VILLA BEARS CHARMED FIFE
Rebel General Believed by His Enc.
mics to Be immune From
All Danger.

New York.-The luster OF Villas
name is bringing him scores of re-
cruits every day, and foreigners who
have just come to northern Mexico via
New Orleans from Mexico City assure
me that thousands of federals, dis
gusted with the bungling of their off,
GERS, are itching to get into the COM
mand of the former Chihuahua mule
driver, Gregory Mason writes in the
Outlook. The federals are convinced
that he bears charmed life. Time
and again their sharpshooters have
tried for him as he doomed up sud-
denly on his big bay horse, directing
the aim of the artillery with quick,
deep commands: Mas derecho' (more
to the right, or POGO MAJ izquierda"
Ca little more to the left, as he rode
up where the bullets whined louder
and dismounted to take a rife in the
trenches. One Of these keen-eyed fed
eral rifiemen when taken prisoner had
the brazenness to tell Villa of his
efforts to bag the big leader.
Il fired at you ten times, mi gen.
eral; but it's no use, you bear a charm,
and my old girl (his rifle) knew it and
baked"
The frown that had begun to cloud
Villas unshaved face broke into a
smile.
That's right, boy. No use wasting
ammunition on me. Now go back and
tell that to your companions" He
waved toward the hills that sheltered
the enemy.
"But, mi general, want to fight for
you." pleaded the little sharpshooter.
do as l say; andale (hurry up),"
beloved Villa, and motioned to three
soldiers, who threw the poor federal
on to a knock-kneed, razor-backed
mule, which, under the urge of bay
onet thrust in the flank, sped for the
distant hills at jack rabbits speed,
with the unhappy soldier bounding on
the animals sharp back like live
crab on grill.
He'll tell his friends some good
stories If they don't shoot him before
he reaches Them" said Villa, with one
of his queer, characteristic facial puck
erings, as he turned to help brother
officer who was having trouble with a
new saddle.

What becomes of the old circus
tents?
These vast sheets of canvas, which
see only one year of active service,
are not thrown away. Eventually they
come into the hands OF the same far
mer who paid his SO cents to see the
Wild Man OF Borneo when the show
was in his territory the summer be-
fore. He may not recognize the can
vas as that under which the small
boys crawled when he wasn't looking,

and more useful form.

with a peaceful mind, knowing that
the neat canvas covers will protect
the hay even though it rains, he is
probably placing his confidence in an
old circus tent.
A large tent and awning company
of Madison buys all the old Ringing
tents. and makes them up into hay
covers. They are able to sell them
much cheaper than the new ones, and
q special water-proofing process
makes them just as durable.
Thus does the tent shelter the hay
which feeds the horses that the new
tent shelters, and there is established
another cycle of life.

THE BELL AT LL0YD'S.

One of the most interesting of bells
is the one at Lloyd's, the great Lon
don marine insurance exchange. IFS
ringing has more Significance than the
sound of most bells. for it is rung
only when n vessel is reported lost or
when Il ship long overdue and consid-
srad lost unexpectedly reaches port.
The bel, now used mt Lloyd's belong
ed to the Lutine. which was wrecked
near the Zuyder Zee in October. 1893.

chants To Hamburg.

nre nor entered ia the loss book. but
the most serious are not only entered
there. but are cried aloud by an Of
fetal who stands in gorgeous uniform
beneath the sounding board.
When after II weeks disappearance
1t is feared that vessel has gone
down the owners make an application
to the committee Mt Lloyd's to have
the ship posted. That is done by post
ing upa notice In the chamber Of hon
rors which says that the authorities

money is payable. and all who were
upon her are legally considered dead.
When ship is posted the old Lutiue
