with women in the crowd that gathered

and title.

Zibalbay.

Clique, who celebrates his marriage feast
with the mobiles, his guests" answered
one OF them. Say. are you of their
number, who come SO late?"
Then Zibalbay uncovered his face
and said:
Look at me, man. Did I command
you to shut my own doors against ne?'
He looked and gasped:
ut is the cacique come home again
Glow, then, do you say that you keep
the doors by order of the cacique? Can
there be two caciques in the City of the
Hearth" asked Zibalbay in a bitter
voice, and, without waiting for an an
swer, he walked on followed by the
three of US into the plaza or court yard
Of the palace, where many fountains
splashed upon the marble pavements.
Passing beneath a colonnade, and
through an open doorway whence light
flowed, we found ourselves in a great
chamber one hundred feet or more in
length, having q roof OF paneled cedar,
supported by double row of wooden
columns exquisitely carved, between
which were set tables laden with fruit
and flowers, drinking vessels and other
ornaments of gold.
At the far end of this place was a
small table, and behind it. seated upon
throne-like chairs, were man and a
woman, Having an armed guard on
either side of them.
The man was magniicently dressed
in a white robe broidered with the sym
Dol OF the heart and glittering feather
cloak. Upon his brow was a circle of
gold from which rose a plume of green
feathers, and in his hand he held 4 lit
tie golden sccpter tipped with an emer-
aid.
He was of middle height, very stoutly
built, and about tl1irty-tiEe years of age,
having straight black hair that hung
down upon his shoulders. In face he
was handsome. but forbidding, for his
dark eyes shone with n strange fire be-
meath the beetling brows, and his
powerful mouth and chin wore n sullen
look that did not leave them even when
he smiled.
The lady at his side was also beauti-
fully attired in white bridal robes, Dor
dercd with silver. and having the royal
heart worked upon her breast, while on
her brow, arms and bosom shone
strings of emcralds. She was young
and tail, with splendid eyes and a
proud, handsome face, somewhat
married by the heavincss of the mouth,
arI it was easy to see that she loved
t.1a husband at her side, for all her
looks were toward him.

POWER OF ORATORY.
Good Voice and a Fine Presence Counp
for Much.

u
for Much.
1t is a fine thing that words have
power to burn, and that in the flame of
eloquence a deal of trumpery and stuffy
notions are readily consumed. 1t has
been said that genuine oratory is gone,
but now and then the spirit of the
mightiest power that moves masses of
men shows it's everlasting Vitality in a
notable way. With sincere personal
conviction to support him a man with a
good voice and that gift of adding phrase
unto phrase which is indefnable may
enchain a great convention, hold thou
sands of men plant to his thought and
feelings, or he may charm and cheer
his hundreds in a banqucting hall.
The secret of genuine oratory, of the
sort that moves and stirs all hearers to
responsive emotion, is always to be
found at the center of storm of honest
feeling on the part of the orator. It is
concealed in the hidden places of the
interior life, and is the more effective
when its restraint is shown even in the
whirl of imprisoned words or noble
lnarshaling of phrase. Private views
and narrow contentious, personal
wishes, never have a chance for EXPOSE
ton in oratory that moves men and
women. 1t must express large princi-
pies largely, or its influence never re-
mains. nor has the fame of any orator
endured except of those who spoke for
the largest conviction and desire of the
mind of man.
The earliest movement which freed
Boston from England, although Lord
North used to assure his countrymen
that mo other province will in the
least countenance the rebellious Bos-
tonians," was kept alive by the orators
of Boston. The orations on the mas
sacre, delivered in the Old Brick church,
on the site of Cornhill square, or at the
Old South church, were attended by I'M
mense crowds of people. 1t has been
well said that these patriotic orations
are protective shield to our constitu-
ton. There are few men of conse-
quence among us who did not COM
mence their careers by an Grafton on the
5th of March," wrote John Quincy
Adams. And in these days, when, by
aid of descendants of the "rebellious
Bostonians," the stars and stripes have
waved in peace at Aldershot, oratory is
lending it's time-honored aid in the pro-
motion of arbitration between the Eng
disappearing nations
To the day and the deed
Strike the harp-strings of glory,
Let the tongue of the eloquent
Hallow the story!

Free Coinage Would Give Us BImetallisn
In Practical Way.
A goldite organ trying TO reply to
the assertion that this country is suf'
fering from a money famine says that
there is an abundance of money in the
United States, meaning by that paper,
silver, gold and all othes kinds of eur.
rency. In this it displays its igno-
rance. The country is suffering from a
famine of standard money, and IL does
so in common with all the remainder
of the gold-using world. It makes no
difference whether there is more gold
or less in a particular country. The
trouble is that there is not enough in
the whole gold-using world taken to-
gether. It is because prices are meas
ured by the whole quantity OF gold
in the gold-using world that they have
fallen SO low, and it is because they
would be measured by the whole guam
tity of gold and silver taken together
that they would rise if we had bimet-
allism. Free coinage would give US
bimetallism in practical way because
it would restore the parity between the
two etals, and it would do so be-
cause of the great power of this coun-
try to absorb money. The commerce
of the United States, foreign and do
mestic, would create such a demand
for American silver dollars that they
would be accepted upon a parity With
gold everywhere.

What Becomes of Lead Pencils.

'I don't know that anybody ever gave
a satisfactory answer to the question:
What becomes of all the pins?' but I
think" said father to New York Sun
reporter, that if anybody should ask
what becomes of all the lead pencils
could tell 'em. My two younger chill
dren have reached that age when they
go to school and carry pencil boxes. A
part of the equipment of the pencil box
is a pencil sharpener, which can be
bought now for the marvelously low
price of one cent. Armed with this
pencil sharpener. the temptation to
sharpen the pencil is, of course, great.
When they first got the sharpeners the
children used to turn off little saucers
full of the fragan cedar shavings just
to look at and smell, and now, at the
least bunting or breaking off of the
point, the pencil is carefully turned
down again. And that's what becomes
of the pencils; my children turn 'e-
into shayiups

a constant friend, a beloved citi
zen, has passed from this world of
pain and pleasure to the Great
Beyond. The chair that but a
few days ago, was occupied by
the head of a happy family is now
vacant and the loved aud loving |

RADIO with a sick daughter, Miss
Emma Viguerie, in the hope that
her health would be benefited by
the change of climate. He was in
good spirits and apparently in
good health. He laughed and
Ij0ked with his trends and they
told him good by aud wished him
a pleasant journey, little dreaming
that they would never see him
again in this world.
After leaving New Orleans, on
Thursday of last week, Mr..

was indeed an awful strain to
