LAWYERS IN THE HEREAFTER
General Idea Seems to Be That The.
Will Not Be Happy.

Administrators of the law, on>
would think, ought to have at least an
equal chance of attaining to that blest
bourn from which no traveller returns,
and yet, If one judges by this epitaph,
lawyers will be very scarce up aloft:
Here lies one, believe it if you can,
Who, tho an attorney, was an honest
man.
The gates of heaven shall open wide
But will be shut against all tbs tribs
beside"
Here, Notwithstanding this exclL'
siveness, is an epitaph on another at.
torney whose name was probably a
temptation to say something smart:
Here lies an honest lawyer.
And that's Strange"
This makes two. On the other hand.
there is still another post-mortem
tribute to a lawyer which suggests '
much less desirable bourn than that
OF the other two. Thus it reads:
Here lies John Shaw,
Attorney at law,
And when he died
The devil cried.
Give us your paw, =.
John Shaw,
Attorney at law"

RIDES IN A
PRIVATE CAR
HARRY HANSEN TAKEN TO HOME
OF MILL SUPERINTENDENT
IN MEXICO IN STATE.
Met at Depot Upon Arrival Of Train
and Goes Three Miles Into Coun-
try-Met Ticket Agent From New
castle in Excursion Party From
the United States.

Mr.. and Mrs. Sayer Hansen this
morning received a long letter from
their son, Harry, who is at Orizaba,
Mexico. written last Tuesday week,
and from which The Republican is per-
mitted to make a few interesting eX-
tracts. Mr.. Hansen writes that he is
spending a few days with Mr.. an dMrs.
Jeifereys, Mr.. Jeffereys being the SUI
pe~rintendent of a large cotton mill EN-
ploying COO men. Mr.. Hansen was
shown through the mill and watched
the process of cloth making from the
raw cotton to the finished product.
The superintendent's mill is three
miles from the railroad station and he
came to meet the Laramie young man
in his private car, a a used exciu-
sively by the superintendent and the
members Of his family. My host has
a lovely house and is one of the incest
men | ever met" Mr.. Hansen writes
Continuing, he said:
The first night We went to Reio
Blanca, another cotton mill about five
miles from here, to a party, and | be-
came acquainted with some very nice
people. | am invited to take tea with
the superintendent of the mill.
Yesterday there was an American
excursion here, consisting of 16S Amer
leans. 1t was the Ticket Agents asso-
citation, numbering members from ev-
cry state in the United States. Among
the first l met was Mr.. e. r. Maris, the
ticket agent at Newcastle, Wyo. He
knows several Laramie people. | also
met Mr.. +. J. Barbee, agent at Tellu-
ride, Colo, who is well acquainted with
Mr.. Chamblin, and sent his regards to
him.
"Orizaba is one of the prettiest
places l have ever seen. 1t is fifty
miles from the coast, 5000 feet above
sea level, eve has any winter, al
though one can see snow the year
round on Mount Orizaba. 1t is an
ideal town. This would be a fine place
for a young man to make his fortune,
if he would open an ice cream parlor
and candy store.
Sunday was Palm Sunday, and we
happened to go past the cathedral
when they came out of the church
carrying an image OF Christ riding on
an ass. All the priests were dressed
in black. Friday will be the beginning
of Easter, when the mills will close,
the people will dress in black and at
midnight the big feast will begin,
when the people set off fireworks and
dress in the finest clothes.
The picture l send home in a few
days is of Mr.. Jeffereys' garden.
Think of April and having coffee,
oranges, bananas and roses in the gar
den. Today l shall take a picture of
a church built by Cortez over a thou,
sand years ago.
THE English people here are very
sociable. | saw a Panama hat last
week in Tehuacan that cost $1,000,
and a fellow from Reigo bought it.
One can get a very fine hat for S. in
