Away down In New Mexico
There dwolla a clever maid;
ShO Is a happy Navajo.
Tho faifest OF her shade.
That she Is pretty, be aitests
Who meets her ev'ry day;
Who stands before the hogan door
Whore lives this maiden gay
'1ls he, Il buck OF hraway build.
Who shares her bliss and woe;
Who loves the very ground that bears
This winsome Navajo.
But. listen, as tell yon now
Some things YOU ought 20 learn:
This maiden's way Is quite astlr,
Her swain's Is taclturn;
She says She asked him 20 be- herA
One night not long ago;
That he consented with a nod
A whisper very low.
Next month the bucks and squaws will
flock
To aoe this couple made
4 loyal pair that mus take arms
Against life's barricaie,
Alasl that all the girls are not
Such fearless Navaloai
That men can't DO the bucks they
should
when maids would fain propose.

There lives a worthy maid
Her cheeks are full OF swarihy tint.
Her eyes with love arayed;
Her locks are raven as the night.
Her hands are wondrous large;
She smiles. she sings and weayes with
pride
The blankets IN her charge.

SAWED IN TWAIN.

A terrible death came like q
flash to Oscar Mitchell at J. E.
Copeland's saw mill at Dasher
station, seven miles below Valdos-
ia. Mitchell was engaged i'll pull
ing the timber from the saw and
piling them out to one side.
About 5 O'Clock he caught hold of
a plank and was removing it from
the saw when it slipped from him,
being drawn back towards the saw
and jerking him over on it. The
man struck the saw lengthwise
and was sawed entirely in two,
parts of his body falling upon
each side Of the rapidly moving
machine. His death was instan-
taneOus.

THOUGH DEAD, HE RODE OUT HIS
TICKET.

An extreme case of a railroad COM
panY carrying out its.contract as COM
mon carrier occurred on the Georgia
railroad few days ago.
Gus Spratling, of Atlanta, was pas
senger on the train, going to Augusta,
and tells the following experience:
Just before the train reached the un-
ion depot, an old negro man rushed to
the ticket office, purchased ticket to
Barnett and hurried back to the plat
form to catch the train. As he reached
the side of the platform near where the
train stops, the old man fell dead, one
eutstretched hand still holding to the
ticket.
When the train pulled up to the depot
and stopped the crew noticed the old
man lying dead onlthe platform, and
their attention was attracted by the
ticket in his hand. Seeing that it read
to Barnett, the flagman and brakeman
picked the body up, carried it into the
train and propped it up in seat in the
smoking car, much as if the man were
sleeping. The hand, still grasping the
ticket, was extended over the back of
the seat, and as the conductor passed
through the car he pulled the ticket
from the cold fingers, punched it and
passed on. When the train reached
Barnett, the crew lifted the dead body
from the smoking car. carried it iatt
the waiting room ana deposited it on a
bench.
