Don Luis was at one time governor of Chlhua- hua, but public life did not suit him; It was too quiet and he preferred to spend his life riding over the plains and looking after his own enterprises, He is three times as rich as any other man in Mexico, and has the name of being liberal and generous toward his work people. Don Luis founded his cattle ranch married to a beautifull wife. He is the father of twelve children seven sons and five daughters. The sons are all associated with Don Luis in looking after the ranch, while the daughters said to be the most beautiful women in Mexico remain quietly at the homestead.

PHIZES WITH BRIDGES .MAKE IT LOTTEHY CHICAGO, Dec. 8. Dridge part'cs, when prizes are offered, are lotteries, according to the ruling the United States Post Office Department has given in a dispatch to the Tribune, from Hartford, Conn., which says: "According to a decision re- ceived yesterday from the Post Office Department at Washing- ton, it is illegal to send invita- tions through the mall to bridge parties or to any card parties where prizes are given. "A conscientious Hartford man has been reading In the papers about card parties at which prizes were awarded, and where money has been won and lost at brldgo.

An enemy which has to be sternly fought on this great ranch is fire, and scarcely a summer passes with- . . . . , , v , , fJ out great tracts of prairie being laid waste by its destroying advance, Throughout the torrid months there is a man stationed on the "lookout" at every station each hour of the twenty-four, and directly he sees in- dlcations which tell him that a fire alarm bell, and in an incredibly short time men come riding in, ready to fight the danger with their lives, if necessary. ' The frightened cattle are driven sldewise from the line of the oncom- ing fire, and then the enemy is at- tacked from the rear. It is no good attempting to stop a prairie fire from the front, for its progress is too an - nihilating. Heavy chains are drag- ged along the ground, which help to weaken and dissipate the fire. Acros the prairie long furows 50 feet apart are quickly made, and these also help to stem the progress of the fire. AH night the fight is kept up, and not until the last spark is quenched are the men able to take food and THANKSGIVING MEAL KILLED DALLES BAY THE DALLES, Ore., Dec. 8.

Other men looked on the forbidding face and passed on. Some there were ivho answered to the frown and.pass-ed it on to others. And the way was .veary and dark for some that day. On the same day a little child, wak ing from a pleasant dream, looked up jito Its mother's face nnd smiled. On the mother's face came an answering smile. The smile on the mother's face was )f the kind that would not come off. And when she said pood by to the Eatber of the child on the morning of , face of the man. j On the same day In the heart of a man lay a desperate deed.

Another, weary of the strug- ?ie and on the verge of falling, looked it the illumined face, and hope grew , igaln in his soul. j A child crying In the streets looked 3? through its tears to the radiant face L IUU LUUU UUU LVUMTU IAJ trtrl. A young girl, friendless and torn by l pitiful strife between degradation lnd starvation, looked on the face of the strong man with the smiling face md somehow found in her inmost soul the strength to resist temptation and despair. ... Veeary S'SS. the despairing girl knew somehow the power of that smile, 1 Others, more prosperous, less tempt- ed, saw the father's smile and passed It on, and on that day men and wo- men and children were saved from Jjn and from the Bnare o the i gQ 8tory rnns I jjd it ig told that on that day the uttle child who In the morning smiled Into the mother's face met pain and sorrow, and the smile was replaced with many tears. And the light on the mother's face faded Into fear. And the father had mnny cares that day. But the smile traveled on. The frown, having done Its worst, died out. The smile traveled on. THE DOG DIDN'T UNDERSTAND. Her name was Maggie Ryan. Sulleu eyed and defiant, she swept Into the polite court. Her hair was awry and her clothes were rumpled from a night at the police station. A little brown spaniel trotted at the woman's heels. Maggie Ryan had slept or tried to sleep on tho hard, bare confines of the matron's room. Usually dogs real, for sure dops are not admitted to the sta tion, but tomethlng In the woman's wistful face caused the matron to let this little dog in. Iu the morning the woman divided lier rough breakfast with the spaniel. With reckless bravado and scorning the audience of curious loafers Mag gie Hyan answered the Judge's ques tions. The dog stayed close. Maggie was arrested as a disorderly. "V. and D "drunk uud disorderly. Her eyes were hard and cynical. Her mouth was set In a severe, straight line.
