Villa AS a F airy

What call fairy stories" are often merely re-
told legends once current about real historical per
sonages In Mexico just have an example OF
the way these stories become part of the legendary
literature Of race or country Villa, in some parts
of Mexico, has already become mythical character
and his exploits enlarged upon and elaborated ano
an attempt made to explain them supernaturany
Mexican, by uniDtelligent one, the
other day said: "They can't catch Villa He has the
power to change himself into any kind of an animal
at WILL and he get away from his pursuers any
time, merely by using his magic. One time wnen
he was being chased by Daz rurales, and was hard
pressed Villa changed himself into little black dog
and ran right through the lines of his pursuers, to
safety. Another time he changed himself into wolf
and hid in a mountain cave Again he made himself
bird and flew away through the air the heads OF
his pursuers. Nobody catch Villa for he knows
magic He never DISCUSSES himself when he is in the
shoot at every little animal? One of them may be
Villa, but he will get away"
Probably stories like this are current in the terri
tory that Villa has these many years, More
over he and his men tell the most extravagant tales
about their prowess, and no doubt MexicanS be-
leve he has already conquered the United States in
addition to Mexico.
It is good thing the American troops left. all
their animal mascots in Columbus, for it would be
sad to have TO execute pet horned oads moles dogs
monkeys and bear cubs in brder to be to get Villa
Time is not so long after all; Kansas City negro
who died the other day claimed to have been born
when George Washington president Of the United
States and declared that his last birthday he was

The court had mercy in its denunciatiOn of ths
druggists for their reckless disregard of life and sanity
and of the boys duty to his widowed mother and
society, and for their greed of gain that made them

make a few dollars.
