IRE RAINFALL RECORD.
October This Year Breaks 1t for
Twenty-Five Years With One
Exception.

A heavy, wet snow fell at Las Vegas
last night. It rained practically all day
yesterday and last night at Albuquerque
and in Santa Fe half an inch Of rain fell
during the night and twenty-eight hun
dredths of an inch was the record this
forenoon.
This is extraordinary for October. Up
to date the rainfall here has been 2.69
inches. This has been exceeded in Octo-
Der but once in twenty-five years, Octo-
Der 1881, when the record was 4.19. In
that year three inches fell prior to the
Goth. Ordinarily October is one of our
dry months. The record proves this, for
it shows that in 1873 the rainfall amounted
to seven hundredths of an inch; in 1875 to
six hundredths of an inch; in 1873 not a
drop of rain fell in October; in 1882
there was trace; in 1889 it was 81, and

all depositors would be paid in full, and
that the bank would probably resume in

gentleman, accompanied by his
wife and children, boarded a Fourth
avenue car at Twenty-third street the
other morning. The wife and children
found seats inside the car, while the
husband sought the front platform for
a smoke.
When the conductor called for the
fares the man gave him two dimes, at
the same time explaining, with a jerk
of his thumb over his shoulder, that
he was paying for the other three mem
bers Of his family seated inside the car.
The conductor rang up the four fares
and then extended his hand with the
remark:
You owe me another nickel
What for?" laconically inquired the
man, blowing a whiff Of smoke around
the corner Of the car.
You'll have to pay for that other
child in there. She's years old, isn't
she?''
Yes, 1 guess she's nearer s."
Then why don't you pay her fare
and not keep me standing here all
day." exclaimed the conductor with
considerable emphasis.
Because l don't want to, that's
why" replied the man on the platform
with grin.
"Then I'll have to call a policeman
said the conductor, spitefully, ringing
the bell to let off a passenger.
"All right, call a policeman-call ten
| if you want to. There's plenty of
them
While this dialogue between the two
was going on the passengers shot many
indignant glances toward the front of
the car at the man who was so mean
that he would not pay his own child's
car fare. The wife's face turned as red
as poppy as she heard an old lady
in black exclaim:
THAT mans too stingy to live"
When the car reached Eighth street

had been signaled by the conductor.

said the policeman, marching up to the
cool, but apparently mean man.
Because she isn't my child" calmly
answered the man.
The policeman looked at the con-
ductor, and the conductor looked at the
man, and the passengers looked at
each other The delightful silence
which followed was interrupted by the
little girl herself, who called out to the
conductor:
