Irish Wit.

Once upon a time an Irishman and
Yankee were riding along together.
They happend to pass gallows and
the Yankee asked: where would
you be, friend If the gallows had all
that is due to it?" "Sure, an I'd be
ridin' meself to-day, sor," answered
the witty son of Erin.
Once upon time an Irish horse
dealer sold to a man a mare that he
assured the purchaser was "sound in
mind and limb and without fault"
After the mares new oner took her
home he found the animal was blind
in one eye and could scarcely see
with the other. Returning to the
Irishman, he protested, saying: "You
assured me the mare was without
fault, and I find her blind of an eye."
To this the ready Irishman made
answer: "Sure, an the poor critters
blindness is not her fault, but her
misfortune, soir."

THE WHITE PAINT OF THE
WHITE HOUSE.

The White House at Washington,
which has been the Kings Palace
of the American people since it was
first occupied by President Madison
n 1909, has recently undergone a
thorough course of remodeling, reno
yation and repair. Every American
citizen is owner of an undivided
eighty or eighty-five millionth part Of
he White House, as well as of the
'ther Public Buildings and Monuments S
n the Capitol City. An item in the
renovation of the remodeled White
House was repainting. Every visitor
70 Washington knows why the White
House is SO called-because it Is lit
orally a white house" The exterior
paint must therefore be white. Now
while the pure white surfaces and sim,
ole lines of the White House, set in
he midst of green lawns and beauti-
III trees, produce a very satisfying
effect Of dignified simplicity. white
paint from a practical point Of view,
is about the most unsatisfactory kind
IF paint that could have been selected
by the original designers. First, be-
cause any white paint is easily dis
colored by smoke and dust, and sec
md because ordinary white paint
itself gradually turns gray or brown
ish yellow from exposure
But white the White House is and
white it must remain or it would no
longer be the white House" So the
renovators, making the best of a dis
couraeins situation, sought for the
best kind Of white paint procurable.
The average citizen if asked to guess
what kind of paint they finally decided
On would probably white
lead and OIL" but he would guess
wrongly. The .aint selected as the
best obtainable was a ready mixed
paint, such as can be bought in any
we'll furnished village store, such as
is used by more than half of the
eighty or eiohty-five million owners
of the White House on their own
homes. That one brand of mixed
paint was used instead of another is
a mere accidental detail-there are
llilN OF d HuHuteu UTdlluS Ou tHe
market that might have been selected
in other circumstances, and in fact,
a different brand was used in paint
ing the Capitol
Every property owner, therefore,
who paints his house with a high
grade ready-mixed paint is following
the example set by the Government
Authorities at Washington, who used
ready-mixed paint, because they could
find not hing else as good.

business of this annual meeting always
has been to arrange for the annual

about the only business transacted was
to decide to hold no roundup for this

CHAPTER XVIII.
The Ruined Temple.

When the wind first began to roar
and shrek over the hill on which
Lord Chugmough and William had
pitched their temporary camp, the first
disastrous result was that their horses
which, perhaps, knew enough to rec
ognize the warning in the sound, broke
their bounds and galloped away.
AS the patter of their feet on the
hillside died away. Lord Chugmough
shrugged his shoulders
Our 'osses ave gone, me lord" said
William.
so have discovered, William" was
the calm reply. But l was getting
rather weary of the brutes, to tell the
truth. We will walk awhile now"
Just SO, me lord. Walkin' his

stitutional hon"
Lork Chugmough waved his hand
depreciatingly.
"Habont the deer. me lord. the losses
bein' gone"
Don't alarm yourself needlessly,
William" said Lord Chugmough. II
will carry the deer on my shoulder"
Suiting the action to the word. when
Lord Chugmough had got his pipe
fairly alight, he seized the half
skinned carcass of the deer and slung
1t across his shoulder with apparently
no effort.
Come, William" he safd. and he led
the way down the eastern slope OF the
mountain.
After he had walked some distance
through cedar, caoutchouc and ebony
trees, he paused.
William" he said. Il: seems to me
that we have here a sort OF path
where people have recently walked.
The path did not lead straight up
the mountain. toward the top. but
wound around II. Lord Chugmough
struck into the path, and William fol-
lowed him.
After walking short distance. they
came upon an old stone ruin.
What have We here, William"
aSked Lord Chugm0ugh.

known Lord Chugmough to keep in
one direction very long, and it was
highly probable that If a search-par
was sent of to the north Lord Chug-
mough would calmly walk into camp
from the south, and then 1t would be
necessary to send out another party
to recover the first one.
So they waited, and continued to
wait until it became the unanimous
opinion of the party that Lord Chug-
mough and William had been killed or
lost their way, and the indecision of
Sir GallOping Grace and George, Wis.,
count Elsmere, gave way to firm de-
termination to go In search of their
companion. But this resolve was nulli-
fed by the refusal of the guides to go
a step.
mo, senor," said one Of them, "it
would be dangerous. See there!"
Sir Galloping followed the index
finger Of the guide with his glance
and at once began to fear, not only for
Lord Chugmough's safety, but for his
own and everybodys
For the guide was not without rea-
son In refusing to go farther into
danger.
The sky, which had so far been de-
cent enough, clear now and then, with
intermittent rain clouds, was now
frightful to behold.
Great banks of hideous blackness
were rolling and tumbling toward
them, and the wind, which had sud
denly risen, increased to the force Of
a tempest.
ITO shelter!" cried one Of the guides,
"Francisco's house is not far away
Follow me-
Forgetting Lord Chugmough and ev-
eryth1ng else save their own impend-
ing danger they mounted their plung-
ing, snorting horses and followed their
fleeing guides over the long grass, now
fiattened to the ground by the wind,
to large two-story structure of wood
and cement, where Pedro Francisco
had his home.
Pedro, as We know. was away from
home, but his hOuse-servants well
coined the Englishmen and gave them
shelter, and it was not moment too
soon that they reached the friendly
roof.
The wind increased in fury, the
clouds grew blacker and thicker and
overspread the sky, and then there
came dOwnpour of rain such as
Venezuela had never known before
The tiny streams In the mountains
swelled to the dimensions OF rivers
The ripping brooks became roaring
rushing torrents. The streams that
flowed north into the Orinoco tumbled
and roared and lashed their banks, and
then rushed over them on the fat
lands. The streams flowing into the
OrinOc0 from the north copied after
those on the south until the great
river itself was lashed to a fury never
seen on its broad bosom before, and
up. up its angry waters came until
even the hog-back was covered, the
Turtle was torn from her moorings
and carried out to sea, and the people
OF Bolivar were compelled to seek
higher ground to save themselves from
the overwhelming food.
It was an occasion to wiring the souls
OF men, to destroy hope. to plunge hui
manity into despair.

mough, as he watched the roaring,
seething torrents about him, the re-
mark to William:

SIatin Pasha.

A most exciting career has been that
OF Sir Rudolph Slatin, better known
as Slatin Pasha. He left Vienna. his
birthplace, when lad Of II, to become
clerk in q commercial house in Cal
70, and six years later came under the
notice OF Gordon, who appointed him
governor OF Darfur. In this position
he became known as "The Hammer Of
the Arabs" owing to his many vic
tories over the turbulent tribes, but in
1883 he had to surrender to the Mahdi.
Then began an Imprisonment that
lasted till 1895, when, by secret aid
from the authorities at Cairo, Slatin
managed to escape. The late queen
had Sir Rudolf at Windsor several
times to hear him relate his adven-
lures.

of the good things traded for during

to the then territorial chairman, who
generally knows, say he was kept
busy passing out commissions in ex-
change for the votes of the delegates
against Rodey.
Rodey is q disturbing element, just
now, and there are some willing to
declare that he is now in Washington

leaders of New Mexico. He was after

tell a few things on the other mem

~ II
Raynolds was not saved by the
showing of innocence he made, not
by a long shot, but because Luna,
principally aided by Llewellyn and
others, made a tremendous fgth and
by securing the personal Intervention
of the president induced the commit
tee to report favorably upon the con-
flrmation. All this yelling about the
vindication received is all hot air and
every man in Washington during the
time the matter was before the sen
ate will tell you So, if he tells the
truth. It was simply a case of hard
pulling by Luna and the organization
behind him, and their good fortune
in securing the active aid of the pres
ident.
The record of the pardons granted
by Reynolds made every honest man
on the senate committee sick at
heart, but the party whip was too
much for them when the only thing
at stake was the little territorial of

SO they do not care how much trouble
they cook up for him; in fact they
are looking for a good bunch of trou-
Bile to hand the new governor, after
which they will offer their services,
in hope that they will be able to get
him in their dragnet. They know
that they are lost without Otero me-
thods to fight with, and every effort is
being made to force the old condi-
ion upon Hagerman. They must
trade offices and commissions for leg

boxes, pardon convicts for political
purposes, increase the taxes of poll
teal enemies and decrease the taxes
of political friends, and work all other
vote-getting schemes of Oteroism in
order to keep themselves in power,
and if the new governor will not fall
in with them, the sooner he gets into
trouble the better for them.

Photography Without Light.

4 process for producing photographs
without the aid of light, named photo
tegy" was recently discovered in France
by Dr. Anderson and Mr.. Houzel and
bids fair to revolutionize photography.
Negatives after being developed, are
washed ard immersed in strong solu-
ton of peroxide of hydrogen which both
dissolves the gelatine on the plate in
proportion to the light action thereon,
and strips the same from the glass, at
the same time the image gradually grow
ing paler. When the process is complet-
ed the film is washed and immersed in
a solution of a suitable dye which is
taken up by the gelatine in direct proper
ton to the light action, forming at once
a colored relief in gelatine which results
in a positive picture by transmitted light.
From this positive film duplicate copies
may be made by simply pressing paper
against the same which absOrbs the dye
in the film in turn resulting in a print
Any number of copies may be easily
made in any desired color by simple CON
tact without light.
The process is especially valuable In
three color photography true color re-
productions being obtained in one tenth
of the time usually required for this
work.
