, Horse Holds Its Own.
According to the crop reporting ex
perts of the department of agriculture,
the number of horses in the United
States at the begninnlng of the year
was larger by 400,000 than it was 12
months ago, says, the Cleveland Plain
Dealer. That means an Increase of
about 2 per cent. In the same year
the Hse in the market value of all the
horses in the country was estimated
at about $302,311,000, which means a
gain of more than 12 per cent. At the
end of 1909 the total value of the
horses in the United States was calcu
lated at almost the aggregate value of
the swine, the sheep and the cattle
It was five times as great as the value
of the hogs, 10 times the value of the
sheep, and more than $500,000,000 in
excess of the market price of all cat
tle, including milch cows.
. These facts show more than the gen
eral rise in prices. They furnish proof
that the horse market Is exceptionally
strong and that the Increase in the
number of horses, although it has been
about equal in the rate per cent to the
growth of the population, has not been
sunfeient to prevent a sharp rise in the
average market value of horses in all
sections of the country. As long as
the value of the horses in the United
States can Increase more than $300,
000,000 In a year, the farmers and
others who raise horses for the market
will trouble themselves very little
about the competition of automobiles
and all other rivals of the horse In
any of the fields where he has been
used.
The horselgss vehicle is a great suc
cess. So is the trolley railroad, and
so are 1 traction engines and steam
plows, in certain fields, but the world
evidently needs the horse as much as
ever. The modern inventions which,
have seemed to threaten his banish
ment have only widened the use of
vehicles and Increased travel and
traffic. -

ASQUITHS SOON

British Premier Does Not Live Hap

London, March 11. "Judicial separ
ation" of Prime Minister Herbert As-
quith and his wife was yesterday the
favorite topic of conversation in Lon
don society. The affair is no longer
regarded as a mere rumor, but has ar
rived at the stage where actual pro
ceedings are believed near at hand.
Although news of an actual breaK
was a surprise to many, the Asquiths
long have been known not to live hap
pily together. Many thought, how
ever, "that for reasons of policy they
would not invite the publicity of court
proceedings.
It Is now almost certain that Mr.
Asquith will resign the leadership of
the liberal party and retire as prime
minister. He will be made a peer by
King Edward If the present program
is carried out, and find a scope for his
ability In other channels.
Within two weeks the premier i3
said to havo offended King Edward
by appearing before him too soon
after having lunched ' well, but not
wisely. He came to ask a pledge from
the king that he would sustain the
government's hand In the matter of
abolishing the veto of the house of
lords.
"I will give you no pledge," said the
king tartly, "but I advise you, sir, to
take one."

The Argus Daily Short Story
The Bandit Chief
Copyrighted. 1910. by
The government of Mexico is today,
very different from what it was when
that state shared 'in . the revolutions
still common in Central America. A
time was when there was no safety
for any one in that then turbulent
country. That was when the bandits
flourished.
At this time lived Cortina, the great
est bandit that Mexico has ever known.
While factions were fighting for the
presidency the country was in a state
of chaos, and Cortina met no obstacle
in his wild career. He rode through
Mexico like a cyclone, murdering and
pillaging by the way. What he did
with the wealth he took was not gen
erally known. He certainly did not
carry it about with him. He spent a
great deal when in a position to use
money, which was not often, but even
tMs would not account for the enor
mous amounts he should have accumu
lated. '
Some supposed that he had hiding
places in the mountains and that even
tually be would buy Immunity of the
government for his crimes, make some
restitution and still have a vast treas
ure left. . But Cortina never "gave evi
dence of having such treasire. There
came a time when he could have used
wealth if he had had it to save his
life. Either he did not attempt to use
it thus or it was refused. The latter
supposition Is not to be entertained.
There must have been some hidden
reason why Cortina was permitted to
plunder apd why he did not grow rich.
There have been many theories, but
only one that fulfills the conditions.
A ceriaiu man was aspirant for the
presidency of Mexico, To perpetrate
a Mexican revolution money is re

quired. This man, whose purpose it
was to overthrow the existing gov
ernment, bad no means. It was sup
posed that he had an agreement with
Cortina by which the bandit was to
furnish the required sum. In other
words, so the story goes, Cortina was
to be permitted to pillage the country
on condition that the lion's share of
the plunder be turned over to the pres
idential aspirant for the purpose of
attaining his ambition.
When the revolution was accom
plished It was supposed that an effort
would be made to capture Cortina and
punish him for his crimes. But the
tfjvernment did not appear to be in
any hnrry to do so. Cortina still swept
over the Mexican, plateau, perpetrating
bis lawless deeds. There came a time,
however, when the people began to
murmur, and many unpleasant rea
sons were given why the bandit was
permitted -to continue his devastations.

Associated Literary Frea.
Then at last a body of mounted sol
diers went out to where he was oper
ating, captured him and brought him
to the capital.
s Everybody was surprised at the ease
with which the capture was accom
plished. It had been supposed, ex
cept by those who pretended to know,
that the robber chief would make a
splendid fight. Instead he surrender
ed inglorioualy. The wise ones looked
wiser still and whispered that slnco
Cortina had furnished the money
which had established the existing
government there would naturally be
an understanding between him and
that government. He bad permitted
himself to be captured. Would he
suffer the penalty, of his crimes?
Those who knew most thought
not.
Nevertheless Cortina was tried, con
victed and sentenced to death. The
date of execution was reserved for the
government to fix. Meanwhile the
criminal was confined in prison at the
capital. Several weeks after the sen
tence the day had not been named.
As many months elapsed, and Cortina
was Still living. Then came ;r.j order
from the government to liH Jailer
that he should be permitted to go out
on parole each day. After that Cor
tina went where he liked about the
city on his promise to return to prison
at evening.
There have been criminals from
time immemorial who have won the
sympathy and admiration of men. Thi j
is due to their touching some choi
that responds to the human heart.
From this point Cortina won the
sympathy of many first, from a stand
ard of honor which he set up for him
self and, second, because his heart
was given to a woman. His word
was passed that be would return every
evening to his Jail, and every evening
he returned.
Was this because he respected his
promise or because he knew the gov
ernment could recapture him if he
broke his parole and would then be
likely to fix a date for his execution?
It 6eems more likely that the govern
ment," for reasons iest kiiown to it
self, preferred that he should take
himself away and relieve it of the
necessity of his execution. There
were doubtless secrets in their con
nection with the bandit that they
would not care to have him reveal and
which may account for their leniency.
But to some who knew nothing about
this Cortina .was considered (paradox
ically) the soul of honor.
But in the case of the bandit's love
there were no such reasons for. with
holding sympathy. There was no
cause for his loving nothing to gain.
It was simply a product of nature
that pertains alike to the good and
the bad. After he had been permit
ted to go about at his pleasure for
more than a year there came to the
capital a beautiful woman from the
Caribbean coast. Cortina met this
woman and, though he was a convict,
a murderer and a robber, she permit
ted him to become acquainted with
her. From becoming acquainted the
two' became companions. They were
frequently seen together in the streets,
and Cortina visited her In her apart
ments. People wondered when tbey met the
strange couple if this were not a case
of genuine love, underfthe influence
of which a C?nd incarnate wonld be.
transformed into a lovable and loving
man. Soldiers who were responsible
for the man's keeping observed, but
said nothing. Tbey had their orders
from the government and obeyed
tbem. Iudeed. all tbat pertsined to
this man to whom cities bad given up
their gold and silver, before whom
whole towns had disappeared, by
whom the streets of both cities and
towns pad been made to run Wood
and who was now permitted to go
where he liked upon his word of,bor
orf-his every .movement wasobserved.
and yet no one openly made any com
ment or criticism.
But underneath the people marveled
to see one who was ostensibly wait
ing for the government to fix a day
when the garrotte should end bis ca
reer forever, giving himself up to the
pleasure of loving and being loved,
without an effort to avert the final
tragedy. Why did he not steal away,
which he might easily have done with
the womau he loved, and In some for
eign land live a life of atonement for
his crimes? But would she go with
him? Would she share bis exile, al
ways in dread wherever they might
make a home, that he should become
known as the bandit Cortina? Of this
no one knew. They could only wonder.
And still the man under sentence and
the Caribbean beauty appeared to
gether on the thoroughfares, and
through her open windows came their
voices, sometimes mingled with laugh
ter or the strains from her guitar.
One night Cortina's jailers met with,
a surprise. The sunset and the pris
oner had not returned. Perhaps he
had been belated. The twilight faded,
and yet nothing was seen of the pris
oner. At dark he was still absent, and
the guard was turned out. Whether
it was called out under a pretense
or whether the orders were that they
should make an effort to find the pris
oner and return him to jail doesn't
matter. This man of so much unrecog
nized importance to the government
was missing, and It behooved the au
thorities to show zeal In looking for
him.
The guard was about to start from
the prison yard when a man staggered
np to the gate,' threw up his bands
and fell upon his face. Lifting him
up, they threw back his jacket, and
there up against bis breast waa the
hilt of a stiletto. .
The man was Cortina.
"Yes, I am late," he said feebly, "but
I came. Love lured me to death, I
bad been with ber all the afternoon.
Then when it waa time for me to
return here she begged me to stay
longer with her. When X came away
the night had-fallen. We walked to
gether to tho door. I kissed ber good
by. It was dark. I felt the point of
a knife as it slipped into my vitals.
I drew the pistol you havo permitted
me to carry, but she bad vanished In
the shadow."
Cortina gasped, and his bead fell
upon his breast. He was dead.
The beautiful Caribbean was not
again seen la the capital. The next
day the story of Cortina's death was
told among the people, but no one ven
tured upon an explanation. Some sup
posed that the woman who killed him
was one on whom be bad inflicted
misfortune during the period of bis
crimes. Perhaps be might have mur
dered some one dear to ber -might
have robbed her of a fortune. Others
who were nearer the truth kept their
suppositions to themselves. The sti
letto was a convenient method at the
time for silencing people who talked
too much.
But gradually Cortina, his singular
treatment by the government, the
manner of his taking off, ceased to be
the wonder of the day, giving place to
new sensations. Some' years after,
when a new president came into pow
er, many acts of wickedness ef bis
predecessor came to light. It then be
came known that the government
dared not openly execute Cortina be
cause of his threats and those of his
former companions In crime to reveal
the government's complicity In their
robberies. The beautiful Caribbean
had been paid a large sum to become
his executioner.
