You cannot, advertise money out of peo pie's pockets n h t-lie time :you may do it now and then, but if you don’t give them some thingof iili-oiuto merit in return, advertis ing will never prove successful.

Never has it been better illustrated than in the great success of Casearol s, candy cathart ic, that we have been lately advertising in this paper.

T was my fortune some years ago to be > connected with a surveying party through western New Mexico and whose line of ex amlnation lay into ;7- Arizona, along the I//V. thirty-fifth paral lel, where. a rail road is now built. a wilder Country tban that was at that time it would be difficult to Im agine. Far apart there were a few wretched United States posts called by courtesy “forts,” but tho Navajoes and the Apaches—the latter under the famed Chief Cochise—made it unpleas ant traveling through the lofty moun tains and across the sterile mesas that distinguish that land. Every man in our party walked with his rifle at his back and his pis tols in his belt, and when we lay down on our blankets at night our weapons were within easy reach, and our pick ets wore as carefully posted as, if we were in the presence of an enemy, as indeed we might be said to be at all times, for, though we did not often j catch sight of the wily savages we had ] every reason to believe that they never lost sight of us. La Sierra Madre. or the Mother Mountain, as the early Spanish ex plorers very properly called the great continental divide, or watershed, is crossed by several trails near the lati tude mentioned, the most noted being Campbell’s Pass, fifty miles to the west of Fort Wingate. I had ridden ahead in this pass with two troopers to make some topo graphical examinations, and was about five miles in the advance of the main party, when an exclamation from one of the soldiers caused me to rein in my horse and to ask the cause of the alarm. "I saw an Injun, sir. up there in the woods,” said the soldier, indicating the direction with his carbine. In an instant we were dismounted and watching, with our bridles over our arms and our carbines ready. After waiting some minutes I began to think the man was mistaken, and was about to give the order to re mount, when a horse plunged down the steep mountainside, and a glance told me that the remarkable looking person on the creature’s back was neither Apache nor Navajo, but a white man like ourselves. This rider’s long hair and beard looked to be as white as the snow on the distant mountain peaks, and his costume was a fantastic though de cidedly picturesque cross between the dress of a Mexican and that of a Northwest hunter. The pommel of his saddle, the but tons on his leggins, the stock of his long rifle and the hilts of his pistols and knife fairly flashed with silver. He was well mounted, and rode in a "A CIVIL ENGINEER?” HE RE PEATED. way that showed that the years that had frosted his hair had not lessened his wonderful skill as a horseman'. He came fearlessly toward us and shook hands, saying as he did so, with the manner of an educated man: "My name is Levi Bronson; did you ever hear of me before?" I told Mr. Bronson I never had heard ot him betore. but to save his pride, for the confession seemed to give him pain, I added: “I am a civil engineer and have not been long in this re gion." "A civil engineer?” he repeated. "What do you want in these moun tains?" and he waved his hands about him and looked as if he thought me an intruder. I told him that if he rode back toward our party with me 1 would explain our object; at the same time I expressed my surprise that any man should venture into such danger ous territory alone. "I know the Indians and the Indians know me." said this remarkable man. “I am to them the Silver Chief, a T’eat medicine man, who lived with them and nursed them back to health when they sickened before the men of my race came to slay and starve them. Ah, I sometimes blush for the white blood in my veins!” There was a strange gleam in his eyes ap he spoke, and I concluded that the stranger was not well balanced. I told him the object of our survey, which had the Pacific Ocean for its ob jective point and a railroad for its con clusion, but the Information did not please him. "It is folly to build a railroad through a wilderness,” he said. “What is there to support a railroad here?” and again he waved his long arms at the forest-covered bills. 1 told him that railroads had become the pioneers of civilization, and that along their tracks farms and villages 1 and cities sprang up. j "That may be in other places,” he • said, “but it is impossible that a rail- ! road should exist so close to Mad re d'Oro.” "Madre d’Oro?” I repealed. “Yes; Madre d’Oro means the moth* er of gold. Did you never hear of It?" I confessed that I never had, nud expressed a .desire to be enlightened. The old man eyed me for a few sec onds In silence, as if judging whether I was worthy or not; then he shook his head and said: “It is my secret, and I do not know you well enough to confide It” * I bowed and we rode back to where the engineer corps had formed « camp. Levi Bronson remained with us near ly a week, and during that time he refused very tempting offers,to act as guide for us aB far as the Colorado River, He proved himself to be a famous hunter, and he ventured off alone with a perfect contempt for what would have been positive danger to any other man. f - . He was voted “crazy” by all the party, but in me.the man excited the liveliest interest, and by many couft denc-es I tried to draw from him the story of his life, which I felt sure was made up of incidents of no oni.uaty kind. The night before he left us he drew me to one side, and, slttlnfe down with his back to a tree and the flames of a neighboring fire lightning up his pic turesque face, he said: “And so you’d like to know something about Madre d’Oro?" I told him that I should, it he thought me worthy of his confidence. “It is a secret,” he said, in a half whisper, “but then what does It mat ter if the world knew, so long as only one man can find the place?” “What place?” “The place where all the gold In these rocks and streams comes from —La Madre d’Oro—the Mother of Gold. Ah, thousands have died trying to find tho place, and It may be that now that 1 know where It Is I may not be per mitted to enter In, for you know the Aztecs believe that the wonderful val ley Is enchanted." “Indeed?” “Yes, and I am inclined to that be lief myself, but then 1 have spent so many long, weary years searching that it would not do to lose heart, now that untold wealth is within my reach." I agreed with him, and by careful questioning I drew out of him his story of the valley of gold, which I subse quently found to be an established be-: lief among the miners of the Northerh Mexican states, and to them it came, without doubt, from the Aztecs, who) were once the masters of all this land. Within a hundred miles of the place where we were then encamped was the wonderful valley of gold, and Levi Bronson was confident that he knew the exact location. The valley was In the heart of the Sierra Madre Mountains, walled In by towering rocks, and accessible only by a secret passage through which flowed a stream that, excepting on one day in every year, filled up the passage and made ingress impossible. This valley 1b small in extent and perfectly circular. Through it the river flows cool and clear and filled with fish whose scales are golden. The banks are masses of variegated flow ers, and trees ever In blossom made delightful shades and fairy-like ar bors. Birds of the sweetest song and most exquisite plumage, of varieties unknown to the outer world, make vocal this wonderful valley and flash through Its dark green foliage like animated blossoms. Running aerfts this wonderful val ley there is a belt forty feet In width on which no vegetation grows, for the belt is the top of a wall of gold that Hashes with indescribable brilliancy when the sun balances in midheaven and looks lovingly clown on Aladre d’Oro. The old Aztec priests know well this valley, and as they still cherish the belief that Montezuma will again ap pear in the flesh, to lead them against the Spanish conquerors whom they have never ceased to hate, they think the wealth necessary to regain their liberties will come from this valley. But one white man ever saw it, and that was a Spaniard named Jose Al varrez, who entered through the sub terranean passage, and, being discov ered by the guardian priests, was sac rifleed to the sun on the golden ledge. “And you know where this wonder ful valley is?” I asked Levi Bronson, when he had finished his description. “Yes,” he replied, “I am sure I could lead you within one mile of the place.” “Are you going there?” “I am.” “And you are not afraid of the guardian priests?" “No, for I am a doctor, and I have practiced my profession for years among the Indians to make them my friends. They would not harm me." “But, granting that you can find the gold,” I asked, “of what use will such a fabnlous amount be?” “I will only take what I want,” he replied. “And how much will that be?” “I do not know. I have earned a great deal in all these years of working and waiting. I want to make my old age serene and happy." Levi Bronson wanted me to join him, but I declined, and we each went our separate way. and I dfd not hear j of him again. But It Is Safe to say he never reached La Madre d’Oro. I have often thought of the old man ' since, and those to whom I have told the story laughed and said: “He was I surely insane." Perhaps he was, but Is he any more Insane than the myriads who from youth to old age give every thought j to the acquisition of wealth, and who seek valleys of gold as Inaccessible and fabulous as Levi Bronson’s Madre d’Oro?—New York Ledger.

Lord Rosebery, who has been the leader of the liberal party In England since the retirement of Mr. Gladstone, has resigned that position. His reason is that he disagrees with other liberal leaders, and especially with Mr. Glad stone, as to the proper course for Eng land to take with reference to the Ar menian question. He views the Ar menian atrocities with as much abhor rence as Mr. Gladstone, but differs from him on the question of separate action by England. Lord Rosebery re gards such action as out of the ques tion, and- certain to precipitate a war whose results would be more shocking that the massacres which occasioned it. The Bluet.
