LIVE STOCK INTERESTS.
Some Notifications of the Law Which
Growers of New Mexico
Will Ask For.

At meeting of New Mexico stockmen
held last evening under the auspices of
the territorial cattle sanitary commits
sion, President j. E. Saint presided and
Geo. L. Brooks acted as secretary.
Among those present were Hon. M. s.
Otero, Hon. T. D. Burns, Col. Mothersill,
Judge s. E. Booth, Representative Hinkle,
Representative Hopewell and others in
terested in both the cattle and sheep
growing industry.
| After due discussion it was agreed to
ask of the legislature several modifica-
tions in the existing stock laws. One of
these proposed changes suggests the
registry of all cattle brands with these Gre
tary of the territorial cattle sanitary COM
mission instead of with the several coun-
ty clerks as now provided by law. Such
registry is to be made compulsory. In
this manner all conflict of brands, which
is now responsible for no end of annoy
ing disputes and litigation among stock
owners, may be done away with. Take,
for instance, the "7HL" brand; there are
more than fifteen cattle owners in New
Mexico whose herds carry this brand and
when it comes to hunting down strays or
locating stolen stock great confusion
follows because of this fact.
Another suggested change enlarges the
scope of the present commission, provid-
ing for changing its title to read, "The
New Mexico Live Stock commission"
and contemplates giving it certain iuris-
diction over the sheep interests of the
territory. This feature is deemed neces-
sary owing to the laxity with which the
scab law Of two years ago has been dealt
with. As matters now stand little heed
is paid. to the scab law; there is nobody
to look after its enforcement, and as a
result New Mexico sheep are under a
cloud among buyers from northern and
eastern states.
Bills embodying these and other modi-
ications of minor import will be drawn
and laid before the law makers for their
consideration.

REPORT OF THE LIBRARY TRUSTEES.

The report of the board of trustees
Of the territorial library through Judge
Edward P. Seeds, its chairman, sets
forth the various losses sustained
by the library on account of the
burning of the capitol, and recommends
that reasonable appropriation be made
for rent since that time. II is recon-
mended that the library be given more
intimate connection with the territorial
government; az it stands now, it is more of
a law library than anything else. 1t is
tentatively suggested that the board of
trustees be composed of the governor,
the Judge of the district court and the
president of the university, and that it be
given authority to remove the librarian
for Negligence. The expenses of the
library last year were less than 5000

American Levity.

Singularly enough it appears that Poe,
the only absolutely distinct genius our
country has yet produced, was incapable
of hurnor and that even his levity was
artificial. Hawthorne, next to Poe in
originality and far above him in style,
was but meagerly equipped with smile
provoking material. Bryant, our great
est poet, maintained lofty seriousness
throughout his work.
1t may be sacrilege to say so, but the
truth is Lowell was the founder of our
levity. He never could be quite relia-
bly, serious thinker, but could at any mo-
ment break off into funmaking. Humor
is good in fresh and natural state, but
so is peach. Cut and dry either, and
you have poor article for regular diet.
We Americans have fed upon laughable
things until our faces show the wrinkles
of q grin even when in solemnest repose.
We are never sure of one another, but
must wait awhile after each communi-
cation to find out whether or not it Is a
joke. The effect Of highest sincerity
cannot be reached in the midst of all this
hurly burly of chatting voices. How can
one be serious while everybody else is
grimacing?- -Chautauquan.
