EMBROIDERED BY BRIGAND
Pretty Little Romance of Mexican
Prisoner and His Faithful
Sweetheart.

In possession of w. C. Darlington
there is a knit tableclOth whose history
savors of a wild west romance The
by her father. who purchased it at a big
price. The work represents the labor
of three years of a Mexican brigand
while serving life term in prison, and it
brings to light an interesting romance
from country where romance abOunds,
relates the Pueblo Chieftain.
From Zapatlan in the state of Jalisco,
to Colima, in Colima, the republic of
Mexico, is two days journey over the
mountains. Yet in past ages these two
points were connected by big tunnel
the retreat of numbers of generations
OF brigands when pursued by the gov
eminent forces. There were at various
places air shafts for ventilation and once
inside the tunnel these robber chiefs and
their BANDS were safe.
Before the railroad went through
wagon trains were robbed on the Colima
side and the spoils disposed of on the
Jalisco side before the news reached
there. One rObber leader succeeded an
other, generations were born, grew old
and passed away. The tunnel became
impossible from side to side, rendering
each end only available. Some few
years ago there lived in Jalisco young
man of fine carriage. elegant manners,
apparently rich and undoubtedly of the
finest Castilian blood-a grandee in
every look and action. ~
He fell in love with a beautiful young
lady and. after making love in the Mex
lean fashion. they became "novicos," or
were engaged. The girls father was
asked for her hand and the day was
set. During the time eiapsing the young
man went away. as was his custom. for a
few days. to his hacienda. presumably.
Just about this time matters around the
border between Colima and Jalisco were
getting desperate on account of the out
RACES of these s1and pirates, who shell
tered themselves in this tunnel. So the
government sent a regiment of soldiers.
who surprised, caught and brought 10
Guadalajara four of the outlaws and
their leader The leader was neither
more nor less than our fine young Cas-
lillian.
His absences were marauding exped:-
tions and his riches the proceeds of
these same expeditions. His companions
were shot. but owing to the endeavors
of his devoted 'novia" he was given a
life sentence in Guadalajara peniten-
tiary. And every day of her life this
faithful woman goes to see her lover.
For three years this man. once leader of
fashion, once chief of his highway rob-
bers. grandee even in Jail, patiently
toiled on this cloth. carefully placing
the stitches outlining the dogs. the flow
er pot and flowers the emblem of Mex
leo, and birds shown on it. True to him
always. this patient little woman
trudged around to sell his three years
work. and finally did so.

WASHINGToN'S BIRTHDAY.

When God Of old this orb had made,
And raised the earth from out the sea
BE separate thou" tn Almighty said,
n land of Hope and Liberty.
Let mountain range and prairie wide
Roll Ger thy face in majesty:
From snow-capped hill to flowing tide.
Be thou the Land of Liberty.
Sons, gather here from ev'ry land,
From bondage chains forever free,
And guided by Omniscient Hand
Let fly the flag of Liberty.
Let truth abound and virtue reign.
And strife and wrong thy borders fee,
To God, your Father, raise the Strain,
And sing the Song of Liberty
In future years shalt thou arise
Unique In earthly records be,
Let gladstone paeans cIeave the skies
All hail! first Son of Liberty

Valley Forge in memoirs which are
preserved in France:
Soon l came in sight Of camp

there were flags and banners every.

II was bitterly disappointed, for
all that l saw when 1 entered were
few militiamen, dressed in all sorts
of ways, and most of them without
shoes. They seemed to be very poorly
armed.

Gen. La Fayette, to whom I bore let.

Under Washington's direction, the
negro tied a rope to a neighboring
