Towns interesting Experiment.

An interesting experiment has just
been made by the ladies of the Tulle
(F'rance) Red Cross society, who made
house-to-house visitation Of every
dwelling, rich and poor. asking how
much each inhabitant would be dis
poaed to contribute In time Of war in
money, clothes, furniture, etc. for
wounded who might be brought into
Tulle hospital.
It was understood that any surplus
would be given back to the donors. If
no use was found for 1t. The very
poorest insisted on adding their mites,
even II it was only blanket. pair
of shoes or cotton nightcap Wbel
they had finished the ladies added up
the result of their original quest, and
found that the hospital was not nearly
large enough to contain all the articles
promised. This. at any rate. is en-
couraging, for in actual wartime the
offerings would certainly be more
plentiful than for a fictitious case.

Better Soldier Than statesman.

One hundred years ago on the forty
nth anniversary of his birth. Lord
Wellington WAS rewarded with the
title of duke in recognition of his
success in the Peninsula campaign
against the French At the same time
the house OF commons voted $4,000
600 for the support of his new dignity.
Within little more than year the
famous soldier was destined to win the
great victory at Waterloo and to be
made the commander-in-chief of the
British forces. Later in life the duke
of Wellington became British prime
minister, but the strong personal quail
ties that had helped him to success
as soldier were not the qualities that
best befitted for the premiership, and
the career CT the duke as a statesman
added little to his fame.

THOUGHT 1T IRREGULAR jOB''
Old Workman, Grown Gray In the
Harness, Resented Being Looked
On as a Casual"

Bill Smith had worked at certain
firm for sixty years.
So the two sons of the employer
thought that he had worked for them
sufficiently long enough to be PEN
stoned off, and this they decided to do
at once.
So they called the old man into the
office, and told him that as he had
worked for them faithfully and well
all these years they had decided to
pension him of, but that he could
draw the same wage as he was then
earning.
The old man turned away, but he
was very much troubled and puzzled
about the matter, and the two sons
could see that he hadn't taken it at all
in the spirit in which they had given
it, SO they said:
We'll, Mr.. Smith, what's the mat
ter? Don't you like it?"
NO." replied the old man: II al

Shocking List Of HomieIdes, RobberIes
and Tortures Perpetrated by Car
ranza's GeneraI--Frequent Mas
sacres Of Prisoners
and Citizens.

Murder, plumber and outrage have
marked the career of Gen. Francisco
Villa, commander of General Carran-
za's constitutionalist armies in north
ern Mexico. His record is one OF al
most continuous crime and is worth
studying in view of the fact that if
the constitutionalist cause triumphs
he will at least be second in power
to Carranza
"Pancho" Villa has shown himself,
In the past year, to be possessed of
considerable military skill and the
fame of his victories has to a great
extent overshadowed the infamy Of
his crimes.
Villas Start In Life.
A biography of Villa compiled by
the Boston Transcript and read by
Senator Lodge in the United States
senate supplies the following facts:
Francisco villa was born at Las
Moves in the state of Durango about
the year 1868. He is wholly unedu-
Gated, being unable to read and barely
able to sign his name. About the
year 1882, when only fourteen years
of age. he was sentenced to term of
imprisonment for cattle stealing On
his discharge he settled in the mining
camp of Guanacevi, where few
months later he underwent another
sentence of Imprisonment for homi-
eide. When he came out of prison for
the second time he organized band
of robbers, which had their headquar-
tiers in the mountainous region of Pc
rico" in the state of Durango, and
were the terror of all that district.
In the year 1907 he was in partner
ship with one Francisco Reza, stealing
cattle in Chihuahua and selling them
