ViCISSlTUDES OF LIFE.

 Young Author.

Sequel to an Experience of Struggling
 Young Author.
 You remember my telling you awhile ago, when we were talking about the vicissitudes of life,'' said a strug- gling young author, according to the New York Sun, about an experience that I had once? I had a. number Of manuscripts, you remember, which l desired to sell and which I sent out to the publications I thought them best suited for. One after another they came back, until they had all come back but one. That one, in my own judgment, was much the best of the lot, and I had built strong hopes upon it; and when, so to speak, it still didn't come back. But after waiting awhile longer and not hearing from it, wrote, asking about it, and the publisher wrote me polite note saying they had no record of it; it had never been received.
 "That was the story as I told it to you, and I supposed that that was the end of it; and it was pretty tough, wasn't it? But now let me tell you the sequel.
 Of course I wrote a polite note in reply to the publisher; and in that note I described the manuscript and said that perhaps it might yet be found; i; and later it was found, and, by snakes. they returned it!
 "That was solemn; but it was one of those things that are so everlastingly gosh-blastedly solemn that you have to laugh over 'em: and there can't be anything very terrible in anything that you can laugh over; so, you see, come to take it altogether, that experience was not very distressing after all."

 Addition.

But, notwithstanding they are now in tn city itself, there are few lots for sale yet at prices corresponding with the 'Sound Money Doctrine of President Cleveland and his cuckoos, which means that kind of a dollar which will buy two dollars worth of property. These lots are near the new elec- tric car line which is now in operation. The lots are in the city and their occupants do not need to ride into town, but the presence |of electric street cars is popular and adds market value to the property. Inside of five years this will be business property. Buy lot now for residence and when business crowds you out the rents will SUD- port you in house outside in some addition where you can keep horse and drive into town and collect your rents. Terms, cash } in one year, in two years at 10 per cent

WONDERS NEAR JEROME.
Many Prehistoric Ruins-Great Sport
 for the Hunter Too.

JEROME, Ariz., Dec. 29.-(Special Correspondence of The Republican.)- Among the many points of interest within radius of fifteen miles of this town are the ancient Aztec ruins, the many groups of cliff dWellings-in fact, many remains of mounds and tunnels of prehistoric people, which are only just now arousing an acute inter est among students of archaeology and the scientific world at large. One can make almost daily small trips on horse back or by conveyance, and be amply repaid by prospecting and exploring these evidences of a remote past. On either bank of the Verde river one encounters the villages and habi- tations of the cliff dwellers, hewn into the solid rock, it's sides almost perpen- dicular and washed at it's base by the river. One is moved to wonder and respect at the mechanical ingenuity exercised by these ancient people who built their homes so secure to life and limb, protected by their very position, l between earth and sky.

RECLAIMING THE DESERT.
The Burlington in a Scheme to Make Arid Lands Productive.

OMAHA, Neb., Dec 29.-H w. Campbell, soil culturist of Sioux City, has been in Omaha for several days on business connected with his profession and has just signed a con- tract there with the Burlington rail- way MT. Campbell has been eYperi- menting for the last three years on a process for turning the arid belt of lands in Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas and the Dakotas into crop producing districts. The experiments have been of such a successful nature that he has also induced the Northern Pacific, the Soo line and the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul roads to enter into the scheme. Starting in the spring of the coming year the roads have agreed to each establish five experimental sta tions in places which may be desig- mated by themselves, and men as- quainted with MT. Campbell's peculiar methods will be placed in charge of them. The farms will consist of forty acre tracts, and the products raised will consist of corn, oats, wheat, rye and all varieties of vegetables.
