Pride Wins and We Lose

The other day we commented upon the wis
dom of an Ohio judge in attempting to correct
the breach between Grandma and Grandpa
Hancy who sought divorce after "A years OF
married life We hoped the judges little out
side session with the couple and their nine chill
dren would heal the sores. It seems that our
hopes were entirely unfounded. The couple,
unyielding, were granted divorce.
Now they are going on separate pathways.
Grandfather Hancy has taken his savings, a
deed to the lot upon which he built the little
home they worked so hard to earn, and his ia
vorte rocker. That's all he wants. He'll walk
alone now toward LIES back gate and out into
Grandma Hancy will keep the home and live
there. In the long cold winter nights she can
sit peacefully alone with her dreams in the coy
little living room. Peacefully? Well, there'll
be no cranky old man to bother her.
Grandpa Hancy's pride has been satisfied.
So has Grandma's After fighting it off for
A years, they finally have given in. They
have surrendered to the little god Of self that
has whispered to them so often during those
years, the little god they resisted so valiantly,
only at the last to lose.
We had more faith in them than to believe
that this could happen. We had more faith
in life than ever to think that "A years Of COM
panionship could be broken by so mean little
thing as pride. Must our faith be shattered in
this rude way?
Memories. Oh, the memories that Grand
father Hancy is going to have as he sits in that
old rocker toasting his shins before the fire!
The wedding day when Grandma Hancy was
all white and radiant and lovely, their hours

rop up suddenly, things that he overlooked,
title deeds of mercy Of hers that showed her

We never become just as happy as he is going

Grandma Hancy says she is better off, too.
There'll be no one to annoy her in that coy

be asking lot of fool questions. OF course
she'll miss such little things as locating mis-
placed hats and shoes, hearing him move about

this or that fool thing, whatever it was.
She'll have memories, too, as she goes about
her little home. How Grandpa joked with her
about those pictures she had taken. The little

eye that day when he was sitting alone and
looking at the faded prints that were taken al
years ago. On the porch in the summer eve

BY RODNEY BUTCHER

Washington, Oct. 17.-Most in
formed persons in Washington ex-
pected that there would be an armed
revolt in Mexico, but few thought
it would develop so early. Presi-
dent Gales ha so often and so in
sistently promised that he would
keep his hands off the presidential
campaign and allow a free election
that the general belief was that mill
tary activities would be postponed
until after Generals Serrano and
Gomez saw ho' the election resulted.
Serrano and Gomez, however, ap-
parently shared the general belief
that Alvaro Oregon would be elect
ed. Whether they had any hope
of fair and free elections is difficult
to decide from this distance, but it
is likely that they would have been
justified in such hope because
oregon is such a popular her
Mexico that strong-arm methods
were not needed to elect him.
Friends Of Mexico in this country
were anxious to see the revolt put
down and have supported the drastic
tactics of Gales in executing many
rebel leaders. If it should be proved
that Gales deliberately provoked
Serrano and Gomez into i7surrec-
ton, their opinion doubtless would
change, but it appears that Gales
merely proved his strength and fore
sight and beat his enemies Ito the
draw" If Gales had been captured
he undoubtedly would have been
treated the same way.
Although it is true that the Mex
can people are rot yet we'll along
the road toward what is known as
civilization and that rebels are being
killed off quicker than they would
be in this country-perhaps. there
is every justification in Mexican
law for the numerous cce-t execu-
tiOns.
The victims presumably are being
shot down in accordance with the
law of Macmillan, dated 1862, which
provided that anyone should be shot
who was taken, arms in hand,
against the constituted government.
Emperor Macmillan himself had
this law passed to enable him to
deal with his Mexican enemies and
he enforced it against many Of the
leaders in the warning faction led by
the Mexican patriot, Benito Juarez.

Faith had intended to tell Bob Of
her dinner invitation to Bruce Pat
ton before breakfast that Saturday
morning SO that she could spare the
rest Of the family his certain dis
pleasure, but he was still burrowing
sleepily into his pillows and refusing
to acknowledge that he was awake
when she had had her own bath and
was ready to prepare breakfast. SO
it was at that meal, at the table
which had come to have hateful
significance in Faiths mind as the
family battle-ground, that she made
her announcement.
Bob answered as she had dread
ed that he would, his blue eyes
stormy, his mouth Tightening GRIM
ly: "You've invited that dancing
TOP to dinner? In Gods name,
why? thought I'd made it abund-
antly clear that that slick-haired
prancer's name is mud to me"
I'm sorry, DEAR" Faith said
evenly, keeping her eyes fixed upon
the coffee pot so that he should not
see the film Of tears that gathered
over her eyes. But if Cherry is
going to accept Mr.. Patton's atten-
tions, I think the-friendship-
should be dignified by his reception
in our home-Cherry's home, too,
by the way. She has q right to have
her friends come here, since it is
the only home she has,"
Thanks, Faith" Cherry laughed.
"You do put it so exquisitely! You
ought to write advice on etiquette
for the papers. But listen, brother
in-law," she flashed her golden eyes
at Bob defiantly, If you're going to
be nasty to Bruce, I'll meet him
somewhere else-street corners are,
/ believe, the traditional rendezvous
for repressed girls with stern rela-
tives, and, as Faith would put it SO
elegantly, you can preserve the
sanctity of your home against such
insidious influences as dancing mas
tiers, ct al"
Bob glowered at her murderously,
but made no other answer.
Aunt Hattie calmly "dunked" q
bit Of crisp toast.in her coffee, ate
it with smacking appreciation. then
opened her thin, wrinkled mouth to-
address her nephew-in-law:

had told me you'd change like you
have since you married. Proving
you never can tell about a man.
Anybody'd think to look at you that

ton. whoever he is. You got any
real reason to hate this new man Of
Cherry's except that he can probably
dance better than you and makes his
money easier?"

"Oh, damnw Cherry cried, her
voice choking ON sudden sob Of
rage. "I1l clear out If that's what
you want, Bob Hathaway! Far be

For . long minute those two stood
staring into each others eyes, in q
deadlock composed Of hatred and

Faster come, faster come,
Faster and faster

Fast they come, fast they come
See how they gather!

Cast your plaids, draw your blades,
Forward each man set!

Another funny incident was a play
in which Elberfeld, keeler and
Schreck figured shortly after began
playing.
