No Accounting For Jurist.
Many verdicts of a strange, curloug
and humorous nature find birth not in
frequently in coroner's juries and jur
ies in justice's courts.
Uncommonly intelligent are the cor
oner's juries in Mississippi. Twelve
men in Warren county, in that state,
returned a verdict several years ago
which read: "The deceased died by
the will of God or some other disease
unknown to the jury."
Another verdict, equally as solemn,
reads: "We are of A Pinion that the
Decest met with her death from Vio
lent Infirmation of the Arm, producest
from Unoan Cauz."
An old story, oft repeated, is that
an English jury in a criminal case
once brought in the following. "Guilty,
with some little doubt as to whether
he is the man."
Another is told of a Welsh jury,
which reads: "We find the man who
stole the mare not guilty." Docket.

Brown and Green were discussing
dogs, and Brown declared that any

savage dog by sitting down and star

"Yes," agreed Green, I once had
occasion to try it. The dog was com
ing at me as fast as he could, and all
that I could do was to sit down and
look him right in the eye."
"I am glad to hear you say that,"
was the rejoinder of Brown. "It is an
actual confirmation of what science
contends."
"True," answered Green, "but 1

"Yes, I have."

You Can Get Rid of
That Itching Rash
There Is Immediate relief for skins
itching, burning and disfigured by ec
zema, ringworm, or similar torment
ing skin-trouble, in a warm bath with
Resinol Soap and a simple application
of Resinol Ointment. The soothing,
healing Resinol medication sinks right
into the skin, stops itching instantly,
and soon clears away all trace of erup-
tion, even in severe and stubborn
cases where other treatments have
had no effect. After that, the regular
use of Resinol Soap is usually enough
to keep the skin clear and healthy.
You need never hesitate to use Resi-
nol. It is a doctor's prescription that
has been used by other physicians for
years in the treatment of all sorts of
skin affections. It contains absolutely
nothing that could injure the tenderest
skin. Every druggist sells Resinol
Ointment and Resinol Soap. (Advt.)

MONG all the historic spots in
the Southwest none is quite so
thrilling and entrancing as that
along the old Santa Fe trail.
Among those towering granite hills,
buried in the silence of the Rockies,
are to be found the ruins of Spanish
palaces spacious and stately in their
day. Here lie the bones of daring
scouts like Kit Carson. Here lingering
tribes cling to pueblos and till the fer
tile valleys In the most primitive
fashion. Here live the cliff-dwellers
a remnant still wandering through
rough-hewn granite halls deserted by
their fathers in the long ago.
Pages might be filled with the
stories of the pioneers and frontiers
men of the miehtv Southwest. No
more picturesque character ever trav
ersed this wilderness than Augustlnl
anl the Hermit of Old Baldy.
John Mary Augustinianl was a her
mit because of pious inclination. A
nobleman by birth the product of
Italian aristocracy he was born of
the nobility in Sizzarlo, Lombardy,
Italy, in 1801. Under the impulse of
religious zeal, he turned his back upon
all tho wealth and luxury of his Ital
ian home, only to become a wanderer
in strange and distant lands. Of this
there Is a legend, common in some
fashion to the beginning of every re
former's life. One day he was strolling
in the garden of the estate. Suddenly
he saw an apparition the finger of the
Vlrein pointing toward regions far
away. He must therefore lead a soli
tary life in life far from his native
home. No cave-dweller in the Orient
ever more certainly followed the path
of destiny.
After three years of earnest medita
tion, and at the age of twenty, with
only staff in hand, he set out on foot to
Rome. Seven long years he dwelt m
the caves of Italy, and for five more
years he wandered on foot all over Eu
rope. About this time Ms tnougnt
turned toward a new continent, and he
landed on the shores of Venezuela.
Here, still afoot, he traversed the Bra
zilian, Chilean and Argentine coun
tries. He then sought out his abode
near the dangerous Orizaba volcano in
Old Mexico. In all these wanderings
he became famous as a doctor and a
priest among the wildest Indian tribes.
Banished to Cuba.
While doing his priestly work
around the city of Orizaba, he was ar
rested by the. civil authorities. A
charge was trumped up against him
and conviction followed. He was ban
ished to the Island of Cuba. From
these shores he set sail for New York.
He reached St. Louis In the opening of
the sixties. These were the opening
days when the intrepid pioneer blazed
out the Santa Fe trail. Augustinianl
began to dream of priesthood among
the Indians in the distant West
He walked to Kansas City and on to
Westport. By invitation of Gonzales,
a wagon-train king of the historic trail,
he found his way to Las Vegas, N. M,
On reaching Las Vegas, he found a
cave-home In Kearney's Gap, west of
town. The people thought him super
human, but their coming broke the
auletude he so much longed for. With
only his bag of meal, his books and hi
staff, he began his long journey toward
the Owl mountains. There Is a well-
worn path on the very summit of. Old
Baldy about which there gathers a le
gend of the hermit priest From
breast to breast the story nas passed,
and to this day they tay this It the
path of the pious patriarch at he
walked to and fro in hit devout medi
tations. Amidst the snowt of thlt Im
mense altitude Augustinlana lived In
pious solitude until the last tragic hour
of his life In tho summer of 1867.
About the base'of this famous peak
lay the trading station of the Santa Fe
trail. Old Baldy overlooked the vast
outstretching leagues of the Baublen
Maxwell land grant, equal to three
states the size of Rhode Island. In the
very shadow of these heights, plied In
such wondrous beauty, stood the Max
well place, where frontiersmen like
Kit Carson, Dick Wootton, Don Jesus
Abreau, Colonel St. Vrain and ex-Governor
Boggs made their rendezvous for
years. Amidst Old Baldy's fastnesses
were the famous hiding places of sucn
desperate outlaws as Griego, Poncha,
Clay Allison, Chunk, Coal Oil Jimmy,
"Lone" Taylor, and scores of other
bandits equally wild and fierce. Thus
was Augustinianl environed by a mot
ley and reckless citizenship.
Story of the Hermit.
Near the summit of Old Baldy there
is a perennial spring whose cold and
sparkling waters leap from beneath
its very crown. About these gushing
mountain waters there lingers the
story of the hermit. It Is said that
when he first reached the summit,
searching fot a cave In which to live,
he was almost famished on account ol
thirst. With his staff he smote a rock
and from it sprang this beautiful
stream that has not ceased to flow
since that day.
Though many thousands of feet
above the valley, numbers sought his
cave. Augustinianl erected fourteen
huge crosses, the ruins of which still
stand as silent monuments of his de
votion and zeal. From among his curi
ous and devout visitors he formed a
society called the Brotherhood of the
Holy CroBS. His only exaction was a
nllgrlmage In May and September.
They must ascend the peak and say
Drayer around these crosseB.
In the May pilgrimage of 1867, he
made a farewell speech that crushed
the hearts of his followers. It was
then he revealed to them the hand ol
destiny in his call to the land of Old
Mexico. Before his departure he vis
ited Father Baca of Las Cruces, who
presented him with gold for his long
iourney. He sought meditation ioi
the night in the Oregon mountains
Taking his farewell of Father Baca, he
said:
"Tonight I will be In my cave and
will build my last fire on the peak tc
tell you good-by. I will pray the rosarj
and I want you to do likewise with
your people on the roofs of youi
houses. If you do not see the fire you
may know that I am dead and may
come tomorrow and get my dooks ano
property."
No fire was kindled on tne peau tnai
night. The next day a company as
cended the heights. Amid the very
clouds they found the body of the good
old hermit, stricken through with
many an arrow flung from the bows ol
the bloody Navajos.
Got Even.
A young man who had been snub
bed at the theater door decided to get
even with his girl friends.
The girls occupied the first lour
seats in the sixth row and the young
man had the fifth. They paid no at
tention to him. On the program was
monologist who began to talk of
love to get a few laughs, as those ar
tists often do. He said: "All the girls
who are in love, please stand up."
Turning to the girl next to him, the
young man who had been snubbed
said:
"Please let me out."
Naturally, the entire four had to
rise. When they were on their feet
ttje young man sat down, while the re
mainder of the audience roared In glee
