EASY TO RAISE BANDIT ARMY Manuel Lozado Made Hunger Hi* Chief Recruiting Sergeant and Thereby Rose to Power, Manuel Lozado, the Mexican bandit, whose remains now lie In the cemetery near Topic, in the newly made stnte of Nayurit, gave the key to the whole Mexican problem by his strategy in or ganizing armies, declares Charles Johnston, in The Atlantic. Lozado was notable because he waged war against three presidents, Benito Juarez, Lerdo de Tejada and Porflrlo Diaz, and because he raised and equipped armies of peons strong enough to attack great cities like Tepic and Guadalajara, in a struggle lasting from 1870 to 1877. It was Lozado’s custom, when tew campnign against the central au..uni ties was in contemplation, to send his bodyguard down from their lairs in the high Sierras to the fertile plains,' with orders to cut down all banana plants, thus destroying the chief food supply of the native villages. The peons starved for a while, and watched their women and children starve, iheri they came tip> the moun tains In a body and begged Lozado to enroll them in Ids army of bandits to lead them forth to plunder, which for them meant simply fond. This gives a clew to the situation, declares Mr. Johnston, because it shows that banditry and plunder are the,last resources* of hungry peons, pressed beyond the verge when their meager sustenance ts cut off. Be swift to hear and let thy life be sincere and with patience give answer. sjiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiimiiiiiimiiiii Football Language in Britain. However the ordinary journalist may have to curb his pen, the descriptive reporter of football can still Rive rein to his fancy and his rhetoric with little fear of the sub-editorial blue pencil. To him a match is usually a "tour ney," and the ball lends itself to such varied description as “the leather,” "the oval.” “the globe,” or even the “bounding sphere." If the players hall ■ from Sheffield they are “knlfegrlnd | crsfrom Northampton, “cobblers;” from Luton, “strnwhattersfrom ! Reading, “biscultersfrom Devon i shire, “cider drinkers.” and from West Ham. "hammers.” The swift runner is “twinklefooted.” or has “brilliant hoofs." If a player is skillful in bead play, he “uses the cranium with brilliant effect," or does “good brain-box work." If the ball hits a man on lhe nose, he “receives j a smacker from the spheroid on his I proboscis.” Brother Dolton’s Noble Work. The American secretary for the Mis sion to Lepers estimates that there are not fewer than 3.000,000 lepers in the 1 world, 6,000 of whom have been con verted to Christianity. Apropos of this, tlie Hawaiian legislature has of fered to pension Brother Joseph Dut ton, who succeeded Father Damien at the leper settlement on Molokai. Brother Dutton has not been off the leper Island for 33 years, and has spent $10,000 of his own money to relieve the poor creatures among whom he lives. But he refused the pension, wishing no reward and expecting to work on to the end in the cause to which he long ago devoted his life. The world has heroes of whcm it rare ly hears; and it cannot lie otherwise than that such self-sacrifice must win a higher reward than governments or the plaudits of peoples can confer.
