honOrs.

But HIS knowledge Darkened HIS
Mothers Life.
She lived in log cabin in the Ten
nessee mountains.
She was gray, old, poor, religious
religion was her sole comfort. She
read her Bible and prayed cor tinu-
ally.
Her son Jim was out West.
She exhibited the beggarly remit
tances which he sent her with trem-
bling hands and sparkling, pride-full
eyes.
Jim came home to stay. Her cup of
Joy was full. On the afternoon of his
arrival she was reading her Bible and
whispering prayers of thankfulness.
Jim approached her and spread his
rough hands over the page she was
reading. She regarded him with sur
prise. He told her that he had heard
great men talk out West, and had
learned that the Bible was not true
was not the inspired Word of God.
Her face was as yellow as unbleach-
ed flax; a wisp Of faded hair fell
down her cheek. She put up her toll
hardened hands to stop him, but he
talked on eloquently. She said not a
word when he had finished and left
the cabin, but she rose, and going to
her bed in the corner Of the room, she
knelt and tried in vain to pray.
She stood in the cabin door in
struggle; there was no sign Of blood
in her face. Jim was right, she sup
posed; she had never known him to
be wrong. People had always said
he had a keen mind.
The next Sunday she did not go to
meeting; she stayed at home, and
tried to comprehend what Jim had
to say about the mistakes Of the
Bible. She trembled and felt cold in
her breast as the singing from the
meeting house stole over the mn ana
through the trees.
She fell i'll. The shadow Of death
came into her face. Neighbors wiped
their eyes at her door and gathered
at her bedside. The preacher came,
"Are you ready to go, sister?" he
asked.
Il don't know" she gasped, and
cast an appealing glance at her son,
who stood at the foot of the bed.
"I've heerd at the Bible amt true.
1 use ter b'lieve AT when my time
come I'd go off easy, but now it's just
awful-awful!" weg
She tried to put out her hand to-
ward Jim, essayed to speak, but
death froze her unasked question on
her face.

dreamed of by Noah Elephants, tigers,
hippopotami, lions, horses, clowns, rid
ers and all-the whole outfit crowded
together in one ship of the sea; tents,
monkeys, char. OTIS and every other item
of the show adrift n the broad Pacific
Ocean. Never was such job of en-
barkation experienced at the Oceanic
dock, says the San Francisco Exam

of this port hope TO ship a cargo OF

ine the flooring of that dock simply
packed with a travelling show, and you
will have some faint idea of what the
Oceanic dock looked like.
In the good old days when Noah went
into the ship-building business the job of
filling an ark with a complete, II hetero-
geneous, collection of mammalia of both
sexes seems TO have been q task of con-
summate easiness Anyhow Genesis
says nothing about its difiicu ty, and If
any hitch occurred-any strike among
the 'longshoremen or any of that sort OF
busincss-Genesis would have recorded

happened to be, etc
When the job of loading began all was

willing ones The aguars, for instance,
howiel mournfu'ly when they found
that they were to be hoisted aboard the
steamer, the monkeys simply shrieked
with delight. They eXemplitied two ex-
tremes-the one demonstrated grief, the
other joy-and neither cared for either.
There was only one happy medium and
that was the hay, and that hay came
aboard in tons and carloads, tons upon

A water Gun.

Near Horn Head, County Donegal,
Ireland, there Is hole in the rocks
called McSwiney's gun. 1t is on the
sea coast, and is said to have connec-
tion with cavern. When the north
wind blows and the sea is at half
flood the wind and the waves enter
the cavern and send up jets of water
from the gun" to height of more
than 100 feet. The jets Of water are
accompanied by explosions which may
be heard for miles.

AN IMPORTANT DEAL.

Last night TIE REPUBLICAN closed it's contract for another term of it's valuable Associated Press service. By the com tract TIE REPUBLICAN receives SIX THOU SAND WORDS NIGHTLY, exclusive of special telegrams. Our readers are entirely familiar with the vast superiority of this service over all others in the Territory. Its complete and exhaustive report places TIE REPUBLICAN in direct compe- tition with the San Francisco and Los Angeles dsilies, in which competition we have two days the advantage. TaE REPUBLICAN was founded on the propo- sition that the Territory needed and de- manded newspaper which could give more than the local news, and the con tinued growth in patronage of this paper proves that the founders were not far wrong. ...... ..
 In addition to the regular contract for the Associated Press dispatches, THE REPUBLICAN has concluded arrangeme nts for specials from three prominent cities Kansas City, New York and San Fran cisco. This will materially strengthen and add to the interest of our telegraphic columns, and we are sure the extra ex- pense will be justified by additional pat ronage from discriminating public.

last year, at

WHILE the whole of the country are still talking of the fraility of the Prince of Wales and his gambling adventures, a cablegram comes announcing that Lord Brook, the son of the Earl of Warwick, has applied for a divorce from his wife and makes the Prince of Wales correspondent. The manner in which the recent verdict was received should admonish that gilded but not youthful scion that the throne of Eng land is in very shaky condition. The infallability of kings and their divine right is myth of bygones. It is not probable that the English people today with all their hard sense and sturdy love of liberty will tolerate in an in- dividual what their ancestors rebuked in the frivolous Charles I. It has been an open secret for years that the Prince of Wales was notorious roue-the head of dissipated set whose orgies have been laid in all the capitals of Europe but no one accused him of being tim horn gambler except that class of "high- born dones" and gentry with whom his evenings were spent. This late discov- cry of debauchery of the wife of a friend, and one to whom he owes pro- lection, while not exactly news to many, will be looked upon with indignation by the Churchmen of England, who form no inconsiderable part.
 There are very few men of prominence who expect to see the Prince of Wales, Albert Edward, ascend the throne of Victoria as Edward VII. There has been fatality about the English Ed wards, from Edward the Confessor to the unfortunate brother of Mary and Elizabeth. Edward, the Banker, sur named Chips. is under ban.

A NEW DISCOVERY

It is always hard to make people be- lieve that you have the best, especially when the article is newly invented one. They will look upon all proposi- tions made with suspicious eye but we trust they will give careful considera- tion of the proposition we are about to make. We intend to show the people of this Territory the only road to prosper ity. We do not wish to show that State hood will alone develop the resources of this glorious country. but we contend, and do so not because we are now person. ally interested in this question, for we be- came interested because we saw the ad- vantages and necessity of going into this business, but because we honestly believe that the future prosperity of this Territory depends upon the reclamation of the desert lands by windmills. We know what we say because we practice what we preach. California today is what she is on account of windmills giving her "the start in life." The Ermotor is the latest improved mill and shows an increase of thirty-fve per cent in power over any mill manufactured. It is simply a wonderful machine and performs wonders. For instance, a l6- foot Ermotor is equal-and is guaran- teed to be soto any 24-foot wheel made, and at an elevation of say thirty feet will work two good eight-inch pumps, which will throw 5000 gallons of water per hour. This means l92, ,0o0 gallons per day, and if you have large reser- voir you can let the mill run night and day. One hundred and ninety-two thousand gallons of water would irrigate ten acres of fruit trees per each tariff. Think oft. Do not doubt this statement, for we will sell our mills with this guar antee. We know the Ermotor will do it, and if it don't you are under no obliga- tion to take the same. We also guarantee that l6-foot Ermotor will work four inch pump 500 feet deep. Cattlemen this deserves your careful consideration, for you can save immensely by putting in an Ermotor, and use your steam pumps in cases of emergency. The Ermotor will pump 1000 feet. All steel and will last q life time. Send for cir culars and further information.
