Gen. Matos, who led the last unsuc-
cessful revolution against President
Castro of Venezuela, is a great dandy.
Even when in the field with his army
it is said that he invariably wears
white gloves.
Once, previous TO starting his revo-
luton, he was arrested on suspicion
by Castro and lodged in the Caracas
Jail. At a gathering in the city a
number of tender-hearted ladies' were
deploring the hardships which Matos
accustomed to refinement and luxury
must undoubtedly be enduring.
Think of it," remarked one, 81
have been told that they make him
sleep on hard wooden beuchi"
And they say put in another, that
he is made to wear handouts
And chains around his ankles
walled third.
And, listen" whispered another. q
have been told that he has to-eat
with his fingers!"
There was a Mortified pause.

spoil" remarked an irreverent anti.
Natos individual.

new device, for the same reason that
Timothy took the wine-''for his
stomach's sake"-dropped in their
pennies and took a push and pull out
If the machine But that was all. No
result followed, and there was some
talk of blowing open the boarded
treasure.
At the end of the week the agent
reappeared. unlocked the machines,
garnered the wealth and retired, after
explaining that exercise was the
greatest thing for digestion in the
world" The crowd was SO paraIyzed
dat the agent escaped unharmed.
