MONrEZUMA'S WELL
One of Arizona's Wonders Within
 Reach of Local People.

One of the most pleasing natural cu- riosities in the territory of Arizona is the pool of water known as Montezu- mas we'll It is situated l5 miles north east of the old, abandoned military post known as Camp Verde. It Is 250 feet in diameter and the clear, pure water is about 60 feet below the surface of the surrounding country. Some years ago certain military officers sounded the pool and found that it had uniform depth of 80 feet of water, except in one place, apparently abott six feet square, where the sounding line went down about 800 feet without touching bottom.
 The well empties into Beaver creek only about 100 yards distant. the water gushing forth from the rocks as though it were under great pressure. The well is undoubtedly supplied from subter- ranean sources, possibly through the hole sounded by the army officers years ago The sides of the well are honey combcd with caves and tunnels, per hitting sightseers to descend t) the waters edge.
 Montezuma's well contains no fish. The flow of water from it is the same throughout the seasons Popular Opin- ion has attributed the origin of the well to volcanic action, but as the rock sur rounding it Is limestone it is more than probable that the action of the water is responsible for it's creation.-Native American,

 This is the man who has been called cold and distant and selfish. Yet at a time when his political fate was in the balance he spent precious hours sowing spiritual seed in a field accidentally pointed out to him. General Harrison's neighbors are all agreed on the coldness of his exterior, but those who knew him best know that beneath the exterior there was great heart, warm for all hu- manity.

A STORY OF HARRISON
Related By Former Townsman Now
 Living in Phoenix.

While the note of praise of the char acter of ex-President Harrison is still ringing throughout the country and the newspapers are still filled with characteristic anecdotes, here is one which has never found it's way into print. It came under the personal mo- tice of Dr. D. M. Purman, of this city. then a resident of Indianapolis. Gen. eral Harrison, as many do not know, was perhaps of all laymen the most profound student of the bible. He was an earnest member of the Presbyterian church and an active worker in one of the Sunday schools of that church. Among the attendants at that school was a young man named Herty, since become famous as a chemist. He was then employed in an Indianapolis drug store at SEQ a month. This was in 1881 during a session of the legislature in which General Harrison was a candi- date for the United States senate. On account of the uncertain complexion of the senate at that tme. the Indiana contest became one of national impor tance. The leading politicians of the country, or their rep esentative, were assembled at Indianapolis and the days and nights were filled with caucuses and every moment of General Harrl- sons time was demanded by his sup pOrters. Inquiries for him were con- stant He left on,s conference only to be dragged into another.
 One Sunday morning after the reli- gious services a member of the church approached young Herty and solicited him to become a member of the church. Herty replied that he could not affiliate with any church for the reason that, though he generally believed the scrip lures he was still perplexed by doubt concerning many things. In that con- dition of mind he could not conscien- tiously join the church. This conversa- tiOn was overheard by General Harri- son.
 On Monday evening the general, hav- ing ascertalned where Herty lived, called at his unpretentious boarding house. The landlady. who recognized him, was surprised and embarra ssed In reply to an inquiry if Mir. Herty was at home. the landlady said he was. She invited the general into the parlor and she would inform Mir. Herty that he had come. The general replied that he would rather meet MT Herty in his room. He was conducted to a small rear room on an upper floor, for 80 a month does not procure luxurious or convenient quarters. When Herty opened his door in answer 10 the land lady's knock. and he saw Harrison, he afterward said that he might have been knocked down with feather.
 Though he had long admired Mr. Har ison at a distance and had met him weekly at the church. he had nev- CT spoken 60 him, and did not imagine the general was aware of his existence.
 Mr. Harrison sat down and proceed ed at once to business He told Mir. Herty that he had overheard his ex- pression of doubt regarding the scrip lures. Said he: Now. I am much older man than you. I have for years been a student of the bible, and per haps ] may throw some light upon those points which you Go not under stand. I hope my visit may not be looked upon as an intrusion" Having Inquired of Herty what matters were doubtful to him, General Harrison pro-

ceeded to invest them with clear and definite meaning, and entered upon an exposition of the scriptures, the most masterful, Herty sad long afterward, that he had ever heard before or since.
 When he had concluded Alr. Harrison
 looked at his watch and said he was surprised to find that il was so late. It was o'clock in the morning. He had talked to Herty for seven hours. Hsrty, speaking of the visit afterward. said

SchIey's
Courage

Any event in the lives of Admiral
Schley or Sampson which deals with
their physical courage in time Of
great danger is of interest just at this
time when the controversy as to the
conduct Of each at the memorable bat
lie of Santiago is raging. Attention
has been called by the dispute to a
magnificent act of Schley's-the rescu-
ing Of the survivors of the Inflated
Greedy expedition in 1884. Though II
years have elapsed since Winfield Scott
Schley ventured into the solitudes Of
the vast arctic circle on a well-nigh
hopeless quest for the devoted band of
explorers, whose fate had aroused the
sympathy Of the world, the story Of
the rescue yet remains n of the most
thrilling in the whole history of arctic
exploration, Three years had passed
without a sound from Greedy or his
men, and everybody knew that, if
alive, they must be in dire distress.
To Commander Schley, as he then
ranked, the charge of the relief squad
ron was ~intrusted, and such was the
confidence reposed in him by his SUI
periors that Senator Chandler, then
secretary Of the navy. declined to give

In many of the western and midland
counties of England the nineteenth
century closed with the most terrible
floods within living memory. Happily
few lives were lost, but hundreds of
folk-mostly poor-were washed out OF
hearth and home. Farmers, small and
great, lost cattle, sheep and poultry,
and immense damage was done to all
kinds of property. One comic incident
was remarked at Alcester, in Worces-
tershire. When the water fell the rec
tor took his walks abroad to see what
loss he had suffered. AS he passed
through an orchard he was greeted
with the piercing %squeals Of a per
picked pig, which had got mixed VI
in the boughs of a damson tree. Prob.
ably it had been borne into the
branches by the rising food. Wher
