Ancestor Was a Son Of the
AuId Sod in Service of
Spanish Army.

Ell PASO, Aug. 7.-Ninety-6ve
years ago an lrishman was sent by
the king of Spain to rule as yiceroy
over Mexico. His name was John
ODonahue--or Juan O'Donoju in
Spanish. His closest friend and con-
slant bodyguard was one Micky
OBrien, renamed by his adopted her
ian brother Miguel Obregon, and it
was to him that Juan O'Donoju turned
when Iturbide and his army, flying
the banner Of the FIRST empire" de-
creed the end Of the 300-year rule of
the Mexican viceroys.
Up the mountain wall from Vera
Cruz went these two sons of ireland
to where Cordoba clings like a swal-
lows nest to the seward side Of the
Sierra. And there Jack O'Donahue
and Mickey O'Brien agreed to repud-
late their emperor and allow Iturbide
the Morelian Indian, to rule until u
king Of Mexico could be chosen.
So we'll did Mickey serve the first
empire that he became General Miguel
Obregon, and was placed in control
Of the western coast Of the land Of
Mowuahtesuma, where, with his wife
who came from the land Of his faith
ers, he left sons to lay him to rest
when his last day came.
A few weeks ago General Carranza,
almost at the end OF his rope, sent
Alvaron Obregon, a great-grandson Of
that same Mickey O'Briend, to the
rim Of his country, bearing to the
United States government, ungranta-
BILE requests, but with an army OF some
100000 troops supposedly to back him
up If It came to blows,
Obregon is said to be more a mas
ter Of his country today than any
one has been since the time Of Por-
flrio Diaz. From a small hacendadc
he has become minister Of war, an
honor forced from Carranza prach-
cally at the muzzle Of an automatic
pistol.
From head Of band Of YaquI In
dams he has risen to command an
army of 10000, probably the best
army Latin-America has ever known;
and from an underllng in the Madero
and Carranza armies he raised his
voice to dictate the policies Of his
government and define what his chief

who are striving in their CHOSEN pro-
fession to exc cut an uncertain eX-
.stence. you east inquiring glances
rom under your hat, afraid to bold
= look in the eye OF these guardians
Of the alluring displays, you come,
finally, if you have succeeded in
raining the guantlet and have a
dime eft, to the Human Spider.
Gentlemen, bow reverently in thanks
that TIL world contains but few such
spiders, and that the business of
such spiders is merely to mystify
and not to davour For, endowed
with the inviting beauty Of Lorelie
maiden, such spiders could lure into
their webs most of mankind. But
what is it? Unless you are in the
confidence Of the Spider, you gaze
in increasing wonderment at the
strange sight before you. The head
of a golden haired, beautiful young
lady lies in the center of an inclined
web, and, stretching it's hideous
length from this bit Of loviness, the
body and legs of giant, repulsive
spider. Motionless the body but one
could not ask or expect a more ami
mated head on the body Of any
young lady than the head which is
seeminly attached to the spiders
body. If you haven't seen her, go and
be mystified; if you have seen her
its worth a dime to go back and have
another look.
Let's leave the Spider and visit
Louis, the marvel man. The marvel
of it is that Louis has lived to reach
the age Of 38 years; marvel that
such a misshappen little body, should
support head so Intelligent and g
spirit so broad and full of under

DeVAUX & KLEIN SHOWS

From Frerette Street to Railroad
Avenue, Front Street accommodates
tie Carnival. Hare the DeVaux &
= Klein Shows kske held full sway
since Saturday and here they remain
until the night of Sunday, December
Bird. The mild weather Of last night
permitted the town folks to spend
the evening on the scene and from
seven O'Clock until eleve. Front
Street was packed with a crowd bent
on extracting all of the amusement
offered by the visiting entertainers.
On the Bellanger Drug Company
corner is located the Plantation
Minstrels Here bunch of singing,
dancing, screaming blacks perform
before their patrons. Old-time and
modern minstrel methods make up
their program and they please their
auditors with a better than-average
negro minstrel passtime. These rag
time rascals romp thru an hour in

only genuine, dyed-in-t the wool
darkies can, and they keep their
house in an uproar from start to
finish. Perhaps, some of their stuff
is age-worn, but who wants or ex-
poets anything else in minstrel?
One goes prepared to enjoy and not
to criticise, and the good old gags
and the good old songs and the old
but ever new steps of the buck-and-
wing artists make one forget every
thing but the fact that one has
several unused founts of laughter
that have been bottled up just wait
ing for this chance to break forth.
From the Plantation Minstrels,
one may step across the street and
pause before picturesque, vide
spreading front of canvass wherein
is pictured numerous scenes OF awe
inspiring interest. Great saahes
wirthe and squirr1. monkeys hang by
their tails with reckless abandon,
alligators creep fhru their Shiny
haunts, and last but not least is pic
tured in flaring colors the Man with
the Silver Throat. Walk in ladies and
