Motley Crowd OF Men, Women And
Children.
The Mexican soldiers were followed
by about fifteen hundred women and
children, many of whom had been
widowed and orphaned during the
battle. They were a motley, helpless
crowd of human beings, i'll clad
and half starved. A number of the
soldiers were suffering from serious
wounds and the majority of the
women and children were i'll from
fright and exhaustion. BY order of
President Wilson the refugee soldiers
were disarmed and informed, and ar
rangements were made to send them
to Fort Bliss. the big army post near
FL Paso, Texas. After a day or two
the border orders were given for
u march to Maria, Texas, a town on
the line of the Southern Pacific rail-
road. Then the MeXicans began their
journey to the promised land of food
and shelter. Nearly every family had
a dog, for the animals. terror stricken
by the noise of the battle, followed
their owners across the river. Those
who saw the march will never forget
the long train of human beings plod-
ding over the dusty roads of the Lone
Star State. Several stops were made
for rest and meals, and finally Maria
came in sight. There special trains
were in waiting. and after a ride of
several hours they arrived at Fort
Bliss, where the refugee soldiers, at
least. are likely to remain until peace
is declared in Mexico.
The Twentieth United States Infan-
try. which had been doing border pa

the refugees and have been in charge

twenty-seven hundred by nine hun

APen Picture Of the Irish
Capital and of the Fight
of Its Inhabitants for
Home Rule : Its Splen-
did Buildings and Fine
Monuments the Joy Of
the American Traveller.

I'm January l. 1901, the Irish
Parliament was abolished and
a legislative union established
~ between Great Britain and Ire
land A few days later the fight for
Home Rule began in the City of Dub
lin and the agitation has continued
along the most strenuous lines ever
since. These scenes have from time
10 time been told to the world in song
story and drama. It has both its hu-
morous and its tragic SIDE. and 4,
seems almost pathetic that just as
Home Rule was almost within the
Irishman's grasp the Ulster agitation
broke out and placed it beyond his
reach for some time at least.
Irish Patriots.
The Home Rule movement under
the name of tine Nationalist party has
been led by such patriots as Daniel
O'Connell, William Smith O'Brien.
Charles Stewart Parnell, O'Donovan
Rosa and Michael Davitt. At pres
emit the Redmonds and the Healys are
in the forefront of the movement.
Life has not been easy for the Ma
tionalists in Ireland and many times
they have been suppressed by coer-
eion acts passed by the British Par
lament, but like The proverbial bad
penny the Home Rulers bobbed up in
other and more militant forms such
as societies like the Molly Maguires,
the Young Ireland Party, the Land
League and the National League, etc.
all of which were merely political hot
beds of Home Rule. They were al
ways ready for fight-either by
word of mouth or blow. and In many
instances the agitation took on the
aspect of extreme violence such as
when the 'Invincibles' assassinated
Lord Frederick Cavendish. the Chief
Secretary of ireland. and T. H. Burke.
Permanent Secretary, on May 6, 1882,
in Phoenix Park. Dublin. Thousands
of Irishmen have been imprisoned for
their too strenuous fight for legisla-
tive independence from England. A
large number have been exiled from
time to time, and they have carried
their fight to the land OF their adop-
ton, thereby causing Home Rule so
cieties to be organized all over the
world.

Too Late.

On an Atlantic City pier. gazing
sadly out over the blue water, vet
eran of the Civil war talked about
the late General Sickles.
"A good man." he said. "a brave
man. but a most theatrical one. In
the black tragedy Of his youth, he was
kind to his wife. but something
marred, something vitiated his kind
ness-I think 1t was theatricalism-
and the poor young woman died two
years after he took her back.

Sickles rebuke man who was run

SCREENING THE
HOUSE FROM FLIES
The VIM. E. Mix Company
Does Artistic Work and
Work That VIII Last

Did you ever notice how well the
homes Of Ell PasO are screened? How
doWS and pOrches add 10 the exterior
appearance of the structure, and that
they all have the appearance of being
part of the architects plan?
There IS a reason
Right here in FL PasO is a firm that
makes a specially OF handling the best
screening made. That firm. is the VIII
liam z. Mix company representing
Burrows Rustless Screens
You perhaps have noted that homes
screened several years ago still look
goOd-that the screening does not
show wear and tear, and that it ap-
pears as good as new.
Again there's a reason.
The Burrows screens are famous for
not only their beauty and artistic de
sign but for their durability. 1t IS
little wonder that screens placed in
homes five to seven or eight years ago
are still doing duty and good condi-
ton when it is known that there are
some homes in FL Paso screened with
the Burrows fifteen years ago and the
screening is still doing yeOp1an service.
As the weaving and manufacture Of
screening has advanced, the Mix com
pany has kept abreast of the times
and IS playing an important part IN
adding to the artistic appearance and
the comfort and convenience of e.
Paso homes during the city's building
era This firm. making the screening
OF homes q speciality, and handling the
best goods made, is prepared to help
the architect carry out his plans of art
in home structure, and homes fitted
out with their screens are durably
fitted out indeed.
To screen a home with Burrows
screens costs, the firm claims only
about One-fOurth more than ordinary
screens and the goods will endure four
times as long. The Mix company
makes every home it contracts to fit
a special problem, just as the aren't
tect does. Experts, tasty in their
IDEAS, look over the property and sug-
geSt doors, windows and porch screen
ing that is in Keeping with the ar
chltecturaI structure and when the JOo
is done the home is not only thor
Oughly screened but its architectural
beauty has been enhanced. From an
economical viewpoint the owner has
acted wisely in installing rustless,
ncncOrrosive wire that will stand any
kind of weather for a longer time than
any other screening made. Not only
IS this true of the screening and
grille, but the frame work Of doors
and windows are constructed with
view to durability, making the Bur
rows screening the most desirable and
most economical to be had in FL Paso.
The William e. Mix company, a Ions
time in business in FL Paso, is ready
at any time to negotiate with GUS
toner and by the cOmpany's fair deal
has gained an enviable place in the
business world of the city.
If you screen your home through
this firm you viii act wisely, for the
Burrows company, which manufac-
lures the goods this firm sells and in
stalls, is conceded to be the premier
screen manufacturer of the country.
