after the opening Of tho Sonorl Rail

was quietly passing down the street one
day, when gang OF drunken greasers
threw lariat about my neck and l was
brought to earth with jar. The tele'
graph liue was in course Of construction,
the pc les being up, but the wires not
yet strung. Toward one OF these poles
with its cross bar the Mexicans dragged
me over the stony street, while crowd
quickly gathered and began to pelt me
with pebbles. l was rapidly choking to
death. managed to fish out my jack
knife and cut the lariat, and as got on
my feet pulled my revolver and began
to shoot. In ten second had the street
to myself, but realized that the treaca-
erous natives would soon begin to
bushwhack me and l hurried down
toward the railioad hoping to find a
mustang to carry me out of danger. !
found no mustang, but locomotive and
four fiat cars loaded with telegraph poles
on the main track. The engineer had
left the cab, and lazy Mexican fireman
was loungin9 out of the window. l
jumped into the cab aud pulled open the
throttle. The Mexican raised his voice
in protest, but covered him with my
empty revolver and ordered him to fire
up. It was tifty-four miles to Nogales,
on the Arizona line, and made it in an
hour and ten minutes. Once across the
line | was all right, aud as didn' I

THE EIGHT-H0UR LAW.
An Increased Cost to the Government
of from 10 to % Per Cent,

The hearings before the house committee
on appropriations and the estimates submit
ted to it on the various appropriations for
public works have developed the fact that
the cight-hour law, passed last session, has
resulted in an increased cost to the govern
ment OF from 10 to 25 per cent. Attention
to this increase was called by the lighthouse
board in its estimate for lighthouses, and
since then the appropriation Committee has
had the fact that the law is costly impressed
upon 1t forciby. There Is no likelihood
that the increase will result in any agitation
on the part Of ultra-economists for the re-
peal of the law, but 1t is not unlikely that
the amount OF public work provided for will
be even smaller than was anticipated.

Our Nightly Brain Repair.

Little is known about sleep as phys.
biological phenomenon. A new theory,
proposed by Herr Rosenbaum, supposes
that it is induced by an increase OF the
water Of the nerve cells. The greater
the hydration, the less the irritability.
Chemical change during activity brings
about the hydration, small part of the
water escaping through the lungs during
the period OF wakefuluess, but most Of
it being eliminated during sleep, and re.
placed With the assimilable substances of
the body. Intelligence Is in inverse
ratio Of the proportion of water in the

1t is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is

The purest baking powder makes the finest, sweet

That baking powder which is both purest and

Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
of the baking powder which will give her the best

Avoid all baking powders sold with Q sit

as they invariably contain alum, lime or sui

Certain protection from alum baking powders
