GENIUS OF MAN,

The inventive genius ofman has new
er devised more novel means of tran
sit than one that has been put in the
experimental stage cooperation in Eng
land and known as the Halford system
of railway construction. In this road
the motive power is gravity alone and
it is so built that the cars are continu-
ously moving Oh Il down grade. As
near as can be described from the pub
lished notices of the roal the perma-
ncnt way is built in sections, hinged
together, each end being supported by
hydraulic ram. AS the train reaches
the junction of the two sections it puts
the hydraulic ram in operation so that
the ram rises, lifting the end of the sec
ton, together with the cars that are
upon it. This forms an incline, or
rather decline, down which the cars
move by their own weight The same
process is Eepeated with each section
and in this way the train is always
moving down Il falling gradient. OF
course the sections vary greatly both
in their length and steepness. The
greatest ingenuity is used in the con-
struction of the hydraulic machinery.
The water is conveyed in pipes laid be-
meath the rails and the admission of the
water to the cylinders of the rams is
controlled by electrical appliances on
the cars, or 10y the weight Of the train
depressing the section it is passing from
and in this way operating the water
supply valve. What success has been
gained is not known. but certainly the
novel affair must have some valuable
points to commend it to Il conservative
English capitalist to such an extent as
to induce him to give it an experimental
trial So every day we find illustrated
the truth of lIamlets remark: There
are more things in Heaven and earth,
Ioratio. than are dreamed of i'm our
philosophy. -Lrnc"Arr( 4" Examiner.

1t was evening, and the three Young
people who were carrying on the fore
going conversation were sitting in the
library. \ more discontented trio it
would have been difficult to find, and
most of their complaints were directed
at their father.
Meanwhile Mr.. Sampson had gone
to his office. and WAS sitting ut his
wr!ting-desk with his check book before

it was ohvous that he was troubled.

GREED OF TIL; FLAG.

At the Jackson Day banquet given by
the William J. Bryan League of Chicago
the following poem was read by Dr. H. s.
Taylor, of Chicago.
.'Who will hanl down the as:' qlotll he
And no man answer gave.
But who will hanl up the flag, ask we,
Where the Il ,g ought never wave"
Over arIusin; mission of spoil
That takes. Il matter of courS-.
\ subject race and conquered soil
And government based ON force!
Answer us.-answer us! true and fair,
Who will haul up Old Glory there.
..Who will haul down the faso'' quoth he
Nay think how it first went up
When War astrde Of the land and
Poured wrath from his brimmng cup;
When brave men died and left in bepueSt
One pledge for the great and the small;
Not stars for a few and stripes for the rest
But the flag of our country for all!
Answer us, truly and plainly, we pray,
Was that rot its meaning in WaShington'S day.'
From Washington s day to .Tackson's time,
From Yorktown to New Orleans.
Did any man follow that ia. sublime
And doubt what the symbol means!
Free, sci f-ruled States, each one as star
Fixed fast i'll a field of blue
Fenced in by the blOOd-red stripes of war
To preserve them for ME and you
Answer us, now, do you dare to drag
The old faith ont CT our fathers flag?
'.Who will haul down the flag" quoh lie.
Why, 40 hand Cf flesh and bone
Can lower that flag on land sea,
Till the faith of the flag is gone!
Till a few shall rule and cuhningly keep
The bunting to garnish their greed;
Till dollars are dear and humanity cheap
By the force Of a tory creed!
Then will it fall!-but answer us clear
DO you fancy that hour is drawing near:
Did our Liberty Bell ring in vain'
Was our declaration lie?
Must we turn to the old wor Id again
With the penitent prodigal's cry?
Must we arm us and march in the van
OF Europes barLaric parade
And boom out a gunpowdsr Cos pei TO nan
To open pathway for trade!'
Sial we strut through the world and bluster and
brag
Nav, haul up the lag-raise it high
Not yet is its spirit spent.
Let it sing in the wind and the sky
The truth that it always meant
Let it sing of the birthright Of man.
OF progress that never can lag;
Let it sing that trade may go where team,
But liberty follows the flag.
Yea, haul up Old Glory-but, comrades take heed
That no man shall part the old flag from the cree,i

over these money mattcrS."

!
Still the desire for a Gun and hun
terS suit fingered with the boy until
the first of September. Having sue
ceedcd in laying aside Il few dollars OF
! his harl-earned wages. he went to a
gun store I" price ,hcarticlr he desired
SO much.
"A good gun would cost You $40; Il
suit at least $40.
Herbert looked ut the man in dismav.
Why, he would have to work seven
and 4 half weeks to earn the required
sum! Besides, he needed a cheap suit
for everyday wear, and in few weeks
he would need an overcoat. He turned
away without making the purchase
Il can't spend my hard-earned wages
for such luNuries," he thought. as he
stepped out Of the door; land gun
and a hunters suit are luXuries. See
how much it costs for clothes for only
one person. and father has five persons,
not only to clothc. but also to support
in every way. | don't see how he
manages it! Poor father.' he added:
Il feel ashamed Of myself for the way
misunderstood him
In the mrinline. Mr. Simpson was
Watching his son struggles with deep
interest and sympathy.
Poor boy" he said to himself.
"llow he works and economies! |
think he has learned his lesson by this
time, and must help him
So one evening he said to his son:
"Well, Herbert, | would like very much
to have you 90 back to school this fall.
You ought to be better fitted for life
than you are. What is your opinion?"
But | can't earn my clothing, if I
go to school" protested Herbert.
Il will see to that, Herbert, if you
really want an education.
"Indced, | do-morc than anything
else" declared the boy, tears cleaning
in his eyes.
"Then give up your place at the
store and start to school next week.
Has your summers experience been OF
any value to vou?"
Ever So much,'' replied Herbert,
frankly. IL know what money is worth,
and I'm going to help you to save"
THANK you, my boy. We shall
avoid being niggardly, for that would
be as sinful an extreme rs extravaganza;
but if we can all agree to cconomize as
much as possible, it would help
After that, Herbert and his father
were mutual friends" they were
"chums'
The next day. Herbert called Clara
and Fred to his room and delivered to
them "a little of-hand Speech as he
called it.
1--WE learned some things this sum-
mer,' he said smiling pleasantly
"One is that it's hard to earn money;
another is that it costs a great deal
simply to live and get only the things
that we must have. And so, folks,
from this on I'm going to help father
to save. You and ought to take as
much interest in his bank account as
he does"
And so the Simpson children have
stopped grumbling and are helping
their father, instead OF worrying him.
And perhaps no part of Herbcrt's cdu-
cation will be more useful to him than
the lesson he learned out of school.

EXPOSURE TO DISEASE

Does not necessarily mean the contrac-
ton of disease provided the system is
in vigorous condition, with the blood
pure and all the organs in healthy
action. When in such condition
cold is readily resisted and the disease
germs can find no Judgement. Hoods
Sarasaparilla is the best medicine to
build up the system because it makes
pure rich blood, and pure blood is the
basis of good health In cold weather
it is especially necessary to keep up
the health tone because the body is
subject to greater exposure and more
liable to disease Hoods Sarsaparilla
is the safeguard of health.

Your correspondent is grieved to
hear the sad plight in which the

tory of the union whether a railroad
man is q desirable citizen, the answer
will be yes.
Mr.. Weir, foreman of the Shalam
Colony, is going to Iona Parda with
four trains next week to haul corn in

Busines So of the Shalam Dairy in Ell
Paso has increased so much lately, it

The story is current that good

as to the extent of the claim cannot say

very quiet.
The people of this burg, and espe-
| cially the postmaster, would like to

BLUE, ARIZ., Nov. DIR. Platt,
of Stafford, passed through this
place q few days ago on his way home
from St. Johns, where he had been to
attend court. The doctor tells US that
the Mexican who killed Miss VAIL. at
Springerville, a short time since, was
convicted at ST. Johns and will be hung
the FIRST Friday in December.
This will be the first legal hanging
in the history of Apache county, but
the condemned, though youth of
nineteen, certainly deserves his fate,
as the murder was very brutal and
altogether unprovoked. Miss Wahl
was only IA years of age.
Biff Rogers, q we'll known goat man
of this place, has gone to Stafford to
have surgical operation performed.
He will be under the care of doctors
Platt aud Green. Biff has many friends

Desperate Fighting.

Gen. Otis cabed the wtr de-
partmcnt under date of the 18th
as follows:
"Lawton's troops had severe
engagement to-day with the enc
my in strong entertainments at
the crossing of the Zapote river
near Bakoor, Cavlte province, and
have driven the enemy with heavy
loss. Our casualties some thirty.
The insurgents in the southern
section were not molested until
they threatened an attack in
strong force on Manila. They are
now scattered and in retreat and
it is doubtful if they make fur
Their stand"
The rebels commenced opera
tions at daybreak by dropping a
couple of shells from q smooth
bore gun in front of the church
in the navy yard. The gunboats
Callao, Manila and Mosquito dis
mounted the gun. The gunboats
then ran close along the shore and
joined by the Princeton, Monte
rey and Monaduock dropped big
shells among the rebes. This
seemed to rouse the rebels still
more and they vigorously replied.
The gunboat Helena joined in
and it looked dubious, but the
enemy, who were at the mouth of
the Bakoor river, were forced to
retreat.
Companies f and | of the
twenty-hrst infantry were nearly
surrounded by large body of
insurgents, but managed to cut
their way out.
1t is reported that Gen. Luna
and Lieut.. Ramon were assasinat-
ed by Aguinaldo's guard at the
latter's headquarters. 1t seems
they were on their way to confer
with Aguinaldo, got into an alter
cation with the guard and were
bayonetcd to death.
