Bashford and R, Fl. Burmister. Senator Tabor's wife was also a sehoolmate of theirs and classmate of Mrs. R. Fl. Burmister. While looking over the town, Mir. McCourt noticed the sign of the big merchandise store. and on entering, was surprised. but pleased, to meet his old friends, he supn0s;ng that they were in Cali furnia where they first went from their eastern homs. The meeting was pleasant one to all, and several hours were spent together in living old times over again, as we'll as in arranging for the business ofthe Vul- ture mine.

Twenty-Five Yuma parties have volunteered to man an expedition for rescuing these gentlemen, or punishing their Tiburon slayers.

How to Make whiskr.

It is a very simple matter to make an Illicit still. A man who knows how can make one in a very few min utes, and twill cost practically noth- ing. The moonshlner frequently takes an old sprinkling can and sol ders the top on tight. Then he ar ranges bucket of water and cuts a hole near the bottom of the bucket to allow the rubber hose which he will attach to the spout of the sprin- kling can to pass out after he has coiled it in the bucket and thus made a worm. Then he pounds up some corn and puts enough water with 1t to make a mush, fills his sprinkling can, builds 8 fire under it. and there he has still. The steam which arises from the mush is condensed as 1t passes through the hose, and when the condensed liquid trickles out of the other end it Is whisky. Kansas City Journal.

ON MExco's FRONTIER.
Captain Bourke Describes a Typical Rancho
 on the Rio Grande.


 The Mexican rancho, from Laredo clear down to the gulf, adheres strict ly to the one model To describe one Is to describe all, the differences be- ing principally those of size and pop ulation.
 There is always plaza" or 'pla- ceta" in the center. If the rancho be unusually large, there may be two or even three such little squares, which serve all purposes of business, recre- ation, or, when necessary, religious function. From these radiate the streets, unpaved and dusty, some times shaded by the overhanging branches of trees, but oftener left to the full glare of sun and force of wind.
 The two or three petty stores, or ''tendajos," are fond of displaying sonorous names quite as high toned as the prices charged. These may be buildings of stone, but the other structures are mainly of the class called in this section of Texas "teca- ruchos" or ''jacales."
 To make a ''jacal" the owner in- serts half a dozen stout poles of mes quite or ebony or huisachi at the pro posed corners and then fills in with a wattle work, which may or may not be daubed with mud, according to the exigencies of climate. the depth of the builders purse or his sense of the msthetic.
 Inside there may be 0 table, and there may not. Generally there is none. Chairs are never seen, their place being supplied by stools made of an appropriately shaped root.
 Should you seek for carpets, stoves, table ware, kitchen utensils, beds for any of the comforts and conven- fences which the humblest working man demands as right in the more favorable parts of the Union-you would seek in vain. There Is abso- lutely none to be seen. These people live in a squalor and degradation which words cannot adequately DOT tray. Nothing in Ireland or Russia can approach the destitution of the lower Rio Grande, where fortunate ly Providence has been kind enough to grant the finest weather for the poor in all the world.
