A PAINFUL DUTY.
Hired Girl Wanted a Day OFF to At
tend the Hanging.

Luther LaUn Mills tells this story
which he considers typical of the start
ling and grotesque nature of some of
the pathos and misery that come to
the surface in the changeful current
of human life. says the Chicago Rec
ord.
A lady in Evanston was approached
by one of her hired girls with the re-
quest that she be allowed to be at
liberty on the following Sunday.
The lady demurred. Way, no. you
cannot get off next Sunday, Bessie;
you know it is Margarets day out.
But ma'am, l want to get away
badly that day pleaded the girl, be
"To go to the funeral? You have
not told me of the death of any OF
your friends
mo. he's not dead yet. ma'am, but
there's no hope for him.
Your sweetheart, Bassie?'
Yes, ma'am."
But this is Thursday. And you
don't expect him to live till Sunday?''
mo, indeed, ma'am."
And you even expect to attend
his funeral on Sunday"
Yes, ma am, and I've got the mourn
ing goods already.
Then his case must be quite hope
less?"
90, entirely hopeless ma'am."
"Too bad. Has he been long all
ing?"
80, he's not ailing at all ma'am.' y
What"
It's not sickness that's the matter
with him at all; he's as well and
strong as ever he was in his life"
Bessie" exclaimed the surprised
lady in indignation. you are trifling
with me most shamefully and l will
not tolerate it one moment longer.

wireless telegraph pole-Marconi sys-
tem-a little way outside the Yamen.
BY means of this wireless mast Yuan
can keep up constant communication
with his army at Poatingfu and his
agents in the imperial palace at Pekin
He was in charge of the Chinese in
terests in Korea before the outbreak
of the war with Japan and played a
great part in the negotiations. But for
that experience he might have con-
tinued an official of the old type. But
he emerged from those days of defeat
and disaster with one lesson burned
In his brain. He realized that China
could never hope to hold her own un-
til she had OCCURRED the knowledge of
the west.
Immediately after his return to
China, he began to apply his knowl-
edge. He was then a taotai, high
mandarin. A new force of modern
trained soldiers had been gathered to-
gether at Hai-cheng. Yuan, although
he had had no military experience,
was made general.
He proved to be born commander.
THE success of the training was
mainly due to the general" said one
of his foreign officers. although not
a trained soldier, he had a wonderful
love and aptitude for military matters,
and devoted his whole life and ener-
CIV to the army"
Many stories are told of Yuan At
this time. All agree that he was the
sternest disciplinarian. For some time
there was only one punishment in his
army-death, and that was ruthessly
applied A soldier once failed to sa-
lutte an English visitor. Yuan took the
mans number, sent for his officer and
ordered his instant decapitation The
Englishman demonstrated. 1T is abb
surd to cut a mans head off because
he forgot to salute me- he protested.
Yuan was polite but firm. Il know
how to manage my own people" he
replied. You must leave me to deal
with them in my own way

CORY Page, Gallup hotel keeper, who
is being tried at this term Of the dis
trict court on the charge of murder
ing Walter Jones, lumberman, a
year ago at Gallup, took the stand
yesterday afternoon in his own be-
hall.
Page told the jury how he came to
assault Jones in the hotel bar He
testified that his wife had told him OF
being insulted by Jones when she
showed him to his room He said
that he Immediately went In search
of the man, finding him in the bar
room. The defendant then told Of
threshing Jones but denied that he
used anything but his fists In making
the assault 1t is believed that the
defense has practically finished It's
case.
1t is thought that the defense will
seek to prove that Jones did not die
as result of the injuries inflicted up
on him by Page, but that he died OF
injuries received by walking out Of q
second story window while delirious
from an attack Of erysipelas. The
case Is attracting wide attention.

ago. At first it was thought the mala
dy was durable, but of late it became
evident that there was no hope for
his recovery and mis- death was ex
pected. He was a man Of force and

but limited education. He worked
hard and successfully during his life
time, for the upbuilding and the bet
terment of his fellow citizens.
Progressive and Liberal Citizen.
He was quite progressive and liber
al in his ideas, was a friend of the
modern public school system of New
Mexico and during his long service in
the Assembly worked for good and
wholesome legislation.
He was popular, fluent and inter
esting speaker in the Spanish Ian
guage and a shrewd politician. The
sad closing of his earthly career will

and relatives in Mora. Taos and Sar
