 Downs reached Ysleta last night, several hours after the shooting, and reported that the Duran brothers, one term in the state penitentiary of New Mexico, had been running Amer ican cattle cross the border for the last few weeks. They were said to have been mutilated in various ways such as cutting off their ears, to prevent Identification.
 Duran Followed Americans.
 Downs said they were trying to get away from the Duran house when they were fired on and that Duran followed them on a horse for several miles before Akers fell. Downs said he dropped off the horse and hid in the brush. Duran, who was found leading the horses on which the Americans had tried to escape, de- clared he did not know the men were Americans until he examined the body of Akers.
 Thomas D. Edwards, American con- sul in Juarez, said today that to the best of his knowledge, Akers and Downs were not armed when they went to the bandits stronghold.

Washington Jan. 22.-So much emphasis is constantly placed upon the necessity for special care of the baby in summer, when the heat is ex- cesslve and diarrheal diseases at their worst, that the fact that winter, too has it's special dangers for the baby is sometimes overlooked.
 But the combination of heat and diarrhea is hardly more serious for the baby in the months of july and August, than are cold and respiratory diseases in winter.

THE WEAR OF COINS.
Chemical Action Has More to Do With
Il Than Has Abrasion.

In the latest report of the British
mint Sir Thomas Il. Rose, a well
known metallurgical expert, calls at
tention TO the effect OF grease derived
from the sweat of the fingers or from
other sources in accelerating the wear
If coins, which is usually attributed
entirely to abrasion.
Sir Thomas says that the fatty acids
If the grease have a corrosive action
upon the metal Copper in particular
even if present only in small quantity
as an alloy for gold or silver, is con-
verted into an oleate, stearate or other
salt.
Hagen Smit of the Utrecht mint
found by analysis that the dirt on
bronze coin contained 36 per cent of
copper In the form of powdered COM
pounds of the fatty acids. When the
coin is handled the dirt is in part de-
tached, and the coin undergoes loss
Of weight.
Gold or silver is not readily convert
cd into salts, but removing the copper
leaves the less easily attacked metals
in a spongy form that offers little re-
sistance to abrasion.
In new coins the rapid loss Of weight
that occurs is doubtless caused at first
By abrasion but when the rough edges
have been removed chemical action
may prove to be of the first impor-
lance in the succeeding deterioration.

An Anecdote of Handel.

On one occasion Handel was caught
In shower Of rain and was obliged 70
seek shelter In a blacksmith's forge
Either Handel was In a silent mood or
else the blacksmith showed no CONVEX
sauonal symptoms, for In little while
the latter began hammering away al
his anvil. accompanying his work with
a song. Handel was listening all the
time to the strokes of the hammering
on the anvil, which, by producing two
harmonic sounds, according in time
and tune with the tune the man sang,
formed bass accompaniment. Handel,
on reaching home, remembered the air
and the hammer accompaniment. He
wrote down both, and so we owe to a
shower OF rain the composition known
as THE Harmonious Blacksmith"

"HE KEPT US OUT OF WAR"

What means this cry hear on every side
That gathers volume till it is a roar
And thunders through the land from tide TO
The cry He kept US out of war?
The days of watchful waiting brought alarms
We dreaded what the future had in store,
But still they say there was no clash Of arms
And that he kept us out OF war.
Have common words their ancient meaning
lost
To make case, can we distinctions draw
That change the facts on which we lay our
boast
That he has kept US out of war?
Priest of Humanity. he claims to be,
Of Freedom on the waves from shore to
But men and women sleep beneath the sea
Though he has kept us out of war
How many Of our people have been slain
While he has written notes of classic lore
How broad and deep has grown the bloody
stain
That proves he kept us out of war
Behind his sounding phrase, his actions lag.
The days and months go by and little
is done to right the insults to our flag
Than shout, He kept US out of war"
His mind he says. runs on a single track,
But hardly does he go ahead before
switch is turned and he is running back
To shout he kept out of war.
He sent our battleships to Vera Cruz,
Where a foreign land we lost score
Must we proclaim it peaceful cruise
And say he kept out of war;
He sent our soldiers into Mexico
And many died who there our banner bore.
Shall we console ourselves, repress our woe,
And sing-"He kept out of war;
PRAY tell us what is war. if this be peace
While still the battle clouds above soar
How has he made the bloody tumult cease,
How has he kept out of war?
Ii may be what he did was done Alright
Although our name and fame have suffered /
sore
Since Re declared he was too proud 20 fight"
And that he kept out of war.
