COT wHAr HE CALLED FOR.

A tall, lanky, sallow individual en- tered Girard avenue restaurant & day or two ago, laid his broad-rim- med sombrero on the chair beside him. and in answer to the walters query as to what he would have, said fiercely: "Fried rattlesnake." The waiter, not at all abashed, went to to the hole in the wall and roared: '.Fried rattlesnake!" Back from the depths came the answer, "Frled tat- tlesnake" The man with the som- ,brero looked surprised, but waited. The cook below, evidently alive to the situation, skinned an eel, fried 1t, and sent it aloft, roaring out again: Fried rattlesnake!' to which the walter re- sponded in the same words as he took the dish from the dunb-waiter. Wheni the viand was set before him the tall person arose, put on his hat, walkedH to the cashiers desk, paid his bill, and. went out without touching the dish!. "One on him." said the waiter.

the swinging nnorsel of humanity if any accident should occur, yet he goes calmly on with the days work with only rope between him and a horrible death.
 The heavy shoes he wears are tip- ped with clawlil1e irons, which ena-. 'ble him to grip on to the cliffs with his feet and every now and then he will facilitate his ascent or descent by kicking himself away from the cliff face until he swings out twenty yards or so, only to come back to the hard walls with shock against which his skill and strength alone serve, in en- abling him to avoid serious injury.
 At signal his three comrades get into their respective positions in line, each with his feet in prepared holes, and seated on the brow they haul and haul until the helmeted head appears over the side and the cliff climber re- appears loaded with the eggs contain ed in two canvas bags slung one on each side. The eggs are unloaded into baskets, and the little party of men move to another pitch to repeat the operation.
 In rough weather the climber is spun round until a less experienced hand would be bewildered and sick, while he is swung hither and thitller with every capricious gust of Wind then the risks are increased tenfold and the work requires such enormous physical strength, that even the brawny toilers sink exhausted between their efforts.-From the American Boy.

EDITOR JAILED
IN CHIHUAHUA
His 0ffenSe Consists of Pub
fishing a Constitutional
Argument.

FL PasO. Tex, April Because he had
been arguing that Enrique C. Creel, am

could not be elected the constitutional
governor of the state of Chihuahua. Sill
vestre Terrazas, editor of Ell Correro. a
daily newspaper of high standing pub
lished in the city of Chihuahua, is in Jail.
Mr.. CreeTs father was an American cit
izen, which fact according to the consti-
tuition of the state of Chihuahua renders
Mr.. Creel ineligible for the office of con.
stitutional governor. His father-in-IaW
General Terrazas, has been the constitu-
tiOnal governor of the state for many
years and Mr.. Creel has been substitute
or acting governor, and is now an avowed
candidate for constitutional governor Ell
COrrero is opposing his candidacy and has
quoted from the constitution those sec
tons which show his ineligibility. In
closing an appeal to Mr.. Creel to with
draw as a candidate. FL Correro in it's
issue received here last night says:
''Will you accept an anti-cOnstitutional
Sovernorship. which is almost treason, or
will you decline such an attack without
parallel on your native country"
Immediately after this article appeared,
Editor TeTTaZaS was arrested and thrown
into prison. The arrest has caused pro-
found sensation throughout northern
Mexico and is being used not without eff
feet by the agitators against the Diaz

there were 542 more births i'm the stakes of

fact was pointed out in an address by
Counselor Anthem II. Lund of the first

Elder Lund gloried in the fact that the
Mormon people are increasing their num-

would be brought up in the faith and
eventually become leaders of the hosts of
Zion. He also cited statistics to SHOW
that the death rate in all the stakes Of

Wisdom and did not indulge in body and
