Capen Springs, where Miss Cornelia
was also. Dan had come over by him
self to spend the evening, because IL was
''lonely in the house across the ravine
without Anthony. "he said. He sat in
large arm chair beside the centre table,
and the light from the lamp fell full on
his rudy locks and made them glow
and glitter, Little Ran, who was rarely
absent from his side, was perched on
the arm of the chair, with his small bare
| feet on Dams knee. Suddenly he put
up his hand to his friends head. "How
red your head isl" he said, touching it:
'just like Goals OF fire. l could make
believe 1t burned me-"
"Hush, DAM said Mary quickly;
you must not be rude my child"
But Dan put his arm about the child
and drew him closer. Listen" he
said softly, land III tell you about it..
Long ago-more than thirty years
away in New Brunswick little child
was born. 1t was in the winter and
there was snow on the ground. From
the trees and the lodges Of the
rocks and the caves Of all the houses
icicles hung in long, close rows, and
every bow and branch and tiny twig
on the trees and branches in the
forests and the shrubs in the garden
were cased in ice, and when the sun
shone on them ii was very beautiful
But at night II was cod-so bitter cold,
and the wind would rise and take the
snow up in its arms and toss IL about in
the soft clouds that blinded peoples
eyes and made them stumble and some
times lose their way, and it was very
! dangerous TO go abroad at night.
when the little boy was one week
old there came dark, dark night, with
snow and wind and terrible Sleet. The
house where the baby's father lived was
in the country and stood in great yard
thaS was almost little park. About
| twelve o'clock there came noise under
the windows of the mothers chamber,
and the dogs howled, and the cat on
the hearth rug sat all her fur on
end. The nurse went 10 the window and
drew aside the curtain, but it was so
dark she could see nothing. Some one
is lost in the storm, and old Bruno is
straining on his chain. she said, coming
back TO the fire, which glowed warmly,
and touching with her feet the rocker
of the cradle where the child was sleep

loe on the same subject, and he in
troduced one to repeal the McKin-
ley tariff bill, which should have
passed the House.
He introduced the first anti-op-
ton bill in the Fiftieth Congress,
and has followed itupwith speeches
and advocacy ever since.
He introduced in the Fifty-frst
and Fifty-second Congresses a con-
stitutional amendment providing
for the election of Senators by the
people, and in this Congress APP
peared before the committee in
charge of it, and argued it in such
a manner as to attract attention
throughout the country. The COM
mittee has reported favorably a
measure in accord with his views
on the subject.
He introduced a bill to repeal the
ocean mail subsidy, which provides
for an expenditure of $35,000,000,
and reported it back favorably from
the Committee on POst-offices and
Post-roads, and has ever since been
trying to bring it to a vote in the
House. He also introduced and
reported back favorably from the
same committee a bill to re-classify
the railway mail service.
After the pension investigation
was devolved on him, he resigned
from the Committee on Post-office
and Post-roads and was unanimous
ly elected chairman Of the Commit
tee on Education.

ness of his Legislative work stamp

cessful legislatorsin Congress. His
power and usefulness have grown

He is always at his post of duty
and always at work. These two
facts account for much of his sue

the Goth of July last, in comment
ing on Mr.. Enloe's speech on the
pension Office, paid him the follow
ing compliment:
"He is familiar with the work of
the Pension Bureau from roof to
ground floor; in fact it might be
said for Mr.. Enloe that in a gen.
eral way he is more familiar with
the workings Of the different execu-
tive Offices of the Government than
perhaps any other member Of the
House. He makes it study to
familiarize himself with the differ
ent governmental departments and
to find out in what manner the peo-
ple's money is being expended"

as much of the attention of the PEG.

He is not half through with thai

is no more important work for the

A Solution of the Land Grant Problem
 for the People to Act On,

MT. Smith has introduced a bill in the House to amend the act establish ing 6 private land court which will, ii he can push it through, be a godsend to settlers on land grants in Arizona and his efforts should be endorsed by strong petitions to congress to pass the bill. The amendment provides that in all cases where a land grapt shall be confirmed by the court of private land claims, the order for confirmation shall expressly except from such Spanish or Mexican grant,
 First t.-All parts or portions of said grant which have been disposed of by the United States.
 Second All tpsrts of such grants as have not been so disposed of, but which have heretofore been taken possession of by any person who has initiated title thereto which would be capable of being perfected if such lands, at the time of location or set clement. had been public lands of the United States. All such claims with in such grants shall, upon confirma- ton of the grant, be surveyed out by the United States and paid for by the occupant or claimant at the same rate that like public lands are now disposed of; and the claimant of the Spanish or Mexican grant shall not be compelled to bring any such occupants or claim ants before the court.

A Splendid Tribute to Tombstone as a
 Place to Spend a Quiet Summer.

Tombstone has hard name which IL has never earned and is not entitled | to. When an eastern man wants to tell blood-curdling tale he locates his hero at Tombstone, and when an eastern paper wants something to fill up with, it draws from pigeon hole some outrageous yarn, dates it Tombstone, Arizona, and sends it broadcast to poison the minds of its readers against the mos aw abiding section of America. The latest story is published in the New York Sun, and purp rts to be a tele- gram from Tombstone, which reads as follows
 TOMBSTONE, Arizona, March 2l- Dutch Henry's band of Mexican horse thieves raided Henry Wither's ranch on the Gsrrita river, recently, driving away all his stock Withers started after the band single-handed, and succeeded in shooting down three of them from ambush before they dis covered that only one man was pur- suingthem. They succeeded Tn cap turing him as he was trying to get away. Death was his sentence but shooting was too easy death.
 Withers was taken out on the hot sand beds and left to lie naked for sir hours, fully exposed to the suns rays. This was not enous h, and he was then carried, still nude. to bed of cactus bushes, where he was laid on the sharp points. He was then bound to stake, and large ant hill which was near was torn open with sticks, and he was left to his fate. insects swarmed out and over Wither's body, and within two hours he was dead from their bites. The ant, did not leave him alone, however, until every particle of flesh was eaten from his bones.
