his seat to self-possessed young woman
with gold-rimmed eyeglasses, and stood
patiently in the aisle cheered somewhat
by the reflection that she had Thanked
him.
In one of the side seats short dis

car was warm he had removed his coat.

and it was not l)ng until he attracted
the attention of the young woman with
the gold-rimmed eyeglasses.
Drawing from soma hiding place
known only to herself small blank book
and lead pencil she began to make a
sketch of him. Little by little it grew,
under her skilful fingers, notwithstand-
ing the motion of the car, into striking
likeness. She was no beginner, this
young person. She was an artist and
portraiture evidently was one of her
specialties. The sketch attracted the no.

Great are the uses of the phonograph

lecture into the d. vice at his leisure, and
the members OF his class can suit their

Why Stock-GroNinp Paxa.

The English say they raise stock to buy more land to raise more grain to feed more stock, etc. No grass, no cattle; no cattle, no manure; no manure, no grass. This is a rotation which will pay well. Live stock is our chief reliance in maintaining the fertility of the soil. While the raising of stock will enrich our soil and re- new it's produetiveness, it will market the farm products better than to ship the feed away. While grain-growing is taking from the soil and at the same time growing more unproftable our hope is in stock breeding. Breed CTS Gazette.

A TRIBUTE TO SECREST.
A Flag at Goldfield Floats at Half
 Mast.

A Flag at Goldfield Floats at Half
 Mast.
 A remarkable incident, perhaps with out parallel in the history Of crime IS the token of respect displayed by hls late associates to Thomas N. Secrest. As soon as the news of his death was received at Goldfeld a flag over the mining works where he had been em- ployed was hung at half mast and hoated or dropped during three days.
 Here was a man whose last deed, suicide, was preceded by the most hor- ribIe crime within the range of human imagination, wife murder. Nobody stopped to inquire the cause. He was remem bered in the mining camp only for his industrious and blameless life there, for they said he was g man al- most without fault, and they pro- usually done only to those who have rendered great public service or have earned popular veneration. It IS all the more wonderful that the men at Goldfeld are men of good standing and intelligence and that the camp is said to be far superior to the average mining camp in point of order and morality. If any thing like this ever occurred be- fore no record has been made of it.
 The only possible explanation of this phenomenon, for things that seldom happen and when they do happen are difficult of explanation are phenomena, is that when Secrest left Goldfield he was loved and honored man and on the way to Phoenix became demon by a process as mysterious as that which changed the good Dr. Jekyll to the devilish MT. Hyde.
 The men of Goldieid never knew the demon. Their tribute was paid to him whom they had known, the respected and honorable MT. Secrest.

The last payment was in respect to Florida land. The largest single honorarium was $7,500 In February of the fourth year &, 1000 is set down as bestowed in a case of Trin- ity church (New York;. In turning over this record leading metropolitan and even provincial lawyers are astonished that Webster, already twenty years in Boston, so undervalued his services He learned better at last. When Rob- ert c. Winthrop looked up the earliest date he said: That's just the time I was ending my studies in Webster's office" and the chirograph led him to add that Webster never wrote a firm hand.

Origin of a Bad Habit.

A horse that never gained his liberty by breaking his halter never became halter puller, says a practical writer Poor halters or brides have always been the cause of horses acquiring the habit of breaking loose. It is, there fore, of the utmost importance that whatever colt is tied with it is be- yond his power to break. If the first few attempts to free itself are in vain there is very little danger of the colt trying the experiment soon again. When horses have once become accus- toned to breaking loose the best way to break them is to fasten them secure ly with strong straps or ropes and then give them an opportunity to pull away until they get tired of the sport A few lessons of this kind WI some times break them of the habit As the habit is one of the worst that horse can contract, every precaution should be taken to prevent it, or, when once contracted, it should be broken up as speedily as possible.

A Little Leather-Covered Book That Gives
 His ReceiDts.

One of our correspondents has been so lucky as to fall in with little leather-covered book, like those of bank depositors, winch contains Dan iel Webster's autograph record of his legal receipts, This chronicle, says the New York Evening Post, fills twen- weight pages and extends little more than from 1888 to 1886, inclusive. The first entry, dated September in the former year, is of $50, and the second is of SEQ, for retainers on the New Hampshire circuit. The first fee of $1,00o was paid in May, 1884, by a Mrs. Badger. Services regarding Gil ley's will commanded $500. The total amount for the first year was footed up as S13, 40, with the remark: "Septem- Der p, 1884, thus done and concluded. :" A similar summing up appears at the

THINKS SHE'S A SISTER.

latlOnShfp to MrS. S6CreST.
 Justice Kincaid yesterday received a letter from man named D. R. Craft, an employe of the Southern Pacific at Sanger, Cal. containing an inquiry concerning the Secrests. He has reason to believe, he says, that the murdered woman was a sister of his wife. He is particularly anxious to learn if she was in her right mind immediately before death and if she made any statement. If so. he inquiries the character of it.
 He also wants to know the full name of Secrest and his wife and what has become of their son, Barry. The jus tice is requested to send the finding of the coroner's jury and copy of a newspaper containing complete ac- count of the tragedy. There were no explanations in the letter which might serve to establish the relationship that the writer speaks of. Both the Secrest boys were out of town, having gone to Goldfeld yesterday morning. But it is doubtful if they could have thrown any light on the matter, es the elder of them was only ten years old when they left Ohio and the family had heard lit tie and seen nothing of any of their rel atives since.
