benches, and the parson took his PSas-
ticn at the outdoor pulpit as quietly as If
nothing had happened
"Owin' ter the racket, said the par
son, ''they won't be nothin' this evenin'
but the benediction. Hereafter they
won't be no racket, an reg'lar services
will be held"
Then he pronounced the benediction
upon as orderly and appreciative con-
gregatioD as ever faced a preacher.
Then he rode off leisurely, just as he
did before, without over once looking
behind him.
After that, as the parson had predict
ed, there was no disturbance at the meet
ings. The parson soon became an estab-
lished and very important institution
He knew that country like book, and
every mine in it, and his advice was re
liable. His influence had on more than
one occasion prevented bloodshed. In
many ways the parson made himself
popular and power for good. Some
how or other they had learned that his
name was Josh, but even this informa-
ton was rarely made use of, and he was
simply "the parson."
Four Hole City was slowly but surely
undergoing a change.
1t was becoming civilized.
The first step was taken The parson
had led them.
One afternoon, year or so after the
parson appeared first in Four Hole City,
eighteen or twenty men, covered with
dust and riding jaded horses, rode into
town with a prisoner. That prisoner was
the parson.
"Mistakel Mistake Mistake!" said the
citizens.
No, itwasn't a mistake. That was Red
Murphy, murderer and horse thief.
"Proofp demanded the citizens.
Plenty Of proof. The horse he was tied
to was one he had stolen.
The citizens were obliged to believe it.
The parson said nothing in answer to
questions, and seemed as Indifferent of
danger as the horse he was riding.
His legs were unstrapped, and he was
taken from the horse. The rope was put
around his neck and thrown over limb.
"Wanter pray?" he was asked.
He looked doubtful for moment.
"Unbind my hands" said he. "There
are enough Of you - - to eat me-
Let me pray with my hands loose"
In consideration of the good he had
done, the request was granted, though
there was some objection. His own un-
concern was another consideration in
granting the request. He seemed re-
signed to his fate, they noticed. 1t
couldn't do any harm.
The parson raised his hands, his face
turned upward.

slowly, "an' some bad. l have stole

The parson stopped suddenly. knife
| in his hands.
In another instant the rope around his
knees was loosed, and then at his feet,
and he was fairly in the saddle and
started before shot was fired.
The parson was off-pursuit was out
of the question. They fired recklessly,
and he escaped unhurt.
They watched him then until he and
his horse were speck on the horizon.
"Red Murphy's luck" growled one Of
the men, as he turned to his horse.

THE KINGS DIARY.

JULY IA, 1859.
"Rien, he wrote, because Il chanced that day
There was no hunt Of fawn or stag or boar
All else was nothing 10 the man who wore
The crown which once the brows Of Hugh Capet
Had ached beneath, eight centuries away.
Since then what well beloved and hated more
Had worn IL lightly, or with anguish sore,
Some strong to rule and many but to slay.
"Nothlngi" And, while he wrote the senseless
word
The tocsin rang in Paris; the human food
Poured onward raging till it came where stood
The Bastile. Soon the foolish king had heard
How prone 1t lay. Behold his ainless wit:
BE and his kingdom were as he had writ.

Stamp Out Disease.

In communication to the house
 commi tee on agriculture in suppo; t
 of recommendations for enlareeine
 the powers of the bureau of animal
 industry, Secretary Rusk shows in
 very strong light the great advan-
 tage which absolutely freedom from
 such diseases aspleuro-paeam onia
 would be to the cattle growers 0 the United States. With perfect
 ly clean bill of health we could b.
 -easonably ask for the removal ot the restrictions which placed or
 ahe admission of our cattle at
 British ports. It is estimated that these restrictions cause onr steer. 70 sell for from S10 to SI5 p,r head less than cattle of the san quality which are exported from Canada, since they mus be sold at ounce and without the opportunity of being held for a better market or until tdey have recovered from the effects of the of the voyage. As during the year 1889 there wer. exported 359'271 head of cattle direct loss accepting the minimum. figures mentioned would amount t B, 29G,000. Mir. Rusk further be lieves tha the receipts of Si0 pc. head increase for export cattle would react upon prices here and material increase the value of every steer sold. Admitting an increase ob only S5 per head, and takes the of steers marketed annually 1 as over 6, 6,000, ,O0U head. $50, ,O0O,0 ,00C 1 would be added to the annual earn- ings of our farmers. In addition 1 to this the value of the whole stock 1 hel1 in the country would be enhan- ,ed. Even supposing the secretary to be over-sanguine about tie result, of erad1cating disease, the country is justified in expending money lit ,rally to accomplish that end Let the country as soon as possibls , be rid of disease.

Begin Right Away.

1 Now that the subject of commis sioners from Arizona to the World': Fair is up, far sighted business mer are suggesting the propriety of rais. ing sufficient money to make a ereditaIle exhibit of Arizona s varied resources at Chicago in 1893. Work should begin at once and men be sent over the Territory to secure specimens of minerals, coal, stone, wood, salt, notifications, and all the fora and fauna of our i'm mense domain. Oar present re sources should receive especial prom thence, but, to make them eonspic- ious by contrast, elaborate collections of relics from our lost people, their pottery, arms, domestic utensils and and other productions should be made; together with characteristic representation of the unique in AriAona's life today, particularly of her Indians, their habits and ach- ievements: her churc 'es and ruins. The irrigation system could be illus trated. A very effective model of the desert before snd after watering might be made. In short there Is hardly limit to the features that, by time and attention, might be for cibly presented
 It has been suggested that the commissioners be paid a salary by the Territory, in addition to what the general government allows for expenses, They could then act for our citizens and, if d salary sufficient to secure competent men were ap- propriateed, Arizona would receive in ;alcu!atle benefit from their truth ful, adequte introduction to the whole inquisitive world that will
 
 there attend. Perhaps 1t might be well for our supervisors to take such action as would induce the 'Legis- lature to act literally in the matter next winter.

A Good Poker Story

Like all thoroughbred Kentuck. ians the editor of the Louisville Courter-Journal, Henry Waterson is great poker player. One even ing, some years ago, he was in New York city, and went to see the first production of Gilbert & Sullivon's opera, 'The Pirates of PepZance." Being an adInirer of pretty women and music, the per fomance caught him and he was especially taken with the song, q am pirate king" He hummed the air between the acts and be- tween the cloves until he had 1t down ''pat." It was on his lips when he left the theater after the performance, and the melody wal led up from his broad chest as he dropped into a well known resort and encountered a number of pro- fessional friends. There were Ned Thorne and other choice spirits, and to them Mir. Watterson landed the new opera and choice snatches of the Pirate King" through his puck
 cred lips. Soon a modest game was suggested, and the custodian of the star eyed goddess of reform willingly consented to take a hand
 Luck was not with him at the start, and the stack in front of him dwindled perceptibly. He warbled his favorite song, but the melody brought no substantial solace. Then he began to relate "reminiscences of the times when ''he was with Grant. Meanwhile Billy Barry had dropped in as an on-looker, and when Wattcrson, whom he did not know, mentioned his intimate ac- quai|tance with the old hero, Billy steppea Nn Ned Harrigan's foot and in a stage whisper asked "Who's his slobsl" He was informed that ''his slobs" was all right, and

Endlish Cattle Diseare,

 Cattle interests are evidently look
 Ing up quite sharply beyond the
 Atlantic, and exchanges received
 from week to week indicate that
 the stimulus afforded to this branch
 of farm industry is quite general
 Many men who have been drifting out of breeding for a number of years are either getting back into 1t or taking steps in that direction, and those in position to observe claim that the outlook is better than for number of years. On this point the London Live Stock Jour- nal makes the following remark: "lf this country could be kept free from foreign plagues for few years the extension of breeding would be enormous" To those who are aware that England has of all places been hot-bed disease for many years this smacks strongly of the ridiculous. No country from which England imports has had as much disease during the present general ion as England itself, and we fail to any record now which show as much trouble of this kind anywhere on of Europe as Is reported from the tight little island" It is unfor- tunate tbat Our transatlantic cous- ins have been unable to get rid of disease, but We hardly think that the trouble lies as much in its i'm portation from out side as in local failure to property cope with it at home.
