barley and 80 per cent. on malt, less than
one-quarter the present duty. The Re-
publican amendment placed q specific
duty of % cents on barley and 81 cents
on malt, and on an aye and nay vote,

The tide of tariff reform is march
ing on and every day we read of the
depressing influences on business
caused by the policy of the Democrats
in congress. Watertown has suffered
nothing in comparison with many
other places which might be named,
but even here there is much to make
Cleveland and his party's policy I'M
popular. There are two or three hum
dred men here at least who were a
year ago at work on full time and at
good wages, who are now out of a job
or working shorter hours or for re-
duced pay. Many of them are Demo-
Gratis who are simply reaping the re-
wards of their foolish action in voting
for "a change" without know wing what
it implied. They were promised bet
ter times by the demagogues of the
Democratic party who talked it from
the platform and published it in their
newspapers, that the election of Cleve-
land would bring "a golden era of
prosperity" such as they had never
known. Too late they have learned
the folly of being led away by such
nonsensical talk, and many of them
are firmly resolved to rectify the mis-
take they made in '92 by voting the
Republican ticket in '94.

 You typlfy gallantly your noted western hospitality. Mr. Wilkes she replied, with glance which searched as only an intense woman's eye can search for the true color of soul-a q mans soul.

 If Donald Wilkes was at all impres- slonable, he was impressed, deeply too. with Herr Ludwig's fair patroness. As ne sat in his study the evening af ter their visit he took Miss Templeton through minute analysis. "Yes, there is that indefnable element about this woman of which Jack used to speak so often. cannot fathom it any more than 1 can breathe out those great brown eyes or singe her hair with love song. Her bearing is that of an assured faun; her every act is elegance portrayed. She's highly bred-that

 Somewhere about week thereaf- ter, on a Sunday afternoon, a carriage drew up by the gates of Valemoor. The coachman alighted, trayersed the walk along the cypress hedge, and, the bell, presented Miss Tem- pleton's card at the door. Alfredo received the salutation, and notified his master, who greeted the lady in her carriage.
 Will you join me in a drive, Mr. Wilkes? l have chat for you"
 The vehicle was crunching over the Scipio road past delighting forms of growth and color It was a balmy afternoon in May. As Wilkes sat there in the magnetic light of this fra grant personality, the power of speech was not in him; instead, keen, nerv- ous excitement of the brain whirled him in a mental turmoil which was only dispelled by silent attention to his companions voice.

What better retreat, what sweeter respite could she embrace than become the mistress of a Califor- nia Eden, close to her relatives who lived in San Diego. She would have her Spanish maid whose sunrise greet ing would be "buenos dias, senoritas' whose evening enchantment of her mistress boudoir would be tWanging the ''peypah" and whose songs would be to the memory of Alessandro.

 The letter was written on the oDpO- site blank side of the sheets of some letters received that week. As Don aid read the composition to his sick charge, a torturing shade of anguish tinged Jacks face Then as the read ing proceeded, tear ran athwart the sufferers cheek; then slow, nervous moaning followed attended by fre- auent cOnvulsiOns. It was indeed a pathetic scene of which the letter to Inez partook, despite the writer's eff fort to conceal it. Presently, Jack had composed himself again. While Donald searched the height and depth of all creation for an envelope, Alfredo stole into the room and kneeling be- side his sick master, kissed the trem- bling hand, already pallid and infirm. The Indians caress aroused the pa tient. Jack felt vitality ebbng. "IIere. my good Alfredo. hand me that pencil" The Indian obeyed Writing his sisters address in tremu- lous characters, on the margin of Don aids letter, he directed Alfredo to ride to the town, ask the postmaster to address m envelope and dispatch the letter. It was Jacks last adios. He died in agcnizing throes an hour be- fore Alfredo's return.
 The following night four stalwart forms moved silently, stealthily across the fragrant plains of OloroSo. The edge of the great desert was as black as the tombs. As each man engaged his turn in digging Jacks sepulchre, the others extolled his virtues, nar- rated his courageous exploits. As each story about Jack noated it's hol- low echo upon the desert wind. the voices intoned mournfully Of this ill- fated youth. The rude box was low cred, and as the sand fell upon the lid an equal weight was buried in the hearts of this sad and solemn com pany.

Here the young man ac- quired an estate that for natural and cultivated beauty was unsurpassed in all that region. From beyond the San Gorgonio pass the majestic San Jacinto glistcncd in the sun.

 into that luxurious bachelor life that
 delights in good books, fine pipes, rare
 wines, gentlemen ''at hOmes," smOk-
 ing chats, fishing and hunting par
 ties, with an occasional intellectual
 treat grafted from the Vendome club,
 of which he was a member. There
 would be no more tamale vendors, no
 more frijole fiends; nor would his fair
 Arizona senOritas have to confess to
 Padre Mateo; and if his black-eyed and raven-tressed housekeeper insist ed upon falling befcre "Madre Dios, !" why, that was her privilege in her own apartment. Good cheer and independence ad libitum" was the motto over the mantel.
 About two years after Wilkes ad- vent into this serene and contented life and about the time of the ustulation of the Arizona fields, and after he had graciously identified himself as one of the genial men of Southern California society, he met at the NendOme club, one Ludwig Schwein. an Austrian speculator in lands, or bonds, or the affections of young women of approved fortunes. It mattered but little to Herr Ludwig what his ventures jug gled, so long as the 'summum bonum' was that of the very same Herr Lud- wig.
 "You will sell the ranche, my goot Wilkes? An, you are wise. And l pe- lieve l can serve you with an eastern buyer; a lady, la-dy who longs for the fields and flowers and ventures of this

 Ludwig Schweins business carried him frequently from one coast to the other. In New York one month, ca reering with club men. brokers, diplo- mats, foreigners; the next would note his residence in California. He was shrewd man, whom you might run clothes wringer and not see an issue of the milk of human kind ness. His was a marked Sagacity and Q keen perspicacity. Much of his for tune he owed to his ability to see the water at the bottom of an arteSian well in the Santa Clara Valley, long before there was any well or any bottom.

They propose to exhibit horses on
showshoes at the Fair, substituting a
bed of quick sand for snow. The pro-
jectors of this show fancy that it will
be startling novelty. It's a common
think here. Our horses are SO used
to snowshoes that many will not travel
without them, even in summer, when
they are great help in crossing the
deep sands between here and Bodie.
In rare instances this awkward-looking
foot gear, by some inexplicable pro-
cess of nature, has become a part of
the horses anatomy; in proof of which
we may state that a mare owned by
Judge Mattiv gave birth to a coltwith
snowshoes on. With this for a starter
he proposes to propagate breed of
horses which is peculiarly adopted to
snow regions. Homer Index.
