exas National Guard on Rio Grande.
Brownsville, Tex., April 26.—
Within a stone’s throw of the Rio
Grande, the United States and
the Mexican border, a regiment
of the Texas National Guard and
two squadrons of United States
cavalry are encamped tonight.
The mobilization of a provi-
sional regiment of the state
guard, ordered by Governor 0.
B. Colquitt last Thursday, was
completed late tonight with the
arrival of Company F., fourth in-
fantry of Crowell. Only the Dal-
las battery of artillery is yet to
arrive. It is expected to reach
here before noon Monday. A
detachment of hospital corps also
has established camp.
Col. A. W. Blower, of Austin,
today reached the mobilization
camp and assumed command of
the Texas National Guard provi-
sional regiment, relieving Cap-
tain L. H. Young of Austin. The
state troops are encamped on the
United States government ground
adjoining Old Fort Brown, on the
south a small lake separating the
camping grounds of the state and
federal troops. The latter are
encamped in Fort Brown proper
There are approximately 1,000
men in the proyisional regiment
now here and this with the United
States troops gives this city about
1,500 soldiers.

Reports from Mexico are not
as encouraging as they might be.
While President Wilson has
agreed to accept the kindly of
fices of three South American
republics which have proposed
that the matters between the
United States and Mexico be
submited to them, the Mexican
people are so divided that it will
probably take a long time to
bring about peace, if the offer is
accepted by the different factions
in Mexico. Even then there can
be no peace for a time in Mexico,
and not without an armed force
to conciliate the beligerents and
keep peace by force. There has
been too much of turmoil in that
part of the world for it to disap
pear at the behest of a few men
no matter how much authority
they might be given. Prepara-
tions of a warlike nature con
tinue, and Americans and peo
pie of other nations are still suf-
fering from Mexican atrocities
A steadying hand must be placed
upon that entire country, and
when it can be taken off is a
question not yet solved. Time
only will tell what will happen
in Mexico, but that peace must
come in the end no one doubts,
but it may be very expensive

HORSE GOES FOR OWN SHOES
Big Ben Leaves Pasture, Deciding It
Was High Time to Get
Shod.
Gilbert A. Penney of Qnogue
turned his favorite horse, Big Ben,
out to pasture last summer, went off
cruising in his power boat and for-
got until a few days ago that he had
pulled his horse’s shoes off before
turning him out to graze, and that
it was time to have him reshod for
the winter, says the New York Trib-
une. So he was surprised when Tim-
othy Skidmore, the village black-
smith at Good Ground, Long Island,
''several miles away, called him up on
the telephone.
“Your horse is shod and is all
tready for you,” said Skidmore.
“What are you talking about?”
demanded Penney.
i “Why, Big Ben, your horse, walked
an here today and got in line with
the other horses being shod. I
thought it was funny that nobody
was with him, but I’ve got him all
shod.”
Then it developed, according to
lunofficial affidavits, that Big Ben
had escaped from his pasture and,
deciding it was time for his new win-
ter shoes, trudged to Good Ground
And walked into the blacksmith shop.
NO OCCASION FOR WORRY.
“They say when a man is drown-
ing he thinks of every wrong he ever
committed.”
“Well, don’t w<jrry; they’d have
ample time to rescue you.”—Life.
WHY HE WORRIED.
“Station master, can you give me
any news about that rumored wreck ?
This suspense is awful.”
“Wife on the train?”
“No, but I had a crate of eggs
(aboard.”

how Paint
The first cost of a good job of paint
—Devoe—is $50 (average size, of
course). The first cost of a second or
third or fourth rate job, $55 to $100.
The wear is likewise. The better
you paint, of course, the longer it
wears. And the more you pay for
your job, the shorter it wears!
Devoe is one of a dozen good paints.
There are hundreds of bad ones. As
likely as not, D^yoel'S the only good
one in this town. ‘'

Studying Newspapers.
The Brownwood Bulletin says
that “a good newspaper, studied
by the public school students
from first to last page, wiih par-
ticular attention to local and tel-
egraph stories and to clean, con-
servative editorials, should be
invaluable to the public school;
and in the course of a few years
we believe that it will be so con-
sidered.’’
v It is gratifying to note that the
idea of a newspaper reading
course in the publio schools is
meeting approval in the press;
for it is just about as important
that the students should know
just what is going on from day
to day as it is for them to be fa-
miliar with what happened one
or more centuries ago. As we
have stated before, the Temple
high school devotes a certain
amount of time each week to the
study of current events, and
there are many other schools
which do likewise. To save the
time which it takes to peruse a
daily paper, these progressive
schools use a kind of a weekly
digest of the news as a “text pa-
per.” Thus they get the news
already boiled down, and the
students do not have to spend
their time in searching out the
important news in the paper.
This saving of time is an attrac-
tive argument in favor of employ-
ing the weekly reviews as text
in th9 study of current events,
for the schools are called upon to
accomplish so much in so shor
a period of time that a sacrifice
of a few minute^ each day
amounts to a great deal with
them. But when one studies the
matter closely, one sees that the
reading of the news each day
possesses certain and many ad-
vantages over the reading of a
weekly review of the news; and
one is left to decide whether the
benefits to be derived from read-
ing the papers in school would
amply justify the time necessary
for the work.
This is a question that is being
discussed now and then, and as
time goes on the question of a
newspaper course in the public
schools is becoming more and
more popular. — Temple Tele-
gram.
