fear hard times are dawning for us,
sas the Indians are on the rampage again.
1T was telegraphed to Davis yesterday,
from Fert Quitman, that the Indians had
killed the stage driver and some mules in
sQuitman canyon, which is nine miles this
side of 'Quitman and about 135 or 145
miles west of us. They cut every pound
of flesh from the bones of the mules, and
l guess they will revel in mule steak for
a few days. There are no United States
troops or Rangers between this point and
Ysleta. The worst of the trouble is that
the U. S troops will do nothing, and we
s0annOt, from the simple fact that we are
ttoo weak for the scope and character of
country assigned us. Respectfully,

The July Wide Awake is well calcu-
lated 10 make the boys and girls inpatient
for vacatiOn-time; and the boys especially
will pronounce the Frontispiece by Miller
and Hayden, "a Summer Day." almost
as good as a day in the country itself.
They will also admire the spirited story
of "The Academy Boat Race" by Mary
Densel, and will sympathize with the
young hero Of Mr. Stewards capital story
of sWhat Made Sam Sick The girls
will find many womanly hints in Mrs.
Christine Chaplin Brush's Story of a
Horseshoe" paul and the Comb
makers" by James L. Bowen, with its
five fine illustrations will interest all
curious readers, while "Mr. Littleiohn s
Animals" " by Amanda B. Harris, is de-
hghtful reading for those who are in
terested in the tanning of wild creatures.
Rev. Edward Everett Hale, in his seventh
"To- Day" article interests both boys and
girls in the lessons of Lord Beaconsfield's s
career. "Sharon" continues the fortunes
of DIR. Garde's Little Girl, and "Having
His Own Way" gives the further history
of the two Honor Brights. Mrs. Diaz s
"Polly Cologne" is, of course delightful
old and young, nursery children and
grave divines, with equal zest follow the
adventures of that lost baby.
But the seasonable attraction of the
number, of course, is the children s
Operetta of Dragon-hy Day. We predict
great popularity for it at summer re-
sorts, as the music is simple and the
scenery and costumes practicable any
where. Several fine illustrated poems
complete the number. Wide Awake is
only $2.00 a year. 90 cents a number.

The name Gypsies is corruption of
the word Egyptians, and it has been
supposed that the Gypsies originated
in Egypt. But the conflict of authori-
ties is SO great with regard to their or
igin that it is now extensively believed
that nothing absolutely authentic is
known on the subject. In the year
1927 band l20 strangers arrived in
Paris, who claimed to be Christians of
Lower Egypt who had been expelled
by the Saracens. They said they had
last come from Bohemia. They pro-
fessed the gifts of fortune telling and
other necromatlc arts, and they were
great thieves. They were expelled
from Paris, but continued to wander
in France. Other bands succeeded
them, and IN the course of century
they appeared in Spain, England,
Sweden and other countries Of Europe.
They were what are now known as
Gypsies. They are usually great
thieves, and have but few redeeming
traits They are fond Of stealing
children and bringing them up as
Gypsies, and also take persons into
their tribes who are willing to adopt
their mode of life.

The quarterly meeting Of the Board OF
Managers of the Maine Industrial School for
Giris was held at the ONCE of the institution
on Wednesday last. Seven of the lady visit
ors we're also present. BY invitation of the
board, and conferred tseether with reference
to the general interests of the school. A de-
tailed report was made by the treasurer and
manager for the board, from which it was
found that the past quarter had been one Of
average prosperity, and that the girls were
geBerally deserving of praise for their
endeavors to maintain a correct deport-
ment, and readiness IN yield TO wholesome
regulations and restraints. The school
is continually filed to its utmost capacity for
accommodations and there are constant ap-
plications for admission that must await va
cancies before thev can be granted. There
are now thirty-seven in the school
seven more than the building was originally
intended to accommodate. The need of a
new building is severely felt. aud il i to he
hoped that the example of a benevolent lady
who recently donated one thousand dollars To
the building fund. will he followed BY other
phianthropists. until the desired amount
shall be obtained for enlarging the ac
Communications of this most beneficial
institution Since the Inauguration OF the
school one hundred and twenty five girls have
been received. Abont forty have been linden
tured in good families, while Others have
homes where they are well cared for and re-
ceive fair compensation for their services
Had it not been for the generous efforts and
sacrifices of those who were Instrumental ia
founding this institution. and the aid fur
ni.hed by the State TO help carry forward the
work of rescuing girls in danger of falling
into habits of vice and crime. there is every
reason to believe that large number of
these girls who are now in happy homes
with every promise of becoming respect
able and useful members OF society. would
now be pursuing the downward road. with no
promising future before them or hope of re-
formation.
