this was no place for a tenderly nur-
tured woman like the daughter of the
alcalde of San Cristobal.
I sat in the caves mouth one day at
noon. The heat of the plains was most
oppressive. but q breeze from the ocean
stirred the leaves OF the pines. But
for their signing there was no sound to
disturb the deathlike calm till an unfa-
miliar clashing OF branches caused me
to start and reach out for my rifle,
leaning against g rock.
Distracted as I was, J. expected Moth
ing less than a visit from the Spanish
volunteers, who guarded the island;
but, looking up, / say before me the
figure of a girl. She was comely, and
her face shone with intelligence. yet I
knew h a she belonged to the serving
class. 1t was, indeed, Carmela, the de-
voted maid of my fiancee! She smiled
and held out a folded paper. AT first
my beWildered senses could hardly ac-
cept this token OF her existence. My
vision was blurred, the scene before
me swan in a mist; but, murmuring
vaguely my thanks, I toe the letter,
opened it and read:
My father has driven me from his
house. Do you love me? VIII you well
come me? 1 am near. Olivia.
[ turned to the maid. "Nhere-
where is she?" 1 demanded, leaping
from my hammock. The girl shrugged
her shoulders and pointed to the pines
on the brow Of the hill. but vouch-
safed me no other reply.
I scrambled up the rocks, and there,
steadying herself against the trunk of
a pine. was my sweetheart! She look
ed at me timidly, in her eyes a mute
inquiry, as if doubtful Of the reception
I would offer. Not long, however, was
she hesitant. Then, shaking a finger at
me with playful gesture, she said: ooh,
Felipe, you did not think 1 would
come! Now, did you? And now that
I have come, do you not think me over
bold. or are you glad to see me, to have
me bid awhile with you? Now lead
me to your cavern. I am tired-faint.''
While the maid set the cave in order
and my beloved reclined in my ham
hook. l prepared a simple repast, with
cool water from a spring hat gushed
from the hillside near, and soon set ii
before her.

a New Year S Gift
The Story of a Cuban Convict. 50 . 8 BY r. a.. ODER.

AS managing editor Of The Patriot,
Havana soon became too hot to hold
me. Suspected OF corresponding with
the insurgents, I was hauled before the
tyraHt Weyler at the palace. This was
one morning early. AT noon I was
aboard a train for Batabano and at
night on a steamer for the Isle of
Pines, the penal settlement for political
%conVicts.
1t might have been worse, of course,
for the tribunal might have sent me
to Ceuta, on the African coast, where
chains and a cell would surely have
been my portion. Instead, however, I
was confined within the borders Of q
beautiful island which a bountiful
gift OF nature and deprived only of my
friends and my habitual environ
ment.
Soon after my deportation, having
been landed at n Of the two ports
here n finding the wretched town
life not to my taste, 1 wandered away
to the eminence known as the Crystal
hill, from the summit of which I could
look out ove the desolate sea and the
forest intervening between it and the
plantations. These and the town lay
on the plain eastward Of the hill. Some
distance down Its western slope l
found a yaWning mouth of a cave open
IN the direction or the sea, Its farther
end somewhere within the bowels of
the earth. It was large and dry, with
Immense natural pillars supporting: q
roof hung with ~stalactites. while a
stream Of clear water issued from its

CLERK CARRIER EXAMINATIONS
For the Post Office In This City on
May 6, 1908.

The United States civil service
commission announces that on May
6 1903, an examination will be held
for the positions of clerk and carrier
In the post Office service in this city.
This examination offers an excel
lent opportunity for entering the fed
cral service to bright, energetic
young persons who are not afraid of
hard work, and as previous eXamina-
tons have failed to result in a sui1i-
Gent number of elgibles. the com
mission urges all persons who are
qualified, and who may desire to en-
ter the post office service, to apply
for and take this examination. 1t
may be stated that there is a wider
field for advancement upon merit in
the Federal service than in many pri-
vate cmplOymentS. While the salary
in the post office service is usually
about $500 or $500 per annum at the
start. this amount compares favora
Lily with the compensation of be-
aInner in private employment.
This examination will be held in
order to give all persons who desire
to apply an opportunity to be exam
ined for positions in this office. 1t is
il tended hereafter, in case no eligi-
hes result from the clerk-carrier eX-
aminatiOns. to fill vacancies in this
office by selections from any regis
ter of the civil service commission
which may have been established as
the result of first or second grade
, examination, selections being made
of persons who are residents of this
city or this part of the state, and not
more than one clerk-carrier examina-
ton will be held during each year,
unless eligiblcs cannot be secured
from other registers. This notice is
given in order that the persons who
may desira to become eligible for
positions in this office may file their
al plications and enter this exmina-
| ton

is said that when the conference was
conducted between the secretary and
Carlos two of the braves in the party
were armed with Iomahawks, but this
did not seem to intimidate the men
in charge of affairs. Through an in
terpreter they pleaded for a reduc-
ton of the tax. Carlos himself is
capable of speaking English, but he
refuses to do so. They tried to i'm
press Mr.. Hitchcock with the neces
sity felt by each selfrespecting Flat
head for owning a big bunch of these
worthless pluggs than his neighbor
Secretary Hitchcock was obdurate
and would not be moved by their
pleas. Consequently, the Flatheads
will have to pay up and look pleas
ant, if they desire to continue own
ing more than 100 cayuse ponies to

applies to cattle and was imposed for
for the purpose of breaking up the
scheme of some of the willy old mem
hers of the tribe who have great
herds Of cattle on the land that be
longs to other members of the tribe.
The secretary made it plain to the
members of the delegation that ex-
cess holdings must be abandoned,
and that each member should be pro-
tected in his rights to his share of
the tribes lands and property.

is HE DUNHAM, THE MURDERER
Said to Strongly Resemble the Long
Lost california Fugitive, Who
Killed an Entire Family in That
State Six Years Ago.

If suspicious aroused in Montana
are well founded, Joseph c. Williams,
alias John Nelson, the burglar ar
rested at Butte a few days ago for
breaking into hardware store there,
is none other than long lost Cali
fornia murderer The reason given
fol this belief is the strong resem-
hlance between the hardware store
thief and James Durham, who killed
ar entire family in southern Califor-
mia in 1896.
Williams admits having lived in
california. It is believed he has at
i asst one alias and may have others.
''hen he was arrested he wore a
shirt on which We're the initials J. p.
n, and in his pocket was book, on
the hy-leaf of which was the name of
John Nelson. That he is dangerous
criminal there is little doubt.
When he was locked up long
knife was hidden in his trousers leg
and he had a number of revolver
cartridges concealed in his clothing
He also had bunch of skeleton keys
and pair of nippers, such as used
in turning keys in the opposite side
OF doors.
The resemblance of Williams tC
Durham, the California murderer
was brought out by a remembrance
of the description of the murderer
which was sent all over the country
at the time.
! Durham murdered an entire fam
| lily in southern California in 1896
after carefully maturing his plans
| He rode away from the scene OF thu
murder on bicycle and disappeared
and, although the police Throughout
America, and, it is said even in Eu
rope, have been looking for him, i
ic claimed no one has been found t.
match the description as we'll as doe
Williams. The Butte officers will en-
deavor to ascertain whether Williams
is the man wanted in California o
not.

AT COUNCIL WITH TOMAHAWkS
One Dollar a Head for All Stock
Over One Hundred Head For Each
Family Required.

Word has been received from
Washington that the Flathead In
dians who went east to protest
against the new orders of the depart
ment, have failed in their efforts to
impress Mr.. Hitchcock, secretary of
the interior.
During their trip eastward, the
Indians received great deal of at
tantion all along the line, as they
We're the Genuine article, such as one
reads about They had not affected
store clothes and were logged out in
blankets. They made it plain to the
Washington authorities that social
standing among the Flatheads is
les that an Indian owns. They ex-
planned that the tribe numbered
about 1,500 individuals, who owned
something like 100000 acres of
land At these last enumerations, it
appears that these people have had
something like $4,000 ponies. They
insisted that these ponies were neces-
sary in their stock raising business.
The Indian department does not
look at it in that way. They figure
that the average cayuse plug grazes
over as much ground as would be re-
quired by three steers, and the steers
are valued at no less than $40 each,
while cayuse, seldom, if ever,
brings more than couple of dollars
under the most favorable conditions.
The officials of the Indian bureau
decided some time ago to adopt a
permit system of taxation, according
to which each head of family is
required to pay 81 tax per year on
each cayuse owned over 100. This is
what started the Flatheads to Wash
| irgton. There were two factions
when they started out, but it is un.
derstood that they settled their diff
ferences before reaching the capital
in order that they might make their
demands with greater force.
Chief Carlos was at the head of the
braves when they arrived in Wash
ington. and in his stoical way he de
manded a modification OF affairs. l,
