The Republicans of the sixth Mary
land district are in a fight that is not
likely to improve the chances of their
nominee for Congress, whoever he may
eventually be. The congressional con-
vsntion met at Frederick last week,
and after casting l ,474 votes were un-
able to make a selection, finally ad-
journing to meet at Oakland Septem-
Der 9th. Each county in the district
has candidate, as follows: George A.
Pearre, Allsgany Milton G. Urner,
Frederick; Robert A. Ravenscroft,
Garrett Ashley NJ. Gould, Mont
gomery Edward Stake, Washington.

We notice that some of our Repub-
lican friends are taking comfort in the
fact that the United States treasury is
accumulating an enormous surplus, the
balance now amounting to over $780,
100000. There's nothing creditable
in this, for it simply means that so
much money is being wrung from the
people by taxation, and while the gov
eminent is being enriched individuals
are being made poorer. Those indi-
viduals, too, who are yielding up the
money are not the rich, who ought to
pay it, but the poor people. The
great corporations were ostensibly
taxed, also, but every one of them,
almost, has succeeded in evading the
tax and throwing it upon the people
who are forced to do business with
Thorn. Oh, no There's nothing COM
mendable in taxing the people to pro-
vide great sums that will tempt an e1-
travagant party to still wilder squan-
dering of money.

A Crushing Answer.

A favorite story in certain New South
Wales gold mining district tells how at
political meeting there the chair was taken
by an athletic miner. The candidate dur
ing his speech was much interrupted by
hootings and rough chaff, and his chair
man was soon in state of boiling indig-
nation. Smothering his wrath, however,
he pacifled the "boys" by assuring them
that at the end of the candidates speech
they should be at liberty to put any ques-
ton they chose Accordingly at the end
of the harangue he arose and inquired in
stentorian tones and in a rich Irish
brogue, "Has inny gintleman questhion
to airskp" A stout little Welsh miner,
who had been a conspicuous disturber Of
the peace of the evening, shuffled slowly
up the steps of the platform, but at the
top he was met by the chairman, who,
without the slightest warning, delivered a
terrific left and right and sent the
Welshman sprawling on his back. Now, F"
reared the chairman, "has inny other gin
tleman a questhion to airskf" And there
was no response News.

afoot and then pursued them hotly sew
eral days into the Businesses of the noun
tains, where we came upon them again.
In this second brush with them we killed
a number, including some squaws-for
they had their squaws with them and 1t
being in the early morning it was impossi-
BILE to distinguish the bucks on account OF
the similarity of their dress with that Of
the squaws at that season of the year.
But let mo say right here that the sqIaws
of the Apaches were as merciless in their
warfare as the bucks themselves Kit
Carson shot one in the back while she was
on horseback and just in the act of get
ting away with one of our men, who was
down, but Carson was greatly grieved at
having shot a woman, for Kit was the
tenderest hearted man that ever drew
blade on an Indian, and he afterward gave
Mexican five silver pesos to go back and
put her out Of her misery.
"After holly contested engagement
through tho chaparral the Apaches retreat
ed farther into their stronghold and l
went in pursuit Ola number, when one
whom had taken for a buck Indian, but
who turned out to be squaw, attempted
to jump her pony across deep, narrow
gorge in tho hills The horse failed to
make a successful leap and fell to the bot
tom and lay on his back, fast in the ravine,
with his feet tanning the air. As it seemed
fruitless to follow the rest of them, l dis
mounted and entered the cavernous bed Of
the now dry mountain stream in search Of
the endorsed foe. l followed the tracks
up the gorge about ] 80 yards, when came
upon bed of sand at the edge Of great
stratum of slate rock, under which the
water had washed deep recess.
"Noticing that tho tracks of the fleeing
Indian wero somewhat irregular in this
sand, l stopped, and getting down on all
fours l peered into the depths beneath,
from which came no sound, but after my
eyes had become accustomed to the dark
ness saw two little eyeballs that flashed
| like diamonds. | managed to reach in and
get hold of little human leg and pulled
out an Apache papoose, probably years
old, who began to squat and fight like a
wildcat, having with animal instinct re-
manned motionless and quiet until cap
| tured. Then, discovering that had been
following a squaw, l went back to my
horse tied the papoose in my blanket and,
mother fashion, cinched him on my back.
In that way, after giving up further pur-
suit of the Indians, rode with him 400
miles back to the troops. ! named him
Bill, after myself, Apache Bill.
"Gctting to camp, l found that nothing
would reduce the little redskin from his
savngery but plentiful supplies of sugar,
and finding him too much of an incum-
branco in my line of business sold him
to Lieutenant Colonel John B. Magruder
for 100 pesos in Mexican silver. His pur'
chaser afterward' became General Magru-
der of the Confederate army and took little
Apache Bill as body servant all through
the war Of the rebellion. Then he educated
him, and expect to see him in Califor

A CIRCUS MANS STORY.
The circumstances Attending the Loss Of
a Large Anaconda.


ave lost big anaconda once, said the
old circus man, sin the most singular
manner you ever heard Of You couldn't
guess how if you should guess for 40 years.
"This was at the time when we had the
great IS foot giraffe that I've told you
about and by very singular coincidence
this anaconda was just the same length
just Is feet long 1t got out of its cage
one day, how nobody ever knew, and
strolled over to where the giraffe was lying
outside the big tent asleep on the ground.
What under the canopy could have pos
sesscd the anaconda to collar the giraffe /
don't know unless it was because it was
the first living thing it came across. But
1t began coiling itself around the giraffes
head. 1t had taken about two turns, l
guess, when the giraffe woke up
"Frightened2 Well, now! The show
was going on-just started for the after
noon performance. The clown was walk
ing around the ring cracking his whip
when in rushed the giraffe, swaying his
long neck and cracking his whip the lash
made of 10 feet of anaconda, which the
giraffe slashed around in the air and slat-
ted up against the canvas roof and slam
med down ON the ground, jumping around
itself mad. I'd been in the show business
some time, but I'd never seen anything
like that.
1.-THE people didn't know what to make
Of 1t first; they kind of thought it was
part of the show, though they acted us
though they thought it was pretty skeery
part but in about five seconds they real
lied what it was, and then they thought
they'd had their moneys worth and they
wanted to go, and they did 60 dropping
down from the backs of the seats and
down through the seats and getting out
any way they could, and leaving the big
giraffe there wrestling with the anaconda
and thrashing it around and Stating it
down and making every effort to shake
1t off, but without any effect.
"Then's where the old man came In, as
he always did in any real emergency. He
was walking around the ring now back Of
the giraffe and now alongside Of him, and
keeping as close to him as he could and
waiting for chance. Presently the gi-
raffe, slashing the great snake around in
the air In all directions, doubled 1t around
the center pole 1t just happened SO, but
that was the old mans chance When the
anaconda's tail swung around, he seized
1t, and IA other men Tailed on in less than
that number of seconds. A canvasman
came out with an ak.
'Chop! says the old man, and one
blow on the bend of the big serpent where
he went around the center pole was
enough. And that's the way we lost the
big anaconda, but as compared with 81.
RATES. anacondas were cheap, and we were
glad to get out of 1t as well as we did. -

Abdul Kerim Pasha, the commander in
chief, while inspecting the troops one
morning, casually expressed wish that
he could capture Servian prisoner from
the Servian lines. Ahmed Bey, who over
heard the remark, rode up and, saluting,
asked to be permitted to get the COM
mander a prisoner. Abdul Kerim wonder
ingly gave the required permission, and
Ahmed Bey, without another word, wheel
cd his charger, dashed the spurs into his
TANKS, and galloped off in front of the
astonished detachment straight for the
nearest Servian outpost. AS he approach
cd the lines half dozen rifles cracked,
for the Servian vedettes opened fire ON
him, hoping to drop him on the wing.
But Ahmed Bey galloped on unframed,
having deliberately marked out one sentry
for his prey. The sentry emptied his rifle
at the audacious horseman in vain, and,
too late started to run. Ahmed Bey
swooped down upon him like sparrow
hawk upon landrail, and bending down
grasped the man by the collar in an iron
grip and flung him without an effort
across the saddle in front of him. Then he
galloped back again, bending over his
horse neck as the bullets whistled over
his head, and delivered his bewildered
prisoner to the Turkish commander amid
the delighted shouts Of the whole detach'
ment. Under the Red Crescent.

The Letter b.

The letter B is in Hebrew designated
Beth, a word which means house or tent.
There were two forms of this letter, one
having the right hand part rounded, the
other in the shape Of two trianglos, one
above the other. The Bedouins of today
have two forms Of tents, one pointed, the
other round, and as the east has changed
little for 1000 years it is fair to presume
that the Phenicians were familiar with
both forms. 1t was also customary for each
family tent to be double, or rather two
tents to be erected side by side, the one for
the men, the other for the women. Now
turn the letter B on its fiat side, and 1t
still bears resemblance to two tents, the
resemblance to us pefhaps faint, but much
more striking in the original form Of the
Hebrew letter.
