I . 6 Til K SITUATION UNCHANGED. Washington Attitude Continues to ho One of Patient Waiting. Washington. Nov. 27.?There were no developments in the Mexican situation today, official dispatches received being of a routine character. The attitude of the Washington government continues to be one of patient waiting and, so far as is known, no immediate steps are in contemplation. Sir William Tyrrell, private secretary to Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign secretary, said good-bye to President Wilson today. He will leave Sunday for London. During his visit here Sir William has seen the President and Secretary Bryan frequently and has been on cordial terms with high government officials generally. He has maintained silence about his presence, declaring only that he came in no official capacity. The view held by those familiar with the nature of the exchanges between Great Britain and the United States is that the relations between the two governments have been continuously friendly and that which has been referred to as an estrangement of relations is cliaracteristized by them as merely having been misapprehension of the purposes of each country during the kaleidoscopic 4 changes which affairs in Mexico re- . cently were undergoing. The two governments, it may be said, are now ? working in close harmony. ^ Won't Mix With Business. Henderson Gold Leaf. Vice President W. L. Parks of the * Illinois Central Railway, has made ? a ruling against the practice some trainmen have of carrying photo- * graphs of their wives, sweethearts, babies or other dear ones in their pockets or watch cases while on duty, fearing that the trainmen while dot ing on the photographs will have their minds diverted from atcntion to duty, at least for the time being, with possible ill consequences to the ^ trains they are operating. Mr. Parks says that while it may seem like a small matter, that after all it is the, ? little things that count. At first this ! may seem nice not only a small mat- * ter, but also a silly ruling on a great * railway system and many may give it the laugh. Trainmen occupy re- * sponsible positions, and the slightest diversion of attention from duty might cause the most serious conse- 4 quences. A very thoughtful man < was once heard to remark that he did not feel exactly safe on a passenger * train If the gallant young conductor's sweetheart happened to be aboard. It is a fact that persons who habitually take their "affairs of the heart" and "sentimental" matters along with them during business hours cannot render the best service. no matter what line of business or employment they may be in, Prom the Mouths of Babes. From Mother's Magazine. The May baby was a boy. The April baby was a girl. The became acquainted one day when their mothers left them together. Then they exchanged confidences. "My milk come from a certified cow," said the May baby. "Mine, too." said the April baby. "It is milked by a man in a white suit, with sterilized hands, through absorbent cotton, and kept at a temperature of forty-five degrees." "Mine, too." "The milk is brought to me in a prophylactic wagon drawn by a modified horse." "Mine, too." "Then how in the world do you manage to be so fat and well?" The April baby winked slyly: "I chew old paper and the corners * of the rugs and anything I can find ? that is dirty, and in that way I manage to maintain the bacterial balance * which is essential to health," she said ? with a laugh. The May baby laughed back long and loud. ? The mothers heard the goo-gooing, but the assigned to it only the usual f antastic significance. Perhaps, this < was just as well.
