DiscoUraging to Story Writers.

| caught a glimpse in one of the BIG
iron safes belonging to weekly story
paper the other day, and found its
roomy compartments filled to over
flowing with manuscripts of all shades,
colors, and sizes. The most OF them
were yellow with age, and l was as
sured by my friend, the proprietor,
that not few of the stories had lain
within the iron walls OF the tireproof
receptacle for over thirty years. Every
thing represented so much cash invest
ed, from the three verse poem of unre-
jected love, to the thirty column serial
of blood and thunder. 1t is not likely
that many of the old manuscripts will
ever be used, as they are very much
out of date as regard to stvle and plot.
There were hundreds of stories which
tell ''how they lived happily ever after
ward and rs far as Indian romances
are concerned, there was a quarter Sec
ton of the safe devoted to the subject
I'll wager there is many a good little
gem stored away there, and it will be
many years-perhapS another genera
tiOn-before the poem and rOmances
are put in type. | find that the ma
jority of the weekly story papers that
have been established any very great
length of time always carry more or
less stock Of manuscript on hand, and
there are at least half a dozen of these
papers in New York could publish week
in and week out for years to come,
without even so much as thinking of
looking for new material -NeU York

Grant and Wilkic Collins.

The death of Wilkie Collins brings
to the surface a little incident of his
visit to Washington during Grants oc-
cupancy Of the White House Mr..
Roessle, the proprietor of the Airing
ton Hotel, where Collins was stopping,
had arranged for his distinguished
guest to visit the President IN bet
YOU" he said to a friend, that Grant
has never read one of Collins stories.n
'I'll bet YOU bottle of wine he has,''
was the prompt reply of the gentle
man, who was a great admirer of
Grant.
'Wel, I'm so confident of it that III
make it a basket instead of a bottle.n
was the reply of Roessle, aud the wager
was laid.
1t was easier, however. to make the
bet than to discover anv way of learn
ing from Grant TIE facts they wanted,
Tor 1t would 1f course never do to ask
nm tae question whether he had read
Mr. collins works. The President,
'.owever, lifted them over this difficult
point by saying, as he grasped the hand
| of Mr.. Collins, Il am very glad TO see
you, Mr.. Collins; | have read all your
works with great pleasure, and permit
me to say that think No Name the
best of them all" Roessle and his
friend could not refrain from exchange
ing glances at the easy solution of the
problem that puzzled them. and the
basket of wine came promptly forth
| from the cellars of the Arlington when
the party returned. Curionsly enough,
it turned out that Collins himself had
the same opinion himself which Grant
expressed regarding the relative value
of his Chicago Journal.

Electricity in Red Hair.

Red-headed girls are dangerous in
more ways than one. as appears from
this item in the Philadelphia Record:
"A young lady with a peachy complex
into Gaylord's barber-shop in Wilkes
barre yesterday, and let her tresses
flow to have them curled. The barber
wove the mass Of hair around the hot
iron and staggered back as if he had
been shot. The lady's hair was full of
electricity, and the muscles of his arm
were sore for an hour"

PlaiL History.

Switt's Specific is a simple vegetable
compound prepared from roots gathered
freshly from the forest, and contains moth
ing of the mineral kingdom, or any pol
sonous substance, or any article at all
which comes from the chemists labratory
The formula of the remedy was obtain
ed from the Creek Indians in Middle
Georgia, by reliable white men, who bad
witnessed the wonderful cures made. Dir.
Hugh L. Dennard, OF Houston county,
Georgia, began using Swiit's Specific in
1929, and continued Its use all of his life,
and asserted that be had never known il to
fail to cure any case of scrofula, blood
faint, or contagious blood poison. This
testimony has been corroborated every day
for years. The present company was
formed in 1879, and have SINCE made
known to the world.the vlrtups of Swiit's
Specific, and to-day 1t is sold in every city,
town and country store all over America.

ago. If so be should be sufficiently disci-
plined TO render him less annoying to

Lupe is likely 10 lead to disasterious re-
sul.s.
From the Associated Press.
Los ANeLRs, May 6.-The report which
has been circulated during the last few
days regarding the Apache outbreak in
Arizona is regarded at headquarters of the
department of Arizona in this city as a
mere fabrication. Col. Grierson, com
handing the department, states that be
had not been advised OF any trouble.
Western liberal. (Lordsburg, N.M.) 1887-1919, 1889-05-10

II is well understood that the army Of
icers always consider news of the killing
Of a white man NY an Indian a fabrication .
If they considered it true they would have
to get out and hunt for Mr.. Indian hll
they found him. 1t is much easier to sit
in an arm chair in Los Angeles and say
that Sheriff Whitehall is a liar than it is
to chase Apaches over the mountains, es-
p~ecially DIS the pay goes on just the same.
Perhaps If the Indian who shot Frank
Cady at Deer creek had made an affidavit
to the effect that he was off the reserva-
ton and had just shot a man, and the af-
fdavit bad been witnessed by all of hi
comrades and properly sttested before d
notary public, Col. Grierson might, upon
receipt of the affidavit, admit that a
"bueno Apache had strayed across the
reservation line while hunting for his
horse.

RAHANT,

II AAaAahua
From tho Tucson Citizen.
About a week ago it was reported TO us
that Lupe's band of White Mountain
A%paches, from Fort Apache, numbering
about seventy men, women and children
had made THAR appearance at Pringer's
ranch. on Cherry creek, about % miles
north Of Globe, and having evidence OF
having had an extended drunk which was
continued through the night after their ar
rival. and while in that condition they
claimed the ranch, took possession, enter
ed an enclosure, and commenced planting.
Subsequently a part Of the same baud, or
other Indians. took possession of Harmon
and Middleton's ranch on Coon creek, 10
the neighborhood Pringle's ranch, which
VA at once reported to the propretors,
who we're NOT living on the ranch but were
represented by an ~employe, Steps were
in progress on Thursday last to recover
possession, bat doubtless, the movement
of the owners OF those ranches had been
anticipated by cavalry from Fort Apache
who had then been on the march three
days 70 the place where their services were
required.
The Indians were not hostile. Their
presence on Cherry aud Coon creeks is ac-
counted for upon the supposition that the
locality where those ranches are situated

For several days prior to the 6rst o

all Of the little ones rehearsing fcr The
purpose Of celebrating Mayday. Their eff.

their part most capaJly. After the May.
pole a tug Of war was instituted, the lit
tie chaps, both boys and girls, participat-
ing, and IN order not to let one side walk
off with all the honors the colonel did a
little cheating by way Of giving what he
supposed was the weak side a long and
strong pull. OF curse that divided the
honors between the contestants and every
one was pleased. AT the conclusion OF
the Maypole dance Esther Abrahams re-
cited a poem which was answered by Lucy
Sias, both of the illusions being a%ppropri-
ate to the occasion, and Lucy then crown
ID her little friend, Esther, Queen OF the
May. Dancing wal then invoked by the
old folks, the young participating also.
Everything was going on swimmingly
when your correspondent, who was in the
select corner Of the seventh heaven Of a
dreamy waltz, cavorting in the delights
incident thereto, and, by the way, he was
ambitious-some call il cUnceit-to show
himself of as a terpischorean artist,
when be fell, and Oh, what a fall was
there, my co%untrymen. 1t was true he
did not burst the crystal Of his watch,
nor did be faint. He simply felt as though
be could crawl through the eye Of the
traditional needle, when the solemn 81
lence (such as is sure to follow such an in
cident) fell on the merry throng. 1t was
the hush, as it were, that made him feel
so dlminutive. If everybody had ha-haed,
gutfHhed or reared from side splitting ag-
ony bis fall from the pinnacle of ecstacy
would have been amply compensated tor.
Among the ladies present were Mesdames
