Those Mexican Names.
When you pronounce the name of
the illusive, now dead, now living,
ever-sure-to-be-captured Villa pro-
nounce this bandit’s name “Vee-ah”
(I have most excellent authority for
it;) and when in the next breath you
must read the name of Andreas Gar-
cia, yawn with a bored air and pro-
nounce it Ahn-dray-ahs, Gahr-thee-ah
—accenting all but the first and last
syllables. By this time you ought to
make an impression upon any listen-
er intersted in the Mexican situation
and hopelessly helpless regarding the
pronunciation of names in the Big
Bend district. In a blase manner ex-
press the opinion that “Vee-ah” is
very much alive, and pronounce the
puzzling names as follows: Arriba,
Ah-ree-bah (accenting second sylla-
ble;) Carrizal, Cah-ree-sol (accenting
second syllable;) Cienega, See-ain-ay-
gah (accenting the third syllable;)
Cuchillo Parado, Koo-chee-lyo (ac-
cent on second) Pah-rah-do (on the
second of this also;) Chihuahua,
Shee-wah-wah (accent on second;)
Guerrero, Gay-ray-ro (rool the “r” in
this, putting emphasis on second syl-
lable;) Jaboncillas, Hay-bon-see-yahs,
(accent on third syllable;) Jiminez,
Hee-mee-nays (accent on second; )
Marfa, Mahr-fuh,
Nogales, No-gah-lays, (accent on sec-
(accent on first;)
ond syllable;) Ojinaga, Oh-he-na-gah,
(accent on third syllable;) Opo del
Aguas, O-ho-dell Ah-wahs, accent on
fourth syllable;) San Elisario, Sahn,
Ay-lee-sah-ree-0, (accent on fourth, i.
e., sah;) San Ignacio, Sahn Ig-nah-
thee-o, (accent on third;) Saltillo,
Sahl-tee-o0, (accent on second syllable) |

These are but the
conspicuous
points—enough.
however, to make you appear quite
erudite if you enunciate them non-
chalantly. General Gavira’s name is
a simple matter—Gah-vee-rah, the ac-
cent on the “vee” —and who could
suspect, after “Vee-ah,” that any-
thing so easily mastered could come
out of Mexico?
A French Boy’s Pluck.
A patient in the American Ambu-
lance hospital at Neuilly-sur-Seine
tells the following story of one of his
comrades:
“We had been living in the trench-
es for days with the water above our
ankles. At that time our trenches
were only thirty-six yards away from
the German trenches, so that we could
hear the enemy talking and whist-
ling, and, indeed, we often called
across to tham.
“One day, young P., who was a hot-
tempered chap about twenty-one
years of age, threw down his shovel
and said that he wouldnt work in
such a nasty hole another moment,
and that he had rather die at once
from a German bullet than live anoth-
er day in the trench. Anyhow, he
‘was going out to chop some wood for
a floor and let the Germans shoot him
if they wished.
“Thereupon P. calmly crawled out
of the trench, walked to a woodpile
in full sight of the Germans, and he-
gan making planks from the wood.
He worked a whole hour; for the Ger-
mans were so much astonished at his
audacity, and so delighted with his
pluck, that they
made no attempt to
stop him.

“My good man,” said the philoso-
pher to the laborer who was amputat-
ing weeds from a piece of vacant real
estate, “do you ever have occasion to
complain of your lot?”
“No, sir,” answered the honest son
of toil. “I don’t own this lot.”—In-

A Politician,
“What are your views on the
tariff?”
“I'm for protection of everything
that my constituents manufacture for
sale,” replied Senator Sorghum. “And
I favor free trade for everything that
they are compelled to buy for cash.”—
