A Solid Silver Wagon Road.

"You may talk about nickel-plateo
railroads" said Vice-President L. T.
Stanley, of 904 Walnut street, "but
what do you think of a solid silver
wagon road? The Horseshoe mine in
Colorado has one, although when it
was built they didn't know it would
pan out that way. They had to have a
road from the mine, distance of
three miles, over which heavy loads
were to be drawn. They took the
rock that had been taken from the
shafts they were sinking, and which
lay around in the way, and
macademized the road all the
way through. The wagons pass
ing over the road ground the rock
down. One day they had heavy rain
storm, and when things got dry again
after this rain the wind blew the dust
off the road, and all through the road
bed, every which way, they could see
big streaks of silver. Well, may be,
they didn't collar to the rest of that
loose rock that lay about those shafts!
They sent away lot of it to be assay
ed, and when the report came back
they found that their road bed was
worth 5000 q ton. 1t was a little cX-
pensive to drive over but they had to
have the road, and l suppose they've
got it yet, if their mines have held out. !"

READING FOR THE YOUNG.
WHEN BEDTIME COMES.

Why do you cry when bedtime comes?
Dreams are waiting, and fairy drums
Will soon be beating their soft tattoo
In drowsy chorus over you.
The moon and the stars will com and peep
at a little one who IS fast asleep;
And out OF the flowers on the window-sin,
While soft on the pillow your head lies still
Beautiful fairies perhaps will glide,
And open their rainbow wings quite wide,
Flying around you in fairy rings,
And kissing you gently-the pretty things
Then don't be crying as babies do;
want to be always brave; don't youf
Kiss me, darl ng-bld mother ''goOd-night,'
Away with the tears now! There, tkcts right

DON FERNANDO CRUZ, GUATEMALAN MIN
lister TO UNITED STATES AND DELEGATE
TO THE CONGRESS.
DR.. T. Cruz, who Is the new minister
from Guatemala, and has also been ap-
pointed by his government as delegate to
the congress of nations, which convenes
at Washington the first week in October,
was born in the city of Guatemala, and
is forty-fOur years of age. He received
his education at the College and Uni
veTsity of Guatemala, and was made q
doctor of law there and also professor
OF law in that institution of learning.
He is man of note and prominence in
his own country; he has been secretary
of state and secretary of the interior sew
eral times and has held other positions of
lesser note. He is an accomplished and
fluent linguist, speaks and writes Span
ish, English, French, Italian and Latin.
His profession is that of law, but he is
now in the diplomatic service of his ooUn-
try, one for which Professor Cruz is well
qualified and fully equipped.
The proposition for holding this confer
ence of American nations originated IN
this country, and was at length officially
formulated in an act of congress viii h
authorized the president to invite the
various Central and South American ma
tons to send delegates, and appropriated
S125, 200 for their entertainment. All of
the nations invited have notified this
government of their acceptance except
the Guianas, Paraguay, San Domingo
and Hayti, and the majority of them
have already appointed delegates. It's

PARIS, TEX, Sept. 22.-When the
500 train arrived here this afternoon it
brought couple of waits who had been
placed in charge of the conductor at Fort
Worth this morning by a woman who
told him that they would be met here by
their mother. But no one came to meet
them and the conductor was in trouble.
He was bound to go on andthe little fell
lows we're crying TO go to. Final
ly J. d. Elliott and w. H.
Deshong took the children until
something could be done with them.
They are exceedingly bright little fell
lows, aged three and four years and told
the following history of themselves:
They say that they used to live in Kansas
City and Fort Smith, but had been living
for some time at Fort Worth. Their
mother sold lace and other articles.
About two weeks ago she got on train
there and left. She gave her name
to the conductor as Katie Sherlock
Turey. The boys are named Tommie
and Eddie Tommie being the oldest.
They say that their mother when she
went away left them with Mrs. Null
holland, who claimed to be their aunt.
SIX children of her own. She told them
that she was going to Kansas City and
put them on the train. They had the
following note, which had neither direc-
ton nor signature: Am going to leave
the children all the winter with Mrs
Hines, Oil Cherry street, Fort Worth. -
This was given them by Mrs. Mulhol-
land. They had q satchel containing five
pairs of pants and some Other clothing,
but no undeTclothng. They were very
neatly dressed, but were begrimed with
smoke and dust. 1t is not known how
they come to be cast off, but it is certain
that there was no one here TO meet them
Much interest is felt in the little fellows
as TO what their history is and the where
abOuts of the mother. They say they
have no recollection Of their father

As to the advisability of & restoration
of the tariff on hides and other by-pro-
ducts of livestock, there can be no doubt
of the fairness of such demand as long as
tariff is maintained on other American
Industries. Ii it is proper to have a tar
if on the wool OF a sheep, il is certainly
proper to have a tariff on the hair and
hide of 2 COW. If it is proper to give
protection to the owners Of our iron,
lead and copper mines, it is equally so to
give protection to the producers of hides,
hair, bones, horns, hOofS, blood and CUTS.
They are all raw material and the
members of one industry are just as
much entitled to protection from foreign
competitor as the other, Indeed, if there
Is any wisdom in protection az all it
should be given to the masses who toll
and struggle with the soil, and not to the
few wealthy mine owners of the country.
According to the last census returns
nearly one-half of the entire population
of the United States were dependent
upon agriculture for support, and only
very small percentage were ell
gagged i'll mining enterprises.
1t would, therefore, seem to be
eminently proper for the cattle raisers of
the United States to demand one of two
things-equal protection with the manu-
facturers and miners, or free trade on
the goods they are compelled to purchase
for themselves aud their families. We
believe this to be simple Justice and we
hope that the members of this great in
dustry-the bone and sinew of the whole
country--will be prepared to make the
demand when congress meets again.

If the experience of the past thirty
years is any guide, it is quite plain to see
there Is no over-pToduction in livestock
at the present moment; and, according
to the estimate that DR.. Ames makes
viz: S14 for every 1000 of population, it
will be seen from the above figures that
there is a positive shortage of 2 ,57S ,958
head.
Another very important point for dis
cussiOn is the present indiscriminate
manner we have of shipping our stock to
market. The producing range extends
from Texas on the south to Dakota on
the north, and as far west as Colorado
and Utah; all centeTing on one common
point as a market to sell our cattle in
1t stands to reason that unless some sys-
tenn is employed to regulate the daily
output the shipments will not be uniform
and the market will sometimes be glut-
ted and at other times poorly supplied.
The buyers of our product have intro
duced facilities for storing an unlimited
number of slaughtered cattle in cold
storage rooms, which enables them to
take advantage of glutted markets, and
purchase several days supply in ad-
vance. which makes them perfectly in
dependent of the condition of supply
when shipments are reduced. They are :,
