MADERO THE MAN Red Cross Executive Describes Personality of Now Famous Mexican Leader. “In Francisco I. Aladcro one sees no trace of t he military leader,” says Ernest 1*. Bicknell, National Director of the Ameri can Red Cross, who lias just re turned from the Mexican border, where the Red Cross is caring for Mexican refugees and wounded Mexican soldiers, “in phyisque he is unimpressive, in manner quiet and unaggressivc. llis ex pression is pleasing and gentle. In conversation his face lights up and one sees in him the ideal ist, the. dreamer. Instinctively oue feels the absolute sincerity of the man and is prepared to believe him capable of the great est sacrifice for his people and ‘ country. But there is no sug gestion of the fanatic. That he is a man of education and cul ture is always apparent, and his use of the English language many educated Americans might well cnvi. It is impossible not to be lieve that he must have resorted to arms and warfare with the greatest reluctance, and one ques tions whether he could control and direct extensive military operations, with the opportunities which they afford for the play of passion and the selfish ag grandizement of ambitious lea ders. “Of many of the officers in command of the insurrecto forces which captured Juarez, a wholly different characterization is in evitable. Motives are too subtle for cursory discovery, but the impression one gains from ob serving 3ome of these men is that they are primarily adventur ers, inspired by love of excite ment and change, or by an am bition for power or plunder. The cessation of hostilities and de claration of peace wrere not wel come to these men, and no one familiar with conditions will be surprised if some of these rebel leaders continue to be. a source cf disorder and obstruction to the reforms which Madero is hoping to effect. “No sooner was Juarez taken and peace in sight than jealous ies broke out between the Mexi can iusurreeto army leaders ami the foreigners, who, as officers or privates, had joined the rebel ranks. Jlany Americans of the iusurreeto army were charged with looting Juarez after the city was taken and were forced to flee across the river to El Paso. P»y other means, also, a process of elimination began which promises soon to clear the ranks of the foreign element, whose services had been joyfully welcomed while there was light ing to be done. Any sentiment of indignation at this apparent in justice is tempered by the com monly accepted belief that the motives leading a majority of the Americans to take up the insur reeto cause were not wholly al truistic. There can be no ques tion, however, that the reckless daring of these Americans was a large factor in the iusurreeto success.” COURT HOUSE NEWS.

Prisoner—Vou’d better make it during the lives of my wives, judge. Defined. An optimist Is just a wight .Who wakes up on a gray day And smllos as murh. from morn to night, As if it wpre a May day. Revenge. "I had such a good time the other day watching my wife’s discomfiture.”' ‘‘Nice thing to say. How was it?” “She is so hard and fast in her rules about the house—won’t even al low me a cigarette. Well, the chim ney began in the morning and smoked all day in spite of her.” Its Business. “I don’t see why you folks in this police court keep a barometer to tell the weather by.” “Why not?” “Because every day in a police court is a fine day.” A Vain Effort. “Did Tupper understand much of Sarah Bernhardt's performance in French?” “No. He carried along a hill of fare printed in French, but it didn’t seem to help him much.” In His Own Defense. The Prisoner at the Bar—Now, I asks yer, gents of the jury, if Pd got away with all that swag, like they say I did, d' yer s’pose I'd have hired this here little $15 lawyer t' defend me?—Puck. A Pessimist. “So you believe the worst is yet to come?” "Yes. This year’s Fourth of July celebration is still on the calendar of future events.” UNCONVENTIONALITIES. “Ib that a now hat, Mr. Slowgo? Please put it on amt let mo see how a rear view of It looks." “Of course, I’ll review your new book if you wish, Mr. Homs, but I can tell you without reading It that It’s rotten." "Mr. Means, you know perfectly well that 1 am marrying you because you are rich and in feeble health.” "This little delay in cashing your counter check, sir, is to give the pay-i Ing teller time to ascertain your bank; balance and to find out whether or not the signature Is genuine." "You oughtn’t to talk so much, niobbs; your voice Is disagreeable andi your conversation bores me." "Yep, sir, 1 remember your face quite well; 1 was in hopes i never would see It again." "You don't look a bit like your; younger sister, Miss Tiggle; she’s handsome." Wifely Sympathy. The coarse, burly ruffian was on, trial for whipping his wife. The testimony against him was <11 reet and conclusive. “Prisoner," said the indignant po lice justice) “there is no use in impos ing a fine, for your poor wife would work her fingers off in pay it for you. I shall send you to the workhouse for fiO days." "Your honor,” protested the weep ing woman, “Hint ain’t half enough! You ought to soak him for six months!" The Uplift. “Have you taken' up the city beau tiful idea out here?” nsked the stranger. “Yep,” replied Hie native, "we’re' goin* to pave Main street tills spring, and some of the folks are tryin’ to have tlie waterin’ trough in front of tlie courthouse decorated with a' statute of Physic.” Short Measure. “Do you use condensed milk at your house?" “1 guess so. We order a quart a day and the milkman squeezes It Into a can that holds about a pint.” NO DECISION. Dad and George were engaged In, one of their interminable disputes over the past and present. “Anyway,” said George, "we dance better than you did.” “Dance!" sputtered dad. “That ain't dancing. Here, let me show you." And he began turning round like a teetotum, and then the rug on the polished floor slipped from under him and he came down with a crash that shook all the magazines from the 11 brnry table. “Let me show you,” cried George, and he gave a skip and a slide that carried him clear under the piano and banged his head savagely against the rosewood stool. And the question remains undecided. FINAL NOTICE TO REDEEM TRACT NO. 750. In The District Court of Richard son County, State of Nebraska.
