ant foes. In that retreat he saved the
lives of no fewere than four men, and,
in fact earned the Victoria Cross not
once but four times.
Never has Butler allowed a soldiers
life to be lost IL by any chance it could
have been saved; never has he re-
treated from the task of saving an
other mans life because his own hap
pened to be in danger. This is the ex-
PLANTATION of that awful scene between
him and the hapless Captain Carey,
after that officer had fed, leaving the
Prince Imperial to death at the hands
of the Zulus. The story has been often
told. but probably Pomeroy Colley's
version Is the correct one: where are
your meny" asked Butler. "How many
did you lose?" 'They are behind me-
l don't know now" stammered the I'M
fortunate man. Then said Butler saw
agely, you deserve to be shot, and I
hope will be. l could shoot you my
self" and then turned his back upon
him. This reveals the stern side of
Buffers character. With all his IA
miliarity and friendliness to his men.
he has always been stern dlsciplin-
arian. This is the impression he left
on Archibald Forbes, who saw him
during one of his South African c8m-
paigns: "a stern tempered, ruthless
saturnine man, with the gift OF grim
silence not less than a gift OF curt.
forcible expression on OCCASION" such
is the description given of Butler by
the famous war correspondent. "He
ruled these desperadoes," said Forbes,
of the Irregular Horse, %iifUfn Bnller
then commanded with a rod of iron.
Yet. while they feared him. they had
a sort of doglike love for him."

The woman Patriot of the oueretnro.

A statue has recently been erected
in the Plaza, Santa Domingo, in Mex
leo City, in honor of Donna Maria Jo-
sefa Ortiz de Dominguez, who is
known as the woman patriot of the
Queretaro. The wife of Don Miguel
Dominguez, the corregidor, or chief
magistrate of Queretaro; himself a
patriot, she became one of the leading
spirits at the meeting which the pa
triots held. Hidalgo, the leader, looked
upon her as one of his best allies. In
September, 1910. he announced his in
tention Of proclaiming independence on
October /, but before that day arrived
Captain Arias of the Kings Army,
who had pledged his support to Hi
dalgo. turned States evidence and re-
yealed the plot, naming among the
conspirators Dominguez and his wife.
Dominguez was warned in time, but
though secretly patriot, he was also
chief magistrate, and he felt himself
bound to proceed against the revolu-
tionists. Fearing, however, that his
wife would act rashly, he locked her
up in a room while he went out to
make arrests.
Fortunately Donna Maria had n
stanch friend in Ignaeio Perez. warden
Of the city prison, whose room was
Immediately below hers, and she had
arranged with him that If she ever
needed assistance she would tap three
times on the floor with her foot. She
gave the signal and Perez at once re-
sponded. 1t is said that Donna Maria
gave her instructions to him through
the keyhole. and the ponderous lock
and key of the palace door are shown
to this day in the museum of Quere-
taro. She told him to send a reliable
messenger to San Miguel to warn the
revolutionists, but Perez, unwilling 10
trust any messenger. rode there him
self and went thence to Dolores, where
he found Hidalgo. Seeing that crisis
had come the latter determined TO pro-
claim independence at once. and this
is what he did. The day was Sun
day, and as the people were focking
to mass. Hidalgo called upon them to
throw off the Spanish yoke. Thus be-
gan the long fight for liberty. The
statue erected to Donna Maria will
hereafter be one of the interesting
sights of Mexico.--Baltimore Amer
