TAg DOMAIN OF DESPAIR.
That Awful Great Basin Between the
Rockies and the sierrn-.

Rockies and the sierrn-.
There are various kinds and degrees
Of deserts in this country, but the most
utterly hopeless are found 10 the 10
called Great basin between the Rock
les ard the SieTas. THIS is a vast re-
giou of deserts. with here and there an
area where nature in prankish mood
seems actually TO have made an effort
10 produce spectacular effects Of hor-
for. From the Wasatch mountains to
the Sierra Nevada extends a CHASTITY
stretch OF territory which IL intersect-
cd by n series Of high mountain ranges
running parallel north and south. with
valleys between.
A birdseye view Of the landscape
shows three principal ranges. two Of
which are known as the Amargosa and
Panamint. and between these is Death
valley. so called because IL is the very
abode Of death.
Imagine a narrow strip OF arid plain
shut Ia between two mighty mountain
walls, the peaks stretching up 10000
feet into a burning sky. The surface
Of this plain. which Is lT5 feet below
sea level. Is mere crust Of salt and
alkali. through which a ridden horse
breaks up TO his knees into a horrid
paste than eats both hair and hide.
a gray haze that never lifts makes
everything indistinct and puzzling to
the view. No vDgetation Is TO be seen
save a very scanty sagebrush. with
leaves that are not green. but gray. and
here and there a sort OF cactus that
grows 70 dve or six feet In height with
extended branches. II Is called the
dead man" because in the night each
stalk looks like a corpse by the way
side.
But the supreme horror Of the place
Is the heat. which Is unspeakable
There is breeze. but II is so scorching
hot as TO blister your face. Streams
flow from springs down toward the
valley. but never reach It. because the
heat dries them up on the way.--Satur-
day Evening Post.

Fate of Mrs. surratt's EXecutioner
(Richmond News-Leader)


In the flush days of the reconstruc-
ton period in South Carolina there was
a burly. broad-shouldered, well-dressed
carpet dagger, who held some profitable
local office. Men and women used to
look at him with shuddering repulsion
and hate. for it was whispered that he
was the man who actually performed the
execution of Mrs. Surratt. BY some mar
vel he escaped the vengeance of the
people among whom he moved, hundreds
of whom would have killed him with no
more hesitation than they would have
killed a noXiOus animal. He survived the
great political revolution and the down
fall of his party in 1876. Twelve years
later he was being helped, groaning about
the streets of some of the up-country
towns. miserable, poverty-stricken
crawling wretch, every joint and bone of
his body racked with endless pain so
that even those who hated him most bit
terly were forced to pity him. An awful
subdued rumor went around that he did
not dare to sleep alone, that he was de
MED the wholesome repose usually grant
ed by nature to the poorest men, that
his days of physical anguish were followed
by hours of frightful fear and misery,
that Mrs Surratt was on his mind al
ways. However that may have been, he
was a horrible and a deplorable object,
and wherever he went that grim word
"Retribution, followed him in his
thoughts and on the life of those who
saw him.

MISS BRYAH's STRONG WILL,
Said to Have Overcome Der Fathers Opposition
to Wedding

The New York World says:
1T is because of the calm determination
of Miss Ruth Bryan--a determination all
mistaken by parental argument and plead
ing-that this interesting young woman is
to be married October 3rd to William
Homer Leavitt, a painter of portraits.
When Mr.. and Mrs. William Bryan send
out the invitations to the marriage of
their elder daughter, it will mark the
close Of a struggle in which the strong
Will of the father has been overcome by
the even stronger will of the daughter.
Behind the consent which these invita-
lions will signify to the general public is
a story of supreme effort put forth by
the parents of the young woman to pre-
vent, and, failing in that, at least to post
pone for one year or longer the marriage
ut was through General Joe Wheeler
that Mr.. Bryan commissioned Mr.. Leavitt
to paint his portrait. The statesman and
the artist were soon on friendly terms.
The painting advanced but slowly, for Mr..
Leavitt aspired to make it his best work
All the members of the Bryan family en-
joyed the society of the young visitor,
who had a great fund of anecdotes about
notable people he had met and strange
places he had seen. From the first there
was strong bond of sympathy between
Ruth Bryan and the young painter.
Within few weeks after they met they
were engaged to be married.
"The girl frankly told her parents that
here was a man who loved her devotedly;
that she loved him with equal fervor, and
that presently they were to be married
Would she wat a year?" she was ask
ed. No: she would not. She calmly de-
clared that she would be married the
day she becomes of age, regardless of OBJ
jections.
Mr.. Bryan at last determined to sacri-
flee his interests, to leave his newspaper
in the hands of another temporarily ana
to go abroad with Miss Ruth for six
months. She consented to go, but on the
End day of next October, she declared, she
would be IS years old. of full legal age.
master of her own affairs, and on that
day she would be married to Mr.. Lcavitt.
"Mr Bryan found himself face to face
with the same unflinching determination
he has himself so often shown-and he was
forced to surrender.
Then he went alone from Lincoln to
Newport to see if it were not possible to
at least secure some delay He very
much wished the marriage deferred at
least until spring. Mr.. Bryan called on
Mr.. and Mrs. Leavitt at their home
They could not see any reason for putting
off the wedding when the happiness OF
their son depended so much upon it, Sc

There came a hungry crew,
And all their heads were kinky
And all their gums were blue.
They were highly educated,
Although of Afric's hue,
And strobe into the dining hall
Just where the white trash do
They sat down at the table,
And fondled the menu,
And called for ham and coffee,
And for an oyster stew.
And when they all had feasted,
And their bills had fallen due.
They boldly sought the landlord,
And proudly said, "Me, too!'

The Answer of Christ.

Well l know thy toll and trouble,
Often weary, fainting, worn,
have lived the life of labor, heavy
burdens l have borne.
Never in a princes palace have l slept
on golden bed
Never in hermits cavern have l eaten
unearned bread.
Born within a lowly stable, where the
cattle round Me STOOD
Trained carpenter in Nazareth, l have
toiled and found it good.
They who tread the path of labor follow
where My feet have trod;
They who work without complaining do
the holy will of God.
Where the many toll together, there am
1 among My own;
Where the tired workman sleepeth, there
am with him alone.
l, the peace that passeth knowledge, dwell
amid the daily strife;
I, the bread of Heaven am broken in the
sacrament of life.
Every task, however simple, sets the soul
that does it free;
Every deed of love and mercy, done TO
man, is done to Me.
Thou hast learned the peaceful secret;
thou hast come to me for rest;
With thy burden, in thy labor, thou art,
Felix, doubly blest.
Never more thou modest seek me; I am
with thee everywhere;

A husband wouldn't be of any use to a
woman unless she could brag about how
she taught him to like to go to church.
Those who take the most pride IN doing
a thing by sheer instinct pay the penalty
for it in cold judgment.
A woman can get to love most any man
if he will only be careful to keep telling
her he hopes some day to be worthy to
lay down his life for her.
You can't always tell by woman's cold
exterior that she hasn't got sparkle like
