-Having had a vacation during the
busy months OF summer it is now in or
der for the Otero County Horticultural
Society to resume its regular meetings.
During the past two years this organiza-
ton has done much for the fruit growing
interests of Otero county and the valley
generally. Now that a greater number
Of our farmers are actively engaged in
horticulture than ever before the meet
ings will be more largely attended and
profitable than in the past. Officers Of
the association: When shall the first
meeting for the present season be called?
Watermelon Day and the Pueblo
Fair ought to be olive branches in the
eyes OF Pueblo and this portion of the
Arkansas valley. We have had some
wordy friction over the division OF the
Nile-like waters of the serpentine Arknn-
sas, but we generously interchange
courtesies on festival and fair days. The
two communities are bound together by
commercial and social ties and all should
be peace and harmony between them.
Pueblo did much toward swelling the
crowd on Watermelon Day and Otero
county contributed largely to the success
of the Pueblo fair. "Let us have peace
and the fullest interchange Of commodi-
ties for the promotion of our mutual
prosperity.

"a little while" 1t is only for a little
while that you are to serve your Master

Housekeepers need one day in seven
for rest as much as any other class Of
laborers. but too often the Sabbath is
crowded with work that seems newt
able. While some duties must be per-
formed. Sundays work may be greatly
lessened. Much work may be saved on
Sunday in the cooking During the week
the wise housewife will plan all her
Sunday meals and purchase everything
needed. 1t does not look very consis-

Living at Our Best.

Do not try to do great thing; you
may waste all your life waiting for the
opportunity which may never come
But since little things are always claim
ing your attention, do them as they
come. from great motive, for the
glory of God, to win his smile of APP
prevail, and to do good to men. 1t is
harder to plod on in obscurity, acting
thus than to stand on the high places
of the field. within the view of ALL and
to do deeds OF valor at which rival
armies stand still to gaze. But no such
act goes without the swift recognition
and the ultimate recompense of Christ.
To fulfill faithfully the duties of your
station; to use to the uttermost the
gifts Of your ministry; to bear chatting
annoyances and rival irritations as
martyrs bore he piilory and stake; to
find the one noble trait in people who
try to modest you; to put the kindest
construction on unknd acts and words:
70 love with the love OF God even the
unthankful and evil TO be content to
be a fountain in the midst of a wild
valley OF stones, nourishing a few
lichens and wild flowers. or now and
again a thirsty sheep. aud to do this
always and not for the praise Of man,
hut for the sake of God~this makes a
great life.-F. Il. Meyer.

Shoe Superstitions.

When you buy pair of new shoes
never put them on a shelf higher than
your head, unless you want to bring
bad luck; and if you biacken them be-
fore you have had both shoes on you
may meet with an accident. or even
have sudden death. This is an old
Irish superstition. The Scotch girls be-
lieve that if they drop their shoes be-
fore they are worn trouble will ensue,
while French lady losing her heel is
sure of some disappointment in love,
and a German mother in tn same pre-
dicament feels that she will soon lose
one of her children. You must not put
your right shoe on your left foot OF
your left on your right, nor must you
put your left shoe on before the right
unless you want bad luck. This super
stition dates back to one of the EN-
perors OF Rome. who, it is recorded,
put on his left shoe one morning and
came near being assassinated during
the day.

were made of linen thread to initiate
the high relief of the needle-made
thick cord, worked over with thread or

define the salient points in the pattern.
Ihus the term guipure was applied to
the thread laces with guipure reliefs.
1hlS designation has since remained in
use IN reference to all laces without
grounds in which the various patterns
are united by bridges The term gui-
pure is also applied to those bold,
Moving patterns, united by a coarse

the products of Flanders and Italy.
Lace consists Of two parasitic pat
