OMAHA I -T mm ?, VJ : -r- i Lost in the Desert The family of Mr. Godfrey Hughes, a member of the firm of assayers owning the customs assay office, recently went to spend the summer months visiting friends who own a large ranch about seventeen mlleej above Albuquerque, reports the El Paso Times. The family consists of the mother, two sons and a daughter. Re cently the children asked permission of their mother to go to a corral some three hundred yards away from the house and on the other side of a knoll that obscured tho corral from view to play. Permission was given and the youngsters bounded away for their afternoon frolic. Soon the little sister wearied and tho elder brother proposed that they take her to the house To this the younger brother, Emerson, who was only 6 years old, demurred, as he wished to play more. So the older brother took his sister to the house. Upon the ar rival there the mother asked, "Where Is brother?" "We left him playing at the corral," eaid the boy. The mother then sent him bark for the little trunnt. Shortly the messenger came back, panting from the hurry of running. and exclaimed that his brother was no where to be found; that hp was not at the corral. The frightened mother hurried over to the corral and there found the re port of her boy to be true. She searched and searched, but could find no trace of the missing child. At last she came upon some little footprints showing that th child had taken a direction the opposite to what he should have taken, and the ha rassed mother became more and more alarmed as the fact that her child had strayed and was In all probability lost be came apparent. She followed the footprints for three miles and only ceased because darkness was approaching and she was powerless and had to call for aid. As rap Idly as her nervous and exhausted state would permit she retraced her steps to the house and alarmed the household. Imme diately a search party was organized and despite the oneomlng night started tint In quest of the helplese child. Through that disheartening night the weary search continued. And the next day the trained services of seventy-five Indians were Impressed and all that long and try- ng day the search went on and yet no clue to the wanderer. The grief and agony of the poor afflicted mother were beyond con solation. The continued discouraging rw. porta that were from time to time brought her only added to accentuate her suffering-. The tracks could be followed for a distance of twelve miles and then seemed to double upon themselves and finally becam lost. Without rest the searchers continued In what seemed their hopeless quest. The thought of the poor little tot being out upon the dreary plains alone, without shelter or food, wandering on with the helplessness of the lost, crying possibly with fright, tormented by the pangs of hunger and thirst, was eimply maddening to the poor mother and friends seeming so helpless to terminate the trying situation All of Sunday night the search continued and early Monday morning the father, who had been Ignorant of the tragedy, was wired. He arrived that day and added his untiring efforts to those of the large party already out. To think of the dreadful pathos of It all! The poor child was not found until Wednesday morning. It was then found by a Mexican, who carried the exhausted lit tle form to his cabin, where the child lin gered for three hours and then passed away. The ordeal had been beyond the little one'a endurance. The remains were taken back to the ranch and next day were Interred In the cemetery of the neighboring Tillage. Their Ruling Passion New York Sun: "When I was In Florldi a few weeks ago," said the Brooklyn man, "I overheard a dispute between two darkles as to the color of the skin of cer tain biblical personages. I won't attempt to give you their dialect. One declared with much vehemence that the apostles were all negroes, and to prove his case told of the geographical position of Palestine as com pared with Africa. 'They are all colored persona In Africa,' he said, 'and Africa Is right near Palestine. Peter and all the apostles were black men, and I know It.' " 'They were not black men,' replied the other, 'and Peter was as white as that northern gentleman over there. " 'What makes you so sure that Peter wasn't a colored gentleman ?' asked his ad versary. " 'Well, If Peter had been a colored gentleman that cock wouldn't have crowed more than once.' " A Deep One Baltimore American: "I presume," be said, with an air of deep thought, "that the dally study of tho peculiarities and features of meteorological conditions Is r-ponslble In aome part for making the weather-vane." Noticing that his listeners preserved an unsmiling silence, he went on to show by argument and example that undue notice of any peculiarity or trait was apt to make the possessor proud. But still they demanded a diagram. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Philadelphia Record: "A wig can make the greatest difference In a man's appear ance," said the hotel clerk. "I never real ized this fully until the other morning, when the third floor chambermaid announced that two men were occupying room 318, and she waa sure that only one man was registered. She said this had been going on for a week or more. I looked up the register and found that room 318 was assigned to one man, and set out to investigate. The chambermaid said she had on several occasions seen n baldheaded man In a dressing gown going and coming from the room to the bath, and then had noticed another man with curly black hair leave the room a few minutes later. As delicately as I could I broached the matter to the fellow who I remembered had registered the one with the curly black hair and he Insisted upon explaining how the misapprehension had occurred by removing his wig. He wasn't at all sensi tive about It." New Collecting Method Philadelphia Record: "You've made a mistake in my bill," eald a young man ex citedly the other day to the proprietor of a prominent tailoring house. "That can't be," asserted the tailor, mildly. "Oh, but It's so," exclaimed the youth In a flurry. "Look here! Ten dollars too much charged on this bill." The proprietor compared the bill with his books. "You're right, Mr. Blank," he ad mitted. "I'll take $10 off, and how much did you say you wanted to pay on account?'' The young man grew red, coughed, and finally produced a $5 note. "That works every time," confided the tailor tq an lntereated bystander, after the customer had departed. "Nothing brings a man here In such a hurry as to overcharge htm on his bill. When a customer gets a little backward and dodges the place I tend htm a bill overcharging him. He cornea on a rush to have the mistake corrected, and a little diplomacy does the reat. Best of all, It doesn't hurt his feelings, as would a visit from a collector." Some Fool Questions Philadelphia Teleg-sph: "We all have our troubles," ba'C tte colored philosopher who runs the elevator In the postofflce, "but the worst of It Is that we think no one has any but ourselvea. My greatest trouble Is answering fool questions, and I get a good many of them In the course of the day. The other day there was a hung jury, and one of 'em asked me It we had good beds for Jurymen who were kept over night! I told him I hadn't seen any yet, and I'd been here a good while. The weather bureau hung their sign as usual In the elevator. It said 'fair,' and that's all, same as It often does. It hadn't been there five minutes when a man from up the eta'e came In and asked me: 'Where's this yer fair at?' I told him it was In the circuit court room If It was anywhere. 'Wall,' says he, 'I can't take It In, I've got to go to the circus. And that's the way I get 'em right along." Pointed Paragraphs Chicago News: Never hit a man when he Is down. Jump on him. A man's conscience Is more elastic than his suspenders. The average American citizen is willing to die for his country In office. If kissing were a disease all young doc tors would lean toward homeopathy. A wise man knows the value of alienee when a child begins to cross-examine him The majority of purchasable things may be exchanged but experience Isn't on tht list. You can't believe everything a woman says who compliments another on her beauty. Nine times out of a possible ten a proud spirit In a woman is mistaken for a sour die posit Ion. Tell a woman she looks fresh and she smiles; tell a man the same thing and he Is sure to start a rough house. Water will not extinguish the spark of love and It takes something stronger t" scent the breath of suspicion.

Nearly all of them go to the copper mines of Michigan and Montana, but many of those who have been here some years are now leaving the mines to become farmers. It goes without saying that the Immi grants to be seen in a body at the Immi gration station today are by no mean equal in appearance to those who were to be seen there dally a decade or two ago. Still there is occasionally a well built, deep-chested male specimen, and here and there a woman's face is shown that mak'-s (he observer think of a blooming rose or a graceful lily in a garden overgrown with weeds.
