The Former Accounts for tho Latter to
His Entire Satisfaction.
During the year the last comet was
streaming in the sky was camping one
night in a canyon near the foot Of
Cooks Peak, N. M. In the party was
an old and-for an Indiana fairly in
telligent Ute named Sam. Sam had
been attached to some cavalry troop at
Fort Cummings as a scout, says tho
Kansas City Star, but his day of lcav-
ing the service being reached, he at
tached himself to motor q considera-
ton. Pointing to the comet. asked
Sam what he could say in it's defense
from the standpoint of Ute. Sam was,
unlike most Indians, good single
handed tall1er, and could speak English
very well. He was ambitious to perfect
himself in the language and readily
seized on every chance for a talk" In
deed, ! discovered him on one or two oc-
casions all alone and talking vigorously
at a mark like savage Dcmosthenes
sans the pebbles.
Tell about that?" said Sam. pointing
toward the comet. 'Sam do it heap
easy, you bet. The sun is the man and
he have moon for squaw. The stars
big stars and little stars-all are their
children. The sun don't like 'cm and
chases en-. If he catch one he eats it.
This makes the stars heap 'fraid, and
when the sun has his sleep over and
comes out the stars run and hide. When
the sun comes stars go; creep into holes
and hide. But the moon is good. She
loves her children, the stars, and when
the sun sleeps she comes out in the sky
and the stars are glad, and they come
out of the places they hide in and for
get to be 'fraid and play. But when the
sun wakes again they run. He is al
ways after them, and he catches them
sometimes. This one," continued Sam,
again pointing at the comet, "the sun
catch one time. He got away, though,
but the sun bit him and hurt him. That's
why he bleed SO. Now he's heap scared,
and so he keeps his face always toward
the place where the sun is sleeping"

"A New Religious Order for Special Work
In the Sahara Region.

n New Religious Order for Special Work
In the Sahara Region.
Cardinal Lavigcrie, WHO has done SO
much to abolish African slavery, has
given his sanction to the formation of n
new religious order having for its special
object the conversion to Christianity Of
the peoples in and around the Sahara
Desert The name of the now order,
says the Chicago Post, is the Brothers OF
the Sahara. 1t is the purpose of this
brotherhood to advance as fast as they
can safely do so from oasis to oasis
across the desert, and thus to be the
advance guard in pushing French in
fuence through the great regions which
she has recently acquired. Thus far the
! Catholic church has been very unfortu-
nate in its endeavors to extend its mis-
sionary work across the desert. Quite
/, number of its missionaries who started
to cross the Soudan have been killed by
fierce nomads. This time the mission
aries will not attempt to push forward
any faster than it seems safe to advance.
Their first religious establishment has
been opened at BislSra, in southern AL
geria, where the members of the order
are receiving preliminary training in
languages and native usages SO that
they may easily carry on their work.
They intend to receive under their roof
all wayfarers, fugitive slaves, sick and
infirm people who require either shell
ter, hospitality or medical care. 1t is
hoped before very long to found
branches of the order in Tugurt and
Wargla, the next stages on the desert
route.
Z 1t is probable that the fierce Tuaregs
who killed Mime. Time. the celebrated
Dutch traveller, several other well
known explorers and every missionary
who has ventured into their territory,
will soon cease to be the plague of the
desert. Between the persistent mis-
sionary influences that are constantly
making Roadway, and the purpose of
the French, in one way or another, to
overcome the hostility of the Tuaregs,
these fierce nomads will have an ex-
ceedingly hard time of it if they do not
cease their attitude of persistent hos
tility toward every white enterprise
that is pushed toward their country.

An absent-minded man created quite
sensation on Sixth street few even

He was in store making purchase.
The clerk who waited on him went
down into the cellar where the goods
were stored, taking lighted candle
with him. After securing it he returned
and placed the lighted candle on the
counter while he tied up the goods lie

hown the money. and grabbing the can.

passing cable car. He had almost
caught it when the shouts of several
boys made him aware of the ludicrous
picture he presented, and he hastily
returned to the store and profusely
spologized to the clerk for the mistake
be had made.

Are Farmers Sbiftjess.

President ID. s. Jordan has written a
long article on the causes of farm de-
preston, In which he places the diff
Guilty mainly with farmers themselves.
He complains that they do not work as
hard as their forefathers did. which is
probably true. But when he instances
the crowd Of idlers standing around a
country railway station as fair specimens
of the farmers in the vicinity, he makes
almost libelous charge. Most rail
roads do not go through the best farm
ing lands, and perhaps farmers adjacent
have been more easily discouraged than
others. II he will investigate farther
away from stations, he will find that farm
ers work hard and more hours than will
the average Of city workers. Farm work
now requires more thought and skill
than it once did. and it follows the old
rule in all labor, that those who work
with brain as well as with hand cannot
work az many hours with both as men
can who work with either brain or mus.
Gle exclusively. They accomplish more,
but work fewer hours. While they are
at work, however, the combined strain
on mind and body Is more exhaustive.
This, however, does not tend to shorten
life. No class Of people. as a rule, have
greater expectation Of long life than far
mers, and 1t is mainly because this oceu
patton has always given full employ
ment to powers of both mind and body.
