One day several of my girl friends

attendance at school. He became
rancher, and was happy until there
occurred an event in his life which
made him fugitive from the law,
and which his enemies have seized
upon to herald him as bandit and
robber. The story, as told to the
writer is as follows: Villa had sis
ter, an attractive girl who was de-
ceived and seduced by an official OF
the Diaz government. He demanded
reparation, that the man marry his
sister. but without avail, he was
laughed at. He appealed to the
courts, nothing was done, who ever
heard of reparation for such an act
in Mexico. When all other means
failed he killed the seducer and took
to the hills. A detail of officers were
sent to arrest him, he refused to sur
render, and 1t was then that the fight
ing quality of the man manifested it
self. He fought his would-be captors
and prevailed.
1t was about this time that the
Madero revolution commenced and
this furnished an opportunity to
crafty his hatred against the Diaz
administration. He fought with Ma
dero, and when the latter was killed
returned to Chihuahua, entering the
state alone. He went to his old home,
gathered around him a few of his
former companions in arms and de-
clared his unalterable determination
to avenge the death of his former
chief. The battle of Torreon is the
last chapter of the history which he
is making, what the future has in
store for him, who can tell?
The United States continues the
policy of watchful waiting inaugu-
rated by President Taft and con-
tinued by his successor. Can the
problem which faces the American
nation be solved by watchful waiting,
or will it be necessary to carry the
stars and stripes to the Aztecs, as
Scott carried it there once before?

guns crumbled to ruin.
Then came Francisco Madero. A
we'll meaning man, educated in
France, imbued with the extreme
democratic ideals of the French re-
publican, he dreamed of real demo-
cratic government in his own coun-
try and endeavored to establish it.
At the time of the surrender of the
Diaz forces at Ciudad Juarez, May 10,
1911, the Maderistas demanded the
execution of General Navarro, the
federal commander, it was the way of
the country, it had always been. At
the peril of his own life Madero pro-
tected his vanquished enemy and sent
him in safety to the United States.
In October of the same year, when
Falix Diaz raised the standard of re-
volt, an act of treason, was defeated
and captured at Vera Cruz, and SEN
fenced to death, Madero interviewed
and saved his life He would teach
the people a more humane way of
dealing with their enemies. He made
Huerta, who had been his bitter
enemy, commander of his military
forces, and surrounded himself with
members of the old Cientifico party,
believing that their pretended friend
ship was real. 1t was mistake
which cost him his life. They were
loyal until the conspiracy which they
planned was matured and then threw
off the mask, On the 10th of Feb
ruary, while dining with Gustavo
Madero, a brother Of the president,
Huerta called his guards and Gustavo
was taken from the table and shot
to death without trial. On the 23rd,
President Madero and Vice Presi-
dent Suarez were murdered. When
DR.. Dominguez raised his voice
against these atrocities, in the ma
tional congress, he met the same fate.
