D'CUIR'S SAD DEATH
CONSTITUTIONALIST CAUSE ACT
ED WITHOUT DISCRETION.

Stanley Nj DrtOn and e.. II. Everson,
who drove the automobiles CARRYING a
party Of ConStitutionalist officers 10 Vic
toria, Mexico. returned last night They
were near Col Luciano DeCuir the con-
Stitutionalist officer who was killed by
ConstitutiCnalist scntries at Padilla,
midway between Jimenez and Victoria.
Saturday night.
Telling OF the accident, Mr. Morton
stated that Col. DeCuir had gone ahead
Of the autos Oh his horse, and reaching a
sentry i'll Padilla was ordered to STOP He
made a reply but did not give The coun-
tersign, whipped up his horse and start
ed ahead. One of the pickets suggested
that he might be federal. and it seemed
also thar he was under the impression
that the men he had attempted TO pass
were fCderalS. He lifted his rife. and is
said tohave fired four times. and the SEN
tries also fired vOlley. five shots enter
ing his body and legs.
Col DeCuir went ahead alone under the
protest Of his bodyguard and the others
with him. and through the misunderstand-
ing and his indiscretion hs death result
ed
The body was taken to Jimenez in a
buggy by his body guard and buried
there.
C1I DeCuir leaves 4 wife and two chill
dren. who are at present residing at Vera
Cruz.
The Morton and Evcrson cars did not
90 the entire distance to Victoria. but
learned of il small party of men reaching
a nearby place who were reported to be
fcdcralS They returned TO Jimenez,
learning later that the men were Consti-
tutionaliStS.
Mr.. Morton stated that the automobiles
had very exciting trip to Victoria, and
that the only car thai pushed on to the
city was that Of p. "A. Newman who had
with him Robert Runyon. a Brownsville
photographers. Mr.. Newman and Mr..
Runyon are supposed TO be on their way
back to MatamorOS.
Referring to the latest battle near Vic
toria. which occurred Monday, Mr.. Nor
ton stated it as his belief that the fed
eral force of about 1000 which was
marching toward Victoria from MOnter-
rey was not aware that the city had al
ready fallen into the hands of the Con-
StitutiOnalists. Their defeat he said was
decisive, and they are being pushed back
toward Monterrey by the Constitution
alist forces.
The people residing in the country be-
tween .Jimcnez and Victoria are i'm a
greatly eXcitable condition and several
times during their trip, the autoists saw
evidences of great fear among the poems.
However, there was no trouble of any
kind encountered, with the exception of
the indiscrction which resulted in De
Cuir's death.

Men Do Not Respect Flirts
The Flirting Woman Peculiar to America Abroad She Is
Regarded Of Light Character.

THERE was handsome Span
lard passing along a street;
and he glanced, no doubt,
admiringly at a beautiful woman,
sitting in her carriage, before a
shop entrance.
The woman met his glance with
a half smile. The man opened the
carriage door and took a seat be-
side the woman.
She screamed and ordered him
out.
But you smiled at me-" the
man said when a woman smiles
at me, l think she likes me to sit
beside her"
You fool, l was only flirting"
the woman retorted.
Il am a Spaniard, and we do not
understand the word flirting" the
man replied And l am no fool
The woman who fiirts with
strange man is the fool"
The man was quite right.
Only in America is that type of
woman found; the woman who
in reality is not vicious; yet who,
by her conduct in public places,
and toward strangers, compels an
observer to question her morality
and responsibility.
There are women who do not
seem to know the fine distinction
between a mans admiration and
his curiosity to test her good
sense. Such women not only en-
courage the attentions of stran-
gers, but frequently boast of these
attentions as a proof of their own
powers to attract admiration.
The wife of a successful bust
ness man, and woman possessed
of every earthly blessing. a good
mans love, a beautiful home,
health and youth. was heard re-
lating her experiences on a rail-
road journey.
A man had stared at her con-
tinually; finally he had walked
past her two or three times; and
at last had offered her a news
paper. She had accepted it; and
the man had talked to her until
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-09-30

No man will follow a woman
many blocks if she gives him no
encouragement. Not unless he is
a highwayman or lunatic. If she
refuses to look at him he will
give up the chase finally.
There are many men of a cheap
type who make advances to women
in public places, without any
cause. But if the advance is ig-
nored or resented, it is not re-
peated.
Let no woman imagine she is
possessed of peculiar or unusual
attractions because she has these
experiences.
And let her rest assured, If she
responds in any way to the ad-
vances of strangers-of men to
whom she has not been properly
presented-that she will be re-
garded lightly by these men, and
her name will be used by them in
ways which would bring the blush
to her cheek, could she listen.
Fathers, brothers, husbands, are
always indignant when women of
their own are subjected to such
attentions from strangers. Even
when they are subjecting other
women to such attentions.
1t is a curious fact that most
men have higher ideals for their
daughters, sisters and wives than
most women have for themselves.
This is because women so fire.
quently allow their vanity and
self-conceit to blind their judg-
ment.
Over in foreign lands lin all for
eign lands), a woman who per-
mits any man to show her the
least attention in a public place
(any strangely, at once brands
herself as a woman of light char
acter
And that is what she is, here or
anywhere in reality; even though
she may be guilty of no immoral
thought or act: yet she is so de-
void of the finer instincts and at
tributes which make up worthy
womanhood that she is light
weight in character.

fought on some of the very hills
and plains that they had just been
traversing.
To my surprise not one of them,
although they were "men of the
country" knew anything about it.
One of them remarked:
al Y a longtemps d'ici a Jules
Cesar" ct is a long time back to
julius Caesar.)
Only one of them exhibited more
than a polite interest in the sub
ject. When l gave him a book
upon it, written by one of his own
countrymen, and crowned" by the
Academic Franchise, he showed
some eagerness to trace the tOpog-
raphy of the ancient battlefield on
his ordinance chart. But still his
fellow officers were little i'm
pressed, and it was a great sur
prise for me to find myself in
structing a French officer in some
of the most interesting military
annals of his country.
The lesson of this incident
seems to me to have a universal
application. These men undOubt-
edly know well the technicalities
of their trade; they are good of
ficers; they would lead their men
on a desperate charge and win

medals for bravery; they know
how to handle small bodies of
troops and how to obey the direc-
lions of their commander-in-chief,
but they will never become such
commanders themselves.
No matter what a mans trade
is he must see more than that
which lies just in front of his nose
if he wishes to rise to the top.
If you know and care little about
the history of your business you
cannot become great in it. Can
you imagine Napoleon fighting a
battle on a field where Caesar had
fought before him without being
aware of the fact, taking the live
lest interest in it and perhaps de-
irving advantage from it? Do you
thing that Edison is unacquainted
with any of the great things that

science? Whether knowledge of
this kind bears directly upon the
precise work you have in hand or
not, it always broadens your views,
offers valuable suggestions and en-
larges the field of your operations.
A. T. Stewart knew the history
of all the great merchants before
him. The original John Jacob
Astor had the story of the fur
trade in America at his fingers
ends when he organized his
expedition across the continent to
found Astoria. 1t was only the
employees of these great men who
knew and cared for nothing ex-
cept the daily details of their
business who remained employees
all their lives.

The Moral; Young Men
Learn Your Trade
Thoroughly.

The moral for the young man
just making his start is: Learn
your trade thoroughly, do your
work with conscientious care, but
beware of stopping there, for if
you do you will stay there all your
life. Other men have fought bat
ties on your ground long before
your time, and if you know what
they did you may profit by both
their mistakes and their successes.
Don't neglect and forget the
Caesars of your business because
they lived long time ago!

The Roar of Mimic Battl,

At such a time the roar of ar
tillery, the rattle of musketry,
the galloping of cavalry, the rush
hither and thither of bodies of
infantry, and the flight of military
aeroplanes excites the astOnish

try people, marks out the course
of the roads with lines of floating
dust, and transforms hills, fields
and parks into the image of a vast
battle-ground.
At night every farm, barn and
chateau shelters, ''in the name of
the law" on the order of the may
ors of the communes, large numbers
of soldiers, troopers, horses and
officers. A company of infantry
takes possession of your barnyard,
starts its fire to make soup, and
passes the night in your hay NOW.
At 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning
