cambridge Asks Agnes to Lunch
Although Agnes Morley had been
late in getting to the office to-day she
had her letters done by IL o'clock.
But she did not hurry out to luncheon.
She heard the various members of the
office staff go out, one by one.
Annie Rooney had started to-day
on her vacation, SO there was no girl
to come to Agnes and suggest that
she lunch with her. No, there was
nobody here to whom her company
made any difference, Agnes reflected
moodily. Except to nod to the other
stenographers she had no acquaint-
ance with them. or course, there was
Arabella Durkee-but Miss Durkee
disliked Agnes Morley.
There was nothing in life these days
but work and sleep. Nothing else,
She went to the window and looked
out over other office buildings. In
each of these were hundreds OF wo-
men with lives like hers. How did
they stand it? Was 1t possible that
she was the same girl who, only few
weeks ago, had been enthusiastic about
this very kind of work that she was
still doing? What had made the diff

The tolerance and equity of light
That gives as freely to the shrinking
weed
AS to the great oak flaring to the
wind
To the graves low hill as to the Mat
terhorn.
That shoulders out the sky.
And so he came
From prairie cabin up to Capitol.
One fair ideal led our Chieftian on
For evermore he burned to do his
deed
With the fine stroke and gesture of
king.
He built the raiI-pile as he built the
state,
Pouring his splendid strength through
every blow;
The conscience of Him testing every
stroke,
To make His deed the measure of
man.
So came the Captain with the mighty
heart;
And when the step of earthquake
shook the house,
Wrenching the rafters from their an
cient hold,
He held the ridge-pole up and spiked
again
The rafters of The Home. He held his
place
Held the long purpose like a growing
tree
Held on through blame, and faltered
not at praise.
And when he fell in whirlwind he went
down
AS when kingly cedar greed with
boughs
Goes down with great shout upon
the hills.
And leaves lonesome place against
the sky.

plaza in the City of Chihuahua. Dur
ing the early part of November, 1910,
he attacked the factory of Mr.. Soto,
in Allende, state of Chihuahua and
killed the owner. By threatening the
latter's daughter he forced her to show
where she had hidden a sum OF SILL
900 which he stole and used for arm
ing a considerable force. He then
joined Madero's revolution, uniting his
band with Urbina's column. In Jan
uary, 1911, he was at Casas Grandes,
Chihuahua, where he killed Carlos
AIatorre and Louis Ortiz for refusing
to pay him the money he demanded for
their ransom. At Batopilas, state Of
chihuahua, in February of the same
year he tortured a lady named Sonora
Marie de la Luz Gomez until he made
her pay him $4,000. She died from
the effects of the barbarous treatment
she received at his hands.
When Cindad Juarez was taken from
the federals in May, 1913, he killed
Senior Ignacio Gomez Oyla, a man of
over sixty years, under the following
circumstances: Having sent for the
aged man, Villa asked him whether he
had any arms in his house. Upon be-
ing told that he had none, Villa, who
was seated on a table, drew his re-
volver and shot him dead. After riff
ing the corpse of money and valuables
it was thrown into the street.
After the triumph of the revolution,
Villa, in November, 1911, obtained a
monopoly from the then governor of
Chihuahua for the sale of meat in the
city of Chihuahua, which he procured
by stealing cattle from the neighbor-
ing farms. Suspecting one Of his sub
ordinates, Cristobal Juarez, of steal
ing on his own account, he killed him
one night in the latter part of Novem-
Der in the Gale de Ia Liberadad.

bars of gold and silver valued at 100,-
900 pesos, killing the crew and sever
al passengers, including Messrs Cav
antes and a Senior Isaac Herrera of
Cindad Guerrero.
Late in the same month he entered
the town of San Andres, Chihuahua,
and assaulted the house of Senior Sabas
Murga, who with his two sons, tried
to defend themselves. Two of his
nephews were killed, but the Murgas
escaped. Villa then got hold of two
sons-in-law of Murga who had not TAX
en- any part in the fight and, after
torturing them to make them say
where their father-in-law had hidden
his money, he then had them killed.
WantOn Murder In His Path.
Towards the end of the month Viii

Chihuahua, shooting all prisoners and

shot and his body dragged along the
streets of the town. The commercial

private persons were murdered, one
of the worst cases being that of a
Spaniard, Senior Montilla, cashier of
the house of Cordo y BlancO, who was
shot over the head of his wife, who
tried to shield him. Villa personally
kicked her in the face as she lay up
on the dead body of her husband. He
also himself killed a Senior Ramos,
secretary of the court of first instance.
In July, 1913, Villa took Casas
Grandes, Chihuahua, and shot more
than eighty noncombatants, violating
several young girls, among them two
young ladies named Castillo.

cartridges, he placed one behind the
other up to five at one time, very few
of them being killed outright. The
bodies of the dead and wounded were
then soaked with petroleum and
thrown into a bonfire.
After this he went to the small
town Of Carretas, where he took pris-
oner man of more 20 years of age,
named Jose Dolores Moreno, demand

as they took no p..rt in politics, for

Villa and tortured for several days

Propose to a man with a bright
sparkling eye-he is a thoroughbred
Beware Of the man with a fishy eye.
These signposts in matrimony are
no idle jests. They are offered on the
authority of H. r. Denison, student
of phrenology. Here are some of the
facts Mr.. Denison has to offer:
The faculty of cquitiveness-mon-
ey getting-is located over the tenn
pie and makes a mans head appear
relatively broad. But if, with that,
the distance from the opening Of the
ear to the center Of the top of his
forehead is short, the man will keep
for himself all the money that he
makes. He is stingy.
The man whose head is full and
broad across the back is lover OF
the fireside, or he will join you in the
pursuit of social position. He likes
society, friends and his family. But
beware of the man whose head is fiat
behind. He has no faculty Of love at
all and when, with that is combined
a high head-well, that man will be
insufferable, he thinks so well OF
himself.
The man with the neck of bull will
love you and every other woman, and
if you are at all jealous he will be no
mate for YOU.
The eye is the window through
which the "class' Of a man is reflect
ed. If he has the clear, bright, keen
eye of a thoroughbred animal, he is
of the stuff from which princes and
kings are made. If his eye is cold
and fishy, don't trust him; he will be
sly and tricky, cad and cur.

To Mai. Gen. Dix:
This evening about $50 p. m, while
at FOrd's Theatre, the President while
sitting in his private box with Mrs.
Lincoln. Mrs. Rogers and Major Rath-
bone. was shot by an assassin, who
suddenly entered the box and ap-
preached behind the President. The
assassin then leaped upon the stage,
brandishing a large dagger or knife
and made his escape in the rear OF
the theatre.
The pistol ball entered the back OF
the Presidents head, and penetrated
through the head. The wound is NOR
tai. The President has been insensl-
bIe ever since it was inflicted, and is
now about dying.
About the same hour an as
sassin entered Mr.. Stewards apart
ments. and under pretense of having
4 prescription, was shown to the Sec
refaTv's sick chamber. The assassin
immediately rushed to the bed and
inflicted two or three stabs on the
throat. and two on the face. 1t is
hoped that the wounds may not be
mortal. My apprehension is that they
will prove fatal.
The nurse alarmed Mr.. Fred Sew
ard. who was in an adjoining room,
and FASTENED to the door OF his faith
er's room, where he met the assassin,
who inflicted upon him one or more
dangerous wounds. His recovery is
doubtful.
Gen. Grant and wife were advertls-
ed to be at the theatre this evening,
but he started to Burlington, New Jer-
sev, at 6 o'clock this evening.
AT a cabinet meeting, at which Gen.
Grant was present, the subject Of the
state Of the country and the prospect
of a speedy peace was discussed. The
president was very cheerful and hope
ful. and spoke very kindly OF Gen.
Lee and others of the cOnfederacy,
and of the establishment of govern
ment in Virginia.
All the members of the cabinet, ex-
cept Mr.. Seward, are now in attend
ance upon the President.
i have seen Mr.. Seward, but he and
Frederick were both unconscious.
lSignedO E. M. STANTON.
Washington, April Is, IL a. m.
The Star extra says: AT 712
o'clock the President breathed his last,
closing his eyes as if falling asleep,
and his countenance assuming an eX-
preston of perfect serenity. There
were no indications of pain. The Rev.
DR.. Gurley, of the New York avenue
PRESBYTERIAN church, Immediately on
its being ascertained that life was eX-
tinct. knelt at the bedside and offered
an impressive prayer, which was res
pended to by all present. DR.. Gurley
then proceeded to the front parlor,
where Mrs. Lincoln, Captain Robert
Lincoln, Mr.. John Hay, the private
secretaries and others, were waiting,
where he again offered a prayer for
the consolation of the family"
Immediately after the Presidents
death, cabinet meeting was called
b. Secretary Stanton, and held in the
room in which the corpse lay. Secre-
taries Stanton, Welles and Usher,
Postmaster General Dennison and At
torney General Speed were present.
The results of the conference are as
yet unknown.
The Government offices are closed
by order, and will be draped with en-
bIems of mourning.
