Reasons Which Caused a Train Crew to
Make for This Side OF tho BortIer.
Recently there arrived in FL Paso on
the Mexican Central passenger train a
brakeman lately employed on the jim
ulco division no had been compelled to
fee from the country Or take his chances
of going to Jail. His name is with
held by request as he said he might
want to return some day and, more
over, persons ignorant of the cord tions
in Mexico might misconstrue his sudden
flight
On Sunday last he was running on
freight train between Jimulco and Tor.
reon. The track is very crooked and it
is impossible for an engineer to see
any distance ahead around the curves.
a party of five MeXicans were walking
on the track and on account of the
curve the engineer was unable to sec
them until he was only Il few feet
away. He instantly applied the air,
but it was too late.
Two at least of the crowd, one q
man and the other apparently awoman,
were struck and knocked off the track.
The engineer instantly put on all the
steam he could carry and ran on at full
speed without stopping to learn more.
At Torreon the train was sidetracked
and without saying Il word to any one
the entire crew departed in different
directions. The conductor and engin-
hra To-
man and fireman disappeared. and one
took the passenger train for El Paso
that came along an hour later. The
last arrived here last night without diff
ficulty.
To a reporter he said: "The condi-
tions are something ten ible for al
American railroad man in many parts
of Mexico. Around the big cities 1t is
not always so bad. but in the rural
districts it is terrible. The ignorant,
petty officials think an American has
no rights Mt all and our consuls as a

This effect should not be attempted
by very short woman, as the ar
rangement of lines tends to make the
figure look abbreviated. With such
a gown the same idea should be car
ried out ON the bodice. The waist
should be cut double-breasted across
the chest and fasten on the left side.
This is the best model for displaying
diagonal lines of insertion on q

And woodland shades are growing

A beat OF wings upon the air.

BILLIARDS AS A
GAME FOR WOMEN
Drawing the Balls Properly Is Hard
But Cit and Follow Shots Are
What lax the Patience.
(By Mrs. Frank Hoppe.)

by Mrs. FRANK HOPPER
It is now six months since I began
to play billiards. 1 got the idea from
watching my SON. Willie, play ] started
with many misgivings, but the longer [
persisted the more interested l became
in the game. [ hope to see the time
when women will play generally.
We have gone into nearly everything.
but billiards has not brought out any
women players OF prominence. There is
a great deal OF playing among them in
their own homes. In this way the game
is making great progress, growing more
popular every year.
NOT \ TIRESOME GAME.
1t is easy to see why billiards is not a
tirasome game. 1t is so interesting.
There are so many novel stua lions in
different plays that the mind never tires.
There is not that sameness common to
such exercise as bicycling.
AS far as exercise goes, l never felt so
we'll as 1 have since devoting myself TO
billiards. l think nothing of practicing
six and seven hours a day. ! begin about
8 O'Clock in the morning, and, after al
lowing a half hour for lunch, continue
most of the afternoon. My son. Willie,
plays with me most of the time.
Anyone would think such continuous
exercise woa!d become firing. especially
as there is a lot of reaching TO be done
and considerable walking also
At first 1 did feel a little worn out
but my system soon became used to the
routine. and I gained strength and health
as l went on.
CONSTANT PRACTICE.
Six months is not long time, to be
sure, but constant practice does a great
deal in anything. and billiards is no ex-
ception to the rule. In a year l expect
to be able to hold my own with the best
amateurs in the country.
I find that my most difficult task is
learning how to draw the balls properly
This is one OF the hardest things in the
game to master, and l spend most of my
time practicing it. Other difficulties are
cut and follow shots. These tax my pa
tience also.
Willie, my son, sets ME a good example.
He is twelve Years old. and all the ex-
perts say that by the time he reaches
sixteen he will be the worlds champion
He understands the game thoroughly.
and when he grows so he can reach over
the table better he will have little 10
contend with.
[ watch his plays with the closest at
tention and although it may seem a queer
thing to say, I earn something new from
him every day.
Ii [ meet with the success which 7
nope, i am sure my example will be ar
