when and where half the Democrats

this county, that used to have every
corral in town filled with voters on cleo

DREAMS OF SPRING.
(Farmington Times.)

Spring, gentle spring usually
brings to the San Juaner fresh dreams
of on-rushing railroads cavorting swift
ly in his direction through the rocky
canons of the wild and woolly. But, as
yet, we have seen no fancy pictures Of
paper railroads; we have heard no wild
and exciting rumors of bands of shout
ing surveyors heading thisward, deter
mined to reach Pennington or bust.
Can it be that we are doomed to dwell
forever in a jumping-off place. or has
some Santa Claus Of a railroad com
pany a design to give us a surprise par
ty and steal upon us like a thief in the
night? The canon of the San Juan is
still open, and the short route across
the continent still invites railroad en-
terprise. Who knows but that, before
another year has rolled around, the
mug of the Pullman porter, as he looks
out Of the real door of his car, may
scare the jack rabbit from his sage
brush lair!

Close Figuring In an Egg Deal.

From the Baltimore Sun.
She was the wife of an official Of st.
Paul street corporation. Her one pet
hobby was economy. Though her hus-
band made an excellent salary, she was
rigid in her rules pertaining to the buying
of the necessaries for the household. She
would haunt bargain counters and market
stalls for hours in order to get the benefit
desired
The corporation official, with much laugh
ter, used to tease his better half about what
he called her ''stinginess." So one day,
feeling hurt at his ridicule, she resolved to
take him to market with her, and demon
strate beyond doubt that she was a most
economical buyer. He consented, stipu
lating that he was not to be asked to carry
the basket.
Arriving at the market, she made several
purchases and then at one stall inquired
the price Of eggs.
"Whatr' she exclaimed; 10 cents
dozen? No, indeed, that is too high"
She dragged her reluctant husband after
her from one stand to another, still inQuir-
ing the price Of eggs. and always receiving
the same answer, until near the upper end
of the market Here she found dealer
who offered to sell her eggs in any quantity
for Is cents. To her husband she said joy
ously:
There. I told you Why. those others
were robbers.
Turning to the salesman, she ordered half
q dozen eggs, gravely handed him the
cents asked in payment, and went home,
prattling away about the worth Of economy
In marketing, and the alleged willingness
Of dealers to gouge the unsuspecting Gus
toner. And to this day she does not know
that her husband and his friends laughed
over 1t at the club.

their English allowance stopped on pretense
that they had been in the French service.
Yet this brought him a second chance,
for being now declared an Irishman, he
managed to get himself locked up with the
Irish on the handler side OF the prison, and
that same night broke out of window VIA
two other fellows got over the prison wall,
and hid In the woods beyond. But on the
second day party of woodrangers at
tackled them with guns and captured them.
and back they went and were condemned
to six years in irons.
This, as it turned out, didn't amount to
much; for, while they were waiting to be
marched off to the galleys, their jailer came
with news that a son was born to the en-
peror, and they were pardoned IN honor OF
it. But instead Of putting them back in
their old quarters he fixed them up for
fortnight in a room by themselves, being
fearful that such bad characters would con-
taminate the other prisoners. This room
was an upstairs one, in a building on the
edge of the ramparts, and after few
nights they broke through the ceiling into
an empty chamber, which had a window
looking on the roof With rope made OF
their bedclothes they lowered themselves
clean over the ramparts onto the edge of
the precipice over the river, and along this
they passed-having no daylight to make
them giddy-and took their way northward

you all they went through. At one place
they had to cross a river. and Billy, being

They steered by the pole star for, you I'M

guessed to be in the northwest quarter.

THE GAME OF CHESS.
Its Supposed Origin and Some of It's
Famous vOtaries.
From the London Eynr


Famous vOtaries.
From the London Express.
There is nothing new under the SUM- is
remark which we are constantly making;
and this is especially true of the means
whereby man seeks to amuse himself
Among the most antiquated of games is
chess, which the Oldest Persian and Arabic
authorities state to be of Indian origin We
find the game specifically referred to in
Sanskrit literature two hundred years be-
fore the birth of Christ
Enthusiasts today might deem the meth
DDS then in vogue somewhat primitive, the
board usually called an EIGHT SQUARE to
distinguish it from the board on which pa
chisi or backgammon was played. In he
earliest known attempt at romance in In
dian literature, the "Harsacarita" there is
punning passage which reads: Under this
monarch only bees quarrel in col
Letting dews dues; the only feet cIt OF
are those in meter; only chess boards teach
the position Of the four members" That
was written in the first half Of the seventh
century.
There is a Persian tradition to the effect
that an Indian sovereign sent Persian
monarch the game of chess between OH
and SO A. D. By way of returning tie
compliment the latter king sent The former
the game Of ward or backgammon.
The game was introduced 10 The fowery
land comparatively recently as the SIXTH
century "a. d.. 1t was probably first
known in Spain in the tenth century for
in the eleventh We already find 1t L popular
amusement
At the beginning Of the twelfth 1t began
to- be known in this country, rs we'll as in
France and Germany; and it unfortunately
has to be recorded that at the close OF the
century it had become a favorite gambling
game all over the continent 81 Europe
Many men who have figured prominently in
the pages Of the worlds history were pas
sionately fond of the game: Perhaps the
most noted example of this was Louis
Kill who, though he hated games of
chance so much that he would not allow
them to be played at his court was never
theless so amazingly keen on chess that he
played even while riding in his carriage.
1t Is interesting to record in this connec-
ton that each man was provided with
pin at its foot which, being stuck into a
padded chess board, resisted the joltngs Of
the royal vehicle. Imagine the Prince of
Wales driving along Piccadilly absorbed in

royal hghness.
