Pershing, commander o / the c\ jH'di t ion, accompanied the for<v un far ax the border and then re turned, and wUh another part of the troops entered Mexico to the flank of tlx* main army.

Aeroplanes on motor trucks are l>e lleved to have panned Into Mexico with the exitedltlou. Flying condi tions, OWlng to the clearness of the atmosphere, are Ideal. I When (Jen, ]\rshing gave the order to march at 10 o'clock yesterday morn ing, the soldiers swept forward with a shout. Cow boy 8 off the ranges, enrolled as scouts and cavalry, led the way. Two Infantry regiment*, some field artil lery and a wagon train followed. The departure was an business-like as a practice march. A long, hazy line of alkali dust standing out against the dull white of the plains and the blaxjng light of the sun mark'ed their progress toward the border. Col. 8 locum met Col. Pavljla, of the Mexican forces, who promised that no resistance would he made The entire Mexican population In I'alomas, soldiers and civilians with out exception, cleared away when the Americans passed through the town. The censor has asked all correspon dents filing by mall not to disclose military movements or details as to numbers of troops, saving that to make public questions of such military Im portance might mean a loss of Anderl can lives. This rule applied only to. mail matter as not even the general facts of the crossing have Ween allow ed to gO over the telegraph wires, which are under military control. The cOlumn leaving Columbus was thoroughly equipped for alt condition that might arise and represented all arms of the service. Th* Tragedy of Old Aga. That tragedy of the old? the being laid aside from life before the spirit Is ready to resign: the feeling that uo one wants you; that all those you have borne and brought up have long paus ed out on to roads where you cannot follow; tbat even the thought life of the world streums by so fast that you lie up in n back water, feebly, blindly groping for the full of the water and always pushed gently, hopelessly back; that sense that you are still young and warm and yet so furbelowed with old thoughts and fashions that none can see how young and warm you are. none see how you long to rub hearts with the active, how you yearn for something real to do that can help life on and how no one will give it you.? John Galsworthy in Scribner's. Human Frailty. I>ct a bishop appear aiul meml>ers of his church will he preached a great sermon. The appreciation Is for the man's reputation and position. Thou sands of hooks actually worthless re ceive what Is called appreciation be cause they are written by noted men. printed by noted publishers. You laugh at the Jokes of a clown, but you would not smile at the same nonsense Offered by a neighbor. How the children laugh at the teacher's Jokes! now an agent laughs at your Jokes when he thinks he has you in a buying humor! We nre actually honest about nothing. ? El. W. Howe's Monthly. A Four Story Drop. Ritter. the Swiss writer, as we learn from his "Letters." went so wild over r.onrpp Pilot's works that he learned English In order to read her In th^ original.
