In Honor of Don Ramon Corral.

the Republic of Mexico of Don
 Ramon Corral, Sonora's favorite
 son. The entire populace turned
 out 70 masse, and joy and enthus-
 iasm prevailed the whole day and
 far into the night In the morn-
 ing General Luis F. Torres, the
 close friend and co-adjutor of Don
 Ramon, held a reception at his
 elegant mansion, wherein the great corridors surrounding the beautiful patio, filled with tropical plants and
 rare flowers, were thronged with
 gentlemen who had assembled to pay their respects to General
 Torres, and exchange mutual con
 gratulations and feiicitations upon
 the elevation of their idolized fel-
 low citizen to the exalted honor of second citizen of the Republic.
 About ten o'clock in the morn- ing the assemblage took carriages and paraded the streets in pro- cession, preceded by a band of music the carriage of General Torres at the head, and every available carriage in the city was in line. As the procession wended its way through the streets, which were thronged with spectators, the occupants of the carriages and the crowds along the pavements, gave vent to their joy and enthusiasm by the loud explosion of thousands of fire crackers and vociferous and hearty yiras for Don Ramon Cor ral.
 A prominent and appreciated feature of the parade was a truck from the Cerrcet'io de Sonora (So- nora Brewing Company upon which were mounted several bar rels of beer on tap, with half dozen men serving the delicious liquid to the thirsty citizen when ever pause in the movement per mitted; and the cooling beverage was like a new newspaper in country town: It filled long felt want" and went with the null titude.
 At the end of three hours the parade was dismissed at the brew cry of the Sonora Brewing Com pany, where the participants were invited inside and there assembled in the great packing room fully one thousand gentlemen. Bottled beer was served to all, and success to the distinguished citizen of the state and republic, in whose honor the day was observed, was pledged heartily. Several well known gen tlemen were called out and deliv- cred impromptu congratulatory' speeches Among those who were thus called and responded were General Louis E. Torres, Presi- dente Manuel Loaiza, Lie. Ernesto Camou, Lie. Villa, Allen T. Bird of and several others.
 General Torres was particularly in his remarks, sketching the rise to fame from obscurity | made by Don Ramon, and outlin- ing his progressive patriotism which | had inspired him to the develop ment of the magnificent resources | of his native state, and beautifying of her cities. Drawing an opposite reflection the general admonished the young men present that careers as bright as that of Don Ramon were open to them. by practical of his patriotism and orogressiyeness.

The City Drug Store

Wishes thus to announce that
it is candidate for the drug
store patronage of the people of
Leavenworth.
We do not come among you
with a great flourish of trumpets
or the idea that we are the whole
show. But quite the opposite.
And in our modest way make a
bid for business. Perhaps the
drug field is already well cover
ed by our competitor, but we
have such faith in the future
growth of Leavenworth that we
believe there will be plenty of
business for two drug stores.
1t will be our policy to be alb
solutely fair with everyone;
treating all alike. 1t will be just
as safe for you to send your child
as to come yourself. We don t
want to sell you something you
don't want and will never mis-
represent our goods. We want
your continued patronage, and
we will run our business to at
tain this end.

He wasn't Quite Sure

1t was a comparatively short
time ago that the old rules of the
English courts were in full force
and vigor in the conservative
state of South Carolina. Thus
it was distinctly provided that
each attorney and counselor,
while engaged in trial, must
wear "a black gown and coat. }"
But on one occasion James l..
Pettigrue, one of the leaders of
the bar appeared dressed in a
light coat.
"Mr. Pettigrue," said the
Judge, "you have on alight coat.
You cannot speak, sir"
"Oh, your honor" Pettigrue
replied, "may it please the Court
I conform to the law"
"No, Mr.. Pettigrue, you have
on a light coat. The Court can
not hear YOU"
"But your honor" insisted the
lawyer, "you misinterpret. Al
low me to illustrate. The law
says that barrister must wear
"a black gown and coat does it
not?"
eyes," replied the Judge.
"And does your honor hold
that both the gown and coat
must be black?"
"Certainly, Mr.. Pettigrue, GER
tainly, SIR" answered his honor.
"And yet it is also provided
by law" continued Mr.. Petit
grue, "that the sheriff must wear
"a cooked hat and sword is it
not?"
eyes, yes," was the somewhat
impatient answer.
"And does the Court hold"
questioned Pettigrue, "that the
sword must be cooked as well
as the hatP'
"Eh-er-h'm," mused his,
honor, "you- er-may -er, con
tinue your speech, Mr.. Petit

The Champion Liar

The snake liar and the fish liar both bowed in
gray old age,
Came travelling back from their journeys wide
from their word wide pilgrimage;
A tear stood in the snake liars eye, and
the fish liar groaned with pain,
And a death.like look OF infinite grief came
over face of the twain.
"I can not compete with the modern lie," the
sad-eyed snake liar said,
"In its limitless length, and breadth, and
depth and wish that were dead;
For stand rebuked with shame faced look
meath the triumphant gaze Of the eye
OF the newspaper affidavit liar with his cir
culation liel
"For the snake liar, and the fish liar, and the
horse liar own his sway,
And the easy going liars who work by the job,
and the liars who work by the day;
The travelling liars, old inhabtant liar, and liars
of low degree.
And liars who lie for the fun Of the thing, and
liars who lie for fee.
1.-THE horse liar, the peach crop liar, the sea
serpent liar and all.
Vita their wide, untraveled wastes of check,
and their soundless seas Of gall
All bend their knee to the sceptered sway OF
this crowned and peerless one,
And the father OF lies looks tenderly down on
his most accomplished SON.

Some Good Rules.

Gustavus F. Swift, the late
head of the great packing house
of Swift & Company, Chicago,
left an estate worth over seven
million dollars. Perhaps Mr..
Swift did not enjoy all the pleas
ures of life; in fact, he was
known to have missed many that
even money can not buy, and,
perhaps, there are people who
believe that his mode of life was
not ideal, but he left to the young
men of the country-and some
old ones as we'll, "a greater lega-
cy than can be measured by
wealth. He left the example OF
his life and the original maxims
which were his guide in building
up a great business. All of his
maxims have been collected and
are presented herewith;
No man, however rich, has
enough money to waste in put
ting on style.
The richer a man gets the
more careful he should be to
keep his head level.
Business, religion and pleas
ure of the right kind should be
the only things for any man.
A big head and big bank &C
count were never found together
to the credit of any one and new
er will be.
No young man is rich enough
to smoke twenty five cent cigars.
Every time a man loses his
temper he loses his head, and
when he loses his head, he loses
several chances.
Next to knowing your own
business, it is a mighty gooo
thing to know as much about
your neighbor's as possible, es
pecially if he is in the same bus
mess.
The best man ever did shoult
not be his standard for the res
of his life.
The successful men of to-da.
worked mighty hard for wha
they've got. The men of tomor
