HE sMoKEDIN THE BEDROOM.

I'm Idaho of late q wife or that re-
glon sought a bill Of enforcement, one
count in her indictment being that n T.
husband smoked n pipe in her bedroom
In his demurrer he declared that he
smoked only the best tcbac tim: his
wife knew he smoked when he married
her and might nationally have expo cted
the occasional fumigation of their DOR
m.tory. He declared also that he
hnbitually smoked on the door STEP
except when it ralne-1. and that his wife
objected TO his going TO the saloon when
1t did; as to his smoking in the parlor,
he averred that he tried 1t once in her
early conjugal days and had no inclina-
t!ocl to repeat the experiment. He was
therefore forced to take occasional re-
fuge In the bedroom, but generally
smoked out of the window. as a loving
and considerable husband should do.
No statute was found in the Idaho
codex covering the case, which the Judge
advised them to settle out OF court
on basis OF mutual tolerance and con-
ciliation.

Washington, d. c., I
June 26, 1897.
To the Editor of the New Mexican.
Dear Sir: / went Yesterday in search
of the quartermaster general and found
him out of the city.
/ had an interview, however, with the
officer in charge of his Office during his
absence, Colonel Gillss. He tells me
there is an appropriation of 100000 a
year for keeping up national cemeteries,
and they have to be careful in it's ex-
penditure. Water for them costs from
so cents per 1000 gallons all the way
down to 8 cents per 1000 gallons.
He asked me to get an estimate made
of about how much water would be need
ed for the purpose desired and at what
cost per 1000 gallons.
l of course made the obvious point at
once that being in an arid region neces-
sarily water costs more.
Iexpect to leave for home in day or
two, but we can go ahead with the matter
by correspondence until my return next
fall. / believe we will accomplish this
object. Very truly yours,
FL. B. FERGUSON.
