Hon. PEDRO PEREA's bill to fix and es-
tablish the compensation of district court
clerks is by far one of the very best meas
ures introduced in the legislative assem-
bly,, and ought to become law by all
means. 1t will save the territory, accord
ing to the best data obtainable, at least
100000 per year, and litigants from $50, 000
to $75,0O0per yer. For the past four years
this system of clerks fees has been
elaborated and built upon and improved
that is from the district clerks views to
an alarming extent. The New MEXICAN
understand that some of the deputies, for
work wherein they do not actually earn
$50 or SIS per month, receive from
1925 to $3.50 per month.
This information comes reliably.
The clerks fees can not be reduced any
too soon. Three thousand dollars year
Is very good pay. The governor, the
judges, the surveyor general, the land
officers do not receive any more than that
from the federal government, and their
Offices are quite as important as those Of
the clerks Of the district courts. Besides
the pay from the territory, the clerks will
receive ices from United States cases,
which will bring their compensation up
to about S., 900 to $4,000 per year. Quite

A Train Callers Gibberish.

Jaw Dor, bin thar, poly an wa-ay

black-mustached train-c caller at the
Broad Street station, says the Philadel-
phia Rec ord. A hundred anxious peo-
pie who were impatiently waiting for
their train glanced imploringly at the
young man and then looked at one an
other in despair. The woe-begone ex-
preston on the faces OF all, trar slated
meant: What did he say?"
Nobody could tell, and up to the
train-caller they ran and beseehcingly
asked:
"Oh, what train was that?"
"For Bryn Mawr Paoli and way sta
tions, l said" answered the brass but
toned individual with disgustful look
that seemed to say: "Are you deaf?"
A reporter who stood near by had
been listening TO the train calls for the
past half hour trying his best to inter-
pref them, but it was OF no use The
train caller might have yelled in Greek.
Hebrew or Chinese, and could not have
been understood less

with decided nasal twang and in q
louder key than usual. He didn't like
to be misunderstood. An impatient
man ran up to the train-caller hurried

Indignantly responded the train Off

"Oh! thought you said hash pitcher.
or something like that-beg pardon"
A Harrisburg reader Of the Record
writes to learn what this cry OF the
Broad Street station caller means,
which he scrubbed down recently:

The cry, scribbled on piece OF pa
per, was shown to the train caller yes
terday. "Humph, that means Harris

tired look. my! but people are deaf"

THANKSGIVING wlsHBoNE.

Jenny and Johuny, and Albert and Mary,
Sat at the table on Thanksgiving Day.
The turkey, all stuffed, AMI basted, and
brown,
Upon u big platter was turned upside down;
With It's legs pointing skywarJ, its wings
pinioned back,
AS old Farmer johnson begun the attack
He carved nice piece from the rich steam
ing breast,
And PASSED to his wIfc-the FIRST piece, and
best
Then said Now Miss Jennie, what cut do

Some white meat or dark, or leg, or

She WAS guest, and a sweet pretty thing
OF some eighteen years, and the farmers
boy Johnnie
Thought never damsel was one half SO

The farmers boy Albert, was equally sure
That May Jennies sister--his heartache
- could cure.
And so these two sisters, by special re-
quest
Were there to take dinner, dressed up in
their best
Jenny was pretty, and dainty, though vain,
While May was more sensible, homey aud
plain.
"Give Jennie the wishbonc," said Johnnie
NJ last;
Accordingly, to her the wishbone was
passed.
And all the while that her dinner she ate,
The wishbone was resting close by her
plate.
With united action, they all waded In,
Till their knives and their forks made a
regular din.
The turkey, when finally laid on the shelf,
Was only wreck OF its once gorgeous
self
The squash, and potatoes, and cranberry
sauce,
And mince pie and pumpkin, with crust all
embossed,
Had each done its duty, ana every one
Drew back and declared tho dinner was
done.
'Now then, who will wishl" cried Jennie,
the fair.
AS high up she held the wishbone in air
Il willr said they ali, and then came q
scuffle
Jnsomuch that the wishbone was lost in tho
shuttle
May was the first one the wishbonc TO
And pursued by Johnnie, she quickly did
fly
Clear through the sitting room into the
hall,
In chamber; in cellar; in parlor and all,
Then from sheer exhaustion dropped into a
char,
With cheeks all aglow, and tumbled down
hair:
And Johnny rushed up and without more
ado
Smacked kiss on her lips, and l don't
know but two
'Lct us wish" said May, for ! still have
the bone,
1t is due you l think, for your chase to
atone
Now dear reader, we ought to have told you
tefore,
That though May liked Albert she loved
Johnnie more,
And her honest wish, when she pulled on
that Lone
Was, that some Gay she might have him all
for her own.
They pulled on the wishbone, and May won
the toss,
But what was her gain was by nomeans his
loss.
For from that very minute, affairs took
turn,
And Johnnie and May are so friendly, We
learn,
That when Thanksgiving Day again takes
its place,
They'll have hooked up together for lifes
rugged race.
We know not what Alfred and Jennie will
DO,
But the neighbors all think they will get
married too.
Now May is ready at all times 70 own
That there's boundless virtue in turkeys
