There are commonplace things and
there are strange condolences that
turn the current of our lives. A hui
man career may be likened to a chip
cast into q riyulet. 1t goes with the
current, over stones, tumbling from
tiny cascades, till it is caught in an
eddy and stranded. Some slight dis
turbance starts it again, and after a
few setbacks It rejoins the channel.
Caught by a fallen branch, it waits till
released by a swelling of the waters.
And so 1t goes till it Is at last thrown
into the ocean.

the current of my career.
There was a pretty blush, a slight
resistance, the kiss, the blush and the
resistance making a charming COM
bination. Later In the barn danced
with my little girl, went with her at
midnight across the moonlit fields to
her home and kissed her again in the

porch.
There followed a courtship as tender,
as sweet, as fragrant as a young rose
plant, only there were no thorns. The
| thorns grew later. We became en-
gagged.
There was no opposition to our en-
gagement and no reason why we should
not marry, though we were too young
to marry at once. For two years life
was a garden spot. though we did not
know how happy we were because we
were inexperienced. Loving was like
breathing.

We two, my fiancee and myself, went

THE H~ERZEG0VNIANs.
Their Lot Now Much Better Than un-
der Mosiem Rule.

The Balkan province of Herzego-
VIVA. which has figured much in the
European dispatches recently. does not
embrace a large territory. Its length
is about 40 miles and its breadth
about fifty. 1t Is quite mountainous
and has a population of some 100000.
Many Of these are Serbs, and it is this
fact which has given rise to the trou-
BILE between Austria and Servia. The
province was conquered by the Turks
IN 1465. The disagreement Of the
people under Turkish rule caused an
Instruction in 1875. and this was in
part the cause Of war between Russia

us such epics as Casey at the Bat"

has scarcely been attained by any versi-

is enough doing in this direction to
afford encouragement, however. One

RuMoR SAYS NOBLE HAS
GONE TO SOUTH AFRICA

PHOENIX, Feb. 19.-Rumors that
John Noble had sold his property In
terests in Arizona for $4,000 and
that he had gone to South Africa to
begin his business efforts anew, were
afioet in Phoenix today.
When these rumors were called to
the attention of A. W. Galpin, who is
Mobiles business representative In
Phoenix, he stated that he did not
care to either affirm or deny them.
Barry Goldwater on recent trip
to New York saw and talked with No
BILE, who told him that after a stay
there he would return 10 Arizona
He did not state what he was doing in
New York.
On account OF the financial affairs
Of Noble in connection with the Noble
building, which has never been com
pleted, though part OF the building is
now occupied, these rumors have at
tracted much attention
The report that Noble has gone to
South Africa could not be traced to
any definite source, but seems to be
general. Galpin would not say wheth-
er or not Noble had sold his property
interests or any part of them in Ari-
iona.

ALBUQUERQUE, Feb. 10. - AS
nearly as We can be certain of any
thing, New Mexico is sure to be ad-
mitted to the union as separate state
at the next session o fcongress, which
will convene next December. There
has been a remarkable change Of sen
timent toward New Mexico and her
claims among members of congress
and in official circles. New Mexico
has more friends in congress tnan she
has ever had before Majorities in
both houses of congress are pledged
to support statehood bill at the short
session; Senator Beyeridge, of the
senate committee on territories, has
agreed to let the bill out Of committee,
and Speaker Cannon viii raise no op-
position to the consideration Of the
bill in the mousse. By agreeing to
withdraw our fight for statehood dur
ing the present session, l believe the
admission OF New Mexico next win
ter has been made absolutely sure.
This is the reassuring statement
made by Hon. Solomon Luna, nation
al committeeman from New Mexico,
who returned to Albuquerque yester-
day from Washington, where ne has
beea for the past four weeks with
Governor Curry and other New Mex
leans, working for statehood and 9th
or matters of importance to the terri
tory. Mr.. Luna's well known conser-
vatism IN discussion of public mat
tiers lends much added weight to his
present positive declaration that the
cHaacse for admission at the next ses-
sion are brighter than ever before,
and that a practical agreement to
pass an enabling act has been made
with the leaders in congress.
when we arrived in Washington.
said Mr.. Luna. 1--WE found that there
was very resolute opposition to the
consideration of any kind of a state
hood bill at this session. Governor
Curry had gone on prepared to make

FLAGSTAFF BtGS PARDON
OF PROF. LOWELL
Star Gazer Assured That
Business Men Appreciate
His Work There,

FLAGSTAFF, Feb. 19.-When some
members of the town council of Flag
staff instru-"ed the City Attorney
there to institute suit against the
famous Flagstaff astronomer, Prof.
Percival Lowell, for possession OF
certain lands surrounding the Flag
staff observatory site, which it was
claimed Prof Lowell had unlawfully
taken up. they evidently did not rep
resent the Flagstaff citizens as a
whole or majority.
This is evidenced by the joint action
just taken by the Board of Trade of
Flagstaff and the citizens. At u
mass meeting acid, for the purpose, "
was decided to write Mr. Lowell an
explanatory letter, and at the same
time take sharp fling at the mem
bers Of the town council The letter
IN full follows:
Peroival Lowell, Esq,
Boston, Mass.
Dear Sir:
At a meeting of the Board of Trade
and citizens of Flagstaff, it was the
unanimous sentiment of the meeting
that you be advised that the Board of
Trade, the business men and tax
payers as whole deplore the unwar-
ranted action of some members of the
town council in bringing suit through
the City Attorney for possession OF
lands purchased by you from the
town.
We are firmly convinced that the
attempted action will have no legal
standing whatever and was insti-
gated only as result of conditions
over which we had no control ana
which are likewise burdensome ann
derogatory to the town and its citi-
ems in other actions of like import
imposed upon them.
The best thought of the community,
its taxpayers and citizens, is one,
OF appreciation of your citizenship
with us, OF your unserish efforts ana
generous attitude on all matters OF
public benefit and of public pride in
your famous institution
We believe the town will come IN
to its own again in the near future
and matters OF public business will
be handled as they should be. In
the meantime, we trust you will bear
with us and not place any undue i'm
portance on the matter.
Very respectfully yours.

The Returned Maine Battle Flags.

The Returned Maine Battle Flags.

And we walk beneath them with care

Nor think of the hosts of the mighty
dead,
That have marched beneath them in
days gone by, .......-...
With a burning cheek and kindling
eye,
And have bathed their folds with their
young life's tide,
And dying, blessed them, and blessing,
died
Nothing but fags-yet methinks at
night,
They tell each ether tales Of fight!
And dim spectres come, and their thin
arms Irvine
Round each standard torn-as they
stand in line.
AS the word is given, they charge!

And the dim hall rings with the bat
ties storm;
And once again through the smoke
and strife,
Those colors Lead to nations life.
Nothing but fiags-yet they're bathed
with tears;
They tell of triumphs-of hopes-ot
fears;
OF mothers prayers-of boy away,
OF a serpent crushed-of the coming
day;
Silent, they speak--and the tear will
start,
AS we stand beneath them with trob-
bling heart,
And think of those who are ne'er for.

Their flags came home-why came

And gaze with awe at those types OF

Nothing but fiags-yet the though,
