Don Luis
was at one time governor of Chlhua-

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

ruling the United States Post

"According to a decision re-

where money has been won and
lost at brldgo.
"Ho wrote to the Postmaster-
General and received a reply
from E. P. Goodwin, Assistant
Attorney General, saying card
parties are regauied as lotteries
when prizes are given, and In
that event matter relating to

attempting to stop a prairie fire from

A FROWN AND A SMILE.
Once upon a time, o the tnry goes.
l man b id a vickiu th night iu bis
jeart. nud it showed Iu hi face His
'ace was dark with batied uud a low
leslre.
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. He saw

ration. 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

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. Traces of a one time beauty lln
;erod. Dabs of face powder showed
too thick in some spots.
The bpanlel crouched close to the wo
man's skirts.
"J will give you until tonight to
leave town." said the jtldge. The Judge
was kind hearted,' and ho had looked
often nt the little spaniel. ', '
She started toward the door. From
there Bhe would probably "hit the
rails" out of town, out somewhere,
anywhere out of town.
The little do started too. Briskly
he sprang to hor side. Onfco ho Jumped
up and licked her hand.
Foi'the ttret tline'that day the wo
man's lip quivered.' Her eyes softened.
They were almost beautiful eyes
when there were tears iu them.
The woman's head drooped for an
Instant, and with one huhd she furtive
ly gave the dot's head n rough caress.
The station door'swung behind them,
anllthey Started' down the street. The
little doij capered nud then trotted
proudly along at the woman's side. As
he lifted his brown eyes there was In
them n wonderful, worshipful look of
love and devotion.
Because he' wns only n dog.
