safras the best bows, and white oak
the best baskets. In England it is
claimed that yew tree post will last
longer than an iron one The boys
ought to know that the barks of all
trees are nonconductors of heat and
cold and keep them cool in summer
and warm in winter, and the green
leaves are the lungs that inhale the
carbon from the air and not only make
wood for the tree, but purify the
atmosphere that we breathe. And
hence every habitation ought to have
some trees about it. The boys ought
to know about those beautiful islands
in the sea that are of coral formation
and kept growing until they got above
the water, and then some cocoanuts
came floating along and lodged there
and sprouted and grew and the leaves
of the trees fell down and rotted and
made soil for more cocoanuts, and in
course of time the island became
paradise. That is the testimony of
the rocks. The boys should watch
the little gassomer ball that floats
away in the air from the sweet listle
dandelion plant. So light and so
feathery that it would take thousand
Of them to weigh an ounce and yet the
seed are there for more plants and they
are wrapped, as it were, in a blanket
to protect them from the winter cold.
So it is with the seed of the Scotch
thistle that is blown about by breath
Of air like it was nothing, but it has
the germ, the embryo of life III it, and
will find lodging place somewhere
and sleep until spring, and then make
no mistake. It will not come up

thistle. In the horticultural gardens
at London are raspberry plants chat

years.
Study nature little as you 60 along,
boys, and it will make you wiser and
better and happier men. Find out
why it is that a dead bird weighs more
than live one and by what force Or
power buzzard can sail round and
round in the air above you and never
bat wing nor waye feather.
It isent every boy who can be Ben
Franklin, but every boy can learn
something every day, and even one
fact day will in course of time make
him wise man. What BOY was
Franklin (? Whata man ! The young
est Of seventeen children, apprenticed
to candle maker, next to printer ;
ran away from Boston to Philadelphia
when seventeen years old and hired to
Mr.. Read, and fell in love with De-
borah, his daughter was never idle;
read and studied in every leisure mo-

NOTES.

A. B. Berggrene was an incoming sheep
man from Springer, last evening.
Large numbers of cattle are coming into
Colfax county, from the south, to BIZ
wintered.
This month It is estimated that over
50,eu0 lambs will be shipped from Colfax
county to Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska.
At the approaching special term of Col
fax county district court at Springer, there
are seventy criminal cases pen ding and 112
civil suits.
A special meeting of the Southeastern
New Mexico sheep breeders association
will be held at Roswell on Thursday,
October 9th, 1897.
Charley Russell returned, last evening,
from a protracted sheep gathering trip to
Mccormick brothers.
H. AZ. Porter. OF Denver, but who is
largely interested In stock in northern
New Mexico, has purchased over 10000
head of sheep this fall.
6heepmen are not in harmony with the
idea of paying one cent a head for lambs
shipped out of the Territory, and some are
paying it under protest.
A number of cattlemen In the southern
part of the Territory, are in favor Of using
a rope on a few cattle rustlers, as their
losses are getting too heavy.
The New Mexico sheep sanitary board
will convene at the office OF the secretary,
Antonio Lucero, in the Kihlberg row on
plaza, Tomorrow. The officers Of the
organization at a distance, and who are
expected in Las Vegas, Tomorrow, are
Sol Luna, Of Valencia county, president;
Jose NJ. Gonzales, of Union county, vice
president and w. s. Prayer, OF Chaves
county, treasurer.
Cattle and sheepmen are feeling good
over the prospects of al open winter
The theory is put forward that. the late
moisture will hold back frost and allow
stock to go into the winter in prime condi-
ton, which will better fit them to stand
the late storms, and again as there is grass
enough on the ranges to last for two
seasons, there is no danger of spring
deaths from lack OF food.

II CIRCUS COMING.

1.-THE circus is coming = ia the delightful
shout OF the small boy as be gazss upon the
big bills that announce, the date OF the
great tent entertainment which is to be In
Las Vegas, Wednesday, October 18th. The
enthusiasm OF the small boy is shared by
his elders, and when the circus comes his
father and mother and sisters and cousins
and auuts-seven or eleven Of them-will
go, just to take that small boy to the CIR
Gus. They may, however, be excused when
big railroad show In coming with an aggre-
cation of ring attractions and great ZOO
logical collections from the juugles and
forests of five continents. There is a large
three-ring circus, a monster menagerie,
which, by the way, is entirely distinct and
separate from the wild beast show, which
consists Of ali kinds Of savage brutes, ex-
hibited in startling performances, in o
huge, s~teel-barred circular cage, the came
as seen in European capitals, Now York
and Chicago, and at the Atlanta expo
sition. Then there is q real Roman hippo-
drome, and a world of wonders which
space forbids a detailed account of bere.
All in all, the Main shows are held to be a
most surprising and pleasing unification of
all that Is new and wonderful In the great
circus world. There will be a grand street
parade and the tent will be pitched at the
usual place between the two sides Of town.

"TnR POLICE

The second nights appearance OF the
Pearson Dramatic Co. at the Duncan, was
played to a good house and arpreciative
audience.
The play, "The Police PATROL" although
not as heavy as the production of the pre-
vious night, was excellently rendered, and
each character acted his or her individual
part so clsserly that individual mention
would be an injustice TO the ones not ia
vored.
The third and fourth acts, where the two
beautiful little white horses, hitcbed to the
patrol wagon, came IN, was especially re-
~alistic, and the dumb brutes, il such they
may be called, carried oat their part Of the
program to perfection.
The whole play was enlivened by ludic-
rous situations, so realistically blended
with the tragic that the audience were al
ways strung to the highest pitch Of mirth
and expectancy.
The grand, scenic production, 1.-THE Land
of the Midnight Sum-" will be put on, to-
night, aud it goes without saying that the
house will he packed to witness II, after
the showing made by the company on the
two previous nights.
