AN AUDACIoUS BANDIT.
For Years He Levied Tribute on the
Mining Company of Mexico.

The most audacious and magnani-
nous bandit that ever t1ourished IN
Mexico was Eraclio Bernal, who in the
end died a miserable death. Bernal
levied tribute on the mining companies
of Mexico for years. The local authori-
ties were powerless against him until
the strong hand of President D.az inter-
vened.
One of Bernars great exploits was
the robbery of the Jocuistita Mining
Company, an American enterprise in
charge Of Capt. Rawlings. At o'clock
on a fine June morning Bernal came
down from the mountains with eighty
men. He placed guards at the mine, the
mining office, the store and other i'm
portant points. After rousing Capt.
Rawlings from bed he assured him that
he was exceedingly sorry to disturb
him at so unreasonable an hour, but
that his business was of the most ur-
gent nature. In the first place, he ask
ed for 5000 in order that his robbers
might buy food. He did not intend to
rob poor storekeepers. AS it happened,
most Of the money was spent at the
company's store. Then he explained
that he wanted $4,000. Capt. Rawlings
said that he did not have this, and that
even in a week he could not get together
more than $4,000. All he had Oh hand
was $4,000. This Bernal finally agreed
to take.
When Bernal received his plunder

WILD GAME ABOUT EXTINCT.
Work of determination In Switzer'
land Is ll-Nigh Complete.

Switzerland will soon be entirely
free of wild animals if the rate Of eX.
tinction that has prevailed of late is
maintained. In the official archives IN
Zurich are records Of the various
kinds of beasts that once existed in the
land of the red cross. Evidences Of
beaver life have been found on the
shores of Lake Morat, the bones and
skeletons being fully six centuries old.
One Of the tributary streams which
feed the lake is called Beaver brook,
the title being due to its former inhab'
itants. That the name is old is shown
by the fact that no beavers have lived
in Switzerland since the twelfth or
thirteenth Gentry.
Brown bears were plentiful in the
mountain lands until the seventeenth
century. The last one killed Of which
there is any official knowledge came to
his end in 1893 in Barbereche. Nova.
days the bears that are raised in Berne
for various show purposes are import
ed young from other countries. Deer
were more than plentiful in the high
lands in olden times, but they were
cleaned out pretty well in 174S to 1850.
There is record in the Swiss archives
that a deer was seen in the woods in
1871, but it was apparently far from its
own stamping ground.
Up to the seventeenth century wolves
were such plaques that several can
tons offered substantial premiums for
their heads and skins. 1t took ages to
chase them off the plains, and fully 100
years more to clean them out of the
highlands. Not live wolf has been
seen in Switzerland since 1887. The
lynx disappeared about the same time.
Wild boars were numerous in the fif-
teenth and sixteenth centuries, but
none has ben encountered since 1900.
A few wildcats are reported to have
been shot since 1891, but the authori-
ties doubt the authenticity of the re-
ports.
Not less than seven prominent kinds
of quadrupeds have been eXterminated
In Switzerland in five centuries, not to
mention the world-famous wild goat,
or chamOis. A few Of these beautiful
animals are raised and kept by the
landlords Of some of the leading resorts
to maintain the impression that cham
ois are part and parcel of the Swiss
mountains. But they are domesticated
and are vastly different from the timid
little animals that nobility used to hunt
and poets rave about.-New York

Emperor william rs a Robber.

Emperor William never plays cards
except for very low stakes. Yet in a
game with Leipzig lawyer, once upon
time, the latter lost twenty marks.
He laughingly exclaimed: 81 have got
into a regular robbers den." Every
body roared with laughter, the Emperor
as heartily as the rest. When his ma.
jesty was staying, the following year,
ut Barby, and noticed the lawyer, he
went up to him, handed him twenty
mark piece set in diamonds, in the form
of scarfpin, and said: Restored by

There are still a few business men
VINO do not believe that advertising
pays. These men try printers ink oc-
casionally, and when they find no i'm
mediate results they discontinue the
practice. But advertising Is cumula-
1--WE. 1t must be done regularly
steadily, persistently and intelllgentlv
and If it is done in that way the re.
suits are certain. One thing is abso.
lutely beyond contradiction, and that
is that those who advertise do the busi.
ness and that those who do the busi-
ness do more advertising.
The favorite argument of the non.
advertising merchant is that he is so
well known to the community. adver.
tising couldn't do him much good: that
the people already know where he Is
located and the class of goods he car.

ssThe big hats the ladies wear

but it must be confessed, young Ia

OCTOBER WEATHER
As Forseen by Prophet Hieks-A Large
Variety Promised.

Rev. Hicks, in Word and Works,
predicts many storms aud weather
pertubations during October. The
Mars period extends from October lst
to the last Of November, hence the
weather existing at the beginning Of
this period will typify the character
OF The weather the whole period.
Rev. Hicks also states that as all the
planets except the earth and Neptune
are near the same celestial longitude
(bunched on the same side Of the sun)
we may expect solar terrestrial phe-
nomena out Of the ordinary.
The storm period for October will
be sth TO 18th; 18th to 18th; Goth to
Goth and the goth. Heavy sleet,
rains, snow and warm and cold waves
will likely make up the conglomerate
weather the coming four weeks.

J Necessary Element of Trade.

The remarkable evolution OF news
paper advertising from the crude
and quaint efforts of a century ago
to the extensive and descriptive
character of the business announce
nents OF the present is illustrative
of the growth and extension of com
mercial enterprises. This modern
system of advertising has become a
necessary and inseparable element
of domestic trade, and its universal
value and application are fully rec
ognized by the progressive merchant.
He uses the columns of a popular
newspaper on the principle that
everything which may be legitimate
ly sold or exchanged may be adj
vertised, and carries out his belief
by giving to the public ample and
constant information regarding the
wares he may have for sale.
