"Immeasurable are the rebuffs that
the helpers Of the poor, the seekers af-

In the State of Tamaulipas, in Mex.
leo, parrots of the much priced double
yellow head variety, famous as con-
versationists, are found in countless
flocks. Indeed the woods are literally
full of them and are vocal with their
harsh cry from sunrise to sunset. They
seem to have but n note. 1t is only
in confinement that they are imita-
tive. II this country they are worth
SO apiece. Parrots build their nests
in holes and hcllows of trees, and in
parts of Mexico they are so numerous
that every available cavity is occupied
by them in the nesting season. Never
theless the work of procuring their
young is extremely arduous, even for
the expert natives. Trees in the trop-
les are commonly festooned with many
climbing vines Of ~thicknesses varying
from a thread to the size of a ships
cable, and all his network of vegeta-
ton is usually infested by myriads Of
desperately fierce ants of large size,
which both bite and sting. Many an
unfortunate peon, it is said, has lost
his life while engaged in this pursuit,
because, tortured beyond endurance by
the ferocious insects, he was unable to
retain his grip.-Argonaut.

not hesitate to say that in my judg-

years with malnutrition, palpitation of

MAGNIFICENT NATURAL ARCH.

Ln1pOsInS Entrance to Cave TINT
RivnIs M~anInoth's Ii
Some seventeen miles south Of Wood
bury, Tenn, a magnificent natural arch,
some forty feet in height, proclaims the
mout of Espy's This W. Is a
miniature wonder Of the world. The
arch maintains it's great height for
some fifty feet pack into the cave. At a
distance Of about 100 feet from the
mouth there is a fork in the passage
way.
Down one fork one can go on foot for
about Il half mile, until stopped by i
pool of water. This water, which is
black, completely fills the passage. The
walls of the cave are bright with white
stone, but one sees a very different
view when looking at this pool Of
water.
Soundings have been made, but fer
a depth Of some 500 feet no bottom can
be found. Fish are in the water. The
passageway is thick with stalactites.
The other passage is where the real
beauty lies.
For about half a mile this passage is
one continuous cavern OF beauty. 10
the right is a room, the beauty of which
must rival even the caverns of Luray.
The ceiling of this room rises to y
height of forty feet. In the center of
he room is a Ia Bile whereat giants could
have seated themselves without incon-
venience. All around the room II can
see beauty which has heretofore been
unequaled this side Of the Mammoth
Cave. Beyond the door of this apart
ment the foot of white man never trod
along the passage. Either their hearts

Her shoes Said to BE m Index to
Her Character.
"If you want to know whether q
girl is slovenly or not, look at her
heels" said the wise woman to the
young man who was contemplating
matrimony. Her gown may be pref
~, her hat becoming, her neckWear
trim and neat and her gloves well fit
ting, but If her heels are run over look
cut for her. Her trimness in other
RESPECTS simply denotes that she is neat
systematically, that she will make an
effort to keep things tidied and in order
only wher she is urged to or because
she has some special ~provocation. But
by nature she Is slack. The man that
marries q girl with perpetually run
over heels will find her coming to the
breakfast table as o as the honey,
moon is over in a tumbled kimonO and
with her hair in curl papers, She
never will be a good housekeeper.
"On the other hand, I've. seen girls
who maybe did not nave such a trim
appearance, whose hair was apt to be
q little flying, but whose heels rested
firmly on the ground, and never did
l discover they were in the slovenly
class. Maybe they were not careful
enough Of outward appearances, but
they kept their buttons sewed on, rips
repaired, spots sponged off and their
rooms in immaculate order"

Phone Girls Go on Strike.

Telephone Office on Saturday because
their demand for an eight-hour day
was NOT granted. Trouble has been
brewing for some time, but it was
not expected that strike would be
called.
Scenes of disorder marked the
telephone operators strike Monday
night. when Superintendent Reyn-
Odds arrived from Spokane on the
train with six girls to take the places
OF the striking operators.
Nine strikers. supported by a large
crowd OF sympathizers, met the in
coming train and endeavored to per
suade the new girls from going to
work. After attempting to reason
with the Spokane girls, the strikers
vented their spleen on Reynolds and
his girls. The superintendent was
roughly handled by irate girls. who
were backed by crowd of men and
women that jeered him as the girls
iostled him and tore his hat from
his head. Reynolds hurried his girls

KILLS MESSENGER
AND RIFLES SAFE
a. ID. BAILEY, WELLS FARGO En-
PLOYE IS STRUCK DOWN BY
ASSASSIN AND ROBBER.
Tragedy Takes Place on the Santa
Of the Outlaw Is Found.

Newton, Kas, March 20.-A D.
Bailey, an express messenger of the
Wells-Fargo Company, was killed BY
an unknown person on Santa Fe train
No. lis. between Florence and New
ton, yesterday. The murder was
brutal. with robbery as the object.
Both safes, the local and the through
safes, were ransacked and at least
$1,000 in money and some jewelry
taken. The amount the robbers Sc
cured is not known
The dead body Of Messenger Bailey
was found when the train reached
Newton. It was stretched on the
floor of the car, the head beaten to
a pulp and lying in a pool Of blood.
The back of the skull was crushed
and the end of the car where it was
lying was spatteded with blood. The
blood spatters reached to the cell
ing.
There was no evidence Of any
struggle, the indications pointing TO
the commission of the murder while
the messenger was asleep, before he
could offer resistance. Bailey was
seen alive at Strong City. At Pea
body some one opened the car door
Just enough to throw out package
of waybills and then closed it quick
".
The custom Of the messenger has
been TO go to sleep after leaving
Florence and it is possible that he
did this.r< After being struck while
sleeping, and rendered unconscious.
his body rolled to the floor, and the
robber, after beating him on the
head, covered it with the dead mans
coat. One blow was struck at the
mans face with some sharp instru-
ment, apparently a Ratchet, which
broke the jaw bone. From the dead
mans pockets the keys were removed
and the safes ransacked. Then the
keys were put back into Bailey's
overcoat, the coat folded and put in
his grip, where it was found later.
