Congress Water.

How many people know that out by
the Greenough statue of Washington,
east of the capitol, is a vast and cav
ernous reservoir? Not one in thou
sand, but there it is, down in the bow
els of the earth, and covered deep be-
meath the smooth surface of asphaltum.
Away back in the thirties congress pur-
chased spring over east of the present
site of Howard university. 1t IS now
at the bottom of the unused distribut-
ing reservoir. From it pipes were laid
to the capitol, and in a pond east of the
building the water flowed and was held
for the use of the early Solons of the
hill. In 1876 the reservoir was arched
over and covered in, but there it is, and
if congress has been neglectful of the
city's interests as to a water supply.
the reason is not hard to find. Congress
has its own private tap. Pipes run into
the capitol, furnishing the boilers, cool
ers and water for cleaning purposes.
There is an overflow pipe that runs into
the pretty little grotto below the senate
wing at one side of the main sidewalk
and tinkles over the messy bank in a
miniature cascade. Washington Post.

An Armenian Legend.

Ararat, one of the most majestic
mountains in the world, rises 1900
feet above the vast fiat plain which
bears its name and reigns over the sur
rounding mountains. Early in the morn
ing, while all the valleys of Ararat and
the neighboring mountains are buried
in shadow, the white top of the Scrip
tural mountain CLEANS beautiful in the
first beams of the sun.
The Armenian people tell this story
about the inhabitants of Pharbee:
Once the devil and a Pharbee man
laid wager as to which should first
see the sun. The one who saw it first
was to box the others ears. Very
WELL" said the Armenian, and he lay
down and slept sweetly, while the dew
il, itching to punish his enemy, stood
looking eastward, and with eager eyes
watched the whole night for the sunrise.
Early in the morning, the Pharbee man
rose, and pointing to the top of Ararat,
which was already shining in the sun,
cried joyfully, Il see itp' The devil
was vanquished. The Pharbee man,
with his strong hand, boxed the devil S
ears. Ever since that time, the devil
has been afraid of the people of the Ar
menian village of Woman s

ARTISTS or THE ROUNDUP.
Old Time Texas Cowboys Vastly Different
From Those of the Present Day.

Old Time Texas Cowboys Vastly Different
From Those of the Present Day.
The old time cowboy IS no more. He
! passed in his checks with the free grass
custom. The big pasture has intro
! duced a new order of cowboy, who sleeps
IN a house and "obeys orders" or quits.
The old cowboy was the companion of
his boss and shared his pleasures and
his hardships.
No manager in this big headquarter
Tockhouse reminded him of his inferior
, rank in society, nor did any of the mod
ern ranch accessories mar the common
dangers, the pleasures and the freedom
and equality of the whilom cowboy and
cowman. But the ranch in the olden
time was a cottonwood loghouse to
cook in, and for roof and protection
from the weather the slicker was used,
and mother earth supplied their beds.
The broad range and the overhanging
sky answered for house and home. A
roundup In 1S67-SO was not bounded
by wire fences, but the boys galloped out
of camp after breakfast, made a wide
sweep, and all then drove toward
common center, and lol directly at that
point was gathered herd of stock cat
tie of all brands, ready for the cut to
begin.
The high toned man was tabooed. i
remember such a man appeared at the
ranch of j. T., in Shackleford county,
in 1869. He was city fellow, and
would say THANK you" and such like.
His intense politeness and high toned
nonsense aggravated the boys nightly.
Jim B. in particular-poor fellow
was especially fretted by his nonsense,
as he called 1t, and tried to ridicule it
out of him. but in vain. At last his
resentment ripened into genuine hatred
and it was hard to keep the peace be-
tween them, for the city fellow had
git too.
Well, one morning in 1869, at Noun
tain pass, in Taylor county, long before
any one lived in that section, Jim got
awfully mad and gave the city fellow
cussing, whereupon row resulted and
blodshed was barely prevented there
and then. We got the city fellow to ride
off, and it looked like peace had return
ed, but one hour later Jim B. and his
amiable enemy met off at one side of
the roundup. happened to be near. liz
a flash the city chap ran before jim,
ulSIuOuHISu, leNeleu HIS gun Ol Hill duu
demanded an apology or death.
Jim jerked out two six shooters, but
said nothing, and instantly the city
fellow fired. Poor Jim rolled off his
horse dead man. got to them just
as Jim fell. He died instantly, shot
through the heart. His slayer mounted
his horse and lit out" We buried
Jim and went on with our herd, two
men short, but with no discordant ele-
ment among us.
Such was tine old way. The boys were
courteous and kind, they were gener-
Gus and brave, industrious and honest,
but they would not stand any high toned
nonsense. A new era has set in. Which
is the better we cannot say, but one
thing is sure-with all his faults, and
they were many, the old time cowboy
was man to be trusted in peace or
war and was the very soul of honor

The Ablerate,s Liouor Ruling.

| A Washington special to the Baltimore
| Sun says that Archbishop Satolh refuses
ITO be interviewed by reporters on the
[ question of his recent ruling sustaining
kthe decision of Bishop Watterson of Co
lumbus o., in respect to liquor dealers,
Though he intimates that the time may
soon come when he will have something
to say in respect to that matter. There
is an impression that he has received pro-
/ tests from liquor dealers, though it cannot
be stated positively that he has. 1t seems
! to be understood that the ruling is with
out effect outside Of the Columb bus diocese,
though bishops Of other dioceses might
regard it as defining the attitude of the
CHURCH toward liquor dealers and proceed
to enforce il. If they should do so, a very
considerable stir would be created in the
church, because it applies not only to
saloon keepers but also to all who sell
liquor, either at retail or wholesale.
There are many mem bers Of the church
who are liquor dealers, and not a few of
| them, on account of their wealth, are gen
erous contributors to its support.
Just what Bishop Watterson did was
this: He announced in a pastoral let
ter the suspension of every Catholic So
ciety in his diocese that had amt ng its
officers one or more liquor dealers or sa-
| loonkeepers until such officers had been
replaced by others having no connection
with the liquor business. He also said he
would not approve of any new society that
admitted to its membership anyone en-
gagged in any capacity in the manufacture
or sale of Intoxicating liquors. He. went
| even further, and instructed the priests.
who are under his direction, to refuse alb
solution to any Catholic liquor dealers
who carry on their business in forbid
| den or disqualifying way, or sell on Sun
days, either openly or under any sort of
guise or disguise, in violation of civil law,
and to the hurt of the order and religion,
and the scandal of any part of the com
munity."
| A sweeping and radical ruling like that
raised a commotion, of course, in the
| Columbus diocese, and steps were taken
at once to bring the matter before the
pope's accredited representative, Mgr.
Satolli. The appeal, however, brought
no comfort to those who protested against
the bishops action. The bishop was sus-
tanned, and if the ruling of Mgr. Satolli
should be accepted as the position of the
church on the liquor question the Roman
Catholic church in this country would be
far ahead of any Protestant church in
the matter of temperance
1t is hardly probable, however, that
there will be haste among the bishops to
follow the lead of Bishop Watterson for
two reasons. One is, that they would
meet with aggressive opposition, and the
other is, that there are. said to be bishops
who do not regard with favor the pres
ence of the apostolic delegate in this
| country.
