WHEN it is considered how the pub- lie lands have been plundered and fraudulent means adopted by specula- tors to obtain possession of vast tracts of the public domain, the efforts of Con- missioner Sparks to gave the govern ment pstrimony for bona tide settlers will be commended by all good citizens. The opposition he is experiencing comes from those directly interested in some of the crooked transactions he is seeking to correct, and it IS but natural that they should s9ueal when the shoe pinches too hard. We think that Mir. Sparks is endeavoring to accomplish great good for the country and we wish him complete success in his properly directed efforts, even though it must temporarily oppress few who are act ing in good faith in their filings.

Dismal Account.

Postal Clerk Harry Josephs came in from La Junts yesterday and gave dis mai account Oi the snow blockade on the Aschison, Topeka S Santa Fe road, He says thst on Saturday there were s,.,y-hYe miles of sco- 10 be cleared away, which was being done by force of 800 men who had to work with pick and shovel. 90 tightly was the frozen snow packed. No sooner had they got a long stretch of track cleared, when another storm, the most furious known in Kansas for twenty years, not only blocked up all the work they had ac- complished that day, but also forty miles in addition. This is now cleared again and trains will be released ID time to reach Albuquerque tomorrow (Thurs-day). Mir. Josephs says that there were three hundred passengers at La Junta and one hundred and fifty more at Coolidge, and supplying food tor thIs large number taxed the resources of these places to their fullest extent. The male passengers passed the time ID hunting antelope, of which there were large herds in easy dIstsnce. The cat tie at present are in good condition and the reports that numbers have been kill ed by exposure are not true, at least so far as those coming from Coolidge and La Junts are concerned.-Albuqusrque Journal.

Origin Of Short-Horn Cattle.

This noble breed of bovines is of re-
mote origin. For some centuries previ-
GUS to the conquest of England by the
first William, in the year 1865, the war.
like Scandinavians of Denmark and
Sweden had made frequent predatory in
cursions into Northunbria. The object
of these incursions was conquest. plunder,
trade, and subjection of the Britons to
their rule and domination. Many of the
marauders settled in Northumbria, and
became incorporated with the natives by
marriage and succession of their fami-
lies, and so remained until the invading
forces were driven back to their own
shores under the power of the new con-
queror. As q consequence of the Scan
dinavian invasions commerce between
them and the Northumbrians became
frequent, and the cattle of the neighbor-
ing continent were more or less intro
duced ON to British soil. So far as we
can learn from imperfect history and
tradition, those cattle were large in size,
short in the horn, rather coarse frames,
the cows giving abundance of milk, and,
when fatted for slaughter, heavy weights
of beef of rather coarse quality. Their
colors were either pure white, or pale
red and white more or less intermixed
into roam, or brindled, sometimes red,
no other colors prevailing.
It has been from that ancient stock,
in all probability, that the grand creed
of improved short-horns has descended.

Persian MOONLIGHT.

The Persian moonlight seems capable
of surrounding the most commonplace
objects with halo of beauty and of
blending things that are nothing in them
selves into scenes of such transcendental
loveliness that the mere contemplation
of them sends thrill of pleasure
through the system. There is no city of
the same size in America but can boast Of
buildings infinitely superior to anything
in Teheran. What trees there are in and
about the city are nothing compared to
what we are used to having about us,
and, although the gates with their short
minars and gaudy colored bricks are GER
tainly unique, they suffer greatly from a
close investigation. Nevertheless, have
happened in the vicinity of one of these
gates on q calm moonlight night, and
have been positively transf1ed with as
tonishment at the beauty of the scene
presented. By repairing to the artillery
square or to the short street between the
square and the palace front on moon
light night one can experience an en-
tirely new sense of natures loveliness
the soft, chastening light of the Persian
noon converts the gaudy gates, the
struggling trees and the background of
snow covered mountains into picture
that will photograph itself on ones mem
ory forever.-Bo5ton Herald.
Don't.
Don't get up on each occasion following like
the bulls of Basham, and like loud
calliope crack the canopy with sound.
Don't be Of mouth the owner like the
whales that swallowed Jonah, and with
word Niagara cataracts deluge all the
country round.
Don't 60 off at every motion in dynamite
explosion, without an introductory, an
tecedsnt, hem or cough.
Don't on every single topic, grow profound
and philosophic, take your mouth for
ammunition and proceed to shoot it off.

Bulgaria and the Bulgarians.

The Bulgarians, though now regarded
as the principal division of the Slavs in
Turkey, were originally a Finnish tribe
living on the banks Of the Volga. They
penetrated into the Danube country in
the seventh century, took possession of
the territory now called by their name,
and established there an independent
kingdom. They soon made friends with
their Slavic neighbors, adopting their
language and customs. After a long
struggle with the Byzantine Fmperors,
the Bulgarians submitted in 1913 to their
power. The na'ion was governed by
Dukes appointed by the Emperor until
1886, when it freed itself by revolution,
and held its independence for two hun
dred years. In 1889 the Turks invaded
the country and in three years subdued
it. From that time for nearly five hun
dred years the unhappy country was
ground under the heel of the Ottoman
oppressor, only regaining its autonomy
By the help of the European powers In
1878. By the Berlin treaty Bulgaria was
created a self-governing, but tributary
prlncipality, under the protection of the
Sultan of Turkey. It was allowed the
choice Of its ruler, and in April, 1879,
the Bulgarian Constituent Assembly
elected young Prince Alexander OF Hesse
as sovereign for life. The government
of Bulgaria is administered by the Prince
aided BY council of seven ministers.
The legislative authority is vested in
National Assembly of two Chambers.
The upper house has twelve members,
four appointed by the Prince and eight
indirectly elected. The members of the
lower hou 9, or Chamber of Deputies, are
elected by universal manhood suffrage at
the rating of one member To every 10, 900
of the population. Their term of office
is four years. The Bulgarians are peace
able, industrious, and not unintelligent
people, though ignorant and supersti-
tious, as education is by no means gene
raj and centuries of oppression have al
most utterly destroyed the spirit of en-
terprise in them. The great majority of
the people live by agriculture and the
raising Of stock. The principal exports
are corn, wool, tallow, butter, cheese and
hides. The country has but 14o miles OF
railway. There are /, 1926 miles of tele-
graph, built and managed by the govern
ment. Civilization is at low ebb un-
doubtedly, but great advances have been
made since the people became self-goy-
ng.-Inter- OCEAN.

WOMAN'S WORLD.
PLEASANT LITERATURE FOR
FEMININE READERS
Samplers.

SdmptcTBs
A New York correspondent writes of
the revival of an old fashion:
Among the newest of the old fashions
which have lately come in vogue, are
samplers, those indicators of intense in
dustry, which were so tedious to work,
and amounted so little when completed.
They are not framed and hung up, as in
"ye olden time" How we'll remember
my mothers and grandmother'S, though
it is years since l saw them. The age
was always worked in, as well as the
date, and I recall, when just learning to
read, spelling out the fact that my grand
mother was ''aged eight years" at the
time she completed this dreadful needle
work, which, strange to say, was not the
death OF her, for she lived to a green. old
age. I am afraid I shall be .ott. .of:the
fashion, as I think our family "samblers,'
were destroyed or lost long o;.but
those of you who have them or can pro-
cure them, ,rbring them forth from their
hiding place in tbeiold chest in the gar:
ret, down into The drawing-room, for
they are considered one Of the most
aristocratic things to possess. It is sup
posed to show that your mothers orgrand-
mothers had dainty fingers, and did dainty
work, and proves, if they could work
samplers, that they were not drudges.
They sre positive proof of early cult
vstion, and as such are consequently
given a place. They may be used on the
corner of picture, an easel, or as a tidy,
or, prettier still, made up to hang on the
wall as banner, with small brass rings
at the top, which attach them to brass
rod.
