Felix Martinez Preack0S
Gospel Of l5,yigafiOn

The union party of San Miguel connt
ty held meetings yesterday afternoon
and last night at the court house.
There was fair attendance. The
most notable feature was an address
or Hon. Felix Martinez inS which he
preached the irrigation doctrine pure
and undefiled. The meeting organized
BY the election OF Placido Sandoyal as
chairman. The meeting was called
for the purpose Of considering wbeth.
err or not the law Of the legislature
passed for the purpose of protecting
infringement on the emblems Of the
republican and democratic party af.
fected in any way the existence Of the
union party. The opinion was that
while any emblem the union party
might adopt had no protection, still
there was no MANAGE to the party
from that score.
The sentiment Of the members pres.
ent was that It would bc better to con.
tinue the party organization as a fac
tor In the local political situation, but
with no view to taking separate
stand In territorial or national pol.
itics.
Mr.. Martinez traced the progress of
conditions that have resulted in q
failure OF prosperity among the ma.
tive people Of the county and urged
strongly that the time had come when

iimts almost refused to support him,
the fugitive continued to struggle on
Just as he felt that he must sink to
the ground and lie there for the rest
OF the night, the Whinnying of horse
reached his ears. The sound did not
come from the trail, but from some
point on his left.
Turning in that direction he made
his way painfully through a smai1
coulee whose steep banks flung n
heavy shadow about him. The pas
sage was short and he came ou..
abruptly into a cleared space lying full
in the moonlight.
Before him stood a horse secured BY
a stake-pin and length of rope. Be"
hind the horse was an old. ruinous log
hut-evidently a relic barking back to
earliest pioneer days.
Darrell advanced closer to the horse,
which whinnied again and tramped i'm
patiently. A shock of surprise passed
through him when he came near
enough to see that it was the calico
cayuse" ridden by the man in cordu-
roys.
What was there about the easterner
that kept him constantly in barrels
mind? Was it the subtle working Of
destiny?
On approaching Gryce in the War
Eagle trail Darrell had taken note of
the dull suspicion in the foreman's
mind, and the man in corduroys was
first to occur to the fugitive as foil
Now, standing beside the peculiarly
marked horse, weird sensation
thrilled through barrels nerves.
After a brief pause he passed to the
hut. The door was closed and he halted
and listened.
No sound came from within. The
silence was intense and even the deep
breathing of a sleeper might have been
heard.
Pushing open the door Darrell
stepped quickly across the threshold.
Through an unglaZed opening the
moonlight fell and trailed across the
rotting floor, but everywhere else hov-
cred mysterious and ominous shadows.

"THE PARTING GUEST"
An Instance which illustrates the
AdvisnbiIity of speeding"
Him mt Times.

Never was there more hospit2ble
people than the Burnhams; but the
persons who most willingly admitted
their open-heartedness and the warmth
of their welcome were the shyest of
testing their hospitality. The reason
was, relates Youths Companion, that
one could never tell when one would
escape from it.
Merrifield came out one afternoon to
keep a dinner engagement with the
Burnhams, explaining in advance that
for once he must beg the tramp's priv
ilege to "eac and run" A business
man with whom his firm had close as
sociations was in the city over night,
and it was important that he, Merri-
field, should see him that evening.
But the Burnhams laughed at the idea
Spend the rest of the week with
your old Texan, if you want to-" Mrs.
Burnham said But We don't get you
out to Lakeside very often, and now
we have you we're going to keep you"
Keep him they did, and Merrifield
missed the stranger, and by that
means lost a good deal of money.
Miss Carr dropped in at the Burn
hams one day, shortly after her en-
gagement was announced. She had ap-
pointed to lunch with her fiance, but
gushing Mrs. Burnham would not hear
of an abbreviated call, and so hung
to- the guest that she was too late TO
meet the young man.
Il don't believe | shall ever go to
the Burnhams' again" Miss Carr con-
fided to her nearest friend. They are
responsible for the first quarrel Dick
and | ever had"
So the Burnhams bungle blithely
along, breaking their friends engage
ments and making them miss trains
and lose money and offend other per-
sons, and apparently not even the
fact that people begin to avoid them
can open their eyes to the truth that
hospitality which is forced upon one is
almost always unwelcome.
Even in old Homer's time the obli-
cation to speed the parting guest"
was as clearly perceived as was the
duty to welcome the coming" This
is busy world and sensible folk make
plans for the next week, Or the next
day, or sometimes the next hour. The
tactful hostess helps such plans, in
stead Of hindering. Her guests are not
afraid to come again,

vic diseases have no idea that their
trouble is due to catarrh. The majority
of the people think that catarrh is dis
ease confined to the head alone.
This is not true. Catarrh is liable to
attack any organ of the body; throat,
bronchial tubes. lungs, stomach, kid
neys and especially the pelvic organs.
Many a woman has made this dis
covery afteral long siege of useless treat
ment. She has made the discovery that
her disease is catarrh, and that Peruna
can be relied upon to cure catarrh
wherever located.

He was at once face to face with

sure of killing one of them; he might

rapidly, and when one of tho lions
