foreigner who is not acquainted with lo-

Bascon and his companion, an English
man, named Martin Hayes, their expert
ence was such. but it was also Interest,"
Ing. In conversation with Mr.. Bascon
that gentleman stated the following to an
Enterprise reporter:
Not long ago came up from Guate-
mnla with an Englishman named Martin
with goods. We %prospected all along the

there we learned that in the district up to
Tonelado there was plenty of gold. as an
other Englishman had passed through
there with 5000 which he had panned out
at a certain point somewhere in the region
of San Pablo. in Oaxaca. We traced tile
gold along the stream for sixty miles, and
very hungry by this time. having run
short of provisions. and. going across the
mountains, Were told that We should be
careful, as banditti were numerous. Soon
after two men met us not far from a
Miguel. and they both had rifles. They or
dered us to halt, but l pulled a revolver
n took their guns away from them and
we arrived at San Miguel one of them eh-
tered a complaint before the iese politico.

jesse knew the men too well to listen to
their story, M the result is one OF them
Is still in jail at that place.
When we left San Miguel we secured a
mozo to guide us to where the Englishman.
referred to ound his gold, but when we
got there the mozo would not stay, as 1t
was known the Engllshman had returned
and died there. We found his skeleton,
with the legs and arms eaten off. and the
mozc, being fearful he would see the ghost
of the dead, left us to ourselves. We went
across a river and camped in the adjacent
woods. Along the stream we prospected
for gold. and in two weeks we found gold
which went about 25 cents to the pan. We
remained there about six months, and all
that time we lived on monkey meat and
green bananas, and both, too. without
salt Just think of 1t! Nothing but mon
keys. and occasionally a fowl or two, and

Birmingham, Ala, Sept. 14.-Private
Tyson of the Second Arkansas and
two members of the Third Alabama
negro regiment were seriously shot
and twenty heads cracked with sticks,
stones and beer bottles in n riot at
Admission last night.
The Third Alabama, Third Tennes-

police started with him for the lookup.
Five hundred of his companions ss-
sembled and tried to rescue him, but
were prevented by the southern white
soldiers.
The negroes then organized and
made an attack with beer bottles,
rocks and sticks, on the white soldiers,
who returned the charge with pistol
shots.
Finally the white officers of the ne
gro regiment put in al appearance
and, with naked swords and drawn
pistols, drove the negroes back to

Unto the affairs bring
The firstling flowers of spring
The violet with evenings purple eyes;
The valiant crocus-spear
That hath of frost no fear;
The daffodil in mornings golden guise;
The hyacinth whose bells
Breathe fragrant spells:
Hepatich }prays entwined,
And the shy whatsoever, amorous of the

And let it be
One more fair bloom bear We,
As softly white as plumage Of the dove,
The lily that's for love!
Q We that fare with faint n failing
Toward the dim gates of death,
Be these the heartenlng Sigh
Quickened by God
Within the dormant sod
OF resurrection and the life divine!

For @ moment the clerk hesitated. The
little one took it for e. refusal to accept
the parcel because she had no paid
enough for the postage. Quickly the
tiny hands fumbled at a little purse,
where two more pennies were in keep
ing. These were on the window ledge in
a momen with the other two.
There's more pennies. sir" said the
little n please take 1t now. I
haven't any more pennies"
Why, my child" said the clerk, who
had babies of his own at home, Tt
"oh, please" broke in the little one,
its for my little brother in heaven.
He died last week, and perhaps he is
SO strange in heaven that God thas for
gotten to give him any Christmas pres

Tears were in the clerks eyes by this
time-he was thinking Of the little flax
en-haired one of his own at home. Tears
were in the child's eyes. too, and the
little lip was quivering.
"Oh, sir, it's all right she insisted.
This is my very own to give away.

Of Christmas cause Robbie had gone to

The little one was crying now. Her
sohs came fast and deep. Her poor lit
tie heart was on the point OF breaking.
Robbie went away to God last
week." she sobbed. land little Elsie

The clerk blew his nose very hard and
then he explained that the mail did not
go where her brother was SO happy with
the angels. 1t wasn't because she didn't
have enough pennies t pay for 1t, 1t was
because the steam cars couldn't 60

and one woman in black who had come
on the line that WAS kept standing there
because Of the little one pleading be-

So the clerk handed batk the package
to the child and she turned away with
tears Of bitter disappointment in her
eyes.

sobbed.
Just then the cover came on her pre-
cious package. 1t held a little white
lamb, tied with a pink ribbon.

and the.clerk turned back to the routine
OF his work.
