Yer ought to bathe once in yer life, anyway, an' now's ai good a time as any.' "That wuz a purty hard crack at Stumpy, fer joorin' the six years he'd been at the camp he hadn't never bathed none. Still, Stumpy wuz a mouty good hearted ole chap, an' we all liked 'im. "But "bont thet baptism. As I said. Shorty carried his p'int, an' we all filed out an' down the crick, war Shorty put us under, an' we submitted uiouty meek, fer he carried two big pistols, an we didn't know but he'd use 'n.- " Twaon't long afore Shorty's Sunday school got to be known a fer an' near 'niong the minors, an' sometimes people come as much as thirty miles to see it in operation. I rememlw one time a lot o' fellows come over from Polecat Gulch, an' they wuz a ungodly lot, shore. Thpy wasn't hardly in the houin afore they began to laugh an' make light o' the doin's, but they didn't keep it up long, lemme tell ye, for the fust thing they know'd Shorty laid down the book he wuz readin' from, and pintin' a coo-pi- e o' pistols at 'em, said: "'We're goin' ter her nrfar In this yere shop er know the reason why, an' the next derned galoot that makes a racket had better say his pra'rs, fr blamed if I don't drop 'im in his tracks. We're glad to hev visitors when they know 'nuff to behave themselves, but when they don't they'd better stay 'way or bring their coffins long with 'em. The sarvices '11 now purceed.' Arter that Shorty never had no trouble, an' fer four years that Sunday school has been a runnin' ripbt along, and today it's flourishin'." Thomas P, Mountfort in Drake's Magazine. ever last one o' ye to come.' "Wa'n't none of us hankerin' to go, but we could tell by the way Shorty spoke that he wuz in dead earnest 'bout it, an' we knowed it wouldn't be extry healthy to refuse, so we agreed to come. " 'An' I want you to b'ar in min', says Shorty, 'that the preacher's my friend, an' that he's got to be treated white. I want you fellers to behave an' act de-cent, an' if any galoot disturbs the meet-in-', blamed if I don't put a hole through 'im on the spot.' "Shorty'd a done it, too, an' we knowed it, so you may jest bet yer last dollar that we wuz a moughty well be-haved congregation" that night as we squatted agin the wall o' Shorty's cabin an' listened to the sarmont. "At fust I didn't take no special inter-est in what the preacher said, an' reckon none o' the others didn't neither, but af-ter he'd talked on a while he kinder warmed up to business, an' fer 'bout a hour he talked powerful eloquent, shore, an the way he ripped them old rascals away back ther' to Jerusalem wuz a caution. Before he'd gone very far w all got powerful interested, an' could a listened a heap longer if he'd a kep' on. "After that we tuck to goin' tomeetin reg'lar, an' afore many nights we got to lookin' forrard through the day, an feel'n' sorter anxious to hev night come an' with it another sarmont. Shorty alters set up in front along o the preacher, an' sometimes when I looked up tharan' see him so solemn like an remembered how he ust to cuss it wuz bout all 1 could do to keep from laughm right out. . "Wal, the meetin's kep on fer a week, an' then one night the preacher said he reckened we ort to hev a Sunday school. Shorty said 'Certainly,' an' the rest uv agreed, because we thought it ud us save trouble. You see Shorty had got mouty pious, but the way he fingered shootin' irons o' his'n Sjubous uv 'im, an' we didn't know but he would break out an' shoot some uv us 'fore he knowed what he wuz "bout. "So the next Sunday we met at Shorty's cabin to git up a Sunday school. Fust the preacher prayed then he read a chapter o' scripture bout Judas betrayin' his master an all that, know, an' thenheaxedus totali--to you notions of it. After give our Sawhile, an' nobody else not get-ti- n Shorty rose an said: up, 'Fellers, this yew's a new lay to me it comes a bit awk'erd, an Imayn t C able to nothin o' any oountjlbnt ?m 5 1 don't feel like remarks, an' Tm will-Vt- o ort to make a few my chin fer all ther is in it. pS wt. our notion, o this he jest read, an fer my part ESS back'ard'bout givin'mine.

"With that Shorty sat down an' waited fer some o' the rest ov us to speak, but we didn't feel ekal to the 'casion, so no-body rose up. " 'Look yere, boys,' says Shorty, 'this won't do. Some ov ye shorely got no-tions 'bout this business, an' if ye hev the parson want to hear 'em. Git up, fel-lers, an' speak out.' "Still nobody didn't move, an' 1 could see that Shorty wa'n't pleased. He waited a leetle while, then he hopped up an' said: " 'Stumpy Jackson, yer got gab 'nuff when it comes to swearin', an' I flgger that you could fling out a few remarks on this ercasion if yer tried.' " 'I hain't no speaker,' said Stumpy, 'an' I'd ruther be excused.' " 'Look yere, Stumpy,' said Shorty, we aint goin' to hev no sneakin' out o jooties in this business. Just you rise up thar an' set your mouth a goin', will ye? "Stumpy see that he war in fer it, so he crawled up, an' leanin' agin the wall with hiB hands run down in his pockets he said: " 'Fellers, I'm with the parson. I m in favor o' this yere Sunday school. I think that ther Judas chap what parson read bqut wuz a gol darned scamp, an' I'm agin 'im. Them's my notions.' "With that Stumpy slid down the wall to the floor, an' the parson talked a little more and then the thing wuz over. "Purty soon after that the parson went away, an' we wuz left to git along without 'im. But Shorty came out mouty strong then, an 'lowed he could run the instertution, an' he did, too, an' made a success of it, you kin just bet. "I never see Shorty's head fer takin' a interest in what he took hold on. "Peared like when he set in to do a thing he jest put his whole mind to it, an' he wasn't satisfied less he wuz doin' his level best. That's the way he wuz "bout that Snn-da- y school, an' every Sunday he wuz promptly on hand, an' he see to it that every doggoned one of us wuz ther, too. I never see sich a change in nobody nother as there wuz in Shorty. He quit cussin,au' figbtin', and he never per-tend-to go 'bout the s loon no mor'n if thar hadn't been sich a thing. When he wasn't at work he wuz readin' the Bi-ble an' lota o' times he would set fer hours a singin' them old chnnes, and fer makin' musio he wasn't to be snnffled at, lemme tell ye. ' . - "Wal, we got long fust rate with that thar Sunday school, and ever Sunday Shorty'd explain to u "bont them Script-ure, and he'd, alius give that thar Judas feller a gouge 'fore he quit. Shorty never could b'ar a sneak, an' I reckon that Judas wuz as low down an' misera-ble a sneak as ever lived, jedgin' from what I've beerd "bout 'im. "One Sunday, long two or three months arter the preacher left, Shorty got up after the Sunday school business was done an he say. Tellers, 'cordin to my way o' readin this yere Scripture I rigger out that we otto be baptized, an this book knows its business, so I reckon well go down to .the crick right now an' git that over.' "Stumpy hopped op to argy the ques-tion an' come "t agin baptizen, but Shorty abet 'em up in short order an carried the pint his own way.

Znni is tho largest Indian village In this country. It stands on a circular hill perhupa fifty feet high.. The houses are all of adobe clay, intermixed with pieces of shale rock und clay. The ceil-ings are low, but the rooms aro of good sizo. If one man has a house on a par-ticular site which another mau want there is no question as to tho right or ownership of real estate, for the second builder erects his house squarely on top of the first, and no question are ever asked. Then in turn some one else likes the location, and builds his house on top of the second. From this plan of build-ing it would seem that Zuni will soon be a lofty city, but the element of lazi-ness which is everywhere predominant in Znni precludes tho possibility of thiH, for the average buck will not climb more than two ladders, no matter how excellent a house site he might have by going up three or four. Small doors otien into the ground floor houses, but the holes in the roofs are used abont as much as tlw street door for ingress and egress. The ladders used by the ZnnU in ascending and de-scending to and from tho roofs certainly are snbstantial. Two long spruce ples, not less than eight or t".i indie in diam-eter at the bttfto, and fully twenty feet in length, form the upright rails of their ladders. For tho rungs they use tut sticks of hardwood, and in one or two case we found disused and bent rifle barrels serving ae steps in a Inddor. These metal rungs were so hot from tho sun as almost to burn the hand, but the little Zuni children ran up and down them with bared feet, ap-parently oblivious to tho bent. Cor. New York World.
