General
Funston over the telephone 1t read:
Somewhere in Mexico-Am back
on the line with two men; safe" The
message was signed Sydney"
That, according to Mrs. Morey, was
the manner in which Captain Morey
signed all communications to her.

scene of the fight at Carrizal after his
forces had been broken and scattered.

who had come out from Carrizal dur
ing parley over permission for the
Americans to pass through the town;
how the Mexicans had opened fire and

SOME CREDIT DUE TO HARRY
Recovery of Needed Money Could Not Be Called Altogether an Act of
 Providence.

Three or four years before he was married he had, in a reckless moment, loaned to a good friend the trifling sum of $l00. A year later he had be- gun to throw out gentle hints that he knew of a good dividend-paying stock he could buy for $100 a share But Good Friend didn't come across. When he was about to buy furniture for his new home he plainly told Good Friend he needed the coin, but that individual changed the subject After he had settled down to the hum-drum of mar ried life he and his wife often would speak of the many nice things they could buy with that $100.
 She was firm believer in Provi- dence, he was somewhat infirm. One day he lost his job, and the weeks went by, and he didn't find another. Then his wife took sick; her mother came to live with them-things went from b. to w, generally, and he talked of shooting himself His wife told him to cheer up, to be brave, and not to despair-the Lord would provide for them. Trust in Providence, she said. And the very next day, after that little sermon, 9 letter came to him, with a check for $100 enclosed.
 Didn't I tell you?" she cried. Didn't I tell you? It's the hand of Providence, Harry, nothing else!"
 Then I'm Providence" he said, flor l wrote Bill letter 'tother day and told him if he didn't come up I'd come down and take that hundred out of his hide, with compound interest, even if l went to the pen for it!"

In a Small Room,

When a bedroom or small dressing room is papered with anything but a plain or neutral paper, bright-colored or fGWered chintz should never be used, but often little color is needed to add tone to the room. In a case of this kind one of the new bedspreads which are so pretty and easily made is just the thing to give the neces- sary color. Select a plain, white spread of good quality and rather heavy.
 Cut from chintz a bunch of roses or spray of gay-colored flowers, and baste one in each corner, with larg- CT one for the center. Sew to the spread and finish the raw edges with fine feather stitch or with a long and short buttonhole stitch.
 This idea can be carried out for scarfs to cover the dressing table and bureau. Make the scarf of linen cut to fit the top of each and finish the edges with a scallop or a hem and finish this with the stitch that was used on the spread. Cut out the flow CTS and applique to the edges of the scarf Punches of the same flowers can be added to the corners of the white curtains with good effect.

PRODUCTION OF BEEF CATTLE
On Account of Great Possibilities for Profit Industry Is Receiving
 Attention in East,

From the descriptive pamphlet is- sued by an Angus breeder in New York state, we clip the following:
 Beef production on eastern farms has not until recently received the at tention that on account of it's great possibilities for profit it deserves. A new and widespread interest is now being given to the subject and the tremendous opportunities it presents are being made clear.
 At the present level of prices for beef, the returns to the producer show good margin of profit, and the best authorities are of the opinion that prices will be maintained and in- creased

Wool Does Not Afford All Protection Necessary During Winter as Gen
 orally Believed.

It was formerly quite generally thought that the sheep's wool afforded it all the protection necessary during the winter, If the fleece could be kept dry it probably would retain enough body heat to keep the sheep warm, but this is impossible without shelter. When a fleece once becomes wet it takes long time for it to dry out, especially If the weather is cold.
 Much energy that would otherwise be used for growth or fattening must be used for evaporatipg this water. The wet fleece also gives rise to un- healthy conditions.
 In Great Britain little housing is necessary, but in most places in Amer ica this would result in severe losses.

New Colors in Middies.

The middy for young girls has made more and more of a place for itself. Even the long and really ungraceful smock of last year has grown into a middy by appearing much shorter this year and without so much fullness, so no belt is necessary. Plain reseda green with white collars and cuffs, also the all-over pink or light blue are in the spring showings in one shop for $l.25, really lovely Colors, and in another shop for the same price are broad striped ones, brown and white, black and white and green and white The short smocks come in heavenly pastel shades, smocked in white and big white polka dots are embroidered on the collar. These cost $2.9S. The real yearning of a tailor made girl goes to white flannel middy-Nor- folk-with plaits and wonderful pock- cts, and all beautifully tailored. It costs $5.
