Castro's Star.

In spite of the hostility Of the whole
world President Castro of Venezuela
manages to keep himself in power in his
own country. He is a little man who
walks with limp. His lameness was
caused by bullet wound received when
he was making his theatrical campaign
for the presidency.
On one occasion Castro was sitting out
dance with the wife of the American
minister. AS was Napoleon, he is firm
believer in the influence of astronomical
bodies over the destines of men. On the
night in question the sky was radiant.
One big star was so brilliant that it at
tracted the lady's attention.
Look at that star, Mr.. President, !"
she said. 1T seems to be watching over
the whole earth /"
That is true, replied Castro gradilo-
quently. THAT star is my star When
that star shall fall shall fall.
There was an arrogance in his tone
that left no doubt in the mind of his
nearer that he was fully convinced as to
the accuracy of his belief. He made

Washington, D. C.-Declaring that
the women concerned sacrifice their
souls and their honor on the altar of
snobbery and vice." Representative
Charles McGavin, of Chicago, took
occasion in the House to denounce
''the international marriage habit" on
the part of American heiresses. It
was only few days ago that Repre-

what the early pioneers who battled

are the exceptions that prove the rule.
Unhappiness, shame and ignominy
have come in most of the internation-
al marriages.
The most recent American heiress
to sue for divorce was the Countess
of Castellane, who was Miss Anna
Gould. This was love match that
ended disastrously. And when Miss
Gould married the picturesque Boni
it was confidently believed it was a
union that would bring happiness to
the bride. Miss Gould brought ST.
10000 to her Count.
There is a prevalent opinion that
it is safer for young American
heiress to take up the lion tanning
business and to plunge on the races
than to marry title. The general
view seems to be that with such a
marriage she is sure to lose her
money and her happiness, and is
lucky If she gets off with her life.
