From San Francisco Can.l

Stories and incidents concerning the
career OF the late A. j. Gambill multiply
now that he has passed away, There il
one amusing incident of his early life
when he was driving stage in Tennessee
and which was characteristic of the man
that will bear relation. There had beer
damaging storm, and many of the
roads on his stage route we're badly
broken up, and In some places carried
away. On one of his trips he reached
a bad spot in corduroy road, and his
leaders came to dead halt. The stage
was late, and the passengers were anx-
iOus to get through. Jack put his whip
in the socket and calmly took in the alt
uaBon.
slack! Jack!" the passengers called
to him, impatiently, "what are you GO
Ing to do? How are we to get through?'
"Hold your jaw" replied the irritated
driver, sand get out yer, couple of you
fellows, and take the leaders heads"
Jack descended from his seat, and
looked in vain for any means to fill the
break.
Suddenly bright idea struck him.
He was loaded down with public dOcu-
ments a ton or more, and without more
ado he seized this freight and threw bag
after bag into the chasn, till he made .
passable roadway, and the horses and
stage were led over safely.
81 don't know" he used to remark,
when telling of this incident, show the
constituents of the congressman got
along without their documents, but do
know that the stuff made the best piece
of road on the corduroy for some time.
They were well distributed, too, after
a while, for when the water rose higher
most of the documents floated down the
creek, and the voters who lived in the
bottoms had free reading for quite 9
while. 1t wasn't as dry, either, as such
documents usually are" Jack used tc
add with a chuckle, "the creek attended
to that"

Relief Came just in Time,
From Washington Post.l

Several gentlemen were talking over
the recent lecture of DR.. Talmage on
"Russia and the Gear" in the Riggs
house last night, when Boniface De Witt
told an interesting story of the famous
preachers first experience in trying to
deliver sermon without notes.
1T was years ago, of course" said
Mr.. De Witt, land occurred in my old
home, Belleville, N. j. DIR. Talmage
was preaching there, and one week he
made up his mind to go into the pulpit
the next Sunday without notes or men,
oranda of what he was going to say.
He memorized his sermon, and believed
he had it completely at his tongues end,
so Sunday night he went to the church
pretty well fortified with confidence.
sin those days in that section of Jer-
sey churches and hotels and many pri-
vate residences were equipped with pri-
vate gas machines, and the church where
Talmage was to hold forth had one, too.
When he got into the pulpit after con-

rified to find that he couldn't think of a

ond time, and yet his ideas failed to
come. He was in agony, and began
slowly and impressively to announce his
text third time. AS he reached the last
word and the perspiration Of dread and
shame was beginning to start, the gas
went out, and plunged the place into
utter darkness. There was no other
means for lighting the edifice, and when
it was announced that the gas machine

MORALS AND THE MODES.

From Detroit Free Press
Twas at the meeting of the ways
The maiden pensive stood;
Puzzled to know which road would lead
Most safely through the wood.
A straight and narrow pathway led
Directly to her goal;
Most trying for her gown and hat,
And wearing for her sole.
A broader road led OBVIOUSLY,
But smoothly thitherward;
And which TO take this maiden fair
Had found exceeding hard.
At last she started with fixed
Decision in her eye;
an take the crooked road" she said,
"And will tell you why
81 do not like TO struggle with
The underbrush and leaves;
Besides, the other Is by far,
Too narrow for my sleeves"

The Ute COMPROMISE.

The compromise measure which Hon.
Adalr Wilson has got fairly launched in
congress relating to the removal of the
southern Utes is under all the circum-
stances satisfactory one. 1t is not so
good as the entire removal of the Utes
would have been, but it will provide for
a condition of affairs which will be a
great Improvement over existing condi-
tions The Indians are to be removed to
the west end of the reservation and
small slice of San Juan county, New
Mexico, added to it. The means of com
munication between the towns of north
ern New Mexico and southern Colorado
will be facilitated, and hence our terri
torial neighbor can not object. Utah
will be satisfied. The communities about
Durango in this state and Pennington in
New Mexico will be largely benefited and
will joice at fairly satisfactory settle
ment of question that has vexed them
for many years.
The most important feature of the COM
promise is that it will open to settlement
and improvement 100000 acres of
! magnificent land along the southern bor-
der of the state, and some 100000 acres
| in southeastern Utah. This will add
largely to the growth and commercial
prosperity of all southwestern towns and
of Durango in particular.
For the contamination of the measure
Hon. Adair Wilson has labored most
earnestly, and he haa the faithful assist
ance of Congressman Bell and Pence. 1t
is hoped that no adverse eastern influence
will defeat the measure.-Denver Repub-
licRn.

Press Comments on Territorial
Affairs.
Some Weak Points in the Law.

The effort making by Gov. Thornton
and the authorities in the counties of
northern New Mexico to suppress crime
should be seconded by all law abiding
people in the territory. Every report of
people taking law into their own hands
goes back east and is used as an argument
to prevent people from coming to New
Mexico. Peace and only legal redress for
wrongs inflicted should be the motto of
all. But what New Mexico most needs is
more justice of the peace courts. Each
voting precinct should be allowed to elect
at least two justices of the peace and one
constable the same as is done In Ohio.
Iowa and other states where law reigns.
The expense would be no greater,
because only the fees of Office are
allowed a justice. Then people would
be less apt to bear grievances or
use physical force in redress, because
there would always be an opportunity
to get justice, If not from one then
another would be used. Besides this, it
is frequently the case that justice is de-
layed by sickness or absence of justice.
The present law is wrong and works in
jury to the people. A justice of the
peace, in other parts of the United States,
is not supposed to hold the Office as a
means of livelihood but in connection
with other pursuits, and it would be an
insult to the intelligence of the American
people to claim that only one man out Of
say 400 voters, was capable of perform
ing the duties of the Office of justice of
the peace. Let this matter come before
the next legislature at all events.-Eddy

Why Take the wabash

For ST. LOUIS?
Because it is the shortest line; the best
equipped line; runs free chair cars, Buffet
Pullmans and gives you ample time in
Kansas City for supper.
For TOLEDO OR DETROIT?
Because it is the shortest line; avoids
transfer across the city in case you are
going further east, and makes close con-
nections with all trunk lines.
For NEW YORK or BOSTON?
Because it has solid through service
from both Chicago and st. Louis, via
NIAGARA FALLS; gives forty minutes
stop at the falls at seasonable time in the
morning.
FOR ALL OTHER EASTERN POINTS?
Because its service is uniformly good
and you can make no mistake in asking
for tickets VIA THE WABASH.

PENCE TAKES A HAND,

Representative Pence, of Colorado, is
questlonably bright man, but he did
himself no credit by attempting to make
it appear that the administration was in
spring the prosecution of Coxey, ct al,
solely because lawyer connected with
the attorney generals Office took part in
the trial. LATE Pence was strong Jeffer-
sonian Democrat before he yielded to the
seductive influences of the Colorado Popu-
lists, and he is naturally too broad a man
to make pettifogging appeal to jury.
