BETTER THAN A BANK ACCOUNT.

A Mexican grandee, whose name is Don
Alcazar de Chilicolorow, owns famous
mine of inexhaustible riches in the state
of Chihauhau. 1t contains a high grade
silver ore and is so rich that whenever the
don and his sonora run short of money
they simply direct the head peon to gather
together his delegation of II or 13 serfs
and their equally patient and uncomplain-
ing fellow serfs, the burro. Then the don
mounts the head burro and the procession
takes the trail for the family mine, as it is
called The mine has been in the possess
ion of the don and his ancestors for the
past three centuries. 1t is nothing but
rude tunnel in the mountain side The
entrance to the tunnel is securely barri-
caded with heavy timber doors which are
securely locked with three old Spanish
locks, the KEYS to which are always in the
possession of the don. When the mine is
reached, the don unlocked the doors. He
then directs his body servant to swing his
hammock beneath the branches of a mas
sive tree standing at the entrance to the
mine, which was well grown sapling
when the first don of the family discover
ed the mine 300 years ago.
The poems are then set to work getting
out the rich silver ore, which they put in
to baskets slung upon the backs of the
burros 1t is but the work of five or six
hours to get out ore that will be worth
J.lS l., 6 l,ll Tl,
free milling ore and it is no trouble to
work it. While the ore is being taken out
of the mine and put into the baskets, the
don is lying in his hammock leisurelv
smoking cigarettes. When the baskets are
full, the don manages to pull himself to-
"ether long enough to lock up the mine
and seal the entrances, and the cavalcadc
then starts back and goes straight to Chi
hauhua, - miles away. As soon as they
arrive there the don sells the contents of
the baskets, for which he receives from
$4,000 to $4,000 in cash in Mexican
money. He gives his poems liberal tip
besides their mcager wages, which they
divide, like the conscientious poems they
are, between the church and the pulque
merchant and reserve a modicum to keep
themselves and their families partly cloth
ed and fed until the don holds the next of
his grand rallies, which occur four or five
times year. The don owns a magniti-
cent hacienda, has Il lovely wife and two
beautiful daughters who have all the pride
of the true Castiians. The hacienda con
tains over 5000 acres and is one of the
principal highwars leadin" out Of Chhu
ahua. upon which, like most of the land
ownsrS of the count..y, he pays little or no
taxes.

HOW SHE WORKED THE TRAMP.

He was a tramp and he didn't look as if
he was fond of work, but he had a really
artistic tale of woe to unfold to the kind
woman who met him at the door He had
suffered all his life. His parents had died
before he was born; he had wished all his
days to be minister, but he could not get
money enough to buy himself suitable
clothing for that profession, and finally
came to this

man. Poor soul
And then she opened her purse; but,
alas, it held nothing but samples

that the woman might not see the tears
that was slowly trickling down his cheek.

Saying which, the sweet soul bounded
lightly up the stairs, and rushing to her
husbands desk, which stood in one corner
of the room, fumbled anXiouslv among
his papers for moment, and then, with a
cry of delight, having found what che
wanted, rushed back to the waiting suffe -er
at the door. Her face shone like a sun of
happiness as, breathleSs from her haste,
she painted:
Here. take this, my friend And may
it be the corners stone of il new and prof

Then she closed the door. and the way

act or vengeance against newspaper
Published in this city. For some time
past the AcropolIs has been publishing
series of articles derogatory to the
army. The articles excited much indig-

heatedly discussed. Finally it was de-

criticism on the part of the Acropolis.
One hundred and thirty officers and
men of all arms proceeded to the Office

place. Nearly all the attacking party
were armed with axes, with which the
press and type and type cases were de-
stroyed. The library was then attacked,
the books therein being torn to pieces

The debris was thrown into the street.

Hansbrough's Arithmetic.

Chicago Herald.
, 1t is evident that the Republican
campaign Of ignorance and immortality
is to be continued on the old lines. A
local high tax organ prints an interview
with Senator Hansbrough. of North
Dakota. in which he is quoted as saying
that the sheep industry in his state
''has fallen off more than $50 per cent
since the advent of the Cleveland adj
ministration. This is very distressing,
but the blame must be given to the
Mckinley tariff. which had been in
operation from the time of President
Cleveland's Inauguration until last
Tuesday. Inasmuch, however, as the
sheep industry in North Dakota must
have entirely disappeared with fall
ing off of 100 per cent, it would be in
teresting to know precisely what effect
the further reduction of $50 per cent
mentioned by Senator Hansbrough had
upon it. Apparently it must have re-
vived the industry somewhat, as the
senator goes Oh to say that the farmers
are getting very poor prices for their
sheep at the present time.

LONDON, Sept. 2.-Money rates during
the week were a shade easier. 1t is not
expected that they will strengthen for
some time. The enormous stock of gold
held by the Bank of England shows
glut of available resources. The opin-
ion of the best authorities, now, how
ever, favors turn In the tide of bust
ness ere long, which will absorb these
unprecedented accumulations, one of
the leading factors being the settlement
of the American tariff question. which
promises to have an immediate effect on
international trade. Acc ompanying the
improved trade prospects are the signs
of revival in speculation at the stock
exchange. Business continues to ex-
pand and the strength of the marke. is

greatly due to cheap IN oney.

STRAIGHT DEMOCRATS.
The Polk County Faithful Not
Favorable to Fusion.

To the Editor Of the Globe.
In an article in the editorial columns
of your paper Of the 9th inst. you state
that in no single county composing the
Seventh congressional district has the
slightest pretense at maintaining party
county organization been made. | wish
to state that the claim of the writer of
that article is false. Polk county DEM
ocrats have never joined in q fusion
ticket; we have nominated full county
ticket for the coming election for the
sole and only purpose of polling the full
party vote for the state ticket, with no
possible chance of the election of any
local candidate; same will be the result
of our legislative convention.
l also deny that there is a candidate
for the congressional nomination for
this district in the city OF Crookston.
but l will say that we have Democrats
that will not allow party principles and
party organization TO suffer by going
before the people with an Incomplete
OF fusion ticket. Very sincerely.
