We were out at the shearing corrals
of the Acorn outfit in one of the most
beautiful divides Of the Vintah noun
tains that skirt the western side of
Wyoming. 1t was late in the after
noon of a June day, and the Mexicans
who stood in the long line Of corrals
had finished the shearing for the day,
and were busy grinding their shears
for the early start next morning.
In n of the small pens which di-
vide the cOrrals into compartments
stood one Of the younger shearers. In
that soft Mexican voice of his he was
telling his companion across the low
fence that separated them that he
had made n score of ninety-eight
sheep for the day. His companion,
who was his elder by many years,
smiled. "YOu seem to be working very
hard, jose he said. II have noticed
that you are always first to pick up
your shears in the morning and last to
leave the corrals at night. Perhaps
the senorita has something to do with
it. You will see the priest when you
go back home, JOSEF and the Mexican
smiled at the prospect Of soon return
ing, as 1t was getting late in the sea-
son.
Jose's answer was interrupted by a
long, clear halloa that went ringing
down the divide to be finally lost in
the Big Butte Canon at the south.
All! that is Elena" and Jose hurried
forward to greet the beautiful little
senorita that stood waiting to receive
him with a soft welcome shining out

of inconsistencies, 1 had a very severe

Antf-ChOIera Virus I'm India.

DR.. Haffkine, the Russian physician
and bacteriologist, has been compelled
by ill-health to leave India, where. at
his own cost, he has inoculated more
than 10000 persons with his anti-chol-
era virus. His work appears to have
been attended by the most s%atisfac-
tory results, of the utmost Importance
to humanity. Surgeon Lieut.. Col.
Crombie, president Of the Calcutta
Medical society, at a special meeting
spoke Of him as one Of the greatest
b~enefactors of the human race. His
procedure consists of two stages-a
preparatory incubation with a weak
virus, which enables the system to
receive a second incubation of q
stronger character. The weak virus
he develops by passing air and OK
ygen yer a cultivation of the comma
bacilli on agar at a high temperature.
BY this means the bacillue is so modi-
fed that when introduced below the
skin it causes only a slight local puff
GneSs, followed Ivy a mild constitu-
tional reaction. The gentle character
in all subsequent civilizations in agar,
and becomes, in fact, I new perma-
nent variety of the common ba Illus.
The second incubation is made with
a virus of such strength that it causes
death to a guinea pig in eight hours.
BIT when injected into the human
subject five days after the prepara-
tory incubation, it gives rise to only
to a slight local and constitutional
disturbance. In more than 1000 in
EQUATIONS there has not been a mis-
hap of any kind. In Calcutta 1850
NEGOTIATIONS were performed by tie
health department Of the municipal
ity. Cholera occurred in thirty-six
houses, in which a certain proportion
of the SIG inmates had been inocu-
lated and a certain proportion had not.
Among the uninoculated inhabitants
13.47 per cent were attacked by chol-
era and 11.6 per cent died. Among
the inhabitants partly protected by the
first incubation only % per cent were
attacked and died . Among those who
had undergone the complete second
incubation there were no cases and
no deaths.

have | been more sincere in wishing
two people a long life of health and
perfect happiness. Some Mexican
wine was passed around, and we all
drank to the joy of Jose and Elena.
1t was well into the night, and still,
the singing continued. Never have l
listened to sweeter music, and as I lay
looking up at the stars aud those
great peaks Of the Rockies that con
pietely surrounded us, l translated
each song into a story of my own.
1t was in one Of these reveries that
I was awakened by the soft touch Of
Elena's hand. "Senor," she said, now
l will sing for you" Standing In
front of the fire, she loosened the
scarf which lose had thrown about
her. First came the soft chords Of the
guitars, then the mandolins began an
aria, which seemed strangely famil-
lar; then the soft notes of the violin,
and finally, the sweetest, clearest Of
voices began singing, in a low tone,
"Home. Sweet Home" in Mexican.
| looked at Elena standing there, with
Jose at her side, then I closed my
eyes. My thoughts at that time were
too sacred TO be risked In description.
When I finally wrapped myself in
my blanket 1t was to dream Of Elena
and Jose in a home of their own in
far-off Mexico. Suddenly 1 was awak-
ened. Rising up. l saw Jose beckOnin
me to follow. Hurriedly slipping on
my boots, l a after him. Coming to
n of the wagons, Jose motioned me
to enter. There. in the rude little
berth in the back end Of the wagon,
lay Elena. Taking my hand, she said:
"Senor, you are kind; be good to my
Jose. You can do nothing for me. Be
good to my Jose" 1 knew the reason
Jose had called me. Elena had been
stung by II of the poisonous scorpi-
n that infeSt the canons of the Uni
tabs. My little knowledge Of medi-
cine could be Of no help. l left her in
Jose's arms and climbed down from

Abatfng a


Saint Peter was sitting outside the
pearly gates debating a letter to the
recording typewriter angel, while two
of the cherubs were playing jackstones
in the road. Suddenly there appeared
a figure bent almost double over the
handle-bar of a bicycle and fairly
making the pedals hum. Before they
had time to move he was upon them;
he barely missed running over the
cherubs, startled Saint Peter so that
he dropped his halo, and scared the re-
cording angel into swallowing her
chewing gum. Alighting from his
wheel, he glanced at his watch, smiled
to himself, then demanded admittance.
Saint Peter picked up his halo, dust
ed it off, rang the bell and called out:
Front, show this gentleman to the
lower chute!'
Then, as the cyclist was led away,
Saint Peter turned to the recording
angel and remarked: That's n

being a nuisance to any one."-Puck.
