TIE Star seems to think thTt the tes- timany Of the hanged murderers IS con- elusive as 10 the innocence f He.th. ge have the same testimony to prove the innocence of tho men who were legally hanged. Thy died solemnly protesting their own innocence of ihe terrible crime of which tbey had been duly convicted If snch evidence is to be taken to prove that Heith's hanging was mob murder why does it not prove that five legal murders were committed yesterday? That is the logical sequence of the Star reasoning. Lynching is to be depre- cated on general principles, as showing q belief in the community that the law and its methods is inadequate in certaln emergencies. There Is no evidence to show thar an innocent man was the VIC tim in the late Tombstone lynchlne' However, this is not the first time the Star has posed as the defender and apol- oyist of Cochise county outlaws.

"On the Road" by a Tramp.

A norheriy wind and q sky of gray,
And road all covered with snow today
a biting blast from the northern sky, that
jeers and sneers as make our way.
Along the hedge, now leatieSS and brown,
Shiv'ring beneath cod winters frown,
In tatters and rags and solel less shoes, trudg-
ing along o the distant town.
Shelter and warmth We trampS have none,
And heat don't ccme from the winter S sun,
The little birGs 1wittcr and quickly fly, and
the foxes and vessels away from US run.
Nobody stops to ask after our health,
As we creep alorg just as if by stealth,
whore we envy the bright happy homes
Ct wealth..
Silently have we to bear our load,
Impe cl by pOVerty's merciless gOad,
HOPELESS ard homeless, and lOyclcSs, too, wan
derers Cy II, we're ION the Road"
Winter and Summer Autumn and Spring.
The same SAD song we have TO sing,
Now reath hCdgcruw, now in wood, and
often The Ork house bell we ring.
Forward, aye, rwGrl, never at rest,
Never by soft hands of love caressed,
Onward, aye, onward, together, a.One, by
penury curs'd, by charity best,
Rag2e and dirty, careless, fOriOrn,
Dismissed from each door with pit1Iess
scorn,
Vagabonds, outcasts, the road is our home,
the long, long read, with cur fCotmarks
worn.
So silently must bear our load,
lmpellcd by pOvcrtys mcrciless gOad,
Hopeless and hOmC less, and .lOveless, too,
wanderers ever, we're ION the Road.

He Twisted Her Tail.

1t was COW with mild brown ewes,
auburn bangs and a tail with love-
lock on the end that switched the air
and knocked imaginary flies into the
hereafter with snap. She was being
led down West street towards the
Cortland street ferry by q ferocious-
looking Jerseyman, whose complexion,
owing to the cold weather and hot
whisky, was red as meteOric sunset.
Suddenly, with what was apparently
unnecessary cruelty, the Jerseyman
struck the cow across the flank with
club, swung his arms over his head,
danced maddening double-shufle in
the street, and sat down with strange
rapidity upon a car-rail. The cow
looked over her shoulder reprovingly
and stood in her tracks. The Jersey
man arose from the impression he had
made in the Ice, smootned his cOat-tails
careSsingly, and started towards the
COW. He raped her once, spat on his
hands, raped her twice, put his Shout
der against her sIde-all to move her
out of the track of the drays-but to no
avail. A crowd assembled. The Jer-
seyman got lots of sympathy, but no
assistance. One man suggested that
she had frozen fast; another that she
was undecided about the policy of the
new board of aldermen; a third that
she was one of H. O. rs unbalanced
bids and was afraid of JERSEY Justice.
The owner went a few yards ahead,
grinned a CHASTITY grin, and shaking
his club behind him in q suppressed
fury, pleaded in q persuasive tone:
Come, Mooley; come, Mooley, Mooley."
But Mooley saw the club.
At last from the crowd stepped
lank and unshaven specimen a long
shoreman. He was gifted with wis
dom beyond his kind. He drew the
owner of the cow aside and whispered
in his ear, Twist her tail" The Jer-
seyman shook his head. Then, as
though bidding for the support of the
multitude, the 'longshoreRan raised
his arm, and making sweeping ges-
ture, exclaimed:
Gents, | say twist her tail"
Twist it yerself, was the answer.
A glance of scorn upon the crowd,
and the 'longshoreman barred his
brawny arm and stepped up to the COW.
He took the love-lock in his hand, run
his fingers through it and clinched
them, grasped the middle Of the tail
in his left hand, and tried to tie knot.
An agonizing silence, which was broken
by a groan and dotted with a broad
brimmed hat, pair of suspenders, and
the arms and legs of a 'longshoreman
doing calisthenics in the frosty air.
The battered remains of the 'longshore-
man were carried away muttering bias
phemy. The cow, after she had re-
placed her hind boots on the ground,
was led on to the ferry by the Jersey
man. who observed as he paid his fare

! er, as at that moment the door opened
and swarthy, yellow-skinned man
evidently with Jewish blood in his
veins. entered the room. He looked
Iinquiringly at the two ladies. Mrs.
Valery reused herself; she advanced
toward him, and without holding ont
her hand, asked him in Rus sian if he
was Count So-and-oo. He said ives y
and Mrs. Valery moved away few
PAGES to speak to him more at her ease.
But she found it more difficult to re-
enact the warm welcome which had
been wrongly given. She was shaken
and unnerVed, too, by Lady Lynx's face
and words.
"What does this mean?" asked Sir
George, in low voice, of his wife.
How can tell?" she asked. ..You
know better than L do. This is some
further development of the farce. I
suppose. [ am going home; you need
not trouble yourself to accompany
me-
And she turned away, but he caught
her arm.
Look here, Kate" he said, ''this
must be explained. What are you talk

lady, but [ DON'T

"What else can l imagine?'
"What grounds have you for imag-
ming it?''

Sir George laughed. ''Deuced affec-

"Why didn't you say what time you

mot meet her, | assure you. Who
is she?'
Crank Valery's wife
Then take me over, and introduce
me to her and apologize. And another
time don't choose lady to insult when
you are jealous"
Lady Lynx stood irresolute. She
knew Sir George was in the right and
she felt he was speaking the truth.
And as she looked at Mrs. Valery and
the Russian as they stood talking to-
gether she saw that she had made a
mistake amateur detectives are apt to
fall into. She had too readily con-
Guided that Mrs. Valery was telling q
made-up story. She saw that there
was nothing to be done but apologize.
But she could not bring herself to do it.
At that moment Mrs. Valery turned
round, and meeting Lady Lynx's look
of mingled emotions, she smiled. Her
sense of humor had come uppermost.
After all she could afford to forgive
Lady Lynx; her enemy was so very
plain.
You must both come and dine with
u.s." she said by way of answer.
Frank will be delighted to see Sir
George; | know they are old friends.
You must-the count is coming"
Sir George made haste to accept this
invitation. After dinner Mrs. Valery
told the story of the scheme in the cot
fee room, making but one change in it
she left out Lady Lynx unfortunate
speech. Everybody laughed, even Lady
Lynx herself.
And so Mrs. Valery disarmed a bit
ter enemy and made new ally For
Sir George became one of her faithful
admirers and Lady Lynx had to put up
with it, whether she liked it or not.

There is systematic mining for gems
in the United States only in Paris, Me-,
and Stony Point, n. Y, but precious
stones are found elsewhere. a large
diamond was found in Manchester. the
principal suburb of Richmond, Va,
whose estimated value before cutting
was $4,000. Sapphires and rubies are
found in Mexico, Arizona, and south
ern Colorado, and garnets and rubies
also are found in this region. Moss
agates are frequent in the United
States, but the cutting is done abroad.
