that waa holding a cutuh-as catch-can

before I suspected harm a lariat

was brought to earth with a jar that

"The telegratib line was in course
of cotiKtruction, the poles being up,

ward one of these poles with its cross
bar the Mexicans dragged me over the
stony street, while a crowd quickly
gathered and began to pelt me with
pebbles. I was rapidly choking to
death aud realized that If I expected
to coutinno to send iu fat expense ac
counts to my house I had best begin
to got a hustle established in busi
ness. 1 managed to fish out my jack-
knife and cut the lariat before it
pulled my head off, and as I got on
my feet I pulled my revolver and be
gan to shoot In 10 seconds I had
the street to myself, but I reahzed
that the treacherous natives weuld

Mexican flreman was loungiug out
of the window. I bounced into the
cab and pulled, open the throttle.
"The Mexican raised his voice in
protest, but I covered, him with my
empty revolver and ordered him to
fire up.' It was 54 miles to Nogalee,
on the Arizona line, and 1 covered it
hi an hour and 10 minutes. Onoe

In these days of business women,
as well as of business men, it is be
coming evident that a readjustment
of certain social and economio ques

The husband was ill not long ago.
and his wife was his devoted and un

his convalescence be felt that he
would like to testify to his gratitude

returned to the same places, and this
baa always been the case when ex
periments have been made. The
swallow has been and still continues
the object of many superstitions,
which, unlike most cases, have been
favorable to the birds. Farmers in
many places think that If the barn
swallows are killed their cows will '
suffer in consequence and give bloody
milk, and thus they have been pro
tocted when other birds equally their
friend have been shot without mercy.

In Germany when a girl is born
her parents make her a member of a
marriage association. The premium
the father keeps up until the girl is
old enough to "contribute, if neces
sary, this premium out of her earn
ings. When she marries or comes of
age, she is entitled to draw the entire
amount of the premiums, with Inter
eat and any dividends that may have .
accrued. In England and Ireland
the daughter's dowry is not a pre-'
vailing oustom. In the middle class,
however, not infrequently the father
insures his life for the benefit of his
daughters severally. This sum they
may receive at his death, or by agree
ment when they come of age. ,
This form of insurance, it seems, is
an endowment for girls that will ap
