ATTEMPTED HOLD UP.
This Time at the Box Ranch--One
 Shot


 Last Monday night the gang of high waymen who have been terrorizing the neighborhood about Fort Wingate, at tempted to hold up the employees at the Box $ ranch, not far from Fort Win gate. There were several cowboys at homo at the time, and fusilade was opened, resulting in the wounding of Charles Smith, one of the highwaymen. The ball entered his right arm above the wrist and the bone was badly shat tered. Armstrong and another of the would-be hold-ups made good their es- cape. Smith was taken to Fort Win gate and his wound was dressed, and Thursday noon was brought here by Lieutenant R. B. Wallace and military guard, who swore out q warrant against Smith for grand larceny.
 The prisoner pleaded guilty to the charge of holding up Lee Poon, the Chinaman at Fort Wingate on or about the last of October and relieving him of Il watch and some money, and Judge Maxwell bound him over to await the action of the next grand jury in the sum of $500, and in default of the nec- ossary bail bond, Ee was taken to Albu- querque by Deputy Sheriff William Bowers.
 Unless Armstrong and "Wiudy Bill" leave the country Tn short order, they will be caught and sent up. This gang of robbers have been committing uu merous robberies and hold-ups in this section of Bernalillo county during the last eighteen months, and every effort is being made to capture them, not withstanding that they have some friends who shield them and cannot be induced to give their whereabouts away.--Gallup Cleaner.

Argument in the French trial was held yesterday. Wednesday afternoon, after which the instructions were given to the jury, aud it retired for delibera- tion.
 The jury remained out all night, le, ing unable to agree upon verdict.
 At five minutes past noon today, the jury returned verdict of not guilty, thus clearing the defendant of tie charge of forgery.
 The verdict has been the general topic of conversation on the streets and is criticised generally by the majol- ity of citizens as not being warranted by the evidence. --Journal-Miner.

PATENTS. Notice to Inventors.

There was never a time in tbehistory of our
 country when the demand for inventions and
 improvements in the arts and sciences gener-
 ally was so great as now. The conveniences
 of mankind in the factory and work -shop. the
 household. on the farm, and in official life.

 char ge in the administration of government docs not affect the progress of the American
 inventor who. being on the alert. and ready to perceive the existing deficiencies, does not
 permit the affairs of government to deter him from quickly conceiving the remedy to over come existing discrepancies. Too great care ! cannot be exercised In choosing a competent and skfllful attorney to prenare, and prose- cute an application for patent. Valuable i'm ! terests have been lost and destroyed in innu-
 merable instances by the employment of in-
 competent counsel and especially is this sd-

 strength of the patent is never considered In

Corporal Punishment.

Before school teacher can lawfully inilict corporal punishment on pupil there is roundabout manner of secur- ing the privilege. At the July meeting of the territorial loard of education the following regulation was added thereto:
 "Resolved, that instructions to teachers be amended by adding the following rule: Any teacher before in- flicting corporal punishment upon Q pupil, must first notify the parents or guardians and one member of the board of trustees, of his or her inten- ton at least ore day before such pun ishment is to be inflicted, stating the day and the hour at which the punish ment will be inflicted and extending an invitation to such parent or guardian and trustee to be present. The punish ment must be inflicted in the presence of the school.
 Any teacher who inilicts corporal punishment other than in the manner provided for above, will subject his or her teachers certificate to revocation.

THE capacity Of watch for keep
ing good time is very much governed
by it's construction and it's more or
less perfect finish. 1t cannot be eX-
pected of the best horizontal watch
that it should always keep good time,
and even less SO Of the inferior make
OF the machine-made watches which
are nowaways manufactured and sold
for $40, $40 and $50 in such large
numbers. The changes of oil, the
variation in temperature, the diver
sity OF humidity Of atmosphere. all
greatly affect the going OF watch.
Indeed, it is only the most perfect
finish which neutralizes the adverse
influences to the greatest degree. AS
a matter OF fact, no watch keeps per-
fectly correct time, and even the best
chronometers used in observatories
and on board ships must be regulated
according to tables which are kept to
fix the variations to which all watches
are liable.

Valuable Find OF Il Diver,

A very important archaeological
find was made not long ago in the
harbor of Saloniche by diver in
search of sponges. When the diver
came up from the bottom of the sea
he displayed a handful, not of
sponges, but of silver coins of very
antique date. He turned over the
coins to the proprietor of the boat,
who ordered him back to find some
more coins. He went down to the
bottom Of the sea several times in
succession. Finally he found, at a
depth of about 100 feet, an iron box
which contained nearly eighteen
pounds of silver coin. The proprietor
of the boat made the seamen in his
employ promise to be silent He
made them some presents in money,
and the find remained secret for
nearly three months. Recently one
Of the seamen, having quarreled with
his master, betrayed the secret to the
Greek Government, and the latter
compelled him to produce the coins.
They date back to the days Of
ancient Macedonia, and are in an ex-
cellent state Of preservation, show
ing the bust of Alexander the Great,
holding in one hand the scepter and
in the other a bird, seemingly a
falcon. The coins have been turned
over to the museum at Athens.

Repaid with Interest.

Dignity Is associated with honest
poverty as often, beyond a doubt, as
it Is with wealth; and it Is not al
ways safe or wise for those who are
better-to to affront the self-respect
Of the poor. A story is told of the
youth or woman who died in old
age in Paris lately which illustrates
this fact. When she was poor girl,
working for her living, she took her
dinner each day in restaurant kept
by woman named Clemence-a we'll
known place in Paris, where people
of limited incomes were in the habit
OF eating.
The young woman, whose name
was Theresa, received her salary
monthly, and it was SO small that it
was often spent day or two before
payday came around again. On such
occasions Madame Clemence gener-
ally gave Theresa credit until pay
day, although she regarded her with
suspicion. Theresa always paid her
debt whom she received her salary
But one day toward the end of the
month, when Theresa had been par
ticularly unfortunate in her affairs,
she presumed too far on Madame
Clemence's generosity. The custom
airy patrons OF the restaurant had
gathered preparatory to the meal.
Theresa, who had eaten but scrap
OF bread that day, was among them.
and very hungry. Madame Clemence
came up to her and said, roughly:
What do you want here?"
"My dinner" Theresa answered
meekly.
We'll, you can't have it here the

THE need Of place to drop down
for moment and forget things Is a
crying one in most homes, says
Womankind. There ought to be
enough sofas around to accommodate
all the family. Five minutes rest
will prevent many family row, and
how can you get rest If you have to
pull shams off the bed and roll up
the coverid? A shabby old lounge
where you can get at 1t is worth its
weight in gold; and you won't want
to die half so many times If you
make use Of 1t. The loosening of the
tension for ever SO few minutes may
save your reason some day. Don't
go out and try to walk off your wor-
ries; don't tell them to your friend,
either. Just throw yourself down
on the sofa for a little while; shut
your eyes and pretend you have not
a care. The worries will be lighter
before you realize 1t, your brain will
be clearer and your heart stronger to
meet those that press closest. Roll
the pillow up in ball or bury your
face in it and let few tears come.

Unframed.

She was dressed SO shOWily that
everybody's attention was arrested by
her the moment she entered the car.
She was very thin, very pale, and
her voice was weak and high-pitched.
She sank into seat with a sigh and
a murmur Of discomfort, and at once
took from her sachel lemon and
began eating 1t. BY this time 1t was
discovered that she was a young girl.
She ate the lemon. and announced to
her companion that it was the third
she had eaten that day. Her COM
plexion suggested paste, she was so
nervous as to arouse sympathy, so
irritable as to produce a feeling OF
pity for anyone who had to live with
her. A few years will find her a
physical wreck. She quoted from
mamma" SO loudly as to make one
familiar with that unwise persons
views on every subject, and at the
end Of two hours one knew the con-
dition Of her wardrobe The journey
began early in the morning, and for
the lover of lemons ended about four
in the afternoon, and she never
stopped talking for longer than five
minutes, and she ate lemons in that
interval. Temper, voice, manners,
appetite, all were left unframed by
unwisely indulgent parents. One
shuddered when one thought Of the
kind Of woman that must result
from such method, or lack Of
method, Of rearing. Shame on the
mothers who allow their children to
develop so unnaturally. The end of
each child's training should not only
be the developing of that child, but
should look forward to the educating
of the fathers and mothers Of the
next generation. The benefit con
ferred on posterity is not confined to
tree planting.

IT is false economy on the p.rt
help on the farm 1t is hard to get
the best, and fairly good help is
growing scarce, partly because the
requirements of the farm are greater
than they used to be. Muscular
strength counts for much less than it
formerly did. Skill and the techni-
cal knowledge needed to do things
easily counts for much more than
ever before. A man awkward with
tools may do more damage in an hour
than his wages will come to in a
week. If the help is to be boarded
in the farmers family, its moral
character deserves some care. Tramps,
who roam the country, getting one
or two days work here and there,
when driven by hunger cannot be de-
pended on. Most such will leave
when the need for hard work is
greatest. So far as possible, farmers
should have help hired by the year or
season, and depend little. If atsall, on
extra help 1t requires good judg-
ment in making farm rotation, that
will give continuous work through
the season to all the help employed.
1t is just this point that most often
makes the difference between the
successful and the unsuccessful
farUar

To THE landsman unfamiliar with
the formation of the southeastern
coast of the United States the awful
loss OF life and property from the re-
cent storm there will seem unac-
countable. That number OF peo-
pie variously estimated at between
700 and 1000 should have been de-
stroyed by the sea, they, themselves,
being at the time on the land, does
not seem within the bounds Of prob
ability. The fact is that most of the
harm done befell the little group Of
islands which clusters around the
southeastern shore Of lower Carroll
ma These islands, low, sandy and
OF ragged contour, are in many cases
the mereSt crumbs of land, cut of
from the continent by lanes and
troughs Of the sea. Along the entire
southeastern coast they are gener-
ously sprinkled. Occasionally one
meets a continuous stretch Of them,
severed only by shadows, and forming
thus long river of salt water on the
landward side. In times Of compar-
alive calm the island-dwellers are as
secure as they could be on the main
land. In such storms as that of re-
cent date their beautiful but treach-
erous homes become the scenes Of an
elemental violence sublime in its ter
rors. The islands grouped about
Beaufort became little better than
sand-bars in the storm. With sea
so high that the short journeys to
firmer ground were impossible, the
habitants of some of them might as
well have been on so many RATS.
The exceptional character of the
storm may be estimated from the
fact that disaster so extensive and
tragic has not occurred since 1856,
when hurricane on the Gulf of
Mexico wiped out every vestige of
life upon n shred of island near the
delta Of the Mississippi.

THE inevitable consequences of the
aggression of the women's rights
movement are becoming apparent in
England. Half a dozen or more
cases Of men suing women for breach
Of promise of marriage have come up
In English courts recently. A month
ago an action Of this kind by a Mr..
Bourne against Lady Cowan was
called in London; but the lady had,
in the meantime, compromised the
matter with the injured swain, and
1t was withdrawn.
