The Australian Ballot Law.

The agitation over the Australian bal
lot law continues, and it is certain to come
up in the Legislature and it looks as though
if the law is not repealed altogether it
will be amended in several important
particulars. This discussion has brought
out some curious facts. 1t is stated by a
reliable man who has travelled all over the
State, that in different neighborhoods there
are scores of men who have never voted
since the law has been in effect. They give
as reason that they dislike the machinery
of the law and that it makes man sneak
and a coward! Augusta Sunday Letter in

Farewell to Flytime.
The chilly winds Of autumn

The chilly winds Of autumn
Now whistle round the door.
And soon III miss your buzzing,
To hear it never more,
No overcoat would fit you,
And furs come rather high,
You'll freeze to death this winter;
Goodby, old fly, good by
You've come to me at midnight,
You've come to me at dawn,
You've fingered on your visits
TIL | wished that you had gone,
But now that death must sever
Forever you and [,
I'll say to you, Bon voyage"
Good-by. old fly. good-by.
I've met you in the butter,
I've seen you in the soup,
Sometimes alone and lonely,
And sometimes in a group,
I've found you in the gravy,
And cursed you in the pie,
But now that you must leave me
Good-hy, old fly, good-by
I've said hard things against vou
And thought whole lot more;
And heaped left handed blessings
Upon you by the score:
But l congratulate you
That when you come to die,
You'll find no frost where you go,
Good-bv, old tiv. good by.

YOur Danger Now

Is from the overworked condition of the
liver and kidneys which are unable to ex-
pei impurities from the blood. This causes
rheumatism. Hoods Sarsaparila has been
wonderfully successful in curing this dis
ease. 1t neutraizes the acid in the blood
and permanently cures the aches and pains
which other medicines fail to relieve.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the best winter medi-
cine because it purifes, enriches and vital
ICES the blood. 1t gives help where help is
needed. 1t tones the stomach, stimulates
the liver, and arouses and sustans the kid
neys. 1t wards off pneumonia, fevers, bron-
chtis. colds, coughs and the grip.

NEW MEXICAN "NOTES,"

There seems to be an impression among
Eastern people that New Mexico is a for
eign territory, and that idea would have
been heightened could they have read the
announcement of a bulletin board in Las
Vegas y hch proclaimed that, ''This even
ny We shall have election returns from
all parts Of the United States and Ne,r
Nerieo." And an election day it was in
real earnest.

ance with New Mexico. and these state

from my personal observation Before
going farther however, would say that
have met and become friendly with as
charming and refined people in New Mex
ice as can be found anywhere, and my
visits at several beautiful homes could not
have been more pleasant. These people
are kept here either by business interests,
or for their health, and have surrounded
their families with all the comforts and
