no rain came, and the hot sun quivered
and bIistered and seorched the parched
earth, and the cattle died by thousands.
And when Don Luis saw this he
PRAYED to God to take off the curse, and.
praying, counted his gold for he was now
alone with the soul-absorbing passion of
his miserable existence-his ayarice.
The drought lasted all that year and
the next, and when God had taken all
that Don Luis possessed except the
gold that could not purchase one drop of
water in that thirsty land; he was merci-
full to the aged, decrepit, solitary sinner,
and he sent death to end the story:
Lon Luis died alone in his hacienda,
and IL was not until the rains came and
the streams were once more flowing bank
full, and the grass was once again fresh
and sweet and fattening for the herds on
ell TERRA templada, that the vaqueros
ranging across the mesa found his bones
in the charred ruins and ashes of his
hacienda. But his gold had disappeared.
Marauders from the Sierra, it was sur
missed, had come down and taken the
treasure away and destroyed the ac-
cursed habitation with fire,
And now the poems roundabout Quay

the cattle that persisted of thirst in the

these bones to the seaport and sell them
for few centaVos to the coast traders.

The Soldiers Side of the Strike.
From the Chicago Herald.

Carrying gun and shooting when you
are ordered to shoot is business the same
as laying brick or making boiler to the
average regular soldier" said one OF the
prlvates Of the company now guarding the
custom house. These people," he con.
tinued, who call themselves laboring
people, and who jeer at US and insult US,
seem to forget that when a man enters
the regular army in times of peace he
doesn't do it from any particular motive
OF patriotism. 1t is business with him,
and 1t has less Of freedom in it than any
class of labor that l know anything about.
A regular is absolutely under the eye Of
his superior day and night. He can't go
across the street without permission,
He has requirements made of him every
hour IN the day. He updergoes about as

ever heard of, | wonder if some of these
civilians who think proper TO jeer at US
ana insult US, as many have done in Chi
cago, ever stop to realize what we have
done for their welfare and good in other
times l wonder if they think we have
been kept, sometimes for months and
years, away from the civilization which
mas given them SO many advantages |
wonder if they think we are doing this
thing for our healthl The regular pri-
vate is as much of a laboring man as any
now on strike; he is under a contract
the violation of which means disgrace if
not death. And yet it has remained for
US, who have been among Indians and
snow storms and all privations, to come
mere, under orders, to be insulted and
and spitefully used.''

THE COW AND THE BEAR.
An Unequal Fight That Put a Small
Boy to Flight.
From the Worthwhile IN. " Press

Inc NOlbuflllc IN = RreSS.
One Of the most exciting scenes ever
witnessed in our village was enacted on
Tuesday evening on the premises of All
Van Arnam in the presence of a number
of spectators. One of Marcelle Duheme's
young bears was being lee out for evening
exercise by 6-year old John R. Van
Arnam. As he entered the yard of A. II,
Van Arnam, with the bear prancing along
on his hind feet, COW appeared on the
scene.
She gave one look at the bear. and
gathered herself for fight. She drew
all four feet into one spot, and, with
most unearthly below, made for the
bear, and John r. took to his heels for
home. The bear stood his ground for
moment, but as he only stands twenty
inches nigh on his hind feet, was no
match for the COW as she charged upon
him.
Her hideous believing unnerved for
the instant, and he souhgt safety in
lodging, and a game of hide-and-seek
was played for some little time. As the
cow charged the little fellow would dodge
the thrust of her horns and bob up Sc,
renely on his hind feet in the rear with
ferocious growls and wait for the next
onset.
1t was an uneven fight, however, and
the spectators finally came TO the bears
assistance and with difficulty led the COW
away, muttering vengeance on the bear
if she gets another chance at him.
The lawn where the ARRAY took place
is badly torn by the cows hoofs and
horns; John R. is frightened out of at
least six months growth, and the bear
well, he needs little more age and
weight for his next match with the cow.

Railways and Their Guages.
From the Philadelphia Times

rTOH the Allduelplld Times.
Maine has several dime museum ex-
hibitS in the way of narrow-guage lines
so narrow in fact as to pretty nearly
come under the appellation of "ole-
legged roads" of which we used to hear.
The Phillips and Rangely railroad is 20
miles long and two feet wide, and the
Sandy railroad is Is miles long and also
two-thirds of yard wide. There are
one or two more miniature roads of this
gauge in the same state.
1t is far cry from Maine to New Mex
leo, but to illustrate how folks ideas diff
fer and broaden out under more genial
skies, the guide books state that the Sill
yer City and Northern line in New Mex
leo is Is long and the guage is 5 feet 81
inches, four times that of the attenuated
roads of Maine, and nearly double the
standard width of the great trunk lines
which is feet 9 inches. Between these
two extremes there are wide variations
of gauges. The great majority of narrow
gauge railroads are of the uniform width
of feet, and there are several thousands
of miles of track of that gauge now in
operation, although the dreams of enthu-
siasts who prophesied on eventual trunk
line system OF narrow gauge lines all over
the county have been proved chimerical
One by one the narrow gauge roads ara
being converted into standard gauge, and
few II any new railroads are pre-, ected at
the less width.
OF the many Of thousands of miles of
track of the gauge of five feet, which ex-
listed In the south ten years ago, only one
or two unimportant side lines in Georgia
remain. IL would be a long story to re-
late how IN ante-war times the southern
states thought to con6ne cotton exports
to the southern seaports and to encourage
local traffic by putting the bar in the way
of easy communication with the north
through the agency of break in the rail
road gauges which would prevent the in.
terchange of cars. But time brought
ABOUT great changes, and the day came
when, despite the difference in the
gauges, trains of passengers and freight
cars hurried along without transfer, the
end being accomplished by changing the
trucks at junction points.
Inc method, however, soon became too
cum bersome, and at last, accepting the
inevitable, the southern railroad O .ricials
got together and arranged plans which
eliminated in grand united movement
in 1885, when, within two DAYS, thousands
OF miles of tracks were changed from the
gauge of i've feet to four feet nine inches.
The cost was enormous, for, besides the
expense of altering the rails, every en-
CINE and car had to be CORRESPONDENCE
changed.
Like the little road in Georgia above
mentioned, the Sterling Mountain rail!

winch is six feet. is a monument of the
past, recalling the olden DAYS. when the
Erie was famed as the broad -gauge line.
