a nefarious prohibition law in Iowa, and
there's your whisky gone. Then they
abolished capital punishment, and there's
your hanging gone. And now the whole
population seems to be drifting toward
Universalism, and there's your hell gone.

HE GLASSES OF EREIeH1.

No one has ever attempted to emu
merate the various kinds of persons
carried in passenger cars on a trans
continental railway such as how
many men, women and children; how
many Whites, Negroes, Indians and
Chinese; how many natives and for
eigners; or how many Democrats and
Republicans.
In the matter of freight, though, the
various items carried are frequently
tabulated, throwing side lights of
the products, industries and wants of
widely separated communities. The
Santa Fe, for example, during the last
fiscal year carried 3,430.000 tons of
agricultural products, 1,115,000 tons of
animal products, 3,435 900 tons of min
eral products, SS5 900 tons of lumber,
1,225,000 tons of manufactured arti-
cles, 100000 tons of merchandise and
425,000 tons of miscellaneous stuff.
The most important items are in order
named: Bituminous coal, wheat, live
stock, lumber stone and sand, mer-
chandise. corn, ores, fruits and vegeta-
bles, cement and brick, flour and cot
ton.
What is dug out of the ground
equals what is raised on top of it. An
imal products are nearly as important
as manufactured articles. The least
important item is tobacco. The ship
ments of household goods exceed those
of liquors. Agricultural implements
are on a par with wagons and car
riages.
When you ship anything on the
Santa Fe it finally gets into this an
nual roundup.

And a saddle horse it had to be, any
way; because the only Hardness team
not up at the McInness camp for the
winter was in Bracken, waiting to
bring Mr.. Hardness home when he re-
turned from Toronto, and all the
neighbors were in similar case-both
for horses and men. So the young
minister saddled the "coltie" while
Nell made him a cup of strong cof-
fee; he swallowed it, cheered her and
was off-just as the clock struck four.

ozark lot" He had dragged himself
home, only to faint on the threshold.
His father was in Toronto for a day or
two, the older boys up at the McIn-
ness camp; Mrs. Hardness had crawled
out of sick bed at Nell's summons,
and there was only the pretty object
of the young minister's alteration to
care for her mother and brother and
to summon the doctor, somehow.
I'll get the DOCTOR" said young
Archer, naturally.
The grateful look which Nell gave
made his heart beat joyously, but it
didn't strengthen the tired horse,
which was presently speeding back to-
ward Bracken, as it did the tired driv-
er. Half way to the village the young
minister was compelled to ask shelter
for his horse and go on without him.
He covered most of the intervening
four miles on the run, and arrived at
Bracken all but exhausted. Yet back
he would go with the doctor. And, on
the whole. it was well that he did.
There was a fighting chance for
Ben's recovery. SO said the doctor,
presently, but Ben didn't think so,
upon recovering consciousness, and he
wanted his father and brothers. The
doctor would telegraph the elder Hark-
ness from the next village, but the Nc
Inness camp lay sixty miles out of the
course he must follow.

NAVAL battle OFF COLON.
Captain Meade of the Philadelphia
Will Protect Trade and Towns.
GOV. CARLOS ALBAN KILLED.

Washington, Jan. 22.-The Panama
Railway company of New York City,
received a cablegram from Colon say
ing that three hundred insurgents and
two government vessels had been sunk
in the naval engagement in Panama
harbor.
The officials of the state and navy
departments are watching the outcome
of the contest with much interest. At
the Colombian legation great regret is
expressed by officials at the death of
General Alban, governor of Panama.
He had proved a very successful officer,
and in the recent observations Incl
dent to the capture and surrender of
Colon by the rebels he had played a
conspicuous part. He was about so
years of age and a man of brilliant
attachments. Formerly he had been
attorney general of Colombia.
Panama.-GeneralC Carlos Alban, the
military commander of this district and
the governor of Panama, was killed
during the fight. His death is deeply
deplored, for General Alban was loved
by his soldiers and enjoyed the esteem
of the community.
It is asserted that the death of the
Colombian leader may have the effect
of bringing to the government side
large numbers of men anxious to
avenge his loss.
Washington.-Dr. Silva, the Colon
bian minister here, has been assured by
the state department that anything in
the nature of bombardment of either
of the isthmus towns, with its accom-
panying danger to American interests
and interruption of transit, would be
prevented by the American naval rep
resentation in that quarter. The lega-
ton officials, therefore, feel sure that
in case the revolutionary fleet is sue
cessful in destroying the government
vessels that the victory will end there.
Captain Mead of the Philadelphia has
the same general instructions from
Secretary Long which governed the
! actions of Captain Perry of the battle
ship Iowa when the liberals captured
Colon, and he will intervene only
when American interests or treaty
rights are threatened.

Lift me down carefully, please"
ing to it hard packed and in good con-
dition, the men at the McInness camp
heard sound of wild shouting. They
turned out of their hunks, out into the
night and the frozen darkness, to find
the young minister dropping over his
horse outside.
Lift me down carefully, please,
men," he said-and there was a new
ring to his voice which stirred their
blood strangely THE horse fell with
me, a while back, and I'm afraid my
right legs broken. l had lot of trou-
BILE getting back to the saddle again"
Then he tainted, and the broken leg
was set and splinted in rough but eff
fective camp fashion before he came
to. A circle of admiring faces sur
rounded his improvised couch when
his eyes opened, and Big Elder, the
camp talker, was performing a sort of
ecstatic war dance in the corner.
Broke his leg and got on again! Rid
with the broken leg hanging! jim
mikins, but he's grit"
So chanted Big Elder, over and over,
until the young minister sobered him
with the announcement he had come
to make. And then Big Elders great,
tender arms around him, young Arch
er was borne to the rude sled which
McInness himself had made ready, and
driven, in fur-encircled luxury, back
to the Hardness farm.
He'll go home with u.s." the Hark-
ness boys had decided, summary,
when somebody limited that his own
lodgings at Bracken were nearer; 1.-The
extra eight miles won't hurt him, see

"He-he rid up here with a broken
leg to tell us bout Ben" finished Bill
Hardness, who had always despised
the young minister. 81 reckon we owe
him something for that"
And they paid him, paid him in full
and with splendid interest, long be-
fore Ben was about again, or before
the new logging camp hero had recov-
cred from the fever and weakness
which followed that awful ride in the
bitter cold and with but a cup of hot
coffee to stay the days hunger and ex-
haustion. For they, with every man
in the whole countryside, gave him
their fullest respect and admiration
