Civilization and progression go hand
in hand, at least they ought to. Wheth-
er civilization is taxing hold in Cana
da dc Alamosa or not progression is
getting in lick or two on the square.
The fact that thresbing machine has
made its advent into remote Mexican
settlement is startling to the general
observer. The question of what use
the sheep and goats can be put to will
be likely to agitate the native mind.

once threshed without the means of
these quadrupeds, may be free from
the many impurities and additions
that add to both its flavor and weight.
NJ. e. Levy has pony with a tenn
perament so high strung that It can
not even bear the annoyance of Il load.
So, when NJ. &. went to fetch it in We'd
nesday, he concluded after Il trial, to
walk home and allow his hombre to
do the heavy work. The hombre re-
joices in the historical name of Jesus,
SO when he had got, as he supposed in
good position, he began to gently urge
that pony to move and with SUCH good
effect that Jesus soon lay sprawling in
Blun's duck pond.

natures of mineral rock in the bottom
of the shaft, and shows up we'll enough
to warrant more work being done

gineer and AoEtle washer. To say that
he was flying around would sound like
a whisper in clap of thunder. His
instructions free of course) were giy-

astoniShed a tisherwoman. He knows
all about it. The cookie box under his
generous manipulation became a tool
chest, and the straw carriers, Ivy the
simple twisting of belt, started fight
ing, each refusing to take from the
other, and threw straw at one another
till they were crowded out. This
didn't exactly suit Tom, so to make
things interesting he stuck his finger
among the machinery and pulled it out
bowling. Any man that says Tom
don't know how to run threshing ma
chine, is goat of the worst kind.
