NE PRESIDENTS pAy.
How Mr.. H.rreon Draws His salary-A Very
Simple Procs ding.

Just how President Harrison is
paid perhaps one man in h, n
dred knows. It is taken for
granted, though, that the president
gets hands on his salary in some
way and spends it very much after
the fashion of other men.
The statutes of the United States
fix the salary of the president and
other public officials. Nj. Harri-
son is entitled to $4,000 a year,
and is supposed to be paid quar-
terly. In fact he is not, explains
the Washington Post.
Assistant Secretary Of the Treas
ury Crounce has charge of the pay
ment of salaries, and once month
he sends to the divisions, of &C.
counts a document addressed to
the secretary of the treasury in
these words. "Please cause a war
rant to be issued in favor of Benjamin
Harrison, president of the United
States, for the sum of $4,1G6.67,
with which he is to be charged and
held accountable under the follow
ing head of appropriations" The
section of the statute is quoted and
the document signed by the assis-
tant secretary.
The warrant for this amount is
then issued and recorded in the
proper books, when it sent to Treas
urer Nebeker, who issues his draft
on the United States treasury in
favor of the president. This draft
is no different from any other, save
that it is in the name Of the presi-
dent alone. Ifthe chief magistrate
is in the city it is sent to the white
house by special messenger and
delivered to the president or his
private secretary.
After the president puts his name
on the back of it the draft becomes
negotiable paper, the same as any
other, and is sent by him to the
Columbia bank, where it is depos-
tied to his credit and becomes a
part of his private account. If he
is out of the city the draft is sent
to the president by mail. 1t hap
pened that on the 18th of July
General Crook was going down tc
Cape May, and the draft for that
months salary was given to him tt
to convey to the president.
There is no monthly accounting
kept with the president or vice
president, as with other officials
but at the close of his term a fina,
settlement is made between the
treasury department and the
executive.

But just as my ears caught the hoarse roar
OF the bowlder-tretted river to the bottom of
whose wild gorge we were fast coming, my
spirits and my poise were simultaneously
upset by Shadow, who bolted between nv
very legs from behind. When l recovered
my feet and looked back for the cause of his
fright l saw that he had "come into carnp"
none too soon. Twenty feet behind us a
huge mountain lion was crouching in the
middle of the track. l could even hear his
long tail humping against the ties. The
rifle went to my shoulder like lightning:

But 1t was a thousand to one against

THE MAGIC DOLLAR,
TRANSLATED FOR THE DISPATCH,

With aching hearts and sad, fearful coun-
tenances old Farmer Hansen and his wife sat
in the doorway of their cottage one summer
evening and talked of their daughter, the
fair-haired Elsie, whom they had that day
buried in the village churchyard. The
lonely old couple were sorely grieved over
the loss of their only child, and they could
not bear to think of the long, sad days when
their humble home, which had rung with
merry, childish laughter, would be so quiet
that the ticking of the old clock on the man
tel shelf would be heard in all parts of the
house.
As the old people talked, and tried in
vain to comfort one another, the garden gate
clicked, and the figure of a little girl,
dressed in white, and having long, golden
curls, ran down the path leading to the
house. When she reached the door, she
looked with her large, blue eyes into Farmer
Hansen's face and said: "Please stop. cry
ing, for have come to stay with you, and
to be your little girl. My name is Listeth.
Are you not very glad to see me?"
The farmer could not resist the pleading,

wind buffeted us all day, filling eyes, nos
trils and lungs with the fearful shkai dust
which makes life a burden. Thirty miles of
that sort of thing made a hard days work,
and we were more than content to reach the
lone section house at No Aqua Ono

made hideots by two Mexicans raving with
delirium tren}ens.
The ground was lost under inches of
snow when we rose in the morning, and the
storm continued savagely all day. By,
night 1t was hard wading, and we were
pretty well tired out by the time we
reached Servilleta, The snow largely left
US next day, and in the afternoon wounded
a deer by snap shot. We followed his
blood-dotted trail for ten miles and then
had to give it up Cold, famished, with
out food or water, night not far,
but the nearest house 15 miles away,
I began to anticipate sorry night. By the
greatest good luck, belated prairie dog sat
upon his burrow to wsch us, and ball cut
off his head. We got back at last to the
railroad, where found battered powder
can, and with snow from shady ravine par
boiled nv game therein, afterward roasting
him at campfire. He was rank, and COW

ever tasted sweeter to me-and Shadow was

There was glorious moonlight; and despite
the hard pull of the day I decided to keep
on to Embudo, seven miles below. Just
south of Barranca the track suddenly pitches
off the edge of the high plateaus, and for
eight miles tumbles down a winding canon
with grade of 200 feet to the mile. We
trotted swiftly and in high spirits down the
steep slope, now in the clear moonlight, and

different type from those we had seen In
Colorado. There were wee peach orchards
and tiny gardens, each inclosed BY a breast
high adobe wall, and neat adobe houses un-
der the giant cott9nwoods, and cattle and
burros grazing the brown meadows, and
primitive little mills, and now and then
came the greaseless shrek of old carretas-
clumsy carts whose wheels were carved in
one block from cross sections of huge syca-
mores, and without hub, spokes or tires.
A Tantalizing and Fat Gambler.
In front of one of these quiet hamlets
met gambler-looking fellow driving two
handsome horses to blackboard. He was
well dressed, fat, and evidently full of
coarse good humor with himself and the
world. He pulled up and began to quiz me
in an impudent way that made my fingers
grow quite warm, though held my temper.
"Say, pardner," he chuckled, "thet blum.

set it down-behind the stump of big cot

maliciously. L was literally "stumped,"
and was just about to give in when glitter
over against an adobe wall caught my eye.

I sat down in the telegraph Office to catch up

A sudden disturbance caused me to look
up. A big, well-dressed man stood fourfeet
from me, and in front of him was short,
tough faced desperate showing the cold muz-
zle of forty-four against his back and curs-
ing him with indescribable huency. The big
man, whowas white as sheet did not look
to me thick enough to stop bullet at such
short range; and the 100-ton cannon have
seen never looked half as big or ugly as that
miserable blue-steel bore which was peering
straight at me. l felt sure that if that
horny finger put a hairs weight more upon
the trigger the big man was not the only
one who would get hurt; and feeling deli
cacv in that puncti1ioUs country against
stopping any bullets which were not meant
for me, gracefully got out Of range. The
big man begged most piteously, and finally
the other concluded not to kill him. The
man with the six-shooter was the local dep

because he had killed several men, and
could be expected to hold his own against
other desperadoes. And they say he was
