Grand Canon Of Colorado River.

On the Santa Fe route, in northern
Arizona, 1862 miles from Kansas City, Is
the town of Flagstaff. A tri-weekly stage
line runs from Flagstaff to the Grand
Canon of the Colorado river. More than
a mile in depth, this is the sublimest of
gorges-a Titan of chasms. Twenty
Yosemites might be hidden unseen below,
and Niagara would look scarcely larger
than brook. 81,

1t is of nearly as great Importance to
the people Of this territory to have ex-
posed the reasons why Frank Chavez was
murdered, why Faustin Ortiz was muir
dered, why j. A. Ancheta was shot and
why the capitol was burned, as it is to
have the guilty people punished. 1t was
no ordinary criminals who committed
these crimes and the reasons therefor are
not the reasons that urge an ordinary
murderer. Let them be exposed SO that
the people of the territory can see why
there has been so much crime at Santa

Alas! for New Mexico. just as the
eastern press was seeking for some ex-
cuse for opposing the admission of new
silver states, the enemies of statehood at
Albuquerque furnish the eastern gold
bugs the much sought for argument. A
Spanish bull batting orgie has been ar
ranged for to be held at Albuquerque, in
which county officials are among the
managers. The Americans are loudly
protesting against the brutal exhibition,
and the governor has been appealed to
to stop it.-Denver News.

And they wondered, when she saw them,
What the little girl would say.
They hoped that the nursery life vas gay;
And they hoped that they would find
The little girl often played with dolls;
And they hoped that she was kind.
Near by sat an old doll neatly dressed
In new frock, black and red;
She smiled at the French dolls-"As to that
Don't feel afraid" she said.
The new dolls turned their waxen heads
And looked with a naughty stare,
AS if they never had seen before
That doll was sitting there
" Oh, we're not in the least afraid, said one.
We are quite too fine and new;
But perhaps you yourself will find that now
She will scarcely care for you.
The old doll shook her head and smiled;
She smiled, although she knew
Her plaster nose was almost gone,
And her cheeks were faded, too.
And now it was day; in came the child,
And there all gay and bright,
Sat three new dolls in little chairs
1t was lovely sight.
She praised their curlS, and noticed, too
How finely they were dressed
But the old doll all the while was held
Clasped close against her breast.

'92 that the Van Decker girls gave their
leap-year party. At eight o'clock that

she was not exactly pretty she made

OF fairness in the fun?

When homes are rich and glad;
or tender care to give or share
Where homes are poor and sad

OF little, gentle deeds;
OF earnest hours among hearts flowers,
