Sizing Up the Situation.

A young benedict dropped into q
Brooklyn cafe the other night in spite
of expostulations from friends who tried
to coax him home by assuring him it
was only necessary to assert himself to
be morally strong and forever after
ward be the boss there. 1t was his first
offense, and after repeated urging from
the friends he declared himself thus:
Its no use, fellers-hic-I can't do it.
She is shert'nly my s'perior, an nuzzer
thing, her mothers there. Eat rdushes
me t absolute zero. Wife's all ri, but
mommer is 1t, positively 1t, and well
lam nit, negatively nit" And they
only did get him out when the proprietor
closed up.-N. Y. Sun.

MORMONS IDEAL SETTLERS
Colonies in Mexico Have the Reputa-
ton of Being Most Desir-
able Citizens. f.

The following information was re-
Gently given to the Chihuahua Enter
prise by President WINS, of that state
who presides over the Mormon colonies
in Mexico.
'"The year just passed has been quite
prosperous for our people in Mexico,
although the crops were not the best
on account of the scarcity of rain last
summer; yet the aggregate shows an
increase of wealth. In Colonia Juarez,
at Neuvas Casas Grandes, the average
income for each head Of a family was
81, 400, or $4,000 for the 100 families.
The other colonies have done quite as
we'll, the total for the 1000 colonises
being about 100000 per year. We
have a very perfect system of obtain
ing statistics among our people, and
every year a complete census is taken
Of our people and what they are doing.
About $500 of them reside in this state
and the rest in Sonora.
cat Colonia Juarez we have COM
menced to build an academy at cost
of $4,000, and this will be finished in
a year The school will be free to all,

Ing sister. Enrol was tall, also, and Of
beautiful slimness. Her lair was the
color Of ripe corn, and her eyes were
blue with the blue old china teacups.
Steve talked TO Marianina, but his eyes
we're full of Enrol. And Marianina saw
and took counsel with herself.
"Marianina,' said Steve one afternoon
several months after his arrival, will
you walk up and down the old path with
me?"
He drew her arm through his. He had
always been very gentle with her. When
they reached the end he stopped and
turned to her.
you must know, Marianina, how re-
spect you, how sincerely admire and
care for you; do you think, dear, YOU
could ever make up your mind to throw
yourself away on worthless thing like
me? I think you love me. Do you not
Marianina? Or have I mistaken the
character Of your kindness?"
Her gaze fell away from his. twas SO
different from what she had always
hoped for, and the bitter part Of it was
he was trying to be kind to her to blind
his own eyes to the true dictation OF his
heart. She felt rebellious and wanted to
tell him all. Instead, she turned from
him and swallowed hard.
Forgive me! Forgive me, Marian
ina!" he cried. Il see was mistaken.
You thought of me as brother only.
Again ask you to forgive me for being
so indicate"
Each word was like the turning Of n
rusty weapon in her breast.
Let us begin to walk again, she said
quickly.
She could not help but hear the note
Of gladpess, or relief, that crept into his
speech. Great, hot, pitiful sobs rose VI
In her throat. Presently she raised her
head and looked at him with her calm
eyes.
do not let us speak of this again.

THREE ZONES IN ONE HOUR
Two Known Regions Where That
Many Temperatures Come Very
Close Together.

Only two places exist on this globe
where one can pass through three
zones Of temperature-the tropical,
subtropical and temperate-within an
hours time. Hawaii is one of these
places and Darjeeling, in northeastern
India, is another. In both these places,
says geographical journal, the trick
is done by climbing up the high noun
tains. In Hawaii the traveller starts
with the warm breath OF the Pacific
tanning him amid the smell of palm
trees. He passes by great clusters of
tropical fruit and as he mounts the
trees change, until he is in the kind
of scenery that may be found in the
southern United States. Still he
climbs, and soon he notices that it is
much cooler and that the character Of
the scene has changed to one that re-
minds him Of the temperate zone, with
fields in which potatoes and other
northern vegetables are growing.
In Darjeeling the change is still
more wonderful. The entrance to the
lakeland on which the little mountain
city standseis through a dark, somber
tropical pass, full of mighty palms and
hung with orchids and other jungle
growth. After awhile the trees change
from palms to the wonderful tree ferns.
These alternate with banana trees, I'M
til, after some more climbing, forests
are reached of magnolias and similar
trees. Through these magnolias the
way leads ever up, and all at once,
over an open pass, there come into
view immense thickets of Himalayan
rhododendrons and the evergreen of
frs and cedars, and beyond stand the
white, grim, snowclad, frozen noun
tain peaks like arctic icebergs on land.
In less than two hours a traveller can
ascend from orchids through jungles to
tea plantations and thence to climate
of northern roses and violets.

nervously at the frilling in her sleeve
They heard soft outbreak Of laugh
ter, and their eyes took the same direc-
ton. Enrol with the teasing gayety OF a
child romped under the trees with her
pet spaniel. A great bar of sunlight cut
through the branches like golden
glaive, and fell across her bright head.
There was an unutterable tenderness
in his eyes as he looked.
isn't she beautiful, Marianina?" he
asked. "She seems to me like being
from another sphere"
Go and talk to her, Steve, or play with
her; must 60 into the house. think
Uncle Lucien wants me-"
She found the old man In his Gus
tomary corner, and threw herself down
beside him, and, folding her arms over
his knees, rested her face on them. Her
pretty, soft curls breaking from re-
straint, tumbled about her shoulders and
over his shrunken old knees. Her lit
tie white hands that came out of her
black sleeves worked convulsively.
Shortly she looked up, and her thought
full eyes were dry and glittering.
Uncle Lucien," she began.
He pressed her head down again,
stroking 1t gently with his withered
hand. -@s..
IT know! l have seen 1t all, all, dear
child" he said, huskily.
The afternoon sunlight pale IRA
dance, came in through the window and
spread across the white bed, bleaching
the whole room with its light. The sum-
mer breeze stirred gently through the
branches outside, setting the leaves in q
gentle clapper. The little room was very
still, save for one sound. The sound was
Marianina's sobbing.

THE EVENING SONG.
What Is Wrong with the Picture 2
OUR PULLING LANGUAGE.
The Verb and the Proposition Are
Difficulties 1nsurmountable to
the Frenchman.

English is said to be one OF the most
difficult languages in the world for q
foreigner to learn. The verbs and prep
ositions are particularly puzzling. A
professor in Columbia School of Mines
tells of the trouble of a Frenchman with
the verb ito break" relates the New
York Times.
II begin to understand your language
BETTER" said my French friend, M. de
Beauvoir, to me, "but your verbs trouble
me still. You mix them Up with prepo-
sitions. $
II saw your friend, Mrs. Berky, just
now" he continues. "She says she in
tends to break down her school earlier
than usual. Am right there?"
Break up her school. she must have
said"
ooh, yes, I remember; break up
school,"
