CHRISTMAS HAD NO TERRoRs.
How She Positively Knew That He Loved
Her.


And it came 60 pass, says the BGIti-
more News, that the meek-eyed youth
looked upon the glorious girl while her
cheeks were red and he spallc unto her,
saying: "Fairest creature upon earth.
wilt thou be my beauteous bride?"
And the glorious girl made swift an
swer, saying: Not, O Reginald, not
until you have given me positive proof
that YOU love me-"
And the face of the glorious girl was
even as the wild lily of the untrodden
forest for cOyucss, but her voice was
like unto the tax collectors for frmncss.
And the meell-eyed youth looked him
far away into the henceforth, for a great
fear was with him, and in his wailing
woe he was fain to end all.
And it came to pass that in that dark
est moment a great light dawned upon
HIM and he spake unto the glorious
girl, saying: Lest, peradventure. thou
misunderstandst me, again do say, be
my beauteous bride. AS for proof that
| love thee, fair one, let me draw your at
tent:on to the fact that Christmas is
scarce two weeks shence-dost want more
proof?"
And stra;ghtway the glorious girl
nestled close to his more or less manly
breast, and even as she nestled, she
spal.c, saying: "Thou art indeed brave
Most men would have waited till after
Christmas; but you--ouch! You
mustn't muss my hair, dear"

and serious one To determine this lot
us briefly review the case:
The evidence introduced upon the
trial, proved beyond question OF a doubt
that nearly two years prior to the kill
ing Of Francisco Chaves, these defend
ants entered into conspiracy for that
purpose laying their plans with de,.0er-
alton, selecting tho place whore the as
saseination should occur, aud eventu
ally changing the locality from the court
house to the place where Chaves was
murdered that they laid in wait under
the bridge near the Guadalupe church
night after night for almost a week,
waiting for their victim, and finally they
shot him dead at night while he was
quietly and peacrably returning to his
home, without warning; giving him 20
opportunity to defend himself. That
afterwards, when they we're defended by
tho ablest counsel in the territory; that
the judgment OF the court was reviewed
by the supreme court OF the territory
and affirmed; and that the case was
finally carried to the supreme court OF
the United States by writ OF habeas
corpus and again reviewed and affirmed
The crime was so deliberate, cruel
and cold-booded that it excited the at
tention of the people OF the entire terri
tory and tie county at large. The
trial consumed nearly four years; was
strongly and ably contested at every
step at cost Of much labor and large
expenditure OF money by the territory
and there is no doubt Of the correctn ess
and justness of the tiGal determination
1t was without doubt deliber-
ately planned and clrefully executed
cold bIooded assassination committed
after long and mature deIiberation
Under these circumstances, 50 well
known and established, believe that
any Interference with tho decree of the
court upon my part, would DO an abuse
of executive power, that could only re
suit in public calamity, clog the wheels
of justice and encourage the commits
sion OF crime.
1t is time that the criminal classes Of
this territory should learn that when
they deliberately defy the law; deliber
utely plan and commit crime. that
they m1st eSpsGt the law to be
meted out to them to it's fullest extent
that they should expect no moro mere!
than they extended to their victim
When crlmina once learn that they
olate the law at their peril; that jus
tice will surely overtako them; that the
majesty OF the law can and will be up
held ald enforced, crime will become
less frequent ana property Will be safer
good order an quetude prevail.
For these reasons, | do:Iine to inter
fere in this case but shall let justice
take its course.

A SMART ARITHMETIC MAN.
The Story OF n Chinaman's Property-Was
1t Divided Correctly?

II DNiUOd NotAoNli1
a Chinaman died, leaving his prop
erty by will to his three s1Es as fol-
lows, says Harper's Round Table:
ITO Fuenhuen, the oldest, one-half
thereof; to Nupin, the second son, one
third thereof, and to Ding-bat, his
youngest, onc-ninth thereof"
When the property was inyentoricd it
was found to consist of nothing more or
less than II elephants, and it puzzled
those three heirs how to divide the
property according to the terms of the
will without chopping up II elephants
and thereby seriously imparing their
value. Finally they applied to a wise
neighbor, Suenpunll, for advice. Suen-
punk had an elephant of his own. lie
Grove it into the yard with the II and
said:
Now, we will suppose that your IA
thcr left these IS elephants; Fuenhuen,
take your half and depart" SO Fuen-
heun took nine elephants and went
his way.
"Now, Nupin," said the wise man,
take your third and 60" SO Nupin
took six elephants and Travelled.
Now, Ding-bat," said the wise man,
"take your ninth and bCgonc." So
Dingbat took two elephants and va
moosed. Then Suenpunll took his own
elephant and drove him home again.
Query: Was the property divided ac.
cording to the terms of the will?
