I hastily accosted a railway official, and pointed them out Bid he know vis-a-v- is came them ? I waa sure the ladys beauty had attracted attention, and was not surprised to find that the official was acquainted with her history. The Bartons were from New Jersey, and had been possessed of some wealth. They had gone to Iowa a year before because of a great scandal In which both son and daughter had been Involved. It seems that the daughter had formed an attachment disapproved of by her family, and very justly: the youth, though handsome and well educated, was a gambler and drunkard. She was Infatuated, however, and a midnight elopement had been planned, In which a rope ladder was romantically to figure. Young Barton, entering the garden late on the appointed night, came unexpectedly upon the lover, accosted him, received no answer, and engaged In a scuffle, during which a pistol carried by the daring scapegrace was discharged and shot him dead. The fair Amelia had rushed upon the scene, and the truth became known Bhe fell unconscious upon the ground and brain fever supervened.

Modesty and Humility True modesty lx true humility put Into practice. It Is not the virtue of persons who are unreflecting, and are easily driven hither and thither by the untutored Instincts and hasty Impulses of their nature. On the contrary, the man of solid merit and thought Is more likely to be modest and retiring than the man of trifling pursuits, of imperfect education, and unmistakable mediocrity. This doe not happen because the great man to Ignorant of his great powers, or the good man of his good qualities. Humility leads to the highest distinction, because it leads to Bt udv your own characters; endeavor to learn and to supply your own deficiencies; never assume to yourself qualities which you do not possess; combine all this with energy and activity and you cannot predieatof yourself, nor can others predicate of you, at what point you may arrive at last.

The four were camping together on the pralile at night, and he killed them in their sleep. There were no witnesses, and Fowlers account of the affair was that tn riding to his tarich alone, he overlook them on the pralrlerand that they, not recognizing him, confided to him their Intention of going to his ranch, killing the proprietor, and getting away with as much booty as they could find. Whatever may have been the general opinion as to the truth of his stoo, the men being dead there was no means of disproving It, and Joe went free. He was the husband of the notorious Belle Fowler, the siren, once nf the vapetite, black-eye- d riety stage, who figured so sensationally In the New Mexico cities In the eighties. He had married her in Santa Fe, and she lived with him during his stay at the ranch. Their matrimonial life was not wholly rose strewn, for she carries upon her cheek as a memento of one episode of It a deep though not disfiguring scar, which was- - currently credited) to her husband's knocking her down with a blow from a carbine. After his death ahe came in for a share of his property, which was considerable, and while It lasted she was famous about the gambling saloons of Santa Fe, Las Vegas and other New Mexico towns as a player for high stakes, and sometimes as a dealer at faro. It was on the sam night. In Immediate sequence to the of his pistols, that Joe got "chawin Into the trouble that out short jiis life. He had sold his ranch and stock, and with a large sum of money had gone to Socorro to enjoy himself. After hto all night's drinking he was getting Into a dangerous mood, and now that he waa snapping pistols at his head, two officers thought It time to Interfere for his own and the public safety. They came behind him, each seized him by an arm, and wresting his pistols from him. they took him out of the house and were walking him up the street toward the lockup. A citizen of Socorro, a friend of Joe's came up to the party to Intercede for the prisoner. Joe waited until he got near epough, and then, without provocation, drew a bowie knife and stabbed the friend to the heart, killing him Instantly. He was brought to trial, convicted, sentenced to be hanged and placed In the Socorro jail to await the day of execution. From the desperate character of the man and-thmoney he had at his disposal, there was especial danger In hto case of escape or rescue. This the citizens of ned should not happen, and they took effective measures that the murder of their fallow citizen should be avenged. A steel cage waa ordered from the east. In which more securely to confine the prisoner, and every night a' detachment of vigilantes guarded the jail, patrollng Its four walls on the outside. Before the appointed time for the execution of the death sentence arrived the governor of the territory granted the prisoner a reprieve. The citizens of Socorro treated the respite as waste paper, continued to mount guard over the Jail, and punctually on the day and hour set by the court for the execution they took Joe Fowler from hto cell and hanged him. old friend Hiram Gidblo, form- erly of'Starksville Center, JVt., but now of New York city, said Col.

Mr. Gidblo's idea was to run water into this upper pan, whence through many perforations It was to fall musically into the tank below, like raindrops, reproducing the soothing, sleepy pattering of the raindrops on the root. Well, It worked beautifully the flrfet night, so far as putting him to sleep was concerned, but some time in the night he kicked loose the conductor that carried off the rainwater from the tank, and before he could get the pipe back into place the room was flooded and he was wet and tired himself. He tried he rain machine for awhile, but It never did him any good after that, and he had It taken out. He tried other things, and finally he tried going back to work again; and In his work he found, as many another man has found, relief from many Ills.

They had been out eight days, had brought in but pounds of fish, and the crew received but $5,65 a piece, which is a poor showing. In contrast to this, a fisherman said that seven years ago he sailed out of Swampscott, Mass., In a fishing schooner, and for a year each of the crew of sixteen averaged $113 a month, which was as much as the average college proressor earns." At another timo he sailed out of Boston after mackerel, and In three successive trips the crew shared $S5, $108, and $63; & total of $256 for less than a month of fishing.
