The challenge was accepted, bat while
the fight was in progress a dark cloud
came up and the blessed Santiago was
seen In the heavens with a fiery cross.
whereupon the people Of Queretaro gave
up and were baptized. They set up a
stone cross to commemorate the event

in Mexico which has not a legend OF
this kind attached to it. The town il

right impression Editor Mitchell
Ohio has a civil rights law, and also
one against murder. Both are ehec-

can be written from his wrinkles. but
physiology hardly agrees in this in

a generals wrinkles differ from those

A RECOLLECTION.


Il WINS indeed perfect day
scarce recall the weather,
But autumn calm and bloom Of May
Seem mingled there together.
Then melody made sweet the hours,
Each sentence was n ballad.
The rocks were Jewels, weeds were flowers,
When Mary dressed the salad
No vernal scene whose biandishment
Will welcomely beset as
Can have the fascination lent
BY that small sprig Of lettuce
And vainly must musicians toll
From stage or festal wagon
For tones like those with which the oil
Came lettering from the hagon-
Strange how these merchant chemists mai
Each once alluring savorl
How tasteless Is the vinegari
How dull the peppers havori
Outlines when sterner moods are planned
Those memories come pressing
That salad day, the sunshine and
The girl who made the dressing
Washington Star.
