Jenkins Letter Asserts
Mexicans Are Enacting
an Unpreeede denied Farce

NASHVILLE. Tenn. December g.
II am now in prison because I refuse
to give bail for l cent, as ] will not
even compromise with them under any
circumstances" writes w. O. jenkins,
the American consular agent, recently
kidnapped by Mexican bandits. to his
old school friend, John E. Edgerton
of Lebanon, captain of the Vanderbilt
foot ball team in 1901, when Jenkins
played tackle.
Elsewhere in the letter. which is
written from the prison in Puebla,
Mr.. Jenkins says:
IT regret very much the great
notoriety that has been given to my
bit of hard luck in being carried away
by some bandits who live near here,
but it has been unavoidable. although
the incident would have been forgot
ten if the authorities had not tried to
cover up their criminal responsibility
in allowing this city to be unsuarded
by charging me with my own alb
duction. So they have used every
means possible to get certain evidence
to cover up their absurd pretensions.
II have never in all my life seen
such farce as they are carrying out
here. for 1 have been condemned
without being allowed to present a
single witness in my behalf, though
1 had them ready. and even presented
them to the courts, but was told that
they were too busy to hear them. At
the present moment November 2D
the secretary of the embassy of Mex
leo City is here taking this testi-
many, that it may be presented to the
State Department., inasmuch as the
courts refuse to accept it.
1.-THE only witnesses that they have
been able to get are some poor devils
on former farm of mine.
"Of course, the fact in itself is alb
solutely non-important. as I could
have been carried to any place, but
asI was not there 1 so declared, and
they have seized on this false evil
dance to say that I declared falsely.
T have plenty of testimonies to offset
anv false evidence that they can pos
sih1v produce, but. as l say. Mexican
iustice is of a certain brand at the
nresent time, and it can't be changed"

WHAT THE MOUTH REVEALS

Full lips suggest cajolery and flip
pancy.
A mouth which viewed in profile
turns up in a curve indicates frlVs
olous nature.
A small mouth explains extreme
sensitiveness and narroW-mlnded
outlook on life.
An extremely large mouth indicates
liberality of mind but certain coarse
ness of nature.
A mouth of any thickness that
droops at the corners denotes one who
cannot be trusted.
A close-ftting mouth revealing
sharp, straight lines, indicates stern
ness Of disposition.
Dizziness of apprehension Is indicat'
ed by a mouth which is exactly twice
the width of the eye.
A small mouth coupled with small
nose and nostrils shows an indecisive
and cowardly nature.
If the angles at the corners Of the
lips point downward it indicates pes
simism; If upward. optimism.
A large mouth denotes shameless
person with hasty judgment not al
ways kind, also a good conversation
alist.
One with thin lips drawn down at
the corners, rather bloodless and pale,
is extremely obstinate, given to hys'
terra and melancholy.
