Santa Ana's soldiers sought to lay hands upon him. - He re treated, drew his sword, seized a horse. and, amid a hall of bullets rode at full galloj) through the federal forces to the rebel camp In the hills, where. In the absenoe of his chief, he assumed com mand and successfully routed those who pursued to take him captive. From this time on Diaz's career was on. continual round of adventure. Santa Ana was defeated and driven out of Mexico. The rebel chief succeeded htm. Juares was appointed minister of Jus tice, Diaz captain of the national guard. The new administration sought to stamp out the rule of priest and pulpit that had yearly yoked Mexico to poverty by Its demands upon the people. The church Incited a rebellion. War raged through Mexico: a war in which priests appeared before charging troops; a war in which the curse of the church was thundered from thousands of alters and which steeped the fair land of Mexico In a sea of blood. Zs Ordered Banished. wm, now mane me governor of a state and military commander of a district with the rank of colonel, was beseiged In Vera Cruz, and his command reduced to a handful by the repeated onslaughts of the ecclesiastics, till at last he made a spectacular escape from noses of the Pope's With the triumphant entry of the clericals into the Mexican capital dark days began for Diaz and his band of followers. They were hunted like wolves in the mountains and reduced to the laat extremity. Then came the French Invasion, which for a time, ruled the country, banishing Diaz and his fol lowers with a price on their heads, and marking its climax of power-with his capture In Oaxaca. Again he made good his escape, and, with the whole French army in hot pursuit, found his way to the mountain fastnesses: where he repudiated with scorn an offer to tak command of th. French army. About thie time the close of the war of the rebellion left the United States free to uphold the Monroe doctrine. France waa notified to withdraw her troops, the order was obeyed and poor Archduke Maxlmtlllan was loft to his sad fate. maz, me hern of peons, put himself at the head of a rebel army.

From a ragged sailor's suit to the com mand of an army numbering thousands was the transition of a day. The Lerdo regime tottered as the news of hla ap pearance became current, and, winning victory after victory, he marched Into the capital In 1867 at the head of 12, 000 men, the flag of tb. republic proud ly flying over the aee of flashing bay onets, to be elected president a few weeks later.

To the man' on a salary, credit is necessary, and if he is honest and industrious he is as deserving of it as the man of means, who has little need of credit And we offer it to every deserving man, regardless of his finan cial condition we offer a credit that is liberal, generous, free of all unpleasant features. We demand no Security, we ask no annoying questions, land we make no charge for the' accommodation, so lack of ready money is no reason why any honest man should be without needed home comforts. He can select all the furniture and furnishings he wants from our broad stocks, have practically his own time to pay for -his pur chases and make payments in sums such as can be spared without causing' slightest inconvenience.
