Don't believe all you hear —espec- ially when it is about yourself. War In Mexico must be a very In sipid affair compared to the kind Sherman once referred to In languag that has become famous. A New York girl lost her mind while visiting in. Philadelphia. Of course the police haven’t a clue to the perpetrators of the theft as yet. There Is no man so poor as he who is rich In vain platitudes. Some people rise by getting in on the ground floor of everything that comes along. Don't borrow trouble with the in tention of returning It with Interest. “Former Senator Aldrich,” or “ex- Senator Aldrich” has a soothing dul cet sound to many ears. The man who never gives up will some day have money out at Interest. Cheerfulness Is about the only con tageous thing that we aren’t afraid of. A thorough Investigation of the past activities of the Standard OH company might Illuminate many dark places in the politloal history of the country. One of the oar crews of an eastern university are said to be composed entirely of sons of well-known mil lionaires. They ought to take natural ly to water. Property on Wall street Is said to be worth forty million dollars an acre —and not a foot of It Is broke to the plow, nor Is the water fit for dairying purposes. Teddy Roosevelt Is probably the highest paid editorial writer there Is today—and yet wo doubt If he could run a country newspaper. A Washington man told the Judge that he had scruples against spank ing his wife. His wife certainly has the right system. In tbe continued and prolonged ab sence of any seismic disturbances along the New England shores we are Inclined to fall Into the erroneous belief that the country la struggling along without an ex-president. The automobile Industry is doing much for labor. It gives direct em ployment to about a million people, besides doing considerable In the way of lessening the number of peo plo wanting Jobs. The man who la so constituted that you would be willing to do moat any kind of a favor for him Is the one who seems to need help the least. It Is easy to be cheerful when those around you are ohecrful—so, from a selfish standpoint It Is worth while to try to make happy those you as sociate with. Tho man who makes tile moßt noise talking makes the least noise think ing. Every young man who wastes his youth Is putting a mortgage on hls prime. Beauty is only skin deep—and most of the pretty girls haven’t much depth. Lieutenant Hobson says ho Is af ter the alcohol peril, and expects to get It—but who la going to got Richard P.T ' James Hamilton Lewis Bays men should not shave. J. Ham. should remember that If It wasn’t for this custom of tho ordinary man hls whiskers wouldn’t have hnd n chance to have made him famous. A young man In Wyoming drove two miles alone before ho discover ed that hls sweetheart hod fallen out of the buggy. Love-making In that atato must lack some of the ardor that characterizes It around hare. Ellen Terry says that next to Lon don sho likes Chicago better than nny city In the world. Anyone who likes London tho best would be ex pected to like Chicago next beet. No man Is as smart as hls small children think he Is—nor as big a . fool as hls grown-up children think • ho Is. AMERICANS WOUNDED IN DOUGLAS, ARIZONA. A copy of the Douglas, Arizona, Dally Dispatch, published near the border line of Mexico, tells of the thrilling experiences of the Ameri cans in Douglas during the battle which was fought Thursday of last week between the Mexican regulars and the rebels at Agua Prleta. The paper tells of Americans killed and maimed on this side of the line and asks how long the United States will submit to bombardment from border warfare. The combatants have been warned by the U. S. government to be cau tious in shooting and not endanger American lives, but this warning ev idently is not heeded. American, citi zens traveling In Mexico are shown no consideration by either the regu lars or the insurgents and it would seem that this government is not do ing Its duty by her citizens In not forcing the Mexicans to carry on their warfare away from the border line and safeguarding the lives of Americans both in Mexico and Ariz ona. The Douglas Dispatch publishes the following experience of American passengers traveling In Mexico: ”W. C. Green, of 960 Greene street, was on the train coming up from Nacozart yesterday afternoon when It waa taken charge of by the insur rectos at Fronteras. Mr, Greene stat ed to a representative of Tho Dis patch last evening: ” There were ten passengers on the train from Nacozarl and six of them got off the train at Fronteras when the lnsurrectoa took charge, and four of them came on to Agua PTieta. It was tho original intention of the lnsurrectos to stop a mile from Agua Prleta and come into town on foot,’ ” said Mr. Green. " ‘but they changed their plans on the way In. As soon as the train stopped at Agua Prleta the lnsurrectos commenced shooting and the bullets from the federate were whizzing around us thick and fast. We got back of some freight cars on the' other side of the depot and finally lay down In a small ditch. There were ten of us In the ditch, among them A. R. Dickson. “ ‘The bullets kept on whizzing overhead and we thought that we were pretty well out of danger* when half a dozen federate appeared on tbe other side of qs and commenced firing on us. We yelled ‘Americana’ and ‘Amigo’ but it did not do any good. A Mexican on one aide of mo was shot in the abdomen and Dick son on the other side was shot in the leg. They made us get up jtjid took us around the town to the ball ring, the lnsurrectos blazing away at us meanwhile, and we kept down as much as possible, and If you think we were not scared, you are badly mistaken. “ Eight of ua were kept In the bull ring for about an hour until the town was finally taken and we were released and came across the line. “‘I have had enough war to last me for some time,’ ” said Mr. Green. FACTS ABOUT THE MOON. Though our nearest neighbor in the sky, the moon’s distance from us Is an average of 239,000 miles Within a month it will be 25,000 miles nearer to us at one time than another, which causes its apparent size to vary. A day on the moon is thirty times as long as ours, being fifteen days of daylight and fifteen days of darkness. There are but twelve of them in a year. The long days are very hot and the long nights excessively cold. As it has no atmosphere to protect it from the sun’s rays, water would boll In the sunlight if there were any water there. At night the tem perature is several hundred degrees below zero, the contrast between day and nigh* is all of 500 degrees. The mountains on the moon have been measured with greater accuracy than any on earth, and twenty-eight of them are higher than, Mount Blanc two being almost five miles In height The craters of its extinct volcanoes are enormous, one having a dlametor of 130 miles. A man weighing 166 pounds on earth would weigh but 26 pounds on the moon, and could Jump over church spires with ease. The diameter of the moon is 2,160 miles, and Its volume is fifty times less than that of the earth. It would take 60,000,C00 moons to equal the bulk of the sun. The moon makes n Journey of 1,500,000 miles in going round the earth, and its speed Is thlrty-sovon miles a minute. It completes this revolution In 27 days, 7 hours 43 minutes and 11 seconds. From now moon to new moon Is 29 days, 12 horns 44 minutes and 2 seconds. Go to (Ehrlich for painting) and pa perhanging.
