Santa From the South
By DeLusle Ferree Cass

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
While the newspapers throughout
the United States were busily an.
nouncing the warlike operations Of
Gen. Sancho Fernandez here, there
and elsewhere that December, It was
q fact that the revolutionary dictator
.of Mexico was really in Washington,
D. c., where he had been peremptor-
lily summoned by the president.
His conference at the capitol was
short and very much to the point. It
was pointed out with painful decisive
ness to the Senior General Fernandez
that hereinafter he would have to
make his ragged army respect the
rights Of u. s. A.
The pill that General Fernandez was
thus made to swallow was not sugar
coated, but 1t unQuestionably did him
good. He went down the White House
steps that day before Christmas a
aadder and a wiser man. However
the dictator of Mexico was philoso-
pher.
General Fernandez muflied his face
deep In the soft warmth Of his fur
.colla1ed greatcoat, and started of
down the avenue.
BY and by he came TO the business
district where throngs Of lastminute
shoppers were busting about. Snow
had begun to fall heavily-great feecy
fakes that filled the whole air and
supplementing the gay holiday decora'
lions and shouts Of street hawkers
