The Tramp's Story.

The following is going the rounds OF
the press credited to exchange: Two
we'll dressed young men seeing seedy
tramp in front of saloon asked him to
take drink. When the glasses had
been filed one of them called on the
tramp for speech. He drank and then
straightened himself to his full height
and said:
"Gentlemen, I look tonight at you
and at myself, and it seems to me look
upon a picture Of my lost manhood.
This bloated face was once as young
and handsome as yours. This sham
bling figure once walked as proudly as
yours. a man in the world of men. l.
too once had home, and friends. and
position. had wife as beautiful as
an artists dream, and dropped the
priceless pearl of her honoran respect
in the wine cup, and Cleopatra like,
saw it dissolve, and quaffed it down in
the brimming draught. had children
as the flowers of spring, and [ saw them
fade and die upder the blighting curse
of a drunkard father. / had home
where love lit the fame upon the altar
and administered before it, and put out
the holy fire. and darkness and desola-
ton reigned in its stead. had aspira-
tions and ambitions that scared as high
as the morning star, and broke and
bruised their beautiful wings, and at
last strangled them that / might be tor
tured with their cries no more.
"To-day I am a husband without a
wife, a father without child, tramp
without a home to call his owH, a man
in whom every good impulse is dead.
All, all swallowed up in drink" The
tramp ceased speaking. The glass fell
from his nerVeless fingers and shivered
into thousand fragments on the floor.
The swinging doors pushed open and
shut again, and when the little group
aI10at the bar looked up the tramp was
gene.

All the plans for train robbery had
been perfected by three professionals
at the business down in the vicinity at
Magdalena the other day. A tip was
given to Col. Emilio Kosterlitzky, of
the Mexican gendarmes. The Colonel
with his usual tact and ability, handled
the case with the utmost ste :ess. The
knights of the road were under arrest
before they knew what had happened,
and now no one but they and the Col
onel know what did happen. But these
fellows will never rob any trains.-No-
gales Taxpayer.

The enormous increase in the con-
sumption of printing paper has led to
a sharp advance in prices, and may be-
come serious matter to low price
newspapers. During the rebellion the
prices for such paper reached 20 and
even 25 cents pound.-Albuquerque
Citizen.
A paper trust was formed not long
since. This, perhaps, has as much or
more to do with the advance in price
as the increased consumption. It was
during the civil war, while the price of
newspaper was SO outrageously high,
that the leading newspapers of Califor-
MIA started a paper mill of their own
A few years ago nearly all the leading
type fonndries in the United States
organized type trust. One foundry,
Barnhart Bros. & Spindler, of Chicago,
refused to join the trust, and the 9TH
ers combined to crush them. The low
price newspapers transferred their pat
ronage to the antitrust firm, with the
result that they have branches scatter
ed over the northwest and southwest,
and are doing an enormous business.
And types and printing presses are a
great deal cheaper than ever before.
As a rule, the country press, or low
price newspapers, practice what they
preach. They are opposed to monopo-
lies Of whatever nature, and whenever
opportunity presents itself show their
faith by their works. Barnhart Bros.
& Spindler are the largest type foun-
ders in the United States, and their
immense success is directly due to two
causes, the principal one being their
refusal to join the trust, and the other
is their liberality and square dealing.

An exchange says the newspaper field
is a wide field of roses and thorns.
When you roast the preacher the un-
godly smiles. when you roast the un-
godly the preacher smiles. If you roast
the saloon man the tsetotaler smiles,
when you roast the teetotaler the sa-
loon man will willingly set 'em up. If
you swear, you area wicked man, and if
you pray you are bypocrite. If you
venture an opinion you get cussed, and
if you don't you are nonentity. The
preacher knows one thing, the saloon
man another, but the newspaper man
is expected to know it all.

Hon. Wiley E. Jones, district attor-

for this position are quite numerous in

in creditable manner We haven't
much choice as between those men

Straw berries and cream at Phoenix,

One price, one treatment, accorded

congressional aid. A delegation of New
England ministers was present and
urged the passage of the bill, but a ma

It is thought that not many OF the
cattle buyers or brokers will lose their
forfeit money, by the time the season
has expired. Some will manage to get
the time of delivery postponed until
fall and others will be able to make the

deals were all in good faith and this
journal hopes no one will be obliged to
lose on account of circumstances over
which he bad no control.-Stockman.

INCONGRUITY.

Now, can't you imagine how an Amer
lean would have spoiled the serge? Doubt
less it would have been well cut and well
hung enough, but her vest would have
been one color, her pettcoat another.
She would have spOrted q sailor hat, or
maybe a Panama, trimmed with black
satin ribbon, and quilts of the same hue.
And, l dare wager, her gloves would
have been the ugliest shade Of tan she
could beg, borrow, or buy. Now, mind,
] am not saying one word against the
Panama. or sailor hat and its trimmings
as a hat 1t is not unduly expensive,
which is in its favor, and it is neat, which
is still more in its favor. But, OH do let
me beg Of you to wear It with a vest
and petticOat matching as nearly az pos
sible in hue, for the gain TO your APP
pearance will DO something enormous.
But" you urge. al can't afford a petit
coat to match each OF my dresses. 1t
would be so expensive" Then, let that
serge be lined either with its own hue,
in which case let me advance the claims
of a dark-blue petticoat--of sateen for
preference and hard wear-made with
flounce, edged with a coarse make OF
Torchon lace, which you must dip I'm
either tea or coffee until II is as nearly
as possible the shade of your Panama
straw; or else let the serge. and. indeed
all your darker dresses, be lined with
black, and wear smartly-made black
glace silk petticoat. Then let your vest
be of ecru muslin, or even imitation grass
lawn, If chiffon Is too fragile and
costly. Tuck il as deliberately as you
know how. or let the dressmaker do 1t
for you, and see. moreover. that those
same tucks are run with black silk. At
