"When the lovers saw they were
pursued, they put their jaded horses
to their highest speed, hoping to es-
cape; but soon they found it was too
late, and as the old Don, with terrible
curses, pressed them closely, they
leaped to the ground, ran to the edge
of the cliff, and, clasped in each 9TH
er's arms, sprang into eternity to-
| gether!
"And the Don? For days he raved

they thought he would be himsef

| they missed him, and several set out
to seek him. He was riding up and
down the edge Of the cliff, yOnder,
raving and blaspheming terribly, and
none of those who had come to find
him dared approach. For hours he
| raved; then, just as the moon came
/ from behind a cloud, they saw him
ride back from the cliff a little dis
tance. Then he wheeled sharply,
and, shouting, Now, my friend, both
togetherv he rode full speed at the
precipice. But at the edge the white
i stallion halted suddenly, and the Don
went over alone. In m;d-air he shook
his fist and hurled a curse at the
| friend who had deserted him at the
last minute; and then and there the
great white stallion turned to stone!
There he stands, Senor-you can see
him plainly, now-still looking over
the precipice Il is from him that the
cliff and the canon get their name.
"And it is said by the superstitious.
senor," continued Pablo, drawing
closer to the fire, and shuddering
slightly, "that on the anniy ersary of
old Don Fernando's' death, and on
Lady Ysabeps saints day, the ghosts
of Lady Ysabel and Jose ride forth
on the plateau, and that Of the old
Don pursues them, riding the white
stallion, which leaves its station at
such times. And-oh, senor, for the
love Of God, lookr'
Startled, looked quickly across the
canon. The rock which appeared sc
very like q white horse seemed to
vanish, as though in mist. Then there
were a series of blood-curdling shrieks
. and curses, and, flying along the edge
of the cliff, rode three persons Oh
, hocseback-and one, behind the 9th

are the rule, while in this country
they are the exception. In fact the
lew good roads in the United States
remind one of an oasis in the desert.
The history of the construction of
good roads in England up to the time
the people took the matter in hand and
went about the work was similar to
that of our own. Macaulay wrote
often in scathing terms of ridicule
about the stage coaches sticking in
the mud and 1T required hundreds of
years for the people there to regard
the matter in it's proper light and put
it into practical operation. When
they inaugurated the work it's practi-
cal utility became at once apparent
and they wondered why they had de-
layed it so long
In Kentucky and Tennessee where
the system of turnpikes prevails it
has proyea an admirable success.
These turnpikes are simply macad-
amized roads constructed by private
parties with a system of toll goteS
But their one defect is the fact that
they are not free to all and paid for
out of the general taxes. These beau
tiful roads are really what have made
the blue grass regions famous all over
| the world. The splendid roads and
! the blue grass pastures on each side
| thereof form a picture which charms
| the eye of everyone who travels
TIN ough that country. Give Buchanan
county such system of roads and
| the transformation will be wonderful
! indeed.
| We sincerely believe that if the peo-
pie of the United States would make
up their minds to use the money they
are eXpending annually in almost a
useless manner on their roads in ju-
dicious and practical way the present
hard times would disappear like the
mists of the morning. 1t would give
work to hundreds of thousands of peo-
pie. We would hear no more OF
CoXey armies and we would not have
thousands of honest workmen aImos
starving because they are unable tt
find work. 1t would open up new
era of prosperity in the United States
1t would bring about genuine prosper
ity in a hundred ways and wha
would the people be paying for it all
Nothing. On the other hand 1t would
be an economical movement tila
would result in the saving of million'
of dollars every year to the people
But, if the people all over the Unite,
States will not now see the great ben
efits to be secured by such a genera
movement Marion county can do s
and make it the garden spot of tn
West She can set the example whic
other counties will surely follow whe
they observe what great blessing
good roads confer upon the people
We desire to continually impress upo
the minds of our readers that ther
is nothing Utopian in all of this, bu
that it is a plain, practical questio
which anyone can thoroughly appre
ciate and understand by giving th
subject proper attention and study.

THE HOP TRADE.

The market continues in pretty
good shape. Exporters have drawn
some new orders from London, and
With the shipments from previous
purchases and Pacific coast stock 60
ing forward on consignments the for
eign business makes a fair showing
this week. Dealings with brewers
have bean on a large scale and the
month of November promises to be
the best for several years. Confidence
is shown by the free operations, and
there is still a willingness to buy when
desirable samples are shown. The
fact that the hulk Of the stock both in
this country and Europe is of a lower
quality than was indicated at the
opening of the season niklle
dealers as We'll as brewers think
pretty well of choice hops. For
very high grade rich, clean, bright
and, silky-12c is asked and OCCASION
ally obtained, but most of the stock
classed as choice sells at lie, and me-
dunn to prime grades range from to
10c. More business has been done in
yearlings aud best grades are firm.
Buying in the country was quite free
during the early part of the week,
but it has seemed to be little quieter
toward the close; prices. however, re-
main unchanged. London cables re-

THE OLD BRUSSELS CARPET.

Oh, drear to our hearts are the sad
days of springtime,
When the annual housecleaning re-
ours to our view,
When we sleep ON the sofa and eat
off the mantel,
In an atmosphere strongly suggest
i've of glue,
We think of the stovepipe, the SCOT
that came with it,
Likewise the profanity, fluent and
fine.
But saddest and bitterest of all rec
elections
Is the dusty old carpet that hung on
the line.
Oh, that dusty old carpet,
That rusty old carpet,
That musty old carpet,
That hung on the line!
We remember how, armed with a
1.-the flagelator,
In the morning we blithely advan-
ced to the fray,
In the muscular pride of our heart
little dreaming
That cleaning that carpet would
take the whole day.
We sweat, and we swore, and our
hands badly blistered,
While the sun lent his countenance
warmly benign,
But the harder we pounded the more
it was needed
BY that dusty old carpet that hung
On the line:
Oh, that dusty old carpet,
That musty old carpet,
That cussety old carpet,
That hung on the line!

THE SAME OLD GAG.
But 1t Is Changed Around Just a
Tritie


The tin box game is practically th"
same the world over. There are 81
few trifing variations. but the sharper
usually gets in his work along the
same old line. The latest story is
from Chillicothe. Ohio:
BY a bold game William Jones was
bunkoed out of $1,000. Mr.. Homes is
one of the wealthiest farmers of that
county. A stranger drove up to Hff.
Jones' residence, and when he met
Mr.. Jones introduced himself as n
Mr.. Smith, of Columbus, and repre-
Sented that he was related to George
Fl. Smith. a well-known capitalist Of
that city, and that, being desirous OF
purchasing Il farm, his relative had
recommended him to see William 4.
Jones, who might be able to accomino-
date. him. Mr.. Jones stated that he
was not particularly anxious to sell
his farm, but was assured by Mr..
Smith that there would be no trouble
between them in coming together on
a price, provided the farm suited him.
Mr.. Smith asked to be shown over
the place and Mr.. Jones got in the
buggy with him. and they spent an
hour or more driving about the farm
AS they We're driving along the road
returning to the house Mr. Smith ex-
pressed bimSelf as being delighted
with the farm. and said it was just
the sort of place he had been looking
FOR for sometime. They We're dis
cussilg the price when they. met a
stranger coming toward them. walk
ing along the read. The. stranger
stopped them to inquire the distance
TO Bonneville. and the trio were soon
engaged in conversation. The stranger
was very 1oquacious and entertaining.
He said his name was Jones and ha
lived in Tennessee. and was delighted
10 find that one of his new acquaint-
ances bore the name of Jones. Tho
Tennessee Jones stated that he wa;
up in. this country for the purpose OF
buying a farm. and when Smith said
that was his mission there the coin
cidence caused considerable merri-
ment and joking between the two.
"Wbat have you got to buy a farm
with?'' interrogated Smith of the Ten
nessee Jones.
"I have the money and plenty of it.
right here" replied Jones, at tho same
time indicating by tapping his fingers
on a tin box under his arm.
'How much have you @ot?" was the
next question put by Smith, and the
answer came back:
"Tifiteen thousand dollars"
As the bIdgering continued it was
plain to be seen that the victim Of
the game was becoming very much
interested.
81 don't believe You have $4,000 in
that box" was the bantering remark
of Smith.
"Well. I will just bet you $4,000
that 1 have that amount" promptly
answered Jones.
Lets take him up" proposed Smith
to Farmer Jones. II have $1,000. and
if you have $1,000 we'll just bet that
sucker and take all he's got, for j
know that box hasn't got any $15,-
OOO.''
Farmer Jones was a goner, and took
the bait hook and all. The only
drawback was that he had. not that
amount of money at home, but he
eagerly took up with Smith to come
to town and get it from the bank.
Bunkcist JoI es agreed TO remain
where he was while Smith and Farm
er Jones drove to the city to get the
money. The Journey was made as
hastily as possible. and Mr.. Jones
