He was Walter Grove, ot Monto Vista, CoL, who was In town wfcrMnjr up some Irrigation schemes for eastern capital to be invested down In. Mexico. "You very often hear it said that the revengcfulness and treachery of the lower class of Mexicans is overrated," said Qrove, "but to one who has lived In that country and studied tho neonle carefully thcro are very few tales that , iu uu wm ui Liicm too remanrauie lor belief. I recollect particularly one caso of a young fellow who Is working with mo down In old Mexico now who came very near passing in his checks through not appreciating tho kind of people ho was dealing with. 'In tho state of Chihuahua, on tho westorn edge of Maplmi desert, wo had put in a big dam for a storage reser voir to irrigate the mesaland lying above the level of the Eio Conchos valley. 'It wtia right, at the entrance of a biff box canyon running up to tho bar ren hills that run along the e4go of the desert, Tho only things that crrow there are plnon trees and jack rabbits, with a small sprinkling' of chalmlsa and grease weed. But there are' peri odic rains, when the water comes down through those bare canyons in a wall ten feet high, and enough water .goes to waste in twenty-four hours to Irri gate a whole county for a season. "We got in our dams all riffht and about twenty miles of "main ditch, and everytnxng went very well, considering tho fact that we were working a now venture In a country where it usually takes an Innovation a couple of centu ries to settle down and feel at homo. "I put this young fellow, Nick lien- nessy, in charge of the dam. lie had his office of a couple of rooms there, witn a -Mexican to cook for him and to help around and about AU he had to do was to ride the line of the ditch and look after the state of things at the dam which he had helped to bulH, There was a little telegraph line from tuo cilice down to the land company s homo ranch, about ten miles below the dam, the nearest settlement of any sort, and Nick used to take signal serr- ice observations to help pass away the time. Hut, as I said, he didn't know tho people. In the first place, ho trot himself disliked for remonstrating with the Mexicans for loading two hundred and fifty pound of stuff or thereabouts on their poor little burros. They haven t any humane societies in that country. Then he got into unpleasant relations with the sheep herders, all of whom arc embryo murderers by nature, by chipping Into a fight and helping a couple of lonely cattlemen tho herders were trying to bushwhack up in the hills one evening. That was all right. of course, for the cow-punchers hap pened to be Americans, but Kick winged a couple of the sheep men, and they naturally hod it in for htm after ward. Finally ho did the business for himself by flirting with the alcade'a daughter over in the adlolnlnt? plaza. 3he was'the only marriageable girl in tbe county, and he couldn't have found better way to get loco In his coffee, or to secure some other of the delicate at tentions in order In such a cose. "The dam was a big masonry one. built pretty much after the II oru a a model, with scouring sluices at the bot tom and a lateral passageway through the center, with valve doors at each sluice gate to shut when the dam Is full.lwkile- the passage that ran Into tho length of the dam opened up to the top through a man hole at each end- one of these right by the door of tbe of fice and the other on the abutment across the river. "Well, by the time Nick had been down there three months and got these three separate fights on his hands, his paid-up life insurance policy would have been a good speculation. He did not appreciate that, of course, for the Mexicans were polite, knowing they would soon have their innings. There was always more or less of them that hod nothing to do save hang ing around the dam, chinning with tlennessy's man. Their time came one evening when there was a big thunder Rtarmomlng up In tho mountains. It was on toward the end of summer, when nearly all of tho bed of the dam woe dry except a little trickle of water turned off Into the' main ditch, and NicU was In the habit of taking a book and a blanket In the afternoon and hT wan crowinc tnemw ne th water came down, thoy shouted to warn him. IvnD fintsrrlit Kit rtrm.1 n1 1 J'"''1 ' j.'hW bf.v.'mi their h.-lp, the gates In iff IW of "18m knowing i3LT t'lcra '' n'v would gncvp, ' .iCTISfsM.Re wnr, a gonrl yonntr man, though lie was a hoivtio, but It wbb the Tv-iii nn, xi. ana pornnps tnsy mlpht re cover the body for his friends when the ntcr went down Of course thoio would lie a reward in that. "Then they returned to the whisky and (he cigarettes. Just about this time it had got as dark as pitch except for tho lamp the Mexioans hod Inside the office, and Nick crawled very quiet ly out of the hole and let the lid down again. All of his guns were inside the house, but he slipped around to the tool house and got half a Bttck of dynamite, rammed a cap Into the end of It and coupled it up to the lever box with a oouple of long wires. lie laid it out be hind the office, where It wouldn't do any damage. Then he touched his face np with a little chalk and vermilion out of the paint supplies till ho made a first-rate blood-stained corpse of him self and Slipped aronnd to the front door of the office. The Mexicans wero playing mofcte. "lie gave a long-drawn blood-curdling groan to attract their attention and then pulled the lryver nnd let tho dynamite go behind tho house. There la 'no telling just what the Mexicans thought, but probably It wos that Nick had come back, with the help of his elder namesake, to fly away with them all. The way they went out of the win dows, taking the glass with them, was a caution. "Nick never attempted to take any legal action over tho affair, but he con tinued to hold down the Job at the dam for a oouplo of years after that, and the Mexicans never did get It settled to their own satisfaction ob to whether Nick was really Nick nennessy or an advance agent of tho devil come to keep an oyo on them for fear they would repent and get away from him eventually."

These fact about UH deollno of arithmetic m Bn eduoaWr were (fath ered from the principal of one of the Detroit public schools by a writer for tho Fro Pres.. WtraHle soys applies only to the Deftialt mhools, though It would seem that tho failure of what was ten years ago regarded as the most Important grammar school study might not bo confined to the olty limits of tbe place named. In the lat ter part of tho '70s, and . well along In tho '80s, he says, the punll who was quickest and surest In arithme tic was also the quickest and surest to gain the esteem and influence of the teacher. lie might be an Ignoramous in geography, an undecipherable penman, slow to perceive the principle of grammar, and a miserable speller, but If he grasped tho point and pith of a catch problem In decimals or In fractions, his future (promotion to a higher class) was assured. But a ohange, gradual and sure, has been going on In the cur riculum of the common school. The arithmetical despot has taken a seat in the roar, while the young fellow who seeks after real Information In the form of history of lands, peoples and government, correct BDellln? and speech now sits on a front bench. Tbe human mind Is unsettled In Its youth ful stage. It requires training, and the school exists only for this purpose. Arithmetic was once suDDOscd to be the best form of mlnd-tralnlng. It brought Into full play tho powers of reason, and was placqj first In Impor tance. But experience proved that while, the reason was to a certain ex tent exercised the memory' was neg lected. Again, tho longest time and hardest work wero devoted to arithme tic and the other studies were disre garded. With all of these concessions the arithmetic lesson was noi more thonthalf learned.
