VILLA ENTERTAINS
HIGH EXPECTATION
ACCORDING TO MRS. WRIGHT,
WHOM HE HELD FOR
NINE DAYS.
EL PASO, March 13.—Mrs. M. H.
Wright, the American woman who
rode nine days with the Villa troops
preceding the raid on Columbus,
N. M., said when she was finally
liberated and had arrived here that
she had oVerheard Villa say that
in the event the United States
would invade Mexico, Japan and
Germany would interfere. Mrs.
Wright said that her baby taken
from her and given to a Mexican
family, was safe at Pearson, Mex.,
and that her husband had been
murdered by the soldiers a short
distance from her home.
Called Queen of Villistas.
Because she suffered in silence,
never complaining and holding her
self aloof from the horde of sol
diers, fugitives, derelicts and vaga
bonds which comprise Villa’s sol
diers, she was called “Laroyna,”
queen of the Villistas, by the troops.
Villa had told one of the officers
that he preferred to have her die
of exhaustion rather than • to kill
her outright—and because she prov
ed to be able to withstand hard
ship better than his own men, he
promised he would release her after
he had sacked Columbus. He also
agreed to give her $100 gold and
a permit to travel unmolested
throughout any part of Villa terri
tory.
Wanted to Warn Columbus.
"Villa only talked to me twice,”
said Mrs. Wright. “I avoided talk
ing with him because he would have
thought I admired him, and would
have forced me to accompany him.
He told his officers how he would
wipe out the town of Columbus,
and then when the United States
tried to interfere. Villa believed
this firmly. I have overheard him
make such remarks from time to
time.
“How I wanted to escape to warn
the people of Columbus about the
contemplated attack! But I was
watched all the time.
Suffer*. Cold and Thirst.
“For three days and nights we
were without fire in the frost-cov
ered mountain country of northern
Chihuahua. For 30 hours we were
without water. But the soldiers
often did without rather than see
my canteen empty.
“When we neared Columbus, Maj.
Nicholas Hernandez, one of the
meanest men I hifte ever known,
said I was to be given a rifle to
kill the ‘gringoes’ in Columbus. I
told him I would shoot hif first.
“ ‘I believe you would,’ he said.”
Saw Villa Fleeing.
Mrs. Wright was guarded out
side of Columbus about 500 yards
while the attack was made on the
city. She asked to be released, but
her guard said he would have to
have Villa’s consent. When the
troops retreated she started toward
Columbus. Villa, one of the last
of the fleeing raiders, stopped beat
ing his horse and men with his
sword upon seeing her.
“Do you want to go home?” he
asked.
“Do you mean to Mexico ?” she
asked
“No, to the United States.”
“Yes.” •
“Go,” he said.
“May I take my mare and sad
dle?” she asked.
“Yes,” he answered and rode on.
Mrs."Wright then rode into Colum
bus.
ST. JOHN’S CHURCH
DAILY BIBLE READING.
Topic for week: Spiritual Power.
Saturday, Hebrews 12:1-13.
“Looking unto Jesus, the author
and perfector of our faith, who for
the joy that was set before him en
dured the cross.”
The previous chapter has told of |
faith and its triumphs. Inspired'
by these, and looking to Christ for
power, we should triumph over ob
stacles in our way. Knowing sue- J
cess would crown our labors, Jesus |
persevered despite difficulties.
Sunday, James 1:17-21.
“Every good gift and every per
fect g'ft is from above.”
There is an immense amount of
good in the world, and it is all a
proof of the spiritual power that
comes from God. Divine goodness,
working through mankind, will con
quer evil.

MAKE MERRY UNTIL
“TOP O’ THE MORNING"
There is something strangely fas
cinating about the , Irish, and that
feeling was fully demonstrated last
night when one of the largest and
most jolly crow'd of dancers at
tended the dance given by the
Eagles and made merry until the
“top o’ the morning.”
Emanon orchestra furnished very
good and appropriate music. Ice
cream, cakes and coffee were served
on the stage, and the eighty or
more couples present enjoyed the
hospitality of their hosts, the Eagles
immensely. On the arrival of the
Watson, many passengers availed
themselves of the opportunity and
joined the dancers until about mid
night.

ALCOIIOLESS WINE IS
NEW PROPHYLACTIC
Dealcoholized wine is described in
L’ltalia Agricola as a new product
of the wine industry. This bever
age is quite different from the un
fermented grape juice- It is made
from ordinary wine, and contains all
the components of the latter except
alcohol, including ethers and alde
hydes to which its pleasant taste
and stimulating properties are due.
It also contains the same acids, and
especially tannic acid, W’hich has
been found to exercise a protective
action against the germs of cholera
and typhus.

REFLECTIONS OF A
BACHELOR GIRL
(By Helen Rowland in F-I.)
A girl always knows intuitively
when a man wants to marry her,
the difficult thing is to prove it to
her.
The woman who goes insane for
love, and the man who goes to the
devil for a woman, usually haven't
far to go.
A man’s life is a complete tragedy
so long as he has courage enough
left to make love to another woman;
no woman’s hope completely dead
so long as she has vanity enough
left to powder her nose.
What’s the use of being philoso
phical ? If a woman is jealous of
her husband everybody says: Poor
thing. She knows him!’ If she
isn’t everybody says, “Poor thing!
She trusts him!” So what can a
poor wife do?
Nowadays half the people live in
motor cars—and wonder why the
other half are allowed to live!
There are only three things worth
while that a man can give any wo
man in this world—love, support or
friendship; yet, so many of them
.stem to tliink that she ought to feel
£ ghly thnlled and flattened when
they offer her a casual kiss and a
cheap compliment.
Flirtation is the Relish of life,
love the wine, marriage the roast—
and divorce the black coffee which
“settles” everything.
The price of money is heavy in
deed! The man who works for it
earns it by the sweat of the brow,
but the man who marries for it
earns it by the sweat of the heart
and the shrinkage of the soul.
—
When a man says, “I’m sorry’”
..£ merely means that he’s tired,
Dearie. No man ever repents so
long as the game or the woman is
interesting.
Reno motto: “It’s a wise woman
that knows her own divorce
“grounds”—before she has consult
ed her lawyer.
H. R. THOMPSON

With sounding words, will ring
Changes upon the thing,

COFFEE; we want the best,
Cheapest, purest—all the rest.

And gloom destroy.

Of California state,
