THE FIRST skYscRAPER

Credit for the first skyscraper built in this country is generally conceded to Chicago It was built in the Hoop district" of that city in 1886, from plans by Holabird & Roche. The first example of lofty building in New York city was the structure at 30 Broadway, designed by Bradford Lee Gilbert ill 1888. A few years later both these wonders became insigni- ficant and practically forgotten be- cause they were so greatly outdone by succeeding skyscrapers But these were not the initial efforts, for a skyscraper was designed nearly three centuries ago. many generations be- fore the discovery of the steel cage system of this day
 Jacques Ferret, an architect of Chambery, Savoy, is the accredited author of plans for an eleven story building, 361 feet in height, which must have had twice the space be- tween floors, for today eleven stories are crowded within a height of 150 feet. Perret's building was planned to be 166 feet long and 140 feet wide, with supporting walls twelve feet thick at the base.
 While never executed, the project of Ferret in many ways was re- markable prophetic vision. Evident iy it was intended for dwelling pur- poses, for in describing the project he wrote, This great and excellent edi- fee can accommodate comfortably 800 people New York Post.

AN ANCIENT ROMANCE.

The book of Ruth is the greatest pastoral idyl in literature. It is founded, according to the Christian Herald, on loving kindness, the low ing kindness of the Moabites revealed to her family and the loving kindness of Boaz, the wealthy Israelite. to Ruth, his kinswoman. It also contains the germ of that great heartedness which is the center of the gospel of Chris tian love.
 It is book that opens with tears and famine and ends with the sound of wedding bells. The story turns upon the straightforwardness of Boaz, who showed kindness and manliness to Ruth, a member of a nation that was IsraePs foe, and in that kindness founded a new house, the house of Jesse and David, the royal line that begat greater than David.
 Boaz is immortal among Bible heroes for his kindness, his plain, everyday generosity, his sense of pro lection and care for the lonely, un. protected Moabitish girl, his dead kinsman's wife, who in her poverty gleaned in his harvest field after the reapers. Boaz gave orders to his reapers that they should allow her to glean even among the sheaves of barley and by his large heartedness gained a wife and, more than that, made a place for himself in that i'm mortal company which is renowned for natsht but for being kind

CANADIAN BRAVERY EXAMPLE.
 FEED.

OTTAWA, June 15.-Upward of G. week in hte desperate fighting in and around Sanctuary Wood according to a statement of the minister of mili tia, in presenting colors to a Canadian regiment recently
 The great majority, wounded" he said, already are clamoring to get back into the fray, but many of the gallant lads have gone down never to rise again. We deeply mourn their loss, but that loss affords an inspira- tion for tens of thousands more to take their places"
 Some details of the fighting came through yesterday General Hughes received a cable message from the front stating that Captain Nivin, the only officer left of the Princess Pa tricias, again distinguished himself Wounded on Friday, he was taken back and reated at a dressing station. He went to the front trenches on Sat urday and was again wounded, taken back nd dressed; was at the front again Sunday and was sent back for further treatment.
 Chaplain Wilkes, according to the message, carried a rife into the fight He used it as long as he could and then yielded bayonet until the en- counter became too close for either, when he went down using his fists Colonel Butler, commanding the Princess Pats, was killed. He has been a member of the Duke of Con naught's Canadian household.
 The regiment has been shot to pieces three times and now is back from the front waiting for men to fill the gaps that it may return to the fighting line.
 Thus far 334,209 Canadians have been enlisted for overseas service
 Lance Corporal Alexander Cay Tomory of Denver has been killed in action, according to an overseas cas- salty list given out here last night

financial survey OF New Mexico,
as shown by the table of con-

statement by President, H. J.
Hagerman, which indicates that
the Association is enteneing
upon a serious phase Of its work.

les Of instructive articles on the
theory of public finance, and a
number Of other articles of gen
eral interest to taxpayers and
the public generally.
In introducing the May NUM-
Der, President Hagerman makes
the following statement:
"One Of the main objects Of
the Taxpayers Association of
New Mexico as set forth in its
articles OF association, is to edu-
cate its members upon questions
OF administration and the ex-
penditure Of public funds. As
stated in the foreword Of our
first number, the association
exists for the purpose Of affol j.
ing those who pay for the gov

and an organ of expression. 1t
is further provided by our arti-
cles that the director shall super
wise all publicity issued and
used by the association.
"The associotion can furnish
no useful instruction without
first securing the facts. These
facts the director is collecting
and compiling. If the associa-
tion is to accomplish the pur-
pose for which it was organized
il the director is to do his duty
and earn his salary, the facts SO
collected must be published.

perfectly, neither trust nor distrust him.
While Gloria was at a little distance
Royce was questioning Trask in a low
tone, trying to persuade him to speak
the truth, warning him that he might
not have a long opportunity to unbosom
himself of his crime. But Trask' 8
mouth, distorted with suffering, was
also twisted with a sneer of hate. He
would not even answer Royce's ques-
tions.
Pierpont had drawn Gloria to one side.
and he said: well, now that you've got
your man, what are you going to do
with him.

Gloria.
Pierpont gave up the fight. He loath-
ed the prospect of a newspaper scan
dial, but if it had to come he must brace
himself TO endure it, He had done all
that he could legitimately do and more
than that to thwart the police. and now
the necessities of the law compelled him
to give the law the right of way or sur
fer the consequences. He resolved to
turn Trask over to Judge Freneau as a
representative of the law and let the
judge assume the future responsibility.
When the yacht reached the country
house at length, Pierpont sought for
Judge Freneau. He had left the house

hands, urging him to bring her father
back. 1t was not Royce, but, doubtless,
nature that brought back Trask to con-
seriousness. Royce received the credit
and the gratitude, however, when
Trask's eyes opened and his tortured
lips moved.
Nell and Gloria were overjoyed at the
miracle, but Royce was the more alarm
ed the more he studied Trasks body
with fingers searching everywhere and
finding everywhere the hints of broken
bones and internal decorations. He pre-
tended none the less to be confident,
for the sake of all three, Trask and
Nell and Gloria.
A bucket of water restored Jed
roughly to what wits he had. He
came up yelling, as if the fight
had not been interrupted. They had to
lie him up TO keep HIM from continuing
the war.
1t had taken this much time for the
tug boat to round upon it's course and
come alongside the barge. The crew
had watched the scrimmage with i'm
patient envy. Tney came aboard now
ready for carnage They were armed
with weapons of every sort, and with
zest for blood. The yacht crew gathered
itself to meet the onset of these re-en-
fOrcementS.
NOW came the opportunity OF GleTpOul
Stafford to use some Of the heaviest ar
tillery of battle-finance He was too
old and too little used to fisticuffs to at

put up the shield of his Docketbook.

army forward in a wedge, demanding

This stumped the captain. He could
not quite make out Pierpont's drift AS

to look into the depths or a wallet full

Pierpont, holding out two bills.

planned.

of me, sir" said the captain. AS soon as
he touched the bill he touched his hat,
called his crew back to the tug and
set forth once more on his twice inter
rupted cruise. Pierpont ordered Jed re-
leased to care for the barge. He asked
Nell to go with him, but she preferred
to stay with her father, at Gloria's invi-
tation.
Nell was sullen with Gloria, but
Gloria was neither surprised nor
resentful. She would have thought
les of Nell if she had been too easily
placated by her fathers prosecutors
Trask was no more responsive to Royce's
ministrations. He was bewildered with
pain and terrified by his captivity. He
was as little grateful as lion that has
teen trapped and bound.
To Royce he was doubly a mystery,
both as a patient and as criminal
II he were guilty of numbering Fireman.,
then his life belonged to the state, and
it was Royce's curious duty, as citi-

that the state might take it.

neau had been killed by some person
from some motive unknown to him. He
had told Gloria that her account of wit
Messing the murder was only delir-
ium. He had lost her confidence and
her respect, and they were precious to
him. He did not know that Gloria was
tormented by a dual emotion toward him,
one of suspicion and rancor, one of
gratitude and affection. Gloria was
helpless in the quarrel of her emotions.
She could neither love nor hate Royce
