Rebels Ars Scattered Over Large Ter*
rltory and Reports of Claehee
Are Many.
I Mexico City.—A prominent official
of Mexico City professes to believe
that the end of revolutionary disturb-
ances is not far off and that this week
wiN see a mortal blow delivered to-
ward the remains of Orozco’s army,
but the same degree of optimism is
Sot generally shared by the public.
That congress will interpose em-
barrassing obstacles by refusing to au-
thorise the $20,000,000 pesos loan be-
fore the expiration of the week is not
anticipated. Official reports appear to
Indicate a falling off in the activity of
the Zapatistas in the state of Morelos
and Guerrero, but this is more than
offset by the Increased hostilities In
the neighboring state of Mexico, and
by the appearance of a new revolu-
tionary movement in the central part
.of the state of Vera Cruz, where Gen-
eral Aguilar is conceded to be op-
erating. In the states of Mlchoacan
and Durango the governors report
conditions improving, but private and
press messages continue to talk of
raids on ranches and villages by the
rebels. The operations of General
Blanquet and /the allied federal col-
umns in the state of Coahulla should
show this week whether Pascual
Orozco expects to attempt another for-
mal battle with the government force
or whether he will lead off his forces
once more and continue his guerilla
warfare.
The rebels are occupying scattered
positions in the low mountains north
and west of Muzquiz, which will offer
opportunity for defense and will also
provide an excellent chance for re-
treat. It is not considered likely that
Orozco, who has little or no artillery,
and only a limited supply sf cart-
ridges, not enough to operate his ma-
chine guns successfully, will make a
determined stand.
Marcelo Caraveo, second in com-
mand under Orozco, is reported by a
traveling commercial agent just ar-
rived at Monterey from the district
where the rebels are, to have executed
Lieutenant Rodriguez and ten rurales.
This is in direct contrast to the treat-
ment accorded last week to a regular
army officer who was wounded in a
fight with the rebels. Caraveo sent
him under safe conduct to the federal
lines for treatment. Rodriguez is the
same young officer to whom General
Bern&do Reyes surrendered at Linares
Deoember 25 of last .year.
Though no Immediate danger exists,
many residents of Monclova, Muzquiz
and neighboring towns are reported to
he fleeing for fear they will be caught
In the zone of fighting.

Differing Processes of the Mind May
Bo Classed Either os the “Vis-
ual” or the “Auditive-”
The great majority of people can be
classified In one or other of two psy-
chological types, corresponding to the
great senses of sight and hearing.
These clssede sometimes ere celled
tbs '‘visuals’* and the ’'audttives'* re-
spectively. The “visuals” or vlseallz-
' ere seem to conduct the majority of
their mental proceases by visual sym-
i bolls®. They "think in pictures;”
their mental method Is graphic. The
majority of women belong to thin
group, and, of course, the majority of
painters, sculptors, architects, deco-
rators, engineers and mechanically
gifted people. Such people readily ap-
prehend space relations, and can oon-
celve new ones. If they possess this
power In high degree they may paint
fine pictures, build new types of archi-
tecture, conceive new machines.
The audttives, on the other hand,
think more in sounds and words and
not in pictures. They naturally in-
J elude the musicians, the men of let-
ters and ths scientific and philosophic
among men than among women. They
notice things around them less, and
are more commonly credited with be-
ipg “absent-mhlded.,,
If great development of either* is
rare, vastly rarer is great develop-
ment of both in one and the same in-
dividual. Such individuals stand out
as the few supreme examples of what
we call versatility, and of these the
most notable representative in the his-
tory of the world is Leonardo da Vinci.
SOME REALLY GRAND OLD MEN
Historical Records of Longevity That
by Rights 8houid Be Accompa-
nied by an Affidavit.
The Mexican who has Just died at
the alleged age of 185 has been pre-
deceased (according to American
news) during the past dozen years or
so by a citizen of New Brunswick
aged 132, and a comparative youngster
of Valley Mills, Tex., whose age was
only 115.
The man In the street will be par-
doned for thinking that the 185 has
been Inadvertently transposed from
a cricket report Among ex-Blblical
heroes probably Aid Parr and Henry
Jenkins will stand as the best au-
thenticated instances of superlongev-
ity. The monument at Bolton, York-
shire, records that Jenkins attained
"ths amazing age of 169.”
• "A man ix 86,” observed Mr. Dooley
recently, "looks down on a man iv 85,
and receives Jils callow opinyons
with a supercilyous smile;” and for
that reason probably (if not because
he was a fisherman) Jenkins was able
to give evidence on oath concerning
matters 140 years or so previous. As
a hale young centenarian he was in
the habit of swimming the Swale
"with ease,’’ and as a boy he is said
to have taken a horse-load of arrows
to be forwarded north for the battle
of Flodden.—London Mail.
Bodies of Dead Form Prison.
Tucson, Ariz.—Bodies of nine of his
fellow workmen formed the prison of
a wounded Mexican ranchman rescued
near Moreno, Sonora, Sunday. Thir-
teen ranchmen were captured by
Yaqui Indians. Three are not ac-
counted for. The savages kfTled the
nine men and wounded the other.
Then they piled the bodies upon the
wonnded man whs was pinned down
by their weight. Yaqui Indians pro-
claiming allegiance to the rebel cause
art appearing at many points in ths
Yaqui river oountry.
"Before leaving London for Paris on

united warning that he might be shot

Interesting Search.~
William Dana Orcutt, whose new
novel. "The Moth." has just been pub-
lished by the Harpers, Is noted for his
extreme diligence in verifying all his-
torical facts that appear in bis novels.
When writing one of his earlier nov-
els, "The Spell," he made a special
trip to Florence in order to verify cer-
tain allusions and locations. One of
the first, pilgrimages was to San Do-
menico to find the ancient inscription
upon the wall, which Helen Armstrong
points out to her husband in the first
chapter. Says the author, "I had never
been able to discover where I obtained
this data, so was particularly anxious
to verify it. One morning, accompanied
by Mrs. Orcutt, I set out on what seem-
ed a hopeless quest. We located the
old Etruscan wall, with its curious
marks, but no legends Finally we
came to some flaring posters announ-
cing an auction sale, and beneath
these, when pulled aside, we found
the Latin words, cut deep in the
stone.” ^

Doan's Kidney I ’ills cured this Conroe
resident.
Their merit was shown—the story
told.
Now comes further evidence.
The testimony is confirmed
The remedy was tested—the cure
lasted.
Could Conroe residents desire strong-
er proof?
It's Conroe testimony. It can be in-
vestigated.
Mrs. T. M. McGuire, Conroe, Texas?
says: “The public statement I gave
in May, 1908, was correct. The cure
Doan’s Kidney Pills made has been
lasting. A member of my family had
his back injured, and after that his
kidneys were affected. He complained
much of lameness and pain in his back
and frequent headaches added to his
discomfort. He had little energy and
was only able to do his work through a
painful effort. Doan’s Kidney Pills
were finally procured from the Corner
Drug Store and they proved their
merit by correcting the trouble after
other preparations had failed.’’
