Some Irishmen are nothing II not
ingenious. Here Is Q good story told
Of one, q terrible scamp serving in
South Africa under Colonel Hamilton.
Browne. On discharge he asked for
. character and was given one by the
colonel SO bad as should ordinarily
have barred him from employment for
ever.
Some time later the coionel met him,
q most prosperous man and about to
embark for the mother country.
"But," said the colonel. "how was 1t
that people. reading such a character
as 1 gave you should have been so
taken inr'
'Read It," the scamp replied. "Never
. one Of them read 1t and for a very
good reason, as not one Of them could
read q word of English. 1t was the
lion and the unicorn fighting for the
crown on the top Of the official paper
that did the trick. and that's what
wanted when I troubled you for a
character. So long. colonel. There's
the all for the shore bell ringing.
Good luck, and many thanks. as it's
through you I'm In for Q high old
time"

Stuck 70 the Ethics,

A celebrated specialist once attend
ed a young medical student through .
long illness. Though the embryo doc
tor knew that, according to profession
al etiquette, physicians do not accept
fees from each other, he felt that since
he was only q student and had taken
SO much of the famous doctors valu-
able time he ought to request q bill
for services rendered.
When he approached the matter,
however, the gruff old man spoke out
brusquely: Don't you know the ED
Quette? Dog doesn't eat dog"
Eyes. sir, I'm well aware Of that" re-
piled the young fellow, but you see,
I'm not q doctor. I'm only q medical
student"
"well. then. If you like 1t any better,
dog doesn't eat puppy!'

\ Will Spent Day.

II you sit down At set OF sun
And count the acts that you have done
And. counting, find
One self denying act. one word
That eased the heart Of him who heard,
One glance most kind
That fell like sunshine where II went.
Then you may count that day well spent
But II through all the livelong day
You've cheered no heart by yea or nay,
II through II all
You've nothing donA that you can trace
That brought the sunshine to one face,
No act most small
That helped some soul and nothing cost,
Then count that day as worse than lost

Twain and the Rivsrmsn.

Mark Twain once told to a party of
friends the following story on himself:
On one occasion when he started on
a trip down the Mississippi river on a
natboat he was advised never to an
swer the questions asked by rivermen
on other boats and never to handy
words with them. as he would be sure
always to come out second best He
followed the advice religiOusly fer a
time. but one day he thought he saw a
chance to get the better Of riverman
who called out:
"Hey, thar, what yer loaded with?
"Jackasses. Don't you want to come
aboardY' yelled back Twain.
"That's whut reckoned seem as
how they let Their biggest donkey hev
Their run Of the deckw came back.
Twain made a dive below as all the
nvermen in the neighborhood set up a
derisive laugh at his expense.

Congressman Sutherland has been
the recipient during the last week or
so of number of letters from differ

information as to his vote on the
Burnett immigration bill, whether
or or against 1t. The Burnett bill is
one in which West Virginlans were
particularly interested, each OF the
congressman from the state having
been asked to file petitions in its IA
vor. from all sections. There seems
TO have been misunderstanding as
to Mr.. Sutherland's position in the
matter. Mr.. Sutherland voted against
the literacy test clause of the bill
when 1t was discussed, but when the
final vote was taken voted for the
entire bill, including the literacy test
clause.

DEATH LIST.
Massacre of the American Said to
Have Been Ordered by One Of

FL Paso, Jan. 12-Pablo Lopez, a
Yaqui chief, and Gen Reyna, two Villa
generals, led the men who assassinat-
ed a. group of American miners on
Monday near Santa Ysabel, Mexico
and the massacre was committed close
in the wake of a Carranza troop tram

men. I
Conductor Gardena, in an affidavit
given to the British consul at Chi
huanua, said that the train bearing
the Americans was stopped by de-
rallied train in a cut. This train is
said to have been part of the equip
ment bearing Carranza troops. The
conductor said that Gen. Reyna held
the trainmen under guard while the
Americans were robbed and shot to
death.
Details obtained tonight were to the
effect that a score of Mexican armed
men attacked the train which was
bearing the mining men to mines
owned by the estate of Potter Palmer

Lansing Calls on Carranza to Act.

Washington, Jan. u. = Secretary
Lansing, with the approval of Presi-
dent Wilson, today dispatched to Con-
sui Silliman at Queretaro for presen-
tation to Gen. Carranza a note de-
nouncing the Staying Of Americans
near Chihuahua by Mexican bandits
and calling upon the head of the de
facto government for the immediate
pursuit, capture and punishment OF the
perpetrators of the deed
The note urged the sending of troops
to other districts where Americans are
in danger of losoing their lives or prop
erty.
At the same time the state depart
ment ordered an investigation of the
murders with a view of determining
whether they resulted from the fail
ure of the de facto government to give
proper protection in a zone known by
it to be dangerous or whether the men
lost their lives as the result of a
bandit outbreak which could not have
been foreseen.
Instructions to seek information on
this point were telegraphed to consul
lar representative in Mexico and along
the border.
In the note to Gen. Carranza the
killing of the Americans was described
as a dastardIy crime, committed in
territory announced to be in control
of the Carranza forces.
