COLORED BOY HAD NO DESIRE TO BE ' MASCOT ON BORDER

While the first section of the troop train bearing the Fifth New Jersey National Guard was standing in the Pennsylvania station Saturday afternoon, one small colored lad allowed his curiosity to become too strong, and stationed himself below a window from which two husky troopers were leaning. "There's our man," one of them yelled. "Get him for a mascot," the other one said. There was a wild scramble, and the small boy was swiftly hauled through the window by his neck and the seat of his trousers. Then the laughing crowd outtide saw, through the windows, a swift streak pass down the aisle of the car, and a moment later he stood in the crowd again. "Deed ah did'ntwant ter go to Mexico," he stammered. "Things down thyah are too hot foh me."
