JUAN AND YSABEL.
In the rocky but pleasant little valley
of the Rio Florido, in the state of Chi
huahua, not far from the Btation of Cor
ralitos on the Mexican Central railway,
there may be seen the ruins of what
50 years ago was the magnificent
manor house or hacienda of a large
rancho. There, too, wore raised the
strong, black bulls for the arenas of Chi
huahua and the lower provinces of
Mexico. The gateway to this once fa
mous place, although dilapidated and
thrown down, has not yet crumbled
Into dust, but still shows the marks of
its former Bplendor. On the left side of
the entrance, about 800 feet distant from
the broad road which led to the stately
mansion, side by side, are two wooden
crosses roughly fashioned out of oak
logs, on both of which with care may
still be traced a rudely carved inscrip
tion. The words are in that crude
Mexico-Castilian language common to
the country. That on the right as you
face the line of what was once the fence
surrounding the grounds of the haci
enda invites the passerby to offer:
"One ave maria and a pntfir noster for
the reposo 61 ' iiu soui 01 I sabel Mora,
who fell by the hands of the Indians on
the 11th day of October in the year 1845,
in the flower of her youth and beauty,"
On the other:
"Heft Rlff-ISR Maria fujttr.r, nnfjve.
of , killed by the Indians on the 11th
of October, 1845. Christian, for the sake
of God, pray for hiin."
The story of the young girl and young
man who lie under these rudely hewn
crosses is a sad one and absolutely true.
The rancho de Cadena is about half way
between the cities of Durango and Chi
huahua. It flourished 50 years ago under
the careful management of its owner, an
aged Mexican known all over the region
as "El Coxo" (the game leg). He was a
widower, with a family of eight sons,
each of whom was an expert in the ex
citing games of the country ' 'Colea de
toros," or the more cruel and barbarous
pastime of "El gallo."
"Colea de toros" in plain English is
bull tailing that is, seizing the bull in
the ring by the tail and securing it un
der the right leg. The rider then, by
wheeling his horse suddenly outward,
upsets the bull in the midst of his mad
career, the huge animal rolling Over and
over in tho dust, bellowing with pain
and fright. "El gallo," much more bru
tal, consists of fastening a rooster by
the leg to a tree or to a picket driven into
the ground, with its head and neck well
greased. The game is played on horse
back, all, starting together, strive to
reach the bird first, and seizing it by the
neck try to break the strings tha't hold
it and ride off with the prize. The well
greased neck generally slips through the
fingers of the first who grasps it, but as
soon ns one finds himself in possession
he rides off pursued by the rest, whose
object is to rescue the fowl. Of ciaurse
in the exciting contest which ensues "vthe
bird is torn to pieces. Then the tarty
nate possessor of the bleeding morseli
'selsSl
presents thorn to his lady love as a gage
d'amonr.
The eight sons of "El Coxo" were con
ceded to be the bravest, the handsomest
and the best in handling the lasso of any
young men in the state of Chihuphua.
Their experience from boyhood
qneros or herdsmen on their fathert vast
pastures had made them as used to sit
ting on a horse as iu a chair, and the
character of the fierce bulls which were
raised on the ranch expressly for the are
nas of the City of Mexico inspired them
with the brave nature of the famous ani
mals themselves.
Residing with the family was a young
girl, a ward of "El Coxo," an orphan
and the daughter of a friend and class
mate at school. Ysabel Mora was in
1845 but 16 years olda very pretty,
black eyed, black haired girl, tho "toast"
of both the valley of Rio Florido and of
the valley of Nassos. Her extreme love
liness even had been the talk of the great
fair held in Ban Bartolomo.
Escamilla, the third son of "El Coxo,"
was just 20, stood 5 feet 10 in bis, shoes,
was as straight as an arrow, and as lithe
some as the reeds 'that grew on the mar
gin of the lagoons on the ranch. He was'
better educated than the rest of his brot ti
ers, both in s practical sense and in the
usages of the best society the republic
afforded, as he had attended two or three
terms at school in the City of Mexico,
tho great capital of the great nation to
wuieu ne ueiougeu, ami which lie ue
lisved to be tho best on earth. Iu his
first bull fight after his return from the
metropolis, he made his appearance in
the arena in a most elaborate suit, fash
ioned from the reigning style at the cap-
patting
Powder
ital, creating a surprise among his own
eix that bordered 11)1011 jealousy and a
furore iimonf? those of the opposite. He
distinguished himself further by throw
ing three bulls successively.
Escamilla's rival in good looks and ex
pertness in the bull ring was his brother
Juan Maria in fact, there were many
of the people of the Rio Floriilo; both old
vaqueros and young maidens, who
thought Juan far surpassed Escnmilla in
manliness at least if not in personal
beauty. He certainly equaled him in
horsemanship, simply lacking perhaps
somo of that "brilliancy of execution"
which Escamilla had acquired in the
City of Moiico.
Before tie return of Escamilla to Ca
dena Juan Maria was always the first at
"El gallo" and "Colea de toros," and had
ever laid bis trophies of the sport at the
feet of the bewitching Ysabel. At a
"gallo" in December, four months before
the arrival of Escamilla, Ysabel was
wooed and in a measure won bv the
presentation of the remains of a gallant
rooster at the hands of Juan Maria, who,
his offering being well received, from
that moment looked upon the beautiful
girl as his sweetheart. .
When, however, Escamilla took up
his abode at the hacienda again, he. too
much of an exquisite to work with his
brothers and father in the great pas
tures, finding plenty of time on his hands
for courting, supplanted Juan in the af
fections of the young girl. As Juan's
nature was superior in frankness and
open heartedness, ho refrained from
forcing his suit, and the affair was. con
cluded by a day being set for the mar
riage of Ysabel and Escamilla.
In honor of the occasion it was deter
mined to have a grand bull fight, at
which all the neighbors within a radius
of 100 miles were to be present. The
morning before the ceremony was to bo
performed "El Coxo," with all his sons,
excepting Escamilla, who remained be
hind to attend upon his affianced YsaViel,
started out into r-iie'ww -rjqtiire
th jn-rpes? dri. iii ,,'a'j lijmense
black bulls required for the sport, while
other neighboring rancheros busied them
selves in building stout corrals in which
to secure them until the time arrived to
lead them into the arena.
Tovard evening, while the mesquite
grass lay culi ?"d gray under the shad
ows of the mountain.:' Camilla and the
happy Ysabel left their hanCT.ocks on
the wide gallery of the house, where Xie,y
had been resting during the sultry hours,
to take a walk along the main trail lead
ing toward the rocky hills.
When they reached a point half a mile
from the gate of the hacienda, where a
thicket of chapparal bounded each side
of tho road, suddenly there arose a cloud
of dust in front of them.
"Here come tho bull fighters," ex
claimed Ysabel, as she withdrew her
waist from tho encircling arm of her
lover; "let us go back to the house."
"Oh, no," replied Escamilla, "perhaps
they are my father and brothers. Yes,
there are eight; look!"
But what the poor girl really saw, with
her eyes almost starting from their sock
ets and motionless with fear, as she rec
ognized them now only a few hundred
yards away, was a band of Comanches,
caked to the waist, painted horribly and
brandishing their lances. In a moment,
heedless of the helpless maid at his side,
the coward Escamilla turned and fled
down the trail toward the rancho, shout
ing as he ran: "Los barbaros! Los bar
barosl" In a few rods a horseman met him. It
was his brother Juan Maria. He had
caught a young antelope with his lasso
and was riding ahead of his party to pre
sent it to Ysabel. The exclamation of
the frightened Escamilla and one glance
up the road showed him the danger the
poor girl was in. He threw the animal
wl, ZX
he was carrying to the ground, and
,i..,.i....i .,.ji.. i. ..'..
horso dashed furiously to the rescue,
Alas, the savages were ulready upon herl
Ysabel, covering her face with her hands
as if to thwart the impending blow and
recognizing Juan, shrieked out to her old
lover, "Salva me, Juan Maria, por Dios,
salva mel" At that inBtant the lance of
the nearest Indian pierced her heart, and
in another her reeking scalp was swung
exultantly aloft by the incarnate fiend.
Short was his triumph. Almost bound
ing through the air, with ever ready
lasso swinging above him, Juan Maria
threw the open coil from his expert
hand, and it fell over tho Indian's head.
As the skillful thrower pulled up his
bridle reins, heavily tho savage tumbled
to the earth. Then Juan had feurful
odds to contend against. Received with
a flight of arrows and unarmed except a
6hort, rusty sword, regardless of every
thing but to avenge the murder of tlie
girl he deeply loved, he attacked the
nearest Indian, and bringing him within
reach of his arm cleft his skull by a
master Btroke.
Tbe others, terrified at, the fierce look
of the brave Mexican, keeping at a re-
- ,!''
anectful distance irom him, assailed
1 with a shower of arrows, and in an
fistant he was bleeding from a score of
terrible wounds. Still the gallant Juan
fought bravely, hoping against hope, and
was sex n encouraged by tho shouts of his
father and t.ix brothers, whose horses
were on the dead run to the rescue. Tho
old man and his sons rode up in time to
see Juan lull l.'oin bis Iioi-ki;, pierced by
a f,..itVioril uln.ft nt;t i.linvfl IlK breast.
"El Coxo" and lii boys fought with ,
desperate c-o,.rKe to ,yeg the murder ,
of YM and Ja. Half - dozen of
the Comancnes were soon matle to ' bite
the dust," but two of the Mexicans also
lay dead upon the now reddened sod.
The rancheros came up in a short time
from the hacienda in force, compelling
the Indians to retreat, but as night was
now upon them th8 Mexicans were
obliged to abandon pursuit.
On the ground lay the still quivering
body of the unfortunate Ysabel and near
her the two Indians killed by the gallant
Juan Maria. Juan was quite dead, 20
arrows having pierced him. Two of his
brave brothers were seriously wounded,
and six of the savages were killed, be

Philosophy of Grumbling;. ,
"You may call us confirmed grum
blers," said a regular John Bull sort of
Britisher the other day, "but I tell you
our grumbling pays. When things go
wrong with you Americans, you make
tun of it and laugh at it and endure it.
When things go wrong with us, we keep
on grumbling until they are set straight.

PRIZES"0N PATENTS.
How to Get Twenty.five Hundred
Dollars for Nothing,
The Winner has a clear Gift of a Small
Fortune, and the Losers Have Patents
that may Bring them in Still More.
Would you like to make twenty-five hundred
dollars? If yon would, read carefully what
follows and you may see a way to do it.
The Press Claims Company devotes much
attention to patents. It hus handled thousands
of appllcfUiutiB for Inventions, but it would
like to handle, thousands more. There is plenty
of inventive tallent at large in this count! y
needing nothing but encouragement to produce
practical results. ThHt encouragement the Press
Claims Company propose to give
MOT SO IIAHI) AS IT SLKiHN,
A patent strikes most people as an appalling
ly formidable thing. The idea is thai an in
ventor must be a natural genius, like Edison or
Bell; that he mtirtt devote years to delving in
complicated mechanical problems and that he
mum spend a fortune on delicate experiments
before he can get a new device lo a patentable
degree of perfection. This delusion the com
pany desires to dispel. It desires to get Into
the head of the public a ciear comprehension
of the fact that It is not the great, complex, and
expensive inventions that bring the best returns
to their authors, but the little, simple, and
cheap ones the things that seem so absurdly
trivial that the average citizen would feel
somewhat ashamed of "bringing them to the
attention of the Patent Otliee.
KdUon says that the profits he has received
from the patents on all his marvelous Inven
tions have not been sutlicient to pay the coht
of his experiments. Hut the man who con
ceived the idea of fastening a bit of rubber
cord to a child's bull, so that it would come
buck to the hand when thrown, made a fortune
out of his scheme, The modern sewing-machine
in a miracle of Ingenuity the product
of the toil of hundreds of buhv brains through
a hundred and tifty years, but the whole bril
liant rem. n rests upon ine simple device of
putting theeye of the needle at the point in
stead of at the other end.

Comparatively few people regard themselves
as Inventors, but almost every body has been
struck, at one time or another, with ideas that
seem calculated to reduce 6ome of the little
frictions of life. Usually such ideas are dis
missed without further thought.
"Why don't the railroad company make itB car
windows so that they can be slid up and down
without breaking the passengers' back?" ex
claims tho traveler. "If I were running the
road I would make them iu such a way."
"What was the man who made the saucepan
thinking of?" grumbles the cook. "He never
bad to work over a stove, or he would have
knowD how tt ought to have been fixed."
"Hang such a collar button !' growls aman
who is late for breakfast. "If I were in the
business I'd make buttons that wouldn't slip
out, or break off, or gouge out the back of my
neck
And the various sutt'erers forgot about their
grievances and began to think of something
else. If they would set down the next con
venient opportunity, put their Ideas about car
windows, saucepans and collar buttons into
practical shape, aud then apply for pater-'n
they might f.nd themselves as ic Jependeuuy
wealthy as tbe man who invented the iron
umbrella ring, or tho one who patented
the fifteen puzzle.

the successful one merely selling his or the
amount of the prize. .But the Press Claims
Company's ofl'er la something entirely differ

best advantage is to be rewarded by doing it.
The prize is only a stimulus to do something
thai would be well worth doing without it.
The architect whose competitive plan for a

ittle use to him. Hut the person who patent a
simple aud useful device in the Press Claims
Company's competition, need not worry If he
fail to secure a prize. lie has a substantial
result to show for his work one that wIJ
command its value lu the market at any
time.
The man who uses any article in his daily
work ought to know better how to Improve It
than the mechanical expert who studies it
only from the theoretical point of view. Get
rid of the idea that an improvement can be too
simple to be worth patenting. The simplerthe
better. The person who best succeeds in
combining simplicity and popularity, will get
the Press Claims Company's twcuty-flvo hun
dred dollars.
The responsibility of this company may be
judged from the fact t hat Its stock is held by
about three hundred of the leading newspapers
of the United States.
