The Yarn That Failed.

A young American once found himself in
an English country house. He was not a
bad young American, but he carried the
habit Of self Qualification beyond the pos
sible point, 30 that he got himself disliked,
and ordinary men said that he was a liar
A son OF the house took him aside and
spoke to him delicately upon the subject.
WAL" the American said, sit would
hurt me to offend any of your insular pref
udices, but the fact Is that when COM
mence to bluff my tongue sorter runs away
with me- I'd take 1t kindly II you'd give
me nudge or kick or something when
you think I'm spreading 1t too thick"
The son OF the house said he would. That
night the American took an English heir
ess in to dinner, and she happened to refer
to Conservatives. 1t started tho American.
"Ihad cousin In Virginia who built him
self a greenhouse that was thought remark.
able. 1t was 418 feet long, 90 feet high
and"- Here his shin was barked under
the table, and the son of the house caught
his eye. He rubbed the dent and added,
with a sigh, land about an inch deep."-

Wanted Something Erisky.

''Got something frisky'" he asked as he
walked into livery stable and called for
a saddle horse. Something that will
prance about lively and wake fellow out
of his lethargy? can ride the trick mule
in circus and can back anything that
wears hair" They brought him out
calico colored beast with a vicious eye,
and he mounted it and dashed off. Before
he had gone two blocks the animal bucked,
crashed through high board fence and
plunged into a cellar, tossing his rider
over the top of an adjacent woodshed and
landing him on the ragged edge Of lawn
mower. They bore him home, straight
ened him out, and three surgeons came in
and reduced his dislocations and plastered
him up with raw beef.
A few weeks later he called at the stable
and said if they had gentle sawhorse
with an affectionate disposition, a bride
with curb bit and martingales and a sad
die with two horns and crupper to it, he
believed he would go up in the haymow
and gallop around little where it was
soft, and it wouldn' It hurt him if he went
to sleep and fell off, as he did the other
day.-Washingto Post.

Cry for Help.

In the stiffness of the night is sufficiently
startling. What if no aid be at hand OF
we know not whence the cry comes? This
is not the case with that mute appeal
made to the resources of medical science,
ever ready, ever available by disease on
every hand. A prompt means of self help
for the malarious, the rheumatic, the dys-
peptlc, the bilious, and persons troubled
with impending kidney complaints, is to
be found in Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
an eve: present help in time of trouble"
for all such hapless individuals. They
should not delay moment in seeking its
aid. Experience has shown its wide utility,
the recommendation of eminent physi-
clans everywhere sanction it's use. Ner-
vous, thin debilitated invalids gain bodily
substance and vigor by course of this
fine invigorant, which is eminently SER
viceable also, to the aged and GONZALES

"Well, sometimes I have my doubts
about Jim. He wanted to buy me plain

none too good for me. Then he said that
plain gold was the correct thing, but told
him he could not pull the wool over my eyes
with that kind Of story. 1t had got to be

Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1894-04-04

There is NO other locality, even the
boosted climate of southern France, that
can show such a stable and equable
range of heat and cold. The health seek
or need fear no sudden changes. little
attention to clothing and he can bid colds
and infiammations defiance. In cases of
death from tubercular disease the New
Mexico rate is only in 1000.
This is the lowest known record, and it
must be remembered that the local con-
tingent Of consumptives is daily aug
mented by the immigration of those who
seek respite from that dreaded scourge.
The record of deaths at Santa Fe is
much lower than the territorial average.
In New England the consumptive death
rate is rs out of every 1000 of the COM
munity; in Minnesota it is IA, and
throughout the southern states six per
1000. This city enjoys the spring eli
mate of northern Illinois and Indiana;
the summer climate of Wisconsin, Michi-
gan and Minnesota, and the winter
tenn perature of southern Illinois, Indiana
and Tennessee. This, however, is only as
shown by the Thermometer. The dry
tonic air of the mountain altitude fills one
with vivacity and health, and so strong is
the influence of the ozone and electricity
on the nerves and ystem that acclimation
is wonderfully rapid. This of itself is a
great boon. Cases are ON record of in
crease in the chest measure of immi-
grants here of from four to seven inches.
NATURAL ATTRAoTIoHs.
Besides this Santa Fe lies in most
picturesque valley. 1t is at the entrance
of splendid canon, Astounding in natural
curiosities. 1t is also the gateway of the
Pecos National park, where fish aud game
abound. Within easy riding or driving
distances there are over forty places of pic
turesq ne and OF historic interest. Among
which may be mentioned the old adobe pal
ace, first erected shortly after 1905, from
which the Spanish viceroys ruled this
great province. The present structure
,iates from about l716; but it is full OF
interest, as every room is consecrated by
tho memory of thrilling events. In this
building Gen. Lew Wallace wrote his
famous Bon Hur.
The chapel of San Miguel, was built in
1880 and still stands. By its side is the
oldest house In the United States. The
wallis of the old cathedral date from 1922,
but the rest of the structure 10 of moro
modern date. Within Convenient dis
tances are the Indian pueblos Of Tesuqus
and Nambe; in side canon Of the Santa
Fe are the delightful Aztec springs, while
about nine miles up the main water
course is Monument rock. The road
thither is one of surprising loneliness.
To the south of town Is Aqua Fria, and
the famous turquoise mines pronounced
by Tiffany the finest in the world; and
beyond the Rio 0rande are che San Ilde-
fonso Pueblo and the curious clif dwell
lings.
Other points Of interest to the tourists
are: The Historical society's rooms; the
SGarita," the military quarters, chapel
and esmsts.y Of Oar LadJ Of ths Rosalyl

"A SAobO SaAAs
One afternoon, while hunting, I was
caught by passing shower. 1t came with
a gust and took me quite unaware. See
ing thicket short distance from me,
l made my way to it to seek protection
from the pouring rain. The ground was
hard and dusty, and the rain had rendered
it in places very slippery. Reaching the
thicket, rested my gun upon the ground,
and bracing my back against large wal
nut tree gave myself up to meditntions on
the ruined sport while waiting for the
shower to pass.
Standing thus, felt a strange spell pass
over me-a feeling such as had never
known before, and which l cannot de-
scribe. l felt as though some dreaded
thing was about to happen, knew not
what.
Involuntarily raising my gaze, my eyes
became riveted upon monster rattlesnake.
He was the largest snake had ever seen.
Somehow my hat came off, and didn't
take it off either. l realized the danger
was in, but try as would l could not
change my gaze. tried to raise my gun,
but could not Then 1 tried to move my
hand, my foot, but each refused the brain's
command. l was powerless to move and
completely charmed" by the snake.
Then slowly it came toward me with
its demon eyes still full upon me. When
within about four feet from me, it stopped
and gracefully coiled, and rising upon its
tail prepared for the final spring. Again
tried to free myself from the horrid spell,
but could not With Its forked tongue ex-
tended it reared to strike, when it slipped
and fell and broke it's neck. The damp
earth had saved me.--Kansas City Times.
