INVALID RIGHTS.
Every Sick Person should Have
Proper Food and Suitable
Surroundings.

We hear great deal of the rights OF
various members of the community.
The rights of the invalids are some
thing that should be seriously consid-
cred. Every sick person should have
suitable food properly served and quiet,
restful surroundings. Inyalids should
be kept free from visitors that will in
any way interfere with their restful
surroundings. There are great many
people who should never be admitted
to the sick-room. They are not fitted
to visit the sick. The presence of the
trained nurse in the sickroom who in
sists that visitors should be strictly
prohibited when there is the slightest
risk from their presence, has done more
than anything else to establish prece-
dent in this matter. 1t Is no longer the
custom to visit the sick, to their own
destruction. A great many people in
former times were visited to death.
Cheerful people are welcome at the
proper time in the sickroom, but at no
time should an invalid be bored with
people who come out OF curiosity or
any other but kindly intent. Any ply
siclan win issue orders II requested to
do so that no visitors shall be admitted,
and this is excuse enough for excusing
ones self to unweloome visitors.
The food Of invalid Should be daintily
served. and only small amount should
be served at once. Ittemps the appetite
to bring dainty allowance, which may
be easily supplemented with more xf
needed. A complete q uge Of fare, OF
even meal served on.1Ifferent dishes,
with q cluster Of bright flowers added
will often induce languid invalid to
eat who would otherwise refuse food.
As soon as an invalid Is convalescent
enough to do something to occupy time
and hand. and the physician win allow
i, she should be allowed to do so. Moth
ing is more dangerous than the brood

cents are prone. Work of the simplest

cattle association to hunt out cattle thieves
there had been an extraordinary amount
of cattle stealing going on for some time,
and cattle stealing, like all other crimes, is
u terrible thing when it is found out.
According TO the prosecuting lawyers,
the prisoners had every reason to fear the
Indictments of the cattle associations law
yer, and the prisoners were well known as
men desperate in emergencies and very
handy with guns. Certain it is that no one
had seen or heard of Fountain or his son
since a certain afternoon when they started
TO drive from one town to another, distance
of a dozen or SO miles. SomeWay out of
town the two met the mail-carrier, and Col
Fountain called his attention to three men,
who he said had been shadoWing him ever
since he left town.
The men were too far away to be recog-
niZed, but it was seen that one rode a white
horse, and that they were watching. The
mail-carrier replied carelessly,, and drove
on about his duties; but that was the last
known of the lawyer and his son.
The next day the two were missed, and
the hue and cry was raised, and searching
parties went out. Tracks of a wagon, fol-
lowed by the tracks of three horses, were
found, and place where the wagon had
been violently sweryed aside, the wheels
cutting deep into the sand. There was
also pool Of blood, and going away from
it tracks of men, OF horses and of a little
boy: That was all-nothing but tracks, a
pool OF blood. and a man and boy missing.

"Why, he is Sheriff in his town. and the
ladies say they never felt SO safe in their
lives as now, that he is in charge of the
town" But he was not the only American
who was first in peace and first in war;
There was the clever lawyer for the
defense, e,--brother-in-law to the brother-in-
law of the prisoner,-a tall, slim. fine
faced man, with hair and eyes as black as
night, and of general aspect fit for a
Tennyson. He drawled every word to an
unusual value. and held one to them, and
never said one too many. He pounced
upon witnesses of the other side with the
swiftness, stiffness, and unexpectedness of
a panther, and was as soothing and gentle
to the rasped nerves of his own witnesses
as a mother singing a lullaby. A clever
one, this lawyer, always alert for attack,
erect for defense, always watching; with
enough humor to save him, and not a
clumsy superabundance.

impressed upon him how important are
trails. The country looks as though one
might simply get on horse and ride off
into the boundleSSness over hills ana into
the gulleys, and finally reach some place;
but, to the contrary, every witness and all
the men about seemed to think Ii abSo-
lutely necessary that if Col Fountain left
the country he must have gone by one of
three or four well-known trails, and have
been seen by some one, or he must have
been murdered and his body hidden. They
say no man can go across the country at
random without coming to the direst dis
treSs and probable death for lack of water
But it also surprises one to realize that,
in our most modern civilization, the old
trails of the buffalo still dominate; that
one of our chief railway Systems-the
Baltimore &, Ohio-foilows an old buffalo
trail. The animals sought out and kept
the shortest routes to water, between the
mountains and across the plans and
deserts. The Indians followed the buffalo
trails. The pioneers found the Indian
trails the easiest routes, and stage-coach
roads, and finally railways, We're built
along the same paths.
TYPES OF MEXICAN JURYMEN.
But the 12 men for whose benefit this
was all being rehearSed-jurorS who watch
ed witnesses, listened to the Judge and the
lawyers; the 12 stolid, ignorant men who
had it in their power to give life or take it
away from the two men-these real Judges
who represented the highest justice that
men through all the ages with all of their
garnered wisdom has been able to perfect
what of them? Here sat the jlrymen,
obviously not the equals in intelligence or
force of the prisoners. They were an
unkempt, low-browed, dull-faced lot; among
them three Mexicans who could not read,
write nor speak the English language.
And yet, from the first, one was impressed,
with the fact that it was to be a fair trial.
These men listened conscientiously; they
seemed to be without or to restrain preju-
dice. s4s-r -.s
The facts of the case, after long and
violent reiteration from the six lawyers, the
witnesses all being recalled-the right and
wrong of the case, seemed to come to their
slow understanding, and they performed
their Office of jurors fairly and well. They
listened to the Judge carefully while he
slowly explained to them the phases of the
law in this case; then they filed out sham
bling and serious. In seven minutes they
announced their verdict ready-"Not
guilty" And it was the verdict of all un-
prejudiced beholders, who saw only the
case as it appeared in court.
The prosecution and their side had
slipped out of the room, anticipating the
verdict. 1t was midnight. The case had
been a firing, exciting one. We watched

the same time siding most unqueStionably
with her husbands party.

witness who was on the ragged edge OF
perjury. Hes got a wife and big family

against the boys; but told my husband il
he did not need him to let him alone. Well,
I'll have his family to look out for if my
husband gets him in the penitentiary."
THE MEXICAN INTERPRETER.
There was the interpreter, fat, jolly
Mexican, who said everything over in
Mexican for the benefit of the three Mexi-
can jurors, and who was as nimble- tongued
in interpreting as the lawyers We're in
talking, and chased lawyers, Judge, and
witnesses along their speeches with one
unchanging accent. The lawyers might
thunder and roar, plead and hiss-he

rarely, would bring the whole proceedings
to a halt while he converted picturesque

in some innocent labor or amusement,
saw the man coming into his ranch. The
man left his wagon outside, and asked for
a drink. While he was drinking he told
the witness that he had a wagon-load of
"dinnamite' out there: that he was going
on to the next ranch, where one of the pris-
onerS lived, and he was going TO blow it
up. He was going to ask the ladies to step
outside. and then he was going to set fire
to the "dinnamite," and blow up the house

pines by putting to the sword all the Span
iards in the Archipelago. Manila, Of
course, was the seat Of the supreme council
of the Katipunan, and its branches or
chapters were established in all the PROV
inces and principal towns of the islands.
Every member, on being initiated into
the society, received a name by which he
was always thereafter known to the ether
members, and all were masked. In this
way no one knew the identity of any other
member and even mans neXtdoor neigh
Dor or his brother or partner in business
might be seated next to him nightly at the
Katipunan lodge and he would never be the
wiser. AT initiation the new member took
a bloody oath and subscribed to 1t by dip
ping his pen in the blood drawn from an
lncision in his left arm. This idea is said
to have been derived from painting called
"Paeto de Sangre," executed in Madrid by
a famous Filipino painter, Juan Luna.
After the revolution broke out in 1896, the
members of the Katipunan could always
be identified among the dead and prisoners
by the scars.
A symbolic chart was in the possession
of each member and by that he could find
the Katipunan lodge in the provinces or
towns wherever he might be and identify
himself by means of it. As an example of
the names borne by the members, Gen.
Ricarte, now in the Insurgent army, was
known under the name of 'Vivora," mean
ing viper, poisonous snake. The present
Gen. Pillar, of whom so much is heard in
the uprising against the Americans, is not
the Pillar of katipunan fame, though it is
generally taken for granted he is. The
present Pillar assumed that name some
years ago, but his characteristics are such
as to easily lead one to believe that he and
the Pillar who originated the Katipunan are
