that smooth place path, and he turned
around to make his way back when he
thought he sawsa crevice, which looked
as if it had been fashioned by the hand of
man. He looked sharply and well, and at
last convinced himself that here had been
a door, and he pushed with all his
strength, but no purpose. 1t would
not more. He threw himself against it,
but uselessly, and in his anger he tried to
lift a vitreous stone which lay by the side
of it, intending to throw that with all his
force, when, to his utter establishment, the
door swung slowly open, and then fell fiat
to the ground on the inside. The stone
had been placed as a weight upon lever
which closed the door automatically from
the inside, and when it was removed the
bolt shot away, and the weight of the door
swung it open, and then its own weight
caused it TO break the rust eaten hinges
and fall to the ground.
For a few minutes George stood look
ing into the gloomy interior before he
could decide to go in alone, and then he
ventured in little way, and then fur
Their, until he saw that there were three
chambers, and he judged them to be OF
natural form, made slightly different by
those who had occupied them.
He saw that there were great and small
chests and barrels around, and many
utensils which W )uld be of use TO them,
and then he was so glad that lie spranS
out and down the hill to Maxwell with his
wonderful news.
BY the aid of Georges shoulder and
stick Maxwell managed TO reach the spot,
though be suffered much, and they set
about examining the cave and its con-
tents. 1t was growing so dark that they
deferred the search until the NEXT day
and then they went up, supplied with
meat water and fire.
Maxwell had cut ont some large pieces
of fat from the turtle and through one he
drew piece of cotton cloth which he cut
from the lining of his pants, and this he
fastened in hollow piece of kclp, and it
furnished them a lamp TO use in case OF
need. Their fire they had arranged for
all day.
They found in this place chest after

valueless from mold. but there were silver
ware, jeweiry, arms and an almost meal

A GREAT OPPORTUNITY
l2S, 900 Acres Of Fine Land at
SI,25 per Acre.

5000 acres of Land in Western Texas,
watered by two never failing rivers of pure
water, with living water in different places
on the tract. Railroad runs through the
land for 40 miles and has four stations
within its boundary. The land has an ele-
walton of from 2,7OO to $500 leet above sea
level and an average rain fall according to
the signal report for the last ten years of
a. inches per annum. The country is of
limestone formation and is broken up into
hill, valley and table lands; producing
MESQUITE and gramma grasses on which
stock thrive all the year round without
other food. Fifty miles of fence will en-
close the whole tract; the increase can be
easily counted fromI7O to 80 per cent. Stock
can be shipped direct from the rancho, thus
avoiding long drives. A like amount of
land can be leased from the state for 10
years at the rate of cents per acre per
annum, thereby making ranch of $4,000
acres.

take. How tall are you anywaypp
I've answered that question till Tn

turned about.

Weighing the Baby.

The story is on young Chicago
father. The baby was his first, and he
wanted to weigh it.
Its bouncerm he exclaimed.
"Where are the scales?'
The domestic hunted up an old
fashioned steelyard that had come
down from a former generation. 1t
was the only weighing machine in the
house. The baby, wrapped in the
ileecy folds of some light fabric. was
suspended from the proper hook, and
the proud young father assumed charge
of the exercises.
"rll try it eight pounds" he said,
sliding the weight along the beam to
that figure.
"It won't do. She weighs ever SO
much more than that!'
He slid the weight along several
notches further.
"By George!" he said. "She weighs
pore than 10 pounds. Eleven-12-l3
IA! Is it possible"
He sat the baby and steelyard down
and rested himself moment.
Biggest baby / ever sawv' he pant
ed. resuming the weighing process.
Fifteen and half-sixteer! This
thing won't weigh her. See! Sixteen
is the last notch, and she jerks it up
like a feather. Go and get big pair
of scales at some neighbours. I'll bet
hundred dollars she weighs over
twent pounds. Miller he shouted.
rushing into the next room, ''she's the
biggest baby in this country! Weighs
over sixteen pounds"
What did you weigh her on?p in,
quired tho young mother.
"On the old steelyard in the kitchen. y
"The figures on that are only
ounces" she replied, quietly. Bring
me the baby. John. 49, Chicago Tribune.

good authority, that for some time past ne
gotiations have been pending between po.
litical organizations within the state of
Illinois and certain other parties within
tho state of South Dakota, having for their
object the contamination of compact or
deal whereby the election of United

poses of such organizations within the

both sides wanted the n Dor at once Prom

to lay it on the table Finally discuss ion
commenced and IL was right from the
shoulder. Mr.. Buchanan referred to
sockless Jerry Simpson who had made n
vow not to change his socks until the Nc.
kinley bill was repealed and was becom-
ing odorferous. The other side thought
there was no truth I'm the report, which
was only newspaper sensation. Politi-
cal shafts We're heaved from one side of
the house to the other without stint or re
gard for the consequences; in short, the
debate was red hot and thoroughly en-.
joyed by the spectators. The motion te
lay upon the table was at last carr ed by
n strict party vote of 81 yeas to 30 nays.
The combine goes on record as giving no
credeDce to the story.
The joint ballot for senator was quite in
teresting. Large crowds gathered early,
having in some way got the idea TINT thero
was going to be "a crisis in affairs, AS the
first ballot was taken it was noticed that
some of the democrats were going TO Kyle
and the excitement became intense. The
republicans feared that the time had
come. The independents thought that on
any ballot a sufficient number of demo.
cratic votes would come to Kyle
to elect. The democrats were alone
onto the scheme, for such it was.
Sterling received 6S votes, Kyle g. Tr.pp
IL and Campbell |. Four democrats had
gone to Kyle. Another ballot gave Kyle
two more democratic votes Then the in
dependents thought third would surely
bring them, but the democrats had gone
far enough and no more changes were
made.
Neither house today passed upon impor-
tant business. The senate devoted most
of tie time to a discussion of the Austral-
i'm ballot bill, which Judging from the
sentiment, will surely pass.

and the Queen pleaded with her coun-

the usual Derversty of affairs of the

undesirable and reason prevailed over
love. Victoria proposed, instead, to
the German Prince she welded, and
Ellenborough was presented with a
commission in the army which trans
ported him safely out OF the way TO
India, where he distinguished himself
after the manner of disappointed lovers
by his reckless daring and bravery.
There are some disadvantages in be-

one Of the leading industries of this
section. Cement land, or land having
deposits Of material from which cement
is made, is now very valuable, being
worth from $50 TO 500 an acre. 1t Is
probable that there will be no more
land OF this kind on the market by
spring. The. cement tract embraces
about $4,000 acres. or this, $4,000 acres
are owned by companies who will put
up factories in the spring. There is
moro money in cement land than in the
best paying gold mines in the country,
and eastern capital has not been slow
to find this out.
