I"' A HUMAN DEVIL. Central Villa Delights to Kill Men Who Are Helpless Before Him. General Villa, the successful leader of the revolutionist forces in Mexico, is a murderer and thief, according to a wealthy mine owner who hag just returned from that troublous country, "Villa," said he, "is half devil And half cur. He is the most un- speakable wretch that ever strad- dled a horse, but he doesn't expose him.se:? to danger if he can keep out of it. I suppose he has killed as many m-en wiCh his own hands as any other man in Mexico. I doubt if half a dozen were given the chance to shoot back." He told of one occasion in the early days of the present insurrec- tion in Mexico when Villa captured twenty men of a band that had been badgering him. He- condemned them to death in his usual way, ne- ver bothering with court-martials j or other flub-dubbery. Then h j designated himself as the execu- i tione-r of his own decree. -He had ; the men bound, hands behind backs, but with eyes unbanda-ged. "This will seem impossible to you," said the mine owner, "but' Villa walked down that line of men. revolver in hand. From time to time he shot a man through the heart, and stood by him until the victim had kicked his last kick. He taunted the bound men. Prolonged Torture. "I want you to enjoy this, as I do," he told them. "Those- who gave way to terror he put aside, to be shot last of all. In that way thev savored to the last twinge the full agony of their position. Some of them he half encouraged to believe he took thfi women. He led hi? men in the excesses that followed. Twenty Years a Bandit. "For twenty years Villa lias been a bandit. In that time he has ne- ver exposed himself willingly to bullet or knife. I do not say that L..C man is a coward. I merely de- clare that fair play, a-> Anglo- Saxons understand it, is folly to Mexicans. They hate and fe-ar Villa, but it ha* never occurred to them that he was anything but superlatively sane in lying behind a rock when ne shot down his man, 1 \o\a Smiiii Case of Interest to 111 Women Halifax Sends Out a Message of Help to Many People.

AMBASSADOR'S PRIVILEGES. Only Pert-en That Can Turn Back oa a Rinz. Ambassadors to foreign courts are hedged with formalities, but they also enjoy numerous privileges unbeknown to the average layman. Ambassadors and their households are safe from arrest. The embassy is considered a geographical part of the Ambassador's own country. The Ambassador is the only per- son about court who has the ri?ht to turn his back upon a sovereign when concluding an interview. it turns and bows ifter walking three paces, a prerogative he always ex- ercises. This refers, however, only to state occasions. A peculiar sit- uation arose from his privilege in Queen Victoria's time. Of course, it was considered rude to turn i one's back to a woman, therefore an Ambassador never did. He mere- ly edged his way, sideways, to the door. Ambassadors are accorded the. privilege of entering tno presence I of a sovereign through wide-open i doors. Lesser dignitaries and ! court attaches enter through on leaf of a folding door. An Ambas- sador can demand and get an inter- view with a ruler at any time, a privilege many , sovereigns, no doubt, abhor. The sword is the Ambassador's ! i for i'e at . iorin- No > emblem of honor.
