of the fight against the liquor traffic.
We feel that with the law properly enforced the saloon

when the "outs' tried to push
Manuel Bonilla off the throne.
Christmas might have won again
but the night before the decisive
battle one of his fellow generals
got so drunk that he couldn't re-
member which side he was fighting
for and sent the plans of the next
days attack to the wrong Bonilla.
~ Christmas was captured and sent
to the cell OCCUPIED by one or the
other of the Bonillas for several
years. Manuel had luckily eseap-
ed with the nations handbook
into Salvador.
A few mornings later Lee was
led out into the street before line
of Policarpo's soldiers. The fir
ing squad raised their guns, aimed
at white paper pinned over Lees
heart and Christmas was sayilA
goodby TO himself, when the COM
handing officer, wishing to pro-
long the entertainment, asked the
American adventurer IL he had
anything to say before he died.
Eyes, no replied; II do not
want my body buried. l want It
to remain on top of the ground"
A Honduran's curiosity is easily
aroused.
"Why?" everybody cried at
once.
Because" he yelled back, 81
want the buzzards to eat me and
then scatter my remains all over
every one of you"
Such an insult had never been
handed out in Central America be-
fore. IT so enraged them that
they decided to retaliate with some
strange and awful punishment.
While they wrangled and quar-
relied among themselves over vari-
out forms of refined and unrefined
death torture, Christmas unbound
his hands. slipped back of the
prison and hotfooted it to the
frontier.
Soon afterwards he rode into
the capital again at the head of
another successful revolution and
again placed Manuel In the palace.
During a lull in Honduras Christ
mas kept his hand in training in
other Central American countries.
When Manuel was again chased
out of the country by Policarpo
and Zelaya of Nicaragua, and the
present executive, Miguel r.. Da-
villa, ushered into the palace,
Christmas returned to the United
States. Going to Memphis, his
home town, he found that his wife
had obtained a divorce and re-
married, this time to a plain, I'M
military, ununiformed carpenter,
Who. she said, would stand hitched
