Ais Well That Ends Well.

Mrs. Foster was from New England and
regarded life very seriously, never Sinking
or turning back from the path of duty
which lay before her, but she never real
lied that French was at all necessary until
she visited Paris. Then she had to rely Oh
phrasebook, which relieved her mind of
all care, but greatly exercised the mental
powers of the natives with whom she came
in contact. Her nephew. who was study
ing art in the French capital, secured for
her an invitation to reception given by
famous French artist.
Mrs. Foster went, accompanied by her
nephew land the phrasebook). She thought
she knew just where to opeQ,it and read
her lines. She was introduced in French
to the artist. He spoke in French, her
nephew replied in French, until the dear
old lady got bewildered But she felt that
she must say something, so she opened
the inevitable book and read off the first
sentence which met her eye, giving it the
true New Hampshire twang. The artist
smiled sweetly, her nephew also smiled
sweetly, but as Mrs. Foster saw the trans
lation in italics after the sentence she near
ly tainted.
AS her nephew led her away, however, he
congratulated her upon her introduction
and her knowledge of the language.
But, Henry" cried his Mortified aunt,
ibid you hear what said? asked him
how soon could we get something to eat
that's what asked HMM French"
Her nephew smiled-he would have liked
to laugh. "Oh," he replied, ibid you? Well,
auntie, it doesn't matter, for he asked mo
what i'll thunder you said, and l told him |
didn't know" -Harper's Magazine.

He has, during the past few weeks, pur-
chased 10000 additional head for his
ranches in southeastern New Mexico. In
conversation with the Eddy Citizen, he
said:
"The future for cattlemen never looked
brighter, and believe it will result in
great revival of interest and investment
in this particular business, which can not
fail to be of great benefit to the whole of
this territory and western country.
Nov, let me tell you one thing about
the sheep business. No difference what
is done about the tariff on wool, there is
good money in sheep, and for one pro-
pose to invest largely in them. Every
thing concerning the sheep business looks
very favorable to me. I believe it is a
profitable business under any and all con-
ditions, provided it is run right and
given attention. Give it your attention,
make it your business if you intend to be
successful, but above all, try to raise good
sheep, and my word for it, you will make
money. I have canvassed the situation
thoroughly, and the above remarks are
my honest convictions" - Las Vegas

4 CHANCE FOR THE BETTER is TAKING PLACE.

The free trade sentiment is not as
strong in the old solid south as it was.
T he governor of Alabama said the other
day: "a good Democrat should not be
outlawed because he thinks pig hon
should not be on the free list
or because he thinks it ought to
be- The aforesaid Democratic governor
knows that the sum of $120,000,000 is in
vested in northern Alabama in coal and
iron mines; the aforesaid governor also
knows that if coal and iron are put on the
free list, it will injur his state financially
to very large degree; the aforesaid gov
ernor also knows, that in a few years the
protection sentiment in Alabama will be
SO strong as to hurl him and his ilk from
power and will elect Republican gov
ernor of his state. Knowing these things
the governor hedges on the tariff. But
it's bound to come nevertheless and there
will be a political change for the better in
the south and that before many days.

lower branch of congress is concerned,
the statehood question for these terri
tories is pretty well settled. The bills
will probably be passed sooner than was
anticipated. Indeed, it is not unlikely
that they will be disposed of prior to
Tuesday of next week, when it is expected
the tariff measure will be brought for
ward.
But after the bill goes to the senate,
then there ia work to be done. The com
mittee of New Mexico citizens to whom
has been delegated the task of preparing
memorial reciting all the facts in favor
of the admission of this territory should
lose no time in prompt action looking
toward carefully collating these facts and
getting them before the senate.

THIS is a free country, and if anyone
wants to kick generally, he or she has the
privileges; but the men who are now
secretly kicking against the admission
of New Mexico are making grand
and grievous mistake and one that will
react on themselves as we'll as the terri
tory; there is but one way, wherein
New Mexico can attain prosperity and
advancement and that is through state
hood; with statehood will come capital,
more railroads, more immigration COM
panies and bitches, moro storage reser-
voirs and more immigration.

The Pluck and Enterprise OF the
1secOS Company.

The Pecos valley in New Mexico is at
tracing new settlers to its fertile acres.
D. B. Sutherland, who recently bought
the Bresard place in the valley, and has
unbouLded faith in it's future develop
ment, writes that fifty families from
various parts of the country will settle in
the valley within the next two or three
weeks. They will secure farming prop
critics and commence cultivating, most
of them having sufficient capital to
make a good start. Some of the land
companies in Colorado are wondering
why it is that the Pecos country which
everyone knows is at the outposts of
civilization, is favored with constantly
increasing immigration. The great
companies of that section had an eye to
future business when they went into the
desert to reclaim the barrens. While
they put hundreds of thousands of dollars
into irrigation improvement, they we're
not unmindful of the valley of printers
ink, and appropriated a few thousand
dollars each year for advertising the
possibilities Of their section. They are
now reaping the harvest of their good
judgment. 1t is in this respect the lead
ing canal companies of Colorado made
serious mistake. They put millions into
canals, but not one cent into legitimate
advertising. As result they now see
the tide of immigration rushing past
them, and the Pecos valley people are
plucking the persimmons.-Den Field
