Ths Rough Ridefs Grave Easily Located
 by Chaplain efowo.
 4 special dispatch to the Globe Dem oerat says: The mystery which has hung over the location of the grave of Captain Bucky o'Neill, of the rough riders, was solved through the wonder iul memory of Chaplain Henry A.. Brown, who served with the rough riders iu the Santiago campaign. The war department, after making half a dozen fruitless attempts to locate the grave of Captain O'Neill, decided to send Chaplain Brown on that mission. Those who went with him tell the story of how he found the body in less than two hours. When the boat reached Santiago Chaplain Brown, brother of Captain O'Neill's and some others took a carriage for San Juan Hill. The chaplain directed the movements of the driver. He ran his eye over the sur rounding country, and, with unerring  judgment, located again the points in the battlefield where each movement of his regiment occurred. At last he turned the carriage into side trail by means of which little clearing was reached. Chaplain Brown got out, cast his eye contemplatively around the ground for few minutes, and said to his comrades: "Dig there and you will find the canteen which we buried with the body of Captain O'Neill."
 Sure enough, hardly had the spades turned up two shovelfuls of the soil be- fore a rusty and weather-beaten can teen came to view. In it were the pa- pers identifying the body of Captain O'Neill, as they had been placed by Chaplain Brown nearly eight months before. Further excavation revealed the body of Captain O'Neill, iu good state of preservation. The body was placed in a eofiu and will be brought to the United States on the transport Crook.

The Apache "divils" were pretty numerous iu those days, and the writer was chosen by Poker" Johnson, who had 8 sub contract from Mir Jenks, to act as scout, lookout, hunter, etc, for the camp. It was while in this camp tn e Ehle family first came into the coun- try and camped in the flat a couple or three hundred yards below our hay camp. Those nasty rocks were full of b)oodthirsty Apaehes, and one's life was not safe a moment at no time. At every opportunity, when one of our party strayed away from camp half a mile, or even less, he wa s sure to be jumped by the reds, and then it was simply game of Hhide-and-seek" amongst the rocks-the white man did the hiding and the Apaehes the seeking. "Ratty" old days those, and few are now lest who passed through them.

Nothing to do but work,
 Nothing to eat but food, Nothing to wear but clothes, To keep one from being nude. Nothing to breathe but air, Quick as a flash 'tis gone, Nowhere to fall but off.
 Nowhere to stand but on, Nothing to sing but songs.
 An we'll Alasl Alack! Nowhere to go but out,
 Nowhere to come but back. Nothing to read but words.
 Nothing to cast but votes. Nothing to hear but sounds. Nothing Co sail but boats. Nothing to comb but hair, Nowhere to sleep but in bed. Nothing to weep but tears. Nothing to bury but dead. Nothing to see but sights. Nothing to quench but thirst. Nothing to have but what we've got, Thus though life we're cursed, Nothing to strike but gait. Everything moves that goes, Nothing at all but common sense Can ever withstand these woes.

There should be no room iu the American system of government for practical socialism; nevertheless, it is not only a factor, but it is becoming very powerful one in the nations politico-economic existence. It is a natural product, too, of class legis- lation by congress, state legislatures and cities. The pendulum is getting ready to swing to the other extreme, but the moral sense of the people should be strong enough to stop the swing before the opposite of corpora tion greed is reached, for the other extreme is equally dangerous Kansas City Times.

In the pending municipal election at Phoenix the Republican supports the party ticket except he candidate for mayor, whose election 1t opposes. Its course is criticized in some qasrtsrs, but the The Oasis believes the Republi- caa very near right. Men who aspire to public office must think an editor is. fool when they expect him to boost them into fat jobs after they have done all they can to damage him. Election time is the opportunity of the newspaper editor. Then he can pay old scores. If newspapers support is worth having at election time it is worth treating right between times.- [Oasis.

No Prisons Needed.

In Iceland there are no prisons, and
the inhabitants are so honest in their
habits that such material defenses to
property as locks bolts and bars are
not required. Yet its history for the
past thousand years records no more
than two thefts.
Of thesa two cases, ono was that of a
native who was detected after stealing
several sheep, but as he had done so to
supply his family. who were suffering
for want of food, when he had broken
his arm, provisions were furnished to
them and work was found for him when
he was able to do 1t, and meanwhile he
was placed under medical care, but the
stigma attached to his crime was con
sidered sufficient punishment.
The other theft was made by a Ger
man, who stole II sheep But rs he Was
in comfortable circumstances and the
robbery was malicious the sentence
passed upon him was that he should at
once sell all his property
