 as 1t was getting dark we discovered
 about mile away In fhe midst of a
 vast mesquite forest. what impressed
 ns as being a large hacienda or ranch
 house. The way we raised the dust
 on She intervening stretch of road
 must have alarmed the inmates of that
 structure had they haen at home. but
 on arriving discovered that they
 had gone. IL must have been some
 time before that. they had Ieft tneir
 happy homes. From photographs and
 sketches which had come under my observation, I recognized this bewil- dering ruin as the original Cass
 Grande. A part of the third story was still intact l shall not attempt d
 description of this weird old ruin on the bosom of the broad mesa by the side of the historic Gila. I was so profoundly wrapped in thrilling con temptation of this ancient wonder that l forgot that I was hungry. forgot that I was tired. I was oblivious that it was already night and in the gloam- ing l imagined I witnessed a realistic restoration of the ancient city with all it's sgperstitions gIamor.
 Tom appreciated such wonders about as much as a mud turtle could appreciate the curves in the statue of Venus. the only earthly asset he seem ed to possess. and it was not trans ferable was an appetite that an ali gator would be ashamed of. but when explained the history of the locality to him. he suddenly developed a streak Of superstition and refused to sleep near it. On the contrary l slept un- der the old walls and issued stand ing invitation to all the spooks of an tiQnity to cal and get acquainted. The next morning we proceeded to the river the most direct route. for water was getting shy All day long, after reaching the Gils. which was about ten miles away. we wandered up along Its banks toward Florence ana not an atom of food had We at our disposal. That night we slept in the arrow weeds and arising early proceeded in the direction of Florence. Just here happened the most remarkable detail of the trip. Feeling half unconscious ly for tobacco crumbs as I walked along, just. under my watchiess watch pocket, I felt something large, flat and round through the pocket inning. My heart first jumped up to my collar button and then stood still. Could 1t be; o COULD 1t be that I had dol lar. had. ripped that pocket with vastly more dispatch than neat ness. That dollar looked as large as a stove lid and the goddess on 1t look ed like she was ready to fly Then we went.
 The first place we struck on our arrival in Florence smelled good to us. It was tent restaurant engin- eered by Billy Elliot I held that

 ! It was Sunday, and just across the road an old Scotch minister was 1 preaching to the Indians. Tom looked respectable enough, but just how the old gentleman distinguished me from the other Indians could never understand He did. however. and came over and informed us that he would hold services at Sacaton four miles below there at 4 o'clock. and invited us to be present. attend and even participate. He was a kind y old chap and said he regretted that he couid not carry us in his spring wagon, but he had a wogon load of his own manufacture. We lied hear. tily and told him we would enjoy the walk. also the services. We trudged through with hundreds of lazy bucks. iistless squaws and little brown people taking observations on our appear ance
 When we reached Sacaton we went to Agent Hoover and asked for ac- commodauons. but with that fnsolenee characteristic of pin headed officials in general and Indian agents in par ticular he would not even speak to us.
 Right along there matters were be- ginning to look serious. It was grow ing colder and we had no place to sleep. We would be arrested if we gathered and burned any wood; more over. we were getting hungry again We went over to the little mud church and l want to peddlel the fact to you that that was one time when a preach CT looked good to me. l have never killed but three since. 50 great Is my sense of gratitude.
 Aside from the preacher and his family the congregation was compos- ed of Pimas. They had been taught English, however. and got along nicely in their parts.

 That night we slept behind pii- of cross ties so as to make the little sack stand between us and hunger till we should reach Phoenix.
 We went without our suppers. but We would have full meal at sunrise and stretch out for Florence. Just before we reached the restaurant. Tom excused himself a momeut and step ped in a nearby saloon.

Irishman King of Portugal.

An Irishman was once king of Por-
tugal, or at least he once ruled in the
kings stead over that country. In No
vember, 1640s there was a revolutions
in Portugal, brought about tY thu tyr
annical exactions of Miguel Vasconcel'-
los, the secretary of state. The hated
minister was shot and the v,ce-queen,
Margaret of Savoy, abdicated. The
crown was offered to the duke of Bra.
ganza, who was living at Villavicosia.
Meanwhile, until the duke should ac.
cept the crown the people of Lisbon
elected a popular and influential irish
merchant, named John Darcy, who re-
sided in the city, as their nominal
king. Darcy accepted the Lonor CON
ferred upon him and bore the title OF
king Of Portugal from Dec. to Dec

Who Talks at Dinner.

How with laughter their auditors they
sway;
AS aid to digestion oftentimes I've heard

Drugs can't compare with funny things
they say.
But say, I'll bet penny,
For I'm a poet poor,
Not one word you've heard about
The during dinner bore.
Fate has been unkind to me. also the
boarding house,
Where during dinner speakers congre-
gate
Their egotistic rantings in my spirit
rouse
Aversion grim to all mankind who
prate.
I'm hungry, yet 1 falter.
My craving keen to safe:
For years I've been a-yearning
To swat them with plate.
Over prehistoric jokes how the REALTORS
Though plain the gray-haired humor
of their theft;
While their mouths with food are wad-

Then sputter to the right and to the

If with my trusty guns

With authors of their puns?

GOLD THAT is NOT GOLD
Effective Substitute for Decorative
Yellow Metal.

One more proof that all is not gold
that glitters is found in the fact that
much of the gold lettering seen on
signs and also much of the gliding Of
picture frames has no gold whatever
about it. Among laymen the opinion
prevails that all such decoration re-
quires the actual use of gold leaf, but
the realty is different, and a substi-
tute that defies detection has been
widely used for some time. The ex-
act effect of gold is secured by using
a leaf of either silver or aluminium un-
der yellow paint The metal backing
gives the required luster and he paint
gives the required color. This meth
cd cannot be used in all cases, be-
cause the paint is of peculiar quality
and requires putting on with an even
thickness. For this reason it is gen.
orally applicable only to fiat surfaces.
Parts of gilded picture frame which
are nodded into waving surfaces gen.
orally require genuine gold leaf to
cover them.-Philadelph Record.
