M|L|T|AMEN TO RETURN
IF TROOPS QUIT MEXICO
Will Be Mustered Out of Service
When Regulars Are Withdrawn
From That Country.

According to officers at the War De-
partment, all the national guardsmen
in the service of the federal govern
ment on the Mexican border undoubt-
eddy will be sent to their home sta
lions and mustered out, shortly after
the regular troops under the command
of Gen. Pershing are withdrawn from
Mexican territory. That statement ap-
plies. of course, to the units of the
District National Guard, as well as to
all other militiamen on frontier serv-
ice.
There are about 10000 militia troops
OH the border Gen. Pershings punt
tive army is about 1900 strong. Its
withdrawal from Mexico and it's use in
the general patrol of the border line
depend entirely on Developments in
the Mexican situation, and primarily on
the conclusion of a satisfactory agree
ment by the joint commission at At
lantic City.

Children Take Station Seriously.

Miss Kills. cited a number of cases
showing the seriousness with which
the children take" the station. She
told of bright little fellow who lost
his white card. with which he pro-
cured his favorite fiction works. He
was unable to afford to pay the 10
cents necessary to secure a new one
and was generally unhappy until Miss
Hills offered him a free card provided
he would take the best of care of 1t.
new card that there IL not q spot Of
dirt upon it.
One boy who visits the station gets
only one book a week. which is all
he has time to read. owing to the fact,
al he explained to Miss Hills, that he
goes to the Corcoran Gallery of Art as
often as possible to study charcoal
drawing. He IS about twelve years
old. One of the girls learned GRO
cheting by means Of book she Sc
cured from the old station.
Miss Hills stated that q branch IL
brary in Georgetown. with a greater
range OF selection and better accommo-
dations than q station, would be sue
cessful, for she has noticed that many
adults living in that territory desire
do the children. As rule, an entire
evening must be spent simply to go to
the main building to secure the book.
The library stations are being estab-
nshed under the general direction of
Miss Clara Herbert. director of the
/ children's department of the Public
Library.

Georgetown Branch Is Opened
in Anthony Hyde School.
Many Children Visitors.
MISS 6. NJ. HILLS IN CHARGE

The new library station in the An
thony Hyde School, in Georgetown.
known as library station No. 2. was
opened this morning as part Of the
chain Of public library stations which
DR.. George L. Bowerman, librarian. is
projecting throughout the city. The
new station, which is located in a large
vacant classroom on the second floor
Of the building, is taking the place
Of the former station. which was found
to be insufficient to meet the demands
placed upon it.
The new station is in charge of Miss
Grace ". Hills. and is open only Sat
urday mornings from until 1880
o'clock. At present there are about
500 books On the shelves.
"a large station is a positive necessity
in this section" said Miss Hills this morn
ing. THE children living near here. as
rule. are unable to get downtown to the
main building. and in many cases are too
young to be allowed to make the journey.
They are taking advantage of every
facility offered here she went on. 1T is
amazing to see how several Kindred chill
dren hoclsed to the old station every Sat
arday morning. Sometimes groups of
them would be on hand long before open
ing time. This morning hundreds of
children came to take advantage Of the
Increased number Of books and better &C.
commodations
Method Of Drawing Books.
Children desiring to be allowed to
take out books must be registered at
the station in the same manner as at
the main library building. They are
given a white card, with which they
may draw out one book OF any kind,
and green card. with which they
may draw out two books Of non-fic-
ton. The books may be kept out two
weeks, after which a small fine is as
main building or at any station, but
books must be returned at the place
from which they are procured
Miss Hills said this morning that the
children show extremely good taste, as
a rule, In selecting books The boys
seem particularly fond of books of ma
ture and electricity and Of higher class
fiction.
The girls prefer books on household
work and lighter fiction works. The
from the station run from eight to
fourteen years. and Miss Hills stated
that proportionately. at least. they
show better taste In drawing out books
than their eldSrA mere are rev
fiction works for adults on the shelves,
which the children often draw for their
parents.
The books are arranged by grades:
that Is, certain ones are recommended
for children IN the fourth grade, and
other books for those in higher grades
in school. The books are changed
every week, and every month twenty
i've new ones are sent out from the
main library. AS a general rule, books
recommended by the children are pro-
cured.

New Method in Dentistry - No Pain
While Workinu on the Teeth.

DR.. Fred w. Horton, who has just
opened verp elaborate dental parlors
ever Smiths music store at 10 East
Main street, has installed one Of the
new machines to administer nitrous
oxide, sometimes called Laughing
gas This feature will be greatly ap-
preciated by his patients as the new
way of taking gas may be used by
any one without danger, and the doctor
has also provided for competent ply
sician to administer anesthetics.
DIR. Horton has made a study Of
the new methods of using gold inlay
and porcelain filings which match the
natural color Of the teeth. The filings
are made and polished before being put
in the mouth, insuring better work and
less time spent in the chair.
The public should go up and have
the doctor explain these new methods,
for they will be greatly appreciated by
those who need dental work. DR..

An Easy Choice.

Bishop Sanford Olmsted said at a
dinner party in Denver:
THE charge that the church is gov
erned by mercenary motives Is an in
sidious one. I think this charge was
best answered by the prison chaplain.
"a chaplain was addressing con-
gregation of prisoners many of whom
had given more than one proof that
they were protiting by his visits But
there was a certain rough. brutal look
ing fellow who always scoffed and
sneered. And today this fellow, when
the chaplain greeted him, said:
"'No. don't want to shake hands
with you. parson. You only preach
for money"
every good. my friend! have It So
the chaplain answered. I preach for
money You steal for money. Let
God choose between us. "-Denver
