Boy Misunderstands Mother and Sups
in Tranquil Content.

He was very small boy. Paddy
was his dog. Paddy was nearer to his
heart than anything on earth. When
Paddy met swift and hideous death
on the turnpike road his mother
trembled to break the news. But it
had to be, and when he came home
from school she told him simply: ),
Paddy has been run over and kill
ed."
He took it very quietly; finished
his dinner with appetite and spirits
unimpaired. All day it was the same.
But five minutes after he had gone to
bed there echoed through the house
a shrill and sudden lamentation. His
mother rushed upstairs with solicit
tude and sympathy.
Nurse says" he sobbed, that
Paddy has been run over and killed
But, dear, 1 told you that at din
ner, and you didn't seem to trouble
at ALL"
"No; but-but 1 didn't know you
said Paddy. II thought you said
daddy!"- Bits.

A motorist was stopped by po-

became angry and called the police
man an ass, says Tit-Bits. After he
had paid his fine, the judge reproved
him for what he had said to the d-

"Then I mustn't call a policeman

"Certainly not" said the judge.
"You must not insult the police.
"But you wouldn't mind if 1 called

Mr.. Graves guilty of breach of

AGREES TO A
COMMISSION
But Note Leaves Ex-
tent of Cooperation
In Doubt
BY UNITED PRESS.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-Gen
Carranza still insists that the first
thing to be decided by the United
States and Mexico is the withdrawal
OF the American troops.
Mexican Ambassador Arredondo
today delivered to Acting Secretary
OF State Polk note which, while
naming a commission and tacitly
accepting the last American propo-
sal for a joint commission to inves.
tigate Mexican-American relations,
laid stress on the fact that the
American commissioners are TO de
vote their attention preferably to
the solution OF the points mentioned
In the previous note Of this depart
ment." The points referred to are
the questions OF withdrawal OF
American troops from Mexican soil,
border patrol and fixing of respon.
sibility for border raids.
Washington officials greed that
Carranza In this manner is indicat.
ing his intention TO urge these ques-
tions ahead OF all others.

any broader issues to be discussed

ticularly pointed out the administra.
ton desires to go into larger dis
cussion OF the Mexican problem tha.

however, by state department ofl.
cials. that the Mexican confereee
will show a willingness TO take M
questions Of Mexican finances and

commissioners will follow whatever
lead is made by American members
