GOING TO BED.

The birds were singing their good night SON.
The evening shadows creep,
Within his coy cradle nest
Dear baby lies asleep:
And little Meg in robe of white
Is ready soon to say Goodnight"
But Dolly fair, her waxen pet,
To slumber first must go,
For dollies, too, so wee Meg thinks,
Must sometimes sleepy grow
And loves each night with tender care
For bed her darling to prepare
Now, Dolly, dear" she softly says.
BE good and do not cry,
And soon I'll rock you in my arms
With gentle lullaby;
TITS really time for you and me
Asleep, like baby Hal, to be-
And soon upon her pillow white
In happy slumber laid,
Until the day begins to peep,
Will rest the little maid,
And by her tender mother, too,
Lies Dolly dear the whole night through.

A Needed Accomplishment.

The gift of one good voice, clear enun-
citation, correct pronunciation in every
family would raise the enjoyment of home
| life 80 per cent if such valuation could be
| placed on so spiritual g family possession;
the gain that would result in the increase
! of general int lligence to each family is
incalculable. 1t seems a great pity that
when so much money is spent on accom-
plishments that really minister to the stu
dents development only, more attention
is not given to the very desirable accom-
| plishment of elocution-not that the stu
dent may recite in public, but that he or
she may read in private for the common
development of the intelligence of the
family.
The Boston Tragsler queries with wis
dom: "Is reading, indeed, lost art, that
we must all flock to public hall, and be
read to at a given price per hour? There
seems to be d tendency in this direction.
The gregarious reading is the idol of the
hour. 1t cannot be denied that to hear a
great play or poem read by one with whom
expression is an art, whose Interpretation
vitalizes and WHITES each individuality
and lends color to a scene, is one of the
great artistic enjoyments; but this is the
exception and not the rule, and so one still
recurS TO Inc queSblon, Is readlnS Decom-
ing lost art to the jewellers in citiesf"
Talking not long since to a teacher of
elocution, the writer was struck with this
sentence: 'The art of elocution has it's
true value in conversation" How often
bad infection, wrong emphasis, completely
hides, if it do s not pervert. the speaker
meaning! Elocution is not a superficial
training mere effort at effect; it is
training of the perceptions of intelligence,
it is the effort to bring always the true
meaning by clear understanding of what
was meant by the declaration, the senti-
ment. No longer is elocution the train
ing of one sense-that of speech; it rec
ognizes that gesture must bear its relation
to the thing said; it recognizes that per-
feet harmony depends on perfect health.
and applies methods of training necessary
to physical development. = Christian

What Is a Model Wife !?

A model wife is the woman in whom the
heart of her husband doth safely trust.
She is the woman who looks after his
household, and makes her hospitality de-
light to him, and not burden.
Who has learned that soft answer will
turn away wrath
Who keeps her sweetest smiles and most
loving words for her husband.
Who is his confdant in sorrow or in 10Y,
and who does not feel the necessitv of ex-
planning her private affairs to the neigh
borhood
Who respects the rights of husband and
children, and In turn has due regard paid
to her.
Who knows that the strongest argument
is her womanliness and SO she cultivates it.
Who is sympathetic in joy or in grief,
and who finds work for her hands to do.
Who makes friends and keeps them.
Who is not made bitter by troxble, but
who strengthens and sweetens underit.
Who tries to conceal the faults of her
husband rather than blaz IN them forth to
an uninterested public.
The woman whose life book has love
written on every page.
Who makes home for a mana home
in house and in heart. A home that
he is sure Of, home that is full of love,
presided over by one whose price is above
rubies.
She is the model wife.-Ladies' Home

Several weeks quietly passed, and yet
no scholars came The front windows
bore the sign of ''Tides Studio" the hail

Alone he sat and contemplated. He looked
at the painting he so priced and he
thought of the painter he priced more.
Yes, and he wondered where she could be.
And he thought how empty and useless
had been their vows, how false hers She
had very likely long forgotten him, and in
the new circle of her existence married
some one else, and remembered him as
only an accommodating person to whom
she had the extreme good luck of selling
one of her early paintings.
But he was ambitious, and these
thoughts did not last him long. Closing
his eyes and heart to such thoughts and
feelings, he determined to rise in the WORLD
Then he would restlessly pace the floor
again, and in strange bewilderment ask
himself why people were SO unapprecia-
tive of genius it was afioat in their

THE "ALLIGATOR- SWAPPING AT A LITTLE
NIGER" DAYS OF LOUISIANA CLOSING.


NIGER" DAYS OF LOUISIANA CLOSING.
1t is generally the case that at or near
the mouth of water courses there is great
deal of wet or marsh land. Such, we say,
is the general observation. 1t has for ages
back been the general belief, with persons
living in the New England States especi-
ally, that the present Louisiana was simply
reduced to fit thu marsh districts of the
great Father of Waters. No doubt one
hundred years ago there was more marsh
land than there exists to-day. But then it
must have been far over estimated. The
first maps that showed Louisiana to be
such vast malarial field did not get the
true state of things. On the other hand,
there are vast acres that then rested in
marsh lands that are now perfectly high
and dry. There are numbers of places Of
large dimensions in Southwest Louisiana
that within the recollection of some of our
Oldest inhabitants were perfect lakes, and
are now high, dry, rich soil.
People for ages have been educated to
the belief that Louisiana was one of the
eGod- forsaken" countries. Biographies,
almanacs, the patent medicines, and match
manufactures, employ cut of an "alli-
gator-snapping. at little niger, and this
Serves as an object lesson to teach the
young.
The educated and the uneducated are
alike ignorant of this Safe. We are in a
position to know, as we are constantly re-
ceiving letters from our Northern friends
on the subject. Only last week, among
other letters, was one from very intelli-
gent gentleman, and q good writer. He
says: 81 received sample copy of The
Amecican, and until | saw it, | had no
idea there was so fine section of country
in all the South, but always looked upon
Louisiana as the breeding ground of every
imaginable disease, and everything unde
sirable, snakes, lizards, horrible insects,
flies and unmitigated denominations, croco-
dies, alligators, malaria, filth, rotten and
reeking vegetation, and everything to
make man very unhappy and to shorten
his days. but further on in his letter, he
says, ''but after reading your business
like paper, | feel quite different toward
Southwest Louisiana.
Hundreds of thousands of copies of The
american have been sent throughout va
rious Northern States giving true state
ment of the soil and climate and it has had
a wonderful effect. On the other hand
thousands of people representing about
every State and Territory North have visi-
ted this State within the past few years
and found altogether a different country
and climate to what they expected. This
knowledge was carr ed back with them if
they returned or written back to friends if
they remained. 1t has taken many hard
strokes from the Louisiana journals but
these strokes in cooperation with the now
immense immigration is fast settling the
matter as to the climate, and its rich aud
productive soil and healthfulness.-The

The American heiresses who go abroad
to marry princes, lords, dukes or some

There is young lady in Deland, Fla,
who is very fond of onions, but as she Is
good looking, amiabse and popular, she
understands her duty to society too well
to indulge in the savory but onoriferous
root. Every now and then, however, her
appetite gets too much for her and she
goes on regular onion drunk, eating a
dozen or two Of the tear-drawing vegeta
BILE. On such occasions she retires to her
room day or two, and is dead to the

CONVINCED.

The maiden argued long with him,
A kiss was mere frivolity;"
Till they agreed 'twould be no sin
To test them by their quality.
Her hand he gently, lightly brushed
Against his lips in fashion cold.
And thus you PROVE" she redly blushed,
'Tis folly light, as was told"
He snatched her to his heart-so warm,
And kissed her red lips oft and long,
Till, rising shily from his arm,
She murmured coyly: Il was wrong"

KANSAS CRY, Nov 22.-Secretary John
A Blair, of the Cherokee Strip Live Stock
association is in the city and tells start
ling story of ruin and desolation in the
strip. He express the opinion that with
in thirty days from the time the strip is
vacated by the ranchmen all the improve
ments made there will be possessed by
thieves from Kansas and Oklahoma, un-
less the government orders out the troops
to protect the property. The terms of
the lease made with the Cherokees by the
Live Stock association provides that all
permanent Improvements shall revert to
the United States and ownership of the
Cherokees when the cattlemen vacate the
land. The cancellation OF the lease by
the government leaves the Indians in
possession of the improvements. Already
three fourths of the ranch buildings,
stables and out-houses and fences have
been torn down and carried away. The
value of the enire improvements is placed
by Mr.. Blair at S., 900, 900.

Death of W. C. Hurt,

was surrounded by his family; wife, two
sons and a daughter, on whom through
life he had lavished every care and be-
slowed all the affection of a warm heart.
He came to Cerrilos from the south eight
years ago, at that time helpless invalid,
but was so far restored by the climate OF
New Mexico as to be able to pursue an
active business career up to the last six
months, from which time rapidly failing
health proceeded his demise. In all mat

AMONG THE MINERS.
What South Santa Fe County Toiicrs are
Doing Toward Developing Our
Resources.

Mr.. Conger, Of the st. Lazarus gold
property east of San Pedro, has put a
force of twenty-five to thirty men on the
running shifts and improvements A
500-foot well is being sunk, and board
ing house has been erected.
The Copper mine people discharged
their miners Tuesday. 1t is understood
that the object was to get all present in
terests centered in the completion Of the
concentrating plant, the machinery for
which is being manufactured in Fort
Scott and Kansas City. Supt, Nc
Laughlin states that the machinery will
all be on the ground within four weeks,
and that within few weeks thereafter r
the plant will be ready to run without
fear of stopping. In conversation with a
correspondent, Mr.. Mclaughlin spoke
quite encouragingly of the condition of
the property, and Of the lower levels
where experimental shafts we're sunk, he
said silver and gold were found to pre-
dominate.
The coal operators OF Cerrllos are more
busy than every before. Never were
they shipping as much coal and never
wore they more rushed with orders. The
territorial trade on hard and soft coal Is
good, while Colorado and Kansas points
are for the first time, seeking their sup
plies of anthracite from Cerrllos instead
of Pennsylvania.
The Cash Entry, New Mexicos great
mine, will soon be crushing the and
turning out concentrates from treat
mass of machinery. Men ar, Icing
added to the army of employees daily, and
the plant is expected soon to become a
great producer.
At Golden the great well being sunk
by Mr.. Mayo's company for working the
placers, is gradually progressing, and will
doubtless be ready for good work next
season.
Some vigorous and promising prospect
ing is going Oh in the Sandals, between
Cerrillos and Bernalillo.

Owens Mexico Colony.

ABILENE, Kas., Nov. GA long inter
view with woman just returned from
Topolobampo, the cooperative colony on
the western coast of Mexico, is printed
here. The woman says the colonies are
suffering great hardships for lack Of
proper food and the conveniences to which
they were accustomed in their eastern
homes. The crops, she says, have been
failures. For two years past, the colo
nists have been unable to make salts
factory or even respectable living and
many OF them are willing and anxious to
return home. The women, she says,
suffers most. The atmosphere seems to
sap their very life with its torrid heat.
The food quickly becomes infected with
worms and insects which they are obliged
to eat with their eyes shut. The legs OF
the dining tables are kept in water to
keep the ants from swarming over the
table and reserve food is hung from the
roof by wires to keep the ants from it,
with lizards, flies and all manner OF creep
ing things swarming about it. Three
hundred coonists started for that place
from here last week.
