Nell's Letter.
Dear Tom:

Dear Tom:
We've found a lovely place
To spend the summer in.
The pleaSantest by far, we think,
Where we have ever been.
Our rooms are just delightful, and
The whole place is as neat
AS waX-and this will catch you, Tom
We have good things to eat!
No, we're not overcrowded. We're
The only people here;
And so we do just what we please
With nobody to fear.
We dress the way we like, without
A thought of other folks,
And, Tom, dear, we don't have to laugh
At anybody's jokes.
If you were only here, dlar Tom,
1t would be perfect, quite,
Do please give up that stupid yacht
And come tomorrow night!
Pa will be pleased to see you-1es
Pa is here with u.s. too
And 1? Well, maybe can find
A smile or two for you.
So please come, Tom, / know you'll like
The place we've found. as well
AS we do. I shall watch for you.
Your loving little NELL.
How stupid of me! l forgot
To give you the address,
Or tell you where we are this year
I'm sure you'd never guess.
And yet it's a familiar house,
Where you have often been
oh. Tom, there is no place like home
To spend the summer in.

Carn Are HOgfish.

Getting rid of hsh is the purpose in Ne
vada, as the Lyons Times says: Who
ever planted carp in the Carson river did
a very foolish thing. The carp is regular
hog of fish. and eats the food of the
other fish so clean that there is none left.
Even catfish cannot live where carp
abound, and they abound wherever plant
ed. as they spawn by the million. Not on
ly do the carp eat up the fish food, but
they devour everything else, and actually
make it impossible for waterfowl to live
on the river. Fine trout might be raised
in the Carson river below here now if 1t
were not for these hog fish, and how to
get rid of them is now what is bothering
snortsmen and fishermen.

Grated with sketches of men and women
riding bicycles and the cakes in the form
of wheels. This style of table decora-
ton is worked out in athletic teas,
where tennis rackets and tennis players
are reproduced, as well as the imple-

suns and general mugginess have had
little appreciate effect upon cyclers this
last week, even the beginners having
toiled perspiringly around the circle,
buoyed up by faith in the Jack Spratt
doctrine which they are taught, /. e.,
that those who are fat will become lean
and those who are scrawny will grow
plump. Perhaps this is why the instruct
ors say that women learn to ride wheels
quicker than men do.

means of defense in case of attack by
man or beast upon a lonely road. Eng
lish cyclers frequently provide them
selves with "knuckle busters" (brass
knuckles) for such an emergency. The
instrument is known in this country only
as thieves weapon, but it is a simple
and effective implement for one who

Novelist and Mouse.

In his far-off home in the South Sea
islands the late r. L. Stevenson, whose
Treasure Island some of the boys
have doubtless read, had many hours of
illness and would often try to forget
his pain by footing" on his fageolet.
Over the couch on which he used to lie
there was q shelf, and on this shelf a
mouse would often venture, and at length
it became so tame that it would delight
in Mr.. Stevenson's caresses. If it got
no immediate attention it would scratch
on the shelf and make a whine to at
tract it's friend. and after time per-
shaded it's spouse also to come and see
the musician, until at last their visits

Elephant Ways.

Nothing but a ride on an earthquake
could be compared with the sensation of
being run away with by an elephant.
Nothing stops his wild rush. and he does
not swerve for an obstacle. but goes
straight at it. A few shakes fling off
every hing on his back and the rider has
but second or two in which to make
up his mind which overhanging branch

LOVE ON A BICYCLE.


When Love upon his bicycle
Goes rolling down the street.
He has no time to hear my rhyme,
Or rest in roses sweet
When Love upon his bicycle
Goes glimmering down the street!
When Love upon his bicycle
Goes dashing down the street,
He has no time for bells that chime
Nor yet for hearts that beat
When Love upon his bicycle
Goes neadlong down the street!

his many friends and admirers sought to
secure for him the Democratic nomina-

strangely denied him, and the nomination
for vice president, accorded to him by his

late to be fruitful of success. Since then he
has lived in the restful retirement of his

Lh8UR'S BIC MEETING.

While there have been labor conven-
tions at which the attendance of dele
gates was numerically as great as this,
the 10Th annual convention of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor now in session
in New York represents the greatest
number of workingmen ever represented
in single congress. More than 500, 900
organized workingmen in the United
States have sent delegates - ll5 in
number-to represent them. Perhaps
100000 workingmen would be nearer
the mark, but the officers of the Fedora
ton are conservative as to numbers, and
only reckon those who are in good stand
ing with the subordinate unions.
1t is nov twelve years since the FEEDER
alton met in New York in convention,
since which time it has been expanding
until it has its representatives in every
state in the Union and all over Canada.
1t has affiliated with it eighty national
organizations. There is one woman
delegate, Miss Frances Martell, who rep
resents the Garment Workers Union, of
Chicago.

TINE LAND COURT.

The New MEXICAN was just four days
ahead of its esteemed contemporaries in
publishing the news that President
Cleveland had renominated all the JUS
tices of the U. s. court of private land
claims.
The news was received here with much
general satisfaction, and was particu-
larly agreeable to the attorneys who
above all others, perhaps, appreciate the
difficulties under which this high trib-
unal has labored in performing its
duties. Now, with the experience they have
had, and with their broad and generous
construction of the law so ably and fully
sanctioned by the U. s. supreme court, as
in the case of the Cubero grant, the lard
court may resume its work with more
confidence and energy than ever. Its
work has already been of immense bene-
fit to New Mexico.

WHAT WILL he pU7

Editor Thomas Hughes, of the Albu-
querque Citizen, will be free man again
after the 24th inst. He will be released
from Imprisonment on ''the night before
Christmas" a very happy time for maa
to be free and feel, as Mr.. Hughes I'M
doubtedly will, that he has paid in full a
penalty Justly inflicted for grievous
wrong deliberately done at the bidding of
his political party's boss. And if Editor
Hughes has learned wisdom by his recent
bitter experience he will, upon regaining
his liberty, proceed direct to the bosom
of his interesting family and make no
noise about it. Any other course would
be in shocking Lad taste. Editor Hughes
is in no sense martyr, and all the howl
ing his friends may do can not make him
one.
