Last week despatches from Chihuahua City spoke of “almost @entinnous running fighte” waged by Mexican forces under Gen. and Col. Zuasus with the bands of Martin Lopez in Northern Durango. “Drives” are announced against the bandits between Parral Rosario; and Gen. Trevino pointe to the number of well known leaders that have been killed lately, explaining that he is epecial efforts to exterminate the chiefs as the surest way to the riff-raff of followers into submission. All this looks as if eome of the plain truths put before Carranza the United States Government concerning the sluggishness of his campaigns against the bandits had not gone unnoted, The First Chief may from time to time utter swaggering and Gefle:st phrages meant for home consumption. But apparently he is met beyond realising the expediency of action that will tend to raise ‘Bis credit at Washington. Nothing could be better calculated to fecilitate the work of an Gnternational commission or to hasten a satisfactory understanding Between this country and Mexico than plenty of systematic bandit hunting ecross the Rio Grande.

She gnasheth her teeth and tosseth her chin, saying: “Oh, very well! He shall see, he shall SEE!” But, upon the fifth day she is reconciled. She casteth him out of her thoughts, She doeth her hair a new way, She beginneth to “take notice.” She observeth that there are OTHER men. She findeth another “twin soul.” And, upon the sixth day she hath forgotten him utterly. (For a man’s love thriveth upon ho; but @ woman's heart must have something more substantial to feed upon.) And, upon the seventh day his lettor arriveth. And lo, the maiden receiveth it with surprise; she openeth it casually; she skimmeth it languldly. She passeth it to her Chum, saying: “Look who's here! Even he, concerning whom | was SO silly, Last Week!" And her Chum yawneth and maketh answer, saying: “I never COULD perceive what thou io bimi" And thus endeth @ Perfectly Good Flirtation.
