tain an article on the late Professor
Drummond. written By his intimate
friend, the Rev. D. M. Ross. The source
of Drummond's rarely equaled influence
over Observation-Disclosures as well as indi-
viduals-was his own charm ofcharacter !;
and Mr.. Ross paper will deal especially
with his personal traits. With it will be
printed several portraits, among Others
the last, and what his friends regard as
the best, taken OF Professor Drummoud.
George w. Smalley will contribute an
article on "The Personal Side of the

detail upon his great personal popularity
in England, and the reasons therefor, his
love of sports, his pastimes, his social
duties and diversions, and showing him
as an affectionate son, devoted hus-
band, loving father and brother.

ries, peaches, nectarines and ounce. This
year had the pleasure of seeing them
almost without exception loaded with
fruit.
THE farmers are now busy cutting
their second crop of alfalfa, which is this
year unusually good, and its usefulness
is well and truthfully told by Col. J. G.
Albright, very bright and genial citl-
zen OF albuquerque, who says: Alfalfa is
better than bank account, for it never
fails or goes into the hands OF receiver.
1t is weather proof, for cold does not
injure it and heat makes it grow all the
better. A winter food will not drown
it, and FIRE will not kill it. As a borer
it is equal to an artesian well 1t loves
water and hores to reach it. When
growing there is no stopping it. Begin
cutting twenty-acre field, and when
your last load OF hay is handled at one
end of the field it is ready to cut again at
the other end. For filling milk can an
alfalfa COW is equal to handy pump.
Cattle love it, hogs fatten upon 1t and
hungry horse wants nothing else. If
your land will grow alfalfa you have the
drop on dry weather. Once started on
your land. alfalfa will stay by you like
Canada thistles ora first class mortgage,
but only to make you weather. and
happier. Evidences OF the profitable
ness OF alfalfa on irrigated land in the
semi-ard regions multiply from year to
year.
Like all frontier towns in the south
west, Albuquerque is cosmopolitan IN its
makeup. China, Japan, Africa and Tur-
key are among its foreign contributions.
Its educational interests are well cared

throughits ward school houses which are
many and very well equipped for sue
cesslul work.
"The government Indian school at
Albuquerque numbers among its able
corps of teachers Miss Flora Harvey,
formerly of St. Johnsbury. Rev. Mr..
Ager, formerly pastor of the Baptist
church at Passumpsic may be seen occa-
sionally on the streets of Albuquerque,
and it he is not happy he very success
fully conceals the fact. His daughter,
Mabel g., did herself and family great
credit at her graduation from the uni

The little town of Jamestown,
Kan, is ruled by women, who fill all
the Offices from mayor down. They
promised to rid the town of saloons,
and not being able to accomplish
this by persuasion they used violence.
On a recent night a band of women
demolished the only remaining
saloon in town, knocking it into
fragments and turning the liquor
into the streets. The saloon keeper
was warned to leave town, and a
notice posted threatening to treat
all who attempted to run a saloon
there in the same manner. That is a
womans suffrage town from the
word 60.

sale of land for merely nominal prices, which

pond has been for many years great resort
for fishermen, is noted for its large variety
