Not to be Downed.

The process of the youthful mind
when it gets to logical deduction is apt
to be fearful and wonderful, and the
adult intellect is not always easily able
to follow.
At a kindergarten class not long
since the teacher asked her pupils to
give an example OF q cylinder from
some object which they had at home.
"Asparagus, one small boy re-
sponded very promptly.
''My mother had rhubarb," another
said briskly, thus catching at half the
cylinder idea and yet improving an op-
portunity to boast of something which
his family enjoyed
The third, overcome by the connec-
ton of ideas on the culinary side, lost
sight of the original proposition alto
gether, and cried out with the air of
one who is not to be b< aten:
''Well, my mothers going to make
some root beer. anyway" - Boston

They were left almost penniless, de-
pendent on their'own exertions. Much
was said of the employment to be
found in America and the good wages
paid. Lisette's aunt decided to come
and try their fortunes in the strange
country. ''But what O. Kenneth?" the
girl had asked. II gaze him promise
to wait for him till he comes hame fer
me, this Yuletide year." .Leave yer
address with some friend, Clyde Burgn
wad be guide one, and when he comes
hame fer We, he can come over the
waters Ter ye, or ye can come back to
him. We must gae, lass, fer there's
naught to do here"
So they came and found home and
employment in this country. The first
year was happy one to them. They
were charmed with the novelty of it
all, and though they worked hard they
were making and saving money. And
Lisette would be so glad to show it to
her lover when he came for her. Over
and over she planned her wedding out
fit, day after day she dreamed of the
little home that would be theirs, in
their "ain countrie.''
The weeks slipped happily by, but
when the Christmas came and no Ken
meth came over the waters, and the
months slowly dragged away till the
summertime had come and yet no
lover, the happy smile faded. The
cheeks lost their bloom, and the laugh
ing eyes lost their light and were visit
full now. Each mornings dawn brought
whisperings of hope that might be
fulfilled, brought expectancy and
yearning love. Each evenings sun set
on the hopes and dreams and plans of
q loving heart.
That fall the aunt sickened and died,
leaving Lisette alone in the great,
strange world. She had been q pa
tient, loving nurse all through her
aunt's long sickness and was heart
broken at her loss. People said sor-
rowfully that she would soon join her
in their long home, she looked SO white
and languid. And she coughed some.
They remembered that her aunt had
said her father had died of consump-
tion. They argued with her about
working SO hard, but she only shook
her head decidedly. .1 must" she
said, II am gaeing back to my ain
countrie when can save emo to take
me there" Her aunt's illness had used
up all her little store. So she worked
on, patiently, quietly, always talking
of that home of hers, in the far away
country; working, striving ever to reach
it. They all loved the girl, these kind
neighbors Of hers, and it panied them
to see, her fading away from them
They helped her all she would permit
them, but she was strangely independ'
ent, and liked best to be left alone the
little while she had out of the mill

New YORK, June lit was surprise
to the Wall street contingent and to men
about town, yesterday, to hear that ex-
Judge Murat III. Masterson had married
bis pretty niece. The judge and his
charming bride are now spending their
honeymoon at the Sturtevant house 1t
was only few days ago that Judge Mas
terson figured as the best man at the we'd
ding of Eugene S. Ccwles, an event that
created an endless amount of gossip.
The judge evidently concluded to follow
the example of his friend and has, there
re, for the second time, been classed
among the benedicts. He has an office
in Wall street and enjoys the reputation Of
being a shrewd and su cessful fnanCier.
He acquired his title of 'jndge" in
Arizona, where he is said to have been a
noted citizen. Tie judge first came into
prominence in this city, year ago, He

Mrs. HoskinSon had quarreled with The
Judge and had fred several shots at him,
none of which did him any injury. The
judges quarrel with the pretty widow was
due to some business transactions the
Judge had with the widow. Mrs. Master
son was absent at that time, but she
hurried to New York and put up at the
Grand Union hotel. She had stormy
interview with her husband and and de-
cided to part from him. Within a few
hours after the meeting, Mrs. Masterson
dropped dead in the hotel corridor,
caused by heart disease. After that Judge
Masterson went to Chicago. He was an
interested spectator at the trial of Cronin
and took warm interest in Mary l.. Post
lewaite, who was acting as stenographer
for Chicago newspaper. He was intro
duced to Miss Postlewaite and he secured
her to act as his private secretary. Miss
Postlewait accompanied her employer to
New York and was installed in his office

A Democrat on Cleveland,

WASHINGTON, June "a gentleman
who is familiar with southern politics
said in an interview to-day:
"The south has been very friendly to Mr..
Cleveland. Until the appearance OF his sill
yer letter he had the heart of the people Of
the south, and he was SO strong among
them that the political leaders could not
oppose him. His tariff message made him
the leading advocate OF tariff reform,
though not the first teacher of the doc
trine. The reduction OF taxation was as
sociated with Cleveland's name, and it
was believed that there was no power
that could prevent his denomination in
1892 and that he could sweep the coun.
try on that issue. His letter on the silver
question, however, has caused change
in sentiment toward him which can
hardly be appreciated in the east, and
there are other things which have con-
tributed toward making him less popular.
1.-THE south will probably JOIN with the
west in an attempt to nominate some
man outside of New York, and the fight
will be between the south and west on
one side and the eastern and middle
states on the other. The idea of Mr..
Cleveland's friends is that the best thing
for him and the Democratic party at this
time is to hold all the strength possible
in the eastern and middle states, hoping
for no increase of strength in the west,
but relying on the third party movement
to weaken the Republicans there. The
south, they think, ie bound to be solldly
Democratic, Notwithstanding the third
party more rs po4 Iargu uliav unoy ucneve
they can afford to risk the loss of great

the convention the argument will not be
as strong, and the chances are in favor OF

appear in Cantwell's behalf.
The grand jury at Socorro has been en-
gagged for several days past in investigst-

trict attorney for the 9th judicial district.
He is charged with malfeasance in Office
in that in one instance he accepted fee
of $500 from the Socorro county commits

Sheriff Robinson, and in another case is
alleged to have taken similar fee for a
