A TALE OF TWO CITIES.
The PeriIs of Living Near the Mex
lean boundary Line.

oSome peculiar conditions prevail at
the twin cities of Nogales, Mexico,
and Nogales. Ariz.," said the Detroiter,
who recently returned from visit to
Mexico. The international boundary
line is formed by a street that divides
the two towns, and the boundary
stakes are set out with very nice
regard for technicalities. There Is a
saloon there which has more than q
local reputation, and the proprietor is
certainly an enterprising individual.
His saloon is located on the street di-
viding the two counties and at point
where the dividing line is not clearly
defined. The patron Of this saloon
buys his drink in America, and, STEP
ping across the hall, he buys his cigar
in Mexico In this way the proprietor
avoids the duty on imported cigars
and can provide his customers with
the best make at lower prices than
most Of his competitors.
"They tell an amusing story about an
American who imbibed too much fight
ing whisky at this saloon. When he
arrived at a certain stage, he allowed
his prejudices to get the better of him,
and, standing near the boundary line
Of his own country, he heaped anathe-
mas and hurled defiances at the people
across the border. A couple of Mexi-
can officers stood across the street al
most within reach of the pugnacious
American, hoping that he would stroll
across into Mexico. He did get over
there after awhile, although the trip
was wholly unprecedented. During
a harangue against Mexican institu-
tons in general and the police in par
ticular he happened to lurch too far
over to starboard and fell into Mexico.
The alert cops promptly grabbed him,
and, though he didn't get a chance to
take in the sights, he paid quite an ex-
tended visit to the country he had so
eloquently maligned." Free

Caught n Tartar.

Like so many of his learned brethren
in the Church of England, the late
Canon Carter was the terror Of COM
positors. His was perhaps, after Dean
Stanley's, the very worst handwriting
of the last century.
About 1880 the then bishop of Lich-
field, DR.. Maclagan, surprised one Of
his secretaries by saying: 81 have
hardly ever received an anonymous
letter, but l got one this morning. 1t Is
very badly written, and 1 can hardly
make it out, but from the signature it
is sure to be abusive. The man has
signed himself A Tartar See if you
can make it out"
The secretary, who knew the hand
writing, rather startled his lordship by
rejoining: Its nothing alarming. It's
only a note from Canon Carter Of
Clewer"-London Tit-Bits.

The G. A. r. Campfire.

This annual event in Mineral Point
met expectations, and results were
entirely satisfactory to the comrades
and their friends. People of the city
contributed with their usual gener-
osity, renewing assurances often Civ
en- in the past that they appreciate
the services of the soldiers in the
dark days of long ago, and approve
their association for the teaching
of patriotic devotion to their country.
Department Commander A. II. De-
Croft, Adjutant General E. B. Gray
and Rev. Thomas Kent made short
addresses, all instructive, interesting
and amusing. Col. E. 0. Kimberly,
the official 6. A. r. singer, rendered
half score of the grand songs of
patriotism that always delight an
American audience, in the splendid
manner that has made him famous
throughout the country and won for
him the distinction of being designat-
ed by special orders "Official Nation
al and Department Grand Army
Singer"
Four hundred people partook of
the banquet, aud yet there was "a
SURPLUS of the rich viands contri-
buted by the good people of the city.
About 80 couples enjoyed dancing
later, at the city hall, and agree that
it was well conducted and rarely
pleasant party.-Tribune.

Indian Boys Home Traininp

The following account of the Omaha
Indian boys home training is given by
Mr.. Francis La Flesche, an Omaha In
dian:
No child is permitted to interrupt an
older person or to pass between two
persons who are speaking, still less to
come between them and the fire. They
are strictly enjoined never to stare at
strangers nor to address any one by
his personal name without giving a
title.
From his earliest years the Omaha
child has been trained in the correct
use of his native tongue. No mistake
was allowed TO pass uncorrected.
NO Indian parent ever whips his
child. When it commits fault, the en-
tire family assemble in solemn con-
claye, and it is summoned and reprov-
ed with such gravity that it never for
gets the lesson"

LONG RANGE BAPTISM.
Christening In Scotland Was Con
Quoted Under Difficulties.

Quoted Under Difficulties.
In wide and sparsely populated high
land districts of Scotland it not infre-
quently happens that parent is oblig-
ed to walk a distance of five or six
miles with an infant for baptism.
1t is related of a minister Of the
north that he agreed to accommodate
a parishioner thus situated by meet
ing him at a stream midway between
the parents house and the manse and
there baptiZing the child at the run
ming water.
1t so happened that by the time the
parties came to opposite sides Of the
bourn heavy rains had swollen 1t into
a rapid torrent, so that neither party
could approach the other.
Unwilling to turn back with the
''bafrn" unbaptiZed, the farmer pro-
posed that the minister should splash
water across. Accordingly the minister
stepped down to the stream and en-
deavored to throw handfuls Of water
on the farmers baby.
Haze We got ony O. that? he cried
at each successive splash.
Dell a spairge," was the reply.
At last a few of the splashes were
communicated to the infants face,
and the ceremony was then concluded
in the usual form.
Before retiring to their respective
homes the farmer produced a bottle Of
whisky, crying across, GAS I Gamma
offer We a glass owre the held O. this,
here's the bottle-keppr' And he threw
it across the stream.
The bottle was caught, it is related,
with precision that betokened on the
part of his reverence, if not considera-
BILE practice, at least considerable dex-
terity.-Stray Stories.

The statistics for the October report

Cotton statistics collected through the
commercial system, however accurately
compiled, fail short of the demand of
both producer and manufacturer-frst,

cotton marketed between September
Of one year and August 81 of the follow

restilt they desire-an undertaking the
