One More EuIogy.

Lieutenant A. w. Thomson says, In
The Independent, that when the civil
war was practically over he was sent
lotte, ~ c., under a flag of truce. He
entered the town and was conducted to
General Echols' headquarters in a
large upper room, evidently a school
room.
Our guide pointed out the general,
fine, portly gentleman, seated at a
table. advanced and laid my papers
on the table.
General Echols, presumeT / said.
"These dispatches are from General
Gillian. Shall 1 wait for an answerY
"Please be seated" the general said.
Glancing around, / saw 16 or Is gen.
tlemen, all, with one or two exceptions,
IN military uniform. Colonel Morgan
came up to me, shook hands and said:
'I believe you and l are not entire
strangers"
He had been our prisoner year or
so before. While we chatted a gentle
man in civilian gray suit turned to
address General Echols. The cold stare
of glass eye caught my attention, and
the features were somewhat familiar.
"Ah, Jefferson Davis! Are you here,
pressed to the WALTZ" was my first
thought. His face was far more pleas
ant than our northern papers had pic
tured it.
A dispatch was handed to General
Echols, who read and reread it with an
earnest, anxious lok. Half rising, he
passed the paper to Mr.. Davis, who read
IL slowly and then handed 1t back.
Well" said he, ''we have lost a
generous enemy"
1t was the news of President Lin
coins assassination.

to come awfully."
''Did she, now? That was too bad.

Answers the Sinner.

EDITOR OF The TRUE NoRTHERNER:--
Seeing a piece in your paper signed by
"One of the Sinners, as the writer styled
him or herself, thought / would like to
write few lines for publication.
1t is true the Free Baptist church is
without pastor, but not from any finan-
cial strait it is in, as there is no debt
hanging over its head; but from death,
removals and financial reverses of some
of its members, it is not in as good con-
dition financially as it once was. While
it is true that it is without pastor, it is
also true that it need not have been if
it had not been for two or three of its
members who wished a change and Sc
cured it against the wishes of large
majority of its members.
/ frequently hear it said there are too
many churches in town, but | will VEN
ture the assertion that there are people
enough in the village of Paw Paw and
its immediate vicinity to fill every church
in the village, and have enough left to
carry on the business of Sunday fishing
and hunting and few to 60 on Sunday
EXCURSIONS.
The prescription he makes for the
remedy of the present condition of the
churches might work well, but | doubt
it, judging from the attendance at the
union meetings when five churches say
they unite" in one congregation. By
the way, this class to which the writer
belongs are good at making prescriptions.
They know Just how christians should
live, Just what they ought TO do and Just
what they ought not to do.
During my fifty three years member
ship with this church, | have seen its
ups and downs. 1t has survived them
all except this, and l think it will this,
though this is the hardest down | ever
knew It to have. | hope it will survive
and be the means of doing much good
in the future as it has in the past.

An Old Mans Views.
Ed. NoRTHERNER:-

ED. NoRTHERNER-
While reading your paper, with my
dim eyes, come to a keener realization
of how dear our home paper becomes. as
it finds its way into our family circle
week after week, as the years come and go.
We read its pages, and smiles and tears
unbidden come. How glad we are, that
we can have a good, clean, unobjection-
able home paper! How necessary that
we help to keep it to high standard,
helping it To proclaim the highest type
of morality.
AS | wander about the streets, oft
times leaning YEARLY upon my staff,
am led to mediate upon things seen and
heard. | paused thus in front of our
beautiful school building, now so quiet.
The patter of youthful feet makes no
music for our hearts, but when Septem-
ber is here, how full of busy life will it
become. How essential that all these
lives shall be rightly directed. How
carelessly do we commit the training of
these immortal minds to strangers. 1t
may be we go to some great institution
and secure some one to teach them the
speech of other nations and other times
than ours. Is this the best way to do?
Would it not be better to secure some one
who is tried and true, who perhaps lives
in our midst and who has pride in each
pupils becoming the noblest and best it
is capable of being? 1t is right and com
mendable that our officers have shown
such good judgment in the past and have
secured SO many of the former corps of
teachers. Surely they will know how to
take up the work next September far
better than new ones; and when new
ones must be employed, let them begin
in the class rooms where there is less re-
sponsibility, until they become acquaint-
ed with the needs of the school.
There are many scenes | would like to
speak of, but my hands tremble. And yet
as look upon our churches | feel as
Zone of the Sinners" does, that we need
to concentrate. We need to drop some
of our selfshness and, joining hands with
others, have less of creed distinctions,
less of the spirit that separates and more
of the spirit of the gentle Nazarine, and
so be able to sing in truth:
"Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in christian love"
Long years have taught me that pub
lie sentiment can sweep even a monarch
from his throne, and these sentiments
are in all our minds; and those having
these matters committed to their care
will be amply sustained in carrying them
to successful conditions Long years
have taught that we should put petty
selfishness and childish petulance out of
our conduct. | see many things which
grieve and disappoint me and many
which make me glad and grateful,
as ! walk my daily rounds.
My days are well nigh spent, but love
this people, whom I've lived among 10,
these many years.

The Roar OF Battle.

The roar Of the navy's four point
seven's, their crash, their rush as they
passed, the shrill whine of the shrap-
mel, the barking of the howitzers and
the mechanical, regular rattle Of the
quick firing Maxims, which sounded
like the clicking of many moving ma
chimes on a hot summers day, tore the
air with such hideous noises that ones
skull ached from the concussion, and
one could only be heard by shouting.
But more impressive by far than this
hot chorus of mighty thunder and pet
ty hammerlng was the roar OF the
wind which was driven down into the
valley beneath and which swept up
again In enormous waves of sound. 1t
roared like a great hurricane at sea.
The illusion was so complete that you
expected, by looking down, to see the
Tugela lashing at her banks, tossing
the spray hundreds of feet In air and
battling with her sides of rock. 1t was
like the roar of Niagara In a gale, and
yet when you did look below not a leaf
was stirring, and the Tugela was slip
ping forward, fiat and sluggish and In
peace.-From with Buffers Column"

ners.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

BY local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is one way to cure deafness, and
that is by constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an inflamed condition
of the mucous lining of the eustachian
tube. When this tube is inflamed you
have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result, unless the information
can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an infiamed condition of the mucous
surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

pressiOns upon the faces of his hearers
that they were wondering just when
Mr.. Bryan lost his gift of speech. Mr..
Larrazola is not speaker, measured by

remarks that failed to touch the audi
ence, for there was no applause. 1t

Coal Miners For Capitan.

Forty men and women from Birming-

e. to Captain last week. The men
are miners who have been engaged by
the New Mexico Fuel Company to
work in their coal mines at Captain.
They have ten openings into the coal
deposits In that section and have had
considerable trouble In getting enough
miners to get ont coal in sufficient
amount to supply the demand They
have at times secured miners and paid
their way this far and their expenses
enroute only to have them desert them
In El Paso. But the men are not to be
blamed much for deserting to make their
homes In Ell Paso.
The party that their agent has Sc
cured In Alabama is a nice looking lot
of men and the greater part OF them
have their families with. them, their
wives being good looking, we'll dressed
women, and the party will without
doubt make their permanent home in
Captain, and will make desirable ad-
dition to the population of that burg.

THE RICH STRIKE.
Specimens That Dazzlsd the Eyes Of FL
Paso Business Men.

II
Jones Tallaferro, a merchant o.
White Oaks, is In town today on hIi
way 10 eastern cities. He will 20 Il
Chicago TO visit bis mother whom hi
has not seen for seven years and from
there he will 60 TO New York TO pur
chase goods for his store.
Mr.. Tal!aferro has with him some
specimens OF gold ore from the COmpro-
mise lode which he formerly owned.
The ore is wire gold in maganese and
iron and is about the richest ore ever
taken from a mine in New Mexico. He
has only few small pieces, about a
hand full for child, yet what he has
is worth fifty dollars. One piece which
was broken from larger piece is about
the size OF butter bean and is worth
more than five dollars. There has been
no assay made on the ore as yet, but ii
is estimated that 1t will easily average
100000 to the ton.
The vein is found in solid rock and is
from half an inch to two feet wide,
varying in width throughout its course
that has been uncovered. The rock in
which the rich vein it found also con-
tains gold to about $50 to the ton.
Mr.. Tallaferro says the property was
almost forced upon him, he having taxi
en- it to get debt of $227. He soon sold
it to Crary & Heineman, who sold 1t in
few weeks to Kansas City company.
Mr.. Taliaferro received 81, 500 for the
property and considered himself lucky.
The firm who bought it from him re-
ceived $4,000 for it and the Kansas
City company has already refused $780,
900 for it. This change of value all oc-
Cured within three months.
MIR. Taliaferro says that the men to
whom he sold the property have been
very liberal with him and have given
him probably 5000 worth of samples
+ .0n the mlne. Mr.. Heineman of the
firm that bought it from Mr.. Taliaferro
is now manager of the property for the
company to which he and his partner
sold it.
Mr.. Taliaferro says that all that is
necessary to take out large pieces of
gold from the vein of this property is to
hold sack beneath it and pick out the
chunks with the sharp point of a miners
candle stick.
Mr.. Taliaferro is interested in some
lead and copper properties near White
Oaks and has shipped some ore from
them to El Paso but they are so far
from the railroad that, though the ore
Is. high grade, it will not pay to handle
it until railroad is built throught that
country. He says that he is confident
that one will be built before many
months and then that country will rap
idly come to the front. There can be
no doubt about that, for the whc :.
country around White Oaks is impreg-
mated with valuable ores, almost every
kind in existence being found there In
large high grade deposits.

There is probably no human failing
that casts so many shadows over life as
ingratitude. 1t is sin which stings
sharply, wounds deeply and causes a
sorrow only born of ingratitude. In
every sphere and walk of life the migrate
is met with, always cold, selfish, yea in
human. And no class or profession is
better acquainted with this undesirable
character than the newspaper editor or
reportorial profession.
Editors are said to be cynical. Is it
any wonder? What other profession
meets with such constant and universal
ingratitude? Through the life of what
other man does this black sin so per-
sistently drag its Shiny form? No other
avocatiOn is sc fill of unselishness,
helps so many people, builds so many
fortunes, make so many reputations.|
No other is so given to expressions of
kindness, sympathy and benevoence.
The editor has word of encourage
ment for every work of enterprise and
philanthropy, and words of approval for
every deserving public act. sending sun
shine and happiness into thousands of
lives. That newspaper has never been
printed which has not something in it to
help someone. Scientists, scholars, d.
vines, politicians, tradesmen, statesmen
by the million, owe their fame and pros
perity to the editor. Nor does he help
only those whom we call great. He is
a friend to the friendleSs and a constant
benefactor to all classes. And his kind
ness stops not with the grave. His is the
hand which pays the last tribute of
affection, often to an enemy. How few
manifest any appreciation for what he
has done for them? His benevolence|
is accepted of course. How many repay
him with the basest ingratitude. Is i'll
any wonder that he is full of cynicism
and even of bitterness when he thus
continually encounters the coldness, the
meanness, the emptiness of human ma
ture?
