GUARDING A PRESIDENT.
An EngII~hman's Narration of His
singular Experience In the

Danger Of assassination i never
far from a president Of any ~ the
republics south u u.s. said Mr. John
Walker Braithwaite. Of London, on the
way from Mexico 10 his English home,
reports the Kansas City Star, ~and
they are guarded much more careful
" than many Of a. imagine, far they
make no great display in the matter.
''This fact was impressed on me very
strongly by personal experience in
the City Of Mexico last spring. I had
been thrown from a mule and had
suffered a severe sprain ia my right
wrist. in Consequence Of which / had

knew quite well, coming toward me,
accompanied by member Of his Off
cial household. They were walking
on the same side Of the street as my
self. and some co feet behind them
and at the same distance in front
walked two men, who wore no insignia
Of authority and IN no way showed
that they had anything to do with
the president and his companion
"As the two men in front neared me
they separated. making room for me
70 pass between them. and as I was
doing so the man on the left knocked
against my arm as though b. accident.
and naturally drew st ont and away
from danger. He apologized politely
in Spanish, took hold Of my hand gen
tly as he did 50 and asked II it had
been injured. As was accepting his
apology and beginning to tell of my
hurt the president came up and. greet
ing me heartily. laughed at the situa-
ton and explained that the two men
were guarding him and had Deliberate
