ing the period of his sojourn with the
Apaches he traversed many thousands of
miles about the country, but he never once
showed signs of fatigue or discomfort.
The camp of the Apaches was often Wis
tied by traders, and when these men had
concluded their sales to the savages they
were usually followed by a few Indians,
who waylaid them and returned with the
plunder to their camp. One would think
such treacherous acts as these would have
deferred traders from visiting them but
such seemed not to be the case, at least
while Mapes was among them.
At the termination of the second year of
his involuntary chiefship, a Mexican ira
der came into their camp. They were then
at Comanche Greek, distance of seventy
three miles from San Antonio. Mapes had
often been at the place in other days, and
the sight of it awakened anew in his heart
the desire for liberty.
The trader had got through his business
and departed, when the proposition was
made to follow and kill him and recover
what they had paid him. For the first
time, Mapes asked permission to be one of
the party, and was referred to his wife.
1t was only upon the most solemn assur-
ance that he would return that he obtain
ed her consent. The party, however, was
increased to five, it being usual to employ
only couple of Indians in matters such as
this.
The traGer had got days start when
I al,
They came upon him as he was oamped
near the Rio Saco. Keeping out of view
until evening set in, they secured their
ponies and began to amuse themselves.
Mapes had managed to obtain bottle of
whisky from the trader when he was at
the camp, and he had carefully preserved
it for future use. Ho now produced it, but
his Apache friends were cautious and did
not intend getting drunk while they had
him in charge.
They, however, drank sparingly of the
bottle. which with the exercise Of the jour
ney brought on drowsiness which soon cul-
minated in sleep. Now, if one attempts to
walk with ever so light step in the vicin-
ity of a sleeping Indian he will awaken di-
rectly. Mapes, who was lying beside
them, understood this. He therefore COM
menced to move uneasily in his sleep, roll
ing over several times.
With great caution he repeated his roll
ing stratagem until he had got quite dis
tance from the sleepers, when he noiseless-
Iy arose to his feet and hurried directly to
the ponies. Selecting his own, he quickly
drew out his knife and hamstrung the
others. Then he jumped on his horse and
rode for liberty.
Vandenburg was distant but fifteen
miles, and Mapes never drew rein until he
halted in the midst of it. The people
fIocled from all parts of the town 10 get
sight of him, and hear his strange story.
His Apache wife must by this time be
weary of watching for his return, and if
she wishes to see him will have to visit
one of our commercial cities, where, at the
present moment, he is engaged in more
Christian-like occupation than taking
scalps.

Be CareftI Hhat Yoas Say.
by CHARLES CARROLL SANGER.

In speaking of persons faults
Pray don't forget your own;
Remember, those with homes of glass
Should seldom throw a stone;
II we have nothing else to do
But talk of those who sin,
'Tis better we commence ut home,
And from that point begin.
We have no right to judge a man,
Until he's fairly tried;
Should we not like his company,
We know the world is wide;
Some may have faults-and who have not
The old as well as youngj
Perhaps we may, for aught we know,
Have fifty to their ono.
I'll tell You of better plan,
And find 1T works full well
1 try my own defects to cure
Before of others tell
And though I sometimes hope to he
No worse than some I know,
My own shortcomings bid me let
The faults of others go.
Then let us all, when we commence
To slander friend or foe,
Think of the harm one word may do
To those who little know
Remember, curses, sometimes like
Our chickens, "roost at home :"
Don't speak of others faults until
We have none of our own.

THE CLOCK OF TRINITY
CHURCH.

One Of the largest and best tower
clocks in this country is that of Trim
.ity Church, Broadway, New York
1t was made in 1916 by James Rog
ers, and is a splendid specimen Of no
Biological workmanship.
The dials are ten feet in diameter
eacn hour being cut in relief from 6
single block Of stone. The hour hands
are four feet in length, and the min
ute hands about five feet four inches
The clock is forty feet above the di
ais, and the movements OF the hands
work through long tin tubes encased
in oak. There are in the clock tow.
er three large cylinders, carrying
steel and brass cog wheels, the largest
wheels being two feet six inches in
diameter and the smallest being sew,
en- inches. In all there are twenty.
seven wheels, not counting the fric-
ton rollers. The pendulum rod is
made of wood, twenty-one feet long,
and having at the lower extremity
about five feet swing. In this there
is trade secret. Wood shrinks
sideways, while iron, steel, brass and
other metals shrink in all directions.
Therefore wood, we'll seasoned and
waxed, is used for tower clock pendu-
lums- Three weights are used, hung
at the ends Of heavy, seasoned ropes.
The largest is on the hour hand, and
weighs 125 pounds. Bales of cotton
on the lower floor Of the clock tower,
so that if the ropes break the weights
shall not fall into the body Of the
church. By simple trip leverage,
three bells in the chime are connected
with the clock, and thus ring out the
quarter hours, repeating on the last
two quarters. Another lever tolls
the hours. The clock is wound up
once week, taking two hours each
time to raise the heavy weight from
the cotton bale to the top of the
works. To economic labor, patent
winch is used to perform this work.

The latest news seems to di sHredit
the rumors that Mexico, after a COM
paratively long period Of tranquility,
was about to 60 again into the revo-
luton business. Affairs at the CAPT
tai are for once quiet. Instead of
a Congress opposed to the Executive,
it is reported that two-thirds of the
national legislature will support him.
And what is still more gratifying
than the political prospects, the finan-
cial outlook of the country is said to
be brighter than it was. The COM

There is nothing more disheartening than ner.

complaint is presented in its purest aud most DO

with other ailments. 1t frequently involves bill.

spring Of the year, owing to. the effect Of bilious

How CLOVER IMPROVES THE SoIL.-
Prof, Toelcker thus explains the action
of clover in increasing the fertility of
soils "All who are practically ac-
quainted with the subject must have
seen that the best crops of wheat are
produced by being preceded by crops of
clover grown for seed. ! have come to
the conclusion that the very best pre-
paration, the very best manure, is a good
crop of clover. \ X A vast amount
OF mineral manure is brought within
reach of the corn crop which otherwise
would remain in locked-up condition
in the soil. The clover plants take
nitrogen from the atmosphere manufac-
ture it into their own substance, which,
on decomposition of the clover roots
and leaves, produces abundance of am.
monia, In reality, the growing of clover
is equivalent, to great extent, to
manuring with Peruvian guano; and in
this paper Of mine show that you OBJ
tain larger quantity of manure than in
the largest dose of Peruvian guano
which a farmer would ever think of APP
plying. y 1t is only by careful
ly investigating subjects like the one
under consideration that positive proofs
are given showing the correctness of
