Desperate.

Little Charlotte accompanied hel
mother to the home of an acquaint-
ance where a dinner-dance was being
given, says the New York Times.
When the dessert course was reached
the little girl was brought down and
given a place next to her mother az
the table.
The hostess was woman much
given to talking, and, in relating
some interesting incidents, quite for
got to give little Charlotte anything.
After some time had elapsed Char
lotte could bear it no longer. With
the sobs rising in her throat, she
held up her plate as high as she
could, and said:
Does anybody want clean
plate?"

He turned the little nickel-plated
box in his hands and examined 1t
gingerly; then he pressed the but
ton. True to it's reputation, the tiny
patent sprang open and gave forth
generous fame. l have never seen
such a look of terror come into any
mans face. He threw it from him
with all his might, and in a choking
voice called his guards and placed me
under arrest.

It has been suggested that the Or
ganization of a split-log drag asso-
citation in Bamberg county would
greatly assist the county supervisor
and commissioners in their efforts
TO keep the roads in good repair.
These associations have been or are
being formed in other counties OF
the State. The plan is for the mem
hers of the association, who are far-
mers residing along the public roads,
to take each a piece of roadway, say
one mile or two miles, and drag THIS
section after rains or whenever 1t is
necessary; the county paying for the
hand and team at the rate OF, say
Csc per hour. In this way the roads
could be dragged when they needed
repair, and at times when the farm
ers would not be busy, for it would
take only few hours to drag snort
stretch of roadway. 1t is quite I'M
rossible for the county's road hands
to drag all of the roads every time
they need dragging, for this would
require a great many more teams
and men than the county employs or
could employ. Such an association
properly organized and conducted
would be of great value and we hope
steps will be taken to put the plan
into effect in this county.

entered a large. bare room.
Rifles of every description were piled
up in one corner of the sala. Near
them stood huge sacks of metal disks.
At least 100 chairs were placed
around this enormous room. | stood
there fully a minute before | noticed
that to my immediate right sat, what
appeared to me, Zapatista soldier.
He was even smaller than the others
had seen. He carefully examined
the gun in his hands, and apparent
ly satisfied that it was clean, laid it
aside and continued to stare at me.
Zapata Buys a Watch.
His attention suddenly centered
on a $3.50 watch which | wore.
What is that?" He grabbed my
hand in a vise-like grip. l pulled it
away sharply.
That is reloj-a timepiece," he
explained.
You lie like dog. All watches
are big"
Il held my wrist to his ear so he
could listen to the ticking of the lit
tie watch. A look of amazement
came into his eyes.
"Carramba! he exclaimed. 1T is
so. What is it WORTH"
L wished to impress him with my
importance, so 1 replied: "A hun
dred dollars in gold"
He held out his arm. Put it on
me-"
why. do you want to buy it," I
asked.
For answer he whistled shrilly.
Another soldier came into the room
promptly. Bring me 500 in gold
coins" said my friend. Hurry up"
The messenger promptly returned
with large bag and handed it to
my friend. He counted twenty pieces
of gold and handed them to me.
Il believe that's equivalent to a
hundred of your money, is it not?"
I nodded, but my mouth was wide
open.
Just then my friend. General Ban
deras, came into the room.
Greatest Warrior of Age"
A beatific expression of child-like e
admiration came into his eyes as he
turned to my friend on the bench.
Isl! 81, My great General Emil
liano Zapata.'''
Turning to me he continued: And
my Amigo, | will introduce to you
the greatest warrior Of the age, Apos-
tie of the people of Southern Mexi-

Francisco Villa.

The first time saw General Fran
cisco Villa he was sitting on a flat
car, which was attached to one of
his troop trains then on its way to
Chihuahua. He had just finished a
meal Of tortillas and chilli and was
singing a song of his own brave
deeds, which some Mexican poet had
recently composed.
The song was often interrupted
when the general would pick his
yellow teeth with a murderous liik-
ing knife, which he used for all pur-
poses. I had heard so much about
the bandit-general that | instructive
" approached the fiat car with great
caution-or maybe it was timidity-
on my part.
The song was stopped while the
great northern leader glared at me.
The pink silk shirt he wore stuck to
his body on account Of the heat; his
face was unshaved, and remnants OF
his recent meal still decorated his
mustache. l carried my camera in
my hand.
"Take My Picture"
AS said before, I approached him
with great timidity, and stood tremb-
ling while he glowered at me from
his seat on the fiat car. His first
words startled me.
Take my picture" The knife was
laid aside as he threw out a huge
chest.
"Yes. sir. Yes. sir" I muttered,
fumbling with my camera. "Yes,
sir"
When | exhausted my supply of
| films I started to interview him by
asking for his opinion of Huerta.
The amount of profanity this query
! induced made me resolve never to
ask that question again.
Cautiously l attempted the second
question.
What are your plans for the es-
tablishment OF government in Mexi-
COZ"
He Strengthened up and squinted
his eyes, flourished his fist and pulled
! his mustache.

ple," he beloved, as he stuck his
paw in my face. The only thing |
want is to take everything away from
the rich people and give it to the
poor"
But can this present generation
of uneducated classes run the great
! industries of Mexico?" I asked.
A Second Napoleon.
"Of course they will" he replied,
with great emphasis.
my guns and cannon can do any
thing. Where there is force there is
power; where there is power there~is
government. I am the savior Of
Mexico. Even your companions the
other periodistas, call me the second
Napoleon, so | have to save myself
He took out a small corn-husk
cigarette and fumbled in his pockets
for a match. l saw he couldn't find
one, so | reached for an automatic
pocket lighter in my bag.

Stepping into the great threshold
of the mansion. and glancing through
an open door at the extreme end Of
the room, saw the president of Mex

D. shirt, burying his face into huge
slice of watermelon. while the pink
Juice trickled down his long, white
beard and dripped on his dusty pat
ent leather shoes.
l stood spell-bound. but moment
later one of his secretaries leaped
from-I don't know where-and,
with a scream. closed the door be-
tween me and his chief. This done,
he turned to me.
An Affair Of State.
What can do for the senor?' he
asked nervously.
II wish to see President Carranza, "
| answered. Il am a newspaper
man."
"Ah!" he smiled Just one mo-
ment. The first chief is busy now
with affairs of State, but it will not
be long before you may be admitted
into his presence
Commanding me to sit in the most
gorgeous chair in the room, and bow
ing profusely. he disappeared from
the room. Five minutes later he was
inviting me into Carranza's private
Office. An entirely different scene
confronted me. CarranZa's desk was
Uttered with papers. The watermel-
on had disappeared, and the big, ego
tistical first chief stood before me.

they not?"

He beamed on me as he stroked
his beard. Il am greatly interested!

"Most of you American newspa-
per men have preferred to go to
Francisco Villa for your news" he
began, restocking his beard. But
Villa is only a subordinate Of mine.
I am the chief executive of this proud
nation; I am Francisco Villas COM
mander; l am he who directs Fran
