"Ah, beautiful! Sublime!" was the

There was something sardonic in his

1T is not wonderful, for the teaching is
too exalted. too ethereal. C%onfucius,
on the contrary, is practical, and we

A light step was heard in the road
and Dick quickly slipped back into
his place among the vines. But he
could see plainly through the branch

Ellis who came in at the little gate,
stepped softly up the porch, and

mo, nothing of the kind" answered
Nora, laughing. Nov you come real
close, SO nobody can hear us, and I'll
tell you all about my big idea.'
Well, there was a young fellow at
the gate who was very much interest
ed in what she was saying, but if
she didn't want anyone to hear, he
couldn't stand there and listen, and
he began to feel bit disappointed,
after ALL If Nora Ellis would help
those young rascals play a trick on
poor, defenseless old Mother Green,
she wasn't just the girl he hoped she
was.
He thought he had better walk
off, and return a few minutes later,
perhaps the boys would be gone by
that time. Anyway, he would not ask
it might be he never would He stroll
ed away, and twenty minutes later he
stepped on the Squire's porch, just as
pretty Nora was about to go into
the house.

but he did not tell her he had been
there before that evening. Nor did
he stay very late, that call-Nora was
so sweet and charming he had to keep
his mind pretty firm not to commit
himself and say the very things he
had resolved not to say.
"She does seem so good and kind
that one can hardly think she would
be cruel enough to help that crowd
torment a poor old SOUL" he said,
as he walked down to the stable to
get his horse "Anyhow, I'm going
to do one thing-I'll be at that Hal

are I'D to any real mischief, I'll take

very poor, having no income except
what she could earn with her own
stiff fingers, knitting, weaving rag
carpets and such work, and Dick was
rather sure business had not been
rushing of late, when people could
buy the things she made so much
cheaper at the stores
"It's a born shame to play tricks

warm that folks in the little village
of CherrycrOft had not begun to spend
their evenings in the house, but en-
joyed the bright moonlight on their
cosy front pOrches. So when Dick
Gordon, tall, handsome, stalwart
young farmer, came to the gate at
Squire Ellis's, he saw a glimmer of
white garments on the porch, and
knew that pretty Nora was sitting
waiting for him, he hoped, for
she knew he would not drive out
home until he had seen her. But
while he still stood in the shadow
of the trees, a merry chatter Of boyish
alone, as he wanted to find her. He
had for several weeks been trying
to decide whether or not he was al
together certain that Nora and he
could spend their lives happily with
each other She was very sweet, and
he knew we'll that he did love her,,
but it lad fallen to him to see a few
very unhappy unions among those
he loved best, and he could not help
wishing there was some way Of COM
ing to know just what a girl really
was in her daily life, before he ask
ed the important question. He had
almost made up his mind to risk it,
and ask Nora tonight, and he did
not want any extra company, just

Bob and some of his chums," he
thought as he hesitated at the gate,

they did not see hlm, but he could
hear every word said, and remem-
bering some Of his own bOyish pranks
he smiled to hear Bob Ellis exclaim,

two or three big pumpkins in the
woodshed, and Jim Grimes has got
some of the awfulest lookin' jack-o-
lanterns you ever did see, and scare

can't scare anybody with a pumpkin

don't want to do that"

 The president of the St. Hilda society is Mrs. Henry Homer Washburn, wife of the clergyman. This season the so- ciety has been sewing for the Christian Helpers of Brooklyn, who make friendly visits to the poor, caring for the sick ard distributing much needed garments to them. Not so long since it also sent away box of heavy clothing to one of the most distant points of Alaska. Mrs. Roosevelt helped in the prepara- ton of that box, and took the keenest enjoyment in rendering this service for others.
 Mrs. Roosevelt is always thinking of other people," said one of the sewing circle today. "She is constantly plan ming for those less fortunately situated than herself. When she goes away to Washington in the fall she tales work with her, and there is no more interest ed or skillful sewer in the society. ''-- Oyster Bay dispatch to New York Even ing Sun.

yesterdays Silver Belt, are branded as untrue by Con Crowley and his friends, who claim that at the time the petition for a postofiice was circulated on Pinto Creek, it was by many, if not generally, understood that the name of Crowley was to be designated, provided there was no other postoflice of that name in the territory.
 Another petition for naming the Pinto postofiice Crowley was circulated within the past few days, signed by 127 per sons residing in that vicinity, and for warded to the department by Thomas P. Kelly, and it is averred that the signers of this petition include about everybody on the creek except the em- ployees of the Calumet & Globe com pany and Mir. Lightfoot, who were not asked to sign it.
 Calumet may sound "more appropri- ate' and descriptive' to the c. & G. people, but it is cinch that Ari- zonans do not have to go to the Mich igan copper country for name syn onymous with copper, since Arizona al- ready has the Lake Michigan district skinned on the production of the red metal.
 As to other old settlers whose names, as Mir. Lightfoot suggests, might be se- lected to designate the Pinto Creek postoflice, none of them have lived con tinuously within the now famous pre- cinct of Pinto Creek as long as Mir. Crowley, whose residence at that com ing copper metropolis covers period of eleven years. Besides, Con Crowley has them all distanced as the "oldest of Globe district, as Con first spread his blankets here in Sep tember, 1876, and has been in the dis trict ever since
 "Good wine needs no bush, ' neither does Pinto Creek require an imported name to impress upon the investing pub lie that it is distinctively copper camp.

 The above leads us to suspect that there is a conspiracy between the rail read and Stafford to knock the Globe celebration, but the celebration will be a great success whether or not anyone comes up from the Valley There are erough people in Globe and the sur rounding camps to whoop her up in the good old way and there is close onto ST. 0G0 to do it with.

But the Stafford ties, with an emulation of true metro politan jealousy, got together, raised the enormous sum of $494.50, and are going to pull off an eagle-sereaming match, just to make us feel bad.

MEXICAN MINER
 KILLS AMERICAN
Foreman Who Was Found Dead Suf- fered Crushed Skull and Was Horri- bly, Mutilated by Candlestick
The Bisbee Miner says:


 Yesterday, accompanying the remains of their husband and father, foully murdered in an abandoned drift of the Veta mine last Thursday at Cananea, Mrs. Jack Craig and children passed through the city on their way to Lead vile, Colo, where the funeral services will be held. The Mexican suspected of the crime, whose name is said to be Pedro Morales, is reported to have been captured, the reward of $l,000 offered by the Greene-C Cananea company prov ing a great incentive 60 the officers.
 The report which first reached here was that Craig had been stabbed with knife while on his way home Un- dertaker McArthm of the Fletcher & Hennessy company, however, states that such is not the case
 Morales had been drinking heavily all through the morning and about noon Craig, finding him in drunken eondi- tion, discharged him on the spot, order ing him to the surface to draw his time. The man made two or three threatening remarks, it is stated, before leaving the place where he was working, ostensibly to go on top. From the chain of evi- utHCe WHICH HdS Deen pldceu dRdlHSI him, however, it is thought that he got no further than dark drift, where he waited for the boss, who would pass through on his return to the shaft.
 Shortly afterward the Mexican was seen on top hurrying away from the mine and over the hills. As he was drunk, no attention was paid to this at the time, it is said. Finally the eontin. ued absence of the boss from the top caused men to become alarmed, and fearing he had met with some accident in the shaft a search was begun through the various workings. As a result in dark drift the body of the boss was found. He had been hit over the back of the head with some heavy blunt in strument, presumably pick handle, and the skull was crushed like an egg shell, while in various places over the corpse wounds inflicted with a candlestick told of the fendish work of the murderer, who, afraid that his victim still lived after the terrible blow he had been dealt, took this method of silencing him.
