"Jerusalem, boys," said he. "I'm going to vote for the boy; who'll vote for the girl?"
 From scores of threats came the prompt reply, 1T will!"
 "Well, then, get in line here, and we'll vote out the drunk shops yet These kids are goin' to vote good many times today"
 How quickly ''the boys" got in line. The news of the sudden change spread through the town like wildfire.
 Easy-going and faint-hearted temper ance and christian men, whose cry of "You can't do it," had discouraged many worker, fully expected @ liquor victory, and therefore did not consider it worth while to go. to the polls, heard the story of "the kids," and were at once aroused.
 Business men, who from various reasons had decided not to commit themselves either way, were moved to action, and there was great focking to the polls. | As every voter arrived, he was at once taken possession of by the boys and asked to "vote for the kids" who were now sit ting on a box watching with wonder the long line of voters.
 The liquor anagers tried to turn back the tide, but without avail. The lit- tie children's pathetic appeal had gone down deep into the hearts of that crowd, and no power on earth could induce any of them to vote for the drunk shops," that had made life so dark and miserable and wretched for those innocent children.
 When the result was made known, "No-license" had carried the day by a big majority. The church bells rang out their notes of joy and thankfulness. Bon- fires were kindled in the public streets. That night a grand union meeting was held in one of the largest churches. The "kids'' were on the platform, and the story of the days battle, and how the victory had been won was again related Every heart was touched. A great revival of religion was started and the big listed fellow and the father o the two little children were among tho
 hoI co oohIooS ChoA oAllS nhu SUdIl oH new life. Hundreds of others were con verted.
 "The kids" realized, under the "no-li cense" system, the predictions of theil mother, for their home was transformed into little paradise.

Conn. Farmer: The attempt of the gambling interest to stampede the agri- cultural societies in the hullaballoo raised over the new anti pool law, has been worked for all it is worth, but will hardly accomplish much. President Bill of the State Agricultural Society, who holds al- so the same position in the New London societies will be held as usual, with no variation from the ordinary program. It is reported that in reaching this conclu- sion he acts in harmony with the opinion of ex-Gov. Waller, who is credited with asserting that there is nothing in the new law which can be construed as interfering with legitimate agricultural fairs, or sim liar exhibitions. Mir. Bill is we'll known as prudent and cautious man, with no disposition to invite trouble, but when satisfied that he is right, he goes ahead, and the local societies need not fear to follow. The new law means what it says, and no more, and the gamblers and the other men who hold gambling necessary to the success of horse racing, are the only ones who have cause to find fault
 with it. They will break it down If they can. Let no honest man help them. l Capt. A. P. Loud is a prominent resi-
 dent of Hampden, Me. For 38 years he
 sailed the seas, and upon retiring from I that calling was appointed by the U. s. l government to supelintend its interests in the Alaska seal fisheries, a position he
 held five years. In speaking of his ex- perience he says: "For several years was greatly troubled with nervousness and pain in the region of the heart. It

Ex-Congressman Sherman Hoar tells the following story about his father, the late E. Redwood Hoar My father, as you remember, was attorney-general in Presidents Grants cabinet. He did not care anything for senators or members, and did not hesitate to conceal his indif- ference to them. The consequence. was that the judicial nominations were con- firmed with bad grace, altho, being un- objectionable, they had to receive favor- able action After awhile President Grant nominated my father for place on the bench of the United States supreme court. Was he confirmed? Well, not much. Zach Chandler sat down and wrote a lit tie note to the president. I think, he said, you had better withdraw MT. Hoar's nomination. No man can be confirmed who undertakes to snub seventy-two sen- ators.' That was why my father failed to become one of the justices. He didn't care. He always thought of it as great joke"

The celebrated French poet, Saint-Foix, who, in spite of his large income, was al ways in debt, sat one day in a barber's shop waiting to be shaved. He was lath- cred, when the door opened and trades man entered, whoshappened to be one of the poets largest creditors. No sooner did this man see Saint Folk than he angli- ly demanded his money. The poet con- posedly begged him not to make scene. Wont you wait for the money until l am shaved ?" Certainly" said the other, pleased at the prospect. Saint-Foix then made the barber a witness of the agree ment, and immediately took a towel, wiped the lather' from his face and left the shop. He wore beard to the end of his days. |s

LUSCIOUS FRUITS.
Missing a Golden Opportunity to Make
a Showing at the Worlds
Fair.

For lack of some one individual to
show public spirit enough to make it his
"pertickerler bizzness." Santa Fe, with
her splendid fruit orchards, modern water
system and thousands of acres of cheap
valley lands, is not to have any display
of orchard products at the Worlds fair.
AT any rate, nothing has as yet been done
in this direction, and the time now left in
which anything may be done is precious
short.
limited fresh fruit exhibit has been
sent Oh to Chicago from Eddy, Las Cru
ces, Albuquerque, Bernalillo, Las Vegas
and Ration, and the display made from
these enterprising points is said to be
highly creditable; composed of the best
of all fruits now in season. But the
Santa Fe valley could this year easily
eclipse all previous efforts if only some
one or two or more citizens would take
the initiative.
Such plums, surprising in variety and
size, color and flavor anything ever pro-
duced here; peaches that would create a
sensation even in New Jersey or Della
ware, apples and pears in endless variety
certainly 100 different varieties of pears
are to be seen in Sante Te orchards to-
day these things would go long way,
if properly displayed at Chicago this fall,
toward turning the face of the home
seeker to the Sante Fe valley.
The Worlds fair commission, through
Mr.. Victory, will supply the necessary
GLASS lars for holding SAMPLES of this
choice fruit; DR.. Hermida and Mr..
Dreamer have agreed to furnish the chem
ical solution for preserving them, and
now the question arises who will supply
the fruit? Who will make it his business
to see that the interest of fruit growers is
enlisted in this matter?

the great central valleys from 3D. to 5th,

SETTLEMENT OF TITLES.
Applications for Survey Of Confirmed
Grant Iands-120.0O Acres
Confirmed in Santa Fc
County.

Santa Fe county came off luckily at
the recent session of the United States
court of private land claims, contirma-
lions having been ordered for lands in
this county as follows: Gaia del Rio
grant. 10000 acres; Tacoma grant, $4,000
acres: Sebastian De Vargas grant, $1,000
acres: Canada dc Los Alamos grant, 5000
acres. or q total of 10000 acres. At
this rate it will not be long before titles
in this county will be cleared up.
But the mere confirmation by this
tribunal does not perfect title. Surveys
must be made and boundaries fixed be-
fore order is finally brought out of chaos,
and in order to secure such survey the
grant claimants must make application
to the surveyor generals Office and file
there a decree of the land court in the
premises. After application is made
detailed estimate of the probable cost of
survey is made up and forwarded to the
general land Office and the latter Office
orders the survey, the cost of which is
paid for by the government and it is then
to be reimbursed one-half by the grant
owners whose lands are SO surveyed.
Up to date application for surveys
have been filed with the surveyor gen
eral as follows:
Alameda grant. 06,274S9 acres in Ber-
nalillo county, Alexandra Sandoval and
others claimants: estimated cost of
survey, $500.
Rancho de Rio Grande, 109,043.S acres
