| The Deacon's Ante-NuptiaI Compact.
A curious document was filed in the
Hampshire county registry OF deeds at
Northampton, Mass, being an agree
ment between Fordyce Whitmarsh of
Easthampton and A. Minerva Cleve-
land Of Plainfleld, which records some
pre-hymeneal arrangements concern
ing the rights of ownership of property
after marriage. The conditions OF the
instrument are as follows:
"All real and personal estate shall
remain the separate property of the
party owning the same, to the same
extent as when married.
Property acquired by either party
shall remain the property Of the per-
son acquiring the same
Each party can manage or dispose
Of his property without consulting the
other.
1.-THE said Whitmarsh will pay the
said Cleveland during the first five
years of their marriage SO cents per
week for her personal use
give years from the date of their
marriage he will pay to. his wife the
sum Of $500, or, in case of the death of
either party, it will be payable from or
to the estate of the deceased.
After five years the husband is to
pay his wife $l.50 per week"

You have made me very happy, Mr.,
Deane. dare say you think me I'M
womanly and unfeminine, but indeed
you do not know to what extremities
we are driven by poverty. Good morn
ing, SIR"
Mr.. Deane sailed forth with a curl
GUS complication Of thoughts and emo
tons struggling through his brain. in
which grey dresses, long-lashed blue
eyes, and scarlet ribbons played a
prominent part.
'Did you get the money, sir?" asked
the clerk, when he walked into the
office.
Mind your business. sir" was the
tart response.
Il pity her husband" thought Mr..
Deane as he turned the papers over
on his neck. How she will henpeck
him. BY the way, l wonder who her
husband will be?"
The next day he called at the Wild
ow Clarksons to assure Miss Mellen
that he had no idea of breaking his
promise, and the next but one after
that, he came to tell the young lady
she need entertain no doubt of his in
tegrity. And the next week he
dropped in on them with no particular
errand to serve as an excuse!
When shall we be married, Olive?
Next month, dearest? Do not let US
put it of later"
Il have no wishes but yours, Mat
thew"
Really, Miss Olive Mellen, to hear
that meek tone, one would suppose you
had never locked me up here, and
tyrannized over me as jailer."
Olive burst into a merry laugh.
"You dear old Matthew, l give you
warning beforehand that l mean to
have my own way in everything. Do
you wish to recede from your bargain?
1t Is not too late yet"
No. Matthew Deane didn't; he had
a vague idea that 1t would be very
pleasant to be henpecked by Olive!
Elisha (inclined to be facetious)-
I'm getting to be pretty bald, aren't 1?
S'pose you'll have to cut my hair for
about half price hereafter, Ell?

ways charge double when we have to
hunt for the hair.

RUM AND COCOANUT MILK.
A Combination Which Our Occupation Of
Cuba May Render Popular.

A Combination Which Our Occupation Of
Cuba May Render Popular.
From the fact that it has not been
mentioned in the dispatches from the
'front.' should judge that our troops
on the south coast of Cuba have not
yet been introduced to Santiago rum"
said a man who has frequently visited
Cuba. 1T is the cheapest and best
drink that l know of in the tropics,
and I shall be very much surprised il
it does not become popular after the
war; Santiago rum costs about a third
as much as cheap whiskey and is ex-
ceedingly smooth. The best drink
that l know Of for a warm climate is
Santiago rum and fresh cocoanut milk
l never have been able to get fresh
>cocoanut milk here, and suppose that
those who do not go to a cocoanut
country can never know the delights
OF this mixture. The milk when fresh
is almost as colorless as water, and
when little rum Is added to the COM
bination 1t beats a gin rickey, even
though it may not be cooled by ice.
you will find that all the small
passenger steamers which sail down
through the West Indies are well sup
piled with Santiago rum, but the de-
mand for it is almost exclusively from
men who have become familiar with
its merits by living in a tropical eli
mate. Whiskey and brandy, although
the latter is very popular drink all
through the tropics, are exceedingly
dangerous, and one is very much bet
ter off without them. At one South
American port where I used to call
regularly the favorite drink was YER
mouth straight. A large proportion
of the population was French, and
every afternoon the men and women
would drive out to the roadside cafes
and sip 'vermouth. 1t was served in a
tall thin glass which was half filled
with ice. The ice made it expensive"

Range News: Dr. R. P. Steddcm, assistant inspector of the bureau of animal industry, was recently sent from Kansas City Jo investigate the present conditions in the cattle ranges, south Of tb International line. against which Q arantine was declared last spring. Local Inspector Allen accompanied him and careful search failed tn reveal any ticks. Hon. B A. Packard passed here Mon- day en route to Kansas City, bearing sealed report addressed to Col. Dean. We understand that the report is favorable to the raising of the quar- antine against that portion of Sonora, but that owing to the fact that the regular date had already passed, cat tie will not be admitted until Decem- Der l. Much interest Is felt in the outcome of this investigation, since the fuliillment of several contracts, some of them dating from last spring, depends upon the decision.

 greatest ever made in this country.
 Citizen: Cattle have been shipped for the last few days from this sta. tion to the different points in the east, most of the stock being brought from the Catalinas and San Pedro country.
 Range News: H. W. Maxwell yes terday hipped ninety-sx head of fat steers and COWS to Los Angeles and left today for Cedar Springs tn look at the E. E. Norton fat stuff. He re- gently visited the Turkey Track range and may purchase a string of beeves from that herd from Packard < Vick- CTS.
 Gazette: George Kemper has com pleted the shearing of 300 Angora sheep, some of which are thorough breds. The wool will bring from 30 cents to si per pound, depending upon the quality and length of the wool. From these figures it would appear that sheep raising would be paying industry in the valley.
 Range News: The recent sale of 400 head of heifer calves from the Adair Hereford ranch at Paloduro, Tex, at an average of s37 50 per head is an un- answerable argument of good breed ing. These were spring calves bred from graded Hereford cows and sired by pure bred bulls. Common calves would have brought less than half as much. Such is the premium which good blood commands.
 Range News: J. W. Hampson, a brother of J. H. Hampson, owner of the Double Circle herd, is reported to have been at Geronimo last week while two train shipment was being made Geo. Scarborough and bis guards accompanied the drive to the railroad. They reported that nothing had been seen Of the outlaws who made such grand threats short time ago. The Hampson herd is one of the best in the southwest.
 National Stockman: The position of the heifer in our stock markets has has undergone quite change of late years Formerly fat heifers sold at a heavy discount, as compared with steers of corresponding quality, but the difference has constantly nar- rowed as their merits as beef yielders became better appreciated. There is no probability that they will sell on a parity with steers, because of diff ference in value Of their hides and as a rule iu their shrink, but they are not far away. With the advancement of the heifer in the market she has gained favor in the eyes of the feeder. For the man who wants to make a quick turn heifers are peculiarly aud they are selling at com paratiyely good prices in the market dor stockers and feeders.
 PTOspector: The importation of Mexican cattle into the United States has reached low ebb. The falling of is not due to any decrease in the demand for Mexican cattle, for feed CTS are securing that country for stock, but it seems the supply is run ming short. The total number of cat tie imported into this country during the month of December was 2,lS3 head. Of this number 1923 came into Texas, 1895 by the way of Eagle Pass and only 297 through Fl Paso. Among the shipments were 1869 steers and 450 COWS The largest number of cat tie brought into the United States this year was in April, when 37,TlS head were received and the largeNt month was April of last year, when the importation reached 73,479 head
