FROM DOCTOR RUSSELL.
ln 5ieted Expert Tells Why Ne Was Not
 Here at Last Session of Court.

The following letter from Doctor A $. Russell, dated October 10th, two months ago, came to hand at TIE OASIS office last Saturday, having been delayed somewhere in transmission
 DEAR Cor. BfRD.--
 Your paper just 10 hand. l see by it's columns something about an indict- ment against me. Sometime ago heard runors of such thing and wrote Mr. Chas. Fowler to inquire into the truth of same, but have never heard from him, and promised to be on hand to answer for myself at the next session of court, which see by your paper was October 2nd, '05
 You know probably better than any one the difficulty of reaching this place, and how much harder it is to get out after getting iii unless you can form a party or have your own animalsl. To make things worse the Yaquis have giv- en us a great deal Of trouble and anxiety by cutting us out from our usual route, except you have a large escort 50 that one dare not travel alone
 IL is now nearly four weeks since mail transit has been opened to us here. So you can appreciate one side of the reason did not get out. The other is some bad cases on hand, also 1 am tenn porariIy filling the office Of book~keeper as well till they could bring one in, and could not leave the company in the lurch
 Mr. Scobev and wife and Mr. and Mrs Claggett have started out but as am still confined as b00k-keeper-a my other duties as doctor besides being too late for court, l feel that at present cannot come till little later
 As you have already mentioned the bill Of indictment in your paper 1t must be true. 50 you will kindly mention the fact of my absence is due not to fear of my would-be detractors or the snakes in the grass that try to strike d man i'll the back-as they dared not do when l was present and among them as they had ample time but as now l am trying to earn living, and am not present, they have taken this ad- vantage.
 Personally don't feel as have com mitted any erime-as circumstances and evidence will be shown that will prove 1t.
 Trusting you will see the justness of the above and let De known the reason of my detention. Yours very truly,

ture so unfortunate? And yet"
thought the traveller, suppose light
this match and smoke my pipe, and
shake out the dottle here in the grass
the grass might catch on fire, for It
is dry, like tinder, and while snatch
out the flames in front they might
evade and run behind me and seize
upon yon bush of poison oak before I
could reach 1t, that would have blazed
up; over the bush see pine tree
hung with moss; that, too, would fly
in fire upon the instant to it's topmost
bough, and the flame of that long
torch-how would the trade wind take
and brandish that through the inflam-
mable forest! 1 hear this dell roar in
a moment with the oint voice of wind
anu fire; see myself gallop for my
soul, and the flying conflagration chase
and outf1ank me through the hills. 1
see this pleasotn forest burn for days,
and the cattle roasted and the springs
dried up, and the farmer ruined, and
his children cast upon the world. What
a world hangs upon this moment!"
With that he struck the match and
it missed fire.
"Thank Cod" said the traveller, and
put his pipe in his pocket.

Remedy for Ivy Poisoning.

A writer in the New York Tribune
of recent date had the following which
will be of interest to our readers: In
your issue of today notice request
for remedy for ivy poisoning. am
very sensitive to ivy poisoning myself,
but can cure it SO promptly that care
very little about it. 1t is simply fresh
catnip bruised and rubbed on the erup-
ton. In very bad cases strong con,
coction applied hot for at least 20 min
utes several times daily. This is so
simple that many people refuse to be-
lieve it, but I have never known it to
fail when properly used. In tight cases

More Sham Culture,

1t was such a stormy day that there
were few people in the library. The
librarian therefore did not find the girl
who always came in with a grist of
questions so tiresome as she usually
was. When she had asked about By
ron's birthplace and Whittier's fam
lily and kipling's age, and the best
place to buy an atlas and the date of
Jane Austen's death, and how to find
out what the women in Norway wear
on holidays, it was evident that there
was still something on her mind.
do you know German?" she whis-
pered, getting as close as possible to
the ear of her bureau of information.
"a little," said the librarian, eau.
tious from long experience.
"Do you know how to spell 'owf'-
owfwe' began the girl, and then
stopped.
II think you must mean 'aufwieder.
sehen,'" the librarian said, pleasantly.
and she spelled it slowly while the gir.
copied it on a slip of paper.
ooh, thank you," she said, as she
carefully bestowed the paper in her
bag. "You see, have particular
friend-Im really engaged to him
and he's in Germany; and 1 thought if
he realized that I was making an effort
to keep right along with him in the
language he'd be so gratified! Good
bye!"

The EIirt,

No man admires Il flirt; no man
cares for a girl or woman who is will
ing to trade pride for flattery. The
girl who flirts thinks she is very wise
and that she is making a great hit
with the fellow with whom she tlirts.
She would have very different idea
of the matter if she could know his
real opinion-if she could hear his ac-
count of the incident as he tells it to
the "other fellers" There is no such
thing as Harmless" Irritation No
person may put his finger in the fire

can indulge in a filtration without be-
ing considered Cheap" and shallow"

from its poetic beauty Should be of in
terest to all who cherish the memory
of former home in Ireland:
Let others laud their milder skies,
And mansions great as skill could

Their chatting steeds and liveried

And all that nurtures pride of man;
| envy not their tinsel pomp,
Their marble hall and lofty dome
Dearer my native clouds and skies.
Dearer my humble Irish home.
Their balny sleep gave sweet repose,
And void the day of pressing care,
Youths tide flowed in my ardent
breast,
Bright hope had made her dwelling

But now oppressed with care and

Sadly on alien shores roam
A hapless wanderer, far from thee,
My own dear, peaceful Irish home.
Beyond the gathered mist of years,
A brown matched cottage greets my
sight:
Green ivy clasps it's hallowed walls

About 1t blooms the golden furze,
| Besides it whirls the brooklet's foam
Loved faces meet my wistful gaze
