THE MOST WONDERFUL BABY

Fame Acquired In But Four short Years
Of Existence.
In 1871 there was born 1T Lubbock,
Germany, one of the most remarkable
characters ever known in the history OF
the world, or perhaps that will ever be
known in all time to come. This human
prodigy was little Christian Henry
Heinecken, who could pronounce every
word contained in the German language
when but nine and one-half mouths
old
When one year of age he knew all Of
the leading events in the worlds his
tory and was as familiar with Penta-
touch as most modern professors are
supposed to be with their first text
books. At fourteen months he could
give a complete history of every book
in both the old and new testaments;
and at two years six months he could
answer any question in geography or
history, ancient or modern. At that
age he was able to hold conversation
with the learned European savants in
either German. French, Latin or Dutch.
He did not live 10 see the end Of his
fourth year, but during the few short
weeks allotted to him little Henry was
a baby, boy. youth, man. and gray
beard, that is. as far as the knowledge
of worldly affairs were concerned. He
had learned more in his three years and
half of life than many of the worlds
greatest personages have been able to
learn in their three score years and
ten"
just prior to his death he was called
before the king of Denmark, his
majesty showing the little prodigy
every mark of respect. Early in 1724
no returned to his native Lubbock to
complete his studies of Oriental reii-
gions, which. added to his other ac-
quirements was too much for his deli
cate constitution. resulted in his death
as above mentioned. See article ''Hein-
ecken" in any good encyclopaedia -

Mr.. Brown as he hitched his big horses
to the wagon, "but / guess we can

1.-THE picnic would have done her
good had she not been done out before
she went. The fact is. she's working
too hard. too constantly, too many
hours. She has too much care upon
her mind. She is one of the women
who cannot shirk responsibility as long
as it rests upon.her. My, man slivel she

other words, her mind must be At rest.
It will do no good for her to stop work,

Brown understood it. He was q good

has laid before the house committee
on post offices and post roads, at the
request of Chairman Henderson,
list of towns which under the law re-
Gently passed by the senate will be
entitled to free delivery service in
event of the bill becoming a law.
The list comprises 636 offices, and
according to the postmaster genor-
aps statement it would require an
appropriation of 100000 for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1893, to
il troduce the service as contemplated
by the senate. The bill authorizes
the establishment of the free deliv.
cry service in cities with 5000 pOpu.

proper manner and we desire to
commend the action of the honorable
Board of County Commissioners in
their efforts for the preservation of
the county buildings and property
and especially in establishing a sys-
tenn of fire protection in the court
house which is now being done
under the direction and supervision
of the Board of County Commission
ers, believing as we do, that it will
greatly lessen the risk of injury and
destruction by fire of not only the
county court house but the many
valuable records, documents and
papers therein contained.
From an examination of the dis
bursements and expenses of the pas p;
year, compared with former years
in administering the affairs of the
county, we find that the county
affairs, under the present Board of
County Commissioners, are being
much more economically administer
ed than heretofore, in as equally, if
not more satisfactorily manner.
We carefully examined the county
Jail and the condition of its manage
ment and we found it to be kept in a
clearly and sanitary condition and
from conversations and interviews
had with those confined therein we
found none to complain of their
treatment or the food furnished
them by the sheriff and jailor in
charge. We, however, would rec
ommend and call to the attention of
the Board of County Commissioners
that some slight repairs are needed
in said Jail; especially the main front
door needs repairing and proper and
suitable grating or bars should be
placed across the transom in said
door to better admit the free circula-
ton of air through said Jail and at
the same time prevent the escape of
prisoners confined therein when
given the liberty of the corridor of
such Jail.
That owing to the limited accom-
mediation of said Jail for limited
number of prisoners and considering
the large number of prisoners that il
is necessary at times to incarcerate
therein and especially as at the
present time, there being a number
confined therein charged with the
highest crimes known to the law, we
deem it but our duty to call the
attention of the sheriff to the. neces-
sity of having proper cautions and
suitable persons employed as guards
about said Jail, who will use every
precaution and care to prevent escape
of such persons.
In the performance OF our duties
as grand jurors, we have been ma
terially aided and assisted by all the
court officers and as well, county
officials, each and all of whom were
ready and willing at all times, when
called upon, to render us such
assistance and aid and give us such
information as they possessed, when
we desired the same, for which we
desire herewith to return our sin
cere thanks to ole and all and as
well, to your honor, for the courteous
treatment we have received and now
having finished our labors, as such
grand Jury, we most respectfully

Mr.. Catron is perhaps the easiest
man to nominate for delegate and
the hardest man to elect in the terri
tory. His convention methods
wouldn't work with the Independent
voters.-Raton Range.
His methods seem about the same
as those of the majority of politi-
ticians, and the only place so far that
we know of their being applied is
Santa Fe county, which he carried
against the Democrats, the first time
in years.
