MEXICAN BUTCHERY
—
ATTACK ON A TRAIN FILLED
WITH HORRORS.
INDIGNITIES TO THE SLAIN
The Dead, So Far as Reported, is
Eighty-Four, with Fatalities Yet
to Corr.e.
Mexico City.—The dead as a result
of an attack by Zapatistas on the
Mexican-Cuernavaca train near Parres
on the edge of the federal district,
now number eighty-four.
A second relief train which reached
Mexico City early Sunday brought
twenty-three passengers who had es
caped the butchery and made their,
way into Tres Marias, a few miles
away. Eleven were accounted for
Sunday night.
It is estimated that the train car
ried approximately seventy-five pass
engers in audition to the fifty soldiers
of the escort. Forty-three soldiers
were killed. Nine bodies of passen
gers were found near the wreck. Of
the remaining thirty-two a majority
are believed to have been killed or
wounded and consumed in the burn
ing cars, which were fired with oil
taken from the tank of the locomo
tive. «
Before the attack on the train be
came known the Zapata horde had
routed a small^garrison of iederais at
Parres. Many women of the camp fell
into their hands and were subjected
to indescribable barbarities. The wife
of the chief of the detachment was
found disembowled and otherwise
horribly mutilated.
Captain Rosendounez, in charge of
the escort on the illfated train, is said
to have fought heroically. After he
had received three wounds he con
tinued firing until a fourth bullet
pierced his heart.
The Zapatistas robbed the dead and
living and looted the express car.
Among the first to fall was the 10
year-old daughter of Captain Hunez.
She was sitting near a window and
the first volley from the attacking
band literally riddled the child with
bullets.
“From the time the train stopped
until after the attack ended.-’ said one
of the soldiers, “there was a veritable
rain of bullets. At least 500 were in
the first volley and the car in which
we were traveling was the target.
Most of the bullets came through the
roof. The second lieutenant had
eighteen bullets through his body.
The first lieutenant was also wound
ed almost at the first shot.
OMAHA MERCHANT PRINCE DEAD.
Hugo Brandeis Fails to Rally From an

reaper beckoned.
Mr. Brandeis, gradually weakened
front the shock of an operation for ob
struction of the bowels, performed at
the hospital by Drs. Bridges and Jonas
last Wednesday, and after several

moned to the bedside.

JAPS IMPORT THEIR BRIDES
Orientals In Hawaii Send All the Way
to the Flowery Kingdom
for Them.
Kauai, Hawaii.—"No more Orientals
of the laboring class are coming to
Hawaii, and a good many of our white
citizens who cultivate sugar estates
are sorry that the faithful Chinese are
barred under the law,” said W. P.
Hareourt, a sugar planter of the island
of Kauai, one of the Hwaiian group.
"They are our best workers, and be
fore the exclusion policy was applied
we could count on a certain regular
influx of brawny Mongolians to toil in
the cane fields.
"The Chinese now in Hawaii have
been there for many years, and most
of them are getting to be old men.
Not many of the Chinese have wfves,
but In former days not a few of them
became the husbands of the native Ka

naka women. It was a good cross,
was this half-breed progeny, and so
likewise the offspring of the Japanese
and native women. In recent times,
however, the Japs have been in the
habit of sending back to their own
land for wives. In mo6t cases I think
the self-elected bridegrooms get their
: parents back in the Flowery Kingdom
to pick out wives for them.
“The matter is finally arranged
through the Japanese consul, the man
in the case putting up money for the
passage of his intended spouse. The
hour that she lands must also be the
wedding hour, for the authorities will
not allow the fair ones to remain un
less claimed and formally mated ac
cording to some civil or religious cere
mony that both parties consider bind
ing.
"Every now and then a wireless
message comes to my plantation
which tells one of my young Japanese
hired men that he may expect on the
arrival of the next ship at Honolulu
the girl who has been picked out as
his wife. I do not think that in many
cases the principals have ever laid
eyes on each other. On the receipt
of the message the man gets permis
sion to go to claim his wife, and pret
ty soon the pair are domesticated on
the estate, and my understanding is
they get on as happily as if they had
known each other from Infancy and
been wedded in the conventional way
of the Caucasians.
“Not long ago a ship from Yokoha
ma arrived with forty or fifty so
called picture brides. Every one of
them had bean chosen through photo
graphs forwarded to Hawaii some time
in advance of the arrival of the origi
nals. Occasionally there is a pathetio
case, as when not long ago a very
pretty young Japanese maid was
forced to take the next ship returning
to her old home. Inspection showed
that she had trachoma, and the rigid
rule that ordered her deportation
could not be waived.”—Baltimore

hundred have had their monkey din
ners, other swell sets have their inno
vations along that line, but this town
bears the honor of giving a dog a real
live banquet and concert to commem
orate the anniversary of his birth.
The affair was given by Louis P.
Morner, and the guest of honor vras
his dog, "Major," who, seated at the
head of the table, was admired during
the many courses by a host of his
owner's friends. The city band gave
a concert of several select numbers.
"Major,” unconscious of the honor
that was being bestowed upon him,
devoured his share of the viands and
looked about for more.

PATHOS IN CHILD’S BRAVERY
Fortitude Shown by Little Sufferer in
Hospital Touched Lady Henry
Somerset.
Lady Henry Sometset, whose labors
in behalf of the children of the Lon
don slums are constant and earnest,
tells this affecting story of the way in
which her interest in these little ones
was aroused:
1 was moved in that direction by the
rare patience and imagination of on©
little boy. His example convinced me
that patience was one of the qualities
I needed most, and in seeking it 1
grew into that work.
I was in a hospital on visiting day,
while the doctors were changing a
plaster cast which held the crippled
boy’s limb. The operation was ex
ceedingly painful, I was told. To my
surprise, the little sufferer neither
stirred nor winced, but made a curi
ous buzzing sound with his mouth.
After the doctors left I said to him:
’’How could you possibly stand it?”
"That’s nothing.” he answered.
"Why, I just made believe that a bee
was stingin’ me. Bees don’t hurt very
much, you know. And I kept buzzin'
because I was afraid I’d forget about
it being a bee If 1 didn't.”—Youth's
Companion.
Voice of Conscience.
A western Kentucky negro was In
jail awaiting trial for stealing a calf.
Hi© wife called to see him. On her
way out the jailer, whose name was
Grady, hailed her.
"Mandy,” he Inquired, “have you
got a lawyer for Jim?”
“No. sah,” said his wife. “Ef Jim
was guilty I’d git him a lawyer right
away; but he tells me he ain’t guilty,
and so, of co’se, I ain’t aimin’ to hire
none.”
"Mr. Grady,” came a voice from the
cells above, "you tell dat nigger wom
an down thar to git a lawyer—and git
a dam’ good one, too!”—Saturday Eve
ning Post.
Two Enough for Her.
He was a small boy with a dark,
eager face and he was waiting at the
end of the line of eight or ten per
sons for a chance to make his wants
known to the librarian. When his
turn came he inquired briefly: “Have
you got 'Twenty Thousand Legs Un
der the sea?’ ’’
“No,” responded the librarian a lit
tle snappily, for she was tired, “I’m
thankful to say I've only got two.
They’re not under the sea!”
Keeping Mice From Pianos.
To prevent mice entering pianos
there has been invented a simple

A WINNING START
A Perfectly Digested Breakfast Make®
Nerve Force for the Day.
Everything goes wrong if the break
fast lies in your stomach like a mud
! pie. What you eat does harm if you
can’t digest it—it turns to poison.
A bright lady teacher found this to
be true, even of an ordinary light
breakfast of eggs and toast. She
says:
"Two years ago I contracted a very
annoying form of indigestion. My stom
ach was in such condition that a sim
ple breakfast of fruit, toast and egg
gave me great distress.
"I was slow to believe that trouble
could come from such a simple diet,
but finally bad to give it up. and found
a great change upon a cup of hot
Postum and Grape-Nuts with cream,
for my morning meal. For more than
a year I have held to this course and
have not suffered except when injudi
ciously varying my diet.
"I have been a teacher for several
years and find that my easily digest
ed breakfast means a saving of nerv
ous force for the entire day. 5Iy gain
of ten pounds in weight also causes
me to want to testify to the value of
Grape-Nuts.
“Grape-Nuts' hold? first rank at our
table."
