MEXICO'S DARK HORSE
Manuel Vasquez Tagio seems to
be the "dark horse" In the contest of
the presidency of Mexico, and there
are many who believe he Is one of the
few men who can save that distracted
country.
The name of Tagle disappeared
from publications on current Mexican
affairs when Vlctorlano Huerta leaped
over the back of Pedro Laacurain Into
the presidency or the dictatorship.
Tagle had been minister of Justice un-
der Francisco Madero and he not only
refused to accept office under Huerta.
but he declined to take the man by
the hand. Yet the man lived there-
after lu Mexico City, walked the
streets, went to the theater, enter-
tained his friends at hla home and was
not harmed.
He has lived in Mexico City ever
since and no one else has harmed him
or tried to harm him, whether he be
Zapata, Villa, Carranza or what not.
The mobs have never looted his home,
never stopped his automobile in the street and, Indeed, It Is said, Tagle has
<one on attending to his business affairs throughout calmly and without com-
promise. That argues him a unique individual In the blood-drenched re-
public—decidedly a man out of the ordinary.
Tagle was born in Mexico City In 1854 and educated In preparatory and
law schools of the capital. He had no sooner been admitted to the bar than
IMaz made him official defender, but his zeal In defending the young news-
paper men who had dared to suggest another candidate for the presidency
won led to his resignation. He at once went Into private law practice and
did not again accept public office until Madero became president.
I\M MANN, KING OF DETAIL
James R. Mann, the Republican
floor leader, is the King of Detail.
Nothing Is too small or too numerous
for him to know all about. Ask Mann
what were the amounts of the princi-
pal Items In the agricultural appro-
priation bill seventeen years ago and
no doubt he could tell you without
pausing to move an eye-winker. It is
almost safe to say that he can skin
a gnat and that he can tell offhand
the day of the week when each of the
house page boys was born.
No minute detail escapes him.
He knows everything. Also Mann
never lacks for a word. The person
who willfully engages Mann in a battle
of repartee has much the same fool-
hardy point of view as the lad who
monkeys with a buzz saw.
Representative Johnny Garner of
Texas was the only person at the last
nession of congress who asked Mann
anything that ho didn't answer.
Mann got up one day to criticize
the Mexican policy of the present administration. Then Garner asked Mann:
"Just without going Into details, how would you dispose of the Mexican
«ituatlon7"
MRS. NICOLL A REAL WAR NURSE
Mrs. De Lanoey Nicoll, the beau-
tiful darling of New York society and
tho most famous woman genealogical
expert in the United StateB, was as
serious when she took that swift
course in hospital nursing laBt winter
as she has been with everything else
she has ever undertaken.
She is now in the Trench war
zone, dressed In her blue and white,
and seriously giving her services
wherever hey are needed. She is
only one of that bevy of society wom-
en who took up rapid-flre courses In
nursing when it became the fashion
to carry through her announced plans.
She not only knows fundamentals
of nursing, but is a fine cook as well.
And as convalescent soldiers can thor-
oughly enjoy appetizing food, she Is
bound to be popular among tbo pa-
tients In the army hospitals.
Beyond this, she is so exceptionally
good looking when in streot or eve-
ning garb that she must seem like a
ministering angel In a nurse's uniform Mrs. Nicoll was temporarily ma-
rooned In Germany during tho wirl/ parf of the war She was taken for a
apy before she got out of that country, and only her ability to speak the
4J«riuan tongue fluently kept her out of vrinon. In more than one way she is
a capable and remarkable woman.

ANSBERRY WAS SILENCED
Representative Timothy Ansberry
ot Ohio Is a talker whose voice pene-
trates to the deepest recesses of the
capitol. and when he speaks the roof
reverberates with his booming. A
whisper from Ansberry Is equivalent
to an ordinary man's talking, so the
foat of telling a joke In an undertone
1 one which he will be obliged in fu-
ture to deny himself.
One day Ansberry was telling a
good story to a fellow-member In
-what he Imagined was. like the voice
of Annie Laurie, "low and sweet."
But it resembled the echoing of dis-
tant cannon from the field at Ma
naasas
The icentleman who was speaking
ahowed his annoyance at the sound,
and Speaker Clark thumped his
icavel. Clark, who was once a school
teacher in bis days of callow youth.
Jwew just what to do. so be called
Ansberry up to the desk.
"Tim." be said In a low tone as bs
to reach that gentleman s ear,

"Henry, dear," announced Mrs. Up-
to-date, "I guess you will have to ad-
mit that I am a pretty good business
manager after all. I took Willie with
me to the movies this afternoon and
as It was raining when we came out
of the theater, I gave Willie 10 cents'
car fare and had him hurry home and
get an umbrella for me. In that way
I saved my new hat from being
ruined."
"Uh, huh," replied Mr. Up-to-date.
"Yes, I see, my dear; but why the
Sam Hill didn't you both ride home for
your 10 cents in the first place?"
"Henry! You—boo hoo—you never
give me credit for anything I do!"—
Judge.
Its Nature.
"So Clementina has dismissed her
admirer merely because he waxed hi3
mustaches. That certainly was a
tiwiing matter."
^'ou're mistaken. For a man to
wax his mustache is quite a serious
iffair."
Used to It.
"You got pretty well tanned while
you wore at the seashore, didn't you,
Willie?" said the visitor.
"That's nothing," retorted Willie. "I
get tanned most every day while I'm
home, too."
Status of ths Fist-Born Child Is a
Matter Over Which Scientists
Have Had Grave Differences.
Experts on children, eugenlsts,
hereditists and just plain scientists
are waging a more or less merry war
over the status of the first-born child.
Prof. Karl Pearson stirred up a veri-
table hornet's nest by his recent ar-
ticle Intending to prove that first-born
children are inferior mentally, morally
and physically. Other experts, it
seems, do not agree with him, in whole
or in part.
Dr. Charles Gilmore Kerley of New
York, who Is listed as a "pediatric
specialist" and is connected with in-
numerable institutions for babies,
comes forth with the conviction that
first-born children are inferior physi-
cally, but not mentally or morally.
This is some slight consolation to
those of us who were the first born,
but unfortunately pediatry and psycho-
pathy do not agree. Dr. Menas S.
Gregory, a well-known psychopathlst,
begs to state that tin first-born child
is liable to be infericr mentally, but
not morally or physically. This is less
solace to the first born.
But a cbarupio,i of the sorely ma-
ligned first boro lias been found in G.
Hardy Clsrk of Iowa, who in a re-
cent speech at the Child Welfare bu-
reau of the Panama-Pacific exposition
flat-footedly declared that the best
characteristics of both parents were
always to be found in the first born.
"When you marry, choose the oldest
child in the family aud you will never
make a mistake," was Mr. Clark's own
particular advice to tb<s lovelorn.
It is notable, however, that none of
the other experts back up their con-
viction with the rows and columns of
statistics furnished by Professor Pear-
son, who is connected with the Univer-
sity of London. Figures from many
countries and including many races ap-
parently prove, at least to Professor
Pearson's satisfaction, that the first
born has but a poor chance in this
world. Now that the distinguished
Iowan has reduced the problem of her-
edity to one of marriage, It was sage-
ly observed by a strictly neutral com-
mentator that the world at larg will
go on its tranquil way marrying and
giving in marriage under the wise
guidance of a tempered and regulated
impulse.

HIS WELL-CHOSEN RESPONSE
A woman Is not really adequately
clothed because she is draped in mys-
tery.
Large hopes grow from small seed.
Not Too Cheap.
"Talk is cheap," said the man who
is always quoting proverbs.
"Oh, sure," said the man who was
waiting for an opening to make a
touch. "Lend me five dollars bo I
can call my wife up on tho phone.
She's in Chicago."
Exhilarating.
"This mountain air fairly Intoxi-
cates one, doesn't it.?"
"Yeah. Regular highball, so to
speak."
Most things wear out with constant
use, except a bad temper.
Old Frenchman's Words, in Acknowl-
edging Gift, Were Certainly Short
and to the Point.
In a certain country town there
lived an old Frenchman named Le
Blanc. One night some of his friends
gave him a surprise party and pre-
sented him with a watch chain. That
week the local paper printed an ac-
count of the affair, saying that in ac-
knowledgment of the gift Mr. Le Blanc
responded in "a few well-chosen
words." i
Curious to know what the old
Frenchman said, someone asked the
reporter who -vas present what those
"well chosen words" were.
"Well, I'll tell you," he answered.
"When Charlie finished his presenta-
tion speech and held out the chain,
the old man—who had been eying it
greedily all the while—suddenly
snatched it from his hand aud ex-
claimed: 'Py chee, dat was a good
one!'"—Youth's Companion.
It's a good thing our buried hopes
don't need tombstones, or the supply
of marble would run mighty short.
A man may be as much a fool from
the want of sensibility as the want of
sense.—Mrs. Jameson.
Too many men don't even try to
make anything when they whittle.
Start Children
to School Right
After the vacation rest, school children should quickly settle down to the task
of learning. Do your parti
Parental responsibility does not end by sending them to school. The child must
be equipped with mind and body at their best.
And here the right food plays a most important part
Growing children need energy; the right kind and lots of it And energy comes
from well-nourished nerves and brain.
Grape-Nuts
—a food made from wheat and barley, contains the vital mineral salts—Phosphate of
Potash, etc. (grown in the grains) which directly act with other food values to build
up body, brain and nerves.
Statistics prove that much of the "backwardness" of some children is due to
faulty nourishment
A morning dish of Grape-Nuts and cream is good alike for the bright scholar and
the backward pupil. The latter needs the nutrition; the former wall progress in
sounder physical and mental health because of it
