Mexico City—Provisional President
Huerta’s formal negative reply to the

about the elimination of President |
Huerta, John jLind, President Wil

brief. It is expected this new docu
ment will be so written as to bring
an end to the relations between the
two countries before November 22.

him.
George McAneny was elected presi

NEAT WAY OF PUTTING IT
Remark of Small Brother Must Have
Driven Last Hope From Poor
Mr. Blinks.
It was it clear case of unrequited af
fection; but, despite numerous set
backs, Blinks persisted in his calls.
The lady's name was May, but her at
titude toward him was December. Her
ten-year-old brother Billy received
poor Blinks the last time he dropped
in.
"Is your sister at home?” asked the
suitor.
"No, she's gone out.”
"Ah, so I’ve come to the cage only
to find the bird has flown.”.
”No, you ain't,” retorted Billy. "But
you're like the month of June."
"How’s that?”
“Every time- you come in May goes
out.”
Drawing It Fine
He—Yes, Jack is very fond of draw
ing fine distinctions.
She—I haven't noticed it.
He—No? Don’t you remember that
the other night he was trying to ex
plain the difference between love and
emotional insanity?—Puck.
The Knockers.
"That bunch of geologists thatwero
visiting here yesterday—how did they
like the village?"
"They had their hammers out ail
the time they were here.”—St Louis
