NV What a queer looking flower.
II isn't a flower It's the rocking
chair goat When he gets tired walk
ing or awaiting for a street car. he
Just starts rolling The bone or horn
part doesn't start just above the ears:
u starts from the whiskers on his
chin up, all solid bone. That's why
he's called a goat.
The rocking chair goat will eat any
thing but tripe-that gets his goat.
Can YOU blame him?
The rocking chair goat finds his
horns more practical ass private
tiivver than they would be if made
into a nice pair OF horn-rimmed gless-
es. There are many kinds of goats
besides this one. They can be found
in offices. banks. city halls, or in the
police departments - mostly behind
the bars. But by far the greatest num-
Der can be found in congress.

more than two days, as he believes ie
Will quickly force the traction com.
panies to arbitrate with the striking
employees.
According to Bohn. the str.ke oss
drivers of the Borden Condensed Milk
Company. which began yesterday, was
due to an attempt to force upon tho
uien the master and servant" form
Of contract. Tho Borden company's
example was being followed by other
employers, he said. and would not be
tolerated. The milk drivers etrdko
would be extended to other milk COM
panies, he said.

Jitncys Do Big Business.
What few attacks there were upon
cars today were Of minor character,
according to the police. No one was
injured. Jitneys and various other
vehicles pressed into service during
the strike apparently did a thriving
business, especially on the east side
of the city, where many union SYM

"eET VILLA" ORDER RECALLED
President Wilson Revokes Command
Does Not Now Want Bandit.

Does Not Now Want Bandit.
Washington, Sept. 25. = President
Wilson no longer cares anything about
getting Villa dead or alive.
Admission Of this fact was made
here by Secretary of War N. d. Baker
following his return from campaign
stumping tour.
The admission was made in connec-
ton with an attempt by Mr.. Baker to
discredit reports forwarded by General
Frederic Funston from General George
Bell and other officers on the border
concerning the renewed activities Of
Villa in northern Mexico and particu-
larry the report made by General Bell
on the capture Of Chihuahua.
Mr. Baker fatty rejected the ver-
sion Of the capture of Chihuahua last
Saturday which General Bell transmit
ted. Mr.. Baker accepted the state
ment of the Carranza commander at
Chihuahua, General Trevino. and the
explanation offered by the Mexican en-
bassy here. These were in direct con-
tradiction of the statements made by
General Bell.
Villas spectacular comeback and the
publication Of the colorful report from
General Bell concerning 1t have COM
pletely upset the plans made by the
president and Secretaries Lansing and
Baker for general settlement of the
Mexican trouble just before election
day.
It is believed here that the Villa raid
instead of weakening Carranza's posi-
ton at New London will serve to
strengthen 1t. It Is believed here now
that Carranza will go as far as to ne
ject the proposals for joint policing
OF northern Mexico and refuse to per-
nit the conference to achieve any end
unless the whole matter is left in his
care.

The race in the National League is
