DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

lt was eVldenb Wnen Jne uelegaJeS
had arrived in Albuquerque that the
FERGUSON Fielder Martinez faction
were in the majority, and when the
convention opened they ran things
to suit themselves. The proceedings,
which we condense from the Citizen
and Democrat, we're as follows:
AT 1920 p. m. Mr.. Childers called
the convention to order.
Felix Martinez was chosen inter-
prefer.
The chairman made a few remarks
in the nature of retrospect since the
meeting of the last territorial con-
vention at Silver City. That last
convention voted down the PROPOSE
ton for the constitution then offered,
and the chairman was proud of that
record. He knew now that victory
perched upon the banners of the De-
mocracy. He stated that the cali of
the national committee was for two
delegates, and it was for the conven-
ton if they should decide to send
six. On the question of proxies he
decided to allow all who were in reg
ular form.
Nomination of officers being in
order Mr.. Easley, of Santa Fe, NOM
mated J II Crist for temporary chair
man.
Mr.. Ferguson seconded the nomi-
nation, and upon motion of a dele
gate from Lincoln the nomination of
Mr.. Crist was made unanimous.
Mr.. Ferguson nominated w G
Heacock for temporary secretary.
The motion being seconded and no
other nominations being made, Mr..
Heacock was unanimously elected.
The convention then voted to
raise committee on credentials, and
several motions and amendments
were made and discussed looking to
the manner in which the committee
should be chosen and the number to
compose it.
On motion of Mr.. Ferguson it
was resolved, "That the secretary of
the convention call the roll of coun-
ties, and that the chairman of each
delegation then name person from
such delegation to serve as a mem
Der of the committee on credentials"

most important part of their report

was the seating of the entire donble
delegation from San Miguel county,
though only allowing them 20 votes.
On organization there was a minority
report from the Childers-Albrigbt
faction which the convention voted
down, and adopted the majority
report, which was for Hon. J. II.
Crist for permanent chairman, Hon.
L. Emmett and Hon. Santiago Baca
for vice presidents; for permanent
secretaries, w G Heacock, DIR G T
Gould and Chas O'Connor Roberts;
Messrs II L Ortiz and Modesto Ortiz
for interpreters.
The committee recommended the
regular parliamentary rules for the
management of the convention, and
that the number of six delegates
should be elected by the convention,
three from the northern part of the
territory and three from the south,
commencing the nominations from
the north with vive voce vote by
counties on single candidate and
then follow alternating until the six

Valuable Advice.

Among the ludicrous experiences of
"green Fasteners in California, where
so many things are unlike the ways and
circumstances to which they are accus-
toned In the East, the following occur
renee, no doubt, deserves an honorable
place:
A Vermont lady had removed from her
native place to the beautiful California
city OF Oakland. She found life there
very agreeable at first, but before long
she began to experience distressing
physical sensations. She became nervous,
iretful and very uncomfortable; she lost
much OF her sleep at night, and much OF
her happiness BY day.
At last she resolved to consult physi-
clan, and did so, calling to see bright
light in the profession. She gave him a
very full account OF her symptoms, and
then asked:
"What is it that ails me, doctor9"
Fleas, ma'am!" answered the doctor
For this information the Vermont lady
paid the doctors minimum consultation
fee Of IS, and went her way, but not re-
joicing. Youths Companion.

A correspondent writes to . London

the Roumanian Miss. When she goes
among you the American Miss will ind
herself nowhere. Physically or morally
the Roumanian Miss has not an angle.
Her figure Is graceful and unlike the
American bellesJ gives promise OF matron-
ly comeiiness, the shoulders and hips be-

bright, soft smile, for the teeth are white
and well set and the lips, II little large,

survivals OF the Italian ancestry, as
far back as the Roman empire, IL
the healthy olive pallor OF the
skin, in itself beauty, but doubly
beautiful when seen (as II 90 often is)
along with intensely profoundly black
and intellectual eyes, that devour the
rest of the face. These eyes seem to
struggle between q sociable wish TO please
and the melancholy Of nostalgia. In the
far back times the Italians who colonized
Roumania were either exiles or thought
themselves such. They pinned for the old
sunny country, and the sentiment OF
hopeless, longing would have given rise
to the expression Of deep, passive melan-
choly that became q typical one of the
race and an additional beauty; 1t COR
rected the exuberant ioyousness OF the

Asumm.r substitute for Beer.

Rice water is in most households wasted.
This should not be, for when rice is
boiled in water the nourishing part is
left in the liquid. When nourishing
food is required it is best to cook the
rice, so that, when tender, it soaks up the
liquor in which it has been cooked.
Water in which rice has been boiled
makes an excellent drink in hot weather;
1t should be sweetened and favored by
being boiled with few strips of lemon
peel. II this is allowed to get cold and
then iced it is really delicious beverage.

No whistles are used by the car
riers in London. Instead, they use
the postman's double knock, which
is made by giving two distinct raps
on the door. Every door is provided
with a knocker and the doors are al
ways locked; even the dwellings of
the very poorest of London's popula-
ton are provided with their knocker
and kept closed. There are perhaps
a few that have four stories, but they
are very few. OF course this refers
to dwellings only. They have large
Office buildings such as are found in
any city in this country.
The postman in England is looked
upon as an integrate part of the gov
ernment, and as such is treated with
the greatest of consideration and re-
spect Such q thing as carrier hay
ing to wait in the hallway of house
for two, three, or sometimes five
minutes before he gets an answer, as
we have to do, and to be unable to
deliver letter and to have to mark
it mo answer" is something unheard
of.
When a carrier starts at the head
of a street to deliver his mail he gives
his double knock on the first and sec
ond house, and the entire street al
most is awake to the fact that the
postman is coming. The result is
they are waiting for him. In an or
dinary city block it would not be
necessary to knock more than two
or three times, once or twice at the
head of the street and again in the
middle The carrier never has to
wait, and this enables him to make
better time. Postal Record.
