Trouble has again broken out at
 Pine Cienega, forty miles from Sil- yer City. It will be remembered that over year ago several of the Hall boys went hunting and never came back alive. IL was supposed they were killed near Ash Springs. Since then it is claimed, says the Lordsburg Liberal, the Halls have been trying to beat Mrs. Lizzie Hall, who was the wife of Dick Hall, one of the two who disappeared, out of her husbands estate. This has caused considerable family feeling. Last Friday Ed. Burleson, Mrs. Lizzie Halls father, met old man Hall and Witt. Burleson took 6 shot at Hall and put Winchester ball in his shoulder. Witt took a shot at Burleson and missed him. Hall went after his gun but his horse bucked so he could not get it out. Burleson tried to complete his job but his gun hung fire. Owing to these circumstances the party sep arated without further damage. The indications are that there will be more trouble in the Pine Cienega country, and if the men have got to quarreling among themsslyes, the trouble will result in several killings.-Albuquerque Citizen.

It is gratifying to note that the London Live Stock Journal, in re. ferring to the fact that there has been no increase to record in the ex. port of frozen beef to Europe from the Argentine Republic, remarks that South American meat is held in little esteem in many. countries The fact of the matter is that the produce of the Hereford and Short, horn, which have been imported in to South America, is not exported except Tn very small numbers, be- ing retained for home consumption. The hides of these are said not to be so good as those of the semi wild cattle. The meat which is for the most part exported is from ami mals which have not been stall fed, but are allowed to roam on the prairles at will, without any special care. These animals are spare in flesh and fat, averaging only about 286 pounds of lean flesh free from bone, and A pounds of tallow and fat. The United States need not fear any competition in the expor- tation of beef products, when it has such advantages as we possess in the quality of our cattle over those of competing countries.

Rarely is it that the lesson is learned as

of selfish men and women who make
half the burden and unhappiness of

Mans Courteous Instinct.

The spirit that moves man to step
aside that 4 woman may enter the door

while ladies occupy less easy ones, to

his hat again as he passes her fare to

his head at an introduction and to per-
form the numberless graceful little at

which is the more beautiful because it

not the power to compel it, says the

When man goes to house with the

forget to leave his hat in the
hall, for should the lady refuse
him it will materially lessen the

of 1t. To kneel while proposing is al
ways mistake, often a fatal one. On

Girls have been known to refuse men,
after having. accepted them, for that
sole reason, although they called it
having doubts as to whether they cared
enough for them. Proposals in
dlmly lighted Conservatives should
be avoided. In fact, as a
general principle, 'avoid doing any,
thing as described in books; be your
own natural selves" There would not
be so many futile proposals if they were
made more simply. Among the various
proposing specimens of mankind are
the wild passions" which clasp the
objects of their love in their arms and
shower burning kisses Oh the tops of
their bent heads, regardless of the hair

poured forth, through the maze OF
