"Your wife la not here," they said to Hawkins. "I know she Is," persisted Hawkins. "But she Isn't We have no Mrs. Hawkins here." "Where Is she then?

One day he was giving his class a brisk oral examination. The young man, always ready to argue, was having a hard time with the direct, pointed questions that Professor Haley shot at him. "I believe," remarked the professor, after a bit, with his usual lisp, "that you are an agnotbtlc in religiouth matterth." "Yes, sir," answered the young man, promptly, scenting an opportunity to escape from the grilling to which he was being subjected.

It renders soul superior to the trouolo, disorder and emotion which the appearance of great danger might excite, and it is by this quality that heroes maintain their tranquility and preserve the free use of their reason in the most surprising and dreadful accidents. It admires the same quality in its ' enemy, and fame, glory, conquest, desire of opportunities to pardon and 1 oblige their oppressers, are what glow 1 In the minds of the brave. Magnanimity and courage are inseparable. ' Examples. The inhabitants of Prlvernum being j subdued and taken prisoners after a ' revolt, one of them being asked by the Roman senator, who was for putting them all to death, what punish- < ment he and his fellow captives deserved, answered with great interpidity: "We deserve that punlshemnt which is due to men who are Jealous of their liberty, and think themselves worthy of it." Plautlnlus, perceiving " *' wl- ?? *??? o?,nor?ioH some ofl' Ill a I 11113 Wionvi the senators, endeavored to prevent ill effects of It by putting a milder question to the prisoner: "How would you behave/' Bays he, "If Rome depends upon you," replied the gen- ' eroua captive. "If the place you grant be an honorable one, you may depend on a constant fidelity on our part; if 1 the terms of it be hard and dishonor- ' able, lay no stress on oar adherence 1 to you." Some of the judges construed ] these words as menaces; but the wiser part finding in them a great J deal of magnanimity, crfed out, "A ' nation whose only desire was liberty, > and their only fear that of losing It, < is worthy to become Roman." Ac- ' cordingly a decree passed, in favor of I the prisoners, and Privernum was de- 1 clared a munlclpum. Thus the bold 1 sincerity of one man saved his coun- ' try, and gained it the privilege of be- ' lng incorporated Into the Roman state. < ?Llr. lib. vUl. c. 10, 21. ? 1 'mere were many nne trans iu mc character of Philip of M&cedoniii. It | Is related of him that on one occasion a poor woman against whom he had just decided a cause when under the influence of wine, exclaimied, "I appeal!" "To whom?" asked Philip. "To Philip in his sober senses!" replied the woman flrmly. The king, struck with this answer, examined the affair again, and finding his former decision unjust, made ample reparation at his own expense.

This commission Socrates ' flatly refused, and not satlsfled there- 1 with, added his reasons for such re- * fusal: "I will never willingly," said I he, "assist an unjust act."

"I expect to suffer a thousand ills, but none so great as to do unjustice."?Life of Socrates. Alexander the Great having totally defeated the numerous army of Porus, an Indian prince of great courage and prudence, desired to sec him. After much entreaty, Porus consented, and accordingly set forward. Alexander, who had been told of his coming, moved forward, in order to receive him with some of Ms train. Being come pretty near, Alexander stopped purposely to take a view of his noble mien, ne being much above the common height. (Some historians* say he was seven feet and a half in stature) Porus did not seem dejected at his misfortune but came up with a resolute countenance like a valiant warrior, whose courage in defending his dominions ought to acquire him the esteem of the brave prince who had taken him prisoner. Alexander spoke first, and with an august and gracious air, asked hln. how he desired to be treated. "Like a king," replied Porus. "But," continued Alexander, "do you ask nothing more?" "No," replied Porus, "all things are included in that single word." Alexander, struck with this greatness of soul, the magnanimity of which seemed heightened by distress, did not only restore him his kingdom, but annexed other provinces to it, and trontpH him with the hi eh est testi monials of honor, esteem and friendship. Porus was faithful to him till his death. It is hard to say whether the victor or the vanquished best deserved praise on this occasion. When the Scythian ambassadors awaited on Alexander the Great, they gazed attentively upon him for a long | time without speaking a word, being I very probably, surprised (as they formed a Judgment of men from their air and stature) to find that his did not answer the high idea they entertained of him from his fame. At last the oldest of the ambassadors addressed him thus: "Had the gods given thee a body proportionable to thy ambition, the whole universe would have been too little for thee. With one hand thou wouidest touch the east, and with the other the west; and not satisfied with this, thou wouldst follow the sun, and knowwhere he hides himself. But what have we to do with thee? we never set foot in thy country. May not those who inhabit woods be allowed to live without knowing who thou art, and whence thou comest? We will neither command over, nor submit to any Irian. And thou mayest be sensible what kind of people the Scythians are, know that we received from heaven s as a rich nresent. a voke of oxen, a s ploughshare, a dart, a Javelin, and a r cup. These we make use of, both with our friends and against our s enemies. To our friends we give corn, v which we procure by the labor of our 1 oxen; with them we oiTer wine to the c gods In our cup; and with regard to fc our enemies, we combat them at a p distance with our arrows, and near at a hand with our javelins. But thou, c who boastest thy coming to expirate n robbers; thou thyself art the greatest robber upon earth. Thou hast plundered all nations thou oVercomest; thou hast possessed thyself of Lydia, invaded Syria, Persia, and Bactriana; thou art forming a design to march as far as India, and now thou comest hither to seize upon our herds of cattle. The great possessions thou hast, only make thee covet more eagerly what thou hast not. If thou art a god, thou oughtest to do giod to mortals, and not deprive them of their possessions, ir tnou an a mere man, i reflect always on what thou art, I They whom thou shalt not molest wlli be thy true friends, the strongest friendships being contracted between equals, and they are esteemed equals who have not tried their strength against each other: but do not imagine that those whom thou conquerest cart love thee." This is Alexander's exact character, and in which there is nothing to be rejected.?Q.Curt Polyxenus, Dionysius's brother-inlaw, who had married his sister Thesta, having joined in a conspiracy against him, fled from Sicily to avoid! falling into the tyrant's hands. Dionyslus sent for his sister, and reproached her very much for not apprizing him of her husband's intended flight. She replied without expressing the least surprise or fear: "Have I then appeared so bad a wife to you, and of bo mean a soul as to have abandoned my husband in his flight, and not have desired to share in his dangers and misfortunes? No!

Plut in Dion. Richard the first, king of England; having invested the castle of Chalus,. was shot in the shoulder with an arrow; an unskilful surgeon, endeavoring to extract the weapon, mangled the [lesh in such a manner that a gangrene ensued. The castle being taken, and perceiving he should not live, he ordered Bertram de Gourdon, who had shot the arrow, to be brought Into his presence. Bertram being :ome: "What harm," said the king, "did I ever do thee that thou shouldst kill me?" The other replied with great magnanimity and courage: "You killed with your own hand iny Father and two of my brothers, and rou likewise designed to have killed me. Tou may now satiate your revenge. I should cheerfully suffer all the torments that can be inflicted were I sure of having delivered the world of a tyrant, who fllled it with blood and carnage." This bold and spirited answer had such an effect on Richard that he ordered the prisoner to be presented with one hundred shillings and set at liberty; but Mac?ardec, one of the king's friends, inhumanly ordered him to be flayed ilive.?Rapin, A. D. 1198. One of the favorites of King Henry V., when prince of Wales, having been indicted for some misdemeanor, was condemned, notwithstanding all the Interest he could make In his Favor; and he was so incensed at the issue of the trial, that he struck the ludge on the bench. This magistrate, whose name was Sir William Glascoign, acted with a spirit becoming tils character. He instantly ordered the prince to be committed to prison; a.nd young Henry, by this time sensible of the insult he had offered the laws of his country, suffered himself to be quietly conducted*to gaol by the afflcers of Justice. The king, Henry IV., who was an excellent Judge of mankind, was no sooner informed of this transaction than he cried out in i transport of Joy, "Happy is the king who has a magistrate possessed of courage to execute the laws; and still more happy in having a son who will mbmit to such chastisement!"?His. Eng. The love of liberty and a true devotion to its cause, seems to have been implanted by nature in the breasts of our forefathers, it shone in the persons and characters. of the 3ilures, a powerful, hardy and warlike nation, who Inhabited the counties of Hereford, Monmouth and all adjacent provinces of South Wales. It shone particularly in the character and person of their monarch, Daractacus, a prince of noble birth ind an undaunted spirit. Though ' his forces were inferior to the Romans who invaded his dominions, yet he defended himself with invincible bravery for nine years successively, but being at last defeated in a pitched battle with Ostorius, he fled to bis mother-in-law Cartismandua, lueen of the Brigantes, who treacherously seized his person and betrayed bim to the Romans, by whom he was sent with the rest of his family in ohains, to Rome. The behavior of ^aractacus in that metropolis of the world. was truly great. When brought before the emperor, he appeared with a manly, decent and composed countenance, and addressed himself to Claudius in the following language: "If in my prosperity the moderation of my conduct had been equivalent to my birth and fortune, I should have come into this city not as a captive but as a friend: nor would rou, Caesar, have disdained the alliance of a man born of illustrious incestors, and ruler over several na:ions. My present fate is to me dislonorable, to you magnificently glorious. I once had horses, I once had iien, I once had arms, I once had -iches, can you wonder I should part vith them unwillingly? Although as Romans you may aim at universal jmpire, it does not follow that all nankind must tamely submit to be mnr slavps. If I had vipldad without < eslstance, neither the perverseness of i ny fortune nor the glory of your j rlumph had been so remarkable, i rurusn me wnn uemn anu j. siih.ii toon be forgotten. Suffer ir.e to live, ind I shall remain an everlasting nonument to your clemency." The manner in which this noble peech was delivered affected the vhole audience, and made such an mpre8sion on the emperor that he irdered the chains of Caractacus and lis family to be taken off, and Agrlpilna, who was more than an equal e ssociate in the empire, not only reelved the captive Britons with great ? narks of kindness and compassion, h but confirmed to them the enjoyment of their liberty.?Tacitus. One of the worst kings that ever reigned in England was King John, the brother of King Richard. He was cowardly and silly, and like most silly cowards, he was cruel. He robbed and murdered and broke his promises. He had tried to deprive his brother Richard of his kingdom and he had plotted with the emperor of Germany and the king of Prance to detain King Richard in prison until death. And although his brother had forgiven him for his treachery, had made peace with him, and given him great estates, yet he continued to plot against Richard; and his friends held out their castles against the king when he returned to England. John himself fled to France; but after a time returned, and making submission to his brother, was forgiven; Richard saying to him, "Brother, I wish that thou couldBt as easily forget thy habit of rebeling against me, as I shall forget thy injuries toward me. ? historical Pictures. Of Luitprand, the seventeenth king of Lombardy, the following interesting anecdote Is related: Information was brought to him that two of his courtiers, in whom he reposed particular confidence, had conspired against his li^e. As the proofs of their guilty design were too strong to admit of doubt, he resolved to speak to them openly on the subject, and summoned them into his presence. On their appearing before him, he asked them with some gravity, whether they had not always found him a kind friend. They answered that they had. He then inquired of them whether he had not always consulted them on all occasions and confided to them his most secret thoughts and intentions. They replied in the affirmative. "Then," demanded Luitprand, mildly, "how comes it that you could find it in your hearts to conspire against the life of so kind a friend? What advantage could you hope to enjoy, if I /chased with my death? Should you be likely to find as gentle a master in my successor? Were you so blind as to Imagine that you would be permitted to share a throne rendered vacant by so perfidious act?

How can you answer for yourselves?" The guilty courtiers, filled with the most lively terror at this appeal, were unable to conceal their dismay, and fell pale and trembling at their master's feet. "Rise, my friends/' said Lultprand, with gentleness, "I am convinced that whatever your past Intentions may have been, you will henceforth be my most zealous and faithful servants. I restore you to my full affection and confidence, and trust I shall never find occasion to say that it has been misplaced." The monarch's clemency filled the two courtiers with contrition, and their after-conduct gave him no reason to repent his exercise.?Manning's Stories. ELEPHANT BUTTE DAM Greatest Irrigation Project in the World on the Rio Grande. Lest we forget It is necessary once in a while to repeat that the United States government is building at Elephant Butte, N. M., on the Rio Grande, the greatest irrigation project in the world. The Assuan dam on the Nile, in Egypt, is not to be compared with it. It is to cost $10,000,000, and vast territory both in the United States and in Mexico will get the waters for irrigation. Five times bigger than the Mill building at New York, 100 feet higher and with a storage capacity which would cover the state of Delaware with two feet of water, was Project Engineer L. M. Lawson's comparative picture of the Elephant Butte dam, which he gave at the chamber of commerce luncheon last week. Mr. Lawson said the dam would form a lake forty-one miles long and six miles wide, and the main canal would be one of the largest In the world. He said that the work was being done as rapidly and economically as possible, and that the foundation would be completed within a few days, when the dam proper would be started. Under date of Elephant Butte, E. H. Balwln, consulting engineer, writes as follows: During the latter part of April 1 the grab buckets which had been exca vating about 1,200 cubic yards of sand i and gravel per day on the dam site, < were removed from cableways and skips substituted in order to help out the derricks, which were handling bowlders and loose rock on a section near the flume, the desire being to prepare an area of the foundation about 200 feet square, adjacent to the flume section, for masonry, so that concreting could be going on while the balance of excavation was being completed, thus enabling a larger force to be employed and consequently hasten the work. The material excavated during the past month has been mainly bowlders, loose rock interlaid with broken shale and clay, and some thin layers of hard sandstone, the most of which required blasting, but deposits near sound bed- j rock had to be carefully handled, much j of it loosened with picks and wedges ' In order to avoid cracking the founda- j tlon. This, of course, has been tedious ( work, the volume excavated dally was small as compared with the output j when handling sand and gravel. There was also more of this to remove than expected, as the surface of the beddrill borings, was in many places shatrock, though corresponding exactly with the location shown by diamond drilled borings, was in many places shattered and had to be removed to a greater depth than anticipated. In several places the excavation is i low at a depth of 80 feet below the ^ owest point of the old river bed and ^ ireas of bedrock thus far exposed in- t Ileate an excellent foundation, the ' ock dipping at such an nngle as to j ifford the best possible protection t igainst sliding and presenting a very i jneven surface which is very desir- e ible for the same reason. With the g exception of a narrow strip at both t leel and toe of the dam, work on which a vas hitherto not possible on account of ^ he position of the derricks and water s >ipe lines, this area is about ready for e :onereting, but in order to carry the r vork most economically no concrete ? rill be placed until the above-mention- f d areas are ready. n Labor conditions have been some- g rhat unsatlsfactoury of late, but steps 8 lave been taken to supplement the supply and a steady Improvement !: this respect Ib noticed. At the presen much hard work on the excavatlo preparing the bedrock for masonry, shortage of labor effects the outpu much more noticeably than when sue work is being done by machinery. Bu with a large area of bedrock uncover ed in the deepest part of the excavatio and concreting practically in sight, 1 is confidently expected that the mason ry will be up to the elevation of th old river bed by the close of the yeai ?El Paso Cot.
