And low ewes icy fretting.

And brown eyes full of grieving;
Of one who still her steps delayed
Though all the school were leaving
For near her stood the little boy
Her childish favor singled,
With cap pulled low upon face
Where pride and shame were mingled.
Pushing, with RESTLESS feet, the snow
To right and Left, he fingered
While restlessly the tiny hands
The blue checked apron fingered.
He saw her lift her eyes, he felt
The soft hands light caressing
And heard the E7embIe of her voice
As if fault confessing.

'I hate t'o. go above you; because"

Because, You know, / love you"

Like her, because they love him.

raised the STANDARD of revolt.n after
Naiiiornla had passed into possession of
1ne Americans His headquarters were
IN mat part of Los Angeles known no

mainly settled by people from that
mexican province. The "Flores rebel.
non - led to the battle of San Pascual
IN which about twenty Americans were
killed, the bloodiest in the several
skirmishes during the conquest of Cal.
ifornia.
1t was from Sonora that bandits
subsequently, came. These bands mw-.
dered miners and plundered ranches
1or several years, until finally they
were hunted down and exterminated
by companies of California Rangers.
The Sonorans have, ever since the
conquest, entertained for the gringos
an undying hatred, which has shown
itself in the occasional murder of
American miners in that rich district
In addition, their hatred for the gringo
was further intensified by the several
flibustering expeditions that invaded
that state from California, soon after
the conquest of California.
The most noted invasion, or filibus- |
tering expedition was partly inaugu.
rated by an "exile" for Sonora, and.
strangely, the cause originated from
the Pesqueria mine, the same which |
caused the recent troubles. This his
toric and very valuable mine was
owned by Don Juan Baptista Alma,
who was an aspirant for the govern
orship of Sonora. Gov. Pesqueria
caused his arrest, alleging treason
and conspiracy, and confscated" this
valuable mine, which he personally
.ook possession of and worked for many |
vears Finally, he exiled Alma, who,

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes The kidneys filter the
blood. They work night and day.
When healthy they remove about 500
grains Of impure matter daily, when
unhealthy some part of this impure
matter is left in the blood. This
brings on many diseases and symp-
toms-pain in the back, headache,
nervousness, hot, dry skin, rheuma-
tism, govt, gravel, disorders of the
eyesight and hearing. dizziness, ir-
regular heart, debility drowsiness,
dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc. But
if you keep the filters right you will
have no trouble with your kidneys.
