OFF FOR MARS.
She Wanted q Passage Reserved TO


She Wanted q Passage Reserved for
Her.
The Great Interplanetary Transporta-
tion company had opened its offices for
business and the passengers had begun to
arrive at the station. The people were
taking these flights through the air to
Mars and Venus for various reasons.
There were few "drummers" among
chem from business houses more enter
2rising than their rivals, but the freight
rates to the planets are so high that only
the lightest class of goods can be sent with
profit.
Those who made travelling pleasure,
and about their only occupation, were out
in force, as usual. "Globe trotters" they
used to be called, from their proclivities for
going around the only planet with which
they were familiar at that time. They went
around and around, apparently looking
for place to jump off. The Interplane-
tary Transportation company has fur
nished them with means of doing so now,
and they take periodic flights to Mars and
Venus instead of rambling through the
graveyards of Europe, as they did before
the days Of airships, which travel with
lightninglike rapidity.
The Tribune reporter was sitting in the
office of the ticket agent when woman of
no uncertain age came up She seemed to
be embarrassed, and looked around nerv.
ously to see If there was any one near when
she approached the ticket window She
inquired the prices of different classes of
passage to Mars After much beating
about the bush she inquired in a shy way
about the seasons on Mars.
"Their year is nearly twice as long as
ours" said the agent among other things
"Ah-er-you are sure about that?"
about whatS"
"That is, are you sure that the year in
Mars is twice as long as it is here?"
"Oh, certainlyw
"Ah-er-um-then- isl suppose
a person who is fifty here-er-would be
only twenty-five thereS"
The color came and went in her face as
she asked this question, and she looked as
eagerly at the face of the agent as if he
were whole jury whose next words were
to decide whether she were to live or die.
Yes, you are right, miss" he said, hold
ing his eyes upon the diagram before him.
"Then I'll take a passage on the very
next ship" she replied, "and don't fail to
reserve it for me-" and she went out with
radiant smile on her face.-New York
Tribune.

DO Not BE Deceived.

Persons with weak lungs those who
are constantly catching cold should veal
an Allcock's Porous Plaster over the chest
and another between the shoulder blades
during cold weather. Remember they
always strengthen and never weaken the
part to which they are applied. Do moi
be deceived by imagining any other
plaster like them-they are not-may
look it, but looks deceive. Insist always
on having Alcock's, the only reliable
plaster ever produced.

Great attitudes furnish q gymnasium
where the respiratory organs are compelled
TO be exercised, and, consequently become
larger and more efficient.
Altitude, also, prevents instead of inducing
hemorrhage, as was the old opinion. This
fact has been well established by experience
and observation.
Prof. M. w. Harrington, chief of the o. 8.
weather bureau, says:
Santa Fe lies in the driest part of the
United States. This region is extensive, but
changes in form from season to season.
Santa Fe is always in it, however.
THE WATERS OF SANTA FE.
DR.. J. =. Banter vice-president Of the
American Health Resort association says:
ut is worth travelling miles to drink of
such waters as flow through this deep cut in
the mountains and supply the city of Santa
Fe for domestic purposes and for irrigation
of the fruit farms. The water is absolutely
pure, cold and fresh from the melting
SHOWS above, or trickling from springs in
the mountain side. 1t is free from all lime,
alkali or other ingredients SO very injurious
to the consumptive patient. Such water is
a great boon anywhere and at any time, but
here, where other features of sunshine and
pure air combine to produce an ideal
climate, 1t Is Of special value"
