He can bear his burden day after day with less need of recreation. The young man can "sprint," hut he cannot "stay" like the man with brain grown iron and nerves steel by many years of training. Elderly men arc less temptable. They are of fixed moral habit. Appetite and passion are under control. For better or for worse they are a calculable quantity, with slight variations to be taken into account. Elderly men are more loyal as friends if they are friends. Their at tachment to a cause or a commercial house is less changeable. They have, moreover, given bonds for good beha vior in the persons of grown families whose respect is to them dearer than life. They know the difficulty of re pairing mistakes. Elderly men actually have experi ence. The older man best roads char acter. lie is the wisest to select agents. —•Washington Times. An Old Sapemtitton. Superstition connected with the sev enth child of a seventh child is com memorated by a tombstone in a village churchyard near Bridgewater, Somer set. This inscription runs: "Sacred to the memory of Doctress Anne Pouns borry, who departed this life Dec. 11, 1813, aged seventy-three years. Stand still and consider the wondrous works of God." Doctress was not merely an epithet, but a baptismal name, for she was a seventh daughter of u seventh daughter and was therefore credited with powers of healing. She practiced in herbs and charms. For king's evil this was her prescription: "Take the legs of a toad. Bake and grind them to powder with pestle and mortar. Place the powder in a bag around the neck of the sufferer."—London Chronicle. Antiquity of (llnna. So far as research has been able to determine glass was in use 2,000 years before the birth of Christ and was even then not iu its infancy by any manner of means. In the Slade collec tion at the British museum there is the head of a lion molded in glass, bearing the name of an Egyptian king of the eleventh dynasty. This is the oldest specimen of pure glass bearing any thing like a date now known to exist. The invention now known as "bleez ing," the mode of varnishing pottery with a thin film of glass, is believed to date back to the first Egyptian dynas ty. Proof of this is found in the pot tery beads, glass glazed, found in the tombs of the age above referred to. Weeplntr Treea. The literature of "weeping trees" is enormous, much of it being plainly mythical, but there is a large basis of fact upon which most of these mar velous stories rest. Many travelers nave described the famous "rain tree" of Padradoca, Isle of Ferro. John Cockburn in 1735 described a tree at Vera Pas, Central America, from which pure water continually dripped from every leaf and branch. CJripf mill Thrift. Thomas Bailey Aldrlch once received a pathetic letter in a feminine hand an nouncing the death of a little daughter and asking if he would not send in his own handwriting a verse or two from "Babie Bell" to assuage the grief of the household.

Richardson "The prisoners are out! They've broke jail!" The cry was picked up by a score of voices and carried down the long, nar row main street of Cimarron—to the gambling dens, where players dropped their cards and grabbed their guns; to the dancehall, where the music stop ped with a crash; to the office of the Windsor hotel, where traveling men suddenly lost interest in a lively yarn; to the ill lighted shops, where mer chants locked safes and tills and pre pared to Join in the man hunt. There was need of many deputy sheriffs In San Miguel county in those days. It was 0 o'clock when the alarm was sounded. It was midnight before truth and Action had been sifted and the women of Cimarron knew the worst. Every ahlebodied, dependable man In the mountain town had been sworn in either as a member of the sheriff's posse or of the patrol which guarded the town. On a cot In his office lay Heyriman, the county jailer. He was encircled by stern faced men. A notary public was taking his last statement, setting forth that Randall Wolfe, Jose Roday, Manual Sanchez and Filipe Montez had choked and gagged him while making their escape from the San Miguel county jail. Later, at the cor oner's Inquest, the attendant physician testified that had Heynman been in ordinary health the fracas with the desperadoes would not have proved fatal, but the poor fellow was a "lunger" who had come to Colorado for his health. The gag had caused a hemorrhage. The fugitives had been sentenced for six months or less on petty charges, and public opinion laid the exploit at the door of Wolfe, handsome, daredevil Randall Wolfe, who had dropped into Cimarron from no one knew where, with plenty of money and a fondness for shooting at lamps in store win dows. Soon after his arrival he hud married one of the most beautiful Mexican girls in the vicinity, and they had settled down to a somewhat bo hemian housekeeping in a picturesque cabin among the river willows. All this had happened mouths before Wolfe had shot the lamps in Rrown's drugstore, thereby starting a conflagra tion and landing in jail. And now Conchitu, she of the great wistful eyes and the lithe, graceful figure, had dis appeared from the cabin among the willows. People said that In her hour of disgrace she hud gone back to her own people, who lived across the state line. Two days, and three, slipped by, and one posse after another rode wearily into town until only Sheriff Muguire and a few picked men hung desperate ly on the trail of the outlaws. These, too, were becoming disheartened when in the steel gray of an early dawn they followed a wood hauler's trail to the Devil's caldron. A circular pit was this, its bottom reached only by rocky paths such us mountain goats or fugitives alone would tread. On one side the walls dropped sheerly full fifty feet, and at one point a clear mountain stream cut its way through solid rock. Muguire had ordered the horses staked a mile back in the thick timber, and as the posse drew close to the pit he motioned his men to halt. Then, dropping on his hands and knees, he crawled to the edge of the precipice and peered over. What lie saw sent a thrill of exultation along his nerves. Near the smoldering lire lay the three Mexicans, while on the rocky ledge, slightly above them, lay two other fig ures, one of whom he could easily identify, even in the dawn's uncertain light, as the stalwart Wolfe. The fifth figure he studied carefully, but it was hidden by wrappings of gaudy blan kets. Rut Muguire, recalling the sullen Mexican wood hauler they had passed far down the ravine the day before, knew that the outlaws had been pro vided with food and tidings from the outer world. Then, turning his gaze on the zigzag mountain trail ending within two feet of his hand, the sheriff smiled grimly. Ilis prisoners were neatly trapped. But, the smile died suddenly. The fifth figure, the one at Wolfe's side, stirred restlessly, the red and purple blanket was tossed aside, and a beauti fully carved arm was thrown above a mass of raven hair. It was C'onchita! Muguire drew back. To shoot men Jown in cold blood was one thing—lie had done it before—but she was a wo man, a woman who had done nothing hut love too well this man of a race not her own. The sheriff had seen the firearms scattered about the campflre. And if the outlaws fought the girl would he in the midst of it. He crept hack to his men. There was a whispered conference. Eight men carefully looked over their guns. Then, dropping on their stomachs, they slid noiselessly to the edge of the cal dron and surrounded it. The steel gray light had changed to rose color when Maguire's voice echoed sharply down the rocky walls of the pit. The fugi tives sprang to their feet. "Might as well come up and sur render, Wolfe. We've got you sur rounded." Wolfe threw hack his handsome head nnd gazed upward where the first beams of sunlight touched the dwarfed pinons. lie saw eight Bet faces and eight guns. He dropped his own weap on, with a bitter laugh, and stood with folded arms, staring straight at Ma QMMksQ ©feißafe© MOST LITTLE BABIES DIE, either from bowel troubles or from diseases which they contract because they are in a weak and feeble condition front bowel troubles.

When at last he spoke, the sheriff, even with the thirst of the man hunter upon liini, caught himself wondering how that voice would sound In legislative halls. "It's no use to surrender, Magulre. It means the gallows now. Conchita told us about Heynman's dying, and maybe you won't believe us, but we didn't mean to kill the fool. By heav en, I couldn't stand being cooped up there! Another day'd have set me mad. When he brought the supper, we Just toppled him over, for a lark, but it's turned out an annoying one. We've got to pay the price, I suppose, but Conchita" —his voice seemed almost to tremble as it floated up to Maguire— "she followed me here, and now—well, I reckon you'll give her a chance to get up there safe." Magulre nodded grimly. lie know what those words meant. Wolfe meant to die fighting. There would be no surrender. The men of the posse kept a sharp eye on the Mexicans, who now seemed too stunned even to pick up their lircarms. Maguire kept his gun trained on Wolfe as the latter stood a moment In earnest conversa tion with Conchita. He saw something white slipped into her hands and scent ed treachery, hut as she pushed the packet into the bosom of her gown he saw that it was merely a bundle of papers or letters. Without looking at his companions and with Mnguiro's gun still aimed at his heart, Wolfe led Conchlta to the narrow goat path. She took half a dozen steps, then paused, turned and stretched out her arms. Eight deputies imperiled their lives by closing their eyes. Conchita sprang up the path and without looking hack dashed into the undergrowth on the summit and dis appeared. A second later there floated up to Maguire Randall Wolfe's taunt ing laugh. lie swung round on the cringing Mexicans. '•Eight, you cowards!" he cried and aimed at Maguire. The fusillade was The next day a ghastly quiet hung over Cimarron. The coroner had rid den to the Devil's caldron, and four bullet riddled bodies lay in the town's small undertaking establishment. The armed guards still patrolled the town. The members of the sheriff's posse had been spirited away to Denver, Pueblo or Canon City. A dozen reporters from city dailies were on the scene. There was talk of a Mexican uprising. A newspaper man who had been talking with the postmaster suddenly struck off in the direction of the river and the cabin among the willows. lie was on the trail of a story, the true story of Randall Wolfe. Conchita met him at the door with eyes more wistfur than ever and a pathetic droop about her mouth. But that mouth took on a determined curve as the reporter talk ed. She shook her head. "But," he persisted, "dkl Wolfe never tell you anything about bis people in the east? He got money from them, didn't he? llis mother wrote to him?" Still 110 answer. The newspaper man tried another tack. "He's loft you nothing. I hear, and it isn't to be supposed that bis people will help you." Ift drew forth his purse. "Now, I'd be glad to help you out if you'll answer a few questions." The Mexican woman rose and threw open the door. "There Is nothing to tell—nothing." The newspaper man shrugged his shoulders and walked out into the sun light. lie knew the woman lied. She watched him through the yellowing willows. Then she closed her door and crossed to the fireplace. From her bosom she drew a packet of letters. Among them was the photograph of a woman with white hair. These she laid on the coals and watched tliera burn. Then she sprang to her feet and tore from the wall a picture of lV r dead husband. With hungry eyes she studied each crude line, then kissed the photograph passionately and, with a sob, laid that, too, 011 the greedy coals. "Ah." she sobbed as the fluuies licked and curled the blackened pasteboard, "mia cara, I have kept my word! It was Jill I could do, and they shall never know!" Then, with her hands clasped about her knees, she crouched weeping by the dying embers. Nebrnxkn "Bui* EntppN.' l A Nebraska judge was asked how It was that the citizens of his state were nicknamed "bug eaters." "The name is applied to us some times In the east," answered the judge frankly. "It originated many years ago in a peculiar way, incident to a speech. Back In 1574 a swarm of grass hoppers descended upon our fair state and despoiled everything. Crops were swept away before this army of in sects, and the people were left desti tute. An appeal went up for aid. and some of our eloquent Nebraskans Jour neyed east to plead our cause. One of these eloquent citizens in a flight of speech declared that the voracious grasshoppers had even eaten the tires off wagon wheels and were devouring the railroad tracks. 'Why, our people have nothing but grasshoppers and bugs,' was the climax of this orator's speech!" exclaimed the judge. "And now you have the history of the sobriquet of 'bug eaters,' " he con cluded.—Washington Post. Emjllnh Oaks.
