New MexicO's Cattle Are Healthy

ALBUQUERQUE, n. NJ, March 21.-
The cattle sanitary board Of this territory
reports that siace the enactment of the
quarantine law in 1887 against diseased
cattle being admitted no case of bovine
disease, and particularly Texas fever,
has appeared among the herds. The
cattle are everywhere in a healthy condi.
ton. The perfect health Of the bovine
stock in New Mexico during the time
the quarantine law has been in operation
proves conclusively that Texas fever does
not originate within the borders Of this
territory, and the law against its posi-
bic Introduction is so effectually admins
tered that it cannot be brought here.

ELI DIDN'T GET THERE


LINCOLN. Neh., March 20. Alas for
the ~frailties OF human nature. SO signs
the gentleman from Antelope, Represen-
taiive Coleman, a man who has passed
the meridian Of life and who ought TO
have been wiser and better than the
sequel of this story proves him to be.
For some weeks Coleman has been
paying assidious attention TO a Miss New
man one of the domestics Of the hotel
Ideal, one Of the best kept and most pop
ular hostelries in the city Of Lincoln.
Miss New man is a sweet faced lady,
somewhat v~oluptuous in form and a per
son OF honor and virtue. She bore the
forced attentions of Coleman in a man
ner becoming good breeding, but was nm
successful in her attempt TO draw the
line upon the advances Of the old schemer.
A night or two age his desires evidently
got the better of his judgment, and he
pushed a note under her door which read
as follows: Leave door open March 16.
Three raps If you will"
The contents of the note frightened
Miss Newman and she handed il to the
sister Of Host Trott's wife, one Of the
VA III httti I'LL Utttttttf
stated that she was afraid to sleep in her
room, The matter was her referred to
MIR. Trott and the lady was sent to an.
other Two gentlemen hoarders,
Mr.. Charles Mullen and Mr.. William f.
Painter, got wind of the affair and they
importuued Mr.. Trott for the privilege of
occupying the room Of the young lady
for thep purpose OF unearthing the Lo-
thario.
Consent was finally given, One of the
gentlemen, Nh. Painter, got into the lady
bed according to the plan. The three
raps were then given at the door. After
a little time Cat-l6e steps were heard in
the hall and the door of Miss Newman's
room was quickly opened and closed.
'Is ii all rigut, dear whispered the old
guy as he slipped up TO the bed.
Yes" was the answer that came back
softly.
Painters beardless face was deluged
with kisses. He stood it all right until
the opportunity came for him TO fasten
his arms around Coleman's neck, when he
shouted. Bring on the light, Charlie.
Let's see who is in our room"
There was a roar like that of a mad
bull, a lunge and scramble. and as the
light burst upon the scene Coleman with
his night robes flying. was making tracks
for the shelter of his w room, where q
man at his age, nearly or quite 80, ought
TO have been i~ndulging in the dreams of
the pure in heart.
The story is had direct from the pro-
prietors of the hotel, Mr.. w. &. Trott and
Mrs. CofIman, who are very indignant
over the escapade, and reluctantly give
up the information contained herein. Mr..
Coleman will be quietly asked to seek
other quarters, and the hope is expressed
by Mrs. Coffman, the matron of the Hotel
Ideal, that he will deport himself more as
a gentleman in the future.

Current.
1t is the custom Of the department OF
agriculture 10 submit a report of the in
crease or decrease in number Of farm ami
mails in the United States in January of
each year, ana this years returns are
now available, showing "a decrease Of 2.2
per cent. in sheep, and an increase in all

increase, l33 per cent, or nearly 5000, GOO
in number, without any reckoning for
the Indian territory, for which last years
statement gave credit for S41, 500. The
statistician says, in his report:
"ln the numbers OF swine there is O

IL will strike the interested reader that
this is a peculiar statement to offer. If

a gain of 6, 1916, 900, or IS Der

OF tins is only apparent, as in several
states "a revision Of previous estimates
has enlarged the state aggregates" This
leaves the reader in the dark az TO how
much SUCH revision affects the compari-
son, and this mission IS a most important
one, and Is ineXcusable in such a report,

we are blandly told-this natural in

the gain in the meat supply is made &c

1t needs nothing but the reflection OF a
person moderately familiar with the
question of hog supplies to recognize the
absurdity of a gain OF over rs per cent.
