fled slowly back TO the town, Ieav-
ing Sherman, the station agent on
the wire They Ioafed about the store
and tried to pass the time. Some brave
soul suggested a game Of penny ante
Sandy froze him with look. Acct
dents OF various kinds were barred as
a topic Of conversation Sandy said
they were not enliEenin'." The crops
seemed a safe subject till rash one
spoke Of a Hscaldin' hot summer" and
that was tabOoed. It was pretty hard
Then Sherman numbered up the street
from the station waving a sheet OF
paper.
They've struck a water tank about
thirty miles out Everybody o. K as

I had to lock the station
And all day long they sat there and
at intervals Sherman sent them mes

1t wasn't till after that they heard
from Denver. Billy was in the care
Of the doctors and nurses Of St. Luke's
hospital. They hoped he'd pull
through but they din't know.
Then most every one went home.
But Sandy stayed through and kept
Sherman company at the station, ask
ing Denver every few minutes If Billy
Bruno was coming along all right
And about 2 o'clock in the morning,
when the clean, steady wind blew
Sandy's chaps against the pony's side,
he woke up the town again with more
gun play.
But when they heard him roar

Did you ever stop to think that
our city is a city that enjoys many
natural and acquired resources-a
city that needs but the skillful
manipulation Of man to make them
yield beautifully of their rich treas
urea substantial city whose foun-
dations are laid upon soil that
cannot be surpassed for productive
Mesa city supplied with the very
best and purest of water-a city
whose educational advantages have
reached a standard through the skill
full direction of competent officials,
second to that of no other place Of
It's sire nywhere-a city where har-
money among the communicates OF
the different churches is in perfect
accord with the object sought by
our forefathers of the ''Mayflower''
and all doctrines are ably expounded
with untrammeled freedom from
the pulpits o. our different churches
"a city whose social advantages
are equal to those afforded by places
many times it size and age-a city
where the rich enjoy every luxury
desired, and the poor are not al
lowed to suffer-a city where peace
and good will toward all men is ex-
emplifed.

Lees Favorite War Horse.

General Lees favOrite war horse.
Traveller, was almost as we'll known
to the soldiers of the Army of Northern
Virginia as the majestic form of the
great commander himself. Captain
Robert Z. Lee, Jr., youngest son of
the general, in his "RecOllectionS and
Letters Of General Robert E. Lee" has
much to say of Traveller To an artist
who wanted to paint the horse General
Lee wrote:
IF l were an artist like you l would
draw a true picture of Traveller, repre-
senting his fine proportions, muscular
figure, deep chest and short back,
strong launches, fiat legs, small head,
broad forehead, delicate ears, quick
eye, small feet and black name and
tail. Such a picture would inspire a
poet, whose genius could then depict
his worth and describe his endurance
Of toll, hunger, thirst. heat, cold and
the dangers and sufferingS through
which lie passed. He could dilate upon
his sagacity and affection and his in
variable response to every wish Of his
rider. He might even imagine his
thoughts through the long night march
es and days of battle through which
he has passed. But 1 am no artist; /
can only .,ay he is a Confederate gray"

SOME USES OF TEA.
Many Ways In Which the Leaves Are
Employed In China.

Employed In China.
In China tea leaves from the cup are
used in sweeping floors, as they are
sometimes used in the United States,
but this does not end their utilitarian
purposes. In regions where fuel is
scarce the refuse leaves are pressed
into bricks, dried and used in the same
manner as blocks of peat This fuel
is particularly priced for pork curing,
and the tea cured or tea smoked meat
is to the Chinese what beechnut and
sugar cured bacon and ham are to the
American. The ashes from the fuel
are used as q fertilizer. But even be
fore it's use as fuel the refuse tea serves
another purpose. The leaves are Wig
Orously stewed or allowed to steep in
cold water in order to recover the tan
mic acid which they contain, about II
per cent.
This is used in tanning leather and
in dyeing textiles. 1t gives q fine, per
manent nut brown color, requires no
mOrdant and is unaffected by sunlight,
bleaching or washing. Sometimes the
refuse tea leaves are used as fodder
for farm stock, at least providing bulk
if not much nutrition. Again, they
may be dried. mixed with the low
grade, factitiously scented teas of com
merce and are then known as lie tea
The decOctiOn resulting from such tea
cannot be far superior to one made
from hay.
Brick tea even serves as money. 1t
is still in circulation as a medium of
exchange In the far inland Chinese
towns and central Asiatic marts and
bazaars. Between the MOngolian town
of Urgas and the Siberian town of
Kiakta @ there is usually as much as
100000 taels (SS5,OOO) of this money in
circulation. At the latter place it
ceases to be used as currency and en-
ters into the regular brick tea trade of
Siberia and Russia. As brick tea it is
largely used in the Russian army, by
survey engineers, tourists and hunters.

habit has not yet been fully acquired
by all our race, for we see even at this
late day many persons of human status
to whom the shelter of a roof is abhor-
rent and who prefer in the worst of
weather to lie out under a hedge side
rather than submit to the restraint of
roof and walls.
1t is to the imperfect acquisition of
this later instinct to seek shelter i'll
confined spaces, or, rather, it is to thu
reassertion over it of the more remote
and earlier instinct of craving for the
open sky and irksomeness of cOnfine-
ment, that the malady of claustrOphoA
bia seems to me to be due In the sub
ject of this malady is revived in It's
original strength that craving for open
sky and open air, for possibility of
movement in every direction, which
were ingrained in our ancestors by
their free arboreal lives and which
were overcome with such difficulty
when first they descended to inhabit
terra firma Like the sufferer from
agOraphObia. he who suffers from
claustrophobia experiences the revival
OF an ancestral instinct that has been
obsolete for untold generations, but
that has been lost more recently than
that revived in agoraphobia. Since it
existed down to a later date, since 1t
has been more recently lost. it is more
easily revived, and this is the reason,
/ think that claustrophObia is 50 much
less rare than agOraphObia
Whatever their origin, the two mala-
dies are equally inveterate. They are
refractory to remedies. They are re
calcitrant to treatment They endure
for years and often for a lifetime

The RAhamans.

A most curious utenSil Of Bahaman
dwelling is a big cement oven, like a
cone, at the back Of the house. In this
the family bread is baked. Bahamas
are physiologicallS starved, and their
thin. attenuatcd forms show it. An
unvarying diet of fish and fruit is not
nourishing enough, and the fact speaks
for itself IL these islanders. The white
Bahamans are homely and sall0w I'M
less burned 50 that the complexion is
a thing of he past They rarely. some
never, wear shoes; hence feet in these
ATTITUDES are feet and not merely the
ends of legs l used to gaze in admira-
ton at the feet that daily and nightly
visited our schooner. The owners of
the appdndages could walk where a
shod foot could not bear to tread. The
skin becomes tougher than leather.
Black Bahamas are the finest speci-
mems Of the negro race to be seen out
side Of Africa -strapping fellows, with
magnificent arms and chests-but they
are dreadful beggars and dreadful
