S. BY MEXICANS Water Holes Along Route of Pershing's Columns Pre pared as Traps for Soldiers El Paso. May 13. (I. N. S.) Cya nide of potassium and powdered glass y have been thrown into the water holes and along the streams of the farthest front of the Pershing column, accord ing to evidences developed at lh Fort Bliss hospital. 'A number of soldiers returned from south of Casas Grandes are suffering at the post hospital with all the symp toms of cyanide polso.'ing. Including heart failure and lung failure. That they have not died is believed oue to the fact that an Insufficient quantity of the poison had been taken into their systems. A telegram has been received from Lieutenant Colonel C. A, Bell, chief of staff to General Pershing, asking for Information on chemical tests to 'ocate cyanide of potassium in wat-r, and asking how to discover glass spicules when they have been covered with grease jo they float. Four army lieutenants have been de tailed to take instruction on the cyanide tests. They will complete the superficial test at the earliest possi ble moment and proceed to the head quarters In ine ..jld for assignment. A telegTam has been torwarded to General Pershing's chief of -staff giv ing the simplest chemical method known of determining the presence of cyanide in pools or streams. The army here and all along the line has been guarding this turn in events carefully. The information which has now leaked out comes from a quarter which is not to be doubted- Large quantities of cyanide of potas sium have been stared in the silver mines of Chihuahua. It is used in the process of separating the silver and gold metal from the ores. The glass spicules or splinters, made by pounding and grinding up glass. are thrown Into hot fat and then dropped Into water. The grease cover ing causes them to float on the top.

' TWO little fairies perched them selves on an old stump and looked out over the hillside and mead ows. "Don't you sometimes wonder"." asked one of the other, "how Mother Earth ever thinks of all the pretty things she makes? How she plans the flowers and maps out the meadows and makes the many, many patterns she must use in her season's work?" Tcs, I do wonder that very thing," replied the other fairy, "and I've often wished I might ask her. But, you see. she is always so busy and so" v But never so busy that she cannot answer questions, if you please." called a voice close at hand. Who is tnis lady person you are wondering about, and what do you wish you might ask her?" The fairies both Jumped. They never guessed that anybody was near, and it was very queer to have their words -and thoughts ' answered s quickly that way. They looked around and upland down, but not a sign of anybody did they see. Did I dream that voice?" asked one fairy, "or did somebody really speak?" "You never dreamed that, my little friend flary," answered he voice pleas antly. "That's my voice, and I'm Just now talking to you 'But who are you?" questioned the fairy, who was more and more puzzled all the same. Then how the voice did laugh! "Don't you know your old friend, Mother Earth?" ssked the voice, pleas antly. "Mother Earth V exclaimed both fairies together. "We didn't recognize you at all! Haven't you a new voice?" "Not a new one." replied Mother Earth, "but my last spring one back again. I like my spring voice much better than my winter voice and I al ways get it out as soon as I can. But what were you wondering about? Maybe I can help you." "You surely can," said one fairy; "because it was you we were wonder- Truthfulness. V.Y. so OU cannot go into a department tore anywhere without hearing ome little child threatened with eternal punishment or being devoured by a big bear or a policeman by his the mother. In street cars ana on streets it Is the same. In the mind; of an Intelligent child there forms the Idea that its mother is either a fool or a liar. I heard one great man say that the most Impres sive memory of his mother was her lying modes of punishment for his naughtiness. Of course, one always looks back upon childhood days with sweetest memories; but I doubt if the murder ous threats so thoughtlessly given to children ever quite disappear from their minds. A mother should always inspire per fect confidence in her child. When sha says that she will give a child some manner of punishment ehe should keep her word. She can inspire confidence In no other way. A child who knows its motherwill do exactly as she says takes no chance with her nor advan tage of her. The silly, brainless woman who says, "Willie, if you move from that seat I will give you to a policeman," has no right to bring up children. She is a liar and her children know she is, and act accordingly. The confidence instilled in the minds of children begins with their birth.

"Not I!"i laughed Mother Earth; "hut I must tell you that I don't think up the designs myself. I only use the ones that are furnished me." "That are furnished you!" exclaimed the fairies. "Who in the world fur nishes designs for flowers and mead ows and such beautiful things?" "You'll never guess," replied Mother Earth, "so I'll tell you. Jack Frost makes all my patterns. He traces them on the window-panes and on the rivers and creeks. Maybe you think I sleep in the.' winter, but I don't. I study.

LILLIAN RUSSEiLL BY carry out to the letter, there will b no necessity to even speak quickly to a child when away from home. Every unfulfilled threat or promise to a little child Is a Jar to his or her growing manhood or womanhood. Fear should never be instilled In the minds of children, and yet brain less mother start their whole careers with the thoughts of fear. They make them afraid of darkness by shutting them in dark closets for punishment. They make them fear animals and even their own species the big police man, or some other bugbear. Of course, when they grow old enough "and learn the truth, they can look back upon their mothers as noth ing but prevaricators. Children are trying little vixens at time and require punishment, but there are always ways tbat are effective and leas' reflectively disas trous than telling threatening; lies. The beauty of tho mind can be cul tivated, and it is every mother's duty to cultivate the minds of her chil dren by steady and persistent veracity. She is their model, the only natural one for them to pattern their thoughts and actions by. Her appearance, her actions and her words are all they have to show them the way to the future until they enter schools. Fathers show the children nothing of their real selves, for they rarely take any interest in them until th mother has discovered their budding talents. Therefore the life of the whole nation depends upon the, moth ers, no iruimui in wora ana aeea to your own children. Theatres Miss Harriet Leach, coloratura soprano. 10 e. la. to 11 p. m.
