This was far from the conclusion Al
which the learned doctors had arrived
while In the orchard; but the opinions
OF the most learned men are subject
TO change They had made some new
discoveries a. TO the patients condi-
tlon-revealed by the events OF the
fre-which had literally thrown new
light on their Investigations.
Il should think you'd DO ashamed
TO talk TO q dyin' woman like thatr'
said Mrs Mol. rising from her bed
and pointing her finger scornfully be-
tween the rails OF the fence toward the
departing doctors.
| The household goods were carried
into small but quite comfortable old
house across the road, In which the
Molls had lived before building the
house that had burned. Tho neigh
bors lent their assistance in arranging
the furniture, and by night Mr.. and
Mrs. Moll found themselves comfort
ably installed in their old home. with
most Of their effects around them.
Then Aunt 'Cindy went out to the
barn where Mr.. Mol was feeding his
horses and said:
''See here. Pliny; I'm goin' home.
! amt goin' to stay here any longer
doing for woman that's as well as
am. il she'd only think so. I'm a be-
lever in the mind cure for Becky; for
II she only thought she was well she

i've seen her do some queer things
for a dyin' woman OF late." Aunt
Cindy went on. emphatically. II
caught her in the pantry eatin' pie and
cold beef one day last week. and when
! told her the other day that Mandy
Peek was goin' by with a new dress
and hat on. she run to the window to
see; and that. and what's happened
to-day, has made me think / amt
needed here. and I'm goin'."
| In fifteen minutes she was gone, and
Mr.. Moll sat for the next half hour on
the barn floor with his back against a
grain bag. chewing the end Of straw
and medltating. AT last he rose and
went into the house and into the bed
room in which Mrs. Moll was lying.
Becky" he said. in a strange but
decided tone. ''Aunt 'Cindy's gone, and
reckon II you want any supper to-
night you'll have 10 git up and git it.
I'm goin' out 70 milk the cows now.
and l wish you'd have some flannel
cakes for supper when come in"
There was a hidden degree OF firm
ness in mild-mannered little Mr.. Moll's
character not often revealed to others,
but Mrs. Moll knew OF its existence.
When she heard Pliny speak now she
knew that he meant all he said. She
herself was very hungry after her ex-
ertions at the fire. and Pliny found
her frying eggs and cakes and max
ing an appetizing cup OF coffee when
he .ame in with his pail OF foamy
milk. That was the last Of her '.in-
durable malady," and the last Of many
Of her other diseases. She died OF old
age twenty-five years later. -

TIGHT GAMBLING LAW.

Mr.. Spears bill to prohibit gambling,
confidence games, ETC., passed the house
to-day. This is measure to prohibit all
gambling devices, three card monte or
any other confidence game, providing a
heavy penalty for the punishment of
parties who even rent or lease buildings
for gambling rooms furnishing all people
who attempt to gamble or assist others in
so doing, and authorizing railroad con-
ductors and brakemen to arrest any
monte player or bunco steerer caught OPP
Grating on train or about depots. 1t al
so prohibits houses of ill repute and pro-
vides heavy penalties not only for parties
running such places, but also for persons
who rent their property for such purposes.

GRAND DAYS WORK.
The New Public School Law Passed
by the House this
Morning.
Joint Meeting of Educational Committees
New Election BiIl-Prohibit-
Ing Gambling.

In the senate to-day, among other
things, resolution was adopted author
izing joint meeting OF the senate and
house committees on educational affairs,
for the purpose of considering the public
school bill. In the house the school bill
was taken up and passed, and when the
noon recess was taken there was sup
pressed shout over it in nearly every
body's throat. 1t was refreshing to see
the rush of members and spectators to
offer their congratulations to those who
had led in the good work. Some thirteen
amendments, corrections, etc, not affect
ing the measure in the main, yet neces-
sary, were approved by the house, and
the bill goes to the senate in very good
shape. The house also created general
surprise to-day by passing law prohibit
Ing all games Of chance, confidence games
etc. Full proceedings are appended:

CAPITOL CRUMBS.

The third house has had several spirited
meetings Of late.
There was fat mans race up the
winding stairs at the capitol this morning,
and Hon. M. S. Perea came off victor.
Hon. NJ. Cooney returned from Socorro
county last night and jumped into bust
ness to-day with his usual vim and vigor.
Reading Clerk Hubbell is doing the in
terpreter's service to-day, Pinto Pine
being sick. Mr.. Hubbell is a handy man
to have around.
There is great accumulation of work
on the house table. Nearly 100 bills are
there awaiting action, nine-tenths of them
of house origination.
Mr.. Sanchez waste basket" speech
has become by-word in the house. Mr..
Sanchez is better speaker than story
teller; eh, Mr.. Sniffen?
Mr.. Franks bill for the relief of
sherifis or deputies wounded in the dis
charge of their duties went through the
senate in good shape to-day.
1t was just fun to see the members of
the house flock over and congratulate Mr..
Sanchez over his manly stand in behalf
Of free non-sectarian schools. He's a
noble old Roman, he is!
The existing municipal corporation act
will be either very excellent one or a
very poor one, when the pending bills to
amend are pushed through. There's no
question but that the law requires plenty
OF overhauling.
Mr.. Kistler, who introduced the school
bill, Mr.. Foster, chairman of the commit
tee, and in fact, more than two-thirds Of
the members, particularly those native
born, were all heartily congratulated when
the school law was passed to-day.
Mr.. Jaramillo's bill relating to water
rights has for its objects the lawful recog-
milton of the time honored riparian rrivi-
leees. That is, first come, first served
the first settled land to have the use Of
water when it comes to scarcity, as
against the newer settled districts along a
ditch.
A member said to-day that the council
bill asking for an appropriation mot to
exceed $40, 900" for the purpose of con-
structing a territorial insane asylum at
Las Vegas, reminded him of what San
Miguel county member said when Mr..
Cooney's precinct county Jail bill was I'M
der nsideration-"wl kind of coun-
ty jail can you build for $500? "What
kind of an insane asylum can you build
for $10,000?" exclaimed the member.
