 Volunteers to come to Nogales and report the situation were re- quested and Gus Ashford, the Pull man porter, responded. They took a hand car and made their way to the line, arriving here about 5 o'clock in the evening. The switch engine was sent out at once, re- turning with the two cars and the passengers about 6:20 All were very happy in returning to place of safety, although the passengers stated that they had been given the utmost courtesy by Campa and his men. The rebel general, who speaks both French and English fluently, conversed with several passengers, among them French man, with whom he talked in his own language, and assured them all that he would permit no rob bery or violence toward anyone not in arms against him. He made quite an argument in defence of the course pursued by the Red Flaggers, and showed himself a we'll educated, wei read gentleman. All of his enforced guests are en- thusiastic in his praises. All that he permitted his men to take were the fruit and valuab bles in the ex- press car. the fruit of the train butcher, and what money the latter had. No one beside was molested. In the express car was a lot of fruit. That was taken and eaten by the rebel soldiers. In one box of pears were found several 30-30 cartridges which were being snug gled in to the consignee.
 Mir. Emery l.. Chalfant was the express messenger on the train, and he thought to save the money in his cars, by concealing it. But the man in charge of the job of footing the express cars was an old hand at the express business very evidently, for he called for the waybills, and checked them up with with the air of one used to the work. Very quickly he discovered that two money packages were missing, and he demanded them They were delivered without any barley. One contained $500, gold the other eighteen pesos Mexican money.
 After the cars of the train and bridges, on which they were stood had been set a6re the engineer anC fireman were taken off from the locomotive and that was wrecked in the bridge below that station which was fired at the beginning of the proceedings.

The Useful Scissors

A pair of scissors for kitchen use only will be found very con venient for many uses. 1 always use them in trimming fins from fresh fish, for trimming the rind from the bacon, but the finest use l have found is in preparing pineapple for sugaring or pre- serving. l first slice the pineapple in slices. Then with the scissors 1 can quickly run around the edge of the slice, remol ing the rind, then 1t is an easy matter to snip out the eyes with one or two snlps ofthe scissors I prefer this method to any patent article tor removing the eyes.-National Magazine.

Stock Market

Kansas City Stock Yards. June r, week, when they were forced to add 30 to 50 cents to cattle values, buyers threatened at the end of the week to break the market fifty cents this week Killers are being criticised for the high cost of meat, and would be glad to cheapen it. But the demand holds up we'll, as labor all over the country is pretty generally employed, and the call for meat is insistent, despite the high price. Small killers are scurrying about the country in search of cheap beef, and there is enough of them to keep the big killers lodging. It would be possible for packers to carry out a threat to break prices half dollar, but would be like a man staying under water, he could not stay there very long. Receipts at the five leading mar kets last week were one third less than during the same week last year, con- dition that might easily excuse the ad- vance recorded. Various markets re- ported big run of cattle to-day, with prospects favoring lower markets, but the run here was modest, 5000 head, and in the native division everything sold strong and active, without a sig. of the break threatened. A run of IS0 cars of quarantines served as a reason for concessions from sellers there, running from week ts 10 lower, with the close of the market the best. Top natives sold at $925 to-day, Colorados at $900, Texas quarantines at $8. 10, grass quarantines at $500 to $6 25. Hogs were received to the number of 5000 heads here, light for Monday, but lower markets elsewhere caused a de- cliue of weak to five cents here, top $7 45, same as top in Chicago to-day, bulk $71 to $7, 40 Sheep and lam bs sold steady to-day, best spring lambs $S.75, five loads of Arizona whethers $500, native ewes worth $425 These prices are 25 cents above week ago, except on lambs. The run is I1,000 to- day, containing a good share of low grade Texas and Arizona stuff.

The Mammoth CataIog

There may be poets who can sing of almost any kind of thing and whoop 1t up for budding Spring; There may be orators who yell and all their parties glories tell and argne to fare-ye-well.; There may be authors who can write and make the black resemble white and life vision of delight; But when it comes to dreaming dreams and boosting money-making schemes until philantrophy it seems
 Take off your hat to that sly dog Who writes the mammoth catalog!" We used to think the circus bills (that filled us full of jumps and thrills and such excitement to the gills, That talked about the this or that, the celebrated woman fat, the clowns, the educated cat,
 headed hornicus, the hairless hippo potamuS,
 About the glittering parade that put the Caesers in the shade) the highest form of bunk displayed
 But one thing puts them on the hog The big, mail order catalog. You'll notice ev'rything therein is good as gold and cheapas sin, the readers ready cash to win.
 They're ''splendid," "high-grade, 7 great" and grand" by ''experts made" or artists planned,'' .'the best and biggest ip the land''; The simplest thing is '.rich" and "rare' and ev'ry blooming thing is there from doors to artificial hair; The cheapest substitute is "fine," the stuff is all ''of best design,'' and ''solC for $7.So"
 For adiectives that will befog." Consult the mammoth catalog.'' 'Tis said the circus poster can declare its golden caravan the greatest sigh, vouchsafed to man:
 Tls said a fisherman can take a min now from tiny lake and from the same whale can make; 'Tis said a candidate can stand before crowd with waving hand prove t was he that saved tue land; 'Tis said that Ananias' name is known to everlasting fame-and yet he never knew the game As dOes the latAr c1var dOO Who writes the mammoth catalog'

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY By A. w. MACY. THREE REGICIDES IN AMER
 ICA.
By A. w. MACY.

When Charles |. of England was tried flor high crimes and misdemeanors," sixty-seven men sat as judges. Of these, fifty eight signed the death warrant. After Charles II. became king, the House of Commons ordered that the regicides be brought to trial. Twenty-four of them were dead, but they were tried just the same, and condemned. Of those living, twenty-nine were tried and condemned to death, of whom ten were executed. Six teen escaped and went into ex- ile. Of these, three came to America and ended their days here. General William Goffe and his father-in-Iaw, General Edward WhalIey, lay in hiding at New Haven for three years. Then they went to HadIey, Mas sachusetts, and probably died there. Colonel John DixweIl, another regicide, came to New Haven in 1865, and lived there till his death, in 1889. Time and again the crown officers searched for these men, but were never able to find them, owing to the vigilance of their friends. For many years her init living near Nsrrasansett was believed to be one of the escaped reqicides, but it was
 ever proven.

Delicious Brown Cookies

Two cups granulated sugar, two cups New Orleans molasses, one cup shorteDing-either but ter or lard, or half of each if pre- ferred. One half teaspoonful ot allspice, one teaspoontul of gin ger, cinnamon and nutmeg, or mace be used, If desired, instead of nutmeg; two eggs and a pinch of salt, if lard Is used instead ot butter. Mix these ingredients thoroughly, then to d large cup tul of hot water add two table spoontuls of good cider vinegar and into this mix one heaping teaspoonful sodo. Add this to other ingredients and mix well. Use enough flour to make an or dinary cookie dough that can be rolled out on a board easily. Use small cookie cutter and bake in d quick oven. These cookies are equal to and taste better than the "boughten" ones which the children are so fond of. They will keep a long time and i'm prove with age if placed in an airtight can Or jar where they cannot lose their AavOr.- National Magazine.

GOOD ROADS SUPPORT

If any citizen of this communi- ty cannot think of a good req son for supporting a movement for good roads he will find 1t in the subjoined list. The State of Ohio during 1911 enacted a law revolutionizing methods of road construction and repair in that state. In furtherance ofthe good roads work the Ohlo Good Roads Fedratlon has started a campaign to secure constitu- tional amendment permitting the issuing of bondsfor state aid to road construction, As a part of it's campaign the Federation issued a bulletin giving, the fol lowing reasons for supporting the subject:
 If you are a farmer, because your farm will increase in value, you can raise more profitable crops, your cost of hauling will be lower you can mar ket your products when prices are best, your children can get to school, your family can attend church, your phy- sican will be in closer touch with you, your boys and girls will stay on the farm, you will have better mail service, more social life, and happier conditions all around.
 If you are a merchant, because good roads enlarge your trading radius, and make it possible for purchasers to reach you ever yday in the year, and thereby increase your sales.
 If you represent chamber of com merce or board of trade, because the public roads are commercial feeders to the cities, and every improvement of to the cities through increased agricul- tural production and greater stimul us to all industries.
 If you are high official, because you are striving for better methods of roads construction and maintenance, and more efficient road administration.
 If you are railroad man. because improved roads mean greater produc. tion, consequently more traffic, pre- vent freight congestion, bring more in dustries, more raods, more tourists.
 If you are an automobile user, be. cause you can get the benefit of your machinery every day in the year, your repair bills will be lower, longer and better tours will be possible at all sea. sons of the year.
 If you are dealer in farm products and implements, because you can re ceive the products and deliver the i'm plements at all times.
 If you are an automobile manufac' turer, because every mile of imp owed roads mean greater demand for both pleasure and commercial cars, in creases wealth, and consequently the power to purchase.
 If you are publisher or editor, be- cause improved roads make wider cir. culation possible, increase advertising by stimulating commercial enterprises and because road improvement is the most important economic question oi the age.
 If you are manfacturer of road ma chinery or road materials, because road improvement means more busi ness.
 If you are the proprietor of hotel because improved roads means more tourists and more commercial travel New England, with it's system of good roads, gets $6O 100000 year from tur ists alone
 If you are banker, because good roads will increase agriculture, com merce, and manufacture, depositors deposits, and dividends.
 If you are progressive citizen, be, cause you cannot progress so long as your state and nation remain in the

From off the hilltop you may see
 The dragon stretching low, And mark how many folk there be
 That to its clutches go; And times you hear its rumbling voice When hunger grips its tongue. Or hear it murmur and rejoice
 When blindly come the young.

USE CARE WITH FERTILIZERS
Excellent Method Given for Utilizing Two Familiar Farm Products
 Apply Separately.

Both wood ashes and hen manure are farm products, and one supplies what the other lacks. The ashes con tain potash, phosphoric acid and lime, while the hen manure is strong in nitrogen. It is the worst practice, however, to mix the two together be- fore using. The lime in the ashes will act to set the ammonia in the hen manure free If this is done before the mixture is put in the soil the am- monia will be lost.
 If, on the other hand, the hen ma nure Is worked into the ground sey- eral inches deep, and then the wood ashes spread and raked or narrowed In there will be no loss. The lime will still act to set the ammonia free, but, being in the soil, it will be safely held there for the crops. Thus the way to use hen manure and ashes is to apply them separately and work both into the soil.

Life a Century Ago.

The man who lived a hundred years ago could not make journey on a steam railway.
 He could not send or receive a tele- gram.
 He had never dreamed of using a telephone, and would have laughed at the idea of talking with anyone hun dreds of miles away.
 He could not light his house or store by electricity, and he never even imag- ined that it would be possible to ride in an electric car.
 He could not call in stenographer and dictate a letter, and he could not use a typewriter in his correspondence. He had never listened to the phono- graph, and he had never seen a kinet- oscope turn out prize fight or horse race.
 He had never seen a gang-plow, a moving machine or self-binding har- vester.
 He had never seen an iron bridge or
 
 steel frame skyscraper
 He could not ride bicycle, and he did not have to dodge street cars or automobiles.
 He never struck match, or rode in an elevator.
 He never bought sewing machine for his wife, and he never saw his mother or sister use one.
 He never saw or expected to see an iron or steel ship; he knew nothing whatever about breech-loading guns, magazine rifles, or revolvers.
 He never paid admission to a base ball game.
 The bulls or bears he ever saw or heard of went on four legs and avoided Wall street. He knew little or nothing about life insurance. Altogether, he was woefully behind the times, but al though he certainly knew less than the man of to day, it is possible that he was quite as happy. Picked up.

A dairy farm of dozen COWS can maintain flock of 15 or 20 sheep almost without expense. The real value of a sheep cannot be 1 determined, particularly as breed CT, until it is one year of age.
 It is common sense that 8 mature SOW will produce larger and more per feet pigs than very young one.

 Do not attempt to raise fall pigs without having first prepared per. feet system of housing for the winter.
 If eve keeps her lamb in fine fat condition up to the time of weaning, be sure she is a good mother, and keep her.
 Free range for hogs does not mean that they should be allowed to run in the highways and through the neigh borg fences.
 Some people claim that hog Is g scavenger by nature, but he certainly thrives better on clean feed and de- cent surroundings.
 Remember that colts which are highly fed and growing fast need daily exercise to keep their limbs and joints tn proper condition.
 Do not change the work horses from grain to grass too suddenly. In fact horses on heavy work every day should have very little grass.
