Egyptian Women.

TIE Egyptian beasts of burden, the
camel, the OK, the donkey, have the
same patient look as the people. 1T
may not he improper to adj another
beast ct burden--wom IN. There is the
same look of sad pa:iente ~ every
Egyptian woman's eyes as in the mel
ancholy river boiling at its great task;
and in the face OF the camel, tho don
key aud the OK. They all look at you
with the same expression OF patience.
They seem content to live, no matter
what the conditions Of their often
wretched life--and not desirous OF max
ing change or resistance. The long
swing ot the camel, the measured stride
of the OK or buffalo, the half tlot OF the
donkey, are seen severywhere. The
woman's face is covered--at least her
mouth is always--!or no Mohamnedan
woman may expose her mouth to the
vulgar gaze OF passers-by. All have the
same expression in their eyes as the
camel or other animal.

Right along thu line OF the work
done by the humane societies is the

which was concluded at Paris recently

birds useful to agriculture. Belgium
France, Greece, Austria-Hungary,
Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland and
Spain are all parties to the agreement,
besides several smaller prov inces.
Among the birds accounted useful and
therefore to be protected are certain

A REMARKABLE RECORD.

Chamberlaln's Cough Remedy has, a
remarkable record. 1t has been in use
for over thirty years, during which
time many million bottles have been
sold and used. 1t has long been the
standard and main reliance In the
treatment OF Group in thousands Ct
bones, yet during all this time no case
has ever been reported to the manu-
iactnrers in which it tailed to effect a
cure. When given as soon as the
child becomes hoarse or even as soon
as the croupy cough appear. It will
prevent the attack. 1t is I.s..-:r; Z"

No Foed In Ale ohol.

The Libuor Problem.
A number of soldiers of the same
age, of the same type OF constitution,
living under the same circumstances,
eating the same food, breathing the
same atmosphere, we're divided into
two gangs--an alcoholic. gang and 9
nonalcohoilc gang engaged IA
certain work. The alcoholic gang
went far ahead at first. They had
buckets Of beer at their side, and as
they got a little tired they took beer,
and the nonalcohollc gang were in an
hour or two lett nowhere; bat the
energies of the beer drinkers speedily
began to flag, and, do what they
would, before the end Of the day the
gang had left them far
behind.
Thus goes an old-time argument Tor
using alcohol. There is no foo1, no
strength, no good in it.

The Model Church.

Well, wife, I'ye fourd model church
And worshipped there to-day:
It made me think of good old times,
Before my hair was gray.
The Westinghouse was finer built
Than they wore years ago,
But then, I found when went in
1t was not built for show.
The sexton did not sit me down
Away back a: TIE door,
He knew that was old and deaf,
And saw that l was poor.
He must have been Christian man,
He led me gently through
The crowded aisle of that grand church
To find pleasant pew.
I wish you'd heard that singing, wife,
It had the old-time ring;
The preacher SAID, with trumpet voice,
"Ict ell the people sing "
Odd Coronation" Was the tune,
The music upward rolled,
Until I though the angel choir
Struck all their harps of gold.
Ny deafness seemed to melt away,
NJ spirit caught the Are;
I joined my fssble, trembling vo,cs
With that ffiei>cfous choir
Aud sang as in my youthful days,
"Lst angels PROSTATE fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem
And crown him Lord O. all :"
I tell you, wife, it did me good
To sing that hymn once more,
[ felt Iike some wrecked mariner
Who gets gti.1rse OF shore.
[ almost want to lay aside
This weather-beaten form,
And anc.o. in the blessed port
Forever from the storm
Che preacher we'll, just cant tell
ALI that the preacher said,
know it wasn't written
I know 1t wasn't read
Hs hadn't time to read it, for
The lightning Of his eye
Went flashing long from paw to pew,
Nor passed sinner By.
Twas not 1o"'ry sermon, vile,
But simple Gaspe! truth,
It fitted humble men, like me;
It suited hopeiu! youth
To win immortal souls to Christ
The earnest preacher tried;
He talked not OF himself Or creed,
But Jesus, crucifej.
How swift the golden moments flew,
Within ths holy place heaven
How brightly beamed the light of
From every happy face.
Again [ longed for thats sweet time
When friend shalt mesE with friend,
Where congregations ne'er break up,
And Sabbaths have no end"
l hope to meet that minister
That congregation, too,-
In that dear home beyond the stars
That shine from heavens blue;
I doubt not Til remember,
Beyond LIES evening gray,
That happy hour of worship
In the model church, to-day.
Dear wife: the toll Will soon be DER,
The vict'ry soon be won;
The shining land is just ahead,
Our race is almost run.
We're nearing Canaan's happy shore,
Our home 50 bright and fair,
Thank God, we'll never sin again;
"Therell be no sorrow there !"

Russell, $. VII, Rae. :. stat. t.,,

Russell S., the PAGER owned by
r. F. Stubbs, of this city, was
shipped to Pueblo last Monday
night in charge of Driver Holio-
way, where he will participate in
the races at the state fair the week
following. In the free for all trot
and pace for Otero- county horses
on the last day of the fair at
Rocky Ford Russell S. won in
2.2o4, and it is the general
opinion of those who witnessed
the race that he could have beaten
the track record of 2:I5H if he
had been pushed. He won three
straight heats without a break.
Russell S. is "green horse" and
has a great future before him.

The shipment of cantaloupes
from the Arkansas Valley to east
ern markets, thus far this season,
is in the neighborhood OF $50 car
loads. Prices have averaged much
better than in previous seasons,
and the quality is the best since
1897. A despatch from New York
to the Kansas City Packer dated
September 9th, says:
"The quality Of the Rocky Ford
cantaloupes this year is the best
since 1897, and the average price
in New York has kept up exceed
ingly we'll with a continued good
demand. For good stock s. was
obtained up to the fore part of this
week when receipts became heavier
and drop occurred making the
quotation about S39s3.25.
"The Lyon-Coggins combina-
tion have handled nearly all the
cantaloupes which have come east
SO far this season and the Lyon
Bros, Co., OF this city has had
charge OF the distribution in New
York aud vicinity.
"The Lyon-Coggins combina-
ton which consists of Lyon Bros.
& Co., OF this city, and M. o.
Coggins & Co., of Pittsburg, con-
troll 1000 acres OF the 5000 acres
Of melons grown IN the Arkansas
river section or about 90 per cent
OF the entire crop of Rocky Fords.
They have charge OF the entire
output at Fowler which is $50
acres; the entire growth at Mama
| nola which Is 200 acres; about 600
acres OF the 500 acres grown at
Rocky Ford; 800 out Of the 372
acres at Newdale; all at Fairmount
which consists of 400 acres; all at
Holly which is $50 acres; all at
Amity which is 900; $50 out OF the
800 acres at Granada and the en-
tire output of $50 acres at Lamar.
In all the combination is handling
about 700 acres more than 1t did
last year.
| 1.-The greatest precaution was
taken by the growers at the above
stations the past season, with the
result that the flavor of the melon
is the best for many seasons. Mr..
Coggins was on the ground long
before the first car went out and
with his corps OF inspectors is
watching every crate that is loaded
to see that nothing but the very
best fruit goes into the cars"
