A LIVING SAINT.
Teresa of Mexico One of the Worlds Re-
markable Women.

The central figure in this picturesque
and interesting group is one OF the
most remarkable women in the world.
She is nothing more or less than lv-
ing saint who is not only worshiped
by thousands Of Indians and others,
who actually 60 into battle using her
name as war-cry, but she has been
considered important enough to merit
unpleasant attentions from the Mexi-
can Government. 1t Is the Yaqui In
dams of Sonora, Mexico, who worship
this lady, "Santa Teresa" who, in the
picture is seen performing her usual
mission of healing the sick. The wom-
an herself resents all these attentions,
both from the Indians and the Mexi-
can officials, and 5he points out that she
really cannot help it If her people sup
pose she is of divine origin. Never
theless she has been ordered out OF
Mexico. The writer first heard OF,
Santa Teresa from a Mexican lady OF

Sparrow Hunting as O Business.

Sparrow hunting has become 80
profitable in Kent County that men
have now gone into the business that
heretofore was conducted only for
boys. One Of the most persistent
hunters is Charles 81. Sarow, of Walk
er Township, who one day drew in
bounty from the county $3.50, and
two days later $3.50. Another spar
row e1terminator is Fred E. Nc
Bride who the other day drew $3.50
in bounties, and more recently $l4.
But the gamiest sparrow hunter of
all is Ernest Cutler, of this city, who
follows the trail the year round. Last
year the county paid $275 to Cutler in
sparrow bounty. Just so sure as the
sun goes down Cutler appears, just
before d o'clock at the cashiers win
DOWN the clerks Office with his or.
der from The county clerk.
During the legislative session OF
1885 the State authorized q bounty OF
two cents per head upon all birds
known as the common English spar
row." which are considered detri-
ment to the country.
A few years ago several Western
States placed a bounty on hawks and
wolves. Immediately the mountain.
GERS began raising hawks and wolves.
It was a thrifty business, as the county
pay was 81 per head for hawks and
$S per head for wolves. In this State
at present there is bounty of SO per
head on wolves, but the woods are so
devoid of the shy animals that no one
cares to hunt for the bounty.-Grand

Whereto our labor and our bitter sweat9
The seed we SOW we trample in the dark;
The fame we strike; our own tears quench ths
spark;
The white that we would purify we set
Our grimy print upon, and we forget
Thy ways and thoughts are not ours and bark
Toward what we take to be some heavenly mark
And find we serve the devil to abet;
Then do thou blind US that we may not see
The measure of our own futility
Lest, seeing, we should cease to work and die,
Or give us sight that we may know thereby
How through our labor, whatso end it meet,
We reach toward thee who knowest no defeat.
