I A CARCEL ?? ? COURTSHIP, gi m Thc Romance of Josejlna and {jj \ Zr Mordo* of Guadalajara. *i ! 9 -r ? g By GWENDOLEN OVERTON. A It is a commonplaco of sociology that morality is a matter of latitude. ? It is also, of course,-a matter of j chronology. There axe saints upon the calendar who would have lan guished behind i prison bars had Providence sent them into a pro gressive world a few centurie* later. And even today the breaking of the sixth commandment does not in evitably stamp one as unfit for the society of one's fellow men. More les, fer instance, hud killed his man. He had nof only killed him, but had poisoned him after mature thought. Yet there wa3 not in all Mexico a mere lovable and ingenuous young man. The law of supply and demand works morally as well as indus trially, and it is perhaps because he must ask charity tluit the Mexican has much charity to give., What ever tho reason for it may be, the fact undoubtedly remains, and in this case no one thought any the worse of Morclos because he had put a thoroughly objectionable old uncle out of the way. The uncle richly deserved what he got, but tho law, which was unfortunately molded upon that designed for another race of jmen, deci that Morolos must go to the penitentiary, for a matter of seven years. However, the cus toms of the country, which were not invented by the foreigner, decreed that, his term ol incarceration should be made as pleasant for him as mi cht be. You can. be very comfortable in deed in the Guadalajara careel comfort being almost an affair of latitude. You may enjoy almost anything that money-^that of your self or of your friends-can buy. 'And money was no object to More los at all. When he should attain ?his majority and leave the careel, both of which events had been thoughtfully planned for the same day, he would be one of the richest landed proprietors in Mexico. His cell was quite'a sybaritic retreat, saving only the old and the odor of damp stone and mortar upon which the sun ? never shines. . Tho bunk was fitted out with his own linen, beautifully embroidered with his monogram. It was covered with a zarape calculated to raise covet ousness in the. hearts of visiting tourists. Morolos' notions of art were catholic. He admired infant's food and ' face powder advertisements, cigarette pictures and pictures of the saints all equally. His walls were'plastered with them. A Madre de Dio3 in a cone shaped petticoat and "a starry crown occupied the place of honpr at the head of his bed, but a colored lithograph of Anna Held crowded it close.. He took great pride and comfort In his room. He liked to have it exhibited to" the visiting tourists. His opin ions of all tourists, but more espe cially of American ones, was poor enough. Still, aa they affordedliim opportunity to practice his English and irench,'they were to be en dured. Morelos had not wasted the years'of his youth in the careel. He had studied French alone, but the English ho had picked up from an other convict who was more Ameri can than Mexican in disposition and in blood, and who, in -consequence was the only really vicious looking character in the penitentiary. Thero had many [visitors com? and jgone for many years, and More los had bespoken them with Mexicai courtesy and forgotten them witt Mexican fickleness when they hac kept on their way. But at las there was one who came whom h< was rioV to forget. She was Mexi can herself, and to his mind'fai more "beautiful than tbe? Anna Held She wore a pink dress stiffly starch ed, a black Bhawi about her shoal dera, and her hair, which was bro wi and waved,, uncovered. She wa with a party of American visitors o distinction, whom the intendent himself was taking through. Th intendente had brought her alon; that she might act. as ihterpretei for he firmly believed that she epok English very well. The touristf however, understood his ^pantonrin better than her speech. They had inquisitive ways, th gringos, and the women laughed a everything. When they were show Morelos* cell, they commented upo him in phrases which he pjarfectl understood. But the little llcxica stood modestly aside! She gave on glance into the cell, let her eyes ref for a moment on tho holy pictui and on the crucifix and rosary bi neath it,, then dropped her lid Her lashes were long and curved. The emotions which Morelos e: gerienced were patenf. to any ey The intendente BUW and nhd?rat?o "Will yon come with us, Natcho. ai help to show the senoras and senor over tho careel?" It was the pet tentiary, of course, hut the in m ivt preferred to hear it called coreel. Morelos' faco lighted with gra tude. Ho carno out from tho ce the door of which stood open fr? Runrisc to sundown. Thc oupi intendent presented him "with' ce; mony. Morelos only remember one name-that, of Josefina, wh( apellido was Gonzales. L&I-? -'- - EL^L^L^sSS BB ' i 5 Being introduced to a convict and having him shake hands was a new experience to tho excursionists. One of them said so, and Morolos flushed and withdrew into his shell. But the intendente himself was a con vict on parole, a state prisoner of the ?reat statesman who understands his own pcoplo as well as tho laws of foreign lands, and the convicts loved him as a father and spoke of him by his first name. Morelos ac companied the party through the careel. "Why dost thou not speak Eng lish with them, Natcho?" the inten dente asked in his own tongue. The gringos, would have been sur prised if they had understood the disdainful import of the convict's little shrug and his amiable "I have forgotten my English today, senor." The intendente smiled, and his kind gray eyes twinkled. To have displayed his knowledge of English would have entailed answering the thousand and one questions of the active minded excursionists and would have prevented speech with Josefina. Thc intendente watched things. He saw how Morelos stood lonely and disconsolate in the long stone corridor looking after thc girl in the pink dress and black shawl. He saw Josefina as the gates < " unged behind them, the guards called out and the great gong pealed three times in signal that the visitors were gone j he saw Josefina, ever so little, turn her head and glance back under the heavy white lids. And the intendente forthwith made his Slans. "Natcho will be free on the ay he is 21, in two months," he said to his wife. "He will be rich; he is a good boy and handsome. It would be a good marriage for Jose fina." "He poisoned his uncle," the senora objected, not in the least strenuously. The intendente tossed that away with a gesture. "Sin duda," but what of that ? He had been a mere child, only 14, and the uncle had been a wretch, who was ill treating the boy and wasting tho fortune which was rightly Natcho's. The Morelos h&cie?da was the finest in Jalisco, and Flitch o was a good boy. So the intendente sought out one excuse and another to take Josefina to the penitentiary again. He found frequent UBe for her services as interpreter, and always Morelos was called from his cell or the work shop or the patios. There is not much.obnoxious dis ciplining of a sweet humored and idle people in a Mexican peniten tiary. The convict wears the gray garb over his own linen. or tatters, as the case may be, does st> little work, stays within the confines o? tho prison, and is locked up in his cell at sunset. He employs his lei sure in agreeable converse,.wander ing freely about the courts and cor ridors, making lace and carving trinkets if he cares to. On feast days a?id Thursdays he may dc pretty much as it pleases him. H was usually on Thursdays that J ose fina was brought with the visitors but as interpreter neither she noi Morelos was ? notable success They lagged behind and fell aside The other convicts took an inter?s! in the matter and approved. "She is charming, the sweetheari of Natcho," they said, and they gav< her carved peach and chico stones and made her presents of yards oj the lace they knitted themselves for her trousseau, they called it. Morelos could not carve stone! nor yet make lace, but he could act cud his talent had sometimes ai outlet. There was a Spaniard in hit same corridor, a pleasant younj fellow, who had stabbed his novia': other lover in jealous rag * and wh< could Write plays. He had writtei one to be performed npon the in tendente's fiesta, which was alway: a gala day in the penitentiary, an< Morelos was to have the icadinj role. There could be no women ii it, of course, for the Mexican neve puts his female offenders in th penitentiary proper. For the pur poses of f.i.e play a stage was buil at tho end pf an 'unused corridoi and benches were set up along th whole length, seats of honor bein, reserved for the intendente in front An elaborate invitation was extend ed to him, hi? relatives and friend: and they came to the number of score, Josefina among them, o course. His children disdained th seats of honor and went back to si on the convicts' knees. The priso: band played. The Spaniard cam before tho curtain ana read a* we! come and after that a prologue, J was a long play. It went on an ira through the greater part of th afternoon, scene after scene, ac if ter act, but Joanna found ital .orbing. .Shu sat with parted lip md earnest eyes watching- More-<i striding about thejtiny stage uttei ing noble sentiments .and terribl maledictions and acting, eut a adaptation .of the-story of his ow life, with beautiful lack of false del 2acy. - There was a riceno of realisi ko be .experienced in seeing itorolc pour poison into tho cup of th deeping old man who had wronge him that is lacking in many . play d?reles threw hirfagc?f into the u>; sn$pan art heightened by exper 3nce. Josefina watched him, an her breath came iii gains. "It was to that ho killed his erm >lc? uncle, was jt not?" she nskc the intendente. }?..'.> "It seems so," Ire answered her. And she whispered from timo 1 tjs?e, "Fpbreeitc, pobrecito." ?ras plain that her sympathy, as thi jf the audience, was with the mu lerer. When the play was over at last, ' the'curtain came together and tho actors responded to the frantic ap plause again and again, but when ever Morelos bowed his eyes looked straight and hard into Josefina's, openly and without pretense. It was hot sunset yet, not time to be locked np for the night, so the convicts1 own band took itself out to the central court, ascended the band stand and began to play. The others lounged around in the after noon sun, their red frazadas show ing in fine color against their gray garb and the gray of the masonry walls. Josefina was alone upon a bench, listening to the music ostensibly. ? ray of sunlight was on her brown hair; her shawl had fallen back from her shoulders, because the day was warm. Tho band was playing the "Ivorpln? " Mercies came up to her. He was handsome at the best of times, even when he wore tho gray uniform with his own fine linen showing from under, but new he looked the very type of some seigneur of the Valois court 01 of a grandee of conquering Spain. Ho was dressed in black velvet, his slip pers were high heeled, and his stock ings were silk. A frill of lace fell over each hand, and his hands were beautiful ones, white and tapering and small-the hands of a long lei sure and a long line. The ancestors of Morelos had been princes of the land much ere the Spanish had come. He took Josefina's fingers for a short moment, then sat beside her on the bench. He might have been tho courtier he looked, but she bore no resemblance to a lady of palaces. She was only a pretty enough little Mexican girl. Natcho, however, ranked her beauty far above that of Anna Held in a blue feathered hat br Our Lady in a coni cal skirt. "Have you praise for me?" he asked. Her admiration could only find expression in a look and a quivering sigh. He leaned closer to her. What though all the careel did see? "I poisoned my uncle like that, you snow/' She bowed her head. "Pobre- j cito," she murmured again. "But I Bhall be free tomorrow, and I shall be 21." There was no reply. . "Pepita, will you be my novia thenPr j lt. is always a sweet word--"si" but now it was sweeter than tho low twitter of any mocking bird. They sat in silence, and presently she lift ed her eyes slowly, .heavily, full np lo h?3. i [ There was a rustle in the patio. The convicts were forming into line at the openings of their respective corridors. It was sundown. More los stood up. "For the last time," he said, and added, "until tomor- j row." Then he fell into line. The band took up "La Golon- , drina," and the wail went up to the daffodil sky infinitely pathetic and sad. The gray figures, red blanket ed, went each one into his damp stone cell; the gratings were closed upon them and the keys turned. Josefina followed the intendente down the main corridor and through the double gates. There came to her, echoing through the vaults, the swell and fall of the music, the snuffling of feet on cement floors and the rasping of the big keys in the locks, the key which was being turned on Morelos for the last time. The guards called as they passed out, the inner and outer gates shut with a clash, and the great bell clanged three times. Argonaut._ Strange Effect of an Earthquake. An earthquake wrecked several \ buildings in the town of Aulton, j Mexico, one time and then passed on to Zopothon, whero it sported with the waters of a big lake. At first the waters aeemed in a state of great agitation, and then they subsided and .gradually disappeared. The earthquake had caused a fissure in the bed of the lake, and through this the lake passed out of sight. Memory and Forgetfulness. Some men can remember noth ing. Theirs is a great misfortune, for experience is of no use to them. They walk in darkness, minns the lamp by which wiser feet are guided, and of course stumble as they go. There ore others whose vile forte it is to remember pleasur ably all that good men strive to dis miss from their recollection. Their minds are like filters, which permit that which is pure and excellent to run through them, but retain what ever is coarse and noxious. Their fund of immoral information is in exhaustible, but of facts which illus trate the best traits of, human na ture or the wisdom and benevolence of its author their memories are bore. There is a very large class that cannot remember benefits-an other that never forgets wrongs. In short, the specialties of memory and of forgetfulness are manifold.

DINING TABLES. Only Now and Then One Under Which a Man Can Cross His Legs. "I have discovered a very great defect in the architecture of the dining table," remarked, an epicure yesterday, "and the defect is univer sal. I nave found in my time but very few tables built after my ideal, I and it seems to mo that some man . interested in matters of this sort ought to start a revolution along these lines. When I sit down to a meal, I want to rest. Eating and resting ought to go together. Rest fulness at mealtime, absoluto com fort at tho tablo and good food of the wholesome kind are things that will commend themselves to most men. "Now, I have what I call a meal time hobby. I always want to cross my logs under tho table. Most men do, I believe. And why not? It is a comfortable position. It en ables one to sit more erect, too, at thc table, gives one a more graceful pose. I do not know what etiquette says about one's legs and feet dur ing mealtime, but I suppose it goes no further than to suggest that they should be kept under the table, which is correct, I ween. "But I insist thxt among my in alienable rights is the right to cross my legs, and to C?OSS them under the mahogany at that if it pleases me so to do and adds to my com fort. What other peop?o may think about it does not count for so much as a whit, and yet it is a fact that ono rarely enjoys this gracious privilege because of the awkward, grotesque and unhappy architecture of the dining table. The tables ought to be made differently. They ought to be roomier, so that a fel low would have ample space in which to cross his legs if it pleases him to do so. Of course if one does not want to cross one's legs at meal time one need not do it, so the change could do no harm."-New Orleans Times-Democrat. Motion of the Stars. The term "fixed," applied to the stars, is a mistake, for it is now known that there is not a fixed star in the heavens and probably no such condition as absolute rest in the universe. All thc stars are in motion, and some of them aro mov ing at the rate of 250,000 milos an hour, or more than thrice the veloc ity of our earth in its orbit. It might be thought that this constant motion would produce continual changes in the stellar relations and alter the face of thc heavens every few years. But the vast distances at which the stars are set from us destroy the visual aspect of their motion atid preserve the unchanging asj)ect of the heavens. None of the constel lations has sui?ered a dislocation in 3,900 years. Sirius, Arcturus and the Pleiades are still in their places. Although the 81 stars in Orion hilve ever been in motion, each without relation to any other, tho mighty figure is ns it appeared to the man of TJz 40 centuries ago. Combustible 8ubatance8. There are many substances which will produce what is called sponta neous combustion when brought into contact and which are there fore sources of danger when left about the house. . Greasy rags and rags which have been wet with tur pentine or alcohol should be burned as soon as used. ?The merest spark may cause a blaze where olive oil or any other vegetable oil is mixed with rags, hay, sawdust or any such combustible material. Fine sawdust is a very combustible material and should not be used, as it very often is, to collect the drippings of oil casks in shops or warehouses. Lampblack mixed with linseed oil is one of the most inflammable of substances. A common source of fire in houses comes from the tim bers dried by the steam, hot air or hot water apparatus. It is safest to destroy at once all greasy rags of whatever kind or description, for these may in a moment of negli gence become the cause of greet de? etruction. A Bright Boy. The gopher only remains a few seconds in his hole, when he feels an irresistible desire to come out again and look about him. Taking ad vantage of a knowledge of this habit of theirs, a little boy 8 years old, who was lost for ten days in the prairies of Assiniboia, 150 miles north of tho Canadian Pacific rail road, in 1886, was able to save his life. The boy wore lace boots with leather laces and used to spread a1 noose made with a boot lace over a hole where ho had seen a gopher go, in. Then he would he down and wait for him to come out again.. When a gopher, according to his! wont, put his head out to thc world,, tho littlo boy pulled the string,! caught him by the neck and ate him.: As there was plenty of rainwater in> the holes about, tho boy. got along verj well in this way until a search party rescued him.-Blackwoods Magazine.

"Thc term 'Yellowhammer' as ap plied to Alabama and tho Alabami ans originated with a Confederate soldier named Will Arnott, who be longed to Company A of N. B. For rest's original regiment, at Hop kinsville, Kv., in 1861," said Major C. H. Mutton. "When the company from Hunts- ! ville, Ala., the captain of which was ; Rev. D. C. Kelly, who became one of Forrest's majors, and which was afterward commanded by Lieuten ant Nance, arrived at Hopkinsville, j the officers and men were handsome ly uniformed, and on their sleeves and the tails of their coats were bits of brilliant yellow cloth. Forrest's troops all turned out to receive the Alabamians. As they marched past us-I was in Company A-Will Arnott, who was a great wag, cried out at sight of their yellow trim med coats: " 'Yellowhammers - yellowham mers! Flicker, flicker, flicker!' "There was a roar of laughter at this apt wit, and from that moment we spoke of the Huntsville soldiers as 'Yellowhammers/ a term that quickly spread throughout the Con federate armies and was applied to all soldiers from Alabama. Subse quently it was applied to the Btate of Alabama, and so today we haye the Yellowhammer State. "Will Arnett saw, of course, in tho coats of the Huntsville soldiers a suggestion of the familiar wild bird, yellowhammer."-Birmingham Age Herald. They Were Frank. During Bishop Newman's mis sionary trip around the world he spent some time in India. One day a lot of not ive pastors were called together to hear the bishop's views on the host methods of carrying on evangelical work. Native converts, according to thc missionaries, are apt to think they know just what to do and are perfectly qualified to get along without advice. Bishop New man began his talk, but was con stantly interrupted by the native brethren, who jumped up ono after another to remark that they thought this or that would be preferable. "Now, look here," finally exclaimed the bishop, losing his patience a lit tle, "if any of you think you can conduct this meeting better than I can, will you please rise?" There was silence for a moment as the bishop glanced around thc room. Then four of tho brethren gravely rose and waited to be counted. A City of Temples. The city of Benares, India, stand ing as it does on the edge of the Tiver Ganges; at a bend in the stream, presents an imposing spec tacle viewed from a short distance along the river. A gigantic series of ghats or steps descend to the river bank, and back of these aro set many splendid temples and mosques. These edifices are the chief attrac tion of the city, for Benares, in spite of its size, is not especially re markable as a manufacturing or trading seat. It is from the hordes of pilgrims who swarm to the sacred' edifices of the city that the citizens derive their greatest income. Less' than a quarter of the inhabitants of Benares are Mohammedans, while three-quarters are Hindoos. In the older part of the town colossal Buddhist remains still lie thickly scattered over the ground. Diplomatic Entrance. In the year 1871, when the government of M. Thiers was at Versailles and before the national assembly had decided whether the new constitution of France was to be monarchial or republican, the late Comte de Paris visited thc pal ace at Versailles. Just as he was about to enter M. Julos Simon met and recognized .him. Bowing low, M. Simon said with m uoh' gravity : "If wo aro a republic, count, you are in my house, and I shall be de lighted to do tho honors; but if wo aro a monarchy, then I am in your .house and cannot play the host." Tho Comto de Pari3 laughed and took M. Simon's arm.
