the borrow you don't find it so good.
Finally he did strike the familiar
trail leading down to the old home,
and while crossing some open lots
the old man, as the book says it,
saw him a-cOming afar off. Yes,
that ole mans eyes were very dim,
but he did not fail to spot the boy
afar off.
And what dye suppose that prod's
father did? Did he whistle the
dogs up to chase him off the ranch :?
You bet he didn't. Did he 90 and
take down his shotgun and wait
till he got good drop eli him? You
bet he didn't. No, but I'll tell you
what he did. He Just waltzed right
out of the gate to meet him, and
froZe to that poor scarecrow right
on the spot. and fell to kissing of
him and weeping over him and
calling him his poor, long-lost boy,
until the prod got broke all up and
like a sluice dam when the snow
comes down off Pixies Peak under a
July sun. The old man then took
him right away to a clothing store
and rugged him out in the nobbiest
suit to be had for coin, and put an
elegant ring on his finger, ordered
the latest steer on the ranch to be
slaughtered, invited all the neigh
bors in, and had the biggest blows
out that camp had ever seen.
Now it appears the prod's elder
brother was OUT at work with the
teams, and when he came in he
asked some of the help what was
the meaning OF the picnic they were
having inside, and WREN he was
told the reason he just got real mad.
The old man hearing of this went
out to him, and said: Come in, lad !;
your brothers come back, and we're
having a regular old-fashi0ned jul
bilee; now you come right along,
like good fellow, and share in the
breakdown But the brother
wouldn't bulge, and said: Look
here, dad, l have stuck to the ranch,
and have never tranSgressed your
orders, but it never struck you to
have a picnic of this kind until you
give it in honor of q loafef who has
disgraced our NAME But, my
friends, you make your bets on it
that the old man had a level head,
and want to he bluffed. He says:
My son, you say you have never
transgressed my orders =? but are you
quite sure that's so. / tell you that
you have grievOusly transgressed
my commandments now by your
unbrotherly behavior. Learn that
1 am not pleased by services Ofmere
form, if the heart is not In accord.
You may count that your service is
according to the letter of the law,
but tell you it don't illsthe bushel
worth a cent so far as the spirit
is concerned. The spirit you are
showing, my lad, leads to narrow
mindedness, to bigotry, to intoler-
ance, and to foOling around and to
burning folks because they don't
fix up their formal Observances just
exactly as you have arranged and as
you assert must be right.I And now,
friends, it is to the credit Of the
brother that he took his old fathers
square talk in good part, and you
bet that old man was a real thor
oughbred-and don't you forget it.

tHErs IS Eo greater power for the so.l nt a new country than the news paper that faithfully writes up it's re- sources. The information thus scattered abroad is like good seed sown in rich -a.. which eventually bears an abundant harvest. Southern California IS an e1- @ lent illustration to the point. Fifteen years ago It was regarded by people abroad a- a country too dry for agricul- ture. 4 few thought it might be pro- litabie for stock raising.
 Irrigation was an art unknown among those who depended on the tickle heavens for moisture for their crops. It was not known Low to save the waters of the sunken rivers or tunnel the hills for fresh supplies. Now every bit of water III the small streams is used to spread out upon ground hitherto sup posed to be unproductive, but which under the magical influence of water produces such psradises as Riverside, Nesuon, Pasadena, Anabeim, Santa Ana and a hundred other similar localities.
 It was found by tuuneliug the noun tains that waier could be easier obtained and n greater quantities than by digging wells. Submerged dams of concrete were built down to the bed rock across rivers and more than enough water was secured for all the grain and fruit crops.
 When these facts were heralded abroad by the press g mighty immigra- ton vas produced, and one county (Los Angeles now has population of over 5000. Land that could be pre-empted at 9 cents per acre there fifteen years ago under the desert act now sells for $50 Der acre without an improvement.
 The same thing Is HOW being done for Arizona. and will eventually produce the same happy results. Passengers hurried through ths Territory on the cars see only few Rlksli flats, some bar reu stretches of s9nG, with rocky noun tains ornHmented only by cactus. They overlook the fertile valleys of Sulphur Springs, San Pedro, Santa Cruz. Pap ago. Gila, Salt aud Verde. They don't know tbat the soil Is just Es rich m Ari- zona as in Southern California, and that We are behind only few years in the matter of irrigation. and that when We catch up in this, and disseminate 8 l knowledge of these facts abroad, our country will rapidly fill up, as Southern ! California is doing to-day.
 When We get irrigating ditches, tun- nels and submerged dams, and have the
 water spread out on the ground, 1t will not be long till the world will hear from ] the State of Arlzona. In this work the local press will be the mightiest magnet
 in drawing people hither. People will read, believe and come.
 l l. Is so with Gll countries. The com pletiou of the national railroads into Mexico will have the same effect as in ! Arizona sud California. A country that 1 Is rich in natural resources will not re-
 main long uuoccupied by an enterpris' 1 ing people. The railroads make it easy
 of access. The newspapers advertise its resources. The people come and de. | velop them.

Ainsnorth Rand Spofnrd.

Ainsworth Rand SpotiOrd has been IT, brarIan of Congress for about twenty years. and during that time his name has become familiar to all Americans. He was born at GIlmantOn, New Hamp- shire, on the 12th Cf September. 1895. His father was a clergy nan, who en- plOyed a private instructor under whom his son AlnswOrth received the greater part of hIs educatlOn. When l6 years of age he went to Cincinnati and en- gagged in the bOOkselling and publishing business, in which be met with good success and acquired the great familiar ity with books and authors for which he has become distinguished in his present position. In 1859 be became associate editor of the Daily Commercial, in Cin- cinnRti. He was appointed First Assist ant Librarian In 1851, and four years later he became Librarian in Chief. Under him the library has grown from some 9O,U0O volumes to its present mag nitude. The law ol copyright has also been amended, through which the busi- ness of recording and authcnticatiug copyright is transacted by the Librarian of Congress. It was formerly done by the district courts of each state.

This gift has enabled nm tO acquire a wonderfully familiar acquaintance with the mass of books under hls care.

4 REMARKABLE CASE.
How a Man With His Jugular Vein Cut Had Hi, Life saved by a Mount
 ain Doctor.

"I see" said an old storm-tossed and
 weather-bea.en tramp in a Jefferson | street saloon yesterday afternoon, as he
 laid down the Commercial, ''that a story | IS going the rounds about Polish Jew
 having his throat cut one time from ear
 to ear and then being hung up by an
 angry mob and left to die, but 1t seems | he did not dle, for he IS now living in Buffalo. The story goes on to say that | the windpipe was completely severed
 but that the iugulsr vein escaped in- | jury, and thus the mans life was saved.
 The papers speak of him as a physlolo- glcal wonder who puzzles the medical schools" Pshawl these fellows as have never heard of any remarkable occur rences make me sick. l remsmber a wonderful case as came under my per sonal observation when l wuZ 'travelin' in east Tennessee. I struck one of them little mountain towns one time when they wuz holding county court. Every man had a bottle of mOonshiae, and they wuz all feelin' mighty happy. Finally they got leetle bit too hilarious, and a fight sprung up betwixt Q great big duffer and leetle bit of a wiry feller. The big dutfer could @ eat the lee.le feller up, clothes and all, but the first thing he done was to pull one of these old pOt-metal knives and jab the blade into the leetle feller's neck. It went in right alongside the jugular, and then 1t tent kinder around and un- der it. When the big feller went to pull 1t out he ripr ed the leetle feller's jugular right square in two, and you Oughter seed the blood fly. It squirted about twenty-five feet. As the leetle feller dropped, everybody in the crowd cried, oh, he's U goner; his iugular veins cut, and they expected to see him croak in- side of three seconds, but there was one of them mountain doctors there. and to look at him you'd think he didn't know a jugular vein from a trombone. Stand l back said he, give me a chance at him. and he elbo wed his way through the l crowd to where the leetle feller lay | breathin' his last. He pulled out of his | pocket sOmethin' as looked like 6 | crooked darnin' needle, and then he l fished around in the wound until l he caught hold of both ends of | the jugular vein and pulled 'em out. | Then he tied the ends tight with piece | of thread to keep the blood from l squirtin' out until an old feller in the | crowd whittled down a pipe stem to | make it fit m the iugulsr. When it was shaved down small enough the old doc tor inserted the pipe stem and tied the ends of the vain around it. In less than two minutes that little feller was on his feet and looking around for the feller that cut hIm."
 You mean to say he recovered?"
 Course he did, and you'll find the case recorded ID the medical works. Only case of the kind ever heard of in America
 And the pipe stem never bothered him?"
 "No, only it made him sick at the stomch at first. The stem was a good deal stronger than the kind be had been used to handlin, and il made him q lee tle but dizzy for few days."-Louisville Commercial

A Worthy Promotion.

The recent appointment of Mir. D. B. Robinson as general manager Of the en- tire Mexican Central railway system, makes the following facts of interest to many people in this locality:
 Mir. Robinson commenced his railroad career on the Central Vermont railroad, where he worked for several yeRrs ID the freight department at this point. In 1869 he went to Sacramento, California, the then headquarters of the Central Pacific railway, as chef clerk of the mechanical department of that com pany, with whom he remsined until No vember, 1870, when he left tbe service of that line and entered that of the New Orleans and Mobile railroad. Shortly after his connection with this road he was appointed master of transportation, then assistant superintendent, and finally general superintendent. In the spring of 1880 Mir. Robinson accepted the sp- pOintment of general manager of the Sonora railway in Mexico, then being built from Guaymas to NOgales. which has since become a portion of the Atch- isOn, Topeka and Santa Fe railway sys- tenn. After the completion of this road the managers, who had already been granted 6 concession from the Mexi- can government to build an air line from PasO ieI Norte to the city of Mexico, distance l,250 miles, with branches extending from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific ocean, making in all 2,OO0 mIles--fully recognizing Mir. RobInson's rare abilities, offered him the general suPerintendency ot the northern division ofthe Mexican Central railway, which he accepted and entered upon the duties in the month of October. 1882. The road had already been built from Paso del NOrte, Mexico, to Chlhua- hua, and from the city of Mexico to SaliO. Under Mir. RobInsOn's supervi- sion the northern division was rapidly constructed from Chihuahua to Villa Lerdo, and It was his intention to push the line as far as FresnillO, a distance of Al miles from Paso del NOrte, and there await connection with the main line. Now, however, that his head quarters have been changed tO the city of Mexico, where he will assume charge of the entire line. a change will doubt | less be made in the point of connection; {; but it is expected the nam line will be completed by the first of April, 1SS4.- St. Alban's Weekly Messenger and Ad- vertiser.
 Mir. Robinson became well known and popular in Arizona during bis efficient management of the Sonora limited rail wav

\ WAR CLOUD IN NEVADA.
Threatened Rising of Indians in Mason VaIiey-Arm- sent tn the SettIers.

Assistant Adjutant-Ganeral H. G.
 Parker left Carson the early part oI this
 week with erI.s and amunitlOn for Ma son Valley, where the Indians are as-
 suming a very defiant and varlike atti- tude against the whites. It appears that a number of squaws have died suddenly and under very suspicious circumstances. The Indians accuse the Misner family of having poisoned them The squaws who died had been en- ployed at Misner's ranch, but those who know tue family declare they are above suspicion. In a letter to Governor Adams, Heck Mason states that he considers the situation very serious and thinks the MisnCr family in great dan ger. Nels Hammond, superintendent at the Walker Lake reservation, writes that the Indians are gathering for a consultation, and that they appear to be greatly excited. He has warned the whites of Mason valley to be on the lookout. Senator J. B. Gallagher and almost every citizen in Mason valley signed the petition to Governor Adams for arms and ammunition. The gov ernOr's instructions to General Parker are that he shall investigate the matter, and if he finds that the circumstances require such action, he shall turn the arms over to Smith and Brand at l'izen Switch, to be used by the settlers. 9th erwise, they are to be returned to the seat of government.
