UNCLE SAM CARING FOR 4667 MEXICANS Rigged Aunt Zg Zigs Its Wiy l Uountiin Pisses, i Picture of Exhaustion. Marfa, Tex., Jan. 18. Foot ore, ragged, almost famished from their three days' march on foot uf 67 miles over a wind-swept mouutaia road, the 8, SCO Mexican Federal aoldiere rented from Ojiniga, Mexioo, by the rebels, with 1,067 women and about.SOO children arrived today within few miles of Marfa; They are to be traniported to Fort Bhti at Ei Paio. - The ragged remnant of the Huerta army.whioh sought asylnm in this ooantry rather than faoe possible extermination by the rebels, will ke formally inttrcel at Fort BIibs. as wards of thegor ernment They will b3 held there indefinitely on footing of prison ers of war. Geperal Meroado was confessed ly hnmiiatod uot' only at defeat and the necessity for flight, but because of a report that he would ba court-martialed should he re turn to his naire country. - Besides General Meroado and miugling wib the United States cavalrymen, who a at ed as guards, were the Federal Generals Castro, . Aduna, Lacda, or Pinal, and Ro mero, all shorn of their swords, but some still retaining their uni forms. The picturesque march abound ed with incident. The -birth of a child, the death of several wound ei Boldiers, the search for water in the desert,. the constant strag gling away from the line of march and the rounding up again of scores of the refugees were some of the difficulties with which the United States cavalrymen had to contend. The Mexicans outnum- be red, ihSiftsc art infr. American sot. diets 10 to one. Viewed from a hilltop, the on coming army as it zig-zgged thrcugh the mountain passes and reached backward into the dusty distance 10 miles away;. was a pio ture of exhaustion, although the prospect of booq reaching their destination seemed to revive c:ur age. Since ttny were routed from Ojinaga the Mexican soldiers have had only scant? food supplies. Their march to Marfa was made possible by the establishment of the three camps provided en route. But these camps were supplied with limited rations he cause all foodstuffs and water had to be carried by wagon. Many were pdorlyclad and without blankets and their suffering at night was intense. 'Of all the marchers, the Mexi can women are the best. There were instances of women who yielded their pUces on horseback or burros to men. AH semblance of the uniform ranks of an army disappeared dur iug the march. It was a carious mingling of people and animals, while in places the women, with their rd dresses and shawls, gave a touch of color to the scene. Wherever there was space in the line or between a horse's legs there was almost sure" to be a mongrel dog. A rooster saved from the wreck of Ojinaga, crow ed from the baok of a burro, to. which he was carefully attached with a leather string. Children perched on the top of burros that were almost covered with their burdeLs of domestic property, laughed and beat the animals with sticks. Now and then some one staggered to th9 roadside and sat down to be picked up by the relief wagons following the main body of refugees. Wide-eyed babies looked from the arms of mothers on the mov ing scene. Women, children and men from time to time yielded their places on horses or burros to seme friend or kiusmaa who need ed a reat. And so, soldierB and civilians, who had been through the battles and who had endured exposure, hunger and misery sud who had turned their batiks on their own country, tonight looked forward hopefully to lire in a' new and strange land. i El Paso, Tex.

Tokio, 500 miles from the vol canic disturbances, nas been swept for the past 24 hoars by minature cyolones, creating the belief that the capital was feel ing some of the effects of the eruptions.

Jn the dormant . season, with the- leaves off, one i .i t . i can see just wnat iimos to taxe out. A pruning saw should have a narrow blade so as not to bind and small wide-cut teeth for cut ting in green wood. A-saw is a much better tool for pruning than any other for it leaves a clean sur face and does not crush the wood, bark aud oambion Hke heavy power shears. Small hand shears are useful for quickly clipping out small shouts and suckers; for all other purposes the saw should be used. In the South one can prune any time during the winter for we scarcely ever have cold enough to injure the out surfaces. All dead limbs should be cut out, also all those that have any cankers or diseased places. All suckers or water sprouts should be taken out except where one is wanted to fill in a vacant space. Limbs that cross and rub one another cr that shade each other should be thinned out so that eunlight and air can readily get into any part of the tree On the other hand too many branches Bhould not be cut out leaving the tree with too few fruit spurs and good bearing branches. Whenever a limb iB removed it should be cut olose bo that no stub is left. A stub heals over badly and is likely to cause the decay of the trunk of the tree. Avoid the cutting - of very large limbs. Wounds over an inch in diameter should be given a dressing of as- phaltum or other water-proof paint. W. N. Hutt, in The Pro gressive Farmer. Congressman Dooghton Has Garden Seed for Distribution.

At the meeting of the Grand. ; Lodge cf Masons at Raleigh, one o tmo8 -significant actions": taken as the providing of $500 to. pay tor the treatment of needy; and worthy tubercular Masoni at the State Sanatorium at Montrose, and also the. appointment of a committee to devise same plan for ; permanently endowing Jbeds at the institution. -rf'-'- the funds provided by the State are utterly iaadequate to provide entirejy for the treatment of our tubercular sick, and hence it is necessary that those-entering the institution pay a minimum fee ef $1 00 per day. The usual cost for sanatorium treatment for : tuberculosis, equal to that far-, uished at Montrose, ranges from $2.00 to $3.00 or even $4.00 a day. Thus it will be readily seen that this action on- the part of the masons is an excellent forward step, not only from a humani tarian but also from a business view point. Some fraternal irdcrs trade unions and other rgauizations build and maintain expensive sanatoria, themselves, but iL this State it is far oheaper to divide the expense with the State. . This action on the part of the Masons is especially commendable as it doubtless marks the begin ning of such benevolence among other fraternal orders, clubi, oharcb.es, etc. To the Masons, however, belongs the credit of taking the initiative in this good work.
