Albert Martin was a rancher living

teers came he was one of the first to go
o the front.
He fought as a private at El Caney,
ir.d after the battle he met Ramona
Perez, the daughter cf an officer In

According to his own tdmlsslon he
r.ade as ardent love to her as his own
mperfect knowledge cf the Spanish
and her entire Ignorance of the Er.g-
Ish language would permit. He pro
fessed to have meant nothing serious,
towever. and suprcstd the girl also un
derstood It as merely a harmless flir
tation. It seems he was mistaken.
. Socn afterward he was attacked ty
fever and sent hc-me.cn sick leave. He
was engaged before his departure to

of his disappearance. When she learn
ed he had gone home ill she resolved
to follow and nurs him. So she dress
ed herself in her brother's clothes,
crossed to Jamaica and there, finding
her money exhausted, stowed herself
away on a fruit schooner bound for
New Orleans.
The captain treated her with much
consideration when he discovered her
and tried to persuade her to return to
Cuba. She rejected his advice and
from New Orleans tramped up the Mis

South Dakota to Hermosa.
When she reached Hermosa she
learned of her lover's approaching mar
riage with another young lady, an
American, living near bis ranch. She
Is now a raving" maniac.
At the same time the American girl
heard of her lover's unfaithfulness and
threw him . over. That night Martin
rode into Hermosa, drank heavily until
morning;, then started to return home.
A few hours later his body was found
floating in the Cheyenne. No one knows
whether he drowned himself purposely
"or blundered Into deep water while at
tempting to ford the stream in his in

THE BOTTOMLESS JUG.
I saw it hanging P In the kitchen
of a thrifty, health sturdy farmer in
Oxford county. Mfne a bottomless
Jug! The hest si that the curious
thing was tak!ngr.y eye, and smiled
"You are wondflr.g what that Jug is
hanging up thetlfcr with its bottom
knocked out." fcf said. "My wife, per
haps, can tell 0 the story better than
I can; but she i bashful and I ain't, so
I'll tell it." J
"My fathe'as you are probably
aware, owne this farm before me. He
lived to a gd old age, worked hard all
his life, neer squandered money, was
a cautlourtrader and a good calcula
tor; and, a men were accounted in his
day and eneratlon, he was a temperate
man. " was the youngest boy; and
when ie old man was ready to go
and h knew it the others agreed that
elncel had stayed at home and taken
careof the old folks, the farm should
be line and to me it was willed. I had
ben married then three years.
Well, father died mother had gone
iree years before and left the farm to
ne, with a mortgage on it for two
thousand dollars. I'd never thought
of it before. - I said to Mollie, my wife:
" 'Mollie, look here. Here father's
had this farm in its first strength of
soil, with its magnificent timber and
his six sons, as tl.ey grew up, equal to
so many men to help him; and he work
ed hard, worked early and late, and
yet look at it! A mortgage of two thou
sand dollars. What can I do?
"And I went to that Jug it had a
bottom In It then end tock a good stiff
drink of old Medford rum from it.
"I noticed a curious loko on the face
of my wife Just then, and I asked her
what she thought of it, for I supposed
she was thinking of what I'd been talk
ing about. And so she was, for she
said:
"'Charles, I've thought of this a
great deal, and I've thought of a way
in which I believe I can clear this
mortgage off before five years are end
ed.' "Says I: "Mollie, tell me how you'll
do It.
"She thought for a while, and then
said, with a funny twinkling in her eye
says she:
" 'Charlie, you must promise me this,
and promise me sdemnly and sacred
ly: Promise me that you will never
bring home for the purpose of drink
ing for a beverage, at any time, any
more spirits than you can bring in that
old Jug the Jug your father has used
ever since I knew him, and which you
have used since he was done with It."
"Well. I knew father used, once In
a while, especially in Haying time, and
in winter when we were at work In the
woods, to get an old gallon Jug filled;
so I thought she meant that I should
never buy more than two quarts at a
time. 1 thought it ever, and after a
little while told her that I would agree
to It.
"'Now mind, said she, you are nev
er to bring home any more spirits than
you can bring In that identical Jug.'
And I gave her the promise.
"And before I went to bed that night
I took the last pull at that Jug. As I
was turning out for a sort of night cap.
Mollie looked up, and says she: 'Char
lie, have you got a drop left?"
"There was Just about a drop left.
We'd have to get it filled on the mor
row. Then she said, if I had no objec
tion, she would drink that last drop
with me. I shall never forget how she
said It 'that last drop!' However. I tip
ped the old Jug bottom up. and got
about a great spoonful, and Mollie said
that was enough. She took the tumbler
and poured a few drops of hot water
Into it and a bit of sugar, and then
she tinkled her glass against mine. Just
as she had seen us boys do when we'd
been drinking to good luck, and says
she: 'Here's to the old brown Jug!'
"Sakes allvel I thought to myself
that poor Mollie had been drinking
more of the rum than was good for
her, and I tell you it kind o cut me to
the heart. I forgot all about how many
times she'd seen me when my tongue
was thicker than it ought to be. and
my legs not so steady as good legs
ought to be: hut I said nothing. I
drank the sentiment 'the old brown
Jug' and let It go.
"Well. I went out after that and did
my chores and then went to bed; and
the last thing I said before leaving the
kitchen this very room where we now
alt was:
" 'We'll have the old brown Jug filled
tomorrow.'
"And I went off to bed. And I have
remembered ever since that I went
to bed that night, as I had done hun
dreds of times before, with a buzzing
in my head that a healthy man ought
not to have. I didn't think of it then
nor had I ever thought of it before, but
I've thought of It a good many times
and have thought of it with wonder
and awe.
"Well, I got up the next morning and
did my work at the barn, then came in
and ate my breakfast.but not with such
an appetite as a farmer ought to have,
and I could not think then that my ap
petite had begun to fall. However, I
ate my breakfast and then went out
and hitched up the old mare; for, to
tell the plain truth. I was feeling in the
need of a glass of spirits, and I hadn't a
drop in the house. I was in a hurry to
get to the village. I hitched up and
came in for the Jug.v I went for It in
the old cupboard, and took it out, and
"Did you ever break through the thin
ice on a snapping cold day. and find
yourself in an Instant over your head In
freezing water? Because, that is the
way I felt at that mcment. The Jug
was there, but the bottom was gone.
Mollie had taken a sharp chisel and a
hammer, and, with the skill that might
have done credit to a - master work
man, she had clipped the bottom clean
Some Uses of Water.
A strip of flannel or a soft napkin
folded lengthwise, dipped in hot water
and wrung out and then applied round
the neck of a child that has the croup
will surely bring relief in a few min
utes. A linen towel folded several times
and dipped in hot water, quickly wrung
and applied over the site of toothache
or neuralgia, will generally afford a
prom relief.
This treatment for colic has been
found to work like magic
Nothing so promptly cuts short a
oongsstion of the lur ga, aora throat or
out cf the Jug wltl out even cracking
the edges of the sides. I looked at tht
ivg, and then she burst out. She spoke
Oh, I had never heard anything !ik
it! No. nor have I heard anything like
it since. She said:
" "Charles, that's where the mort
gage on this farm came from! It wa
brought home with that Jug twe
quarts at a time! And there's where
your white, clean skin, and your clear,
pretty eyes are going also. Oh. let it b
as it is, dear heart! And remembei
your promise!'
"And then she threw her arms about
my neck and burst into tears. She
could speak no more.
"And . there was no need. My eye?
were opened as though by magic. In s
single minute the whole ecene passed
before me. I saw all the mortgages or
the farms In our neighborhood; anc"
I thought where the money had gene
The very last mortgage father had evei
made was to pay a bill held against
him by the man who had filled this Jug
for years! Yes, I saw it passed befor
me a glittering picture of rum! rum
rum! debt! debt! debt! and In the end
death. And I returned my Mollle'i
kiss, and said I:
" "Mollie, my own, I'll keep the prom
ise! I will, so help me heaven!"
"And I have kept it. In less than five
years, as Mollie had said, the mortgage
was cleared off; my appetite came back
to me; and now we've got a few thou
sand dollars at interest. There hangs
the old Jug Just as we hung it on that
day; and from that time there hasn't
been a drop of spirits brought into the
house for a beverage which that bot
tomless Jug wouldn't hold.
"Dear old Jug! We mean to keep it
and hand it down to our children for
the lesson It can give them a lesson of
a life happy, peaceful, prosperous and
blessed !"
And as he ceased speaking his wife,
with her arm drawn tenderly around
the neck of her youngest boy, murmur
ed a fervent amen.
HOUSEHOLD HINTS
Flour should always be sifted Just
before using, and measured after sift
ing. To cleanse the mica of stove doors
wash In salt and vinegar, and dry with
a soft cloth.
If the cellar has a damp smell and Is
difficult of ventilation, a few pans of
charcoal set on the shelves and in the
corners will make the air sweet and
pure.
A spoonful of scrambled eggs or ome
let left from breakfast and spread be
tween slices of buttered bread or bis
cuits makes a school lunch sandwich
that Is usually found acceptable. A
spoonful of creamed codfish Is also not
to be despised as a savory "filler" for
the cmniverous sandwich.
An exquisite mixture for perfuming
clothes that are to be packed away, and
which is said to keep out moths a'.so. is
made as follows: Pound to powder one
ounce each of cloves, caraway seed,
nutmeg, mace, cinnamon and Tonquin
beans, and as much orris root as will
equal the weight of the foregoing In
gredients put together. Little bags clj
thin muslin should be filled with this
mixture and placed among the gar
ments. A savory homemade chill sauce calls
for twelve large, bright scarlet toma
toes, pared and chopped together with
two fed peppers and five small onions.
Add to these two tablespoonfuls of salt,
two cups of vinegar, two tablespoons
and a half of brown sugar, with ginger,
cloves and cinnamon to suit. Cook
slowly on back of range for four or five
hours, stirring frequently with an ag
ate or wooden spoon to prevent Its ad
herence to the kettle. Put In wide
mouthed bottles, dipping the cork in
melted sealing wax. or put In glass
fruit Jars.
I WOULDN'T BE CROSS.
I wouldn't be cress, dear; it's never

Disarm the vexation by wearing a

Let hap a disaster, a trouble, a loss.
Just meet the thing boldly and never

I wouldn't be cross, dear, with people
at home.
They love you so fondly; whatever may

You may count on the kinsfolk around
you to stand.
O. loyalty true, !n a brotherly band!
So, since the fine geld far excelleth

To clear out the flint-stones and plant

No, dear, with a stranger. In trial or
loss,
I perchance might be silent; I wouldn't
be cross.
No bitterness sweetens; no sharpness
may heal
The wound which the soul Is too proud
to ' reveal.
No envy hath peace; by a fret and a Jar
The beautiful work of our hands we
may mar.

Ol ANT PHILIPINE BEES.
These Honeymakers May Be Intro
duced Into the United States.
There was one race inhabiting the
Philippines which will be a welcome ad
dition to American citizenship and will
receive every facility and inducement
to emigrate to the United States and
engage in the skilled labor in which it
has no superior. This is the giant East
Indian honey bee, whose immense ca
pacity for making honey and wax has
interested the department of agricul
ture in the consideration of an early
effort to Introduce it into the United
Shates. To science this bee is known as
Apis dorsata. It is common throughout
the tropical regions of the east, and in
the Philippine Islands the very largest
variety of tt;e species is found. It is
nearly one-haTf larger- than the Amer
ican native honey bee and build combs
heavy with wax and honey, five or six
times as large as those found In Amer
ican orchards and forests.
The question of acclimatizing these
lnhabltanes of the Philippines In the
colder latitudes of America is not dis
couraging. The giant bees are found in
the mountain regions all through India
and been seen busily at work at alti
tudes of 5.000 feet. In the Philippine
islands their colonies are most numer
ous in the mountains, as the unceasing
quest of the natives for their honey
combs has driven them from the un
protected flat lands of the coast to the
less thickly inhabited and more heav
ily wooded mountain regions. The Fil
ipinos find their daily bread a rather
easy proposition, but they are very fond
of honey on the staff of life. There Is
also a large demand for wax for use
In dyeing.
The big bees build their hives on tall
forest trees or on the overhanging
ledges of cliffs. "When undisturbed
branch swarms build near the parent
colony, so that In a few years an im
mense bee settlement cften grows up
In the forest. The bees build a comb
five or six feet long, four fet wide
and from seven-eighths to one and one
half inches in thickness. The largest
combs of the American honey bees are
not more than one-fifth of these dimen
sions. In appearance the giant Is a
smoky, glittering iridescent black wasp
like figure, with orange bands encir
cling his body. There have been re
ports that this bee is most ferocious
and on account of his great size ex
tremely dangerous, but Professor F.
Benton of the department of agricul
ture has seen and handled them in
their Jungle haunts, and he tells a dif
ferent story. They are such busy and
persevering workers, according to Prof.
Benton's account, that they have lost
dexterity with their stinging apparatus,
and although they alight full of wrath
and with evil Intent upon human hand
or body, they do not handle their ot
offensive weapon with skill, and it will
take them twenty or thirty seconds to
