The subjects OF the mikado are great
readers. They read everything-his-
tory, novels, magazines and newspa-
pers. The aforementioned are innu-
merable, and OF magazines there are
also quite host. Many of these con-
tain miscellaneous articles dealing with
various topics OF current interest. BIZ
ographical sketches, short stories, in
terviews, and many of them are illus
trated, some having truly wonderful
frontispieces. In price they vary from
about penny to ten cents per month.
The commonest price is ten or fifteen
sen, one sen being about equivalent to
a farthing. One OF the most popular
Of the monthlies is the Young Mans

per copy is only six sen. Some idea

#M THE QUICKSANDS. X


he was not "an original mountaineer,'
came to the valley in which the Taylor
farm was situated and asked to boarC
there while he hunted and prospecteG
in the neighboring mountains. He gave
his name as George Herron," and as
he offered $S week for the accommo.
dation and showed a willingness to pay
in advance, Mrs. Taylor and Lena
agreed to take him in.
George Heron was a handsome and
rather a melancholy young man-such
one as must appeal powerfully to the
virgin heart and lofty imagination of
the frontier girl.
He was away a great deal-often for
nights at time, and when he returned
he but seldom brought game, though
he always had strange wild flowers for
Lena and curious specimens of ores,
which he examined with his micro
scope and acids.
Love Is largely a matter of associa-
tion; it is not, therefore, to be wonder
ed at that Lena grew to watch the
mountain trail for the coming of the
young hunter, nor that the light of
gladness left her expressive face
whenever she saw him disappearing in
the rocky heights above the valley.
OF late Mart Estel had taken to visit
ing the valley, but it chanced that he
never came there except when George
Heron was away.
Eli Taylor had ceased going to Can
yon City; indeed, he seemed to have
lost all interest in the farm, in his
family, and in himself.
Lena and her mother tried to cheer
him, and Tom worked harder than ever
to make up for his fathers losses, but
still Eli went about like a man whose
heart was broken.
The reason for this melancholy was
at length made manifest. One day
Mart Estel, accompanied by a stout,
iorid man Of 40 who looked much like
himself, came to the farm and held a
long consultation with Eli Taylor.
81 have kept it all from my children"
said Eli Taylor to Estel and his COM

panion, who was known as Lawyer
Roggs," "but l reckon the best way is
to have them in and make a clean
breast of it."
"Yes; they might as well know it first
as last" said Estel, "and more par
ticularly Lena, for she's got it in her
power to square the account"
"How so" asked Eli.
Didn't tell you how when last you
was down, and didn't you promise to
speak to her about it" asked Estel.
Il wasn't myself then. I've forgot
all about 1t, and l wish l could forget
that / ever came to this settlement"
said the distracted man.
Have your family in and let us talk
1t over" said Lawyer Roggs, as he
drew some papers from his pocket.
Mrs. Taylor, Lena and Tom were
called in, and Mart Estel, without any
preliminaries, went on to tell how for
n year or more ELI Taylor had been
getting deeper and deeper into his
debt
Il loaned money and did all l could
for Mr.. Taylor" said Estel, "and at
last, seeing that he could not pay me,
l took a mortgage on the farm and the
stock. The mortgage is due, and If
Mr.. Taylor or none of the family aln't
able to take 1t up I'll sell the place or
I'll take 1t for what's due me-"
Il don't know anything about law"
said Tom Taylor, "and don't want to
know, but I've tried, and so have
mother and Lena, to work hard and
make living up to this time. Father
had no right to mortgage the farm
ana the stock, for they are more of nv
making than of his, and do not pro.

rights"

MERRlAM'S PLAN,

New Director of tho Census Declares For
Civil Service in That Department..
WASHINGTON, March o. Ex-Gov-
ernor Merriam of Minnesota, the new
director Of the census, was busly en-
gagged at the temporary Offices of the
census going over preliminary matters.
There was host of applicants for
places, but few Of these had personal
interviews. Many applications have
been filed, but it will be impossible to
give them consideration for consider
able period.
Director Merriam has made the an
nouncement that these appointments
must be preceded by an examination.
Referring to the coming census work he
said:
The general policy Of" the approach
Ing census will be to conduct The insti-
tuition on the firm and sound principles
that underlie businass> First, statisti-
ciaus will be selected from among the
Best Mon Engaged in That Work
in the country. This will be done only
after due elaboration and consultation
with such men as Commissioner Of
Labor Carroll D. Wright, Henry Gan
eet and other eminent authorities.
Then the heads of the various bureaus
will be selected after painsta1ing con-
sideration and they will be men of rec
ognized ability. All of the appontees
IN the Office will be selected after rigid
examination as to their fitness along the
lines of work in which they will be en-
gagged. The whole plan is to accom-
plish the work as rapidly and expedi-
tiously as possible and not take on an
immense amount of lines of inquiry
which overburden the task and make
the census drag on for long period. :"

TO A CERTAIN EXTENT,
Military Rule in Cuba to Give Way to
Civil Government.

Military Rule in Cuba to Give Way to
Civil Government.
WASHINGTON, March 13.-The admin
istration IS contemplating change in
some features of the government of
Cuba. It is probable that the military
government will, to certain extent be
reduced by civil government. The head
Of the government must, of course, re-
main military, but the change in con-
temptation is to have civil officers in
place Of military men in the cabinet
and subordinate positions. It is be-
ieved that experts in different lines,
such as finance and revenue, and the
management Of much of the gen
eral business Of the island and of
the different municipalities. will
get along more smoothly than the
army officers. It is said that the
officers, being brought up under
strict military discipline, hold not only
the statutes, but the army rules and
regulations as the guide in all things,
while the civilian officers would hold
the statutes as the supreme guide, and
endeavor to get along under them in
the best manner possible and with more
diplomacy than is possessed by the
army men. It is not known whether
the contemplated change has reached
point further than discussion in the war
department and with the president, but
the advantages have been pointed out,
and the authority OF the government to
establish such civil government under
control of the military government has
been determined.

eral Brooke was notified of the de-
position Of Gomez and was much in
terested to learn the details of. the A.

Of the, assembly 3 action upon tho future
relations between Gomez and the United
States, particularly in the matter of dis
bursing the s., 600, 900 offered by Wash
ington to the Cnban troops as a condi-
ton Of disarmament, but the impression
seems to be among the American au-
thorities that 40 the assembly has never
been officially recognized by the United
States government it's action, so far as
Washington is concerned, will not
amount to more than the resolutions of
any other body Of individuals. The as
sembly is being
Strongly Censured by Cubsns
On all sides and there were many popu-
lar demonstrations in favor of the de-
posed commander-in-chief, the crowds
shouting, "Long live Gomez" Death
to the assembly,"
General Gomez has received numer-
our visitors, all of whom assured him
Of their affection and loyalty and that
the declarations by the assembly could
not represent even the army as the cleo
lions which gave it's members their
present positions are really voidable for
illegality and political jobbery. There
is no doubt that the majority Of the
public support him us against the as
sembly. The general opinion is that
there is no reason why the United
States government should not con-
tinue to
Treat With General Gomez
in the matter of payment Of the troops.
It is said on good authority that the
pay rolls Gomez is preparing to hand
General Brooke are most complete, full
and fair, and when the army learns
he can aid the troops in procuring
1000, 900, whereas it is problematical
whether the assembly can obtain any
thing, there is little doubt as to the
side the army will take in the contro-
versy. General Gomez enjoys the full
confidence of the American military
authorities and although he says he is
glad of his new found liberty, since it
will enable him to return home, it is
not believed he will leave Cuba at pres
ent. He has always insisted that an
active share in distributing the money
would fall to him, and there seems no
good reason why he cannot continue to
act as General Brooke's adviser.
