met my father.
at wish you would deliver this
package for me, Joe,' he said rather
weakly, as / remembered afterward.
Now was only thirteen years old and
had been out playing in the hot sun all
morning and was all in when / met
my father after playing a ten-inning
game with our side the losers. My
first impulse was to refuse, but one
glance at his kind, gentle face stopped
me. Surely / will go, father l said
pleasantly.
"'Thank you, son. was the answer.
I was going myself, but don't feel
very well today and / thought you
would not refuse, as you have always
been a good boy TO me, joe
II walked away thinking father did
not care much about his only son, or
he would not send me on this jaunt
(about one mile and a half), on such
hot day. But somehow the words,
4 thought you would not refuse and
You have always been a good boy to
me, joe seemed TO ring in my ears
and before / reached the end of my
journey l was whistling a merry tune.
Returning home, 1 saw our doctors
auto and crowd Of people at our
door. One of my aunts hurried to meet
me with tears rolling down her cheeks.
Your father fell dead just as he reach
ed the stoop,' she said.
81 found out later the last words my
father spoke were. You have always
been a good boy to me, joe"

accorded full and complete support
by the people in this great crisis.
Many Arc Reuccnt.
The enormity Of the plot was be-
yond the belief of many and when
questioned as to their opinion they
were extremely reticent.
President McVey Of the University

view this afternoon:
'If the statements made in the AS
sociated Press dispatch Of this morn
ing are true. there exists a monstrous
state of affairs when a nation deliber-
ately plots to destroy the peace and
quiet Of q neutral nation.
Should Know Attitude.
IL these dlSpatcheS are true, then
the United States should ascertain at
once the purpose and attitude of
Japan and Mexico toward this coun-
try, whether in fact they stand for
peace or for intrigue and double
dealing.
Now is the time for every citizen
to show where he stands and at the
same time to await tho action Of the
president, who knows the facts and
who can be relied upon to do his
patriotic duty"
Wavc Of Indignation.
Throughout the city today the Ger
man plot formed the chief, topic Of
conversation and a general wave OF
indignation is being felt in the COM
munity.
Mayor James A. Dinnie is also
strong in his denunciation Of the al
legged plot If the facts as represented
by the Associated Press are true.
President A. 1. Hunter vice presi-
dent Of the First National bank, was
very reticent when approached on the
subject today. I'D rather not ex-
press my opinion" he said.
j. Nelson Kelly. city superintendent
Of schools. declared that he found it
very difficult to believe the story and
