'A stout heavy Mexican, with a mus
tache, dresHed In a polled brown suit.
Ma shirt collar open at the throat, was
kicking mules."
In these words John S. Reed, a for
mer Portland boy, and a son of Mrs. C,
J. Reed, opens- a most graphic pen pic
ture of Francisco Villa, the Mexican
revolutionist, which was published in
the New York World early this month
Reed, still a young; men in his
twenties, is now on the border, with
El Paso as his headqurters,acollecting
material for a series of articles for.
the Metropolitan magazine. After his
graduation from the Portland academy
In this city he matriculated at Har
vard, was graduated In 1910 and soon
after Joined the staff of the American
Magazine. To use the strict literary
parlance he haa "arrived" most rap
dlly and his description of Pancho
Villa, the man, whom he has dubbed
the Mexican Robin Hood, is an admir
able specimen of his prowess more
especially bo, since it shows a side Of
the man little known by the American
public
"Watches the Biff Han.
A stout heavy Mexican, with a mus
tache, dressed in a soiled brown suit.
his shirt collar open at the throat, was
kicking mules," writes Reed.
"I watched the big man as he drove
the mules Into the stock car., A big
hat sat on the extreme rear of his head.
His mouth hung open generously, and
from It Issued a perfect stream of mule
driver's maledictions. He was covered
with dirt. The sweat poured down his
face. He would head a mule up the
gangplank and the mule would Invar
lably balk.
" Chingado! Vamos. hljl de la!' the
big man would bellow, kicking tie
mule violently In the stomach. The
animal would snort and gallop up the
runway. Finally all the mules wero
loaded In that car. The driver put his
shoulder to the door and crashed it
shut. Then he wiped his forehead.
"'Amlgo,' yelled-he to a passing sol
Hier. "Give us a little drag.'
The man produced a canteen, whic?i
the other upended.
" Hey cried the soldier. Tou
needn't drink it all!" The big man fin
Ished the last drop and handed It
back, grinning. 'Go over to the river
nd say you have my permission to
fill it up again.'
."His forehead and turned-up nose
were so boyish and his grin so good-
natured thr'.t I spoke to him.

brown eyes set in whites slightly
bloodshot from much exposure to wind
and sun.

there won't be much fighting after you

OJa-la!" he ejaculated, suddenly
serious. L,cts hope so!' He looked
around at the preparations for a min

with Ills rifle at the end of the train,
'Say, friend, go and tell General Nntr
