of April 3d bad the following!"rHosnngers from the west yesterday

morning were Richard Wetherill, theenergetic, capadle mananr ot tho vastwestern businexs of the 11yds Explora-tion company and J. W. Bounc tt, superintnndant ot construction, came in fromthe west yesterday morning, and spentthe day in the city Mr. Wetherill leftlast night for New York on importantmatters of business connected with thecompany. The gentleman was ioslinedto say vary little about the report thathe was to be deprived of his homesteadin Chaco Canyon. He said he had re-ceived no information to that effect andthat no one had ever homosteaded aproperty in better faith. He bad in-

tended and in fact still intended to makethe property his permanent home. Mr.Wetherill is as eothuaiastic as ever overthe uoparalelled wonders of a by goneday, and tbe miitrnllieent natural resources of tbe Ban Jaon country. Thsllyde company is doing more '.bun anyofisr agency to bring that section otNsw Mexico before the eyes of the world.Splendid exhibits are collected tor everyexposition of note, agencies are main-tained in ths chief cities ot the east andan amount ot advertising matter isdistributed.

Mr. Bennett, who leftfor the Hyde country laat tall is BtillBuffering from a fall, which resulted ina broken leg. He is in Jove with the resourcetul land iu which be makes hiahorns and has tn interesting tale to un-fold regarding prospeots and promise ofths section.

Mr. Bennett eayn that Pueblo Bonitathe chief blanket houB9 is located. Inaddition there is a large ware house,with a capacity of ten car loads. Themost expert Navajo weavers are keptconstantly employed, and will weaveto order blankets of any design. Thecompany practically controls tbe Navajoblanket industry, and the trade is

immense. There is a readymarket tor all tbe blankets that can beturned out. There is an especial deuiand for horse blankets both from theeast and from the west. In severaleastern cities there are depots, and hereiu addition to the stock of blunket andcurios are Indian weavers who showthe difference between the hand wovenblankets and the machine made articlethat is being forced on the market.

At Thoreau is also a blacksmith shopand other industries of the company,tor all work that can be done is carriedmi at home. In the ware bouse a largeBlo-.- k ot every thing that can be securedfrom the Indians of the reservation iskept. It is a shipping point for a largepart cf the reservation,

Mr. Bennett says that so many peopleare wishing to make a trip to the famousChaco ruins, the largest in the world,thai It regular stage is to be put on bythe company. There is a hotel at theruins, capable of 2'guests. Xbe distance from Thoreau is68 mileB. A half way house is to be established. Over the way from Chaco tor armiogtou 1500 telephone poles havebeen scattered. Tbe line built from l)u-rang- o

to larmiogtoo is being extendedand wiil eventually reach Tbornaii.., At- . . : 1 -- 5 . ' I : 1 .' - . -a. iw u(4; num. at jiurgu, 1x0 uo Aimo,at Escavada and at other places on theborders of tbe Navajo reservation, bigtrading posts nave been established.At there is a new two story(14,000 brink building. Tbe lower partia used aa a department store, and therefurniture, blanket and wholesale grosery department up stairs. The compuny controls the meat business ot tbetown, has an ice plant, Hour mill, harness and saddle factoay and buys evefybit of the produce of the couutry that isput 00 the market. The people of thedistrict are all prosperous, and capital-ists, farmers and throng-ing to the country. Mr. Bennett saystbat tbe water supply is abundant, andthe farming land easily brought undtrcultivation is of vant extent. Muchgovernment land still remains tn betaken up. Inquiries are coming on fromevery direction, and no part ot the terri-tory is filling up more rapidly. Thecompany is doing a great work in de-

veloping the eplenued district. Morethan a hundred men are in hia employ,and about thirty teams are emloyedcarrying supplies to the trading postsand convey i ag the blankets, pottery andIndian curios to the shipping points.Some material is hauled to Durango,but comes to Thoreau.

The plana of the company includelarge at Thoreau, and atother posts. The intention ot the com-pany to place an museumhere and advertise Albuquerque aa thegreat western depot, was fully set forthby the Journal Deuiaorat a couple ofweeka ago,"

The troulile all began In Cus Moldendoing the imevp. iii 1 thing. Pvery-hod- v

pre li led, mid with reason, thatIf Molly Cartwcll gol etigng.'il beforethe season was over It would be toyoung Maxwell Hartón, the broad-fhouhlerc- d

newspaper man fromAnd up to that momentous

afternoon It Is fair to say that Mollyand Max sh.i'nl the common convic-tion. They were great friends, Fvery-bod- y

alio said that It would be an ex-

cellent match. "For Molly," some ofthe women added. But that was only aMurt of feminine meanness over whichthe men itmifrccd their shoulders.They knew the state of Mnx's finances.

And now Molly had sent down wordthat she was sorry, but that she wouldnot be able to go boating this after-noon, and Max had swung off to thewharf, covering his disappointmentwith one of Klghtor's songs:"Oh, my Mexican Juanita,In the moonlight I will meet her,'Way down upon the silver Rio

Grande."Molly heard, and the hand that held

the beautiful ring twitched nervously."What a voice he had! And eery- -

thlng about him Is as big as his voice,"she added regretfully. "I wonder If hewould care. much. I would hate tohurt Mm. Ha is such a happy heartedfellow lu spite of his bad luck." Hereye9 went bark, to the ring.

For this was the unexpected thingGus Holden had done. He had writtenMini Molly Cartwell a business-lik- e

offer of marriago and backed up hisoffer with a perfect love of a diamond."If I Bee the ring on your hand to-

night, I shall understand that youhave decided to make me one of thehappiest of men," had been the formal

of that formal letter."I suppose I will have to get mar-

ried some day," she reflected. But ofa truth, this was not exactly the wayshe had intended to be made love toby the man she would eventually mar-ry. Heaven knows what she had in-

tended should happen. Most girlscrave a romantic love affair, and therewas no romance about this straight-cu- t

and thrust letter; nothing but thering.

Oh, that ring! What a beauty Itwas. How the other girls would go onover it.

Everybody knew Gus Holden hadmore money than he could spend.That was all they did know about him.

The idea of marrying a man she hadnot met a dozen times! Why underthe sun had he taken it into his headto be in such a hurry!

"The happiest of men." How coldit looked on paper. No doubt he hadwritten it because he considered it thecorrect thing, like the "Yours truly"at the bottom of a business letter.

For a minute she gave place to sa

and wished with all her heartthat Gus Holden had kept his old let-ter and his old riuz to himself, andthat she was out on the water having agood time with Max. Dear old Max,with his huge head and deep voice,and, best of all, honest, happy heart.

All very charming attributes, nodoubt, but yet not much In the way ofassets when looked at from the dollarsand cents point of view.

"And I'll have to get married someday. Gracious knows I don't want tobe an old maid." She picked up thering and looked at It lovingly.

"You are a beauty, aren't you? Why,Max would have to sell everything heowns, down to his golf clubs, before hecould give a girl such a thing as this.But, then, Max Is a man, and he doeswork hard. My goodness, how glori-

ously he could make love to a girl. Ifonly he could afford it." And Mollypushed aside the ring and dropped herface Into her hands, that Bhe might thebetter recall a certain delicious after-noon she and Max had spent togethertramping over the hills with theirkodaks. The huskluess that had comeinto that big voice of his when hethanked her for having given him sucha happy two hours. How strong andtender he was always, always.

"Oh, bother, I'd rather wait for Maxhalf a lifetime than marry anybodyelse. I shall learn telegraphy or some-thing and turn bachelor girl. I'll writeto Gus Holden and tell him so. AndI'll send back " The exquisitely cut

THREE WOMAN'S ERAS.

Ages of E.izibetli, Anns anil VictoriaYfcre Remarkable Epochs.

It is a remarkable fact that threesovereign ladies Elizabeth, Anne andVictoria have given their names tothe three greatest periods of Englishliterature, which were also eras of notable military conquest. Elizabeth, herselfa learned but stilted and pedanticwriter, gave an impulse to authorshipwhich culminated in Shakespeare andBacon and a brilliant galaxy of lesserlights. The reign of Queen Anne, adull, commonplace, indolent womanwith no Intellectual aspirations, wasrendered illustrious by the genius ofPrior, Pope, Swift, Addison, Defoe,Congrevo and other authors, whileNewton and Berkeley were makingValuable discoveries In science, whichvaluable discoveries in science, thenin its Infancy, and Marlborough waswinning brilliant victories.

Space falls for mention of even theforemost of the writers who have lenthonor and renown to the Victorianage names familiar as housewords.Victoria herself made some modest es-

says in authorship chronicles of thetravels and domestic life of the royalfamily In lis various resorts, whichgreatly endeared her to her people, foreven the most trivial personal detailsof the reigning house are of surpassingInterest. Remarkable as were theliterary achievements of the Victorianage, and worthy as were the contribu-tions to art and music, they fall farbelow the signal triumphs achieved byscience in this reign of almost sixty-fo- ur

years the longest In British an-

nals.Still greater than all the achieve-

ments of art, literature and science,which have lent such . luster to theVictorian age, says the MinneapolisTribune, are Its abolition of ancientabuses, the educational and philan-tbroplc- al

activities, Its efforts forameliorating the horrors of war andlot settling International difficultiesby peaceful arbitration rather than bythe sword.

Firearm LoreThe calber of a firearm is the diame-

ter of the barrel; that is, the holethrough which the charge is projected.Rifles are measured by caliber andshotguns by gauge, says the BuffaloExpress. The term bore is frequentlyused Interchangeably, though in itsmost general use it refers to largeweapons of special make. The ele-phant guna.of.W tiajnjjtajes aealways referred 'to as having bore.But hereabouts caliber and gauge arethe terms most used.

A rifle would be a rifle withan inside barrel diameter of one inch.Thus a weapon would havean inside barrel diameter of half aninch, and the arm wouldcarry a ball sized for a barrel .32 ofan inch in diameter.

Rifle and revolver measurements aremade on a scale of their own. Onemight think they would follow thetheory of cents, dimes, quarters andhalves, so long as they are reckoned bydecimals, but they don't. The small-est caliber, unless a special size, Is .22.From that rifles and revolvers arebuilt in recognized sizes up to

Sir Hurle Itoclie'a "Hull.."He was the father of "bulls." It

was he that asserted that "the bestway to avoid danger is to meet itplump." At another time in extendinga warm invitation to a friend, he re-

marked: "I hope,, my lord, if you evercome within a mile of my house, thatyou'll stay there all night."

He may have been the fool of theGrattan parliament, but there was agood deal of native shrewdness hiddenaway behind all his foolishness. ToCurran, when the 1 iter once exclaimedin the midst of a debate that he need-

ed aid from no one, and could be "theguardian of his own honor," Sir Boyleinstantly Interjected his sarcastic congratulations to the member on bis pos-

session of a sinecure. But possiblythe gem of his rhetoric was the pic-

ture which he conjured up on one oc-

casion to bring homo to his hearersthe excesses of the French revolution-ary mob:

"Here, perhaps, sir. the murderousMarshall Law Men (Marseillois) wouldbreak in, cut us to mincemeat, andthrow our bleeding heads on that ta-

ble to stare us iu the face."

cidents to markers:"Sir Henry Halford on one occasionit was not a very clear day was

about to begin thooting at 1,0(10 yards,and, thinking that the marker mustnow be ready for htm to begin, askedhim through the telephone, 'Are youall right?' The marker replied, 'Allright, sir, In a minute.' But. unluck-ily, Sir Henry took 'All right, sir,' In-

stead of the whole sentence, and re-

moved the telephone from his ear.He lay down and fired hU shot, End,on looking through the telescope tasee where he had hit, was horrified tosee the marker with a perfectly whitsface staggering away toward his shel-

ter. He was Intensely alarmed, aniIn a moment there came a ring at thetelephone. 'What has happened? Artygu badly hurt?' 'No, e'.r, I am nothurt; but I had a bucket of white-wash between my legs, painting thetarget, and you put a bullet into Itand splashed It all up In my face!'"London M. iA. P.

Cowboysas Jokers

There 13 Joy In the hearts of thecowboys who are for the win-

ter In the little cow towns along theline of the Great Northern railway Innorthern Montana. The railway com-

pany has announced Its Indignationat the actions of the boys, and theyare gleeful In consequence. To stirup the wrath of a great railway cor-

poration Is a luxury not often givento the boys who punch cows.

The management of the railwaytakes exception to the habit the boyshave formed of letting off revolvers,with apparent recklessness, during thepassage of passenger trains throughthe town. It ts an amusement dear tothe soul of the cowboy. Just nowhe has more money than he has atany other .time of the year, and alsohas more ammunition. The presenceof a passenger train at the station,with its load of curious outlanders,moves him to show off his badness.He R hoops and yells and fires h!s re-

volver until the train has pulled away;then he relapses into his everydaytelf. satisfied that he has scared the

to a frazzle. But Mr. Hillsaja this Is reprehensible, and muststop. Will it stop? Well!

The gas which Is used for lightingpurposes is now being largely employ-ed for purposes of cooking, and also,though In a smaller degree, for theft'-e- s in 1h livieg rooms of bouic:;.Tlie more Ibis use of gas will con-tinue to grow tin" less will be thedomestic smoke. But apart from theInborn rcpugnaee which mm, y jieoplefeci to n gas tire iu place of a coallire, tin; cost ir illuminating gas Istoo great to permit its general adop-tion.

dustrial purposes.But It is posible to look even a little

further nheiiil, to the time when Illum-inating gas will no longer l,e used,and Its place lie entirely taken up byelectricity.

Its beauty ofplumage is beyond comparison withanything In nit and is rivaled In itsvaried lines only by the fen t hers of thepeacock and the Argus pheasant. Tlietrngopnn has rolled under Its cbiu liken tuoked-u- tub on a child, n featherapron. In Tlie bird's normal conditionthis rolled apron practically is Invls-bb- ,

nothing nhowing except n faintlydefined line that seems to be drawnacross tlie raised surface of the throat.On rare occasions the tragopan raisesIts head, struts a little proudly andthen unrolls Its apron of feathers uu-t- ll

it covers the bird's entire front.

lines. It acts niiturali; acts effectively, clraut'-A- , sweetens and strengthensthe lnternnl organs ami leaves them In a healthy condition.

if In need of a laxative remedy the most excellent Is Syrup of Figs, batwhen anything than a laxative is required the anil scientific planIs to consult a competent physlclun cad not to resort to those medicineswhich claim to cure all manner of diseases.

The California Fig Syrnp Co. was the first to manufacture a laxative remedywhich would give satisfaction to all; a laxative which physicians couldsanction and one friend to another; so that Its sales probablyexceed all other laxatives combined. In places considerable quantities ofold-tim- e cathartics and modern imitations are sold, but with the generaldiffusion of knowledge, as to the beat medicina! agents, Syrup of Figs has

general use with the because It Is a remedy of known valueand ever beneficial action.

The of Syrup of Figs Is due not only to the combination ofthe laxative and carminative principles of plants, known to act most beneficiallyon the system, with agreeable refreshing aromatic liquids, but also to theorglnal method manufacture Ia order to get the genuine Its bcnrflrluleffects one should always note the full name of tlie Company California i'lgSyrup Co.-pri- on the front of svery package.
