More Protection Needed For Concert
GOerS.

Last night at the plaza concert there
was a good deal of complaint heard
about the way boyg and girls 10 to Is
years of age were destroying the trees,
besides creating a general disturbance

called tag" in which they often run
for a tree and swing around it. In
consequence this morning it was found
that three of the young trees had been
broken, so that they will die.
This matter ought to be looked after
by the police department of the city
not that Policeman Schmidt does not
do his duty, but it is impossible for
him to be on all sides of the plaza at
the same time.
1t was suggested by several citi-
zeDs that one or two of the policemen
who sit and chat on the curbing in
front of Newman's bank be detailed by
the night captain to go to the park on
concert nights and compel the boys
and girls to make less noise and to re-
gard the shrubbery.

CITY Board of EQUALIZATION.

The board of equalization finished
their arduous task last evening. The
board has been composed of the city
tax assessor and the mayor, with the
different aldermen as the time suited
them best to serve on 1t.
IL was found that about three hum
dred and fifty of the taxpayers OF the
city OF FL Paso were paying less taxes
than they should, so the city clerk
will have to issue the necessary num-
Der of postal card notices telling these
individuals that the city board of ap-
peal will meet on the 10th day of next
October and that if sthey can show
cause why the appraisers have over
taxed them then is their chance to
come before the board and state their
case

CAPTURE of Chinese.

Today as the G. Fl. was pulling OuJ
Chinese Inspector Mehan and Captain
Bloom of the mounted force arrested "A
Chinaman who had been put ON the
train for shipment to some small place
down the road. The fellow said that
he had been put or the train with bis
ticket, but when the inspector asked
him for his certificate he couldn't pro-
duce tina: document, so he was taken
off the train.
After he was brought on the plat
form to the station he was questioned
more about his certificate and said that
it was in his trunk.
Two quite well-dressed Cinnamon
came up to the fellow while the officers
we're trying to get information out of
him and they began to jabber to
him, and seemed anxious to stop him
from talking.
At the station was another China
man who said that he was going out
on the Southern Pacific, but he
couldn't produce his certificate so they
were both taken in by the inspector.

Sierra Madre Depot Robbed.

Last night the depot of the Rio
Grande, Sierra Madre and Pacific rail-
way in Juarez was broken into and
robbed.
The entrance was made to the little
outside baggage Office. The robbers
had key to the custom house guard s
Office, and once inside of that they
forced the door which leads to the bag
gage room.
After getting inside the robbers
took two trunks, one of which belong
ed to Mexican aud the other to q
white man. 1t is not thought that
either co tanned anything except cloth
ing, and the amount of the loss can be
easily adjusted. Besides the two trunks
the rifle of the express agent was
taken.

A Well DEVELOPED Odor.

Last night about $50 O'Clock re-

skunks made its presence known by its
Objectionable odor in the northeastern
portion of the city. Several citizens
volunteered their services to hunt
down the intruder. They sent out
scouts to inform him that his presence
was all right, but that the smell
would have to leave the neigh borhood
The skunk was discovered in a vacant
lot and ordered to surrender and upon
refusing to do this he was shot dead

said to a friend who was supplied with
abundant whskers. Now, you as a
clerk have no use for that hair on your
face. 1t might be better if you did not
have it at all. While here am l, who
need it in my business, and yet cannot
raise a beard to save my life 1t seems
to me that the per capita circulation
of hair is inadequate to the needs Of
the nation. l have never had the
slightest use for a razor in all my life,
and yet such a beard as yours would
be worth at least $4,000 a year to me
as a lawyer. Strangers hesitate to en-
ploy an attorney in an important case
if he has not a beard. OF course, there
are exceptions to this rule, but it gen.
orally holds good just the same. If
man is portly and has a good address,
it does not so much matter, but taking
the average lawyer or professional
man, the beard cuts considerable of
figure.

his coming in to see her husband,

man asked the conductor how she
should go to st. Lukes hospital. The
conductor could not tell her. but he
looked around the car and picked out
my brother. and said to him: Doctor,

THE DRUM.

oh the drum!
There is some
Intonation in thy grum
Monotony of utterance that strikes the
spirit dumb.
AS we hear
Through the clear
And unclouded atmosphere
Thy rumbling palpitation roll in upon the
ear.
There's part
OF the art
OF thy music-throbbing heart
That thrills something in us that awak-
ems with a start,
And, in rhyme
With the chime
And eXactitude of time
Goes marching on to glory to thy melody
sublime.
And the guest
OF the breast
That thy rolling robs of rest
Is q patriotic spirit as Continental
dressed
And he looms
From the glooms
OF a century OF tombs.
And the blood he spilled at Lexington in
living beauty blooms
And his eyes
Wear the guise
OF a nature pure and wise,
And the love of them is lifted to a some
thing in the skies
That is bright
Red and white,
With blur of starry light
As it laughs in silken ripples to the
breezes day and night,
There are deep
Hushes creep
Ger the pulses as they leap,
And the murmur, fainter growing, on the
silence falls asleep.
While the prayer
Rising there
Wills the sea and earth and air
As a heritage to Freedoms sons and
daughters everywhere.
Then with sound
AS profound
AS the thunderngs resound,
Come thy wild reverberations in a throe
that shakes the ground,
And a cry,
Flung on high
Like the flag it flutters by,
Wings rapturousiy upwards till it nestlcs
in the sky.
Oh the drum!
There is some
Intonation in thy grum
Monotony of utterance that strikes the
spirit dumb,
As we hear
Through the clear
And unclouded atmosphere
Thy rumblng palpitations roll in upon

EXPOSITION.


EXPOSITION.
UNKNOWN.-"Ye know not what hour
your Lord will come" (verse 42D. Jesus
had previously said (vcrsC 3G) that the
day was unknown to any man, to the an
gels or to the Son. but known to tho
Father only. This indicates a profound
secret. II is not surprising that men
were ignorant. or that even the minister
ing spirits OHeb. /, 1O should be unin-
formed; but that this matter should be
kept from Jesus during His humiliation,
locked up in the chambers of the In
finite Mind, is cause for reverent wonder
(Deut. xxx, 29J. 1t was something which
the apostles might not inquire into (ACts
t. 10 which was "A perpetual mystery in
the church q Thess. " II. But why is
this reason for faithtuness? 1t invests
every moment of Intervening time with
peculiar and earnest concern. There can
be no lack of vigilance. no careless per-
formance, no idleness or Indifference
They must be always in their places, al
ways diligent always faithful. They
must not be time-serVers anxious to be
found true at the end, for they do not
know when the end will come, but dis
missing all reference to that they must
be and do, with absolute and unwavering
loyalty to their Lord.
EXAMPLE.-To enforce this thought
Jesus reminds the disciples of faithful
service in secular affairs (verse 43). Sup
pose one has been placed in care of a
house. suppose he knows precisely when
a thief will come. then, as Il true, good
man. he will be awake, and he Will not
suffer the house to be broken up. That
Is one style of faithfulness. Had the
diSciDles learned what they desired they
might have acted accordingly. But Jesus
desired them to rise to a higher plane.
His coming would be in many respects
like the coming of "A thief Ckev. Iii, b,
and they would not know the time They
must therefore render service superior
to that given in secular life. not watchful
for specific event occurring at a definite
time, but for any event, or circumstance,
or need occurring at any time Or, to
state 1t differently, if worldly servants
are true to a human master when all is
known, how much more ought the apos-
ties to be true to the Divine Master
when all is unknown (Izek. iii, 10. Stand

the darkness ever ready U Thess. V, g.
to do for God what no man will do under
purely earthly motives.
REWARD.-Jesus knew man. and He
knew that such umquestioned and COM
plete surrender could not be expected
without some inducement. These men
had proved that they expected a reward
