Mrs. DehIholm Says She Was Treated
With Marked Cruelty.

Mrs. May Dehlholm of Salinas, who
was reported to have eloped with Chris
Widemann, son of Supervisor A. Wide

She denies the allegation, says she did

Passes and the Dalton Trail. Mr..
Choate and Lord Salisbury have not
touched the question of the shore
boundary. the marine line, nor the nat
uraI monuments which are to deter
mine them, nor the interpretations ca
pable of being put upon the calls OF
the treaty by which we acquired
Alaska, and the documents which set
tie the elder lines of demarcation be-
tween Russian and British territory.
The vexatious question remains, 1or
instance, whether the, outer boundary
is a line ten marine leagues from the
mainland coast, or from the outermost
islands along the coast. The present
agreement is but a provisional one, by
which there is concurrence of opinion
as to the line crossing at three speclfled
places-the old Canadian custom-house
on the White Pass, the present Cana
dian custom-house on the Chilkoot
Pass, and a point on the Dalton Trail
near and just above the settlement OF

SHE s11uGGLED SOME TEA.
But She Suffered Much During the
Ordeal and After.

snail never say again that there does
not breathe a woman who wouldn't
smuggle II she had right good chance,
Tor l heard yesterday of one in this
very town who declares that she will
never, never try to evade the customs
duties. Never again,'* are the exact
words, for, like all her sisters who
journey to foreign climes, she once
yielded to temptation and smuggled. 1t
was all because of, some surpa ssingly
excellent tea she came across in En-
gland-tea the like of which she has
never known before. She knew there
was none of it to be had in America,
SO she bought pounds and pounds of 1t
to bring home with her. She didn't
mean to pay duty on it, for she felt
that NO really patriotic American can
consistently pay a tea tax after what
our ancestors did in Boston harbor, SO
she made herself petticoat, and into
the lining thereof she quilted the tea.
When the steamer drew into port she
put on the garment. To wear lit was
martyrdom. 1t seemed to weigh a ton.
She could scarcely walk in it, and the
hang of her new going ashore gown
was utterly ruined by it, but the GUS
tom house officials let her pass without
suspicion. She went directly to the rail-
way station and started for Washing
ten. The journey will live long in her
memory for its discomfort. Her hus-
band met her at the station. lie
marked her pale, worn look. AS they
stepped into the carriage she told him
the story.
Il wasn't going to let them get ahead
of me-" she said proudly. Wasn't it a
lovely idea?''
Her husband fell back in the carriage
and roared.
Lovely" he said Lovely! I should
say it was. Why, my dear, there isn't
any duty on tea

but few know the labor and expense he
bestowed on the preparation for it. I
remembered, for instance, his painting
a horseman, in dress of the last cen.
tury, passing along a deserted road in a
strong wind. The cloak was flowing
and the head of the rider, with his cap
over his ears, was bowling before the
storm, which was bringing on heavy
clouds and lashing the grass and trees.
Both the horse and the rider We're first
beautifully modelled in wax The for
mer model had bride and saddle ele-
gantly worked out In every detail from
the real materials. The riders cloak,
hat, and spurred boots were also minia-
ture masterpieces, executed after draw
ings of the period. In order to get the
folds of the twisting cloak it was dipped
into thin glue, SO that it stiffened in its
proper pose. In short, everything was
ingeniously fitted up so as to insure the
greatest possible perfection of the pic
ture, and showed, at any rate, very un-
common demands upon the artists skill.
But how did you paint the snowy
road in your picture of Napoleon in
1912" l asked him. In reply. he
picked out from under the table a low
platform, about a meter and half
square, and said: "On this 1 prepared
all that was required; snow, mud and
ruts. / kneaded the clay, and pushed
across it this piece of cannon several
times, up and down. With a shcd hoof
I then pressed the marks of the horses
feet; / strewed flour over it, pushed the
cannon across again, and continued to
do SO until obtained the semblance Of
a real road. Then salted it, and the
road was ready" What did you salt
it for?'' ITO get the brilliancy of the
snow. Why do you smile? How else
could you do it?" 1T was very III,
genious," answered. "Je vous fails
mes compliments. But, if / had been
you, should have gone to Russia,
where nearly every road is dug UP in
the way you represented, and should
have painted a study from nature"
Yes! But nous autres Parisiens do not
move about SO easily"

Dispatches at hand which have the
appearance Of verify, state that the in
srrGents have fed to the mountains.
and linus their much boasted strong
hold Is now I'M our hands. Spanish re-
leased prisoners tell hard stories Of the
insurgents, and represent them as de-
morakzed, devoid of sufficient ammu-
milton and food and the people as ter
rorized by them and not sincerely op-
posing the Americans. However, the
Filipino Is a willy fellow. and inasumch
as the Amigos fire upon our men when
their backs are turned. we may well
discount stories of friendliness on the
part of those who have been siding
with the insurgents. There is a de-
mand maturing for the sending of Gen
era1 Miles to Manila to take general
charge of the campaign. The belief is
growing that the present General in
charge lacks vigor, and steadiness Of
purpose. We shall not be surprised to
see the Administration yield to the de-
sire to have the General commanding
the army Of the United States take en-
tire charge of the Philippine campaign.

A Word From Sir Walter.

Above all, Sir Walter Scott was the
champion of youth, and it is the frag-
rance of the springtime that breathes
through his stories In his day writing
for young people had not became pro-
fession, otherwise there is no knowing
what he might have done for US; still,
he has done enough; and oddly, too,
his heroes and heroines are almost
without exception very young-no older,
indeed, than many schoolgirls and
boys, and certainly not SO we'll educa-
ted, though, poor things. the stress Of
the times made them sadly wiser in the
ways of the world.
1t is only necessary to cite a few ex-
amples. Naturally "Ivana1oe' is the
first suggestion. Rowena was fifteen
when the story opens, Rebecca very lit.
tie older. and Ivanhoe himself was net
of age. Quentin Durward was nineteen
and Isabelle Of Croye, his sweetheart,
was scarcely fifteen, while her Aunt
Hameline was thought quite elderly at
thirty Catherine, the fair maid of
Perth was not more than seventeen.
Edith Plantagenet, the heroine of THE
Talisman," was about the same age.
Mary Avenel, in THE Monastery" was
teen, while the two brothers, Halbert
and Edward, were about seventeen and
fifteen respectively. Catherine Seyton,
in "The Abbot" was not above sixteen.
and Roland, the page, was scarcely
older. Di Vernon rofnped with the dogs
and the horses Anne of Geierstein was
a child, and Arthur Stanley merely
precocious boy; and so all through his
stories, except in a few rare instances,
when the tales treated Of later epoch,
when maturity was not forced upon
children.
The same may be said of the char
acters in his poems, and here it is more
especially apparent among his hero
ines; his men are more thoughtful, and
certainly older in most instances. The
spirit of youth runs through everything
Scott touched, and is the secret alike of
the unwavering interest in his works,
and of the love and yeneration for the

Stockton Independent: New Mexi-

their f1ocks on the reservations because
there is drouth and their own lands
do not afford sufficient feed. This is
merely request that Uncle Sam r. axe
up the deficiencies of nature Why
not bore well and ask Uncle Sam to
put the water in it,? Still, the de-
mand is not to be wondered at The
silver producers who dug out silver SO
plentifully that it was reduced to a
value OF 90 cents an ounce wanted
Uncle Sam to do something to make it
worth $1.29 an ounce and one of the
great political parties of the country
made it an ISSUE It would not be
surprising were the Democrats to
pounce upon the starving sheeo of New
Mexico and make free grazing" the
campaign cry of 1900. They have tried
free trade and free silver, aad while
Cleveland was in many had to rely cn
free soup and free lunches. 80 If free
grazing is. ever to have an inning it
should be in 1900.
OF AN ALLIANCE.
Yreka Journal The German Amer
leans at Chicago are agitating the
question of opposing any alliance be-
tween the United States and England,
but there is no danger of that. If any
people attack the Americans and Eng
lish. however, on account of regarding
both as enemies, lke the Samoan at
tack, encouraged by German officials
force of circumstances makes them
fight together in self defense. The
same result would occur if Americans
and Germans or any other people were
thus attacked. The United States de-
sires no alliance with any other nation,
but does not intend to be domineered
by Germany or any other country.

Twice has he been driven inland, and
twice established a State, only to be
forced from it, and now he reasonably

chooses, and without interference from
without. Who would not fight under
like conditions?
It is either fight, or hand over the
Government and all it is worth to
foreigners who have nothing in sympa-
thy with these sturdy descendants Of
Holland The Boer represents a small
and comparatively weak State. But
he is by no means a small or weak
man. He is famed for his sturdiness,
his independence of character, his cour-
age, backed by profound religious con-
viction Of the Righteousness of his
cause, and then he is Injured to hard
ship and shoots straight and to kill.
1t is true he is obstinate, uncom-
murricative. and, indeed. surly, when
matters Of his own concern are in
quired into by strangers. That he not
only will fight, but can fight. was DEM
onstrated at Majuba Hill. That he
knows how to fight an invading force
and will do it, was proved by the skill
with which he herded and crushed
Jameson's raiders. He thus has back
of his courage and determination
belief that he can do again what he
has done already to the English.
He knows very little about machine

and the use of light artillery But he

for from childhood he is taught not
only not TO fear death, but to be ready
for ks summons at any moment What
the iBoar lacks are modern arms plenty
OF ofsammunition and artillery, as well as
knowledge OF the field Of battle. What
he has to his advantage is perfect
