vso Aaoso o,txens of Apache
 County killea.

An associated press telegram from Socorro. New Asxico. dated May 9,h, gives an account of the killing of two citizens of Apache for horse stealing. A brother of Charles Rudd, one of the killed, is now fugitive from the county, having killed . sheep herder named McGraw, some time since, mak- ing his escape. The telegram says:
 Particulars have just been learned here of the killing of two horse thieves, George Powell and Charles Rudd, at . place on the plains few miles east of here. The parties, about two weeks ago, stole four fine horses from Nor mons living near Springerville, Apache county, 4. IT,, and were pursued by five men, who overlook them, and in . lively encounter the thieves were killed and the horses recovered.
 About two years ago Powell gave evi. dence against one of the notorious Clantou outlaws which was the means of sending Clsnton to the Yuma peni- tentisry for ten years. After two years Clanton was psrdoned by the governor, and returned, and Powell was leaving the country to escape the vengeance of ClantOn.
 Charles Rudd was . son of Judge William Rudd, formerly county judge of Apache county. This was Rudd's first criminal act, but Powell was an old offender. They were headed for Texas and had travelled 2o0 miles when over taken.

Cousin John came to visit the Porter
family. He stayed a week, and the
result was that every member of the
family, from grandpa down to the
school-boy, Bob, was convinced of his
or her own inherent, deep-seated sill
ness.
Yet Cousin John vas neither a schol-
lar nor M author to make them asham.
ed by contrast. He was not a brilliant
nor q profound talker, but n quiet,
thoughtful man of ordinary informa-
ton and abilities.
But Cousin John was deaf: so deaf
that no eur trumpet or any other inven-
ton could help him to hear a single
sound. Hence he carried on conversa-
ton by means of tablets on which his
companion wrote while lie spoke.
1t was these tablets which convicted
the Porter family Of %foolishness.
II was going" said grandpa, ITO tell
John the story of how 1 once came to
be elected postmaster, but when I took
the pencil in hand / remembered.I had
written it for him twice since yester.
day. You don't mean to tell me that
I am given to grinding out old yarns
over and over again?"
"Molly and / were talking this morn.
ing" said Mrs. Porter, "and he came
along and held ont his tablets. You
appear to he intensely Interested said
he, Let me share the story l declare
I couldn't write down that we had beer
talking for one hour of Bessy's new
bonnet"
The joke which convulsed everybody
at the table when written out in cold
black and white was so intolerably
stupid! In the baroness of written
words, too, malice and gossip became
SO malignant and black!
When Cousin John surprised them
all leaning forward listening breath.
lessly to James eager story, and hand,
ed her the tablets with nh appealing
look, she was overcome with mortifica'
ton. How could she write ont the
contemplate details of a squabble be.
tween the cook and the milkman?
The Porter family, thus wakened tc
their shortcomings, did not sink tc
sleep again when their guest was gone.
Many a pert nswer was checked OIL
the lip and replaced by a pleasant
smile; many a stupid story left untold:
long, eager discussions of trites ol
scandalous gossip died out suddenly
at the remembrance of Cousin Johns
white tablets. Thoughtful silence
often took the placeof incessant, mean.
ingless babble, and the words of the
Porters, when spoken, were few, kind
~ and to the point.
Would that Cousin Johns tablets
could come for a brief space into every
American household! or, better still,
the habit of a brief pause before speech,
We take pains to cleanse and adorn
our bodies before We 60 with them be,
fore the public. Yet we hurl oui
thoughts out to every pssser-by with
indecent haste, not caring whethe,
they are clean and good and wise, o,
not.
