a LITTLE BOY FOR SALE.


"A mother was busy at work ono day,
when her dear little boy with his toys
Ran in from his play, as bright as May,
with all of his traps and noise.
ssYou make such din" she said to him,
while he worked with his tools, his Joys:
s.I'n put you to bed or Ill sell you,' she
said,
''To the man who buys little boys"
A little boy for sale;
A little boy for sale;
The price Is so low you can buy him, know;
Ny little boys for sale;
A little boy for sale;
A little boy for sale;
He makes so much noise with his hammer
and toys,
Ny little boy for sale.
The dear little boy was quiet one day,
He had laid his toys aside.
The mother has ceased her work to pray:
20, Lord, with me ablde;"
As she sits by the bed of her curly head
A soft sweet song she sings;
When out of the gloom Of that small quiet
room
Comes the rustic Of angels wings.
There's no little boy for sale;
There's no little boy for sale;
He was bought by the love of the Father

A short time ago NJ. Henry, a French
man, being curious to see the effect OF
benzine ON wasp, put some OF it under
q glass in which a wasp was impris-
oned. The wasp Immediately showed
signs of great annoyance and danger,
darting at piece of paper which had
introduced the benzine into his cell. By
and by he seemed to have given up the
unequal contest in despair, for he lay
down on his back, and, bending up his
abdomen, planted his sting thrice into
his body and then died. NJ. Henry al
lowed his scientific interest to overcome
his humanity so far as to repeat the ex-
pertinent with three wasps, only to find

that the old fellow was mad, but do not

Certainly he was mad" answered
the woman. "How could he stop the

CHAPTER XIV.
THE CITY OF THE HEART.


While it was yet dark on the follows
ing morning we were awakened by'the
voice of Zibalbay calling us.
"Arise," he said; sit is time to start
upon our road"
Dressing ourselves, we went INTO the
common room, where we found Zibalbay
and the Lady Maya.
Eat" said the old man, pointing to
food that was ready, "and let us be 60
ing"
Ten minutes later we were outside OF
the house and on our way.
By degrees as the light grew we saw
that the country at our feet was shaped
like a bowl, whereof the mountain
range upon which we stood formed the
rim, and at the bottom of this bowl, fed
by numberless streams that had their,
sources among the surrounding SHOWS,
Law the lake, the Holy Waters OF this
people. OF this, however, we could as
vet see little, since the vast expanse be-
meath us lay hidden in volumes OF mist
that moved and rolled like the face of
the ocean.
Never before had we looked upon
anything so strange as this dense gar
ment of vapor while the light OF heaven
gathered upon it's surface, tinging It
with lines and patches of color 1t
seemed as though map of the world
was unrolled before us; continents,
seas, islands, and cities formed them
selves only to disappear in quick sue
cession and assume new and endless
shapes.
at is beautiful, is it not?" said Maya.
''But wait until the mist breaks. Look,
it is beginning"
AS she spoke, of sudden the sea OF
mist grew thin and opened in its cen,
ter, and through the gap thus formed
showed first the pyramids and temple
tops and then the entire panorama o.

could reach, sparlxled the blue water

TIE DEAD ALIVE.
An Executed Murderer Ecvives and Kills
His Hnngrnan.

An Executed Murderer Eevives and hiiis
His Hnngman.
"Everybody remembers when the
great Texas murderer, Dick Masters,
was hanged" said Il. NJ. Cary, of Waco,
"but the strange death of Sheriff Win
ters, who sprung the trap, has been
kept out of the papers. After Masters
body was cut down, the county physi-
elan pronouncing the murderer dead,
the sheriff ordered four deputies to
carry the body to his laboratory, where
the sheriff used to pursue his medical,
experiments alone. He was bound to
dissect the powerful, wcll-developsd
body of Masters, so he shut himself up
with the corpse and went to work.
1.-THE sheriff moved about briskly,
making great clatter with his instru-
ments. Several times he went to the
windows and pcered out, but the neigh
borhood was deserted. He soon dis
covered that the drop on the scaffold
had not broken Masters neck and the
sheriff thought that Yns fortunate,
as he always had experimental on the
restoration Of life whenever opportuni-
ty afforded. He laid down his instru-
ments and began to try and restore
life. The evening shadows drifted into
night. 1t was q noisy town and the
shouts and laughter Of revelers could
be heard everywhere. Several times
| the crowds passing the sheriff's room
thought they heard the sounds OF scut-
fling and more than once muffied
shout was heard. But the pleasure
seekers on the streets passed along
without giving thought to this.
"On the following day Sheriff Win
tcrs failed to appear at his office. No
body had seen him since he locked him
self in the laboratory with Masters
body. Finally the mayor of the town
and several deputy sheriffs went to the
laboratory, but rapping at the door
nor shouts would bring any answer.
Then they broke open the door. The
sight before them nearly turned their
hair gray. The room was IL total wreck.
The furniture was strewn about the
room, smashed to pieces, and every
thing bore evidence Of a terrible strug-
gle. Sheriff Winters lay on the floor
dead and the marks about his throat
showed that he had been strangled
A few feet away lay the dead body OF
the murderer, Masters. The faces ano
the garments of both men bore evi
dence of q hard fight. The only con
clusion that could be arrived at was
, that Masters had revived, and on re
gaining consciousness and strength III
! had attacked the sheriff and succeeded
, in killing him before he died himself

RECIPROCAL TRADE RELATIONS
Committee Receives Many Letters
Favoring Reciprocity.

Washington, March 29--Representa-
tive Hopkins of Illinois. chairman. of
the subcommittee on ways and means,
having in charge the subject of recipro-
cal trade relations with foreign coun-
tries, has received a number of letters
during the past week on this subject
A resolution of the New York legisla-
ture favoring closer commercial rela-
lions was received. Four letters were
from boards of trade, 10 from merch-
ants associations and 80 from repre-
sentatives of private interests. AS a
rule the replies are favorable to recipro-
city. The Louisiana Sugar and Rice
Exchange and the New York Grocers'
Association think some provision should
be made for bounty on sugar. Some
of the writers favor reciprocity with
Spanish-American countries only, and
others designate articles which they
think would be benefited.
The Winter Wheat Millers' League, of
indianapolis. sends a pamphlet headed,
Reciprocity and Retaliation Needed"
The head of the Lake Millers' Associ-
alton of Duluth and Superior (Wis.) says
reciprocity and retaliation law would
make foreign countries cease to dis
criminate against American flour
The National Association of Wool
Manufacturers says:
This organization believes in the
principle of the reciprocity clause of the
act of 1890"

plan of political action for the conins

ten pledge from 10000 voters that they
will not vote for any candidate who Is

to this condition will constitute the bal

fairs, and can either secure their de-
mands or wreck any ticket which re-
fuses to take the required pledge. The
work of securing signatures has COM
