The counsel was rather skeptical about this, whereupon the judge said: "There is nothing unusual in that Why, only this morning I left my watch on the dressing table and did not recollect it till, before entering the court, I wanted to find out the time." When the judge got home he found that a messenger had visited the house, mentioned the judge's forgetfulness, described where the watch was and asked for it to take to the owner.

The "Seven Cities" were found to be a great mart for buffalo robes, turquoise and other articles of barter, and the adventurers determined to press on to the land of the "big oxen," eight days' journey from Cibola. They crossed the Rio Grande and journeyed several days in a northwesterly direction, where they "met with a new kind of oxen, wild and fierce, whereof the first day they killed fourscore, which sufficed the army with flesh." This is the first known account of the buffalo or bison.

Cibola or Cevola is the Spanish for bison or "Mexican bull." In December, 1540, the forces left behind wealth in vessels of silver and gold and in ornaments of rare and costly stones, and to assure himself of the fact he sent a monk, Friar Xiza, to visit the Indian, dwelling in the region answering to the present New Mexico.

He saith the houses are of lime and of stone, according as others have told me before, and that the gates and small pillars of the principal houses are of turqueses (turquoise) and all the vessels wherein thej are served and the other ornaments ol their houses were of gold, and that the other six cities are built like unto this, whereof some are bigger.

Exploring and buffalo hunting occupied the whole of the year of 1541, and in the spring of 1542 the expedition was still at Tiguex, and an accident to Coronado hastened if it did not cause its return to Mexico. The captain general one day fell from his horse and soon afterward showed signs of insanity.

Despite the wishes of Don Mendoza and of his counselors in the expedition, he decided to abandon the project and march home again. The Spaniards in Mexico were anxious to occupy the new-territory and people it by colonization, but Coronado insisted that the scheme was impossible. A Spanish colony, he declared, could not defend itself or be subsisted so far from home. The Spanish historians, however, naively state that Coronado's love of ease and the attractions of his private wealth and his fair young wife got the better of his adventurous spirit. He had married a beautiful Spanish bride addicted to the practice of "taking a pinch" in their presence.

After passing Little Colorado river the explorers drew near to the "Seven Cities," and a small force of Indians appeared to dispute the advance.

These Coronado quickly dispersed and then marched upon the first city to attack it. The Indians retired to the roofs of their curiously built houses or pueblos, and rained down arrows and stones upon the daring assailants.

Deafness Can't be Cured. By local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucus lining of the Eustachian Tube, When this gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the result and unless the inflamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Mention this Paper COIWNADO ON THE MARCH, this wild and daring enterprise, and he already possessed a fortune in hand exceeding all that he had seen in the region around Cibola. The army started back from Tiguex, retracing its steps to Cibola, the last inhabited point before entering the desert.

Here it rested and laid in supplies for the journey through the wilds. The ground marched over by Coronado's band was 4,000 miles in extent. Very little damage had been done to the people, and the soil had been prepared for future occupation by the Spaniards. During the fifty years succeeding the march the whole region was subjugated, and those old Spanish settlements now marked by picturesque crumbling ruins were founded in New Mexico and Arizona. The Indians met with by Coronado were of that race of semicivilized people called Pueblos from their permanent villages, as described in the explorer's narrative.

Their villages, both semicircular and square, were in existence at the beginning of this century, and the ruins of others dating back to Coronado's time are still found near the Rio Grande, Little Colorado and Gila rivers. The exact points designated in the narratives of Coronado and his companions have not been determined by modern travelers. The Pueblos' ruins of Zuni in New Mexico, at tbe head of the Little Colorado, are thought to be one of the "Seven Cities" because of a close resemblance to the descriptions of the country and of the structures found by Coronado. His march penetrated at least to the region of snow and of intense cold and to the ranges of buffalo and antelope, and that would indicate northeastern New Mexico. There are many pueblos or villages tlfat seem to be identical with Cibola, and others not yet explored may furnish conclusive evidence of belonging to the famed "Seven Cities," and the treasures which were spirited away on the approach of the bold invader, as related, may yet come to light in hidden caverns of the hills or in the cellars of the communal houses or villages.

TRULY A FRIEND IN NEED. The following is a true story which happened to me and an artist friend of mine. At 11 o'clock p. m.

we were about leaving a small house in one of the avenues radiating from the Arc-de-Trioinphe, where we had spent the evening. Unfortunately, however, the concierge cordon was broken and he could not find the key. It was impossible for us to get out by the door or for those of the tenants of the house who were abroad to get in. The concierge begged a tenant on the ground floor to let us get out by one of his windows and we promised to go after a locksmith. All the shops were shut, however, and none of the locksmiths in the quarter would take the trouble to answer when we rang the bell Under the circumstances the proper thing to do was to hail a policeman, but never a sergeant de ville could we find, though we went a long way down each of the avenues in turn.

Failing to find an officer we asked where was the nearest police station. The one in the Tornes quarter had been shut up for a couple of hours, the one at Batignolles the same, and at a third we were simply sent about our business. It was now 1 o'clock in the morning, and a long line of benighted tenants was drawn up before the fast closed door. We their would be deliverers were beginning to lose courage when a very suspicious looking individual there were a good many of that sort about stumbled against us. My friend the artist, who had all his wits about him, stopped the man quietly, and taking off his hat said, "I beg your pardon, sir, but you don't happen to have a jimmy and a set of skeleton keys in your pocket?" The man looked at both of us suspiciously for a moment and then whispered, "Is it to crack a crib?" The painter briefly explained the difficulty and the service required.

"All right," said the mysterious one, "but clear off the crowd. I don't want to give free lessons." We returned to the house, announced that a locksmith had been found, and begged the benighted ones to give him a wide berth. They let him pas3, the lock was picked in the twinkling of an eye and the night prowler was overwhelmed with thanks.

After the conquest Coronado put aside the sword for the pen and wrote to his viceroy, Don Mendoza, a very different account of the "Seven Cities" from that brought to Mexico by the monk who had spied out the land the year before. Frankly he wrote: "It remaiueth now to certify, your honor, of the seven cities and of the kingdoms and provinces whereof the father provincial made report unto your lordship. And, to be briof, I can assure your honor ho said the tAth in nothing that he reported, but ail was quite contrary, saving only the names of the cities and great houses of stone; for, al though they be not wrought with turqueses, nor' with lime, nor bricks, yet are they very excellent houses of three or four or five lofts high, wherein are good lodgings and fair chambers, with ladders in- Various Uses for Seeds.
