PAN0PLIED WITH PROOF
Also Hedged About With an Over
 towering Smell.

One day last week Deputy Assessor w. r. Hill visited Glendale and col lected poll tax from the people in that vicinity. One of the contributors was a Mexican employed at Hirst's ranch. Yesterday the Mexican came to the boaId of supervisors office and de- manded his money back on the ground that he was exempt. having been for years the victim of rattlesnake bite.
 He had the proof with him. He took off his shoes and socks before Clerk osborn knew what he was about, The air in the office began to grow rancid He next removed his trousers and be- gan to take off his shirt, so that the clerk could get a better view of the cicatrice. which was in the left leg below the knee. For Heavens sake." cried the clerk. Put your clothes on or we'll all be dead men. The sooner you get 'em on the quicker you'll get your money back If the county won't pay it I will. Of course your exempt. Folks that ought to be buried don't have to pay poll tax. Hurry up La dies are liable to come in here any miuute."
 It was the opinion of MT. Osborn that the Mexican hadn't had a bath since he was snake bitten, and that was in the early sos.

A RAILWAY MAGNATE
Who Finds it Impossible to Quit the
 Business.

Some time ago The Republican print cd story about that we'll known Phoe- nix railway magnate, Justice J. M Burnett. In an evil hour about three years ago a man whose name Justice Burnett does not now remember wanted to incorporate the Randsburg Railway company. That was when Ran6sburg used to be heard of There We're not many enough of the would be incorporation. for the laws of Arizona required that there should be at least two confederates. The prospective finder of the iron path to Randsburg had casually met Justice Burnett, and so he took the liberty to ask him to sign the articles.
 Justice Burnett has never heard from his cO-incorporator since. nor directly from the Randsburg railway, but ever since those articles were published to the world a considerable part of his mail has been made up of letters from manufacturers of railway coaches. freight and flat cars. locomotive people and inventors of patent couplings. Now and then an inquiry would be received regarding the price of stock in the en- terprise. There have been occasional applications for passes and ta,iff sheets and communication from officials of short lines all over the United States offering an exchange of court sies. Now and then he would receive !et- ter from an old eastern acquaintance or boyhoOd friend congratulating him upon his rise in life
 Al ,t. tice begged The Republican to explain to the world his precise relationship to the Randsburg railway. It was done and 1t singuarly happened that for two months from the publication of that explanation h. was not bothered with mail mattsr.
 The epidemic has now broken out in d new form Justice Burnett yester- day received the following letter from the New York Bank Note company. whose artistic letterhead and envelope are sufficient testimonials of the kind of work the company is capable of.

Sold Ills Wife For Fifty Cents,

firing of his wife, Noses Sutclitf,
of Chenango Forks, New York, sold
her to resident of Binghamton for
fifty cents, throwing in two children.
The trade was made with her con-
sent. Recently Sutclif contided to
several friends that he had got rid of
his wife by selling her to a resident
of this city for fifty cents and that
she had preferred that method to the
expense of a divorce slut. He in
vited his friends to his house, where
he was keeping bachelors hall, but
on the evening they had assembled
for good time the purchaser ap-
peared with his purchase, giving
Sutcliff half dollar and helping the
wife and children from the wagon,
saying he was sick of his bargain
and would give that amount to get
rid of it. Despite the protests of SUIT
cliff he drove off, leaving the wife in
the possession of Sutclitf and his
friends.

We have received word of a most remark
able offer which is to be made TO women by
The Deiinedtor, of New York.
Taking the fact that next year begins q
new century, The Deltneator offers to distri-
butte 1900 among 1901 women. The plan
is so cleyerly arranged that a woman living in
"a small town or village, has just as good q
chance TO win one of these 1901 prizes as a
woman living in q city-because the prizes
are given for the number of subscriptions
secured IN town in proportion to the popu-
latlon OF that town, instead of being given
simply to those who send the largest list OF
subscribers-which, OF course are most easily
obtained III big cities. Another clever feature
Of the plan is, that all the cities and towns OF
the United States and Canada have been ar
ranged IN seven classes. The cities of the
greatest population are grouped in Class /,
and as these cities are not very many. the
prizes offered are twenty eight; the high.
est prize being $500, and the lowest 50. 90
The total amount OF prizes given away in this
class is $1,000. Tho remaining smaller towns
and villages fall into SIX other classes, and as
the number OF towns in class Increases, be-
cause OF course. there are more small towns
than large ones, the amount of prizes given
away to a class increases, 80 that in Class I,
there will be $4,000 distributed among col
winners.
Furthermore, to everyone who fails to win
one of The 1901 prizes there will be paid an
extra commission on subscriptions, provided
they equal one out of every TWO hundred in.
habitants of the town from which the con-
testtnt sends them.
This is altogether a very liberal offer, and
one which the famous old Detineator is well
able to make good. From our point of view,
we do not see why such an offer needs to be
made by the Publishers of The Delineator, for
we believe it already has nearly half million
subscribers It's strong hold upon the afec-
tons OF American women has come in the
past generation, from its practical advice

New American Rapid-Fire Gun.

Many radical departures from the
old-style rapid-fre weapon are en-
bodied in the Garland gun, a power
full engine of destruction, with
which the Ordnance Bureau of the
Navy Department is now expert
menting. The inventor is F. NJ. Gar
land, of New Haven, Connecticut.
The gun il based on the counter-re-
coil principle, and so light that two
or three men can carry it, and so
simple that an expert mechanic can
cripple it with his fingers and, con-
versely, can repair it very quickly,
almost as speedily, provided he
knows the gun. The mechanism is
absolutely perfect so far as relation
of parts is concerned, like the works
of watch movement.
1t is claimed for the gun that prov
ing tests have shown it's greater
speed, greater penetrability and
greater ease of manipulation than
other quick firing guns. 1t is said
that a trial showed nearly or quite
300 shots to the minute at the West
Rock proving grounds.
The gun is one-pounder, of steel
barrel, ten feet in length, mounted
on a brass frame, with interrupted
screw breech-block and a spiral
thread positive feed.
The latter features are innova-
tions. The gnn's mechanism can be
arrested in its automatic feature at
the will of the operator. When
automatically operated the shells
are ted by a feed-box so quickly and
the cartridges exploded with such
speed that the shells are tossed out
of the breech faster than the powder
burns.

and the unwary. Upheld by the
praise of false friends, she deemed
herself wise in thrusting from her
so vile thing, yet in the long and
lonely years that followed the voice
of conscience spoke loudly in her
ear. 1t said that she herself was, in
measure, responsible for her hus-
bands downfall That, had she been
stronger, Drawer, her love and faith,
her prayers and purity of living
would have saved him. Alasl She
had not stood the test! And so,
though lacking naught that riches
can buy, Bernice Colby was a child
less mother and wife in name only.
The rummage sale was still in
progress, and the next day Bernice
stood behind her table, smiling and
gracious, though her bright face hid
an aching heart. In turning over
the garments upon her table, she
missed one of the tiny blue shoes,
and with faint smile she took its
mate and thrust it quickly within
the bosom of her dress.
AS the day sped onward, heavy
storm arose, the most severe of the
season. A whirlwind of snowflakes
blinded her eyes as she left the store,
and hid from her view her own car
riage, as it stood among the long line
of waiting coaches.
Turning in the wrong direction,
she stumbled into the arms of man
standing upon the curbstone. Start
ing back she glanced up into his
face, and their eyes met.
"Nedl"
"Bernicel" they both exclaimed in
breath. Let me see you to your
carriage?" said. The man, and. with
out word Beri s:-.,e ? land
within his arm. With the touch of
those light fingers, Ned Colby's heart
throbbed with the love of other days,
and words of tenderness trembled
upon his lips. Placing her within
the carriage, he was about to turn
away, yet her hand still clung to his
arm, as she said earnestly.
"Oh, Ned! are you not coming too?"
May l, Bcrnice?" questioned he,
eagerly.
"Come!" answered his wife, draw
ing him in beside her with both
hands.
"Home, John" cried Ned to the
wondering coachman, and the door
closed upon them.
Tears dimmed the old servants
eyes at the sound of that ringing
voice.
"Thank God! it's the master!" he
muttered; as he gathered up his
lines.
"Bernice, like the prodigal son,
have sinned against heaven, and in
thy sight am no more worthy"
Hush, Ned!" whispered Bernice,
covering his lips with her hand; 81
have done wrong, too. Let us for
get the past and begin our lives
anew"
AS she leaned towards him there
fell from the folds of her dress a tiny
blue shoe. Holding it up, Bernice
whispered softly:
1.-The baby's shoe.'i
Thrusting his hand into his coat
pocket, Ned drew out it's mate, and
crushing them both together in the
little hand that held them, he bent
and kissed his wife tenderly.
"Our baby's shoe!" said he with a
smile.-PhiIadelPhia Item.
