cuando han hallado oportunidad de
saciar enteramente Ia medida de sus
ambiciones personales. Ha habido
profetas patrioticos que con frases ora
culares y profundo disimulo han re-
presentado el doble papel de traidores
y salvadores del pueblo, concretando-
Sc su don de profecia en- la utilldad
pecunaria que han obtenido para 81
mismos. Ha habido tambien profelas
que reclamando monopolio exclusive
de servidores y protectores del pueblo,
han empleado la Influenza que ejer-
cen sobre sus discipulos en- incitarlos
al NAL, en- predisponerlos contra la
gente pacifca inofensiva con ell OBJ
jeto de dar lugar a ultrajes y desma-
nes que sembraran el terror en- todas
parties. Estos mismos profetas han
pasado por muchas transformaciones y
cambios, representando papeles dia-
mitralmente opuestos, en- los cuales
han dado pleno yuelo al don de pro-
fecia que es su arma mas efectiva para
sojuzgar los animos y opiniones de sus
compatriotas.
En- la actualidad son muchos los
profetas que Sc han aparecido en- di-
ferentes parties del Territorio anun-
ciando un nuevo mensaje de paz y
prosperidad-a al pueblo de Nuevo Mex
leo, promulgando una nueva doctrina
que, segdn pretenden, sera la panacea
universal y efectiva para todos los ma
les presentes y futuros que adolecen al
pueblo. Todos estos profetas en- su
propaganda tienden un mismo fin
aunque sus ensehanzas sean diierentes.
Unos predican una union politica GU

de los votantes bajo la direction ab-
soluta de los profetas que quieren

tar los males del pueblo, las injusticias

Lo bonito de estos profetas y 10 mara

do 10 mayor parte de ellos ignorantes,

Victoria and Holm Brown.

"Pol Manear'' is favorite cast near
Balmoral castle and was always held
as the special preserve of the late John
Brown, her majesty's personal attend
ant. John was an enthusiastic and in
veterate fisher, and often the royal
larder was indebted to his prowess for
its supplies Of spring salmon when the
rods Of the other fishermen failed to
bring them to the bank. 1t is anthem
tically reported among anglers on Dee
side that when the queen wanted John
he was Immediately at her call, except
when angling, and at such times she
studied not to disturb him. The taoit
understanding between them is said to
have arisen i'll the following fashion
Her majesty one day sent an imperative
message to the river side, desiring John
to Immediately wait upon her.
"Tell her majesty, - replied John, in
his usual Doric, THAT I am rinnin a
salmon and l Gamma come.''
The messenger came back to him in
hot haste saying that the queen desired
to see him this very minute.
Well, tell her majesty this time
that am rinnin a salmon and I Wilma
come, :" and that settled it-Pearson s

Queer Funeral Mistake. In Maine.


There have been some queer mistakes
made Of all kinds, but this is one Of
the most unusual and undesirable, al
though no real harm was done: A man,
one time prominent in professional life
Of this city, died. He was member of
a certain society In this city, which
sent representatives to the funeral The
members of the organization were mott
fed Of the death Of their fellow mem
Der by postal cards sent out by the Sec
rotary. One of the cards was addressed
to and delivered at the late residence of
the dead member, inviting him 10 at
tend his own obsequies.
A similar incident was, if anything,
worse. A member of a secret society
died and his fellows were notified of
his death and the time and place of the
funeral, as usual. A card was delivered
at the address of the dead man, directed
to him in his own handwriting He
had been the secretary of the organiza-
tion and had addressed sets of postal
cards to tie members at his leisure.
When a member died, set of the adj
dressed cards were sent to the printer,
who printed the name of the deceased
member on the back with the other
matter used in the notice. So when the
secretary died his assistant or successor
sent set Of the cards to the printer,
so that the dead man was sent one adj
dressed by his own hand. Portland

Thought tbs Conductor Shot an Angel

An engineer running over the Pan
handle branch of the Santa Fe is some
what supergtitious and believes in
warnings.
One night he was rolling along at q
good rateof speed, when he saw clear,
white light, like a will-o'- the wisp,
dancing around just over the track few
hundred feet in front of him. He shut
off steam and came to stop-as quickly
as he could. The conductor and train
crew came running up to the engine to
see what was the matter.
"There is some one swinging Ian
tern across the track" said the en-
gineer, and the crew went ahead to in
yestigate.
"We can't find any one,'' reported
the rear brakeman, and the engineer
pulled out again, but he went slowly,
and in few minutes he stopped again.
The crew went ahead once more to see
what was the cause of the light. The
conductor, who was good shot, drew his
revolver and at the second shot he made
ut the mysterious light there was a crash,
scream and the light went out and
something white came fluttering down
from the clouds.
The superstitious engineer was scared.
"You've shot an angel, sure, - he said
to the conductor, with his face pale as
death.
Investigation brought out the fact
that small boy with a lantern tied to
the tail Of his kite was the cause of it
all, but it leases the engineer to say any
thing about shooting angels. TO

Meals In France.

The French are very temperate in
food and drink, a cup of coffee with a
piece Of bread being considered quite
sufficient until noon, when the dejeuner
Ia fourchette is served. This consists
Of first course of eggs or macaroni, a
second of ono chop each or stew, and a
third of fruit and cheese. Plenty Of
bread always good i'll France) is eaten
during the meal, but butter rarely, and
a glass or two CT wine diluted with wa
ter, but never iced or sweetened, is
drunk by each member of the family,
including the children. Dinner, usually
at 7 O'Clock, is little more elaborate
meal, from which soup and salad are
seldom omitted, and black coffee is
often served with cognac at the end.
Owing to the fact that SO much chicory
is used French coffee is not much to the
taste of Anglo-Saxons. have never yet
had what I call a cup of "good" coffee
In France, whereas in Vienna and Mu-
mich it is simply delicious. Coffee be-
ing very dear in France go cents per
pound for good quality may account
for the excessive use of chicory.

Guns For BattIeshfpa.

1t appears that the tendency,in the
brltlsh and the United States navies is
to reduce the number Of guns and to in
crease their arcs Of fire and also to have
10 guns above inch caliberlfor sup
porting tho II or ID inch. This method
OF decreasing the number and,caliber of
guns Is an ideal theory for reducing
weights, but ships are built to carry
guns and to fight, and it would seem
better to reduce weights elsewhere than
III the battery and ammunition.
In an engagement between battleships
OF similar arEor and displacement
which one will probably be the victorS
There can be but enc answer. It will be
the ono that effectively delivers the
greatest amount Of steel against thaoth-
CT ship. During tho engagement,each
snip will necessarily lose the use of nu-
merous guns and men, and thereforethe
ship that carries the larger number of
guns and that has a reserve force: Of men
below il protected places for filling the
vacancies at the remaining guns will
certainly have the advantage, and some
obscure gems that are generally looked
upon with t:isfavor on account Of their
small arcs or fire may, at the critical
moment when their companions of larger
arcs are dislnounted, become the means
OF insuring victory. E. W.

ABDALLAH'S LESSON.
Abdallah, pious above all mankind,
Who d1ualt In Mean ,norrinn noo,,

Abdallah pious above all mankind,
Who dwelt in Mecca, morning, noon and
night
His voice to Allah raised in prayer contrite
Was he and humble, pure in mind.
Inspired of heaven he-not SO his wife.
She daily stood the market place within
And bought and sold, nor deemed it any sin
To mingle there in scenes of toll and strife.
While thus he prayed she earned the food he
ate,
But oft he reprimanded her Said he:
''Thou shouldst devote thy life to prayer,
like me.
Serve not thyself. Allah alone is great!"
At last his words sank deep into her heart.
Said she: "While Allah shall my poor life
spare
My voice to him I'll raise in holy prayer.
Henceforth Of Righteousness am part"
Abdallah's heart was glad, and, side by side,
They prayed until the sun in heaven was
high.
Then hunger to the pious man drew nigh
And loudly clamored to be satisfied.
Abdallah's wife still prayed. No food was
there
The good mans soul was vexed. "'Tis
plain he said,
THAT even piety must needs be fed,
And man cannot exist alone by prayer
And thus he learned ''Faith without works,
Is dead,'
And, profting by what he learned, straight
He went to work and prospered from that
day
And thanks to Allah gave for daily bread.

THE FARMER WON.
But Schaefer Considers It the Shortest
Game of His Life.

But Schaefer Considers 1t the Shortest
Game of His Life.
"Some years ago." said sporting
man, "when Schaefer kept a billiard
room in this city, he was always ready
to play all corners who desired game.
Many strangers and people unknown to
Sohaefer naturally strolled in; many,
too, who probably did not know him.
But it made no difference to Schaefer.
Sometimes strangers would desire to
play for money, but this Schaefer would
never do. To all such propositions he
would say: No, won't play for mon
ey, but I'll tell you what I will dol
will play game, the loser to treat the
house
Zone day an old farmer entered the
place, and after wandering about look
ing at the pictures on the walls and ex-
amining the tables he asked if there
was any one present who would like to
play him game Of billiards. Schaefer,
as usual, said that he would play the
stranger.
How much shall we play for?' ask
ed the farmer.
"1 never play for money replied
Sehaefer, but will play you for the
drinks for the house.
"'Al1 right, said the farmer. How
many points shall we play?'
"'Oh, replied Schaefer demurely in
all the consciousness of his superior
powers, we'll just play until you are
satisfied, and we will call that game. ,
1.-THE crowd smiled as the players
prepared for the contest. The balls were
placed on the table, and schaefer
brought out his favorite cue, and it fell
to his lot to open the game.
"The opening shot in billiard game
is a somewhat difficult one, as most
players know, and Schaefer, probably
through indifference, missed it. He not
only missed 1t, but left the balls close
together near one Of the cushions. tt
was what is termed in billiard parlance
set up
''The old farmer carefully chalked
his cue and after deliberation made the
shot. He then gazed at the balls mo-
ment laid down his cue and exclaimed:
Il am satisfied
1.-THE score was then 1 to in favor
of the old farmer, but as Schaefer had
agreed to make the game as long or
short as the farmer desired he had to be
satisfied. Schaefer of course had to in
vite all present, including his copqueror,
to partake of the hospitality of the
house. AS the crowd laughed and drank
Schaefer remarked that the game was
the shortest he had ever played, and
probably the shortest on record. New

Flower Printers.

About the last Literary work oomplet-
ed by the late Cora Stuart Wheeler was
beautiful tribute to "Sorne Court
Painters to Queen Rose" published in
The Woman's Home Companion, in
which she says:
Gas a rule, women make the best
flower painters. The men who excel in
this branch Of art are comparatively
few, even when we consider the small
number Of artists of both sexes who
have acquired reputation in the pictur
ing Of flowers. The reason is not diff
cult to see The average woman has
fondness for flowers which brings her
into the closest sympathy with them
and enables her to appreciate and I'M
derstand them as men seldom do. In
the Interpretation of certain subtle
phases of floral life her sensitive tenn
permanent and the peculiarly sympathetic
feeling that she is apt to bring to her
labor of love especially qualify her for
engaging in this department Of picture
making In point of technical ability
some marvelously clever work has been
done by artists Of the gentler sex in the
reproduction Of flowers and in the
treatment Of difficult subjects"

THE FOURTHlN THE SOUTH.
Some Reasons For Reviving an Ancient
and Honorable Custom.

Some Reasons For Reviving an Ancient
and Honorable Custom.
We propose that the people of the
south revive the celebration of the
Fourth of July. The animosities of the
late war have been buried, and ought
not any longer to interfere with our OBJ
servance of the anniversary of the natal
day of the republic. We see once again
a united country, the north and the
south Joined in war against foreign
foe, southern men wearing the uniform
of blue and southern men bearing the
flag of our republic. Why, if there were
nothing else to rejoice over, this spec
tacle itself should arouse enthusiasm
But there is more than this. This spec
tacle is the result Of the form Of gov
eminent bequeathed to us by our ances-
tors, and that government itself was the
first great result of the Declaration Of
Independence, which was given to the
world on the Fourth of July, 1776.
Indeed it is something worth cele-
brating, this anniversary of the begin
ming Of a republic in which such a
thing can be accomplished We appeal,
therefore, to our people to take advan-
tage of this fortunate opportunity to
revive an ancient and honorable Gus
tom. Let the Fourth of July be cele-
brated let public exercises take place;
let us have an Grafton, parade of the
civic and military societies and wind
up the day with liberal combustion Of
punpowder. It will do MS all q world
Of good. Mobile Register.

The Youngster Cuts His Finger,


"Wef1," said Mr.. Goslington, "the
youngster has cut his finger. The only
surprising thing is that he didn't do it
the first day he got the knife. How he
did 1t he doesn't know himself, except
that the knife slipped and the first thing
he knew his finger was bleeding. Then
he ian to his mother. His face was
white, but he didn't cry, which
thought was very brave, and I think SO
still. His mother washed the finger gen.
tly and then bound it up with a strip of
soft, worn, white cotton cloth tied
around not with a piece of common
cord, but with narrow strip torn off
the edge Of the cloth itself. I heard her
tearing 1t, and thought it sounded IA
miliar, and then remembered that was
the way my mother used to do up my
finger.
"Then the boy went around with
that finger held out straight from the
rest Of the hand and with a solemn
look on his face, but he couldn't stay
solemn long, and 1t was surprising how
quickly his finger healed too. Then his
mother put cot over it, finger cut
from an old kid glove Gust what my
mother used to do, too, and I wonder if
ali mothers do these things just alike),
to protect 1t for day or two more until
1t got fully we'll. That was wholly new
to him, and 1t pleased him very much.
He wore the glove finger with the proud
but reserved dignity of one convalescing
from saber stroke instead of a cut
from his first knife, and it all made me
feel young again myself. New York

Ono View of G Moot Point.

1t may be said that the little word
"my" placed before the word "dear''
has significance of its own. When
used between the ladies thus, "My dear
Mrs. A." it is to devote an extra
amount of cordiality and friendliness
and again when gentleman SO writes
to lady Of his acquaintance it has the
same reading. On the other hand, my
dear MIR. B. - is seldom OR never writ
ten by ladies to their men acquaintance,
dear Mr.. B." being considered suffi-
ciently affectionate. Elderly ladies,
however, are outside of this rule and
write "My dear Mr. B. f" to men whom
they have known as boys.-Philadel-
phia North American.
