MY PEARLS.
•*
I have a string ef pearls
Untarnished, perfect and fair—
Eight—but tha angels oame one day
And I placed one ln their core.
Beven are left me, priceless gems,
Perfect aa any you'll see.
And only our Heavenly Father knows
How precious they are to me.
Three are large ones, folly grown.
Then there's an odd one there.
It shines between with mischievous
gleam.
Then three "like eteps in a stair."

A DESPERADO.
A company of gentlemen sat in the
tffloe of the Hotel Palomares in Pomona
Ibe other evening waiting for a lato
train to Loa Angeles. Each one of tho
party knew every one else, cigars wero
freely pnssed around, and all weao en-
Joying a talk about early experiences on
the frontier, and especially in sonthern
California, before railroads wero built
In thia region. The best story of the
evening was told by Colonel John Wil
liamson, one of the most important
orange growers in southern California.
"Prom 1873 nntil 1878," ho said,
"I was engaged by a Chicago lumber
company to travel through the oountrj
from Denver to St. Louis to look np
openings for lumber yarda. It was my
business to visit now towns and settle
ments, and when I found men of capi
tal in thorn to indnoe them to go into
the lumber bnsiness and buy of tho Chi
cago ooncern. At tbat time Ogalalla,
on the TTnion Pacific, railroad, was fa
mous throughout the country aa the
tonghest place in the west. Then Dodge
City, Kan., came into prominence'for
its oowboy episodes and the rough,
tough and desperate character of a large
portion of ita residents. I passed a night
in Dodge City in October, 1878, and I
assure yon tbat I came quickly to the
conclusion that life in any other town
would bo tame and without excitement
in comparison with the pleasures that
place could afford.
"On one aide of the railroad track
stood a big bamliko building called the
Americo-Mexican hotel, and on the oth
er a row of 30 or 80 one story frame
houses, almost every one of which was
a barroom, with a gambling house at
tached. Over tho doors hung such signs
as 'Cowboys' Rotreat,' 'The Divan' and
'The Frontiersman's Delight.' Behind
the town, on top of tho hill, was the city
graveyard. An immense crosa stood at
the top of the hill and served as a land
mark for travelers for miles and milea
across tho barren prairies. That gravo
yard was the pride of every man who
lived in Dodge City. The inhabitants
watched it grow and pointed with pleas
ure to the fact that there was hardly a
man taking his final rest there who had
not come to his death by violence.
"It was toward afternoon when I
halted my horse iv front of the Ameri
co-Mexioan hotol after a 40 mile ride.
Heavily armed men stood about iv
groups. The looks thrown at mo were
far from reassuring, but I pretended not
to see them and hastened into the ho
tel. Hardly had I taken my 6eat in the
(lining room whon fonr men, evidently
forming a delegation, approached me.
They demanded to know what brought
mo to Dodge City in a way which loft
me no alternative bnt to answer. My
answers seemed satisfactory, and one of
tbem informed me tho reason of their
curiosity. They had some idea tbrtt I
was a deputy sheriff and frankly told
me that if I had been I should have
been escorted out of town, as no gov
ernment officers wero wanted about
Dodge City that night. They further
informed me tbat there was to be one
of tho prettiest lynching bees in town
that night that had over taken place.
"Three men had come to Dodge City
10 week* before and had taken the town
by storm. Thoy had made their head
quarters At a tavern almost opposite the
hotel ana had levied a tax on every one
who entered. Anybody who objected to
paying or standing treat was beaten,
and when resistance was shown pistols
wero used. Ten men had received death
wonnrls from these three men, and the
town had determined to set an example
to all such characters by hanging the
three without ceremony. It was not
easy, however, to accomplish this, as
the men were intrenched in the barroom
and refused to come out or allow any
one to enter. It had been determined to
dislodge them that night in spite of all
resistance, and I was invited to take
part in the affair. The men were named
Hank Martin, Jack Willis and Wat
Simmons and were desperate outlaws,
with largo sums upon their heads. ,
"Just at dark tho citizens of Dodge
City prepared for battle. The attacking
parties were divided into two forces.
One approached tho point of attack
from the rear, while the larger number
marched up to the front. All the citi
zens wore handkerchiefs over their faces.
I was in the main body of attackers, or
rnther behind it. We were brought to a
sudden halt by a rifle shot from ono of
tho windows of the besieged house, and
one of our leaders fell. Various means
were tried to dislodge the three men,
but to no purpose. Evory time the
slightest advance was made their rifles
rang out, and come ono on our side drop
ped. At last a small man slipped up in
the shadow of the adjacent building
and threw, a lighted can of kerosene
under the building. Soon it began to
burn. At last it was enveloped in
fiames, and the three men were obliged
to rush for their lives. They were half
blinded by the heat and smoke of the
burning building, so they were quickly
captured.
' 'Then all the oitizens of Dodge City,
not excepting the women and children,
formed in line and marched down to
the cattle pens, where an old tree stood
that had served several times as a gal
lows. A rope had been brought along,
and it waa quickly thrown over a
branch, and everything was ready for
the hanging. It was at first intended to
dispose of all three at the same time,
but there waa not enough rope, so it
was decided to hang one at a time. Jack
Willis was the first to be strung up.
His end was hastened by a dozen bul
lets, whioh were fired into the body
While it waa still writhing. Wat Sim
mons was then disposed of,
' 'Next came the turn of Hank Martin,
and all held their breath wben tho
boldest desperado known on the plains
in those days was brought out. Just aa
SQWorfnl fallow was led undo*
the tree be mado a aiejn that ho wanted
to aay something. The gag was removed
from Martin's mouth, and ho said:
" 'If you will tako this rope from
found my neck and slightly loosen these
bonds, I will tell yon men something
that will interest you all.'
"Thore seemed no danger, with so
many on guard, so his request was com
plied with. When his fetters were
loosened, ho rose, stretohed himself and
began his speech:
" 'Yon are a set of villains,' he yell
ed, 'and you can all go to hell I'
"He knocked down the two men
nearest to him and made a dash for the
sagebrush on the open prairie. All the
horses were left outside the barroom
when the desperadoes were captured. A
few men dashed into the sago after
Martin, which made it impossible for
the men under tho tree to use their guns,
j lout thoy hit somo of the pursuers. After
an hour's useless chase the hunt was
! given np for the night
"At daylight the next morning a
ranchman rode into Dodge City and
electrified the town by saying ho had
seen Martin near Fort Leary, 16 miles
below. Ho said he bad just finished his
breakfast when a hatless man, whom
ho recognized as Martin, oame in and
demanded shelter. The ranchman sus
pected something was wrong from the
man's manner and at once started for
; Dodgo City and gave the alarm. Thirty
men immediately saddled their horses
and started in pursuit of tho man they
had avowed to hang. As thoy approach
ed tho hut a man appeared in tho door
with a Winchester rifle in his hand
Without a word he opened fire on the
advancing parry. Two men dropped
from their saddles, and aa the rest of
the party put spurs to thoir horses and
dashed toward the hut Martin, who had
done tho shooting, rushed down the hill
and plunged into the Fox river. There
had been heavy rains, and the river was
a torrent, which made it seem impossi
ble that a man couid reach tho other
side alive. All tho horsemen drew up
along tho bank and waited in readiness
to shoot Martin should be by any chance
get across. They waited half an hour,
and as there was no sight of him they
returned to Dodge City. That afternoon
the other two desperadoes were buried
in what is known as 'Murderers' row,'
and beside tho graves was placed a
board, 'To the memory of Hank Martin,
drowned in the Fox river while escaping
capture.'
"Two years after leaving Dodge City
I chanced to bo in a little Texas town
that I don't want to mention here. A
man passed mo on the street one day
whose face was strikingly familiar. I
turned to my companion and asked who
it was.
" 'That,' said he, 'is Henry Martin,
one of our most respected citizens.'
"Suddenly tho scone of the lynching
at Dcdge City came back to me, and I
knew that the last time I had seen that
man ho was standing under a tree with
a rope around his neck. I told my friend
the story, and he evidently doubted my
sanity, if not my veracity. He told me
that Martin came to tho town early in
1879, when it was first started. He in
vested money in town lots and made a
fortune. He wss a promoter of schools
and churches aud was talked of for the
next mayor. That night I was at my
hotel when a tall man, with a slouched
hat, walked in. He looked round and
then oame straight to me.
" 'Aro you the man,' he said, 'who
bas been telling a yarn about Hank
Martin being lynched?'
"I acknowlodgod that I was.
" 'Well,' he replied, 'Henry told me
to tell yon that he would shoot you on
sight if you were in town tomorrow.'
"Two hours later I was taking a nigbt
rido across tho prairies.''—Kansas City

THE ELECTION RETURNS.
They Malta the Busiest Night of the Year
111 a Newspaper Office.
There is one night in every year in
every great newspaper office when work
is done that is tho least understood of
all that goes on in tho making of a daily
paper, one night when the highest state
of fever attends the excitement aud
strain of tho most intense work that
falls to the lot of any men, except sol
diers in war. That iB election night.
That is the night when a few men sit
town at 6 o'clock before virgin sheets
of paper, with the knowledge that be
fore 3 o'clock the next morning they
must cover those sheets with the elec
tion returns of a nation, digesting
mountains of figures and apprising the
publio of the results in the most con
densed forms, weeks in advance of the
official announcements, as sparks might
be counted while they fly from the
shapeless iron on a blacksmith's anvil.
And these calculations must stand the
test of comparison with those whioh the
rival newspapers, working without col
laboration, as eager competitors, will
publish at the same moment.
The eleotion figures come in driblets
and atoms and must be put together as
tbe Florentines make their mosaics.
Some of it, we shall see, is plucked
from the very air—as a magician seems
to collect coins in a borrowed hat—be
gotten of reasoning, but put down be
side the gennine returns with equal con
fidence and almost accuracy.
Ah, but tbat is a work to try cool
heads and strong nerves. I am quite cer
tain no other men in the world include
such a night of tension and excitement,
periodically, as a fixed part of a work
aday existence. No other men, regularly
once a year, feel themselves so truly in
the focus of an intense publio interest,
manifesting itself in so many ways.—

Diamonds In Ihe Meteors.
Professor Berthelot has pointed out
that in the writings of Avicenna there
la mention of a metal lio aerolite whioh
fell in Djorjan, in central Asia, in the
eleventh century which could neither
be broken nor worked up into arms or
tools. One of the blocks of native iron
found at Ovijak, in Greenland, in 1870,
is so hard that it can neither be scratch
ed nor cut, and Professor Nordenokjold
suggests that this may be due to the
presence of black diamonds disseminated
through the iron.

Editor Herald:—l notice an editor
ial In thia morning's Herald giving tba
earnings of the railroads in New Zeal
and, which are) owned and operated by
h) government, ahowing a large profit
to the government, and from the fact of
tbe government tbere making money
out of their roada, yon advocate that (ao
I infer) private individuals eoold build
and operate a little road of 200 milea
Irom bare to San Joaquin at a profit to
themselves and tbia city.
If auoh ia tha case, will yon explain to
me why your natioual government can
not own and operate all oi the lailroada
in the United Statea, at a profit to the
national government, which ia tbo
American people?
I bave lived many yeara in Aackland,
New Zealand, and know lull well that
the government almost lmpoveriabed
tbe oolony by building railroada and
other government improvements, which
in thia country are private but gigantic
monopolise, for the advancement and
settling np of the colony. I also know
that in the laat tbree yeara New Zealand
baa been recovering herself, and ia today
tbe moat prosperous colony in Austra
lasia, which everyone livieg there thinks
ia due to ber railroad system and other
public necessities, which are owned and
operated there by the government, and
whioh, in tbia oonntry, are owned by a
lew individuals in the shape of corpora
tions.
Would you kindly Inform me why the
rT«:._.j t't.i.. . . t- -
uwiva aovatuujvui, cauuub
close the mortgage on a certain trana
continetal railroad, own the road itaelf,
operate it itself for the benefit of iraelf,
whioh ia the American people, via, by
the unemployed aa well aa the monopo
list?
I have only been in yonr oonntry two
years, bat long enough to know that
there ia a tranacontinental railroad
which your government bnilt. or rather
advanced money, etc, enough to build
it and another road half way across tbe
continent. The mortgage on the rail
road ia coming due shortly. Kindly ex
plain to me why you (the United Statea
national government) oannot forecloae
aaid mortgage, own and operate tbe
road by and for tbe government, which
ia by and for tbe people, if tbey can
own and operate their reada in New
Zealand at a profit, aa you claim they do
in tbis morning's issue of your paper,
and aa I know they do, aa well aa in
Victoria and New South Walea?
If tbe New Zealand government can
build and operate ber railroada at a
profit, and yon advocate from tbat that
a private corporation can build and op
erate to their own and thia city's finan
cial advantage a 200-mile road, I cannot
ccc why yonr national government can
not cloaa tbia mortgage (whicb they will
never receive anything from, anyhow),
own and operate the road and
reap the benefit of tha profits
accruing from tbe tame. Of oourse,
I being from the benighted oolony of
New Zealand (aa tbe average citizen of
tbe United Statea looka upon it) mat
not know all of the internal workinga of
your national government, bnt if it is
not from "standing in" with tbe pro
feasional politician and tbe monopolist,
I cannot ace why your form of govern
msnt could not o. ii and operate your
railroada and several otber public ne
cessities, whiob are controlled and ope
rated by corporations, to greater advan
tage than in Australia and several of tbe
countries of Europe.
Hoping you will publish and anawer

Of Interest to the Philanthropic.
Editor Herald :—Coald you not find
space in yonr valuable paper for a plea
on behalf of the struggling students of
the city ol Los Angeles? It ia not gen
erally known that a goodly number of
onr moat prominent men of today, I
may aay tbat9o per cent of tbem have
had to work their way through school,
and although tbe publio achool system
haa placed a good education within reach
of all who have parents or guardians
to provide food or clothing for them,
how are tbe young men and women
who have to rely npon their own efforts
to gain a living to take advantage of
thie proviaion for tbeir mental welfare?
Theae are the people wbo need aid and
Irom whose ranks have sprung onr moat
noble men—namely, Linuoln, Garfield,
and other bright stars in onr national
constellation, Tbeae men wonld never
have amonnted to what tbev did had
they not received aid in their student
daya, and tbe men who belped
them bave done a gloriona thing in
that they gave to thia nation aome of
tbe beat preaidents abe ever bad in tbe
ezecntive chair. Who oan tell but tbat
among the struggling students ol Los
Angeles tbere may be a future presi
dent? I have a propoaition to make
through tha columns ol your paper to
the people ol Loa Angeles, and it ia
thia, via., that aome church or ladiea'
aid aociety take tbia in hand and start
a bureau where yonng people known
to be honest and deserving could
find situations that would en
able - tbem to earn tbeir board
and lodging outside of aobool
hours. I bave eeen more lood thrown
away in a day by tbe aervanta oi rich
people than would keep aome hungry
students a week. Now, if tbere waa a
bureau ol information, aucb aa I have
suggested, they conld send tbeir names
and addresses there and lor an boar or
two's work a student conld earn hia
meals. Theae people would have the
aatiafaotion ol doing good at no more
expense to tbem and the additional sat
is/action of knowing that nothing is
wanted, I quote a passage in
the current number of the Review

DAWSON'S NARROW ESCAPE.
He Couldn't Be Expelled From a No Work
Clnb For Obvious Reasons,
Bailey Dawson was in danger of be
ing expelled from tho Society of Chris
tian Bepoee. The object of the society,
as its namo indicates, is to discourage
endeavor of any character, and its mem
bers, who comprise such well known
old residents as Colonel A. M. Babcock,
A. N. Kellogg, founder of the newspa
per publishing concern; Frank Parmc
lee of the bus line, and others, are men
Who think they have done their work
in life and now only ask for rest. They
meet at the Grand Pacific hotel and do
not even talk much, preferring to sit in
the easy chairs in the rotunda and look
at eaoh other.
But last week Colonel Babcock brought
a serious charge against Bailoy. He
said he had gono to work; what is more,
he had tbe evidence to prove it
Things looked really badly for Bai
ley. The work was no harder than that
involved in drawing tho pay attached
to a political office, but it was work,
and ho could not deny it. So he took
refuge in technicalities. Mr. Kellogg
was trying the case, and to him Bailey
mado this plea:
"If it pleases the court," he said,
"the members of this society must not
do any work of any kind?"
"They must not," replied Colonel
Babcock sternly.
"They should not indulge in any kind
of effort?"
"Certainly not," again interjected
the colonel.
"They cannot consistently take action
of any description?"
"They assuredly cannot"
"Then," said Bailey triumphantly,
"I would like to know how they are
going to expel a member; that means
action." And President Kellogg sus
tained him, holding that it would bo
impossible constitutionally to oven take
a vote on the charges. —Chicago Trib

MONOCLES IN EUROPE.
Their Use Believed to Have Originated In
the British Army.
In every capital of Europe the mono
cle is common enough. It attracts no
attention on the street In a row of mon
at the theater a considerable proportion
are suro to have it. Perhaps half the
officers in the German army wear mono
cles. They are to bo seen in abundance
at any meeting of the French academy.
Even socialist deputies in France are
not ashamed to go among their constit
uents wearing them. A session of tho
English house of commons glitters with
solitary eyeglasses. Tho single eyeglass
is said to havo originated among the
officers of the British army.
About tho beginning of the century
an order was issued that army officers
should not wear eyeglasses or specta
cles. It was supposed that they gave tho
wearers an unmilitary appearance. The
order caused severe inconvenience to
many short sighted officers, and one of
them, belonging to a crack regiment,
invented tho single eyeglass. He
claimed that, being an eyoglass, its use
was no contravention of the order which
prohibited spectacles and eyeglasses. It
soon became very popular in the army
and was afterward adopted. On account
probably of this origin the single eye
glass is-v£ry generally worn in Europe
by army officers.
It is by some thought to give an as
pect of determination and ferocity to
the wearer, whereas eyeglasses lend an
air of feeblenesa—New York World

That night as we walked back to tho
White Honse through the grounds be
tween the war department buildings
and tbe house I fancied that I saw in
the misty moonlight a man dodging be
hind ono of tho trees. My heart for a
moment stood still, but as we passed in
safety I came to the conclusion that the
dodging figure was a creature of the
imagination. Nevertheless as I parted
from the president at the door of the
White Honse I could not help saying
tbat I thought his going to and fro in
the darkness of tbe night, as it was
usually his custom, often alone and un
attended, was dangerous recklessness.
That night, in deference to his wife's
anxious appeal, ho had provided him
self with a thick oaken stick. Ho laugh
ed as he showod me this slight weapon
and said, but with some seriousness: "I
long ago made np my mind that if any
body wants to kill me he will do it. If
I woro a shirt of mail and kopt myself
surrounded by a bodyguard, it would
be all the same. There are a thousand
ways of getting at a man if it is de
sired tbat he should he killed. Besides
in this case it seems to mo the man who
would come after me would be just as
objectionable to my enemies—if I have
any."—Noah Brooks in Century.
Lady Kosebcry's Necklace.
Some years ago an old Frenchwoman
died in a poor part of Dublin, and her
little effects were put up for auction.
Among other odds and ends was a neck

ever, a shrowd pair of Jows thought
thero might ho "money in it" and de
cided on purchasing, clubbing together
£5 for the purpose.
On taking it to awell known,jeweler
he promptly offered £1,600, which sum
they refused, and sold tho necklace of

TRYING A BIG TELESCOPE.
Preliminary Test or the Fortj Inch Lenses
For the Xcrlies Observatory.
In Cambridge, on Sunday evening
there wa3 an experimental tnst of the
great 40 inch teloscopo now being made
for tho T7uiver?ity of Chicago by Pro
fessor G. E. Hale, tho astronomer, un
der who.-o directorship tho new Yerkcs
observatory of tho University of Chi
oago will enter upon it 3 career; a friend
of his, a rising young physicist last
connected with tho Massachusetts in
stitute of technology; Mr. Clark and his
nssistants. The great lenses, tho largest
tbat tho world has ever seen, each of
them equal in diameter very nearly to
an ordinary buggy wheel, weighing
with their mountings more than 1,200
pounds, wero maintained iv their posi
tion high iv air by a groat steel tube,
03 foet in length, and seeming in the
dimness of tho night almost intermina
ble. The ponderous tube is poised mid
way upon a great shaft, which permits
free motion in every direction, and this
again is perched upen a massive pier of
masonry capable of upholding in safety
tbo tons of weight which it is called
npon to bear.
Mounting tho stepladder whicb serv
ed as a temporary observing chair, Pro
fessor Halo placed his critical eye at
tho tnbo, and then in deliberate succes
sion applied tho different tests known
to astrouomors. To tho uneducated eyo
the glass on this preliminary test was
truly at perfection, but the trained eyes
of the experts caught points at times
whereby tlio delicacy of tho instrument
might bo increased. Then the planet
Mars canio within range of the instru
ment.
Tho first view of this object by Pro
fessor Halo brought forth exclamations
of delight, for this telescope by far ex
ceeded in light collecting ability any
instrument which he had previously
turned upon the planet. Mars showed
itself as a great reddish yellow disk,
whose clean cut edges attested tho ex
cellence of tho instrument. Its bright
ness with 40 inches of aperture was al
most sufficient to blind the eye, and its
great disk was figured with the dark
and light markings which define its to
pography. For an hour or moro the plan
et was kept in view, delighting every
ono of tho assembled group with the
splendor of the sight. Then began a
search for the satellites. These are faint
stars, visible at their best only with
good apertures, and so clo3o to the
planot as to be hardly beyond the glare
of light which it diffuses. Tho outer
one, Deimos, was easily caught, but
for somo time Phobos, its companion,
could not bo discerned. It was nt last
seen by Mr. Clark almost against the
body of its principal, and for nearly
half an hour it was followed by the dif
ferent members of tho company.
The lenses, excellent as they have
proved to be, will again be placed in
the shop, and with the knowledge gain
ed of their minor inaccuracies of figure
they will again undergo local treatment
until they reach that high standard
which has placed the Clark glasses al
ways in tho vr,»a*a point of interesting
astronomical discovery.—Boston Tran-

COTTOI.KNE.
/ g Setlt
Cottolene—the new shortening—the)
only pure and healthful and perfectly
digestible frying and shortening mate
rial in the market—is now to be had at
all first-clas9 grocers throughout tho
United States and Canada.
In using Cottolene for shortening,
it is of the greatest importance to usa
only about one-half or two-third 3 as
much ea would, be used of lard. Thia
is essential to success in the cookiug,
as well as an important feature for
one's pocket book.
I 1 Like it
Cottolene, like all othergood things,
has found several imitators, all of very
inferior quality, aud sure to cause dis
satisfaction. To be sure of getting tho
genuine Cottolene, tho best way to
buy it is in the tin pails bearing tho
name and Trade-Mark.
