story as it appeared in that paper;
Rev. Adolph Hoffman, pastor OF the
First Methodist Episcopal church OF

deavor convention at San Francisco.
He was hungry, and he strolled
across the street and dropped In at

nue.. He seated himself at the table
and ordered a meal, the regular price
OF which IS twenty-five cents.

GLIDING six large slices Of bread, and
asked the waiter to bring him another
order of meat and an additional plate
of bread. The waiter did as no was
requested, and the guest proceeded to
butter the entire visible supply OF
bread and wrap it, together with the
meat, in q newspaper. Then he walk
ed up to the cashiers desk and LAID
down a silver quarter.
"Ten cents more, please" said
young Stewart, son Of the proprietor.
"Why, what is that for, young
man P" exclaimed the Rev. Mr.. Hoff-
man. r-ss,
"For the extra meal you are carry
ing away with you," he replied.
"But 1 have already paid you
twenty five CENTS" said the Texan, TO-
d%ignantly. y
"Well, what il you haver That
only pays for what you ate. We don't
agree to furnish two meals for the
price Of one."
Mr.. Hoffman paid the additional ten
cents and hurried over TO the depot,
where he accosted Officer Hammil.
"Come right over here, policeman, !"
he said excitedly. IL have been
robbed"
'Wheref By whomr' asked the
officer.
SPY these people over here at this
restaurant"
The ofiser investigated the case and
found the facts to be as ABOVE stated.
He advised the reverend gentleman
not to. say anything moro about it.
"Well, / don't care so much about

Prot. Libbey had ever chased steers

MINERALS.

1t is no exaggeration to affirm that,in point
OF natural Re sources, none Of the peerless
Rocky Mountain states exceed New Mex
leo. Gold, silver, copper, zinc, lead, coal
(anthracite ard bituiDinousl, fire clay,
alum, sulphur, salt, gypsum, etc, are found

TIMBER AND COAL.

These essentials to the home-seeker are
plentiful and cheap In New Mexico. Tracts

tonseed meal per steer per day was
fed without injury, while seven and
