paths run
A Little Boy looks up into Gods sky

That drift as summer southwinds

And as he looks upon his face there

The light that only fame's white dream
can yield,
To him who hears far off the roll of

In Far Off Lands I see him take the
path.
With outstretched hands that reach
forth for his dream:
Cnmindful of the dark-the tempest s
wrath.
But on the hill and hollow-vale and
stream.
Through all the bitterness and stress
OF years
That may not turn back nor dim his
faith,
Unknowing. as he looks through mists
and tears.
He follows but the phantom OF a

went to Seattle, and then turned hold
out. In 1911 Whaling caught for the
Hamilton ball team. with Weiser Dell

mate. In 1912 Bert went back to Sc
attic. and together with Bill James won
n pennant for Dugdale that year.
Whaling hit 10 homers over that right
field fence in Seattle in 1912 and
made such a good showing that when
Stallings bought Bill James he also
purchased Whaling. Bert was with the
Braves for three years, but found the
being sold to Vernon last spring. He
has slowed up considerably and as he

GUAIR|DSMEN MAY BE: WITHDRAWN FROM THE BORDER AT ONCE
Indications Are That Unless Unexpected Developments Take Place Order Will
 Be Issued in Week

Washipgton. January 1S.-Although yiIIa,s operations have injected con fusfng factors into the situation in northern Mexico and along the border, there Is every indication that the ad- ministration Is going forward with it's plans for early withdrawal of Per- shing's expedition and demobiIization of the National Guard. officials here have insisted that it was impossible to set n definite date for the troop movements because of the uncertainty of transportation facilities and because inc situation at the border and be- yond constantly is changing.
 It has been indicated clearly,
 however. thnt unless there was
 some unexpected development. Per
 shing's withdrawal and the return
 of the guardsmen would be or
 tlered within a few days. possibly
 by the end of this week.
 The reports on Villas new campaign apparently have not disturbed this de- termination, but they have somewhat bewildered official ideas as to the real situation and in the end may operate to hold up the orders until a more thorough investigation has been made. Army officers contend that the Per shing force would be in a better mili- tary position if withdrawn and re- grouped. but they are anxious to To- cate the Villa forces more definitely before there is any American move ment
 Border dispatches today transmit ting rumors that the guardsmen would be ordered home within five days were heard by war department officials without comment General Funston has exercised wide discretion as to de- tails of troop dispositions and 1t is assumed generally that the exact date will depend largely on his assessment of conditions along the border and In tho territory where Villa is operating.
