All druggists. Washington Wayside Random Observations of Interesting Events and Things. REVEILLES. THERE are some people who leap from bed with the dawn and presently are heard singing in their shower; and there are the rest of us, the great ma jority, with an infinite capacity for sleep and an Inexplicable attachment for a pillow. Lures have to be devised for them to begin their day. Alr.rm clocks suf fice sometimes, alarm clocks placed In tin pans awake the heavier sleepers, and there Is one Washington man who has to be awakened each morning by his wife, who has learned the quickest way to get him up is to put a cigarette in his mouth and light it. One couple here, married four years. 1 still depends on the bride's father to awaken them each morning with a ring on the telephone. And, you'll have to believe it, one early - morning - singer-in-the-shower. I who reaches his office each a.m. before J 7, has a list of friends whom he calls on the telephone at a specified hour each morning to awaken them in time j to get to work. His name is withheld, I he has too m?ny per ons to call now. . * * * * FISCAL NOTE.

THE guards lassoed the first man to bolt from line, threw him flat on his face and beat his ι back raw with their whips. ] Afterward they threw him inside the threshold, since he was not able to walk, and over that prone body the rest of the condemned stum· ! bled. Once inside, each man made for a bunk in a desperate scramble. These bunks rose in tiers of five deep, with narrow aisles between them. The swiftest or the strongest took the low est bunks, not because they were sim ply easier to reach, but because dur ing the night the foul stench of hu manity kept rising in the air. But many who lagged too far be hind in the general rush got no place whatever for the night. And most of | those who failed were the men who had been in the valley so long that the labor, the climate, the frightful food had worn them to a frail shell. They would die soon. What the friar could see made him drop to his knees. He was still praying when a bull toned voice bellowed through the room: "Who says that a friar is here? Who says that a big man. a giant, a priest or a friar is here with us?" The friar leaped from his prayer to ι his feet. "Mateo!" he cried. He heard a grunting answer and then the thumping of heavy footfalls. : Toward that sound he hurried in turn. ' And suddenly the tremendous grasp of Mateo Ru'oriz was on him. He put his huge a'ms around the bandit and crushed him with an embrace. It j I was like hugging· a huge rounded ! I barrel. "How have they brought you here? j The dog Estrada—was it he? Answer me, brother—Mateo—my friend " j "I came with El Keed to find you, I Mateo." "To find—me? Here? You came willingly? Willingly, do you say. Pa-cual?" ! "Ay, willingly." "And El Keed—he is here? Where is he?" "In tfie hands of Juan-Silva." "San Juan of Capistrano. forget all my prayers. Remember only this last one—let the hands of El Keed close on the windpipe of the devil Juan Silva!" Rubriz began to beat his breast | ' with his. great hands. "What have I done that God should j be so good to me?" he said. He re covered his voice and went on: "But I told you—I have always told you, Pas-1 cua!—that the saints had marked m'e out for a great thing. Otherwise, why ; should they have given me two such friends as you and El Keed?" Mateo cried out as though in pain. J "Now I am ready to die," he said. "It would be better to pray, brother," said the friar. "Pray for El Keed." ! "I shall pray." said Mateo kudiiz. J "And yet I have a better hope than ' prayer. For the three of us—what fools they were to let the three of us come into this one valley! We shall find things to do. Do you doubt that?" ! "I know that the mind of El Keed i is never quiet. It stirs even at night. 11 have heard him call out softly in his sleep. Sometimes of horses, some times of gurts, or of gambling, or the name of a gringo girl or Rosita!" "May a curse " began Rubriz. "Peace, brother!" commanded the friar with a certain austerity. "She repents. And it is she who keeps the good horses and waits for us outside ] the valley." Montana had been taken, blood dripping, naked, straight to the pres ence of terrible old Juan-Silva, and I the ancient man had sat up and ! looked at the Kid with his eyes, which were too young, saying: "It I is El Keed ! And now it shows that it is better to try a thing three times, so as to make perfectly sure. "And now it is time for us to treat our guest in another manner. Take him quickly. Emilio. You know where the rooms are where we give honor to a guest. Open the press to him and I let him And his clothes. Quickly? Quickly! So that he may change his mind about us!" They took the Kid off in haste, therefore, and the gray-headed cap I tain of the guard said, muttering: I "No man ever before was treated like this! Some one is growing too old!" There was everything that a man could wish, it seemed to the Kid. in the rooms to which he was taken. The ceilings were high. The air was heavenly cool, forced by fans through constantly showering water, the very sound of which ran like a blessing through the mind of Montana. • When he had dressed h'mself he . was cool to the point of real comfort and the pressure of hot blood was gradually receding In his brain. JuanrSllva sent for him. He went 1 out. A Mexican woman brought them food. She looked like an ape, with a ■ flat face stuck out at the end of a ι forward-leaning neck. She had a . hump behind her shoulders that In dicated strength rather than age and ' her arms were prodigiously long. Juan-Silva laid hold of her arm and . stopped her. "This is Maria,'* said Juan-Silva. 1 "For 10 years now she has been serv > ing me. And yet she Is not paid with • money." r Afterward, while they were eating, . the Kid said, "Doe· ahe love you to much, eenor?" ( Juan-Silva parted his lips from his long teeth and laughed. "Maria came in the same way 10 pears ago. She had found out that tier two sons had been sent here not many months before. But one of them was already dead, and the other she met crawling down the road. The chains had been taken from him. He was free!" Juan-Silva interrupted himself to laugh again. "And so she is still here—and she is only waiting She is paid by expectation." "'Waiting for what?" asked the Kid. "For my death!" said Juan-Silva. Montana learns, tomorrow, Juan Silva's secret. ittendants who deplored the feet the [uests would have to stand. "I should like to give you all seats." îe said, "but th' empty ones Is all ull." * * * * A LACRIMOSE TALE. EVERY working morning for four years, at least, one Washington man has wept as he carried on hie business. In that length of time, and for so long before even that he does not mention the number of years, tie has cried, copiously—literally, bucketfuls of salty tears. Is the man sad? Has some great sorrow cast a blight upon his life? Is it some vast bereavement that he will not divulge but keeps heroically to himself except for his outward weepihg? No, It is none of these. The man Is J. H. Heitmuller, and constant crying le part of hie stock In trade. It shows the Κ street market· ing public that one may believe In signs—his sign, at least. His sign reads: "Fresh Grated Horseradish!" * * * * FIERY CORRESPONDENCE. A SEDAN drew up In front of Ca thedral Mansions on Connecti cut avenue and the driver alighted. About an hour later he returned, j On getting back into the machine, however, he smelled a slight odor of I burning cloth. Sniffing, he traced It to the back seat. Sure enough, there was a large burned spot—probably caused by a cigarette flipped from some passing car. · Beside the burned spot was a note attached to the seat with a pin. It ! was brief and fully explanatory. "Your seat was on Are t# I put it out." » * * * • ETIQUETTE SIDELIGHT. i NATIONAL park service rule pro Al hiblts any person* from appear· lng in snapshot* with the statue of Lincoln at the Lincoln Memorial.
