A Grand spanish Christenine.

At an interesting christening recent
ly in the Spanish village of Heras, near
Santander, although the parents of the
babe belong to the lower orders, the
priests donned their most magnificent
robes and the altar of the village
church was one blaze of light The Al
calde and the other local authorities
were present, for the infant was the
queens godson, child of Maxirnina
Pedraja, the nurse of Alfonso XIII.
Maximina returned short time ago to
her home in Heras. She is a rich wom-
an for one of her class. She has built a
pretty cottage, where her fortunate
husband sits and smokes his pipe and
pretends to be looking after ''his own
property" MaXimina receives ten
pounds q month from the queen, be-
sides other bounties, and her chill
dren will never lack patronage as long
as Maria Christina lives Her oid-fash-
ioned chests OF drawers are full of fine
linens Her necklaces and earrings will
be heirlooms for her little daughter,
the foster sister of King Alfonso.
Queen Christina was much pleased when
Maximina's son was born the other day.
She wrote that she would be the child's
godmother, and that it should be Al
fonso, after the king. That is why the
village of Heras has witnessed such a
grand observation-disclosures Tribune.

Travel in the East.

How wonderful and ever present is
the contrast in eastern travel to all life
and movement at home. No heavy carts
and numbering wagons jolt to and fro
between the farmyard and the fields.
No light vehicles and swift equipages
dash past on macadamized roads. Alas!
there are no roads-and if no roads, how
much less any vehicles or wagons.
Thatched roofs and tiled cottages, lanes
and hedgerows and trim fields, rivers
coursing between full banks, beyond all
the roar and sudden smoky rush Of the
train-these might not exist in the world
at all, and do not exist in the world of
the Persian, straitened and stunted, but
inexpressibly tranquil in his existence.
Here all is movement and hustle, fiux
and speed; there everything is imper-
turbable, immemorial, immutable, slow

The Story OF "NIaud."

Few people knew Tenuyson and his
peculiarities better than did his neigh
bor Mrs Cameron, the well known pho
tographic artist, who made fine series
of character portraits by photography
to illustrate Tennyson's poems. The
history of her search for and selection
of models for these characters is inter
esting. Maud was starving Irish girl,
who served her both as model and wait
ing maid.
The sequel to the story of Mrs. Cam
eron's Maudis too pretty not to be given.
When Mrs. Cameron held her exhibit
ton in London, Maud was sent up with
a chaperon to explain the pictures to the
public. A gentleman came in one day,
and after having asked several ques-
tions left. A year or two afterward he
passed into the Indian civil service, but
before starting for the east he went
down to Freshwater and knocked at
Mrs. Cameron's door, begging for Mauds
hand. The beautiful Maud was willing,
and they were married.-New York

ABS 0lA JTElY PURE

orous blast against the proposed new
county In this section. 1t seems rather
inconsistent that men calling themselves
reformers should attempt to grasp by
the throat and strangle this step to-
wards reform which our new county
movement surely is. We have waited
long and patiently for reform in Los
Angeles county, for we are a farming
community and every dollar we get
hold OF is hard earned money, and the
constantly increasing rate of taxation ia
heavy burden on us and the prospects
for the future are absolutely no brighter
than in the past. for the ponderous ma
chinery OF the Los Angeles county gov
ernment is no longer susceptible OF the
reform that rural community needs.
There are too many idle politicians who
have to live, and this greatly county owes
them living, and they are bound to
have 1T, reform clubs to the contrary
notwithstanding. Now here we are, a
hard toiling community of $4,000 peo
pie, located on stretch of country
about 70 miles east and west by 40 north
and south in the exact center between
Los Angeles and San Bernardino.
Among these people are ecores OF
good men who will accept
the offices of sheriff, clerk, auditor, etc.,
at 500 per month. Our supervisors
will not receive over $25 per month.
We have half.dozen splendid boom
time hotels, any one of which will make
q fine county building, and the town
that becomes the county seat is ready to
donate its hotel for this purpose. In
fact. If we should be permitted to set up
for ourselves we viii establish reform on
scale that your Los Angeles committee
will be able to pattern after with the
most gratifying results; only give US
chance, we won't hurt Los Angeles or
San Bernardino one bit, and will benefit
ourselves immensely. In 10 years we
will have built up county that all
Southern California will be proud OF.
Statistics show that the smaller counties
in the state are all more cheaply gov.
erned than the large ones. We agreed
with the committee sent here last Fri
day from your reform club to abandon
our new county if they could show that
the taxes of Orange county were as high
as Los Angeles county, or ii they would
chow that there was any dissatisfaction
down there with the new county.
Come, gentlemen, throw aside this fool.
ish sentiment, for you have no other
ground to stand on; get down to the
practical, don't oppose us and thereby
estrange US in commercial way, give
us what we ask for. We are not un-
reasonable, and secure for yourselves
the entire trade of this rich section.

Francisco. ENoCH.

BOGUS LOTTERY TICKETS.

A Shop in Chicago Where They Are
Manufactured by Wholesale.
CHICAGO, Dec. 15.-Detectives today
unearthed concern that for a long
time has been turning out thousands of
bogus tickets OF the Louisiana lottery
and others. j. B. Stanger, who was
found on the premises, was held by
the grand jury in $1,000 bonds.
Lithographers' tools and stones
worth $4,000 were found and
immense piles of bogus tickets were
gathered up. Stanger was the only
workman in charge, and who is behind
him is hot known. The counterfeits are
perfect. 1t is estimated that the coun-
terfeiters disposed of half million tick
cts at full price.

THE STREET PREACHER.
His Work is Good and He Should Be
Protected,

His Work is Good and He Should Be
Protected,
Many hoodlums evidently think it is
the correct thing to jeer and laugh at
street preachers. These evangelists are
we'll meaning, and some of them may
come under the classification OF
"cranks," but they are far superior to
those who laugh at them. More people
have become insane over religious dis
cussion and religious belief than over
all other causes added together. But
with few possible exceptions these
evangelists are doing good work. Take
the same men who stand upon the street
corners Sunday afternoons and exhort
the passers to fee from eternal damna-
tion and place them in cushioned pull
pit, and they would be styled "le armed
doctors of divinity" Because they
have no wealthy congregations to ap-
peal to, and do not live in luxury, they
are mainly classified as cranks. But
these evangelists and those who assist
them are well.meaning people. Their
efforts are Christian-like; they receive
no salaries, and that ia the true test of
their good Intentions. N
Generally speaking. a minister's call
is where the largest salary is offered,
and wealthy congregation is preferred,
for "the Lord loveth cheerful giver, /"
and this affords the minister summer
trip to the east, or possibly to Europe.
The street evangelist ''goes forth with
out purse or scrip" into the slums and
dens of the city, where crime and vice is
found in it's hideousness, and attempts
to reclaim the fallen. The evangelist
receives NO pay and perhaps has him
self poorly dined, but he seeks
the welfare OF fallen humanity and
asks no compensation-only the reward
OF Christian worker in the great here
after. The well-fed, sleek minister
breaches from his luxuriously furnished
pulpit to a congregation whose educa-
tion and worldly possessions should in
sure them against sin and crime. He
launches forth his denunciation of the
'sscarlet woman" but does rot descend
to the slums to save her, as is taught by
Divine Writ, and as is practiced only by
the street evangelists. His words are
confined to the denunciation of vice, but
he does not enter the haunts of vice and
reason with it in its stronghold. The
street evangelist proves his faith by his
works, or rather, he proves both. Be.
cause he has no congregation save the
rabbie, and no church save the streets,
1t does not argue that he is not on the
right track. He is as fervent and hon
est in his work and his belief as any
minister more favored by fortune, and
far better than some who preach only
for what is in it. The evangelist is GER
tainly sincere, for there is no other in
ducement than his reward in the next
world.
