Hetty, who was really terrified at her
mothers anger, began to weep gently.
Mistress Taunston strutted TO the large
cupboard at the other end Of the room
to hang up her bonnet, and Simon,
troubled beyond expression at the sight
Of Hetty's tears, contrived to slip n
crumpled piece of paper into her hand,
whispering quickly: Happen this will

Then, taking up his hat, he strobe to
the door, calling his adleus loudly to
the older woman, who answered in u
mufled voice from the interior of the
cupboard.
once safely in her room, Hetty drew
the wooden bolt across the door and,
sitting down before the piece of glass
that constituted her mirror, removed
her kerchief and with sparkling eyes
looked at her white throat encircled by
the silver chain.

door to make sure she had secured it

Undoing the crumpled piece of paper,
Hetty deciphered the writing with
great difficulty:

Hetty walked to the window ana
lifted her flushed, pleased face to the
calm star lit sky.
"Methought never to have liked that

TO A SLEEPING CHILD
MRS. J. O, DODGE,

How beautiful the slumbers are of childhood's
 sunny hours, When the path of life is scattered OCT with in-
 fsncy's bright flowers; When the coral lips are smiling with dreams of
 merry play, The trifles that a child enjoys unwearied day
 by day. love to look upon that form so placid in her sleep, And fancy angels over her their kind watch
 ever keep. One little hand is shading her cheek so soft
 and fair, The other clasps a baby toy and treasures it
 with care. Oh what would many votary in pleasure's
 giddy throng,
 and song. The phantom forms of gaiety, around their
 pathway thrown, Can ne'er recall with all their wiles the pleas
 ures that are flown. And then, dear child, 'tis sad to think that sor-
 row, sin and pain Will chase the roses from thy cheek to blossom
 neer again To feel that thou the common lot of all below
 must share, That added years will mark thy course with
 signs of deepest care; That wealth may tempt-ambition lead thy
 footsteps far to roam, From one beloved and sacred spot-the paradise
 of home. Sleep on, sweet babe; thine hour of rest would
 not idly break, For thou beneath my boding song would soon,
 too soon, awake. Thou know'st not yet the love SO deep that
 guards thine infant head. And smooth the roughness of the path, that
 thou may'st safely tread, That prints affectiOns fervent kiss on thy young
 cheek so warm, And shields thee from the summers heat and
 from the winters storm; That prays all blessings to descend upon thee from above; Sleep on, sweet babe, and neer forget a fondest mothers love.

 Of the ability of MT. Krinbill as a pianist only the highest words of praise can be said, as indeed he is an artist.
 On the afternoon of Monday, the 22d, another program, somewhat similar, was rendered by MT. Krin- bill and Miss Marguerite, to which a large gathering of her younger friends had been invited.

It is more than likely that rail- road will be built from Wingate station to Fort Wingate in the near future. While Gen. Chaffe was at the fort the other day, on a tour of inspection, he said that railway would be one of the things to be built soon. This begins to look as though there was little chance of Fort Wingate being abandoned, at least not very soon.

The damage suit of Mrs. Lacy Greer of Concho, Ariz., against the Santa Fe railroad has been settled out of court by the awarding of $3, 800 to Mrs. Greer by the rail- road company. Lacy Greer of Con- cho was killed at Holbrook last year by gate in the Santa Fe stock yards which fell on him while he was endeavoring to shut it. At the time he met his death he was loading stock for shipment. The widow brought suit against the company on the ground that the company was responsible in not keeping it's gates in proper and safe condition. Attorneys for the claim. ant and the railroad met at Hol- brook last week when a settlement was reached.

STORM A FREE MAN
A Verdict of AcquittaI Found
 Last Friday

Prescott, May 19.-Former Coun- ty Treasurer James P. Storm, in- dicted for the embezzlement of the funds of the county to the amount of more than $13,OOO, is again a free man. The jury today, after having been out twenty four hours, returned a verdict of not guilty. Storm was discharged. The jury stood at first, five for conviction and seven for acquittal. A little later there was change, there be- ing eight for acquittal and four for conviction.
 On ballot at noon today there were eleven for acquittal. The next ballot resulted in an agreement.
 This is the second trial of the case, in the former one the jury having disagreed. This case had it's beginning on the evening of No- vember 8 last, when the defendant claimed that as he was getting ready to close the treasurer's office he was set upon by two strangers, bound with wire and forced into the vault. After having taken all the cash in the vault the strangers left. The defendant was found when his daughter, who was employed in the office, opened it the following morning.
 At the first trial the jury disa- greed. The trial just closed resulted in no new disclosures of an essen- tial character, and it had been the general belief that the jury would either acquit or fail to agree.

 The event was a musicale given in honor of the eleventh birthday of their daughter, Margarette, and the above bit of verse is taken from the back of the dainty programs furnished, which will be long kept by many of the guests as a remem- brance of that notable evening and the rare musical treat they enjoyed. Guests to the number of over one hundred gathered at "The Pines" shortly after 8 o'clock. They were ushered into the spacious double parlor, where ample seating capac- ity had been arranged, so that those in each room were facing the broad, connecting doorway, in which the piano had been placed.

New Road Will Tap Rich Mineral Country

New Road Will Tap Rich Mineral Country
 The building of the branch of the Santa Fe, Phoenix & Pacific rail way (Santa Fe system) from Wick enburg westward to Parker, on the Colorado river, a distance of no miles, is progressing rapidly, says the Mining News. The tracks are now laid thirty miles out to a point near Harrisburg, in Yuma county. The road taps the southwestern DOT tion of Yavapai county and the western portion of Maricopa, the route following the wash between Harcuvar and Harqua Hala ranges. For the westerly seventy-five miles the road penetrates the heart of Yuma county, passing six miles to the north of the old Harrisburg camp, twenty two miles north of Quartzsite and twenty-five miles south of the Rogers district. which is on the south side of the Bill Will
 jams Fork range. Cunningham pass, through the Harcuvar range, is reached forty miles west of the junction of the A. & c. and s. F. P. & P. railway tracks. The Planet mine is ten miles off the railroad, and Parker, the Colorado river ter minal, is about fifteen miles dis tant from the Bill Williams Fork section, where numerous copper properties have been under devel- opment for some time. The entire region traversed by this railroad is richly mineralized. High grade copper-gold ores were shipped in the early '7Os, the ore being packed to the Colorado river and freighted to the coast, thence shipped to Swansea, Wales.

APACHE COUNTY
 WANTS RELIEF

Apache county farmers, still stag gering under a heavy blow. have appointed committee to ask fed eral assistance in the rebuilding of the St. Johns reservoir, which went out on the afternoon of May 2, says the Prescott Herald.
 District Attorney Geo. H. Crosby, Jr., who has been in Prescott sev- eral days from St. Johns on legal business, outlined the plan of the committee, as we'll as to add inter. esting details to what has already been told about the destruction of the reservoir.
 Reamer Ling, Ben Schuster, J. B. Patterson, Alfred Ruiz and Mir. Crosby are the committee that will take charge of the efforts to get government aid. As soon as their plans are shaped the matter will be put before Arizona officials and then taken to Washington, D. c.
 Apache county wants the govern ment to rebuild cement dam at an expense of about $1OO,OOO. This they are willing to pay for through taxes on their property, as we'll as by the sale of government lands that will be brought under cultiva- tion.
 It is estimated that a dam of this kind should bring 25,0OO acres in the Little Colorado river valley un- der cultivation. It is possible that a relief bill will be introduced in congress, as means of getting the money necessary.
 Attorney Crosby says that the total loss resulting from the de- struction of the St. Johns dam is no less than $15O,OOO. Of this amount, $25,OOO was lost at the dam itself, $25,OOO in crops and $1OO,OOO in farm improvements and lands rendered unfit for tilling.
 The destroyed Meadows dam was built for $7 ,OOO, and irrigated about 500 acres. It will not be rebuilt. The Woodruff dam went out and caused loss of $20,OOO. It went out last August and had just been rebuilt. It will be built again.
 Attorney Crosby states that since 1879 no less than fifteen dams have been washed out at Woodruff, cost ing between $S,OOO and $15, 900. A loss to the farmers in the past twenty-five years would be over $2OO,OO0. The dam that went out last August has stood since 1890. It went out this time because of the Udal dam giving away above it.
 Crosby says that twenty-one adobe houses were destroyed in and around St. Johns. Eleven of them in the lowlands had been vacated in time, but part of the other ten collapsed with the household goods still inside of them. In one place near St. Johns the flood wae a mile and half wide and forty-five feet deep.
 It develops now that there was no loss of life. Juan Morena succeeded in swimming across, and was not drowned, as those who saw him en- ter the stream, reported.

ARIZONA SHEEP
The Arrival of Six Carloads at
 Kansas City

NostSoS SsSy
 The following from the Kansas City Journal advertises to the world that the sheep business in this ter ritory is prosperous this year:
 After trip covering about three weeks, Colin Campbell, of Mayer, Ariz, reached the yards yesterday with six carloads of grass wethers. MT. Campbell left that place for this market April 3, but got caught between two floods, the latter one in Colorado, near Trinidad. He was compelled to unload five times while on the way, and still he held his sheep in the cars at one time over forty hours without food or water.
 For over twenty years MT. Camp bell has been engaged in the sheep business in that territory and he has been on this market many times before with stock. He is located near the center of the territory, and in one of the good grazing districts.
 "The range men are bound to make some money this year," said MT. Campbell. land they certainly deserve it, as they have been hav- ing hard luck in the southwest coun- try for several years. This change is due to the fact that we have been having plenty of rain all over the country. In making this trip to Kansas City noticed that in all the years that I travelled over that long stretch of country ] never saw it when it looked as green and beau tiful as it does now. In Arizona the ground has been soaked half dozen times since the first of the present year as.it never was before. This not only insures feed this year but prepares the ground for grass next year.
 "The sheep men of that country are making good money in two ways, one on wool and the other in the fat that the sheep will put on which will make them sell at better prices. I sold all my wool clip this spring at 20 cents pound. which is the highest price that I ever received for my wool. And the lamb crop was good one, and we are going to bring to market the fattest sheep we ever marketed. This year the bulk of the mutton sheep of Arizona will come east, owing to the heavy rains that fell all over California this spring. These rains enabled them to fatten their own st ock, and they VIII neeQ ieWer OI our SQeep.
 You have no enemies? Then you have never dared to stand up for the right against the wrong; you have never protected the weak against the bully; you have never dared to defend your own rights against oppression. Had you done any of these things you would have enemies. Even if you had done none of these, but simply achieved a little more success in your busi- ness than did your neighbor, you would have an enemy, for failure always hates success.
