Mora Troops In Revolt.

BROWNSVILLE, Tex. May 5.-The
frst detection OF federal troops along
the Tamaulipss line bordering Texas,
occurred yesterday, when the Carranza
Karrtsons at Camargo, opposite Rio
Grande CITY, and at San Miguel. near
Camargo, revolted and declared them
selves in sympathy with General Obre-
gon. according to authentic adviccs re-
ceived here today.
The revolt was orderly and no shots
were fired. Unconfrmed reports say
that the Carranza garrison at Meir op-
posite Rome. Tex, has also rcvolted.
These reports, however. lack conirma-
tion. The same reports say that rebels
entered Guerrero, opposite Zapata, TEX
as, several days ago, but left during the
nj ght without causing a disturbance. II
was indicated this garrison remained 10y

Famous Women.

The comedy that was felicitously
presented season ago written around
the life Of George Sand was scarcely
fair to her, though highly entertaining.
George Sand, the genius, had her
foibles, but she had great brain. In
her veins was the blood of kings and
heroes, so, naturally, she was highly
romantic and gathered into her cate
CORY of passions the names of famous
men of her time-the blazing epoch OF
genius, when Hugo, Balzac, De Musset,
Dumas were at their zenith. Chopin,
Heine and De Musset were George
Sands adorers. Her real name was Ar
mandine Lucille Aurore, Baroness Du-
devant. AS the author of "Consuelo,"
Leila" valentine" she has sure
niche in the hall of fame. Her morals
could bear reproach; she seemed to
exact and excite love without loving.
That she turned her varied amatory ex-
periences into "copy" may or may not
be true. That she was an inspiration
to gifted men is an established fact.
The perfect Nocturnes of Chopin arose,
In large measure, from his sorrows
and joys with George Sand. She made
$4,000 by her writings.

If you brag that, after You have
made up your mind you never change
It, you boast that you are standing
still. Things are happening with a
rush In the world these days. Forces
long invisible are becoming visible.
Institutions are being shaken. We have
seen, for example, the fall Of the mon
archistic idea after centuries Of I'M
challenged power.
II you Judge people by first impress
sions, and hang with bulldog stubborn
ness to your judgments, you are GER
tain to make mistakes.
They thought Lincoln wasn't bril-
liant enough to be president because
he was ungainly Of figure and unpOl-
ished Of manner.
II you Judge ideas by first impress
