All He Was Fit For.

The American says that in an Irish
court recently m old man was called
into the witness box, and being old and
little blind he went too far in more
senses than one, and instead OF going uI
the stairs that led to the box mounted
those that led to the bench.
The judge took his mistake good hui
moredly.
"Is it judge you want to be, my
good MANI" he asked.
"Ah, sure, your honor, - was the re
ply. "I'm an oald man now, and mebbC
it's al I'm fit for. "

is what to do with all the accumulat-

have to rustic up more engines. The

all in one train would string out for
about seven miles. Most OF the
freight consists OF corn for the drouth

Disease is to establish health. Pure,

gives appetite and strength and causes

such record for cures as Hoods sar-

New Mexican; Delegate Catron, it
is well known here, has the New Mex
leo statehood bill in the best possible
shape before congress. In this re-
spect he is far ahead Of the delegate
from either Arizona or Oklahoma, for
he has made close study of the tech
nicalities surrounding the rule of pro
cedure in the house and his bill is in
that position in committee that it will
require a unanimous vote to defeat its
consideration by the house, whereas,
in the case of Arizona ard Oklahoma,
objection by one member will defeat
consideration of the bills relating to
those territories. At the last session
Mr.. Catron had the most positive as
surance of earnest cooperation after
election from such members as Speak
er Reed, Congressman Dingley, of
Maine, and Congressman Richardson,
of Tennessee. They promised they
would help him at this approaching
session if he would not then push the
matter. So it now remains to be seen
whether or not the peculiar conditions
which have arisen, both in New Mexi-
co and throughout the country at
large, since these promises were given,
may warrant those named and other
members Of congress in taking fer
ent view Of the situation aud leave
our delegate to endure "the slings and
arrows of outrageous fortune"

MONTBZUMA CASTLE.

From the Engineering and Mining Journal.
One Of the most interesting "cliif-
dwellings" now known, is Mnntezuma
castle, situated about SO miles south
of Flagstaff, aud six mllesfrom Camp
Verde, in Arizona. Like most OF the
habitations OF this class, it Overlooks
an area of irrigable land doubtless
once irrigated) land-in this case the
valley Of Beaver creek. The castle is
butt into a precipitous limestone wall,
and is surrounded by simpler and
and smaller dwellings of the ordinary
cliff type, occupying recesses in the
limestone. 1t is distinguished from
these by its much greater size and
complexity, being four stories high,
and possessing a projecting tower,
supported by wooden beams.
Unfortunately for the preservation
of this remarkable ruin relics Of vari-
Gus kinds, including child's skeleton,
have been found in it, and as cOnsc-
quence excavations have been made
by curiosity hunters, which, as l am
informed by private letters, seriously
endanger the structure itself. l be-
lieve an appeal has been made to the
bureau of ethnology of the interior de-
partment for measures Of preserva-
tion.
That department has done excellent
work in similar case, namely, in the
protection OF the interesting adobe
| buildings of Casa Grande, north OF
Tucson. This structure was already a
ruin when seen by Coronado in 1920.
Mr.. Mindeleff, of the bureau Of eth
nology, under the direction of Major
Powell, has restored it with skill and
/ judgement, leaving its picturesque ru.
inous aspects, aud duly f0rtiiying the
weak points, at which further decay
threatened total and unpicturcsquC
destruction. 1t is to be hoped that
Montezuma castle and other monu
ments of the past may also be guarded
against the tooth Uf time" and the
hand of man.
