SAT ON THE HOT RAILS.
A Band of Apaohes Given Surprise on a
 Santa Ee Train.

SduVd re 1rain.
 For real hot weather stories you want to go to hot weather country" says W. F. White, passenger traffic manager of the Santa Fe railroad. Now you can find hot weather that is hot weather in New Mexico and Arizona. It's one thing to go through tbat country now on train which carries tho oonveniences for keep ing cool, but it was quite another thina when the railroad was being built and there was nothing between you and the sun but fiery alkali dust
 "The Atchison road reached Deming, N. M., in 1881, and it was hot summer. It had been hot right along for days in that steady, energetic fashion that would make man wish for an hour in Besse- mcr steel mill to cool of. The first con. struction train pulled into Deming on a day that was so scorching as to stand out even among those other blistering days. Tho train was made up of long line of fiat cars and along the center of the cars ran pile of steel rails foot high. The rails had been in the full glare of an un.s blinking sun until they were about as hot as when they first calno through the rolla at the mill.
 When the train came into Deming it was, of course, ansobject of great interest, and no one was more interested than lot of Apache Indians. They were peaceful enough and filled with curiosity and were quick to assert the birthright of the Amer ican Indian to ride free on a railroad train. Tho conductor in charge was something of joker and saw an opportunity for some fun. He urged the Indians all to climb up on tho flat cars and have ride. Tho engineer was in the scheme, and as soon as the Indians were up on the cars, he backed his engine with jerk They could ride bucking pony under any con dition of unstcadiness, but this motion was new to them, and the entire party sat down on the rails.
 Now, you must remember tho summer costume of an Apache can be cut out of a pocket handkerchief, with cloth to spare We'll, my idea of Indian stoicism was shat. tered. There Were shricks that added new notes to tho regulation warwhoop, and the Apaches left that train and started of. across the hot sands in way that wouldl havo turned us all gray if they had been coming toward us instead of running away. They undoubtedly to this minute remember that as the hottest day they ever know. "-Chicago Tribune.

Innocent of Plot,

In the time of William III MT. Tren- donham, a poot, was taken before the Earl of Nottingham on suspicion of having treasonable papers 1T am only poet, I" protested the poor man, ''and these pages arc only my roughly sketched play"
 The earl, however, carefully looked over the papers in question before liberating the poet Finally he returned the sheets to the delighted author.
 1T have heard your statement" said the earl gravely, land I have read your play. As cannot find the least trace of plot in either the one or the other, you may go free"
 With this unflattering tribute to his in nocence, tho poet departed with his plot less play.-New York Telegram.

 A Gamblers Superstition.
 They were playing quiet rubber oi whist and had called for new deck of cards. One of the players was an old timer, card player of years of experience, and he took up tho old wornout pack and put them on the window sill. "Throw them in the ffre,'' said the young man who was his partner. "What" said the elder, 'throw pack of cards in the flrei Young man, you don't know what you are talking about. I wouldn't do it foi . S1 ,00O." "Why not?' Superstition, was the answer. Burn a pack of cards, and they'll never give you another hand and will mock you to the last They're bad enough at best, but yorl never saw gambler curse the cards or abuse them or burn them or otherwise i'll treat them. He doesn' t dare to- l know a successful card player who did it. He was dwelling on velvet then. In Q year he was beg gar, and he never won q game worth men. tioning forever after. It's a whim, but the gentlemen of the cloth of green respect it. They won't burn pack of cards. ''- Lewiston Journal.
