Ehp government of Mexico is today
very different from what it was when
that state shared in the revolutions
still common In Central America. A
time was when there was no safety
for any one in that then turbulent
country. That was when the bandits
aourished. l.&.. e. .,-,->1S<.t ,s;
At this time lived Cortina, the great
est bandit that Mexico has ever known.
While factions were fighting for the
presidency the country was in state
Of chaos, and Cortina met no obstacle
In his wild career. He rode through
Mexico like cyclone, numbering and
pillaging by the way. What he did
with the wealth he took was not gen.
orally known. He certainly did not
carry 1t about with him. He spent a
great deal when in a position to use
money, which was not often. but even
this would not account for the enor-
nous amounts be should have accumu-
lated. f., -
Some supposed that he had hiding
places in the mountains and that even
tually he would buy immunity Of the
government for his crimes, make some
restitution and still have vast treas.
ure left. But Cortina never gave EVIL
dence of having such treasure. There
came a time when he could have used
wealth If he had had it to save his
life. Either he did not attempt to use
it thus or it was refused. The latter
supposition is not to be entertained.
There must have been some hidden
reason why Cortina was permitted to
plumber and why he did not grow rich.
There have been many theories. but
only one that fulflls the conditions.

presidency Of Mexico. To perpetrate

CURED This man. whose purpose it
was to overthrow the existing gov
eminent, had no means. 1t was sup
posed that he had an agreement with
Cortina by which the bandit was to
furnish the required sum. In other
words, so the story goes. Cortina was
to be permitted to pillage the country
on condition that the lions share Of
the plumber be turned over to the pres
idential aspirant for the purpose Of
attaining his ambition.
When the revolution : was accom-
plished it was supposed that an effort
would be made to capture Cortina and
punish him for his crimes. But the
government did not appear to be in
any hurry to do so. Cortina still swept
over the Mexican plateau, perpetrating
his lawless deeds. There came time.
however, when the people began to
murmur. and many unpleasant rea-
sons were given why the bandit was
permitted to continue his deyastations.
Then at last body Of mounted SOL
diers went out to where he was Oper-
ating, captured him and brought him
to the capital.
Everybody was surprised at the ease
with which the capture was accom-
plished. 1t had been supposed. ex-
cept by those who pretended to know.
that the robber chief would make a
splendid fight. Instead he surrender
ed ingloriously. The wise ones looked
wiser still and whispered that since
Cortina had furnished the money
which had established the existing
government there would naturally be
an understanding between him and
that government. He had permitted
himself to be captured. Would he
suffer the penalty Of bis crimes?
Those who knew most thought not.
Nevertheless Cortina was tried. con-
victed and sentenced to death. The
date Of execution was reserved for the
government to hx. Meanwhile the
criminal was confined In prison at the
capital. Several weeks after the SEN
tence the day had not been named.
AS many months elapsed. and Cortina
was still living. Then came an order
from the government to his jailers
that he should be permitted to go out
on parole each day. After that Cor

The dam is made from stones and earth
from the nearby fields, costs but little,
securing a pond of about three acres
which abounds in beautiful trout and
other fish, and from the pond Mr.. Nc
Donald cuts 500 tons of ice per year
for himself and neighbors.
1t Is really the most valuable land

almost think You are really inter-
ested, and perhaps are thinking now
where you have the best site for the
dam. Begin the work by laying down
sewer pipe two or more feet in diam
eter and twenty, thirty or more feet
long. according to the size of embank.
ment you must build. This can be in
the bed Of the stream, diverting the
water. for the time by little dam

pipe build a square. box of plank as
high as you wish the water to be in
the pond. 1t will take away lots Of
water safely in foods Near it's bot.
tom OH the upstream side fix a gate
OF plank which you can open to
drain the pond In summer for repairs.
II you put grating made, say, of

all done in good shape, you can let
