Senior Alberto J. Pani, OF the Mexican
ENJOYS will take it to first chief Car
rama for his approval. Pending
Pants return from Mexico, the confer

The agreement, which is very long,
contains the following provisions;
/. withdrawal OF General Perish

The American delegates believe that
despite various concessions by the
Mexicans, the border agreement does
not by any means solve the Mexican
problem. They regard the protocols
signed as only a beginning as Secre.

Iackstones.

Most girls and some boys have play ed in their time the game of dibs or knucklebones or jackstones, but few, of them know that the game has exist ed since the third century B. c. and is probably still older. How it was play ed in ancient days no one can tell, but the ankle joint bones of the sheep, OK, deer and pig were used, and the game was called ''astragal," from the Latin word for the ankle joint. In Scotland pebbles are often employed, whence the name "chuckies." Even precious stones and gold and bronze ''stones" have been used, and in some countries the bones were marked with numbers and colored to represent kings, queens, knaves and pawns.-London Globe.

The Rridae of RoiIs.

Among the many works carried out by the late Sir John Aird is the most oddly named bridge in the world. This is in Peru, on the railway from Lima to Oroya, spanning a deep and precipi- tous chasm over 500 feet wide and resting on three gigantic piers.
 Many of the men employed on the work were ex-sailors, whose training enabled them to work at dizzy heights. Although the work was necessarily of a most dangerous character, there were comparatively few accidents. But an epidemic of bubonic plague broke out. So the bridge was officially christened Puente de las Verrugas, or Bridge of Boils, a name which it still retains-EXchange

Louise Colet, the French poet, novel ist and general writer, was born at Aix in 1910. She was better known in life than to posterity not only by her writ ings, but from various incidents with which she was connected. One of the most trying was when she intended to winter in the isle of Ischia, in the gulf of Naples. No sooner was she estab- 1ished there than Ean epidemic broke out. The people thought it must be the stranger who had brought the trouble She was threatened and narrowly es- capped death by the devotion of friend who got her away in a yacht. Strange as it may seem, when the 'ttenth muse'' had left the island the fever disap- peared
