been lost party OF fremen dashed into the

T, WAS the last trip Of that vehicle. He got out
safely.
He lived In the building. and lost everything
ba had in the way OF household goods etc. His

there are suffering people Ill the
large cities at home is no argu-
ment. The people in the cities
and towns are surrounded by
nelghbors who have plenty and to
spare. The suffering III our cities
comes, usually from a delicacy OF
those suffering to make it known.
There never was a time, and per-
haps never will be when our peo-
pie turn a deaf ear to call to give
to the starving. The situation OF
the people III the Klondike coun-
try is such that their friends can
not reach to relieve it. 1t is a
herculean task to get supplies to
them In the winter. months, and it
is proper that this expense should
be born by the government as the
government with its system alone
can make Il surety of reaching the
suffering there.

Establishing the quarantine
line on the south side of Baca
county, is going to seriously re
tard work on The roundup and in
Jure the cattle industry of Baca
county. Parties in the strip who
usually bring cattle to this county
for summer grazing cannot do SO
now under the present quarantine
rules. This has been an advant-
age to Baca county IN two WAYS:
one that 1t gives some of her citl-
zens work at remuneratlve wages.
and another is that usually one
half OF such cattle are listed in
this county for taxation. Then
again several of our stock buyers
depend on getting many cattle
from the strip to keep up their
business. A full representation
of the case should be made TO the
stock convention which meets
in Denver in few days, and if
possible have that convention use
its influence with the Secretary of
Agriculture to drop tins quaran-
tine line recently established 200
or 800 miles further south, as no
Texas fever was ever known to
exist nearer than that. The es
tablishment OF this line on the
south side of this county effectual
ly prevents all Texas cattle being
driven north, and not only hurts
Baca county but many other
counties in the state.

THE ELEPHANT.

Few more impressive condolences

Hindoo describes how he knows his
elephant intends to destroy him. 1t is
ali so seemingly trivial, and in reality
Of such deadly significance. His story
is so full of details that prove the mans
profound understanding of what he is
liking about that one remains equally
amazed at the brute's power to dssimu
late aud its intended victims insight
into this would he murderer's character.
And yet from the psychological stand
point, an elephant never gives any
other such indication of mental power
as is exhibited in its revenge. That
patient, watchful, implacable hatred,
often provoked simply because man
is in attendance upon another animal
(for it is rule with tuskers to detest
,neir neighhors), speaks more conclu
Sively of a high intellectual grade than

ne lime comes, such desperate, unhesi-
II ing energy as homicidsl animals ex-
int, are impossible without a very
considerable, although in this instance
verv irregular, development.
No one can deny that if this creature

TIE AUSTRIAN EMPRESS The EN-,

TIE AUSTRIAN EMPRESS The EN-
press of Austria is never so contented
as when she is at Cape Martin. When
there she casts off all the cares OF roy
Il V and indulges her tastes for simple
living and fresh air. She walks for miles
every day in the most sensible, service
able costumes, and anyone who met
her in her walks abroad, quite unat-
tended, and SO simply clad, would
scarcely realize that she was great
Empress and had at her disposal some
of the most beautiful jewels that ever
we're seen. The Austrian collection
is the finest collection of jewels in Eu-
rope-in fact, the only one since the
crown Jewels of France were broken up
and bought by the millionaires. The
lAweled arms are quite magnificent,
and among the most noticeable OF them
is the lance of st. Maurice, bl,zing with
precious stones and containing in the
handle the most authentic relic-a nail
from the true cross; while the regaila
OF Charlemagne, taken from his tomb
at AK la-Chapelle, is ano her valuable
item. But the Empress's own jewels
are almost equally magnificent. She
possesses the largest emerald in the
world, weighing 5000 karats; but, of
course, this is uncut. Another, nearly
as large, is followed out as bonbon-
aiere. and one of her prettiest orna-
ments is a watch composed of one dark
emerald hanging on chain of emeralds
and diamonds (the first jeweled chain
which was ever made), and this was
gift from the late Shah of Persia
when he visited Europe some years
