divorced women are hardly in my line.
No, there was no excuse for her, and it
was only my luck. You fell in love with
the right woman, and 1 fell in love with
the wrong one-that's all"
A woman came down the corridor as
he spoke the last words, tall, elegant
woman, in modish gown, whose gleam-
ing folds chung closely to her slender
figure. A boy of eight or nine years
held her by the hand, and both looked
out on the world with the same eyes,
great, beautiful, gray eyes, at once
proud and sad.
As the woman's eyes met Frink's they
dilated suddenly, and he started with
sharp pain at his heart that caught
his breath.
How had she come there just then
the very woman of whom he had been
talking? AS he started up Teller
glanced around and then rose also with
happy smile.
''Ah, Lucille" he cried, 81 have met
an old friend, Ned Frink. He must be

made Frink vince inwardly as he bowed
tremendously.
'Pm very glad to meet Mr.. Frink,'
she said, calmly. How well he knew her
voice.
you'll dine with us, 1 hope, Ned
called Teller, over his shoulder, as he
started on with the boy.
"Thank you, no. leave for Denver
in half an hour" replied Frink.
Then a sudden surge in the crowd
brought some one between them for a
moment, and the woman turned to him,
abruptly.
The pitiful appeal in her eyes went
straight to Ffink's heart, and he felt
his own eyes grow dim with tears.
''He does not Know" she said, simply.
''He never SHALL" cried Frink.-Chi-
cago Herald.

Said to De q Good Berry.

praises the Logan berry highly. 1t is
called blackberry, but it is claimed to
be cross between the wild blackberry
and the red Antwerp raspberry, COM
bining the desirable qualities of both.
1t originated in California some ten
years ago. The flavor of the fruit is
unique, and unlike that of any other
variety. 1t is very hardy and prolific,
and fruit bears transportation we'll.
The canes are strong and of low growth,
and are destitute of thorns, so that
hands and clothing are not torn in pick
ing the fruit. 1t is as excellent for pre-
serving as for table use, all of which and
much more he takes column to tell.

Beekeeping for Farmers.

We believe that bees ought to be on
every farm, if there is anything at all
in the neighborhood for them 10 feed
upon. For the outlay there can be
nothing on the farm that will pay bet
ter or give more satisfaction. Honey
is a delicious and healthful article OF
diet. 1t is the most delicate sweet that
we have, and, as correspondent of the
Epitomist recently said, family will
consume an astonishing quantity of it.
For home consumption alone the sub
ject of beekeeping ought to be of in
terest to every farmer. AS product
for market there is much more profit
in honey than there is in butter on the
average farm. Honey will sell for cash
at all times. Butter does not as usual
thing.-Agricultural Epitomist.

THE STORM.
Hank! harki bark!

Hank! bark! bark!
Hark to the thunder's roar!
Hark how the maddened waves
Burst on the rock-girt shorei
LaShed by the furious winds,
Their foaming crests they rear.
Rush on with mighty bound,
Start back in Shuddering fear.
Hank to the rafting hail!
Hank to the driving rain!
The heavens, a blaze of light,
Throb as in Quivering pain;
And nature seems to work.
Unchecked, its own wild will,
While man looks on in awe,
And bird and beast are still.
God on the whirlwind rides,
The storm is meath His feet,
He holds in His right hand
The winds, His coursers fleet;
They bear creations Lord
In triumph on His way,
And in their maddest race
His slightest check obey.
The lightning is His glance,
His breath upheaves the sea,
The thunder His dread voice
OF awful majesty;
In natures seeming war
Its Maker walks abroad,
And all it's mighty powers
Are servants of our God.

Gathering Forest Leaves.

There is very little manurial value in
forest leaves, and that is mainly in the
potash they contain. They are less nj
trogenous than the straw of grain, and
the latter, if chopped fine, makes bet
ter absorbent of manure in stables.
Besides, all the forest leaves are needed
in the forests, where they serve as
mulch for the soil, preventing the
deep freezing that would injure tree
roots, and keeping the soil moist, fra
BILE and fertile at all seasons. The
leaf mould that a large load of leaves
would make could all be put on wheel
barrow, and it has little manurial value.

THE LEGISLATURE


The legislature adjourned last
Thursday all right, without any par
tlcular trouble. Like the California,
and the Delaware and the Utah legis.
~laLures, II adjourned without electing
a senator, but unlike them It did not
haye a chance to elect one. So this
should not be charged up against this
legislature. 1t would have elected
thlrty.six senator's, twelve from the
council aud twenty-four from the
house, II IL only had a chance.
The closing bours OF the legislature
were MT without Incident. The
council and the house could not at
1rst agree on several measures, notab-
ly some OF the expenditures provided
for by the appropriation bill, and the
law providing for a commission to look
out for the lands donated to tine terri.
tory by congress. The house was in
clined TO be much more liberal than
was the council. The honse nnally
had to give up to the senate and a
good many dollars were saved to the
people.
The bill proposed to regulate the in
surance companies, which nomlnally
was supposed to be for the benefit and
protection OF the people Of the terri
tory, but which actually was for the
purpose OF providing a fat office, that
OF insurance commissioner, was very
properly defeated. Kansas and Ne
braska have similar laws, and the in.
surance commissioners of these states
are a stencil IN the nOstrlls Of honest
men. The Nebraska commissioner is
now under indictment and the Kan
sas commissioner has been fred out Of
office, most of his queer work having
been done in New York, where the
criminal laws of Kansas did not reach.
1t Is we'll that no New Mexican is
placed under such temptations as
caused the fall Of these men.
ScventY-two bills passed both houses
and became laws. or these f~orty.six
were council bills and substitutes, and
twenty-six were house bills aud sub
stitutes. Whether the council pos
sessed more wisdom than the house
and SO produced more bills that were
needed, or whether the house was
lazier than the council, and 81 failed
to push more bills through, has noty e
been determined.
All OF the appointments. made by the
governor, except that sof Jefferson
Reynolds for treasurer were confirmed
The opposition to Mr.. Reynolds, who
has a most excellent record as a bank
er and anancier, seemed to be mostly
personal. His defeat leaves Samue

Governor Miller, as treasurer for th'
next two years.
