A Birthday Celebration

The pleasant home of Mrs. B. M. Thorn
as, on Washington street, was the scene OF
more innocent mirth and merry-msk
than he's been witnessed in Santa Fe fol
weeks. The occasion was the celebra
tion of the 18TH birthday OF Master Nor.
ris, the bright and only son of Mrs
Thomas, and the youth was most eff
ciently assisted in making the event
pleasantly memorable by about 20 girls
and boys of about his own age. The
evening was rendered delightful by a
variety of games, lively vocal and in
strumental music, and, last but by no
means least, by the generous and
choice refreshments that were served
just at the Every nick of time" as one Of
the boys reported this morning.

Sister Blatchford followed her hus-
bands lead with q subscription of
twenty-five dollars, which Blatehford,
of course, would pay, and the minister
blessed her in turn. Then Blatchford
insisted on old Mrs. Spiclxler subscrib-
ing to the fund at his expense, and she
received a blessing likewise.
This is truly Christian family, 'thC
minister said with much JUNCTION, "and
their reward will be great in the next
world. May the Lord reward and bless
them according to their deserts"
This prayer also would be answered
IN time. for the day was coming, and
even then was not far off, in which the
Blatchfords would receive the reward
of their acts, and be blessed according
60 their deserts. 1t was coming, as
surely as just retribution ever comes to
those who make way for it. And
that reward would not be in accordance
with Rev. Wheedler's prayer and
wishes, but in accordance with Gods
unerring law of right
The meeting of the Christian Aid
Society" at last adjourned, smilingly
satisfied with it's work; and the mem
bers were about to depart from Blatch-
ford's parlors for their various homes
when it was discovered that Sister
Gooding, who was then present, had
not subscribed to the aid fund. Rev.
Wheedler promptly called the at-
tention of the members to this fact by
saying:
Here is an important omission in our
good work. Sister Gooding's name is
not on our list of givers at all. This
must not be, and the sister must SUBJ
scribe. Sister Gooding, you have un'

one of our most liberal members, and
your hand has ever been in good works.
Come, how much shall 1 put down 70
your credit?'
Nothing, thank you," replied pale,
frail, earnest little lady of middle age.
81 have concluded not to give anything
to this fund"
Rev. Wheedler and all the othera
were completely nonplussed by this un-
expected reply. Sister Gooding had al
ways been liberal giver of time and
money to all church work, and
this was the first occasion she had
ever been known to refuse to
subscribe to any kind of church
fund. Rev. Wheedler and the others
were at first inclined to doubt their
ears and felt that they surely could
not have heard Alright, but finally they
were convinced of the reality of the
sisters words, and Rev. Wheedler said,
in great surprise:
"Sister Gooding, you surely do not
mean that. You must not mean it. /
i am at loss to understand YOU"
II do mean it, Brother Wheedler," she
said, in her calm, quiet way, land will
explain why: l am firm believer in the
church, and in it's influence for good, and

cause. have made an effort to give

THE CHRISTIAN AID, SOCIETY.
Y 1t is due Hiram Blatchford to state
that he was totally ignorant of the
whereabouts of his daughter. He knew,
IL is true, that she was somewhere in
Kansas, but he had not the remotest
idea in what part of the state. 1t is
aIsotdue him to say that he never re-
ceived the letter written him by the old
doctor at the beginning of Marys sick
ness. Whether it would have made
any difference in the condition of the
Greens if Blatchford had known of their
whereabouts and condition, is ques-
tion that must go unanswered, but true
Christian charity says give him the
benefit of the doubt.
However Blatchford might have act
ed on the knowledge of his child's dis
tress, Sarah Blatchford felt it to her
interest to see that such knowledge did
not reach him, and accordingly the
good old doctors letter never went be.
yond her hands.
She had long feared that communi-
cation from the Greens might come to
her husband, and not feeling sure that
his heart would be proof against his
daughters pleas, if she should choose
TO make any, Mrs. Blatchford be-
thought herself of the precautiOn of
keeping any such letter from Batch
ford's hands. So, in pursuance Of this
idea, she arranged to have all the pri-
vate mail delivered at the house, and
when the doctors letter came to hand
with its Kansas postmark, she rightly
Judged that it related to the Greens,
and forthwith she opened it and read
its contents.
The letter told pitiable tale of woe,
for it portrayed in plain colors the sad
condition of Mary Green, sick and pow
erty-stricken as She was, and ended
with a plea to the obdurate father in
behalf of his suffering daughter. Such
letter, coming from one who was
stranger to Mary, ought to
have brought a feeling of pity to the
flinticSt heart, but on the gentle heart
if this devout member OF Rev. Wheed-
| ler's congregation it made no impress
sion whatever. Some one may imagine
that she suffered compunctions of con-
science, but such was not the case.
Such people as she have no conscience.
1t does seem that after reading DR..
Bascom's letter, Mrs. Blatchford ought
ut least to have experienced a sense Of
shame when she remembered that she,
and all her relatives, were living in
great plenty on that which of right be
longed to the poor woman who was
starving. But even that feeling die

she burned the letter, watching II
crisp in flames and turn to ashes, ye
suffering no twinge of conscience. Ant

pew with smiling, placid features, ap

Pearson aeceded readily TO this re-
quest, since to continue the eonversa-
tion longer at that time would by no
means enhance his interest. He felt
that he had accomplished all that could
be accomplished previous to his finish
ing stroke. OF course, in the mean
time he could go on gaining her respect
by his services in behalf OF her parents,
but to her h would say nothing more
of his love- anl he would make no more
direct efforts to win her consent to his
proposal.
Louise, anxious to escape Pearson's
company, expressed a wish to return
home, and accordingly they walked
back to the cabin. Neither had much
to say, and save for few desultory,
commonplace remarks, the walk passed
in silence.

The Lay Judges Perplexity.

Some years ago one of the lay
men who find places on the bench of the
highest court of New Jersey, thanks to
political influence and accommodating
Governors, was a builder or contractor
living in the northern part of the State,
man notoriously ignorant of the law
and untitled for any judicial position
Not long after his appointment a Judge
of a Federal Court, who knew the man,
met him and with rather an amused
smile asked:
We'll Judge, how do you get along
on the bench"
oh" was the reply, Il get along very
WELL You see | have been on the Grand
Jury a good deal and so had picked up

Indeed. That's rather a serious bust
ness for man of your age to take up. is
it not?"
Yes, but I've got to do it. You see
there are SO many new words | don't
understand. Now look here, what do
they mean when they say laches?''
He pronounced the word latches and,
as he spoke it. made a motion with his
index finger as of man lifting latch.
The future course of the Judges study
of Latin is not recorded.

Cancelled Stamps,

rs there a market for the common
everyday cancelled postage stamp of
commerce." asks a correspondent.
Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
That is, there is if it has not gone out
of existence very recently, and it is To-
Gated somewhere on Twenty-third
street near Fourth avenue. For the
two centers one gets something like $50
a million. If in nice condition and
properly sorted maybe they command
a penny or two more.
What good are they?" 1 asked when
I first heard of the shop where they are
bought.
Why" was the answer, there is
always demand for foreign stamps" :"
But" cried l, "our stamps are not
foreign"
They are in every country but this
said the clerk. Some children escape
the whooping cough or measles, and
about the same percentage escape the
postage stamp fever, which leaves
large majority who have a period when
only stamps are good for what ails
them. These little girls and boys in
foreign parts rejoice as much over our
old stamps as the small men and. wo-
men here do over those of their own
countries"

referendum. The idea is a good one.
1t may be improved in committee or by
the Legislature in it's course through
that body.
THE COYOTE BOUNTY SCANDAL.
Fresno Expositor: 1t is most unfor-
tunate that the Secretary of States
bookkeeper got caught in trying to
speculate in unredeemed coyote scalps
just when the Legislature was laboring
over a bill apprOpriating money to re-
deem them. The coyote scalp bounty
claims are obligations of honor upon
the State. Citizens, merchants and
banks advanced money upon these
NANCY evidences of debt, reposing i'm
plicit faith in the States financial abil-
ity and integrity. The only excuses
justifying the Legislature in refusing to
coyote frontlets are suspected Of hav-
ing been imported; secondly, that some
already paid for are believed to have
been resurrected or come harmless in
form from death like Banquo's ghost;
and thirdly. that a thrifty Republican
clerk in the Secretary of States office
has tried to gather few shekels from
the prospect of a redemption appropria-
ton. The question is whether the State
owes the money for the dead coyotes
under it's pledge to pay for their ears.
1t is dangerous policy to break faith
with honest creditors, even if the policy
be adopted to punish a handful of dis
reputable jobbers in public claims.
