WITH CARBOLIC ACID

ted Torrey.
Victoriano Barrera aged 23 years a
waiter by occupation ended his life
this morning shortly after 11 o'clock
by drinking carbolic acid. The young
man ad apted this terrible method of
avoiding to answer a charge of as-
sault and battery in the county court
which was set for trial tomorrow.
"Will Not Work Tomorrow."
Thus spoke Victoriano Barrera this
morning when he entered the restau-
rant conducted by O. Gross at 210 East
Commerce street
“I will not work tomorrow and will
have to lay off as I have a case in
court.” exclaimed Barrera. It was
shortly afterwards that he swallowed
the deadly draught that ended his .
earthly existence.
Unconscious When Found.
A few minutes after 11 o’clock Bar-
rera was seen to enter an outhouse in
the rear of the restaurant. He
emerged therefrom in a few sec-
onds and was expectorating vio-
lently and holding his hands to his
stomach. He staggered along for a
distance of about fifteen feet and fell
to the ground just outside the kitch
en. The cooks in the kitchen saw
him and upon seeing him fall rushed

opinion was unofficially expressed that
a strike cannot be avoided.
It. i g understood that agents acting
for the company expect to mobilize a
force of at least 1000. The first clause
of the contracts with the men speci-
fies that the applicant “fully under-
stands that th fa is for strike work in
the city of New York.” Those who
desert are to receive no pay what
ever.
In some quarters it was reported
thet an ultimatum had been prepared
for presentation to General Manager
Hedley and that all plans were ready
to call a strike in the absence of an
immediate settlement. Officials of the
labor unions controlling the railway
employes went up and down the lines
of tbe elevated and subway. It was re-

man. conductor guard and station
agent had been notified to be ready
at a moment's notice.
President Pepper of the Employers'
association refused to be interviewed.
He was reported to be in conference

DESERT SHEEP HERDERS.
Their Loarlr. Droerr TeaAa to
Drive Than Croay.
Do you realize ’••hat it means to
watch 5.000 sheep alone in the desert?
Tou have read weird grew some stories
of tbe horror of the solitary lighthouse
keeper's life but compared to the days
of tbe Mexican shepherd those of the
average keeper of the light are filled
with gayety and noise. Even with
tbelr one or two dogs tbe shepherds
often go Insane and were It not for the
company of their shaggy collies the
lunacy among them would rise to an
almost Incredible percentage if we are
to believe those who have followed the
■heep in tbe desert and therefore may
be supposed to know.
Once In old Santa Fe N. M. I met a
man who for twelve years had follow-
ed the sbeep. His work waa done. All
day long be sat In a chair In the rear
of a little dobe store crouched over
gibbering to himself bleating—an idiot
He still saw bls sheep swaying like a
great white wave among the sage-
brush and ever In hie ears sounded the
killing monotone of their bleats. One
boy. though fifteen years of age. Is
mentally no further advanced than the
average child of five. His father is a
shepherd bls mother died when be was
four years old and his father took him
out upon tbe range. All ills life has
been spent among tbe sheep. He is one
with them today.
How Is it possible then you nak. that
men are to be found willing to watch
them? It Is very easy. Sbeep herding
Is a lazy job at best and the “greaser”
is tbe laziest creature on earth. For $2O
a month be la willing to sit in the sand
and listen to the never ending bleating
until the little mind he has gives way
and they fetch him in from tbe range
Insane. He is glad to take tbe chance
for $2O a month.
The greaser is not the only shepherd
In tbe west. On tbe vast ranges of Ne-
vada and Wyoming you may run across
an occasional college man tending the
aheep. Once indeed a college professor
111 of consumption undertook to follow
5000 bleaters for the summer. In au-
tumn they found him insane on his
hands and knees among tbe sheep
bleating with them. Day after day bis
eyes behold only a brilliant turquoise
sky. in which bangs a sun of brass; an
ocean sweep of sage flecked sand and
a slowly moving compact mass of
sbeep. His ears bear no sound save the
steady “Baa baaT day and night af-
fecting him as the Chinese criminal of
ancient days was affected by tbe regu-
lar tap. tap of a bidden dram.
And yet so long as tbe desert contin-
ues to provide food for the "bleaters"
so long will shepherds go mad among
tbe flocks and for ten years tbe desert's
greatest value to man has been tbe
food it has offered tbe sheep nor yet is
the store depleted.—Pilgrim.
The Wickedness of Growln* Old.
Here are the three deadly symptoms
of old age: Selfishness stagnation in-
tolerance.
If we find them in ot rselves we may
know we are growing old. even if we
are on the merry side at thirty. But
happily we havetbree defenses which
are invulnerable. If we use them we
shall die young if we live to be a hun-
dred. They are: Sympathy progress
tolerance.
Tbe first is tbe hardest to most of
us because our own little prison of
the actual is so immensely important to
us. There is no denying tbe fact that
when you have a toothache yourself it
Is hard to have to consider other peo-
ple's aches. But it can be done though
it generally Involves physical effort for
we must bestir ourselves and act. The
mere feeling of sympathy expressed by
action Is a poor useless thing but tbe
soul determined not to grow old. can
fores the body to such physical effort
though there is no denying that it is
hard work.—Harper's Bazar.
Toothache.
Toothache Is something to be dread-
ed. Until a dentist can be consulted
and tbe exact cause of tbe disturbance
located and professionally treated it is
an excellent thing to moisten the Anger
and after dipping It into some bicar-
bonate of soda rub It on tbe gum round
the sore tooth. It Is also a relief to
mix a teaspoonful of this bicarbonate
of soda In half a glass of warm water
and rinse tbe mouth with some every
little while holding a little is the
mouth for a few seconds so tLjt it
penetrates all tbe crevices. The soda
being an alkali serves to neutralize tbe
acids in the mouth which are often the
cause of toothache.
Knew the Crowd.
A street preacher in a west of Scot-
land town called a policeman who was
passing and complained about being
annoyed by a certain section of tbe au-
dience and asked him to remove tbe
objectionable ones.
“Weel ye see” replied the cautions
officer "it would be a hard job for me
tae spot them but I’ll tell ye what I'd
dae if I were you.”
“What would you do?” eagerly In-
quired the preacher.
“Just gae round wT the hat!"
Hie Line.
"Yes” said the lecturer "I'm deal-
ing in furniture these days.”
"How is that?" asked a listener.
"Making one night stands under n
lecture bureau with tbe help of tbe
time tables.”—Baltimore American.
When tn Cat Weeds.
She—When should a young widow
discard her weeds? He—Oh. I don't
know but I suppose she should cut
them out just as soon as she wants to
raise a second crop of orange blossoms.

EVADING TEXAS.
Troupe Banne r says:
"Some people feel mighty poor when
the tax assessor approaches them.
They have worked all their lives and
have not accumulated anything and
their homesteads and personal belong-
ings are so insignificant as to be hard-
ly worth rendering. But when a real
estate man approaches them they
sing out of the other end of their
mouth. They possess the only really
desirable and valuable property In tbe
community. Do you spurn the Idea
of one's not being honest with his fel-
low man? Then you be honest with
the tax assessor who is but the rep-
resentative of your fellow men—the
community as it Is organized. Don't
perjure yourself in the rendition of
your property. By so doing you com-
mit the further wrong of cheating your
neighbor—tbe community.”
If ever? one paid their fair share of
taxes the rate would be comparatively
trifling. It is the tax bilker that is the
barnacle of the community.

An Important Whiakey Decleion.
A serious question was recently
raised In a suit brought against a
southern mail order whiskey house
with headquarters In Kentucky in the
Federal court at Parkersburg West
Virginia by which it was attempted
to compel the concern to take out a
revenue license in the district to
which the goods were sent as well
as from where they were shipped.
Judge Jackson of the Federal court
in deciding this suit held that only
one license was intended by the gov-
ernment the license necessary at the
point where the goods were made or
sold.
Had the decision been the reverse
it would have played havoc —until the
United States Supreme court had
finally decided the question—with the
mail order whiskey houses consider-
ing the many different points they are
shipping their goods to.
