SEEN ON THE SIDE
The Christening.
BY HENRY EDWARD WARNER.

At hrst they called me IT: they didn't think
needed any name. because. you see,
There wasn't really very much OF nc,
And could only lie and kick and blink
And bite my toes and say GOO sou' and drink
Out OF bottle filled with something white
They had Inc pinned and bundled uo 40 sight
My ribs would ache each timc 1 dared to wink
Last night my father held me- while a man
Dressed all in black said to the folks. said he:
What is this little fellows name to be?"
They might have called me Bill. Tom, Jack or
Dan
For all cared-or Lucy, Lii Nan.
The only thing that interested me
Was that white bottle--for a kid. you see
Can't walt for food four hours, like grown-ups
cam
His name is Norman" said my Dad. and so
The black man put some water mis- hand
And dropped 1t on my head. and il felt grand.
ana then he said he hoped ihat would grow
TO be n man like Daddy and know
Some people kissed me. and my r,othcr said
That she'd GO home and put me In my bed;
And then I went where Sleepy Babies go.

One feature Of the livestock conservation
program that Is attracting attention is the
prevention Of slaughter OF animals by rail-
road trains. The number wasted in this
manner in a country like this mounts into
many thousands each year. The blame in
most cases rests upon the owners, who are
careless in looking after fences There was
time when such carelessness was believed
III somo cases. to be intentional. for rail-
roads were often compelled to pay damages
beyond tho market value Of the animals.
which accounts for the laws found upon the
statute books OF nearly all the States making
1t crime TO entice animals upon railroad
tracks However, this evil has practically
disappeared Now the need is for more
stringent stock laws more rigdIy enforced.
Tho railroads have been heretofore the chief
sufferers, but the whole country is being
menaced by a shortage OF food animals, and
interest in the subject has become universal.

Is a welcome ray Of sunshine south
Of the Rio orands. Tension all
along the border has relaxed, fear OF
raids diminished, railroad communl-
cation Is opening up, business resum-
Ing and an era Of better feeling is
growing.
Secretary Of state Lansing to-day
discussed with newspaper correspon-
dents recent favorable developments
In the Mexican problem. While not
desiring 10 DO too optimistic, the
Secretary was decidedly encouraged
by the new condition Of affairs.
The Mexican situation is much
better" he said Conditions in that
country are showing decided i'm
provement for order and stability.
Particularly is this true in the north
ern section, where disorders are be-
ing suppressed n normal conditions
restored.
Bandit forces are being scattered
and broken up into small groups.
Salazar, for example. has only $50
men. | understand that railroad
communication has now been opened
from Juarez to the City Of Mexico.
"A better feeling among the people.
particularly In the North, toward the
United States Is growing. As cOndi-
tons improve II the country opens
up they are beginning to understand
us and our motives"
Asked what were the principal
causes Of this improvement IN
Mexico, Secretary Lansing said.
II should say that first and most
important Is the successes OF Carr
rama Government military operations
against the bandits, defeating them
and scattering their forces, which has
tended to restore order and comb
denCe. This was aided by our own
activities In suppressinR plots and
conspirators along the border.
next, the entrance OF the United
States into the war against Germany
had good effect. And in connection
with this considerable reaction OF
sentiment was caused by publication
OF the Zimmerman note, revealing
Germany's attempt to embroll Mexico
with the United States"
While the Administration still has
many troubles on Its hands in dealing
with the Mexican situation and the
problem Is by no means safely settled,
yet there IS 80 much improvement as
to relieve serious tension along the
border as well as in diplomatic cir
cles. German plotting has completely
failed south OF the Rio Grande. The
