GUARDING A PRESIDENT.
BRAVE MEXICAN GIRL. Although in Mexico women are not treated with great consideration, a young Mexican woman has attained one of the highest posts in the Republic. The woman's name is Cholita Gonzalez, she is still under 30, and she has been connected with public life ever since she was adopted by President Madero, who over-threw Pol'firib Diaz in 1911 after the splendid tyrant had given the Republic half a century of, capable government. Senorita Gonzalez assisted Madero in every phrase of his work, and when lie was assassinated in 1913 she offered her services to General Plutarco Elias Calles, ■ who has become President, but was then only a roving soldier. The bravo girl followed Calles for years 1 through his campaigns, sharing the dangers of the battlefield with a ptout heart 1 and undiminished hope. Now she is the now President's private secretary, and no , one can penetrate to his inner room in the National Palace of Mexico City without the permission of Cholita, as the most important woman in Mexico is universally called.
