Good Old Rose.

Rose is our old dog. Her hair is as
curly as dandelion stems; her tail
waves like a great feather duster.
When we say, Good dog" it thumps
like grandpa's cane when he walks up
stairs. Now I will tell you why we
call her ''good old Rose"
One day papa sent Lily to the store.
Lily is six years old; the store is just
beyond the railroad track. Y
"Rose, take care of Lily" said papa.
Rose wagged her tail Eyes, sir" and
off they went. She trotted along by
Lily's side. Lily felt very grand to go
to the store all alone. She didn't know
that Rose was taking care of her. All
at once Rose caught Lily's dress in
her teeth. They were just going to
cross the track.
"Let me gop' said Lily. But Rose
pulled her back hard. Lily looked up
and down the track; there was no
train in sight. But Rose heard it shake
the ground. "You shall let me goW
cried Lily. Bad Rose!" and she jerked
the dress. and tore it out of Roses
teeth, and ran. Then Rose jumped
right at Lily, and threw her down on
the ground, and dragged her back
again.
Just at that instant, the train thun-
dered around the curve; but Lily was
safe. How themen in the train cheer
ed! How the ladies waved their hand
kerchiefs! Rose hadn't any handker-
chief, but che waved her tail, and that
is all dog can do. ..
Wouldn't you pat her big head, too,
and call her "good old Rose?" For she
did all she could for Lily.-Little Men
and Women.

Good Words For Bows.

BE gentle, boys. 1t is high praise tc
have it said of you, He is as gentle as
Il woman to his mother" 1t is out OF
fashion to think if you ignore mother
and make little sister cry whenever
she comes near you, that people will
think that you belong to the upper
stratum of society. Remember that,
as rule, gentle boys make gentle men
(gentlemen).
Be manly, boys. A frank, straight
forward manner always gains friends
If you have committed fault, step
forward and confess it. Concealed
faults are always found out sooner OF
later. Never do anything which after,
ward may cause blush Of shame to
come to your face.
BE courteous, boys. 1t is just as easy
to acquire genteel, courteous manner,
as all ungracious, don't care style, and
it will help you materially if you have
to make your own way through life.
Other thing things being equal, the
boy who knows the use of II beg your
pardon" and II thank you," will be
chosen for position, three to one, in
preference to boy to whom such SEN
tences are strangers.
BE prompt, boys. 1t is far better to
be ahead than behind time. Business

Tea should never be boiled. It should
be made in china of porcelain teapot,

Chicken Croquettes,-Boil two fow-
els until tender; remove bones, mince
fine, add one pint of cream, alfpound
of butter, salt and pepper to taste;
shape in jelly glass or mould; fry in
lard, like doughnuts, until brown.
Cream for Invalid. The fact is not
so well known as it deserves to be that
cream constitutes all admirable nutri-
ment for invalids. 1t is superior to
butte, containing more volatile oils.
Persons predisposed to consumption,
aged persons, or those inclined to cold
eXtremities and feeble digestion, are
especially benefited by liberal use of
sweet cream. 1t is far better than cod
liver oil, and, besides being excellent
for menical properties, it is a highly
nutritious food.-Boston Journal of

Good story OF u Railroad President

President Roberts of the Pennsylva-
MIA railroad is, as everybody knows, u
great stickler for discipline, and story
is told of him which is too good to
keep. Some time ago: while on his
way to Harrisburg, the conductor of the
train bowed as he passed, without ask
ing to see his ticket. On coming
through the train again, Mr.. Roberts
touched his arm and said "Why did
YOU not ask for my ticket"
Rather abashed, the conductor re-
piled that he presumed he had his
pass. -,
"Do you know who I am?" next
asked Mr.. Roberts.
"Yes, sir" replied the conductor,
"you are the president of the road"
'"Granted that I am. 1t is your duty
to allow nobody to ride over this road
without showing a ticket. Always
bear that in mind"
The conductor promised to 90 so in
the future and passed on. After the
next station had been passed he again
came through the train for tickets, and
coming to Mr.. Roberts, stopped and
demanded to see his tickets.
That's right, my man." said the
president, putting his hand i'll his
breast pocket. The he grew red in the
face, and as he felt in pocket after pock-
ct, his face became redtler. He had
left his pass ut home. The conductor
never moved a muscle Of his face, but
stood with out-strelched hand waiting
for the ticket. Mr.. Roberts was too
proud to back out and finally asked in
meek voice: "Howmuch is the fare to
Harrisburg ," On being informed he
paid over the money, which the con-
ductOr took without smile, giving
him rebate check good for ten cents
President Roberts continued his ride

governed by such a reason as this
and to refuse a territory admission
on purely partisan grounds is ex-
ceedingly reprehensible. To keep
a great Territory with a popula-
ton Of $4,000 people and almost
unlimited resources under a system
Of tutelage simply because there is
a probability that it would become
a democratic state while there are
several states in the Union with
smaller population, less wealth and
resources, which cannot be com
pared with those of New Mexico,
is rank injustice.
New Mexico was better qualified
for statehood ten years ago than
some of the states which have been
admitted since that time, and il
has been gaining rapidly in wealth
and population.
There seems to be little hope for
statehood for New Mexico until
the democratic party gets a major
ity in the senate. Until that time
citizens Of New Mexico may as
well make up their minds to live
under a Territorial government.

THOMAS b. CATRoN will, in oil
probability, be q candidate for del
egate to congress from this Terri
tory this fall. He has q desire to
be one Of the United States sena-
tors from New Mexico when this
Territory becomes a state, if it
ever does, and as a stopping stone
to the senate he desires an election
to the house. Mr.. Catron would
undoubtedly make a strong race,
but the efforts Of the Santa Fe
ring will be unavailing in his be-
half if he should receive the nom
ination. Delegate Joseph or any
other candidate which the demo-
cratic party may see fit to place in
nomination next September will be
elected. The people Of New Mex
leo are not yet ready to bow down
and worship the grand sachem Of

AN ELOQUENT ARGUMENT.

The most eloquent argument
which will be made in this
County in favor of abolishing the
pernicious fee system will be made
today by the board of County COM
missioners of Grant County when
they will fix a much higher tax rate
upon property than has ever before
been fixed on property in this
County. The tax rate in 1883 was
1.81; in 1889 and 1890 it was 2; in
1891 it was 2.05, and for this year
it will be about 2.25.
It is time that retrenchment
should be commenced in earnest.
Such a tax rate as this will not only
discourage people who are already
here but will go a long way toward
preventing investment of outside
capital. One of the first questions
asked by an investor is, What is
the tax rate? If he is answered
that the tax rate is more than 2
per cent. he is very apt to look
with disfavor upon an investment
unless it is out of the ordinary
line of investments.
Grant County is one Of the
wealthiest counties in New Mexico
and ought ODE developing rapidly,
but high taxes and rapid develop
ment do not go together. Some
thing must be done and that
without delay. The abolition
of the fee system would re-
move quite a burden from
the taxpayers, and severa.
thousand dollars a year could
be saved by giving the pris-
oners in the County jai.
prompt trials and thus reliev.
ing the County of the ex.
pense of feeding them at rs cents
a day. 1t has been no uncommon
thing for prisoners to be confined
in the Jail here for two years before
having a trial, and each trial 81
delayed means an expense of near
ly $3.50 to the County. There ar,
other leaks which have helped
to keep the treasury of this Count,
in a depleted condition, but thesI
are the main ones, and they hav.
become SO serious as to require
tax rate considerably more than
half of one per cent. higher tina
, the rate was four years ago.
. The time has come for vigorou
, action, and it must be taken in tn
next Legislature. The big leak
can be stopped there, and Will
they are being stopped the Office c
{ county auditor should be created
and the auditor will be able t
stop the smaller leaks. Bette
stop the leaks before the ship goe

TWO A EYES.

New Mexico has received two
black eyes within a week. The
first blow was a staggering one, but
the second was a knock down.
The first was dealt by the house
of representatives when it refused
to consider the senate bill for the
free coinage of silver. The de-
feat of that bill means restricted
production of the silver mines of
New Mexico and dull times in
more than half of the mining camps
of the Territory ; it means idle
miners and hundreds of thousands
of dollars of invested capital tied
up in mining machinery and i'm
provements from which no benefit
can be obtained.
1t is not an extravagant assertion
to say that the product of the
mines of this Territory for the
next year will not be half so great
as it would have been if the senate
bill had been made a law.
The news of the fate Of the sill
yer bill had hardly been received
when the hopes of the friends Of
statehood were blasted by the in
telligence that the senate would
not consider the bill for the adj
mission of New Mexico until the
second session of this congress.
The reason is plain enough. The
qualification of New Mexico for
statehood is not doubted, but the
republicans in the senate are APP
prehensive that the admission of
New Mexico might change the
political complexion of the senate.
AS it is, the republicans have but
a narrow margin in hat branch OF
congress, and the possibility of the
addition of two senators from New
Mexico to the minority, and the
further possibility of the loss OF
republican senator's in states where
gains might be made for demo.
Gratis or the peoples party, nc
doubt caused the senate committed
to postpone action on the bill.
When it is remembered that the
, senate passed bills for the admis
| sion Of states having a smaller pop
ulation than New Mexico and NO
, so well qualified in any respect 70
4 statehood, il looks very much a
D though the only requirement need
+ ed for a territory to gain admis
sion to the Union, 30 far as tn
senate is concerned, is a reliabl
