his former partner became great was

In the late SOS Terrazas went into
politics and In It found his real occu-
patton. He Is said to have resembled
the late Mark Hanna in his appear
ance and manner. He soon became
jefe politico. then governor, and .un-
fiattering stories are told Of his ma
nipulation of the mint, for chihuahua
then coined money. And he then be-
gan getting together the vast estate Of
which he was possessed. +.
In 1866 he was the grand seigneur
Of the district and on March rs with
his levies drove out the sympathizers
Of Macmillan. This notable victory
enabled President Juarez to make Chi
huahua his capital and return from
what almost amounted to exile on the
northern frontier. He was SO delighted
that he Immediately created Terrazas
general. Among other notables who
served under Terrazas in this battle
was Felix Diaz.
This event marks the highest point
that Terrazas reached, not in wealth
indeed. but in the estimation of his
people, Universally popular, fairly
worshiped by the people, he was n
of the great men OF the country, and
oddly enough, was a leader Of that
popular party Of which the Constitu-
~tionalist party which has exiled him is
the descendant. After this period in
1880 commenced his association with
his nephew and son-in-law, Enrique
Creel, half Mexican and half gringo,
who in the popular estimation is the
blacker villain Of the two.
Ruben Creel. father Of Henry C.
Creel, or as he is better known, En-
rique c., was American consul here and
remained in the country. He and Don
Luis married sisters. Pas Guilty and
Caroline Guilty, daughters Of a family
prominent in this locality and now e K
tremely wealthy. Creel's marriage took
place in 1852. The connection between
the two families wal further strength
ened when the younger Creel married
me Of Terrazas' daughters.
In 1884, after the stormy term Of
Gen. Manuel Gomez as president of the
republic. Diaz al elected constitution
ally for the second time. and immedi-
ately the Capitalization of power and
long period of material develop
ment of Mexico began. As under the
Diaz regime governors of states were
practically autocrats in their country.
AS long as they did not ~displease the
president 1t was easy for the Terrazas-
Creel combination to take advantage
of the growth Of the country.
They succeeded each other as gov
ernor, and while Terrazas' ambition in
politics SEEM to have stopped there
Creel became minister to Washington
and, 1t was said, desired to be Diaz's
successor. But whatever we're his po-
litical ambitions. they interfered not at
NIL with the process OF building up q
great fortune. He is reported to have
been far from rich when he married
the daughter of Terrazas and what his

AN INDOOR GOLF COURSE.
BY A. Nicely HALL.

The indoor golf links shown in Fig.
1 must be small in area, but this will
not limit the fun Of playing in the
least, nor require any the less accu-
racy in driving the ball. Indoor golf
is played the same as the outdoor
game. There may be nine holes" In
the miniature course II you have a
fair-sized room to play in, or II the
room is small you can get along with
four or five holes. II you do not know
the game of golf. it is best first of
all to learn Its simple rules for play
ing. before preparing the homemade
equipment. Beginning at the start of
the course. each player In turn drives
his ball toward the first hole. with
the object In view to enter the hole
with the fewest number Of strokes.
