Hugh Montgomery, whose father
owns large ranch in the fertile San
Joaquin Valley. California, went to
san Francisco and paid a brief visit
at the house of clerical uncle
This divine. who is one of the best
and most hospitatle of men, follows
the custom of having prayers before
breakfast. In connection with this
service each member Of the family
circle is expected to recite a verse OF
Scripture. Hugh, who has habitually
a very healthy appetite. became deeid-
edly sharp set before the amen was
said. When his turn came to recite a
verse he Significantly repeated the fa,
miliar words:
''How many hired servants of my
fathers have bread enough and to
spare. while | perish or hunger?"
The reverend uncle listened with
twinkling eyes and there was d speedy
adjournment Ia a Widespread table.

OWL coURTsHlPs
Show Devotion Rarely Met Among
More Favored Creatures.

More Favored Creatures.
Very funny it is. from the human
point OF view, to witness the love-mak-
ing OF couple of owls on moonlight
night, as they sit together ON the cop
ing Of an old wall, or on the horizontal
limb of some giant of the forest. Perch
ed on the same bough, or the same wall
or ruin, the lady owl, though usually
much bigger and stronger than her
mate looks the picture of demure coy
ness, If a little excited inwardly, like
a girl at her first ball.
But the male OWL says the Pail Mall
Magazine, is very much in earnest; for
a moment or two he remains quite
still, then he puffs out all his feathers,
bows, and utters softened scream,
followed by a modified hiss that is full
of tender meaning, and then he nudges
her with his wing; she opens her big
eyes very wide, and gives him side
long glance that may be a hint, for,
horrible to relate. from the depths OF
his interior he instantly brings UP a
half-digested mouse; and, although she
is full of similar rodents and stag
beetles as she can comfortably hold,
she opens her mouth and accepts the
fragrant gift with a murmur of satis-
faction that speaks volumes of love
and thanks. Then, when the dainty
morsel has been disposed of, tley ca
ress each other tenderly for a i.-oment
or two, and then sit closely pressed to
each others side while the recess Of
assimilation is perfected. a-.cr which
they simultaneously fit away into the
moonlight on noiseless wing in search
of further prey.
Not only do the owls guard each
other. with devotion that is rarely met
with among more favored creatures,
they positively idolize their ill-lavored
offspring, for whose sake they willing
ly risk not only liberty, but life. A
young owl is not an attractive looking
object from our point Of view. but in
Its fathers and mothers eyes it is per-
fection, and the way they wait on it,
cuddle and caress it, feed it and keep
It clean, must be seen to be believed.

Although the boundary line between
the United States and Mexico was de-
fined over half century ago by the
Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo after the
Mexican War, there has seldom been a
time since then when the precise loca-
ton of this international limit has not
given cause for vigorous disputes and
often bloody border warfare between
the Mexican and American settlers near
the line.
After the treaty of 1853 survey was
made of the line. to effect some neces-
sary changes. Monuments were put up

most of these landmarks were SIMPLY
rude piles of stone, and the ease with
which they could be destroyed or re-
moved was soon discovered by the
nearby settlers, never loath to seize
an opportunity for quarrel with their
neighbors on the other side of the in
ternational fence. Finally, in 1882,
owing to continual boundary quarrels,
convention TO settle them was ar
ranged between the two countries.
But on account OF various delays it
was not until November. 1891, that
members of the International Boundary
Commission were at last appointed.
BY the month of June. 1894, all work
along the entire line, both surveying
and mountaineering was finished
Two hundred and hfty-eight monu-
ments, some of stone, and some of iron,
had been placed along the seven hum
dred miles of boundary west of the Rio
Grande. The intervals between them
were varied to suit the requirements
of the different religions, but the dis
tances averaged about two and three
quarter miles between each two.
Some of the experiences of the men,

here. The mountainous region for
many miles about Nogales. Arlz, is enc

seen for the first time the strange and
ungainly giant cactus, called the ''su-
guaro" by the Mexieans It's fruit.

pago Indians of the region. who eat it
fresh, dried and preserved. and make
from it, besides, slightly iE.GxicatiHs !

Moreno Flat. west OF the Raboquivari
Mountains and about fifty-fve miles
west of Nogales, a frightful staGdstorm
was encountered on July 3, 1898
About 4 O'Clock in the afternoon
dense, dark-brown cloud was seen ris-
ing in the south. The brilliant sun was
soon overcast, and in a few moments
after the cloud was first observed the
storm broke in all It's fury. III ten or
fifteen minutes il was as black as mid
night: the atmosphere was filled with
loose soil OF the valley to height OF
several hundred feet. respiration be-

A Great Treat PROVIDED oy the Ep-
worth League.
The high water mark in interest
and attendance in the lecture course
so far this year was reached last
night at the Denote lecture.
DeMotte has series OF three lee
lures which go together. Last yea!
was his first appearance here. and
his lecture on Python Eggs and the
American Boy" was given. Last
night he gave the second one. Harp
of the Senses, or Character Building"
The lecture board last night engaged
him to return next winter and give the
third number. "a Plea for Posterity.
or the Problem of Heredity." These
three are a series which teach the
greatest story ever heard in Hutchin-
son-thc building OF strong life. and
getting the most out of II. by under
standing and caring for a body and
mind. DcMotte's mission is to teach
men to know themselves. The lee
lures are illustrated by the finest
stcrcopticon views ever seen in this
city. Many of them are dissolving
views on the canvas in colors. and
the experiments are the most accurate

Harrington. manipulatcs the machine
while DeMotte speaks from the plat
form.
DeAiotte is n deep philosopher. He
makes the deep problems clear to his
hearers so that the young grasp
mighty truths undcrstandingly. He
entcrtains by his wit and holds your
close attention by his logic. His die
,ior is pure and the flow Of language
at times is as musical as the rippling
of brooks over messy stones. There
is beauty. wit. and the teaching OF \
great lesson of life in his lectures.
a well known citizen passing out Of
the theater last evening after the
close of the lecture said: THAT was
worth the entire cost Of this years
course and last years course added
