DANGER THAT MEX|CANS
MAY RUSH TO AID VILLA
President and Cabinet Consider
Obstacles in Way Of Capturing
the Outlawed Leader.

The only objection to the pursuing
of Villa by American troops raised at
the cabinet meeting today was the
possibiiity that memacrs of Carranza' s
army and other Mexicans would be
persuaded by Villa to go over to his
side on the plea that the United states
was invading Mexico. The President
felt convinced however. that CarranZa
and the Mexican people could be con-
WINGED that the United states had no
idea Of interfering with the soNer-
eighty Of Mexico.

strong language was used in the cabi-
net meeting in denunclatlon OF VIVA
acts AT one time the administration was
friendly toward him, but every evidence
disappeared with his attack on Ameri-

President Wilson helped prepare the
statement given out at the w hlte ftouse
making public the decision to send the
rroons indications of the PreSldent
action began to accumulate as wofd
was received that the troops Whlcn
pursued Villa yesterday had returned
TO American soil. 1t had heen hopeu
that they would remain in Mexico and
continue after Villa. Had they cone

The admin stration realizes that the
search for Villa may be long and DIT
fcult There is little expectation that
Villa and his bandits will fight in the
open. Guerrilla warfare is almost Ger
tain to result. but the American SOL
diers will have orders TO follow Villa,

FIFTY GALLON TANK EXPLODES
WITH MATCH.
David Hughes Has Narrow Escape
While Cleaning Gasoline Barrel.

David Hughes, the Z year old son
OF Mr.. and Mrs. j. ~ Hughes had a
narrow escape from serious injury
and possibly death this week, when
he placed a lighted match over the
hole of a so gallon gasoline barrel
lie had been cleaning the receptacle
and short time before the eXplos-
ION, had dumped some refuse out of
1t which failed to light when a match
was applied 1t occurred to him that
possibly there was enough gasoline
in the tank to clean the barrel out
thoroughly if it was ignited, and to
further carry out his plan, he opened
the faucet below to give the flame
draft What gasoline was left had
evaporated forming a highly explos-
i've gas, and as soon as the flame was
applied deafening report took place.
When David finally recovered from
his surprise, he discovered that the
barrel had been blown to pieces, the
head being thrown several yards
away
Luckily no one was hurt, although
there were several children about at
the time. 1t is safe to say that David
will not take up the cleaning of
gasoline barrels as an occupa tom

The Lodge.

The lodge is an organization of
married men who are looking for
rest. 1t was gotten up in the first
place for the benefit Of husbands who
| felt the need of retreating to some
quiet spot and shaking off an attack
of dark red melancholy, surrounded
| by sympathetic friends and the blithe
bird like notes of the inner guard.
Until the lodge was invented the
husband of bright and talkatfve
! wife was not able to get away from
home long enough to think two long,
despairing Trunks. This is the one
reason why our forefathers wore such
hopeless yet resigned look, as
shown by their photographs. When
the lodge sprung up, however, it was
sprung into by thousands of subdued
husbands who otherwise never would
know how Main street looked at
night. Some men are better spring.
ers than others and leap into the
thirty-third degree, leaving in their
wake the ashes of a once happy home
and a mournful string of semiannu-
al dues.
The lodge has one of the nOblest
missions on earth, as it teaches the
nOv;tate not to skin trustful broth
err when he is looking in another di-
rcction. 1t also teaches the candidate
how to present arms with long
blue spear, but it's most important les
son is that of secrecy. No member OF
lodge has ever revealed the pass
word or that grand hailing sign of
distress without giving a pronounced
impetus to the undertaking business
The only way lodge secret ever
leaks out is through some happy
brother who rises up in bed while
sound asleep and chants the obliga-
ton into the ears of Mortified wife.
The lodge is presided over by some
dignitary who is not on speaking
terms witt the ritual, and is obiie
ed tc make up one of his own on the
spur Of the moment The most sue
c2osfu lodges are those which hav.
more Officers than the entire popnla
ticn. as shown by the last census,
which does not make it necessary to
drum out membership with an oyster
dinner The "black ball" is PERM
cious lodge device by which one tart
and irritated member can blast
to the bosom Of his family disgraced
IOI lie. IL is one VI tIe uedulleSl
weapons in existence.
The lodge does a great deal of
good without band accompaniment,
and will often sally out under cover
Of night and chop wood for some I'M
fortunate brother who has been pune
tured by corn shredder. This teach
es us that we should all join some
lodge and make the acquaintance of
a brand of charity that does not op-
crate on the four corners.-Howard
