A Qnestloa of Pride. ICopjTiBht, m, by Charles B. Lewis. Uiiple Jin Warner had been poorly all winter, and when spring enmo wc atStraw lierry hill saw that his days were numbered. He had al vays show n himself to be kind hearted ami oblijcinc, and evervbodv felt. sorry at the idea of his living his bones in that desolate spot. One day he sent for the three of us actinias trustees of theeamp. Ve knew t hat he wanted to communicate his last wis les and give directions as to his burial, and our hearts were sad as we as sembled in his shanty. The poor old man was evidently pnttint; in his last day, and JudKe Wat -.ins wiped tears from his eyes as he said: "Uncle J m, you have the sympathy of every man n camp, and we shall never for get you." "The bnvs all sympathize, do they:-" queried the old man. "They do." "What sort of a funeral are thev figferin on?" "As immense as w e kin make it. Every body here uill turn out, of course, and per haps we ll invite the fellers at Shiftless Bend to help whoop 'er up." "That will be nice. Got the t-rave lo cated?" : "No. We thought you mifht like to nick the spot." "I sorter think I w ill. How about the coffin?" "Waal, Uncle Jim, you know that we can't git h.. Id of a reg lar coffin out here, but we'll cio the liest we kin." "But I've got to hev a reg lar one," pro tested Uncle Jim. "I've bin thinkin it all over and made up my mind to a ree'lar coffin, a p irty good suit o' clothes and a sort o' doo -plate with my name on it." "But look here, I'ucle.Iim. how we goin to git a re'lar cofliu over here from Sacra mento?" "Dunno. but it's got to be done. I don't propose t lie buried in no wood box. 'Twouldn't lie right by my relashuns, you know, and I'm sartin 1 wouldn't feel a" bit Rttlome." "But consider the snrcumstances. Uncle Jim." pro ested the judge as he grew anx-iou-. "It's a trip of "leven days over and back." "Can't lleip it if it takes 30 days. "And 't lin't a bit likely we "kin find no lirfirplate over tliar neither."

"Hardly, Uncle Jim, though you know that our hearts ar breakin with sorrow, and that every critter" "Then I dou't die!" grow led the old man. "You fellers git out o' this and go 'long!" We got out and held a council and agreed to do all we could, but we had noth ing to do. The next day Uncle Jim was better, and inside of a week he was helping his partner on the claim. Why he didn't die we never could figure out, but he just didn't, and in t he fall, when he left us to go to Turk y Creek, he was too fat to feel comfortable. The subject of his demands was never mentioned but once. Then he turned on the man who threw it up to him and said: "That's why I'm goin down to Turkey Creek. When them fellersdown thar loves anybody and ar breakiu their hearts with sorrow, they not only git all the things he wants, but hev a reg'lar gravestone all ready a week ahead o' time!"" A PHILOSOPHER. He Knew the Farmers THE ARIZONA KICKER. How DiatiiicuiAhetl Fditnr Received a Uve (Governor. The other day, when it was rumored around town that the governor of New Mexico would stopiu this town fora couple of hours as he passed through on his way to Prescott, a score of our most eminent citi zens made a rush for TiiK Kh kKi: office to ascertain what we were goitm to do about it. They instinctively realized that as the editor ami proprietor of a great family news paper, to which is attached a grocery, meat market, harness shop, ioot and shoe store, feed storeandgunshop. and as mayc r of the town aud an honored mendier of the terri torial counul the duty of entertaining the distinguish 1 stranger would fall upon our shoulders. Kach citizen wa- a-kitii: him self if we were the critter to fiil the tapiu.d cover this community with a mantle i-f glory. They came by twos and threes. 'II. iy looked palefaced and worried. To t', ir great surprise and (.lad relief thev f.onni -s calm and smiling. We sat iib o :r f-t-i .1 the editorial table humming " A ' ; t t,e Ball" as placidly a if no coi.v.il-.;- 1 t lire was due that afn-rtioou. Wm-u ,-i;r fellow townsmen were assured thai cl,..d Trials r the Near the Village. Nearly every villa.cre has its philoso pher, ofttimes in humble guise, whose chief business is to observe the ways of the world and duly moralize there on. Such a rhilosopher held forth in the corner grocery the other even ing to a small crowd of listeners. "There are lots of f armers,"he be'jan, "who think they can turn everything they touch into gold, if they can only locate near some village where there's business going on. Well now let me tell you that on an average there never was a bigger mistake in the world. You look around the outskirts of any large village or city in the state and see if what I tell you isn't true. " oull find some good farmers liv ing close to the towns, but you'll fi nd a heap more of men that farm a little, keep shop a little, work out carpen tering or in the factory a little, and sit round a good deal and don't amount in the end to much of anything any way. I've known lots of 'cm of just that sort. If they had farms too far from town to loaf ih the stores and to catch up so many 'jobs' as they call 'cm, they'd attend str'ctly to business and run the farm to make a dollar out of it. But this 'edge of the village' L business spoils them." "Let's see, Uncle Sam," rejoined a long face listener, "you talk pretty well, but where is your farm located?" "Oh, in the 'edge of th.3 village,' of course. It has spoiled me as well as the rest of 'em, and that's what set me to preachin' about it." On ;eneral Sherman. I heard a rather good story on General Sherman the other day. It occurred away back in 1S4 while he was on the Pacific coast with the title of captain. For some reason or other his men took a violent dis like to hint, and after standing it as long as they thought they could they prepared a petition requesting him to resign. The pa per contained the signatures of all hut five of his company and was handed to him by a com mitt-- of three. When it was pre sciiled. CaptAin Sherman glanced over it and said: "ibis eve.y man si'm 1 this'-" "All but live." replied the spokesman "All lint five--" "Yes. sir."

There was no longer any fear that we wouldn't do the right thing iu the right place. His excellency arrived by stage at 2 o'clock Tuesday uftcrnoon. There was a crowd of 2,000 people in the streets to wel come, him. We stepped forward as the great man descended and extended the freedom of the town. Our little speech was only 30 seconds long. There were two rea sons for this. We knew the governor was weary, and we felt sure that if we held him in that crowd over a minute some of the lioys would liegin to ache to shoot at his stand up collar. His reply was neat and graceful, and if he had only worn a red shirt and dropped in a few cuss words the crowd would have carried him on their bboulders in triumph. We ate dinner w ith his excellency at his own request. Such of our fellow citizens as expected to see us eat with our knife, drink out of our saucer or lick our plate were doomed to disappointment. If we made any mistake, it was in picking up the leg of a jack rabbit and gnawing the meat off, but the governor did the same thing. After the banquet Dan Kiardon, our popular un dertaker, brought around the hack which always leads a funeral procession, and the distinguished visitor and ottrself drove about the town. We could not help but admire his candor. He thought it a poor location for a town and found nothing pic turesque or romantic. Indeed he was frank enough to say that if he was mayor of the town he'd put the streets in better shape or bust a lung. We silently accepted the reproof, realizing that he didn't know our crowd and hadn't lieen told that our road fund for a year amounted toonlyflU and an old revolver. We saved our private graveyard for the last sight, and we must, confess to our disappointment that it pro duced little or no effect on the governor. Nature not only made it a romantic spot, but we have planted 11 men there and spent upward of siK(to beautify it. We expected our visitor to get out of the carriage and stroll around the sacred spot with us, but, he merely glanced about and observed that editorial private graveyards were so numerous in New-Mexico that no one gave them any attention. He must have been thinking of mule and cattle ranches. Without the slightest disrespect to him we hereby offer a reward of $500 to any person who can locate one single pri vate graveyard in that, country. They don't have 'em and can't start 'em. We arc per sonally acquainted with 20 editors in .New Mexico and vi!livager 100 to $10 that not one of them catf put a bullet into a mule tied to a post 50 feet away. His excellency left shortly after 4 o'clock, expressing himself well pleased on the whole, lie was repeatedly called upon to speak, but w as wise enough to refuse. Any subject he could have touched upon would have riled somebody and resulted in him being called a liar. After his departure a committee of citizens called atTnE Kicker oflice and presented us with an assortment of thanks for the way we did it, and we took ad vautr.ge of t he occasion to somewhat increase our subscription list.
