For a year and a day they lived to- gether in peace and joy, the while he knew she loved him and was content. But when the last night fell and sleep lay heavy on him she clasped her babe to her breast and rose and went out into the desert. For the time was ac- complished and the river roared in her ears and the longing led her forth.
 And when the sun was risen he woke and saw her not beside him. And he rose with loud sorrow and wailing and Strode out into the desert. All day he followed her. and the second day and the third he sought her over sands that burned and stones that cut him. through all the untraveled ways of moon and sun.
 And at last, when he knew the quest was vain, he hewed out a mountain for his seat in a place where never rain had fallen, where never beast nor bird. had passed. nor man had stood before. And there he sat himself in majesty to watch for his beloved. And there even now he keeps his mighty state under the unwinking sun. And they who journey today across the Painted Desert of Arizona may see the man of mighty stature guarding the country which he conquered and watching for the woman whom he loved.-Harriet Monroe in San Francisco Examiner.

All the invisible high trOdden paths. and. when he darts off in that apparently casual way, he very well knows whither he is going, and what business takes him. When he sits and whistles by the hour on some SWaying pinuaCle of the greenwood. there is some meaning in it all beyond the music. That meaning will ever be hidden from us. If We could know it. as Tennyson said of the flower in the crannied wall" We should know what God and man are"
 If, instead of shooting the bird. scotching the snake. smashing the beetle. and pinching the tiny life out of the butterfly. we were to watch any one of these creatures on summer day. the day would pass like an hour. so packed with exciting experience il would seem. Through what mysterious coverts of the woodland, into what haunted underworld of tunneled banks and hidden ditches and secret passages the snake would show us the way; and we. should have strange hearts if. as we thus watched it through it's myste- rious day. We did not find our dislike Of the clever little creature dying away. and even changing into a deep tender ness toward the small. self-reliant life, so lonely a speck of existence in so vast q world.-Julius Norregard in June Success.

AN OPEN LETTER
 TO THE FARMERS

ought to help each other build. In my judgment you should unite all inter- eSts, and work honestly and willingly to have this reservoir constructed as soon as possible, ana then see that ev- cry piece of land in the valley gets it's water. according tO it's rights and re- quirementS. If you are so united. you can perfect the present distribution of the water, and add 30 per cent to its duty. by the proper regulation of its use. You can also add 90 per cent more to your acreage of successful cultiva- ton by means of the stored water and that which can be pumped with the power created and obtainable. But if you fail to unite, and the reservoir is built. you will have dual system and a sure loss of water to each, in conse- quence. Both of your systems will be sufferers. not only in the loss of water, but in the cost of separation and ser iVce, and the ultimate result will. no doubt, be. that the weaker of these systems will be the greatest sufferer. Unite. and trust to your own honor. the wisdom of the government, and the justice of your courts to settle any diff ferences which now exist, or may come up in the future. Sincerely yours.

 Gentlemen:
 The following statement gives the dnily average per month. and Q month ly average of the water. in miners inches, which was received by the ca nals of Salt River valley for the past eight months. beginning with october. 1902, and ending with May. 1903. earnestly request you to study il care fully in connection. with the acreage you have cultivated and the crops you have raised during this time. Take each canal separately and ascertain it's acreage and its crops, and then take the water as q whole and the entire number of acres it irrigated. In doing so, please consider the fact that the water travelled hundreds of miles through main canals and laterals be- fore it reached the lands. and consider also whether or not you wasted any, or used any wnen your crops did not require it.
 I desire to state in this connection that I fully believe you are in great donger of losing. or delaying for q long time. at least (through the discussion of misunderstanding and suppostions), the construction of a reservoir which you all need. and which you certainly

THE GIANTS CHAIR

Once upon a time. iE the ages of long ago. there was a man of great stature who made himself chief of all the des- ert tribes. From the snow-t topped mountains to the Hidden river he harried the lands and conquered men to his will. SC that there was no nero Of them all who did not fear him. Also he married many wives and these gave him many children. who carried far and wide the power of his name.
 And all the rivers and little springs he knew, both those that perish in the dry season and those that we'll up for ever through the sand. Save always and only the Hidden river. which tears its mighty way through the bowels of the earth. or its dark, deep waters he had never drunk; in its roaring tor rent he had never bathed. And exceed ing wroth was he to wander along it's leagues of purple walls and find 20 pathway to the invisible flood.
 At last. during q season of grea- heat. as he skirted the burning precipice. he came upon a tribe of men more fair than he had ever met before in his wanderings. And he asked their chief, who rose in awe before him. to show him the way to the river. And when the chief refused. saying it was not per mitted to reveal the secrets of the Great Spirit-lO. then he fell upon the tribe with his warriors and beat out their brains and chased them over the precipice until neither man nor woman of them all was left alive.
 And when all was done he thought he heard Singing afar off and went along to meet it. Through a cleft in the rock he passed and down a steep pathway on ,--e side of the precipice. clinging for life to the narrow ledge, against the unfathomable abyss below him. Sud denly, around a corner beyond him. a girl came running lightly with no fear "a girl more beautiful than the fairest of his wives. And he drew back his immense stature before her and said :: Who art thou?"
 ''I am of them who guard the river,' she answered. looking up at him; and what great hero art thou?"
 ''I am thy husband and I have slain thy people to clear thy path to me, and thou shalt love and serve me and lead me to the river. and thou shalt be dearer to me than all my wives"
 She stood straight and strong before him and had no fear. saying: Thou art my lord and husband, and l will love and serve thee for a year and a day; but l will not lead thee to the river, whose sacred guardians thy hand hath slain"
 Thou wilt not?" he cried. advancing threateningly.
 The girl made as though to leap into the abyss, saying: Rather will I die there with my people"
 And savage fear overcame him, so that he bowed his great stature in sup plication. Nay, then, thy god shall keep his secret he said, and thou shalt go hence with me"
 And he lifted her on his shoulder and bore her thence with his warriors. and he made her his wife and forgot all his other wives. And he forgot his wars and his mighty deeds and all his sons and daughters and his people, so that there was much murmuring against her and many rose against her to kill her. But still he guarded her and she had no fear.

 Being out on his bike one day for Q spin, the king came across a peasant who was stretching wires from post to post by the roadside. Never having seen d telephone line of that make be- fore. his majesty paused and asked:
 "Prithee. son of toll, but what sort of a machine do you call this?'

 The ruler of all Persia and boss of the sun and moon mounted his bike and took q little trip up the road to get a start, and then he came down like a runaway car with broken brakes and uttered q whoop as he struck the fence.
 An hour later, when he opened his eyes, he was clawing grass in the next county and the peasant was patiently waiting to see if his neck was broken.

HOW DROWNING FEELS.

"I am collecting statistics" said a clerk in the coroner's office. "on the sensations of drowning persons. From would-be suicides. from shipwrecked sailors, from old books and magazines. have gathered great many facts, all pointing to the conclusion that drown ing is a pleasant sensation.
 Admiral Beaufort, when a boy, came near drowning. He fell overheard from q dock, and, as he couldn't swim, he sank and for five or six minutes was under the water. He describes his sen sations in this way:
 From the moment that all eXertion had ceased a calm feeling of the most perfect tranquility succeeded the pre- vious tumultuous sensations-it might be called apathy, certainly not resig- nation, for drowning no longer ap- peared to be ar evil. I no longer thought of being rescued, nor was I in any bodily pain. On the contrary, my sensations were now of a pleasurable sort. partaking of that dull but con- tented sort of feeling which precedes the sleep produced by fatigue. Though the sensations were thus deadened, not go the mind; its activity seemed to be invigorated in a ratio which defies all description, for thought rose after thought with rapidity of succession that is not only indescribable. but probably inconceivable by any one who nas not himself been in a similar situ- ation
 Another man." continued the cor oner's clerk-"this chap had tried sui eide and failed-told me that after the first moment Of struggle and revolt that begins drowning he heard church bells ringing and was amazed at the sense of comfort and peace that he had.

WATCHING A SPIDER AT WORK

Watch a spider spin his web. and I shall be surprised if you ever kill a spider again. II takes him about an hour, somewhat less. for he is al mar velously quick worker. and there is something almost terrifying about the skill with which he works. There is his body. no larger than matchs head, yet. inclosed within that mere dot of nature. there is an intelligence which is able first to prospect the area for his web, then to plan it out like geometrieian, and then to carry out his plan with workmanlike precision. Meanwhile, too, it must be remem- bered. he is not only doing his think
 ing and his weaving, but also spinning the material for it. all in that mite of

MECHANICAL NOVELTY.

A new form of Noahs ark is one of the latest mechanical toys. The ami mals are attached to arms on a rOtat- ing shaft: a turn of the crank sets the shaft spinning, and the child looks through the doorway to catch a glimpse of the animals, which it can not see properly till the shaft stops. Only one animal can he seen at time at each stoppage. and the chances against the same animal stopping op- posite the door way twice in any given time are very small. Thus the child is always wondering how many animals are in the box.

EYES AND HEADACHES.
A Close Connection That Few People
 Understand

Most medical books for popular read ing mislead. By confning himself to what he calls q "biographic clinic" Dr. George M. Gould has succeeded in his book called Genius and Eye Strain, !" in writing one of the most useful works on popular medicine tht has re- gently appeared.
 Some four centuries of investigation in modern medicine were necessary be- fore the faculty discovered the rela- tion between the imperfect lens of the eye and nervous strain, which regis ters itself in large or small derange- ment of the entire system from pass ing headache down to lifelong derange ment of digestion. It is not surprising that this relation is still little under stood by the most of the community.
 By taking four men-DeQuincy, Car lyle, Huxley and Browning-and us ing them as examples of the neglect or this fact. Dr. Gould has made ore of those convincing personal demonstra- tions which will lead any one who watches their own development or has to do with children to be prompt to understand that where there is inter rup.iOn of a normal function, in ado- It escccce or during work of any kind, mental or manul. one of the first questions which should be asked is whether the eyes do not need eXamina- tion, not by some one who does noth- ing more than fit glasses, but by competent physician who makes this field his speciality.
 There are fretful children, juvenile delinquents. women who are unable to control their tempers and men who find themselves unequal to the task of ply ing their craft. their calling or their profession, whose whole life would be changed and altered if this were once understood and acted upon.

said to Graham: "D-n you, | will get

In the meantime Choate had thrown
rock and struck Miss Hannah Harris on
the arm inflicting severe bruise. He
had chased Mrs. Nancy Armstrong and
Donaldson while he was threatening to
kill Donaldson with the rock and the
piece of oak scantling, Miss Harris
said to him not to hurt Capt. Donaldson
that Donaldson was his friend and was
not trying to do him any harm. At that

Miss Harris, and Donaldson then turn

shop and toward the house, Choate fol-

to kill him. Donaldson said to Choate
that the cattle would turn over his
bucket of liquor and he would lose it,
He then turned and went back and pick

When Graham handed Donaldson the
gun Donaldson said that he did not
want to kill Choate, yet he could have
done so before Choat got on the porch
but did not, and told Cboate to go off
and let him alone. Donaldson did not
kill Choate nor did he attempt to do so
at any time. He had nothing to defend
himself with at all till Graham handed
him the gun, as before stated.
Donaldson was bareheaded and in
shirt sleeves and did not have even so
much as pocket knife Choat was a
large, tall man, about six feet in height t
