RICHEST MEXICAN IS
MADE PAuPER BY war
Luis Terrazas, "Rockefeller Of
Mexico" Made Penni-
less by Villa.

SIX weeks ago called the Rockefeller
OIL Mexico. Gen. Luis Terrazas today
is all but penniless. His Is, 900, 900

prlslng two-thirds of the common
wealth, have been seized by General
villa. Hundreds of houses in the city
OF which belonged to Ter

n factories and mines have been
taken away from him, and he is now
a without non or home. Ellis
vast holding have been divided among
the widows and orphans of rebels who
nave lost their lives in the present
rebellion.
Terrazas was the wealthiest man in
mexico. Second to him in wealth in the

his soninlaw. Creel was formerly ann
passador at Washington and minister
OF foreign affairs under Diaz. Like
Ierrazas. he is a staunch supporter of
General Huerta. Sc his vast holdings
also nave been taken by the rebels.
Ierrazas obtained the nucleus for
his fortune, estimated all the way
from $500, 000. 900 to $780, 600, 900,
through the gift of 5000, 900 acres of
public land by h government nearly
half a century ago for his services in
clearing the state Of Chihuahua of
brtgands and for his work in behalf Of
the nation during the wal with France.

his organization Of = force Of volun-
teers who, under his command, cap
tured this city from a band Of several
n bandits who had defeated the
federal garrison and caused the con-
Stituted officials Of the government to
dee for their lives. AS a reward Ter

The chief trouble with you is that
you have nothing very much to do. Be-
cause you have no important purposes
In life your mind becomes filed up with
trivialities, and you spend your days
multiplying in your mind h foolish
little things that you would forget in
stantly If you only had something more
important to engage your mental and
physical powers.
I suspect that you ought to have
children, and that your are avoiding 1t.
There are too many young women in
the world that are making that mis-
take. and they do not realize it as a
mistake, until they are so old that they

The only way to prevent growing
apart from your husband is to find q
legitimate purpose in life and devote
yourself to it to such an extent that
you will simply not notice nor care for

The first thing that come to my mind

Story Of Captain Benson.
The sea tale. as narrated by Captain

toria. bound for Antofagasta. The voy-
age was without incident until the
tropics were reached. There began a
series of gales which the ship wealth
ered stanchly until June Is. when the
storm increased to a hurricane. which
swept everything before 1t.
The schooner was tossed about like
a plaything. Sails and masts were
washed overheard. seams opened and
lifeboats smashed to bits. Only one
boat. the sailing craft. was intact when
the hull. burdened with its ever %increas-
ing weight of water. sank to a point
whe-, the deck was almost level with
the surface of the ocean. Then the boat
was launched and the IA members Of
the crew tumbled In. Five fell into the
water. but at the risk Of their own
lives their comrades rescued them.
Stores had been water soaked. and
when the little boat pushed off from
the sinking schooner its entire larder
consisted Of 80 cans Of soup and con-

box Of o d crackers.
