A mere fragment of news from
Washington indicates that President
Wilson is as firm in his own mind as
ever to continue his policy of watch
full waiting toward Mexico. But he
surely should be convinced by this
time that it is a frightful failure in
the matter of affording the protec-
ton to Americans in Mexico that is
fbeirs nv right

Boot and shoe makers are said to
be alarmed over the increases in the
cost of the materials that they use in
their wares. But the boot and shoe
consumers of the country are the ones
who should be more alarmed. Still
the people are getting so used to hav-
ing to pay more and more for the
things they need that they will accept
a raise in the price of their shoes pref
~ much as a matter of course.

That Restaurant Pie.

In the restaurant 1 sit thinking, mother,
dear, of you.
And the good fashioned pies you used
to make,
Where the top and bottom crusts had some
filling in between
And did not require a blacksmith's sledge
to break.
Now the apple pie l get tastes just like a
leather belt
And would make a dandy half sole for a
shoe.
1t will bend. but will not break. and III
always have to take
Off my lid in fond remembrance of you.

Nor do the advertisements of the
famous climate of California make
mention of the fact that it is well for
the orchardists there to have goodly

more frequency of late years.

After a severe cross-eXamination the
counsel for the prosecution in a Grim
inal case passed, and then putting on
look of severity, exclaimed:
Mr.. Kilkins, has not an effort been
made TO induce you to tell different
story"
Yes. sir; several persons have tried
to get me to tell a different story from
what I have told. but they couldn't.
Now, sir, upon your oath, 1 wish to
know who those parties are"

hard as any of them

1t is a compliment, OF course, to
Colonel Roosevelt that Texans should
petition him TO use his influence with
congress to bring about change in
policy of the government in respect to
its duty toward American life and
property in other lands But the fact
is that Colonel Roosevelt didn't have
much luck in bending congress to his
will even when he was president.

WHAT a CHECK TAX WOULD DO.


This tremendous jump in bank de-
posts that the United States comptrol-
Ter of the currency reports won't be
among those present very long if the
Democratic statesmen include in their
next revenue measure a stamp tax on
bank checks. The encouragement
that the banks have given in the past
few years to people of small means
to open checking accounts has I'M
doubleday been a big factor in increas-
ing the total bank deposits to their
present figures. But a demand from
the government for a two-cent in
ternal revenue stamp on every check,
such as was provided for in the stamp
tax law in force during the Spanish
American war, would make banking
too expensive for the small fry among
the bank depositors, and their number
throughout the country is now legion.

As a general thing in matters of this

nsnallv greatly exaggerated.

It's Different Now.
He stayed out each evening
Until it was late;
1t was his ambition
To just celebrate.
He had costly dinners,
Played poker a lot.
And didn't care much
Whether school kept or not.
When his wife was away
For the summer.
Now he's working the lawnmower,
And sticking round home;
Hes very discreet and does
Not care to roam
He's mild and he's tame,
And he's walking the chalk,
And he's not bossy or
Gay in his talk.
For his wife is at home
For the winter. Roy h. Moulton.

Pershing's Camp at the Front, April 9.-The men who are reported to De travelling with Villa as his body guard and as a rear guard against Ameri- can troops. are described here as some of the strongest and toughest specimens ce physical development which the Mexican wars have produc- ed. All reports agree that there are not more than 300 of these men.
 They are described as we'll scason~ ed men in distinction from the boys and lanky men who composed the bulk of Villas army. They are sup posed to be go.od shots. They have the reputation of being able to travel without food such as other men neeIf- Sometimes a good sized handful of corn is passed to them as days ra- tic,Hs.
