days in spite Of the law, They deaed
the officers Of the law and, with the
willing assistance Of their numerous
retainers, actually came near breeding a
riot,
But the law was clear and its ministers
were not afraid to enforce it. The Chief
Of Police took hold with a firm hand,
The public prosecutor gave no occasion
to doubt his earnestness, No winks
were exchanged between the officers Of
the law and the yiolaters OF the law,
The result is a remarkable scene in
court. saloonkeepers arraimed fol
breaking the Sunday law admit their
fault, ask to be forgiven this time and
promise for the future ready obedience
to the law. The roar OF the lion gives
place to the pathetic bleating of the
lamb, The court wisely gives the re-
formed lions a chance to see how they
can get along as lambs,
1t is often said that the Sunday law
cannot be enforced in a large city, es
pecially in a large city having a large
foreigp'boru population, Cincinnati IL
all this, and yet tho Sunday law enforce
ment in that city has humbled the
pride OF the whisky men and brought
them to their knees,
The Sunday law can be enforced IL

quires only that the officers Of the Law
shall do their duty, aud this they viii

Foremost among the sights which
call forth EXPLANATIONS Of establishment
from the tourist is that Of the gorgeous
cactus Of Arizona Territory. Like ether
tropical productions, It is totally unlike
any preconcelved notions Of what ma
ture could design. The plant is leaf
less; having q bare, feshy stock. pro-
tected everywhere by sharp and ven-
omous barbs. Its flowers are considered
among the choicest, varying from white
and yellow to deep crimson or purple.
These blossoms call TO mind Alladin's
tabled experience among the fairy
plants, with their sparkling fruit Of
diamonds and other gems. The fruit
Is egg-shaped, with crown on the
upper side, and presenting ms varied
colors rs the flowers. In different spe-
cies. the fruit in size Is all the way up
from n canary's TO an ostrich's egg.
The cactus is almost imperishable, and
can live many months without water,
although 1t is only seen in its perfec-
ton under a plentiful supply. So hardy
is the plant that piece from any part
will take root and grow II placed in tho
ground, even though it has lain around
for time. 1t thrives equally well on
a piece OF bare rock, in n scorching
tropical sun, us It would packed in ice
ina northern zone. 1t is a paradox
a curiosity Of the vegetable kingdom.
