WALKED 87 MILES IN DESERT
TO ESCAPE VILLA'S BAND
Ptuoky American Boy, Aged Five, 8af«
Among Troop* on Bordor.
After a hike of eighty-seven miles
over the desert little Jim Dick, the five
year-old son of an American rancher,
has found a home In the hearts of the
American soldiers on the border. The
little fellow has been adopted as the
ward of the border guards.
The bronze faced men In khaki found
time for sentiment when the boy came
trudging Into Columbus clinging to his
father's hand. Both were at the point
of exhaustion, and Jim was being fair
ly dragged over the last leg of the
Journey.
In tbe shade of an adobe but tbe fa
ther told his story.
"I had a ranch down in Chihuahua,"
he began. "A little while ago my wife
>dled. I was preparing to come back to
United States with.Jim here when
the Vflllstas came. Jim a'ndlhld.
TIicq- drove off nil my cattle and took
everything of value.
"Jim and X had nothing mnch left,
bat wo scraped together a sack of flour,
a side of bacon and a canteen of water
wrapped In a blanket Then we beat
It. We covered twenty-eight miles the
first day. It was sure hard. But the
boy held out until late afternoon with
out a whimper.
"We rolled up together In a blanket
at,nlght and slept uuder a shelf of rock.
"The second day I had to carry Jim
ten miles. lie was willing, but he didn't
have the strength. We hadn't found
any more water, and we were going
slow on what we had.
"It took us sis days to make the trip.
Jim walked a spell and then rode a
spell, me being the mu.«j. But he was
dead game, that boy was."
WHAT CAN WE DRINK?
Danger, Danger, Everywhere, Say
Chicago Health Commiaaioner.
"What can a follow drink?"
The question Is Uealth Commissioner
John Dili Robertson's, and suggestions
are In order. Here Is the way he states
the problem In the latest Issue of the
health bulletin:
"If whisky Inflames the stomach, beer
produces Bright's disease, brandy hard
ens the liver. Burgundy brings on gout,
absinth desroys the brain, typhoid
lurks in water and tuberculosis In milk,
what can a fellow drink?"
The following observations on booze
also appear In the bulletin:
"A Jag Is like a new eight passenger
car—no poor man has a right to one."
"To the scrap heap with personal lib
erty If wife and child ore to bo de
prived so that a week's wages can be
blown in on booze."
"To uncork a bottle of booze tonight
may mean breakfast cooked tomorrow
morning on an alcohol lamp."
