The Judge looked over the court Off
cials to see If there was any OF them
on whom he could rely to disarm the
prisoner, and seeing there was not he
made a virtue OF necessity and pro
ceeded with the trial.
Pike. in the eyes of the law, had
very weak case. He had fired so quick
that the greaser had not had time even
to draw his weapon. Ills hand had
graspcd it. but In his full he had re.
leased his grip. and the revolver re-
manned In his belt. On its face II was
clear case of the murder Of q peace
full citizen When called on to speak
In his own behalf the prisoner said:
You'd better convict me, gentlemen
OF the jury, cause hain't no time to
work up defense. I'd have to send
up to my county for witnesses, and
that would take time. Besides, the life
Of a greaser isn't worth the trouble
Such being the evidence OF murder
and the wnnt OF evidence Of justizca
ton. the Jury had no choice hut to
bring IN verdict OF murder IN the
drst degree The prisoner thanked them
for the expedition with which they had
acted and requested the judge to pro-
nounce sentence Immediately.
The judge, seeing that he could not
control events. wisely concluded to per-
nit events to control him. He granted
the prisoners request by promptly SEN
fencing him to be taken out from the
courtroom and hanged By the neck
until he was dead. Pike arose, and the
sheriff led the way out to tree In
front of the store over which court
was held, a rope was procured, mule
cart was impressed into the legal serv-
ice and the prisoner put into It. Then
the sheriff adjusted the NOISE and, get
ting down, went to the head Of the
mule and took hold OF the bit TO lend
the animal forward
The prisoner submitted to all this,
only manifesting some impatience.
When the sheriff proposed to bind his
arms Pike dcmurred, saying that lie
had no intention Of interfering with
the hanging The sheriff deslsted.
When the sheriff was shout to lead the
mule onward the doomed man asked
him 70 wait d moment and said to him !.

There were hats Of all descriptions,

All quite chic and smart and swagger
and 100 sweet for anything.
There wefe bats with brims extended
there were hats without much brim:
Some were picturesque and fluffy and
some other near and trim.
They were skcwgecd kind d sideways

They were trimmed with fiImy chiffon

They were edged with cohweb Iaces, they

There were some ro-etted under, There

And you couldn't find a bonnet That was

And the colors! Glowing ruby. royal

Green ana yellow, brown and olive
every shade Of every hue,
To say nothing Of the white ones and

And the ysricd combinations. Well, you
never saw such dreams.
Oh, the yevets aud the satins and ths

Pike went down to Donna Ana coun-

had come for. did not walt to be told
about 1t Or to have bis purpose execut-

went on eating his dinner.
Now it happened that young law

WELCOME WORDS TO WOMEN.

From the view point of the average
man homework is very easy. The wife
is right at home. She is her own mis-
tress. She can sit down and rest any
time. She can even go 10 bed for nap
if she feels like it. She can order her
household affairs Just TO suit her own
convenience. II she doesn't feel equal
to doing work to-day, she can do it
tomorrow. That's the beautiful theory
of the average man.
just suppose the Egyptian task-mas-
tiers, when they made the required
daily tale OF bricks tax the uttermost
OF human strength, had said to the
toiiing slaves, vDon't hurry, take a
rest every now and then = only don't
forget that your tale OF bricks must
be all right at night or else there'll be
trouble
There's the fact. There are the
days duties 10 be got through, and the
women who can rest may not. The
woman, who, when she married, said,
rNow, I'll be my own Mistress finds
herself o Hlave to household cares and
duties.
And OH how much that woman
needs rest sometimes. She brushes and
scrubs, and rolls pastry, her temples
throbbing, her back aching, her nerves
quiyering under the stress of pain.
What she would give ii she could just
creep upstairs and throw herself on the
bed in darkened room and rest.
Rest would temporarily relieve the
strain, doubtless, but it would be the
eaine story over again tomorrow. The
