An Expert Trailer.

All who have been on the frontier
have heard of the remarkable faculty
Of Pedro Espinosa, the famous Mexi-
can trailer, whose powers border up
On the mythical General Dodge tells
the following story OF an experience
with this remarkable man, which
will give goud idea Of what an eX-
pert trailer can do:
81 was once sent in pursuit Of a
party of numbering COmanches, who
had been pursued, scattered and the
trail abandoned by a company of So
called Texas Rangers. On the eighth
day after the scattering Espinosa
took the trail after single shOd
horse. When we were fairly into the
rough, rocky Guadaloupe Mountains,
he stopped, dismounted, and picked
up from the foot of a tree the four
shoes of the horse ridden by the In
dian. With a grim smile, he handed
them to me, and informed me that
the Indian intended to hide his
trail.
"FOr six days we journeyed over
the toughest mountains turning and
twisting in apparently the most OBJ
lectless way, not man in the whole
command being able to discover,
sometimes for hours, single mark
by which Espinosa might direct
himself Sometimes lost patience,
and demanded that he show me what
he was following. POGO tempo Qn.
l short time), he would blandly an
Iwer, and, in a longer or shorter
time, show me the clear-cut foot
prints of the horse in the soft bank
Of a mountain stream, OF point with
mis- long, wiping stick to other most
nnmistakable sign Following the
devious windings of this trail for
nearly one hundred and fifty miles,
and only once or twice dismountlng
more closely to examine the ground,
be finally brought me to where the
Indians had reunited"

w.K. Andrews, Mayor Of Roanoke.
PInrree 70 sue Rallroads.

Governor Pingree, of Michigan, will
begin mandamus suit to compel the
Michigan Central and the Lake Shore
roads to sell mileage tickets good for
the purchaser and family for 2 years,
at $50, according to the terms of the
law recently declared valid by the
State Supreme Court. The Michigan
Central sells mileage tickets for $40,
but requires many details in purchas-
ing them. The Lake Shore refuses to
sell mileage tickets of any kind.
To get case against the two roads,
Gov. Pingree today made a demand for
mileage tickets in person and was re-
fused by the Michigan Central for less
than $50. and by the Lake Shore abso-
lutely. He declares he will fight the
case through all the courts as fast as
they can be reached.
The roads named are operating UNI
der special charters, which, it is
claimed, exempt them from State en-
actments regulating the sales Of tick

london serranra, Waren.

The item Of wages opens up the.
whole question OF servants and do
nestle home rule. One need Oaly re-
Fer to the monthly reviews and maya
zines to see that here we have indeed
a chronic subject for discussion. The
professional philanthropist, the en-
lightened and benevolent peeress,
the lady journalist, even Sarah Jane
herself, all have word to say. Our
own experience l can give very
shortly There has been, on the
whole, very little trouble except
with the cooks. Wages have run on
an average as follows: Nurse, G20;
cook, els to $40; house parlormaid,
ZIG.
When the life and income of a do
nestle servant is compared with that
of many a girl in business, or even
with that of many working men, am
prepared to say that she is exceeding
ly well off and, if thrifty, could very
soon save G100. Servants are often
very good to their relatives and
friends, and can be taught to save
money, but it is idle to blink the fact
that great deal of their wages goes
upon their backs in the shape of un-
suitable flnery. Putting all this
aside, what can you get for wages
budget of e54? Well, you can, with
luck, get well served in every depart
ment except the kitchen. "God sends
the food, but the devil sends the
cooks"
The difficulty is mainly this-the
imposslbility of getting a plain cook .
to cook plain things we'll every day.
She will boast of her pastry and
"ongtrays but if you ask her to cook
a chop or fry potato properly it is
