mot On Calvary" THE News
has received the above entitled book
from the publishers, the Chas. T.
Dillingham; Company of 7I8 and TAO
Broaeway, N. Y. The author signs
himself as "a layman" and gives the
book as his plea for mediation in the
temptation in the wilderness. In the
advertisement ii says that mot on
Calvary is new hope for those who
have lost faith, new light to those
who wrongly believe that God ever
sends suffering, new peace to those
who suffer through bereavement"
Like every other religious work.
"Not on Calvary" has been assailed
by some orthodox clergymen and by
others endorsed. 1t in no way is OPP
posed to religion, but on the contrary
is a strong supporter. A quotation
from the same advertisement noted
above will explain how the work came
to be written.
Mr.. Ingersoll recently asserted in
an address that God could not be

A DASTARDLY DEED.
A boy is Caught Using Live Mock
ing Birds for Bait.

ing Birds for Bait.
There was an act of cruelty and
vandalism seen on the banks of the
Brszos yesterday the like of which is
fortunately rarely seen. A boy who's
name is known was seen to bait his
hooks with young mockiug birds
which he had taken from the nest.
This embryo Nero would thrust the
cruelty barbed hook through the bills
of the little bird and would throw
them quivering and trembling into
the water as living bait for cat fish.
The hooking bird is of sociable
nature and is always TO be found in
towns and near the residences. 1t is
entirely harmless and is always
singing his merry song both
day and night. The human
who could descend to SO low a stage
as to use any kind Of live bait much
less an innocent little hedgling should
scorned of his fellow men. The boy
who was guilty of SO villainous an &C
should be severely punished. The
act was witnessed by three other boy
who were SO Mortified that they qui

DANCING UNDER DIFFICULTIES.

M>xlcau Women Are Charming, but Their
Lovers Are Unpleasantly Jealous.
A theatrical man was relating some
OF his experiences the other day. and he
told story of a narrow escape he had
in the west.
II was ahead of an opera company
which was playing on the Pacific coast
few years ago." said he, "and one day
l struck a town on the Mexican border
where L came near remaining perma-
nently, as after events showed There
was Mexican ball being held that
evening, and, in company with the local
manager and party of young fellows,
l dropped in to see the fun.
II had heard a great deal of the
beauty and manners of Mexican women
and was curious to get peep at greaser
society. The dance was in full blast
when we arrived and we had not been
there long until we decided to take a
hand in the fun. A pretty little senor-
ita, with great lustrous eyes that would
make man mad if he looked at them
too long, attracted my attention, and
without the formality of an introduce
tlon l asked her for dance. She ac-
cepted and we whirled through a waltz
which she seemed to enjoy as much
as /.
'She was as light and graceful as she
was handsome, and when 1 seated
her l took occasion to engage an
other dance, which was followed bv
another. 1t was case of smltten.

interrupted my dream by taking me to
one side and saying: See here, do YOU
want to get us all into trouble? If YOU
don't you had better take walk
out of this place right away while
you're in good health asked him to
explain and he did so. DO YOU see
that greaser over there? Well he's the
lover OF that young girl you've been
flirting with and he's been watching
you with bad eye. There's going to
be trouble here soon if we don't get

Nonsense I replied: what do
care for the whole gang of yellow

gagged with my little charmer and I'm
going to have it. As the music struck
up the senorita and I started out, but
we had only danced few measures
when the circus began. Bang! went a
revolver shot and volley followed.
The lights went out, my partner
screamed and left me and matters got
very interesting in very short space OF
time. At the first shot dropped to the
floor, and as the crowd was in the mid.

cropping my way to the wall and finding

enough, he said, TO sell Father,
mother, Anna, just come out to see

family, including. of course, the pet
lamb, adjourned to the garden.
There they feasted their eyes upon
the deeply-ribbed, yellow musk and
shiny green watermelons which, still
reposing among the luxuriant vines,

on and go to town all alone tomorrow
We shall see what kind of trader you
will make"
The eager boy retired early to bed,
SO as ito make morning come quickly"
and the first beams of the rising sun
had hardly kissed the dew-laden vines
when he was on the spot, ready to
pluck the first fruits of his harvest.
Then, oh, horror! he stared in amaze
| ment rubbed his doubling eyes and
looked again and again, until the sad
truth forced itself upon his brain. The
tender foliage was not in any way dis
turbed or injured, but every fully ripe
melon was gone! Sobbing now with
grief and disappointment, poor Toby
ran back to the house and reported his
loss.
IAN enemy hath done this thing"
observed the angry deacon, and at fam
lily worship that morning he earnestly
prayed that "all evil doers might be
broug hit to confusion"
After breakfast, Anna and her lamb
wandered off as usual, while Toby and
his father went out to the despoiled
melon patch with view of tracing the
thief if possible. For some time their
search was in vain, but by and by they
discovered, just on the soft edge of an
onion bed, the imprint of naked foot.
No tracks, however, were to be found
on the hardened walks, and. for awhile,
the amateur detectives were at fault.
At last, upon extending their beat,
they came to field planted with pota-
toes; and here, between the rows,
prints of the same foot were numerous,
and all appeared to lead off toward the

So, off through the solemn pines
went father and son, the one intent
upon summary vengeance and the other
secretly hoping in his young, compass
