THE POOR REPORTER.
Hll tlfa Nnt the Round of Tleasura Some
People Imagine.
In the busy every-day lifoof the news
paper reporter there are many things
which, to the uninitiated, appear invit
ing, and as many others which are re'
pulslve to the liner feelings of a man.
Constant contact with these instances
harden the man whose duty it is to wade
through snow and slush and chronicle
the events of the day. He goes about
his work In a methodical way, that often
leads those interested In the work the
reporter is inquiring about to think that
he Is both careless and Indifferent in
most cases this is not true. With a
keen scent which is creatod by experi
ence, he sees in some small thing just
what the publlo wants to know about
and the novice, who perhaps has, in the
ordinary course of conversation, given
the reporter "the tip," wonders, when
he sees the artlole In print wby in the
name of common sense he hasn't seen
the importance of that very thing long
before? To aome the reporter's life is
on continuous round of pleasure, lie

eerts, parties and banquets. In the
oourt room and at the lecture be Is given
a prominent aeat where he can hear and
tea everything that Is going on. By
soma he Is envied; by his fellows he is
often pitied. The theater, the ball or
the concert has no attraction for him
when he has a sick wife or child at home,
His paper Is short-handed or perhaps
there Is no one else whom the city ed
itor can send to do the work, and no
matter what hi frame of mind, the pa
per must oome out on the morrow and
article from his pen must appear. In
th crowded ball-room he finds the heat
oppressive, and the' kind attentions of
the hostess, who Is over-anxious that
ber affair shall appear as a "brilliant so
cial" in the next issue of his paper, out
of place, and b long to escape the
elaborate banquet with its many kinds
of wines, to make his usual midnight
lunch on a cup ef coffee and a sandwich
at his favorite chop-house. In the court
room or at the lecture he must follow
very thing closely, sifting out the im.
portent from the unimportant and faith
fully report the proceedings in a way
that will Interest the readers of his pa.
per. He must work on an average of
from twelve to fourteen hours each day
the year round, and spend what remains
of the twenty-four in getting ready for
his next day's work. If, after h has

, THRILLING ADVENTURE.
The Remarkabla Story Told By a Party ol
- Kxpliirers In New Mexico.
A party who have been exploring the
crater or lava beds about twenty miles
southwest of this olty, says an Albu
querque correspondent of the San Fran
cisco Chronlole, have returned and
vouch for the truthfulness of the story
related by J. A. Beatin and R. W.
Loudon.
These two gentlemen stated that on
tholr way to the Malpals they met a
Mexican who volunteered for a few dol
lars to go and show them what he knew
about the crater. As a general thing
the Mexicans are superstitious and shun
the vicinity of the lava beds, but this
man agreed to go. He piloted the Alhu
querqueans to a oave on the highest
point through cracks In the floor ot
which a warm vapor ascended. Viewing
the surroundings for a few seconds the
men were startled by a low, rumbling
sound, like distant thunder, and the
lava beneath their feet trembled.
The Mexican fled Immediately to the
open air, but before the gentlemen
could realize It a portion of the bottom
of the cave fell and they with It intc
Intense darkness. Neither was injured,
but the ground upon which they fell
seemed to sway to and fro. Fortunately
one ot the party had a candle and some
matches, and after Innumerable at
tempts to light It the candle was made
to burn.
When light waa obtained a lake ol
water, black as pitch, lay at their foet
while the opposite shore appeared to be
moving from right to left It seemed
that they bad landed on a floating island
or a huge mass of lava, which has proba
bly been eddying around In this strange
whirlpool for centuries. The Mexican
soon returned to the mouth of the cave,
and, lowering lariats, by the aid of tfieii
horses, pulled the Imprisoned explorers
out of their bondage and to the surface
once more.

EVOLUTION OF GALLOWS.
Bow the ReaU'Mea of the HTntenU
ntil-y Were Kxecnteit
Evidently tho strong arm of a tree
wrved as the primitive gallows, and
luch was in use at a very early period
In man's history. In the book of Esther
we roud that Hainan was hanged on the
tree that hail beon prepared for Wor
local. In more recent times, in ancient
ballads and accounts of the gallowi,
references aro mado to the "fatal tree,"
the "gallows troo," the "triple tree,"
"Tyburn troo," eto. A tree was not,
howovor, always found conveniently
placed to convert it into a gallows, and
thus tho introduction of the Blmple con
Itruction, consisting of two upright
posts and a transverse beam, the prin
jlplo of which bus not been materially
Altered from its first introduction.
The gallows at times differed in
height which was increased In accord
nco with tho hcinousness of thecrima
of the culprit. Those elevated erections
were made use of at tho executions of
the regicides in tho seventeenth cent
ury, and tliuslt was that long ladder
were required in carrying out the lul
sxtremities of the law. When ladJcri
were used tho executioner mounted one,
and the culprit the other. The rope
having been adjusted to the cross-beam,
the executioner would descend and re
move his ladder, leaving the condemned
wrotch on the other, engaged in his last
appeals for morcy. Those prayers were
at times exceedingly prolonged, alter
finishing which the miserable wretch
was expected to throw himself ofl llm
ladder, and thus to some extent becoma
his own executioner.
Courage, however, would often fail 11
tho last moment and his prayers
would he continued for a long time.
When it was evident that the culprit
was praying against tirno, the eiiviu
tioner would stealthily reach tho ladder
an which ho stood and overthrow it, and
the body would, consequently, then be
swinging in tho throbs and agonies of
leatb. At ono period it was customary
to carry out the execution ot a criminal
as near as possible to the spot where the
jrime for which he suffered was com
mitted. All the Year Bound.
