ESS than half aldozen years ago
there appeared on the troubled
surface of thinjgs in Venezuela
a thin, dark , bearded young
man with bright, restless black eyes
and a high forehead. He had come
from a little Venezuelan village some-
where on the Colombian frontier, a lit-
tle village nestling at: the foot of the
snow capped Andes. He was poor, ob-
scure and without influence.
But the young man with the restless
eyes and the high forehead was a
soldier of the Napoleonic order. He
began to mix in the j various revolts
which were being fomented against the
govex-nment. He founjd plenty of this
work to do. He displayed a remarka-
ble talent for getting njien together and
making them win battles. Of course
these battles were only skirmishes, but
has met with opposition in carrying
Out this plan.
He is surrounded by enemies. When
he first appeared as dictator, they called
him “El Mono de los Andes.” This was
impolite. The phrase means “the Mon-
key of the Andes.” Later he has been
called “the Clown of Mira Flores,” the
Jitter being the name of the new gov-
ernment palace at Caracas.
In his capital Castro works as silent-
ly as a servant in rubber shoes. He
moves in the darkness, stealthily, as
one whose intent may be challenged.
He is a bat among the people. Sooner
or^later he must follow one or another
-of iiia predecessors—Guzman Blanco,
who died wealthy in Paris; Crespo,
who was shot in battle; Andrade, who,
having escaped through the back door

other. Each was for himself. Finally
Hernandez was caught away from his
army. He was taken prisoner by An-
drade. Then Andrade gave his atten-
| tion to the others.
The dark young man quietly gath-

young rBan/''coolly marched In, took
t^sessioiV j of the capital and pro-
claimed hrfrnself dictator. He has been
dictator ev^r since. His name is Clprl-
ano Castro.
Such was Vhe rise to fame of the
man who has\ involved Venezuela in a
most variegat\d lot of trouble with
European nations. From obscurity
and poverty he Ams risen with meteoric
rapidity to wor^wido fame and to
the possession of\ great wealth. For
more than three yeTjars lie has ruled his
turbulent republicV with autocratic
sway, almost constaiVtly busy in crush-
ing revolts and all tVie time more or
less at odds with pV-^^rful nations
across the sea. And today? he |s but
forty-seven years of age. \
Castro is hot, as are so ma\ny South
and Central American chief executives,
of almost wholly unmixed \spanish
blood. In fact, there is very Wle, if
any, Spanish blood in his veins. \ He is
said to be almost a full blood I-ndian,
and it is alleged that he is proxLj 0f
his origin. In many ways he it, an
Interesting and remarkable man, the
most remarkable in Venezuela.
He has much energy, a boundlegs
ambition and an unbounded belief iu
his country’s future. Ilis grand schemt,
is to merge Venezuela, Colombia and
Ecuador Iu one big federation, with
Mmself us its dictator. Naturally he
built with the forethought of fire; it is
earthquake proof.
That the steel house is bullet proof is
an added point of merit in the dicta-
tor’s eyes. That which Castro most
fears is not earthquake, not nature, but
humankind. Richard Harding Davis
tells an anecdote of Castro in connec-
tion with this steel house.
“The president is a good fellow,”
says Davis, “and the type of a fighter
General Funston represents In this
country. He is a great admirer of
President Roosevelt, whose rough rid-
ers he is never tired of hearing about,
imagining them like his own troops
which rode across the state. He want-
ed me to tell President Roosevelt that
if the United States ever went to war
he should come to Washington and of-
fer his sword in our service. An amus-
ing thing happened in his household
the other day. Some time ago he built
himself a fine ‘palace’ and put in it an
all steel room, decoi-ated by French
artists and costing $10,000, to take ref-
uge in during earthquakes. Three
weeks ago there was an earthquake,
but the pi’esident and his eutire house-
hold clean forgot the $10,000 steel room,
running instead into the street.”
In Venezuela Castro has under his
sway about 2,500,000 people, scattered
over an area of 593,943 square miles.
The population is of the same charac-
ter as in Colombia and Ecuador—a
mixture of Indians, Spanish, half
breeds and negroes, though the mix-
ture of Indian blood with the Spanish
is not so great as it is in Colombia. In
the latter country the Indian blood is
very prominent, and its possessors, so
far from seeking to conceal the fact,
fre rather proud of it.
The people of these countries are
fighters in their irregular way, but the
most sturdy and the best soldiers in
Venezuela are the cow punchers of the
llanos, great plains like the plains of
our west, and in Colombia the little
Indians from Cauca are as brave and
fond of tumult and battle as they
undisciplined and hard to control.

Rav. Carlisle F. B. Martin, L. L. D.
Waverly, Texas, writes: “Of
a morning, when first rising, I
often find a troublesome oollec-
tian of phlegm, which produced
a cough, and is very hard to
dislodge; but a small quantity
of Ballard’s Horehound Syrup
will at once dislodge it, and the
trouble is over. I know of no
medicine that is equal to it, and
it is so pleasant to take. I can
most cordially recommend it to
all persons needing a medicine
for throat or lung troubles.”
