WASHINGTON, D. C., May 29.--- The delegation of Mexicans to var ous American states to arouse pub lie opinion against intervention on behalf of North American capital ists in Mexico is likely to have far reaching and dangerous effect. This is admitted, and may result in Q rupture of the good will and ami cable feelings which have been fost- cred with difficulty through the ope- ration of the Pan-American Con- gress. It has always been recog- nized here that any American inter- vention in Mexico would be likely to lose great and profitable trade with other American nations, ana the proposed agitation may have serious results.

PIERCE THE TIN CANS
AND SWAT MOSQUITOES.
Small Boys Told to Sec That No Water
10 Left Standing.

DR.. Charles F. Boiduan. who has been
designated spring poet of the New York
health department, got busy the other
day and produced this just as sample
of what he can do:
Mother lend me the hammer;
Mother give me the pick.
For i'm mosquito slammer-
These two will do the trick.
Knock all the bottles on the head.
Pierce through the cans tin bottoms,
And soon all the skeeters will be dead.
And you'll not have to swat 'em.
This effusiOn was written as an in
spiration to small boys, who, if they
follow the advice of Health Commits
sioner Emerson. will arm themselves
with hammer and the ice pick and go
in search of tin cans and bottles.
For" say the Instructions issued by
the department, "a tin can half filed
with stagnant water will easily breed
over 200 mosquitoes. Old bottles and
broken crockery are also prolific sources
of mosquito breeding. and the health
departments bureau of public health
education therefore suggests utilizing
the destructive instinct Of boys in its
campaign"

the yard with both ends out and the

1t rained so hard into that bunghole
that water couldn't run out of both
ends fast enough. and it swelled up
and busted!'
Then Reuben Henry spoke up. He
said he'd never seen it rain very hard,
but he'd seen some mighty cold wealth

Apples and Sense.

Two large orchards, side by side,
brought much profit to Farmer Tur-
nut and much trouble. For the or
chards were considered fair game by
the youth of the village, and two or
chardS are harder to watch than one.
One day, looking from one orchard to
the other, Turmut saw small boy shin
down a tree and. uttering a word of
warning to another imp still up among
the apples, ran Off.
Turmut reached that tree in record
time.
Got yer this timer he roared to
the boy almost hidden among the
leaves. Come DOWN.
Getting no answer and not being IN
a hurry, he sat down and waited. Time
passed, and still he waited, until a
servant brought him note that had
just been dropped through the letter
box. He did not wait after he had
read it, as follows:
Some people as apples, some as
sence. You bin wotchin pare Of
trowsis stuffed with straw and we bin
gettln your apples from the other or
chard. Crate victery for sence!-Lon-

John Barrett was only twenty-seven
years old when President Cleveland
appointed him minister to Siam. The
first important task which confronted
the youthful envoy was to press q
claim against the Siamese government
for $1.Oo0,000, Experienced ambassa-
doris warned him against using threats
in obtaining the money. BE cunning;
avoid arrogance" they said.
THAT is responded Mr.. Barrett,
you favor tickling with a straw to
pricking with a bayonet."
The statesmen nodded assent.
When the young minister had finally
succeeded in collecting the claim the
ambassadors asked in establishment,

though, before they agreed to pay it."
