William G. White, like his cOnfreres
Palmer and Markham, is young gem
tleman of admirable.character and, as a
lawyer, apt, studious and persevering.
His career, though short, has been
marked with great success, and he has
shown marked ability in every branch
of his profession. He is most courteous
and gentlemanly in mis- social and busi-
ness intercourse, and makes friends on
every hand. His greatest triumph he
achieved lately in the rather celebrated
divorce case of Warner against Warner,
where he appeared on behalf of the de-
fendant, Reuben Warner, being op-
posed by Cy Wellington. He handled.

Infuriated Squirrels.

A Freetown (Ky.) man at st. Louis
hotel tells q remarkable story. He says
that when he was about twenty years
Of age he was an ardent sportsman, and
used to frequent the woods about his
native village. One day he met vast
army of squirrels advancing straight
toward him, and he accidentally trod on
one and killed it. The sight of their
dead brother seemed to rouse the fight
ing blood in the rest, and they swarmed
all over him, biting through his cloth
ing and lacerating him terribly. He
screamed with pain, and his dog, which
was near by, came to his assistance, but
before the faithful animal got within a
dozen yards Of its master it was set
upon by the maddened squirrels and
torn to pieces. At last the young man
managed to break away, and escaped
with his life, though he was confined to
his bed for weeks.

MAGNETISM OF A SHERIFF.
Tho Complete Ascendency He Enjoys Owe

Tho Complete Ascendency He Enjoys Over
the Minds of His Prisoners.
A man who has told many stories
which have appeared in this column is
responsible for the following, says the
New York Tribune: Talking about
the fear that criminals have for some
officers of the law knew a sheriff in
Sweetwater county, Wyo., whose power
over desperadoes was amazing. He
seemed to be able to make them do any
thing he chose except become respecta-
BILE citizens. There was one fellow who
was q notorious rufiian even among his
kind. He spent nearly all his time in
the clutches of the law. He was a
gambler, a thief and undoubtedly a
murderer.
"Yet often when there was danger
GUS work to be done my friend, the
sheriff, would go around to the county
jail and fetch out his most desperate
prisoner to assist him. He even went
so far at times as to release him entire
ly, sending him on some mission. The
fellow always came back, reported to
the sheriff and submitted to being
locked up without q murmur. He was
SO afraid Of the sheriff that he did not
dare to do other than he was ordered to
do. ought to say, however, that the
sheriff had broken in his wild friend
at their first meeting with the butt end
of q revolver"

A LOST DOG.
It's Whereabouts Pointed Out by Means OF
Astrological Science. !

AstrOIOEfCAl science. q
II is astonishing into what curious,
and trivial details the old astrologers
were prepared to go, says the st. Louis
Republic. There is, for instance, some
thing delightfully."- rich in the idea of
consulting and interrogatipg the plan
cts as to the whereabouts of lost dog.
And yet this was done, as related by
William Libby, the great star-gazer,
who gives full particulars as to his
method and success. His account will
be food for the great army of the curl
ous and is, therefore, quoted in full be-
low. After first drawing plan of the
heavens and showing the position Of the
planets at the time he was consulted in
regard to the dog, he continues: "The
query with me was: What part of the
city they should search; next, if they
should ever recover him. The signe of
Gemini was west and by south; the
quarter of the heavens was west;
Mercury, the signifcator of the dog,
was in Libra, western signc, but
southern quarter of the heavens,
tending to the west. The moon
was in Virgo, southwest signe verg-
ing to western angle; the strength Of
the testimonies examined, 1 found,
signified the west, and, therefore,
Judged that the dog was to the west
ward Of the place where the owner
lived, which was at Temple Bar; where
fore I judged that the dog was about
Long Acre or upper parte of Drury
lane. In regard that Mercury, significa-
tor of the beast, was in signe of the
same triplicity that Gemini, his ascend
ant, was, which signifies London, and
did not apply to the trine aspect of the
sixth house, I jugded that the dog was
not out Of the line of communication,
but in the same quarter; of whiche
was more confirmed by the sun and
Saturn and their trine aspect.
also judged that the dog was in some
chamber or upper room, kept privately
or in great secrecy, because the moon
was under the beams of the sun, and
Mercury, moon and sun were in the
eighth house. But, because the sun on
Monday following did not apply by
trine to Saturn, lord of the ascendant,
intimated that in my opinion he should
have his dog again, or news of him
upon Monday following, or near that
time, which was true, for the dog was
sent to his master by an acquaintance
at ten in the morning of Monday, the
friend having found him in Long Acre
in an upper room chained under table,
all of which was to my very great
credit"

NEW USE FOR THE PAPAw.
It's Leaves Used to Render Tough Steal
Tender.

It's Leaves Used to Render Tough Steak
Tender.
In the West Indies one of the char
acteristics of an intelligent cook is the
care with which he or she will see to it
that papaw tree is growing within a
short distance of the kitchen door.
The fruit Of the papaw, says the
Pittsburgh Dispatch, if large and well
grown, is not to be despised as break
fast dish, and it's rich, golden flesh is to
many much more palatable than that
of the popular melon. But the attrac-
tiveness of the papaw for the cook con-
sists in it's leaves, which possess the re-
markable property of rendering meat
tender. The toughest beefstealf or the
most hopeless old rooster can be made
soft and comparatively juicy by being
wrapped for an hour or two in the large,
dark green papaw leaves.
DR.. Mortimer Granville, who has
been for some time studying the proper
ties of the juice which works such won
ders, states that he has discovered in it
a remedy for cancer, when used with
some other preparations. The organ
lied ferment of the papaw is believed
to be bacillus; but Dr.. Granville says
he has satisfied himself of the thera-
peutic value of the juice, or certain of
its elements, as n solvent of the morbi-
ficially indurated tissues in cancer,
when administered in combination with
certain specified adiuncts.

THE POLKA.
It Was Invented in 1880 by an Austrian
Female Cook.

It Was Invented In 1880 by an Austrian
Female Cook.
The origin Of the polka is being dis
cussed in some of the Partisan journals,
says Galignani. The universally popu-
lar dance is said to have been invented
In 1880 by an Austrian kitchen cook,
who, finding herself dull in the kitchen,
sang and danced to the now we'll
known measure. The cooks mistress
having surprised her during the perfor-
nance she was requested to dance and
sing in the presence of the composer
Joseph Neruda, who took notes of the
performance. The polka passed into
Prague, then to Vienna, and was
danced for the first time before the
Partisan public by Hungarian artist
at the Odeon theater in 1910. Plenty of
animated polka music was written sue
cessively by Lanner, Strauss and Fran
els Hunai. But the real polka mania
did not break out in Paris till 1914,
when 1t was danced with great success
by select few at the Sale Valentino,
in the Rue Saint-Honore, the premises
now occupied by the Nouveau cirque.
Crowds used to assemble round the
dancers to admire the different pretty
figures which composed the true polka,
which was then acquired with great
difficulty, and was not the simple close
of the rushing dance at present known
by that name. So popular was the pol
ka in Paris nearly half century ago
that the dancing masters had for clients
ladies and gentlemen of all classes, and
even judges, lawyers and doctors did
not disdain to take lessons in what was
then considered as one of the greatest
requirements for ballroom dancer.

CHINESE IRON.
Works Of . Modern Character Soon 70
Be Erected in China.


Be Erected in China.
The Chinese wall was prohibitory Of
imported labor and foreign ideas. It
was isolation on an imperial scale and
q big patch Of the planetary crust In
closed in fence and made secure with
q paddock. British cannon made a
crack in the old barrier and the arts,
sciences and industries of the outside
world followed the redcoats into the
Mongolian inclosure.
The yeast in the dough has been
working ever since. Western civiliza-
ton has inoculated an empire and the
pigtails of Confucius are coming under
the headgear of European hatters.
China is not now the stagnant pool of the
past centuries. It is being permeated
with new ideas and vivifying energies
of alien descent are percolating through
its institutions and industries. A
shrewd, prudent and thrifty race are
copying tho figures of the western
slate and1in commerce and enterprise
are making radical and rapid advances.
Iron and steel works on European plah.:
are included in the.new departure.
On the slope of the Hamyang hills
opposite the native city Of Hankow q
series of works are in process Of
erection that promise to be completed
and of considerable Importance, says
the Age Of Steel. They will comprise
two large blast furnaces of the Cleve-
land type, with the appurtenances, ap-
paratus and machinery capable of pro-
ducing about one hundred tons of pig
iron daily. A complete Bessemer plant
will be added, including two fve-ton
converters, with cupolas, casting
cranes, blowing engines, etc. The
specifications also include large rail
mill, with necessary machinery and ap-
paratus.
A Siemens-Martin plant will complete
the steel works. The iron department
will include twenty pudding furnaces
and a plate and bar mill. These works
will cover twenty acres. A foreign
technical staff has been secured, and in
the course of few months steel rails
for Chinese railways, soft steel for
ships plates and special metals for
small arms and a gun factory will be
home prod ductions.
These industries are initial, but pre-
liminary, and, circumstances avoring
the supply Of crude materials and native
aptitude, it is but a question Of time
when the Mongolian demand for for
eign metal will be measured only by
the limit of native supply.

A Dog That Wouldn't Change His Place

"In Greenfield Meadows, Mass, about

! Youths Companion, "lived one Edwin
.Smead, q farmer, whose dog was as
constant as his master in attendance
at the old First church. The meeting
house contained high pulpit, which
was approached by winding stairs in
front Of the gallery containing the
singers. When the congregation en-
tered the church, the old dog, with The
utmost gravity OF manner, always
climbed the pulpit stairs and composed
himself for nap.
"About 1851 alterations were made
In the meeting house. The seats were
turned around, platform was erected
OF the other end Of the church, and q
modern desk was placed upon It.
"When the day came for the reopen
ing of the church the old dog walked In
with the rest, and, wearing an express
sion of deep disgust at the changed ap-
pearance Of things, sought the stairs
leading to the old pulpit, which, alasi
had disappeared forever. He walked
up one. aisle and down the other,
looking disturbed, and apparently
aware that he was the object Of i'll.

hearing the voice of good old DR.,
Chandler in the opening services, he re-

himself to sleep.

BLACKS OF THE SOUTH.
An Observer Gives Some Interesting
Views Of the Changes Among Them.


Views Of the Changes Among Them.
I A colored preacher in Brooklyn, who
watches the movements of his race,
holds that there is no likelihood of any
extensive migration Of the colored peo-
pie of the southern states to the north
ern, says the New York Sun. A few
thousand come every year to this state
from the cities of the southern sea-
board; some go from Virginia and Ken
lucky to the states lying north of them,
and considerable number in the Gulf
states have been anxious to settle upon
the lands newly opened in Oklahoma.
But 1t is doubtful whether the annual
migration from all the southern states
is as high as one hundred thousand. The
reports received by the preacher as to
the progress of the colored people of
the southern states at this time are en-
couraging. The majority of them, who
have been born in freedom since the
close of the war or we're emancipated
in early life, have acquired habits of
self-reliance which their enslaved an
cestors did not possess, and in several
states are as well educated as the
North Carolina the proportion of col
ored children who attend school is as
large as that Of white children, and in
Virginia it is but little less, while the
reports from most of the other states
are good.
The preacher argues from the growth
of prosperity III the southern states that
time has now fully proved that the
colored people are possessed of industri-
Gus habits, and that the notion preva-
lent in slavery time that they would
never work under freedom, has been
disproved by the experience Of quarter
Of century. They raised the crops of
cotton, sugar, tobacco and cereals as
they did before the war. Colored me-
chanics were few in number under
slavery, but now there are tens of
thousands Of colored workers in skilled
industries.
The colored preacher also speaks with
pride of the fact that among the colored
people in the south there is now body
of excellent scholars, who have gradu-
ated from various institutions of learn
ing. They exercise an elevating influ-
ence, and are very useful as teachers.
Finally, the colored preacher refers
to the interesting fact that there has
been a change in the speech of the col
ored people of the south, and that the
"Sambo dialect" is going out of exist
ence. A large proportion of them
speak the English language as we'll as
it is spoken by other people, though
there are parts Of South Carolina and
the Gulf states where the plantation
lingo still holds its ground. The change
has been brought about by the school
ing of the new generation.

A CHANGE IN METHODS.

Nothing more fully illustrates the change
that has come over the range stockman's
methods OF doing business than the fact
that they are now given to watching the
crnn rennrta nf tho wnnto.n st"too alra oct
as closely as if they themselves were pro-
fessional farmers instead of range beef
raisers. This wasn't the case few years
ago, but the range men have learned that
big corn crop in Kansas and Nebraska,
Iowa and Texas means great deal for
them in the way of preparing their stock
tor bringing the best market prices. This
is all very we'll for the present, but in a
few years we shall be able to note another
marked change in their methods, this
time nearer home. They can not always
depend upon the corn belt for help in
securing the top-notch prices; they must
prepare now to become independent by
blowing up part of their great ranges and
seeding it down to alfalfa and other
grasses suitable to this soil and climate.
New Mexico's productive qualities are far
too varied for her to rely on her neigh
bors for anything. Her people must them
selves get living out of the soil and keep
their money at home.

PRICES OF SCHOOL BOOKS.

Under the new school law and the &C.
tons OF the territorial board of education
the school children Of New Mexico will,
from the first of September next, be able
to procure school books much cheaper
than ever before; in some cases the re-
duction in the price of school books
amounts to 80 per cent, and in no case
is such reduction less than 40 per cent ;
this will prove great saving; in cases
where parents are too poor to purchase
school books for their children, attending
the public school, the county school au-
thorities must supply them free Of charge.
All this is great step in advance and
will rebound to the benefit Of the school
system OF New Mexico. Slowly but
surely is the territory advancing in every
direction.
