himself editor of a paper. Miss Per-
ry has worked on newspapers from
New York to San Francisco and has
four times edited papers of her own.
She was editor of Governor Steunen-
berg's paper in Idaho and helped
battle against the anarchists. She
met Chief Andrew John when she
was child of six. The Indian took
a liking to her and had her go
through the tribal form of adoption.
Mrs. Eisenhart has also been a life
long protege of Denman Thompson
and might almost be said to be the
ward of the famous playwright and
actor.
Alone she made the trip to Guate-
mala over the proposed route of the
Pan-American railroad, and her de-
scriptions of the wild country were
widely printed through a newspaper
syndicate.
Miss Perry declared that she had
but one regret in becoming Mrs.
Eisenhart-that she could no longer
be newspaper man." The groom
is favorite with the Mexicans, and
was the only American orator who
delivered a speech to the natives on
the celebration of Juarez day
throughout the republic. If the La
Corona mines turn out as they ap-
parently will, Miss Perry, as Mrs.

In the land of Cato.

A New Yorker who spends a good

amusing incident which illustrates
the absurdity of the censorship as
practiced in that country.

year or two ago. there was born a
bouncing boy. The young Novelli,
of course. fastened to communicate
this interesting news to his father,
who was at this time touring South
America. and the telegram read:
"Ermente Novelli, Buenos Ayres.
Boy. ENRICO."
Several hours later the younger
Novelli was summoned to the tele-
graph Office. where the following con
vensation took place:
Superintendent-W would not,
of course, let your telegram pass.
Novelli-Not let 1t passl Why in
the world shouldn't 1t pass?
You made a mention of the fact
that 1t was a boy.
And so | did. What of that? Isn't
IL true?
That is what we do not know as
yet.
Look here. what are you driving
at? You must be crazy.
At any rate. public order demands
that the news be not made public.
Made public! Am making II

birth OF my son got to do with the

HORACE
GREELEY
PERRY
MarrieS Henry L. Eisenhart,
a Marion County Boy,
Now in Mexico

Nearly every person in the West,
engaged in the newspaper business,
will remember Horace Greedy Perry.
Well, she married Henry L. Eisen-
hart, Marion county boy, who was
born and raised at Silverton, and is
now engaged in mining in Mexico.
Four years ago Horace made her
advent into Portland. She was the
society reporter on the Oregon Jour
nal, then little red-eyed rag; then
she went to one of the other papers,
and finally did few journalistic
stunts for Billy Swope on the Sun
day Mercury.
The narrator of this event remem-
bers that Horace was good report
er, but she was continually asking
the city editor to be allowed to don
mems apparel and write up the
slums.
When Miss Horace Greeley Perry
set out on an assignment in the wild
district to the extreme western end
of the state Mexico, republic of Mex
leo, she gave no more thought to
the possibility of a romance in which
she would figure as a principal. than
she did to the dangers of a trip
through a wild country over 100
miles from a railroad. She knew that
but one other white woman had made
the trip. and this woman saw her
husband murdered before her eyes,
and herself, terribly wounded, just
managed to escape with her life.
This did not stop Miss Perry from
tn eassignment, but she travelled
alone 100 miles, except with an In
dian mozo, slept wrapped in a blan-
ket and arrived safely at the LaCor-
ona, the famous old mines which had
been worked by the new bonanza.
Henry L. Eisenhart and some associ-
ates had struck new bonanza. Hen
ry L. Eisenhart was the general man
ager of the mines, and he gave up
his quarters to Miss Perry. 1t was
the same room in which Col. Rem
mitt had been murdered by the In
dians, and in which his wife was mu-
tilated with machetes. Even yet the
walls bear the marks of the strife
which had developed into an interna-
tional affair, and which caused Mex
leo to pay to England an indemnity
of s65,OOO.
Mr.. Eisenhart showed Miss Perry
over the mines, and was very atten-
tive. Within two months he had
come to Mexico City, and within two
days after his arrival proposed. Miss
Perry urged delay. but he declared
that he had to go back to the mines,
so it was agreed to have the wedding
in Ell Paso, that the ceremony might
be on American soil, and later a
church wedding in Mexico City. This
was done and Mrs. Eisenhart is now
occupying the room in which the one
white woman who proceeded her was
almost slain.
Due to the fact that she was the
adopted daughter of Chief Andrew
John of the Senaca tribe of the Six
Nations in New York state, she has
no fear of what the Indians might
do. On her first trip to the mines she
told them that she was the daughter
of chief, and that was enough.
They followed her pony and decorat-
ed her bride reins with flowers.
Mrs. Eisenhart's name indicates
that she inherited her taste for news
paper work. Her father was T. NJ.
Perry, of st. Paul. Mimi, and was
