VILLA AS 4
MEPH|STOpHELES
Says Terrible Eyes of Mexican
Rebel Explain Power.
A VIVID CHARACTER SKETCH
e. Alexander Powell, Author, Gives His
Impressions of the Grim and Sullen
General Whose Ferocious Personality
Dominates and Awes the Bravest
Men of His Command.

SCTcFdi cfOSlOua PERSONALITY
Dominates and Awes the Bravest
Men of His Command.
In the New York Times E. Alexan-
der Powell, author of Gentleman
Rovers' and 1.-THE Last Frontier
gives a vivid pen picture of General
Pancho Villa, the Mexican rebel chief,
which shows the type of man he Is.
He says:
He is stockily built and Of medium
height-not over five feet ten, l should
guess-with the chest and shoulders of
a prizefighter and the most perfect
bullet shaped head / have ever seen.
Receding from the back of the neck
and from the jaw, 1t tapers upward in
the most extraordinary fashion. His
head is covered with black hair as
crisp ard curly as a Negroes. His skin
is the color of a well smoked meer-
schaum. A small black mustache
serves TO mask a mouth which is cruel
even when it Is smiling.
Eyes Like GimIets.
THE most attractive feature of the
face is the eyes, which are large and
brilliant and extraordinarily piercing.
Indeed, they are really not eyes at all,
but gimlets, which seem to bore into
your very soul. After | had looked
Into them | began to understand the
deadly fear In which his su~bordinates
stand of him.
THE condition of the room in which
villa received me was indicative of the
disorder which marks the present stage
of the revolution. Lined against the
wall was a row Of canvas sacks. each
stamped $1,000 There were thirty In
all; l counted them. They doubtless
comprised the war chest Of the rebel
army. Piled ~carelessly In one corner
were a dozen Mauser rifles, two or
three cavalry saddles and a half empty
case of ammunition.
Villas Wife.
Sitting timidly on the edge of a
chair at the back of the room was a
plain faced little woman with a black
shawl drawn over her head, peasant
fashion. 1t was Villas wife. In
strange contrast TO her cheap garments
We're the splendid rings which blazed
IN every finger of both hands.
always grim and sullen when an
gered by anything, no matter how triy-
ial, General Villa becomes as ferocious
as a wild beast. He has about as much
regard for human life as q tiger.
"As l rose to take my departure Vii
la, though obviously In considerable
pain, stood up and took my hand.
"Goodby, general l said. Perhaps
the next time we meet it will be in the
City of Mexico In the National palace
His eyes famed. In the City of
Mexico, perhaps he answered, if God
lets me live to reach there, but In the
National p~alace-never. / have no
wish to be president"

KAlSER'S RULES FOR DINING,
Says F~orty-five Minutes Is Extreme
Length of an Official Repast.

The kaiser of Germany has issued
two prandial edicts. The first decree
is that no official dinner shall be longer
than forty-five minutes from the time
the guests sit down until they arise.
This is one-half the present duration
Of such affairs.
The second decree prescribes that
women shall no longer remain In the
drawing room alone, leaving the men
to smoke in the dining room in accord
ance with the English custom, but that
all shall remain In the drawing room.
where the German custom allows Gig
arettes to accompany the coffee.

HISTORIC HOUSE
Burned ut Pierre - Built BY River
Captain Twenty-Four Years Ago.

Pierre, April 21.-Fire destroyed
what is known as the Horn resi-
oence in the western part of the city.
While the financial loss was not
great, the house was the first one
erected in that part of Pierre, and
was far out on the prairie at the
time when ii was built thirty-four
years ago. 1t was the home of Cap
tain Horn. who operated the ferry
boat between this city and Fort
Pierre for many years, and the house
was built near the ola boat landing,
for his convenience. Horn, who
died several years ago, after the fer
ry business was cut off here by the
railway bridge, spent one year as a
pilot on the Yukon, and died on his
return home from Alaska, for a win
ter visit. The house was occupied
by Mrs. Horn and one son, who es-
capped from the building, but were
not able to get out any of their
household effects.

NO A AGONY.
Myth That Has Caused Untold Suf-
fering Now Said to be Exploded.

London dispatch to the New York
Herald: Another popular supersti-
tion which has been the cause of un-
told suffering to humanity is ex-
ploded by statements made by med
zeal authorities that there is no such
thing as the death agony"
The question was raised by Mr. j.
Cook-Wilson who, in a letter to the
London Times. described how he
stood by the bedside of his dying
father.
In the last stages" said Mr.. Will
son, there began the rapid labor
ed breathing which is a familiar fea-
ture of such cases. 1t was most dis
tressing to hear and watch, but the
physician assured me that the pa
tient knew nothing of it. One did
not doubt that there was some
ground for the medical opinion, but
one could not help rejecting that it
was at best a probable inference,
and that the only decisive proof
could be an experience which, in the
nature of the case. it seems impos-
sible to have.
However, my father, being ex-
ceptionally strong, survived the
dreadful night. In the morning his
breathing became much quieter, he
recovered consciousness and became
able to speak a little. Knowing a
physician was coming. he managed
to say quite clearly, Tell the doc
tor / have had a very comfortable
night"
aSnmaubat grauucop,a oc tba suh-
ject may seem at first sight" said
an eminent London physician whose
opinion was asked on the matter, "it
is well to have ii ventilated. The
~sufferings of persons about to die
are apparent rather than real, un-
consciousness mercifully superven-
ing in the vast majority of cases.
All surgeons are aware of the man
ner in which a certain type of pa
tient about to be anaesthetiZed
struggles and screams, only to an
nounce on recovering consciousness
that he has no remembrance of any
suffering"
The matron and senior sister OF
two of the leading London hospitals
agreed that death agony might well
Ue ucSCIlDtu dS a popufdI HiytH.
The question is discussed in Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle's famous book,
The Stark Munro Letters"
"All the physical evils of life,'
says DIR. Stark Munro in one of his
letters, seem to eliminate in
death, and yet death, as | have seen
1t, has not been a painful or terrible
process.
I'm many cases a man dies with
out having incurred as much pain
during the whole of his fatal illness
as would have arisen from a whit
low OF an abcess of the jaw. And
1t is often those deaths which seem
most terrible to the onlooker which
are least to the sufferer.
When a man is overtaken by an
express and shivered into frag-
ments, or when he drops from a
fourth floor window and is smashed
into a bag of splinters. the unfor-
tunate spectators are convulsed with
horror. e . Yet ii Is very
doubtful whether the deceased
couiu his tongue be %loosened, would
remember anything at all about the
matter. " g . am well con-
vinced that IL the newly born infant
and the man who had just died
could compare their experiences the
former would have proved to be the
sufferer"

DR.. Moore Is specialist in educa-
ton and psychology and a teacher
OF rare gifts. He believes IN the in
huence Of personal contact In the train
Ing of men and insists that the chief
function Of education II the building

university will exert in the future a
still more potent influence in the field
of education for the uplift of the col
