IL all to the woman. She squatted
quietly in the dust at our feet, motion
ing him to join her, and, thus seated,
side by side, they ate their wedding
feast, for they had tasted no cooked
food since leaving the fort, five days
before. They were without money,
the bridegroom having spent his last
dollar to pay for the marriage license,
so they had been obliged to subsist
on what food nature afforded by the
way. which is exceedingly scanty in
that bare, dry, sun-bright region. Hun
ger had driven them to seek white
habitation, but they had been turned
away empty in many places because
the present generation Of Arizonians
have imbibed their fathers implacable
hostility toward the once murderous
Apaches.
When they had finished their abur-
dant meal the groom offered his bene-
factress his buckskin wallet, which
was beautifully beaded, in return for
her generosity, which gave her the
happy idea of raising a little fund to
set the couple up in housekeeping.
'If you have anything to sell we will
buy" she told him. ASK your wife
If she wishes to dispose of her blanket
and beads"
Blanket beads, boots, and even her
little beaten silver ring were imme-
diately placed at our disposal. The
impromptu sale brought 50, all Of
which the bridegroom handed his
bride with smile so fine that, for the
moment, his dark, homely face looked
almost handsome. They went away

Oysters Don't Breed Disease.

The Frankfurter Zeitung of August
/, 1904, contains correspondence from
Paris stating that last year veritable
campaign was waged against oysters
which were said to especially transmit
typhus and various other bacilli. The
Journal Officiel now publishes the re-

both very scarce in that region.

so many wonderful things about Amer

America. His majesty is very black
and very ugly, but the barbaric mag

Midst trill of waking birds l see you

Where. by the path. the netted sun

And brightly jeweled glints the dew

Your bearing full of grace, your gaze
keen-eyed,
The coarse blue shirt you wear, the Wig

Your 1.-the, free movements and your
swinging stride.
AS on you win.
Close to the Mother Earth in toll you'll

Where are these men, from whence came

Upon the Old North State to prey?
And take upon themselves this load,
Contrive to steal a whole railroad.
Who is Nc Bee and who is Finch
Whose conscience did not even finch,
To rob a "mullet" at one clinch
Regardless of its passing stencil.
McBee-a fair, but false deceiver,
Usurped the job as its Receiver,
And Finch, the bee who would Bee King,
Got what he gave--"a virulent sting
They came just like wolves from the fold
To scoop up stock without pennies or gold,
And took Squire Smith all unawares,
and gobbled up each and all his shares.
Then in the course of human events,
These worthless % on to Norfolk went,
And even at the midnight hour;

When through the cold Reliable"
With claims so justifiable,
There came a great reaction

They had prepared q halter,
And sent to Sheriff Biddle
Who with his little fiddle

They had McT3ee arrested

Gree more our State with joy abounds,
On every hand sweet peace is found
With no more McBee's to defame her,
Thus closes the drastic drama.
