Nobody ever called In question the
courage of the early Spanish settlers
Of California, but there seems to have
been at least one man among their
descendants who held discretion to be
the better part Of valor. His fellow
countrymen still preserve the memory.
with a keen appreciation OF Its point.
A certain Don Andreas was interview
ed by his superior officer on the eve Of
an engagement with the enemy ana
was warned that the American was q
very different foe from the Indian or
the Mexican and that courage should
not be pushed to rashness In an en-
counter with him.
"Have no fear, general" was the re-
sponse of the intrepid caballero. II
would far rather that history should
record from where fed than where ]
fell"
The generals mind was probably re-
lieved of anxiety concerning the fate
Of at least one individual In his COM
mand by this reply.

The shrike. or Rutcher BIRD.

There is a strange little bird, about
as big as a robin, which nearly every
winter brings us, He is generally
alone, like q tiny black and gray hawk
n many OF his ways, but related truly
TO the gentle yireos and waxwings. He
is the northern shrike, or butcher bird,
and he gets a cruel living by catching
mice and little birds. which he hangs
on locust thorns, sharp twigs or the
points OF wire fence, as his little feet.
unlike the hawks, are not strong
enough to hold his prey. But he Is a
handsome fellow, and rarely one may
hear a very sweet little song as he sits
on the top of some leafiess bush, par
ticularly late in the winter. But gen.
orally he Is silent, like the true birds
of prey, or at best gives only a rasping
squeal.-St. Nicholas,
The Origin of q Familiar Saying.
When Aurelius Paulus, the Roman
consul, desired a divorce from hia wife
some friends reasoning with him asked:
"Is she not beautiful and virtuous and
Of noble family and great WEALTH.
What fault, then, can you find with
herY
And the consul stopped down, unfas-
tened his shoe and, showing 1t to- them,
answered: us it not Of fine material ,

CURIOUS PLEASURES.


They Were Costly ~ Well, Since the
Price Was Death.
The late King Ludwig Of Bavaria
frequently ordered performances Of
opera for his private delsctation, but
an Englishman, Curtis Donnythorpe.
maintained for his personal entertain
ment troupe Of dancers, at one time
one Of the most noted organisations or
the English music hall stage.
Mr. Donnythorpe was an invalid and,
being unable to crafty his passion for
dancing In his own person, engaged
the Kelby troupe. He had q stage
built in his home, whereon they per-
formed daily. It was his habit to sug-
gest new steps, and while encoufaging
them to fresh endeavor one day he
brought ON the attack Of heart disease
which ended his life.
He was not the only one killed by
his pleasures, for Theodore Botley, an
other Englishman. devoted his whole
life to his stomach. He had agents
throughout the world in search Of new
dishes, and, that he might eat more
frequently than nature demanded. It
was his practice to engage In manual
labor for the purpose Of getting up an
appetite. He had the largest library
on the subject Of eating that has ever
been gathered together. In the end he
died of starvation because his stomach
was unable to assimilate ordinary
nourishing foods.
He had his complement In Charles
P. Cashel, in whom the sense Of smell
was as keenly developed a. 1t In in
hunting dog. He reveled In the richest
perfumes and In the end lost his sense
Of smell completely through overin-
diligence in the perfume Of South
American flower. This left him unable
to detect the odor Of escaping gas, and
he was asphyxiated.
The Russian Count Ivanovitch Of the
time Of the first Emperor Nicholas died
Of fright at the announcement that the
emperor had declared his intention Of
visiting him and sending him to labor
In the salt mines II he did not leave
his bed to welcome him. For years he
had never left his bed and indulged
In liquid foods as being the more easy
to eat.-New York Herald.

Around the saIton Sink.

San Francisco.-After an expendi-
ture OF about $50O,OOO, the Southern
Pacific officials announce the final COM
pletion of new piece of track thirty
nine miles long in the Colorado desert,
which will enable their trains to run
without interference from the waters
of the Colorado river, which have filed
the Salton sink and ruined about forty
miles of their main line. The new
track will become part of the main
line unless the Salton sink is finally
rid Of water by the proper control Of
the waters of the Colorado.
The new track leaves the present
main line at Mecca, station t-arteen
miles east OF Indie, and joins the main
line again at place called Volcano. 1t
is fifty feet higher than the piece Of
main line it supplants and is about
two miles away from the present Level

Suicide from Grief.

Denver. = Heartbroken over the
death of her fiance the day before, and
hopeless of the future because she be-
lieved her family had forever turned
her out into the world to earn her own
living, and because she was without
money to continue the struggle for ex-
istence, Alice Croft, daughter of a
ranchman residing near Sullivan, Col
orado, went into a rooming house at
1850 Lincoln avenue about o'clock
Thursday afternoon, gave fictitious
name, took quantity of poison, threw
herself upon the bed of a room she had
engaged, and died alone with her grief.
The sad ending Of Alice Croft came
almost on her birthday. In few days
she would have been twenty-four years
old. Her sweetheart, Frank Senter,
passed away Wednesday after suffer-
ing for two weeks from peculiar case
of nosebleed.

This was done, and Secrest lost
again. He bought the drinks a second

Johnson told him there was no cause

posed to shake the dice.

manner as he killed Johnson. Three

three years. 1t is good every summer,
because for some years past the
streams have been systematically
stocked all over the state, but 1t is
bound to be better. More was done in
that direction in 1905 than ever be.
fore. Maj. s. X. Hooper has been hav-
ing some figures made showing the
number of fish put out. In the year
1904 the road transported and helped
place 6,326, 900 young trout in the
streams. OF these 1896, 600 came from
the state hatchery.
Last year the Denver & Rio Grande
distributed 7,669,GO0 young fish in Col
