A True Incident.
A French family has recently had
It's fortunes restored in way to sug-
gest story telling. They were wretch
cdly poor, selling one possession after
another in order to live. One day the
mother, in moving an old desk OF her
grsat-grandfather, came upon an old
book, between the pages Of which was
a stamp Of the Island of Maurice Ut
1S47.
A traveller stopping to rest in the
cottage one dax.saw this stamp, which
boy was sticking to homemade en-
velope, playing 'postonace" with lit
tle friend. This traveller "a man OF
wealth and a collector Of curioO saw
that it was very rare. In truth, there
were but two others In existence, one
belonging to the King Of England AMI
one to the Car Of Russia. He told the
family of their treasure. and It was
through his interest and exertions that
the stamp was subsequently sold for
$500.

The evidence of both the parties rela-

Attorneys for Appellant.
c. e. Mack and Geo. D. Pyne, Attor-
neys for Respondent.
Appealed from the First Judicial
District Court, Lyon County, N. A.
Murphy District Judge.
This action was brought by respond
ent against appellant for the sum OF
S5S40O alleged to be balance due
from appellant to respondent upon an
account stated between them on the 10
day of April. 1901, said account stated
to be in full settlement of their &C
counts to the first day OF May follow
ing. Respondent, also, alleged fur
Their balance due him for labor ana
services rendered appellant from tn"
said first day of MAY, 1901, to the TIN
day of January, 1902, in the sum OF
s146.46 making a total Indebtedness al
legged to be due from appellant to re-
spondent of s73O.46. Appellant denied
that an account was ever stated be-
MED that he was indebted to him in
any sum whatever, but, upon the con-
trary, alleged that respondent was in
debted to him in the sum of $1O12.37,
and prayed Judgment in his favor ac-
cordingly.
The case was tried with jury AMI
a verdict rendered in PLAINTIFFS favor
for the full amount prayed for in his
complaint and Judgment entered in
pursuance thereof This appeal is
from the Judgment and from an order
denying defendants motion for new
trial Two grounds are urged upon
the appeal for the reversal of the
judgment and the granting of new
trial, to wit: that the verdict was
not supported by the evidence, and
errors in law occurring at the trial
and excepted to by the appellant.
There was little testimony offered
at the trial bearing upon the materia,
issues, outside of that given by the
parties to the action, and their testi
mony, upon all material matters, was
at such variance that the jury was
necessarily compelled to determine be
tween them. The verdict shows thai
the jury accepted the testimony of the
plaintiff. If his testimony was true
the plaintiff was entitled to verdic
as prayed for. AS the jury was ths
judge of the creditibility of the wit
nesses, this Court will not attempt Il
disturb it's conclusions in that respect
Counsel for appellant argues very
forcibly that two receipts offered By

made to, or on account of, the plaintiff

en- by one A. Scanvina to the defend

said Scanavina. In reference to thi
receipt, however, the plaintiff testifie'
that at the time the account wa
stated between the parties on the 15t

 Though maintaining that Hohenthal had no accomplices, the public prosecu- tor claimed that the real responsibility for the crime rested on a number of Finnish Nationalists whom he named, especially the publishers of the news paper Free Speech whom he charged with conducting a propaganda of revo- lutionary terrorism. inspiring such crimes as that of HohenthaL.

TIaxeaIa, Mexico, Ruled by Colonel Cahuantzf for Many Years.
 New York Commercial.
 The little state of Tlaxcala, smallest States constituting the republic of Mexico, is among the foremost of them all in historic interest, and the only one governed by an Indian in whose veins runs only Indian blood.
 It is more than twenty years since Colonel Cahuantzi was first elected, and there seems to be good reason to an- ticipate the continuance of his able ad- ministration for an equal period yet to come Certainly the little Common- wealth over which he presides so ac- ceptabiy would rejoice if 1t might go on and on indefinitely
 Throughout his long service Gov ernor Cahuantzi has lived close to his people, made their interests his study, labored earnestly and constantly for their advaneement-menta as well as material-and has been loyal sup porter of the wise policy of President Diaz in the upbuildlng of the republic. Picturesque in his personality, he is none the less practical in his methods, which are those of painstaking. con- servative and industrious man of busf- ness. Proud of the traditions of his race. he has devoted much time and earnest, conscientious study 10 the mastery of the language, the discovery of the long g-hidden antiquities and the preservation of these and the romantic history of which they are both foun- dation and superstructure.
 In all Mexico there Is no other per son so well informed regarding the Tlaxcalan race and it's language, its achievements and it's characteristics. Tn his parlors hang the portraits of its great men and in his library is every obtainable book relating to its part in the country's history before and since the coming of Cortez. Ina church near by, which was erected by the army of Cortez in its march from Vera Cruz against the Aztec emperor, Mon- tezuma, Is the pulpit from which was preached the first Christian sermon heard on this continent, and every where there are evidences of the early civilization so graphically pictured by the Spanish historian Diaz and by our own Prescott. In this atmosphere of surpassing interest the subject of this sketch was born and reared, and to it he has contributed much that will live through the ages.
 In his personal characteristic Gov srnor Cahuantzi merits special praise. Few men filling so conspicuous a place in the public eye illustrate so notably the beauty of a nature that combines strength with tenderness, simplicity with ambition and power with justice
