Notice to Creditors. >iu?&*jte Jose Eemarez sat on the simfiy side of his patio and cotmted himself a happy man, and he had Treason. The smi was warm, his crops were bountiful, and Luisita was his. In bis complacency he did not see the vengeful glance of his one time rival as the dark figure- of Pablo Varo sauntered by. He sat and smoked, with the fatuous smile born of the pride of possession, incapable of any emotion beyond his simple two ply nature—his love for Luisita and his hatred for Pablo. t nothing of the situation was on Pablo as he swung \by with long, loose strides. His manner denly lost all its devil may care •ence, for Jose's self com- Icency stung him more keenly than Luisita's inconstancy; Bah! How he would like to, run him through with his stiletto—the little, at necked puerco! The sight of e sitting so contentedly under his own vine and—fig tree goaded him beyond the last notch of en- durance, and his ire was better di- rected than he guessed, for it was those very vines and fig trees that- had wrought Luisita's decision. Luisita was a nice girl, with brown eyes and trim ankles and the usual amount of romanticism in her head about marrying for love, and all that. She loved Pablo and had admitted as much to him, but there were younger sisters in her family to be considered, and the paternal authority had stepped in and assert- ed itself in favor of Jose and \his broad acres in the fertile Santa Ynez valley. So, with a few de- spairing sniffs and an unctuous feeling of martyrdom, she had duti- fully yielded her point and straight- way plunged into the details of her trousseau, solaced by the prospect of going to her martyrdom in a sat- in gown. If Jose had flaunted his success openly in Pablo's face, if he had taunted him with his defeat, then he might have challenged him to fight and at least have had the satis- faction of giving' him a sound thrashing. But this ineffable self complacency was beyond his reach. Even he, Pablo, could not thrash a man for sitting in his own patio and smirking to himself. Still the more he thought about it the more deter- mined he waB that he must thrash him, and, suiting the action to the •thought, he faced about and made for Jose's viae clad patio. He would whip him; yes, and soundly too. But he. must make Jose strike first, in order that he might not be. culpa- ble in Luisita's' eyes. Jose had not changed his posi- tion or expression, for every smoke wreath framed a pieture-of Luisita's brown eyes and trim little ankles. When Pablo appeared so suddenly before him, black with rage, Jose batted his beady little eyes nervous- ly in the effort of focusing his thoughts on a nearer and less pleas- ant object. He did not look at all like a man who might be easily de-\ coyed into a .fight, but Pablo was de- termined. With a threatening ges- ture, he sidled up to the gate. \Come out here, you coward,\ he commanded. \I have a score to settle with you.\ Jose, basking in his complacent mood, was loath to see it go. \You come in here and have a cigarette with me,? he answered, deeming it 'wiser not to notice the manner and tone of Pablo.- \Not If returned Pablo. \I do not smoke with such as you, yon miserable little cur. Come out here while,I wipe the ground up with Pablo was twice Jose's size, and it required no great stretch of the im-, agination of the latter, to see him- .self made into a mop in Ms tor- mentor's brawny arms7*so he grew more and more conciliatory. \Come^in .and have a glass of wine with me. • It is made on my own place,\ he ventured. The pic- ture of the unlovely; front he would present to Luisita with his nose bro- ken and his teeth gone* made Mm wary. Could he have \done Pablo fcn underhanded' mischief to, any ex- tent, he would have availed himself\ of the opportunity, but to fight-^- ijeveri It was un-Christiaiu The UB|ortunate hazard about Ids own' ssdiitage, howeveip^took the form in Pablo's mind of a taunt of his pps- sessions. \Come oil;\ he cried, '^ou miser- able* skulMug, tMe^ing, lying' tow- ard! I dare you to come out arid fight me like a man! You're afraid. te-^rfra&i* edging up closer arid closer as Jose> for the first; time, shifted his position arid looked at him undecidedly. - ' ^Oj\ he finally answered, as if weighing- the charge; <f rio, f m not that.

Jose had m (fancy to? «trial of their strehjfch, *No# he persisted inipertmrhahjy} \you-^riow I'm not that, and jmi+&itej mvtib misted enJfyouiiiiftthanw}j«tI»m,' - PaTjlo menaeeaV threatened* tan- talized, ' thrusting his clinched fist- into Jose's face, offering every iri-' dignity a„ man will not igke to make him strike out, but he would not, for Jose, considering the disparity of their size, was thoroughly con-* vineed that fighting was xtn-€Jhxis- tian. ' ~~ Baffled and exhausted, Pablo stamped and swore Tike a madman. \Stay there, then,\ he fairly shriek- ed. \Stay there in your seat till you stick to it! Sit under your accursed vines till yduTdte and rot, and may everything you touch die and rot, you and the woman you have stolen from me, you thieving, lying half breed mongrel! May she bring a curse »to whomsoever touches, her, and may- her children grow up to curse their father and bring, dis.- gracenpon their own heads! You offi- scouring, you plague \spot you. low flung, underhanded sneak thief, you—you\— Breathless and exhausted, words failed him. But as he disappeared around the corner, shaken with his wrath, he still muttered execrations between his teeth. In the blindness of his ^rage he did not notice the ef- fect his words bad had. Under the tirade of his curse Jose had changed color and gone from pasty yellow to streaked blue. Now he arose stiffly and backed, through the \doorway his eyes still turned in the direction Pablo had taken, as if expecting to see his curse descend in visible form. All his self satisfaction, all his smirking complacency, was suddenly gone. Pablo's-tremendous rage and terrible earnestness as he stood over him and glowered, red eyed and fu- rious, into his face so terrified the little man that he was like to faint. He turned his ashen face toward the window and would not have been surprised to see Pablo's form, with cloven hoofs and fiery breath, riding through the air, while his upwrought' fancy supplied the hiss- ing tone, <c May she bring a curse to whomsoever touches her; may she, may you\— : Madre de Dios, he was a- r.uined man, for this was Good Friday and the change of the moon! Many were the curses he had known to have been called down in this way, leav- ing a train of desolation and de- struction in their wake. Old Juan Tienda was now crawling about on crutches because the Palli brothers pronounced a curse upon the feet that had carried their sheep away, and he well remembered the time his father's-horses had all died of glanders because there was a curse upon them, Jose had never pene- trated beyond the confines of his little valley, and the local traditions and superstitions of the Santa Ynez bounded his mental horizon. Until the shadows grew long-and cold he sat and cowered in his cor- ner, his mind circling around those awful words and the Mght that would surely- .follow. Turn which way he might, his doom confronted him, and there was no escape. «He felt himself powerless,, in Pablo's hands, and the scathing words, that had burned themselves into the core of his soul, rang the changes on \May she bring a curse!\ till the perspiration stood out on hisj fore- Lead and the gooseflesh on his body as he waited, not knowing when the curse might descend. But with the coining of the morn- ing there came a sudden flash of illumination. A quick light leaped into his eyei, for the words \mav whomsoever\ took on a new mean- ing to him. In the attitude of mind that says \You're another!\ Jose bounded to his feet with a definite plan. He began to see the possibili- ty of. outwitting Pablo by shifting this deep crimson curse to his (Pa- blo's) own head. To see him blight- ed by his own curse, withered by his own words, starving, begging from door to door, dying like a-dog in the streets^ accursed by his own flesh and blood, would be worth any price. It was still early. whefi-Joie, puff- ing from the briskness of his\ walk, found his way to the home of th§ lovely Luisita, His presence at so early an hour toot the household by surprise. He found, the trim an-. kles guiltless of any -disguise and the cloud of soft ringlets\ through which the lovely brown eyes were, wont\to glance at him, screwed .up- into mysterious little knobs all over her head. ; « / 2Jotvnthstandmg r ^.t the sight of- her his courage almost failed him.

He saw things and did things he would, have thought be- yond, belief in \the shadow of his own little patio and *ieturned at length with his horizon a trifle broader,\but his longing to gloat over his fallen rival no whit abated. So promptly the day after he reach- ed home he betook himself to see ^the desolation wrought upon Pablo during his absence, to .taunt him withjfche curse wherewith he had niined himself, to repeat the* wordt \Stay there, then, till you die!\'and so. on, for he had it all at his tongue's end and_ would repeat it slowly while he watched his victim writhe and cringe before him. * But as he made his way down the little, crooked street, his lips mov- ing with the monologue he was pre-' paring, he stopped suddenly, and his ^aw^ dropped. There sat Pablo Varo on \the sunny side of a little patio, looking the very happiest of men, and with good reason. The sun was warm, the subject of Crops didn't bother, him in the least, and. Luisita, nestling beside hirJ with the nina on her lap, was irjcontestably his. Not until then did Jose realize that he had outwitted Himself and that he was many times a fool.—Argo- naut. -USED HER TEETH. \It is strange,\ remarked Mr! Manhattan, a refined looking wom- an, whose 40 years of life had been .passed in one house, \that people are so careless nowadays in giv- ing recoinmendations to servants. Things have changed in that re- spect as. well as in many other ways siriee I began housekeeping.\ . \You have always kept your serv- ants so long,\ said a listener, a young married* woman, \that I thought you never had any trouble with servants.\ \Well responded Mrs. Manhat- tan, \the maid, that always answer- ed my doorbell'—you know, I prefer maids to manservants in the house —left me last week, and I advertis- ed for another housemaid. Among the many that applied for the posi- tion was a young woman who had a very nice letter of recommendation from Mrs. Newlyrich. I engaged her. Yesterday I heard my new maid say to one oi my friends who had called: 'Just put your card be- tween my teeth, ma'am.. My hands are wet/ \—Exchange • * HE WOULD TRAVEL. Once in awhile one sees in some New England village people who, have scarcely, set foot outside the narrow limits of their own township in the course of their lives. These people, even in their most wide awake and vigorous years, have a way of measuring the outside world \by their own simple standards which is quite refreshing. - . \\What should you do if you had money, William?-\ inquired one 'of the group gathered around the big fireplace in the little inn or tavern at Hilltown of, the tavern keeper, who was counted a man of wide ex- perience and wisdom.\ hy his friends. \The first thing I should do,\ said William judicially, \is what I would advise any one-to do — fix up my home a bit, make a few. improve- ments in the old place, and then,\ impressively—\then I should trav- el. . \Yes he added, with an air as of one already started on his jour-, neyings, \I should certainty travel.

SHE WAS SARCASTIC. Her Thanks Upon Getting a> Seat In a Street Oar. Members of the smart set, going home' from the theatdr, filled' the Madison ayenue car, and every one tpok the squeezing in the best possi- ble \humor. At one corner a fat young woman got on. She was dress- ed in fine style and evidently felt her own importance greatly. She managed to catch hold of a strap arid hung almost suspended, as she was rather short. She swung right and left with every motion of the frying car and tried to bring herself into the genial company of people, who were nearly all friends, but all her advances toward an understand- ing with them bore no fruit, and she was' left frigidly alone, and yet she did not seem to notice that her words were all addressed to the air. At last,.after she had stepped on everybody's feet and bumped up against everybody two or three times, a gentleman stood up'from the seat where he had been reading with diligence all this- time and said: \Madam you can have my seat.\ Saying that, he lifted his hat and arted out. She bowed and replied in a loud voice, so that every one heard her,- and said: \Oh thank you, kind sir. I ean- not sufficiently express my grati- tude—no one could—and all I can say is that I beg you to-accept my most earnest thanks. I • shall re- member you in my prayers, for you are so generous.\ By this time the man was red as a beet and could not escape until the car stopped. Nearly all the pas- sengers were amused by the affair, but when he'got to the door the woman had reached the\ seat and said loudly to everybody, \He might have taken it along, and it was so kind of him to leave it.\ — Mew York Herald. AN ISLAND THAT CHANGES COLOR. Think\ of an island that changes color every day—an island that vi- brates between a bilious yellow and an apoplectic purple! 'Yet sueh an island exists in the gulf of Mexico a day's sail from New Orleans; only a small island, with the greater por- tion of it a broad, low -beach, which for a long time was quite mysteri- ous in its complexion. But the mystery has been solved, and, like all mysteries after careful investigation, it turns- out to be. a simple, ^easily understood phenome- non. That the beach of this island should show the usual neutral sand color was to be expected, but why, after the tide had receded from it, it should begin to grow purple at its upper edge and continue to change to that color until the ap- pearance of sand was entirely gone- was the mystery, particularly to those who did not go near enough to see what made the change. It is all on account of millions of purple snails .^hich crawl down the beach in the wake of the ebbing tide and again retreat as it begins to ri§e. NoW this changeable bit of earth is known as Snail island. OVBBT03P TOUR BUSINESS. A Epxopean traveler'tells of the following epitaph which he read on a tombstone in England: \Here lies — •—; he was born a man, but died a grocer.\ The man had disappear- ed in his calling. We often find that a man's vocation has swallowed- him; that it* has completely over- whelmed him; that thereds nothing left of him for any purpose outside his occupation. It is a contemptible estimate of a vocation to regard it as the means of getting a living, .The, man who ig n.ot gyeatef than his ealling> who does not overtop his voeatidri, so that it runs over on all sides, is not successful. .A man shomd be greater;- tb.an the books he writes, greater than ahy speech he makes, than ariy kouseihd builds a? any sermon he preaches.—Success. - mS IKEA OF MANKINU.

HeeSless to say,? that lace was also very ea?- p^isive. He'immediately sent one of his subordinates over to - the rival store 5 ' with instructions to buy half* a yard of the aforesaid lace:, This he huri§F up in a conspicuous position with a very legible price mark attached; and the price marked was very rea- sonable. Then he gave some in- structions to the girls behind the' counter arid retired to await devel- opments. - Two shoppers soon happened along that way, and the pieee of lace eaught their, attention: \Isn't that just too beautiful!\ exclaimed one of them. But instead of answering her di- rectly her companion grasped her by the arm and whispered excitedly, \Look at the price 1 In answer to their eager questions the shopgirl answered nonchalant-. lj: - ' \That there lace? I don't think, we've got any more. Wait a miri\- ute.\ The two women waited while thes- girl consulted long and seriously with one of her fellows. The con- •sultation was about a dance which was to take place that evening, but the would be customers never knew the difference.- When it was over, the girl returned and informed them 7 : \Sony but we're all out of that lace. Guess you can get some over in Blank's,. though,\ mentioning the rival establishment. The two women hurried away, fearing that Ihe sup- ply in the other store might also be exhausted before their arrival. Xt wasn't, but they: did not buy any lace, and, furthermore, they advised all their friends to shop at Dash's, because the prices there are so rea- sonable. ''But,\ they added, \you've got to get there early or'the nicest things will be all sold out.\—New York Sun. i#i i- - „ *- iJ 1 f : t a , ?1 ^ t ^.^ *:*»&*, **< HE SANG HIMSELF.

Prior to moving his family to Minnesota in the fifties Ignatius Donnelly made the trip alone in the winter to the state, being obliged at that time to make part oi the ' [journey by stage, on the jce, from Dubuque. The first. morning- outj with the prospect of several days' companionship before them, the whole party rode along in f glum si-r lence. To a man of Mr. Donnelly's \• cheerful and- convivial ,temper tips was very distressing. At last he could' stand it no longer and ad- dressed the crowd generally. v \Ladies and gentlemen,\ said he, \this will never do. It we, are t'd ride this way for a week, \we shaE; all be lunatics. Can't some one tell a story ?\ .. , There was dead silence. Wo one even smiled. When addressed indi- vidually, they all shook their heads* Then he asked if any of them coul$ sing a song. No one of them could. \Then said he, \I'll sing a song, myself.\ ' ' Now, if there was any one thing - among his various aecomplishmejits* that* he eoUld riot do it was to sing a song to any recognized tune.
