'AN INTERNATIONAL TOWN, j
fpcnliaHtlw of Nttpulm, on the Hex* i
Iran Border Line.
It would be incorrect to date n letter j
from either Nogales. Ariz., or Nopales,
Mex.. alone, for the town belongs so J
thoroughly and completely to loth j
that neither half is a town ?t all. It i
is the most completely anil curiously ,
mturiwtintui 1 nine., that can be eoucciv- !
td of. There is no s< juration of the |
two parts visible as you look down on ;
the t wn from tlie hills. and the life !
and the ordinary t radio of the place !

parently to say them nay. However, '
It must not l>e supiK.sed that there is j
free trade across Ha- tltornuglifuro, 1
which on one side is called Inter nation- f
ai street and on the other the Caile In- i
ter national.
In the mbhile of the street, where .
the Calle Klias, or main business
street. crosses the International avenue.
stands a stone obelisk aliont !
twelve feet high. and hi tin* vicinity ;
of this are always one or two guards J
in civilian dress, who pay no attention ,
to empty handed passersby. bnt will j
stop any carriage rr any person who ,
offers to cross with a burden that i
might contain dntinble material Occasionally
on the Mexican side one '
sees a Mexican soldier in uniform. I
but the cuartel near by is t??o small to
hold more than a smaH detachment
and neither soldiers nor uniformed customs
guards are ever in evidence along
the border.
The Americans live apart from one
another lu individual houses of ail
grades, most of which ore very neat
and some of which are quite tine and
must have been costly. Their streets
run up tiie sides of the mountain glen
in which the town Is situated. In
among their houses are the .adobe cabins
of the Mexicans, who are their
hewers of w<od and drawers of water
(these terms being literally correct !
here, for the fuel of the country is ;
knotted ami gnarled wood, brought |
from the hills on donkeys' backs, ami <
the town water won't run up to the '
higher elevations!.

Applying Epithets.
A Virginia statesman in Washington
has two t*oys, about five and six years
old respwtively. wbo are not such "angel
children" that they do not scrap
occasionally. The family health is
discussed a good deal by the parents
in the presence of the youngsters, and
tht. two uvUb held to be the very worst
that can be feared are microbes and
drafts. The other morning the boys
got Into a wrangle.
"Oh, you're a microbe," hissed the
elder in his anger.
That dreadful epithet had never been
applied to the other before, and for a
moment he w?9 stunned by the insult.
He tried to come bock at bis brother,
but at first he was at a Ions what to
say. "You? you?you're another." ho
