ING HosTELRY

For vilely making obscene advances
to three young girls, J. D. Nebenzahl
was given a severe beating late yesteT-
day afternoon and run out Of the city
by Chief Of Police Ben Coles. As
Nebenzahl could have been prosecuted
for no other offense than exposing the
person, which would have meant IS
days in jail, and could not possibly
have been punished in manner COM
mensurate with the enormity Of the
crime, the chief Of police adopted the
policy he followed. It is likely, too,
had NebenzahI been placed in jail, that
he would have met with violence from
the friends and relatives Of the girls
NebenzahI, commercial man, en-
ticed three young girls, none Of whom
was more than ten years Of age, to
places hidden from the public eye and
there made indecent advances and ex
posures. The girls are daughters of

the worst beatings possible for his
conduct and forced him to leave the
city in 10 minutes. The chief was Sc
enraged over what NebenzahI had
done that he spared noieffort to give
that man such punishment, as he him
self says, he never inflicted upon a
man before IN his life.
The chief probably saved the mans
life, for shortly after he had chased
Nebenzahi from the city one Of the

the city hall prepared to go the limit

All Constitutionalist Headquarters,

army, after four days of almost inces-
sent fighting during which victory
seemed first with one side and then
with the other, occupied Gomez Pala-

been heavy. The rebels delivered
three assaults before permanent sue
cess was achieved, and at times the
battle expanded into the streets lead

latter city by Saturday or Sunday
Wounded Die Of Thirst
The most apitiable Of all the heart
rending spectacles Of the battle were
the disabled wounded crying for wa
ter. The lack of this was as deadly
as bullets. for many wounded died Of
thirst. The meager hospital corps,
consisting of half dozen wagons, did
heroic work. but was unable to cope
with the situation. 1t was the first
time in recent Mexican revolutions
that the flag of the Red Cross had
been seen in rebel army. Many

the fighting moved elsewhere, saw the

Villa Works HaFd lora
CARRIED in dusty, corn suit, a
slouch hat and a red handkerchief
tied about his neck as in mis- bandit
days, General villa, among all the rag
yea thirsty, half-famished soldiers
Z who have fought day and night for the
capture Of Torreon, has been the most
conspicuous figure. The conventional
notion Of commanding general di-
recting campaign through field glas-
ses and with map spread before him
found no illustration in him. Instead
he climbed over the rocky hills OF
crept among the mesquite bushes to
tell the men at what point to fire
His principal activities were those OF
a scout, but his presence never failed
to inspire the soldiers wherever he
appeared.
Suffering and Horror
The rebels fought amid scenes q
intense suffering and horror. Water
was scarce and was supplied only
from tanks, hauled on freight cars al
their rear. and rations had become un
available after the first days fighting
or fighting was too continuous to per
init the men retiring for food. Thus
with nothing behind them but desert
and before them only the enemy thf
rebels fought unaffected by the scat
tered heaps Of dead and wounded.
General villa, during a pause Il
the firing, talked confidently Of th'
fall Of Torreon. He did not place
himself, however among those whit
believe the capture Of Toreron woul'
spell the collapse Of the Huerta re
gime in Mexico, but intimated rathe
that he expected Huerta to fight O

True Worth Of Man.

Proverbs says. "by the blessing Of
the upright the city is exalted" A
good, true, righteous man Is a benefit
to a city. His own personality may be
worth thousands to a community. 1t
Is not the man who is rich that adds
to the welfare Of a city. He may own
banks. factories, stores and palatial
homes. and yet prove a dead weight
to a town. The second part Of the
verse we quoted. tells this. 1t says.

Pine Pillows

Genuine pine pillows" is the legend
which appears in more than one drug
store wtndow-over a pi& OF spruce
tips. The sign makes a Auntry boy
smile, but he is quite aware that the
great majority Of city people do not
know. the difference between a pine
tree and a spruce or fir or hemlock
tree; all coniferous trees are pines
to 'them-even tamaracks.
In the matter of perfume there is
not much choice between a pine and
q spruce. but a fir pillow is more
pleasantly aromatic than one either
Of pine or spruce. Pine tips or leaves
are seldom used for pillows. The hem
lock makes a good pillow, but 1t is
better to use the boughs of it, quite
green. for a whole bed: break them
small. spread them out good and thick
and put your blanket right on top Of
them. To make use of this kind of a
bed. however. you must be in the
woods.
Time was when the lumberjacks
slept on beds of hemlock boughs-and
they were healthier and happier than
they are now in stutfy hunks.
