With the capture of Tampico by the
constitutional's it is expected that
Huorta will soon bo overthrown, par
ticularly as Zapata is within a few
miles of the city. Tho Americans
have all loft Tampico and but few are
now in Mexico City. The British and
Germans have taken refuge in the
British legation, whoro they -are pro-1
pared to resist any attack made upon
them.
Tampico was taken after several
days of tho fiercest fighting of tho
revolution. The rebels had secured
artillery an dwerc placed upon an
equal footing with tho federals.
Huerta has protested to the medi
ators because the United States has'
seized the island of Lobos on which
is a lighthouse. Huorta had ordered
that the light be extinguished.
National tribute was paid tho ma
rines and soldiers who wore killed in
the fighting at Vera Cruz on the ar
rival of the bodies at Now York. The
seventeen flag-draped coffins were
landed at Battery Park, New York,
from which point tho parade started.
At the City Hall 800 school children
sang "Nearer, My God, to Thee." The
final ceremonies were held at the
Brooklyn navy yard. President Wil
son had gone from Washington to
take part n the ceremonies. He rode
in the parade and stayed until the
end.
Richard Harding Davis and other
correspondents arrested by Huerta's
orders have been released.
Frederick W. Lehmann of St. Louis,
solicitor in the state department under
President Taft, and Joseph Rucker
Lamar, associate justice of the su

Washington (Special) With the
appointment of Lieut. Frederick
Mears and William C. Edes as mem
bers of the Alaska engineering com
mission, another long ste'p In the di
rection of a successful government
railroad in the northern territory has
been taken.
The commission to which the two
men have just been appointed is to
have charge of the location of the
new government railroad in Alaska.
Lieutenant Mears was the chief engi
neer of the Panama railroad and was
suggested for this new work by Colo
nel Goethals. Mr. Edes was former
ly chief engineer for the Northwest
ern Pacific railroad in California. He
is the man who located and built many
of the most difficult stretches of
mountain railroad for the Santa Fe
and Southern Pacific. Both men will
leave at once for Alaska to begin
their new task.
President Wilson recently received
a letter from James Dietrick, a rail
road contractor, who has just com
pleted largo work for the Russian
government in Siberia. Mr. Dietrick
says the cost of construction and
equipment of the Siberian railrouds
exceqds $500,000,000, an average of
$25,000 the mil6. The trans-Siberian
railroad and its branches not only
pay, he says, but have furnished
enough in profits of operation to
carry out new construction. He says
Siberia is a country very much like
Alaska, and certainly is no better
place for the location of rail lines.
"Alaska with a railroad starting
from some good harbor and built
across the country to the Bering
straits will serve to open it up and
develop that vast domain, just like
the railroads have been the means of

Siberia," says M,r. Dietrick.
"Alaska's wheat and other farm
products will within a year after the
railroad is in operation bring in more
revenue to the farmers who will fol
low the construction of the railroad
than the cost of the railroad. The
crops will increase, mining and other
business proceed with rapid strides,
and tHere is no doubt that the reve
nues will meet operating, upkeep costs
and fixed charges and furnish profits
which can be devoted to branch line
construction. Many parts of this vast
domain will soon require rail connec
tion with the main line."
The original purchase price of
Alaska more than half a century ago
was $7,200,000. The government has
spent, all told, on account of Alaska,
$35,816,074. The production in Alaska
from 1867 to 1011 was $429,523,630.
Revenues of one kind or another paid
j into the federal treasury from Alaska
during this period aggregated $17,
117,354. Since 1911 the value of
Alaskan products has increased suf
ficiently to make the total more than
a half billion dollars. With a ruil
road constructed cfrom one of the
open harbors on the southern coast
to the interior of Alaska, the annual
production of Alaska should increase
by leaps and bounds.
Alaska is said to have more coal
than Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and
Ohio, more copper than Michigan' and
Arizona, more gold than California
and Colorado, more tin than Wales
and more fish than all other American
waters combined. The area of tilla
ble land in Alaska has been variously
estimated at from 2,000,000 to 9,700,
000 acres.

MISSION
NAMED
1 ERA"
IS REALLY DUE
TO WANDERLUST
Girls and Boys Alike Are
Filled With Desire For
Out of Doors.
TTTITTI the coming of tho first
VV warm days and the call of the-
what la known In tho Juvenile court
of tho great eltiea as tho "runaway
era."
' Every day there are long lists of
boys and even girls who have dis
appeared from their homes, leaving
their parents distracted with worry,
and who are usually found not so
many miles away, enduring the dis
comforts of night out of doors and
tho uncertain meals with unconcern,
because they ore tasting of the de
lights of freedom and wandering, for
which they have longed.
It is a real wanderlust that fills
the youthful hearts during the spring,
a desire for the unknown, to bo outj
under the stars and free to roam I
where they will, but when they are j
brought home they cannot always ex
plain this Intangible something that
throbs in their little hearts and they
cover it up with sullen and contra
dictory statements.
It isn't only the lads and lassies '
whose homes are shadowed by pov- j
erty, or whoso parents are unkind'
that run away. Nor is it always big I
boys, for the wanderlust creeps Into j
tho hearts of old and young alike, I
and the wise mother will prepare fori
It and let the children taste of the '
Joys of outdoor life as much as pos
sible to keep it from reaching the
point when in sheer desperation they
run away.
Ah! you grown folks, didn't you
ever, when you were little, sit on the
front step and plan how you would
run away and come back "years and
years later," laden with, gold and
fame, to your rejoicing family?
Didn't you ever on the first warm
days, when the trees were budding
ana the air was heavy with spring
lassitude, fret at the studies that
kept you indoors and sigh to be up
and away and wandering far afield?
You know you did, so did I, so did
all of us la whom the spirit of Im
agination dwells, and, for that rea
son you must realize that Just that
same lure exists for your boys today.
The lure that something that lies
beyond the, end of the home street,
beyond the circle of 'the school and
the homes of his playmates some
thing that Is called "the world," and
which, seen through boyish eyes, is
like the mighty rainbow with the pot
of gold at the end.
If In pursuit of it they run away,
however, the glamour fades, but then
they ore generally afraid to come
home or do not know the way, and
so the grimy blotters of the police
courts record their names among the
missing.
It can all be avoided if the wise
mother gives a boy or girl a chance
to go out into the world of out of
doors.
Send them Into the woods to search
for the first flowers. Encourage them
to form a little "walking club," or
let them have a real Indian camp
some place, and cook and "mess
about" a bonfire and come home dirty
and happy and tired.
After all, the only thing needed is
to keep your own youth in your mem
ory, for no matter how fast the years
slip by, the boys and girls have the
same wistful longings now as we had
in the years of long ago.
Creamed Eggs
Boll six eggs 20 minutes. Make one
pint of cream sauce. Have six slices
of toast on a hot dish. Put a layer of
sauce on each one and then part ot
the whites of the eggs; cut in thin
strips and rub part of the yolks
through a sieve on the toast. Repeat
this and finish with a third layer of
sauce. Place in the oven for about
three minutes. Garnish with parsley
and serve.
Dr. William J. Robinson of New

work when ho soothed Saul's murder

harp himself.
"A tuneful melody, a satisfying
chord, detracts the nervous person's at
tention from the cause of his worry.
A dreamy mood is Induced In which
the little tragedies of life no longer
appear quite so gruesome or so over

HOU8E INVENTORIES.
Convenient Booklets Issued by the In-
surance Companies.
Of tho simpler schemes of tho in
surance agents who are always fever
ishly trying to hold old .business and
to attract now one of the most suc
cessful is the issuing of a blank book
for use as a residence Inventory.
This is usually a neatly prepared
booklet of 12 pages, saya System.
On tlio Inside of the front cover Is a
notice of what to do In enso of lire,
Instructions for making an Inventory
and appraisal and on the opposite
page are lines for the dates of tho
original inventory and three revisions.
On tho inside of tho back cover are""
printed general Instructions for plac
ing insurance, how to give a notico
for additional insurance and what to
do in case of removal of property.
The twelve pages of the book are each
devoted to a room and are ruled to
show the number of articles inven
toried, and a memorandum of each
article itself, date of purchase, cost
and description.
These inventories cost from six to
seven cents apiece if they are got up
in attractive style, and therefore they
should not be carelessly mailed.
Convicted by a Thermometer.
In connection with the death of Dr.
Whltelaw of Kirkintilloch, Scotland,
an interesting story is told of his
early career. Being called up one
night he was walking along with the
messenger when he was set upon and
knocked down in a lonely part of the
road.
His pockets were rifled and he was
left lying on the road severely In
jured. One of- the articles stolen was
a clinical thermometer with which he
had that evening taken the tempera
ture of a patient. He remembered
the temperature registered, also that
he had not shaken down the mercury
before putting the thermometer back
in his pocket nnd he communicated
these facts to the police.
Some time afterward a thermometer
registering the identical temperature
was discovered in a pawnshop In
Glasgow and by this means the police
were enabled to track the doctor' B
Bailants and to tfrrest them.
