ES precise trabaJar rara el
porvenir, dejar a nuestros hijos
algo que garantice nuestro paso
por Ia vida; probar que hemos
existido; es necesario que seiia.
lemos de algun modo nuestro
camino por la terra.
Los hombres grandes realizan
obras grandes; las corporaciones,
las instituciones grandes tam
bien deian algo monumental
que subsiste a la muerte de los
individuos y al agotamiento de
la raza y quizas a su absolute
desaparicion.
NOSotrOs no queremos ser ext
gentes, extremados E injustos
con la corporation municipal.
No ls podemos pedir que haga
cosas estupendas: seria in1til
nj buenas nj siquiera medianas;
pero hay cosas muy faciles de
hacer que son insignifc antes, y
en- ciertOs casos, cuando Sc vive
en- TN periodo de agotamiento,
son capaces dearrancar un aplau-
so como 81 10 merecieran por su
importancia.
Cosas as1 son las que podemos
pedir a nuestros ediles que con.
sienten con indolencia tropical
que las GALES sc conviertan en-
barrancos y en- asquerosisimas
cloacas. Hay una Gale, sobre
todas las otras, la que conduce
desde la Plaza de San Jose a la
bajada al Cementerio que sc
encuentra va en- tai estado de
pellgrOsO abandono, muy sufl-
ciente para imponer miedo y es.
pantO al transeunte de meior
templado amino.
El dia menos pensado, ocurri-
ra que al pasar I'm entierro por
aquella calle, como es indispen-
sable, Sc producira ell espantoso
y triste espectaculo de yer ro-
dandO por aquel barranco ell ca
daver y ell coche en- complete,
1rreverente destroZO.
Sc nos dira que nos ponemos
slempre ell 10 peor; pero no Sc
podra decir que no tenemos ra-
zon, nj siquiera que exageramos.
Lo que estamos diciendo puede
suceder ell mejor dia; y despues
va no habra mas remedio que
lamentarlo y componer la peli-
grosa calle.
Los encargados de ese servi-
clio publico, podrian darse una
vuelta por aquellos sitios para
yer 10 que observamos, 81 es que
no estan hartos de conocerlo, y
escuchar de paso, los conceptos
POGO halagadores que Sc ven
torzados a expresar los infortu-
nados transeuntes por aquellos
sitios.
Que palabras tan fuertes Oh
rian.
Y tengan presente los muy
estimables concejales, encarga-
dos de ese servicio, que 81 es
verdad que por aquellos sitios
viven gentes humildes, que me-
receran por este escasisima o
ninguna atencion, tambien es
cierto que 10 mas infuyente y
distinguido de San Juan, tiene
que pasar a la fuerza por aquel
sitio con lamentable frecuencia

On Monday a jury got a whack at one
Of the Hummel boy cases and returned
a verdict of not guilty. The boy was
charged with stealing a saddle belong.
ing to H. A. Davis at the time he broke
jail, but the jury seemed to think that he
was not deserving Of punishment for
that. The fact that the story had~been
quite generally circulated that the father
Of the boy had, some time during the
past year, paid some $40 to reimburse
Tor the loss Of the saddle may have had
some weight with the jurors.
Tuesday morning the third action, in
which c. E. Gregory, by appointment Of
the court, was to prosecute, was called.
But as Bill McCrory and another man,
the principal witness for the state, we're
out Of the country, MI. Gregory thought
it would save expense and time to move
the dismissal of the case, which he did.
The Paul Lehman case went over the
term, and court was adjourned in time
for Judge Winchester to take the morn
ing train home.

Nor long ago Prof. Waldron of
the state agricultural college visi-
ted the Bad Lands and procured
many samples of red cedar for
experimental purposes in the Red
River valley. The college is
doing much to enlighten people
in methods of tree planting. At
the Edgeley station 5000 trees
were set this season under the
supervision of Prof. Waldron,
and every where in the state ef-
forts are being made to have
people plant and cultivate trees.
The effect will be very marked
within a few years.

A BOX OF OLD COINS UN.
EARTHED.

A box Of coins supposed to have been
buried by the Tories during the Revo.
~lutionary period was recently unearthed
by laborers working on one Of the east
ern railroads, but as the coins were
about two centuries old they would
probably have no more value to-day
than many of the remedies compound
ed for stomach, liver, and bowel dis
orders. 1t Is therefore necessary, if you
want to recover your health, to be
careful in the selection OF a medicine

kidney troubles. You will make no mis-.

tiers because it will positively cure these
diseases. Hundreds of people have
voluntarily testified to this fact during
the past fifty years.

LOST IN HOTELS.

Queer Thangs That Absentminded
Guests Forget to Take Away.
Every. hotel in New York has a store
room for articles left behind by guests.
It Is n Of the important departments
Of the establishment and often earns
the gratitude of travellers whose un-
fortunate habit Of forgetting leads
them to look for things that are miss.
Ing. In hotels a book is kept in which
are jotted down descriptions of arti-
cles forgotten. When a hotel does a
large transient business, it is frequent
" with difficulty that lost articles are
arranged for Identification.
The integrity Of servants must be
relied upon to a large extent. The
chambermaid takes immediate posses.
sion Of a room upon the guests de-
parture. She picks up anything that
appears to have been left %unintention-
ally. A note describing the article and
giving the name Of the guest, the room
number and the time of departure is
taken to the clerk. The property Is
turned over to the ~housekeeper and by
her to the Host" department.
Said the clerk Of mi fashionable no.
tel: II remember a singular case of a
man who didn't respond at once to
the hall boys call for an early train.
The result was that when he did get
up he had to run. From the station
we got a call on the telephone:
"Hurry to my room,' he shouted,
and on the table you'll find a very val
liable package. It's my eyes. Send
them to the station
"sure enough, we found two glass
eyes on the dressing table in a plush
case. One was for daily use and the
other for an emergency. Guests often
forget their false teeth, but that was
the only cas I ' knew Of a man
leaving his eyes"
Rings and pins are often found on
the washstand. Valuable pins are
found everywhere, the window cur
tains being a favorite depository.
Watches and revolvers bob out from
under pillows. OF course when the
owners address is known and any
thing valuable is left he is notified
and the article sent to him. II not
called for in a few months, the forgot.
ten article usually becomes the per.
quisite Of employees. New York

IT looks as though the turning
point had been reached. There is
more cheerful talk throughout
the trade and the number of bears
has perceptibly decreased, OF
course there are some left, but
the splendid business accomplish
ed in medium grades and low
woods has impaired stronger un-
dertone to the general market,
says the Commercial Bulletin.
The bargain counters are bare of
offerings and few plums await the
decision of buyers. Prices have
not advanced within a week on
anything, but there have been nu-
merous refusals to sell even at
slight concessions, involving in
some instances large lines, nota-
bly, of territory wool of the 1902
clip, which were wanted by buy
ers of the very best credit. The
folly of selling good conditioned
old wool at prices several cents
below the landed cost of new
wool with which to replace it has
been more and more apparent to
the trade, as it becomes evident
that the price for the new clip
had been fixed and stood little
chance of changing to the advan-
tage of eastern operators. Indeed
all the news received this week
from the shearing sections show
an upward tendency. There is
little competition in Wyoming
and everywhere else and growers
views are hardening.

PRIMITIVE PUMPS.
The Mechanism Used In Ancien
Egypt and In China.

The Mechanism Used In Ancient
Egypt and In China.
A representative piece of mechanism
occurs frequently on the sculptures Of
early Egypt. 1t has the appearance of
and Is generally believed to be that Of
a portable pump. The hydraulic screw
Is also attributed to this people, but
their main reliance seems always to
have been the shadoof, seen every
where along the banks of the Nile, an
invention so simple and go well adapt
ed to their needs that it remains today
substantially the same at it has been
through all the centuries since history
began.
The same may be said regarding the
chain pump in China, an invention the
origin Of which antedates the Christian
era. This simple machine, which seems
never to have been improved upon. is
in such common use that every agricul-
tural laborer is in possession Of one.
Where irrigation Is conducted on a lar
ger scale the chain pump Is made pro-
portionately larger and moved by a
very simple tread wheel, and still lar
ger ones r operated by yoking a buf-
falo or other animal to q suitable driv-
ing machine.
The application of steam to raising
water is Of uncertain origin. Long be.
fore the Christian era certain applica-
tons of fire to vessels containing wa
ter, by which effects were produced

shippers, were practiced by the priests
Of Egypt, Greece and Rome. but their
knowledge Seems never to have been
turned into any channel of secular use
