would soon find the Ulstermen recog-
Dizing no government except the pro-

going to give way and were bound to
win, because God would defend the

Deadly Soft Nosed Bullets.
Upon setting foot on terra firma at
Vera Cruz l Immediately made my
way to the American consulate, hay
ing In my possession valuable para
phernalia which it was necessary to
place in safe hands Then I set out
for the Naval academy to take my first
pictures. That was on April %. In
the Terminal railroad station that aft
ernoon l saw a tragic sight. A blue
jacket with his head ripped open by
one Of those deadly Mexican bullets
lay dying With him were another
bluejacket, who bent over his MORALLY
wounded comrade, tanning him, and
a surgeon. "He hasn't a possible
chance" the surgeon was saying. mo
man has with those fendish soft
nosed bullets that work such havoc
as this" AS I approached he pointed
to frightful cash In the bluejacket's
left temple. The wonder Of 1t is"
continued the surgeon. that he is
alive four hours and half after the
infection Of such a wound as this" 1t
was. of course. as the surgeon had
said. The young American didn't have
chance. and half an hour after saw
him he was dead.
1 will admit that after that sight
the Naval academy did not strike me
as particularly pleasant destination.
But 1T was there that the scene Of ac-
ton was laid-and l had been sent out
to get pictures.
Humor Amid Peril.
There were three of us together,
q newspaper correspondent and a ma
rine. AS approached the zone Of
danger with my camera In readiness
we heard a peculiar crack. It was q
shot.
Look out boys; that's awful closer
cried the marine, cooking his rife and
looking about him In the hope of de-
tecting the sniper. At the same time
he pointed to shanty. the nearest
point Of refuge. We needed no urging
to seek shelter behind It. / remember

about raising prices! Well, you've got
to take your hat off to the Vera Cruz
fellows who feed the hungry with
money to pay for it as the prize ban
otis Of the craft. When l reached
Vera Cruz. these enterprising gentle
men were reaping the financial reward
Of the psychological moment to its
fullest.
You would pick up bill of fare and
notice that the old prices had been
crossed out. and in many places where
they were not thoroughly erased you
would see that you were being charged
double the former rates. The Ameri-
the equivalent of dollar and half
in the currency of his own country to
get anything approaching a square
meal. And that meal you could dupli-
cate anywhere in the United States
for 40 cents. The excessive charge
was not the only aggravation. 1t
would take an interminable time to
get what you had ordered. The serv-
ice was so wretched that after q two
hour meal full Of vexations one felt
like beating instead of tipping the
waiter.

eating places one day when l witness

me, but not to the victim, newspaper

eggs. After waiting ten minutes for
them they arrived, hard boiled. He
sent them back and repeated that he
wanted soft boiled eggs"
Much Ado Over Two Eggs.
Another long wait, after which two
fried eggs were set before him. Then
followed half an hour Of argument be-
tween the newspaper man on the one
side and the waiter and the manager
of the restaurant on the other the up

taken fifty minutes by the watch to
achieve his triumph.
Still IL wasn't a complete triumph.
He had yet to receive the check. Your
Vera Cruz restaurant man makes no
allowance for mistakes, though they
are his mistakes, and when the check
was made out it was for six eggs.
Another half hour was consumed in
argument, but It was a satisfaction TO
me and no doubt to the angry diner

The first call. however, doesn't mean
that the young admirer has blazed his
way to success. Lack of an invitation
to call again means to stay away.
Ringing Of front doorbells and in
quiries for the fair young senorita are
regarded as extremely bad form, such
bad form that it is likely to be fol
lowed by serious results, nothing less,
in fact. than bodily election from the
premises.
Being somewhat skeptical person,
had my doubts as to the truth of this
explanation. but on the collier Jason

can about It. THE story's true, all
