THE commission of the new postmaster
at Lordsburg reads Don: II. Hedzie, in
stead OF Kedzie. Il would be well for the
editor to learn to write, or else employ a
young lady type writer as a private secre-
tary. Some people may be Of the opinion,
that a man who writes so poorly that his
name cannot be read is Lardly qualified
for so important a federal appointment as
postmaster at Lordsburg. This is a mis-.
take, as that other great editor, Horace
Greedy, was quite as famous a chirographi-
cal expert as Kedzie.-Enterprise.
Mr.. Greedy was also equally famous il
other particulars. However, all is well
that euds well. A new appointment ar
rived this week and on il the name wa.
properly spelled.

IT is reported that Col. S. NJ. Ashen-
felter and Gov. Ross have purchased the
Deming Headlight and that on the FIRST Of
the coming month the Governor will take
possession of the outfit. The LIBERAL is
happy to welcome such distinguished gen
tlemen to the ranks of Grant county news
papermen, and expects to read a series Of
editorials which will equal the celebrat-
ed veto messages. One thing, however,
is certain the Headlight will hereafter be
known as a straight out democratic paper
and not be on the fence at election time.

THE New Mexican presents some curl

1887, Of the district court Of San Miguel
county the clerks fees amounted to the
sum Of $1,000; for the May term, 1893,
they amounted to 81, O87. s5j for the May
term, 1889, they amounted 10 S26l.11.
Now there has been no great ~diminution
in the legal business before the court, but
the law has been changed so that now the
fees are turned over to the territoiia

DEPEW ON TOBACCO.

Why the Railroad Magnate Gave Up the

The following remarks are attributed
to Mr.. Chauncey M. Depew, the Presi-
dent of the New York Central railroad,
and well known for his prominence in
affairs of public interest. His example
and experience are instructive to young
men everywhere:
Il was a confirmed smoker, smoking
twenty cigars a day, zap to about
dozen years ago, when ] gave up the
habit. I do not now use tobacco
Twelve or thirteen years ago I found
myself suffering from indigestion, with
wakeful fits at night, nervousness and
Inability to submit to much mental
strain. was in the city of Albany one
day, and bought a twenty-five cent
Partaga. WAS walkingup Broadway,
and at the corner of State street took
the cigar cut of my mouth and looked
at it. had smoked about an inch. OF
it. A thought struck me. 7 had been
reading a German savant's book on the
unhealthfulness of the use of tobacco.
[ looked at my cigar, and said, you
are responsible for this mischief l
threw that Partaga into the gutter and
resolved not to smoke again. For six
months suffered the torrents of the
damned. wanted to smoke, but
resolutely refused. Myappetite, mean
while, was growing better, my sleep
was growing sounder, and I could do
more work. After I had worked con-
tinuously one day. late at night
thought I would try a cigar as sooth-
ing influence. lighted cigar; it was
delicious. I enjoyed the aroma of the
smoke and the pleasure of the cigar
more than can say The next day
smoked four cigars, and the next two.
1 found that the use of tobacco was af-
fec@ing my physical tystem, and !
stopped it entirely, and have not COM
menced again, and probably never
shall. "-Phrenologica journal.

somethin' to eat. Poor things! an they get
caught every time they make a mistake in
their work. an nibble the wrong food. pll
feed 'em now without tryin' to catch 'em. y
For a brief instant Jim Poulder forgot his
own lonesomeness in his endeavor to make
the fishes in the stream happy, and ne
leaned over the bright, gurgling brook as
he threw all of his bait away, and watched
it while it was eagerly devoured by this
creatures of the water. He did not know
that in this simple act he was learning one
of the greatest lessons of life; that the best
panacea for ennui is to turn the mind and
energies towards the helping of others, and
thereby making the lot Of sufferers happier
and more endurable.
The next morning Jim Poulder was uI
bright and early, but his father had antici.

| mails He could really do nothing before
breakfast, and he returned to the house a
little disappointed, though still strong in
the resolution that he had made the pre-.

oughly disguised with himself, and ha
meant to make his apology by actions as
| well as by words.
Father, want to do my regular worl;
to-day" he said, boldly, as he saw his fathe,
getting ready to leave for the woods. '.I,m
tired of idleness"
Mr.. Poulder looked at his son for q briel
instant, while peculiar CLEAN of satisfac
ton came into his dark eyes. He did moi
answer for moment but lot the boy have
time to hide his blushing face from his gaze
1.-THE other day you were tired of work
now you're tired of play. Isn't that rather
contradictory, Jim!''
then. acant to arork ,,ow. I've got to hey
somethin' ter do. It's too lonesome up here
! TO loaf. 1t don't agree with me-
Thelmpulsiveboy blurted out the sentence,
so forcibiy that his father could not doubt
his earnestness, and the two rode away t
the woods together. 1t was clear sum
mer's day, and the air was sweet with the
scent of wild mountain flowers. Similar
days had been enjoyed before in the woods
but mono seemed so bright to- Jim as this
particular morning when he chopped the
great trees down by the side of his fathe1
and forgot all of his complaints in his work
His two holidays had taught him lessor
that he never forgot, for, after all, he CON
Guided that work was the greatest blessing
that is given to young men on this earth.
His love and respect for his father were
also increased by the little incident in hi
monotonous life. Instead OF reproving him
in violent words, Mr.. Poulder had laugh
him the folly Of his wishes by letting hin
feelit himself, which, after all, is the keen
est punishment that can be devised. jim
was bright enough to see the subtlety O.
his fathers actions, and he admired tn,
