MEXICO'S NEW PRESIDENT. Obregon Man of Unusual Native Ability, and is Big Enough For Job. Mexico has in Alvaro Obregon, the , new first chief, the ablest ruler since Porfirio Diaz, says James Thurston Barner, Xew York attorney, seen by the Washington Herald, at the Raleigh, upon his return from that country, where he has mining in:e.:osts. "Mexico has long stood in need of a few Irishmen to govern the country and a few Jews to put it on its feet financially," Barnes remarked jocularly. ' Obregon, you know, is nothing more than O'Brien with a Castillian twist," he continued, "and the new president is proud of his Celtic blood, which he traces with little difficulty . to one O'Brien, who took a fast boat out of Cork about the time of Robert Emmet." Biography Replete With Romance. The biography of Obregon is as romantic as the figure of the one-armed warrior, who in the words of the Paris Matin, rules over a race of savages, according to Barnes. Alvaro Obregon was the youngest of a most prolific family, one of the largest in Sonora today. Anything he now possesses, and he is credited with a good sized fortune, he get for ' .i-i -i. -^ i _ t mmseir. ah mat 11? nuuws m Luatiiematics, engineering and other sciences, he taught himself. His mother was of a good famiiy, but with little money. From her be is said to have gotten his romantic attitude toward life. She was a good horse woman, a crack shot, and thought little of pursuing a bandit. Her family had lost most of its wealth in rebellions which had proved failures. Alvaro lost his father at an early age and his childhood was spent under the gentle tutelage of the women of the household. This perhaps accounts for his inherent gentleness and his extreme sensitiveness to surrounding impressions. "The most remarkable thing about Obregon, to my mind, is his unerring memory," said Barnes. "This is the . result of his admirable self discip- , line. All his life he has applied himself to the training of his memory. Now it is no feat for him to scan a ^ document rapidly and then repeat the text of it without an error. "Obregon has an almost uncanny memory for names and faces. I recall my first meeting with him, a brief one in Mexico City during which we exchanged a few words. I met him a . few months later and he not only re- ] called my name and business, but every detail of our conversation." This remarkable faculty of recalling names and faces was also one of the notable traits of Porfirio Diaz, whom Barnes knew intimately. J The new president delights in performing slight-of-hand tricks to the mystification of his friends and it has been said that if he ever lost the presidency he could easily make a comfortable living in vaudeville. Like Henri Fabre, the French nat uralist who died a few years ago, Obregon mastered the principles of high, er mathematics without a master. ^ His military education was obtained * in the same laborious and tedious fa%frion. "There is no comparison between , Obregon and Villa," Barnes explained. "The latter was an illiterate bandit, Obregon, on the other hand, is a scientist, with a knowiedge of strategy ( and tactics unsurpassed by any fellow officer. ( a singularly fortunate circumstance the accident which cost Obregon the loss of his right arm was witnessed by the thousands. This greatly added to the esteem in which he is held bv the Sonora Indians. "It was during his campaign against Villa that a shell burst in front of him. The greater part of his right arm was torn away by the case, but maintaining w-onderful self-control, he took an emergency dressing, and with his left hand applied the band- ; age without wincing. His arm was amputated the same night, but three days later he was once more in the field. This greatly added to his prestige among the Sonora Indians, for the saying that no Mexican commander had ever himself been wound, ed in campaign had become almost proverbial. Witnessed Burial of Old President. Barnes was one of the thousands who witnessed the interment of Carranza in the potter's field near Mexico * City. When Carranza left Chapultepec on the memorable trip with the "gilded train" laden with the treasure of the Mexican government, he told his daughter in farewell that if he came back it was his desire to be buried in the potter's field. After his defeat and capture his ' instructions were carried out to the letter. In the view of almost the entire population of Mexico City, who assembled to witness the unique spectacle, the body of the dead chief was laid in a pauper's grave. Sic transit gloria mundi! A Debate. Two gentlemen of Ethiopia were discussing the incubator method of t raising chickens. It was Saturday 1 afternoon at a country store down in Georgia. "Naw, sir, 'tain't no nachel way to 1 raise 'em, and them incubator chickens is always punvlike. Ise knowed it for a Mong time. Them chicken t eggs wa'n't 'tended ter be hatched 1 by nothing but er chicken hen. You 1 can't change 'at Nature 'tended and c 'spect no good results." i ''Go on, nigger, you all don't know what you's talkin' erbout. These here * is times er science. We's been er raisin' 'em with them incubator con- - traptions fo' five years, and ain't never seed no difference. 'Cordin' to yo' argumints a chicken egg w'at's < sot under er turkey hen ain't gwine i turn out nothin, neither. Has you 1 ever noticed er puny chicken hatched. under er turkey hen? Answer me ] that thare argumint, you black fo' 1 fiusher you!" i > ? Rural Repartee. j If old Henry Barker was the most j inquisitive man in the village, Bill . Williams was the surliest. i One afternoon, as Henry perambu- ( lated slowly along the one narrow street, he paused at Bill's garden < fence and gazed inquiringly over at : Bill, who was busily.engaged in nail- 1 ing a very large box. "Afternoon, Bill," said the old ] man genially. "Whatever be you put- 1 tin' in that big box?" ( Bill paused in his hammering long J enough to retort curtly: < "All your questions, if it's big i enough." Henry eyed him in painful silence j for a few moments. Then he took an ( empty match box from his pocket and threw it over to Bill. "That'll do for your civil answers, if it's small enough," he retorted quietly. Johnny Speaks His Mind. The teacher was trying to bring out the word "perseverance." "Now, suppose," she said, "someone wrere J T ~ ,3 CO go on aay aner any ueiug guuu, ^ and doing good, despite all tempta,ions and hindrances, what would that ^ be?" A small hand shot up. < "Well, Johnny, what would you i call it?" 1 "Monotonous," replied the boy.? * Boston Transcript.
