. why, make up my mind to do it
and then it comes easy. Down in Har-
rah we can do whatever we make up
our minds to do"
But say said Sandy. DO you
like to eat those cakes?"
.'Of course. Our parents think that
it is best for us to learn all we can
about spelling and reading and type
writing and arithmetic and this far
distant planet that lights our night,
and so they make the cakes as nice as
they can be so that We'll like to learn
things. / think that history cake is
the best of the lot. because it's so nice
and sour, but grammar cake l don't
much like because it's sweet, and boys
don't like sweet things.
.'Oh, don't they though? We earthly
boys do. But say, can't you take me
up or down to Harrah and bring me
back before bedtime?"
why. I can if you don't weigh more
than fifty pounds. i can make up my
mind to go back to Harrah and take
you on my back if you're under fifty
in weight. If you weigh more than
that can't bulge you
Il weigh forty-seven,' said Sandy.
Then get on my back, said Jorroel,
jumping down from his invisible perch.
Sandy did so and then Jorroel climbed
up on the window ledge and made I'D
his mind as hard as he. could to go back
to Harrah.

That's where I came from, isn't it?''

That's where I came from, isn't it?'
he asked
Yes" answered Jorroel. going to a
closet and getting out a faralon.
I'VE call it the earth" said Sandy,
but 1 suppose it's your moon?"
Yes" said JorroePs mother, but
we call YOUR earth Sush.''
Jorroel handed him the faralan,
which was much like a, telescope, and
he found that he could see New York
through it.
Nov, If you want to learn some
thing" said Jorroers mother, you
might eat some arithmetic-that always
comes in handy in any planet Jorroel,
get him the multiplication table up
to five. | don't believe he knows it
very well-if he's anything like you
Jorroel went to the closet and re-
turned in a moment with four sticks of
what looked like candy to Sandy S
earthly eyes. He found that they were
sour, yet not unpleasant, but not a bit
like candy. When he had eaten the
last one he knew his tables up to five.
I really think l must be going.
Mamma will worry said he.
I guess you can find your way back
alone, said Jo<roel. Go just as you
came, b. the milky way. And come
and see us often. I'll show you lots
of things You never saw before. and
I'd like you to pay us long visit, if
your mother doesn't object"
Yes said the mother, kindly, and
then she rubbed his cheeks again and
he followed Jorroel outdoors, or rather
out windows, because they don't have
doors in Harrah. Jorroel took Sandy
by the ankles and hurled him by main
strength toward the rising earth, and
a few moments iof rushing space
brought the boy to his window sill just
as his dinner bell was ringing. He was
so hungry after his trip that he was
very glad to think that he would eat
and not read dinner On the way down
stairs he asked himself how much four
times four were, but he couldn't re-
member, and by the time he had been
helped to everything eatable on the
table, his trip to Harrah was so hay
and dream-like that he said nothing TO
his parents about it. But he hoped
that if it was a dream he would dream
some more about it.

Even in cases of illness. when it is nee

prove most salutary. In the picture the

resulting from a fire which had orig
mated in an immense oil tank. During
the fire large amount of property was
destroyed.
Among the witnesses was one of the

tank. He had given his testimony, and
the lawyer for the prosecution was

CAME TO NOTHING.
Only Hearsay in Albuquerque Contempt Of
Court Case,

In the district court at Albuquerque
Chief Justice Mills yesterday heard tes-
timony in the cause wherein Joe Bada-
racco was charged with contempt of
court in saying he had things 'fxed' to
secure Judgment in the opera house
litigation before Judge Crumpacker 1t
was sworn to by various witnesses that
Badaracco did not in his talk mention
to them any official.
E. w. Dobson testified to great
many things heard by him, all corrobor-
| ating the rumors in circulation that Joe
Badarocco had stated that he was sure
of winning his case because he had paid
money to some one for decision in his
favor, but testified to- nothing coming
directly from Badaracco.
Mr.. Dobson referred to several con-
versations between himself and his
clients, Pete Badaracco and A. Viviani,
in the opera house case, in which his
clients said Joe Badaracco had told vari-
Gus parties that he (Joe) had things fixed
for decision in his favor. His aai<nts
kept insisting upon the fact that they
thought their case hopeless because of
the rumors that Joe Badaracco had fixed
things by payment of money to Sheriff
Hubbell, VINO was to use his influence
in his favor. He testified that they be-
came excited to degree that sugges-
tion was made by A. Viviani to call Joe
Badaraccos game and go him one better
by offering Sheriff Hubbell an increase.
He testified that they also wanted to
settle the case ont Of cOurt SO strong
was their belief that Joe Badaracco had
things fixed.
The defendant was put upon the stand
and denied ever having paid any money
to Hubbell or any one else, in regard to
this litigation, saying that the only
money he had paid out in the matter had
been paid to his lawyers for their SER
vices and said that he had never made
any deed of opera house property to
Hubbell or any one else except A.
Viviani
The court also called Sheriff Hubbell
as witness. He testified that he knew
nothing about the charges except what
he had heard. He had received no
the opera house affair, nor had he been
promised anything by anybody.
Judge Mills in reviewing the matter
said the bar of Bernalillo county was
won't to be groundlessly fault-fnding
and suspicious of the integrity of their
judges, and that on the case at bar
there was not particle of testimony
any of the allegations in the
information and he discharged the de-
fendant.

SHANNON'S MINE.
It Is Not Yet Sold But Is Under Working
Bond,

The published report that the Shan
non and Hughes copper property near
Clifton, AT, had recently been sold by
Charles M. Shannon, internal revenue
collector for Arizona and New Mexico
ur der the last Democratic administra-
tion, proves incorrect. Only provi-
sional sale has been made pending
further development of the property,
and the price agreed upon is consider
ably less than half million dollars. The
terms of the agreement referred to pro-
vide fora very considerable payment in
six months and the balance in one year.
Meanwhile the proposed purchasers are
to do development work on a somewhat
extensive scale, any ore thus extracted
to remain on the mine till the termina-
tion of the agreement. The parties con-
templating the purchase are mining
men controlling unlimited capital, and
from the past history of the Shannon
mine. as well as that of the Metcalf
group adjoining it and being worked on
a very large scale by the Arizona Copper
company, it would appear that the sale
is reasonably assured.

RIO ARRIBA COUNTY MINERALS.
A Party of Eastern Men Examine the
Country.

Colonel S. H. Bean, II. j. Sherwood,
DR.. D. Knapp, w. q. Rock and A. R.
Gibson returned home last evening from
a prospecting trip in Rio Arriba comfy.
AS result of the trip they will probably
locate 800 acres of placer ground in
that county. They took $50 samples
from the placers and sent them to Dem
yer and other places for assays. Mr.
Sherwood will leave this evening for the
east. Colonel Bean left this afternoon
for Ell Paso.
They have examined a number of
quartz properties in Santa Fe, Bernalillo
and Rio Arriba counties. Upon assays
will depend what further action they
will take as to investing capital in this
section. The eastern men are pleased
with their visit to Santa Fe and believe
that New Mexico has grand future BE-
fore it as mineral producer.
