,, That was beautiful and bountifui re-
 past deliciously cooked, and set out
 by Susan and Mary. And Mrs. North
 was brought to the table in her roll
 ing chair; ard Willard Blackwell left
 his room, for the first time, to take bis
 place at the table with the family. He looked so soldierly and handsome with his head bandaged and his arm
 in sling. that even Mary was sur prised, and Susan certainly would
 never have recognized him as the grumpy, horrid. cross old man"
 whom she had expected to see. That Mrs. North had guessed his er- rand, he knew at once, by the way her
 voice trembled and broke as she tried to speak to him.
 Susan was regarding him sternly--
 she could not for moment forget
 that he was their "bitterest enemy" But Mary's eyes met his, and their pa- thetic wistfulness went suddenly to his heart.
 He took Mrs. North's frail, white hand and bent over it. Excuse me for speaking of it now," he said, but you don't understand my intentions in the
 least. Gle had not understood them himself until that very moment when he seemed to read them in Mary's eyes.) I beg you not to fear that l will ever do anything to take from you the home which opened its hospitable doors to the wounded stranger. I assure you, everything can be arranged-without embarrass- ing you in the least" "Gcd bless you, sir!" was all the frail little woman could find words to say. But Blackwell, looking up, met
 Mary's eyes again, and now they were luminous like stars. And he thought
 he heard her murmur: "An angel un- awares!"
 They took their places in silence,
 and reverently bent their heads: For the assurance we have just re-
 ceived. o Lord, we are truly thankful" breathed Susan, and though it was not at all what she had meant to say, 1t was good and sufficient grace. For eight days Blackwell was pris.
 oner in that small white home. And
 when the doctor gave him leave to 20 back 10 his own world, he left there with regret.
 On the last day. he suddenly asked Mary what her first impression of him haG been.
 "I thought you were quite tho crossest man I had ever seen!" she said. laughing.
 "And-and old, too, I suppose ?" he ventured. doubtfully Well, yes-quite middle-aged. and venerable! I never was so surprised as when you walked in to dinner on Thanksgiving day-for the 'cross old fellow we had talked about had en. tirely disappeared"
 And in his stead?" he questioned, eagerly.
 An6 Mary smiled; though she only said. "Yourselfl"
 Blackwell carried away with him the consummation of the most thorough ly unbusiness-like business transac- tion of his life-but, with it, the mem- ory Of the loveliest girls face that he had ever seen. transfgured now with happiness and gratitude. And he also | carried with him the firm determine.
 tion-which, in a years time, was hap pily carried out-of utterly effacing
 that miserable first impression from
 eve. Susan's unelastic mind, and of
 winning sweet Mary North to be his
 wife. = Judith Spencer, in Ladies' World, New York.

<s< HEf NY Thank sgivfns Come to me from out my boyhood
 Glimpses of the vanished times; And l long, with memories tender, Meath the autumn's azure dome, Once again to pass Thanksgiving
 With the old folks at home. There'll be feasting in the mansions Rising high twixt sea and sea, Wit and Beauty will be rulers,
 But they will not rule for me; For my thoughts, fore'er unfettered. Like truant lad will roam. And once more I'll spend Thanksgiving With the old folks at home. I can see the olden table
 AS I saw it long ago, When the children sat around 1t,
 All like ninepins in a row: Though the years of youth have vanished Like the storm -beleaguered foam, I can see that dear old table
 And the old folks at home. They are sleeping where the flowers Bloom upon the hillside fair Where the gentle, crested songsters
 Fill with joy the scented air; There is many a sweet Thanksgiving Kept beneath the starry dome; But I love the ones connected
 With the old folks at home. When the harvests had been gathered And November's robes were gold, What a day then was Thanksgiving, O, the stories that we told! Still they bind me gently, gently.
 To the scenes in memory's tome, And my heart, this dear Thanksgiving. Greets the old folks at home. Over all the land we honor
 Let the happy feasts be spread. Let the gay and joyous living
 Crown with love the cherished dead; Many heart will beat with rapture Meath November's azure dome, For affection crowns Thanksgiyings With the old folks at home T. C. Harbaugh. in Ohio Farmer.

BRANDING OF CATTLE.

From the Roswell Recordl
The executive committee of the
live stock exchange has passed the
following resolutions regarding the
branding of cattle, which are Of
interest to all stockmen:
Whereas, the branded portion Of
hide is practically worthless to
the tanner or leather dealer,
because the burning destroys all its
natural qualities and renders it unfit
for any kind of leather manufact-
ure; and
Whereas, At most of the live
stock market centers there are sold
almost every day cattle of the same
shape, quality and flesh at diff
ference of from ten to twenty cents
per 100pounds IN favor of unbrand-
ed animals land
Whereas, the location of a brand
on hide governs to certain ex-
tent its value for MANUFACTURING pur.
poses, C. g, the butt brand beng
placed near what becomes the edge
of the tanned hide, is not SO inju-
rlous as the 50 called side brand,
and is confined to a less valuable
part of the hide: and
Whereas, the slaughterer know
ing that the hide buyer will dis
criminate against branded hides Is
obliged in self protection to make
Il similar discrimination against
branded cattle when making pur
chases, which in the case of Il / 400
pound bullock at present values
amounts to $50 to 50. 80; there
fore be it
RESOLVED, That the executive
committee of the National Live
Stock exchange urge raiscrs, feec'
ers and breeders to discontinue the
use of the branding IRON on The
butts and sides Of the cattle cons
titutins their herds, and in licl
there Of place the same on the neck
where the leather is c0mparatlvely
of little value, thereby placing
such ANIMALS on parity, as far II
their market value is concerned
with the unbranded animals.
RESOLVED, That copy of this res
olution be transmitted to the Prop
er officers of the different Cattl,
raisers' associations and all liv,
stock exchanges, with the reques
that they place this question befor
the members Of their respective as
sociatlOns, and use their intluenc
to secure the abolition of the cus
tom of depreciating the value b.
damaging the hides Of their herds
| with the assurance that their suC
cess in this behalf will be attendet
not only by substantial returns tC
the owners of the cattle, but b,
the thankful apprecitlon OF thcI

M. G. De Baca, superintendent
of public instruction. in letter to
L. G. McGrath, superintendent of
schools for Grant county, says:
'Dear Sir: Your favor Of the
18th inst. is at hand, and in reply
to your inquiry as to whether a
person who has not attended the
normal institute created by chapter
81 of the laws Of 1897 can be en-
ployed as a teacher in any public
school in this territory, | will say
that it is my opinion that section
3 of said act, in addition to other
qualifications imposed upon teach
ers by law, imposes an attendance
upon the normal institute OF the
county in which he resides or
teaches, or upon some othernormal
institute within the year in which
such teacher acts in the capacity
Of a teacher
I'm my opinion the terms of the
act cited above are mandatory, and
the employment of a person to
teach who has not the necessary
certificate of attendance at some
normal institute that satisfies the
requirement of the act would be IN
violation of the law.
Il therefore give itas my opin-
ion that those persons who have
not complied with the provisions
Of section 3, chapter 81, act OF lo9.
are not entitled to teach and should
not be employed as teachers in
New Mexico
Some of the legal fraternity OF
the territory have taken issue
against the superintendent Of pu,
bic instruction and claim that he
is mistaken. They assert that nc
penalty for noncompliance with
the law was enacted. The que .
ton of penalty for non compliance
with the requirements of this law
merits little consideration on the
part of the teachers of New Mexico
The intention Of the law is gcoC
and the benefits to be derived from
the county institute cannot bt
questioned.
| The institute has come to stay. Its
good results have not only beenseel
by the great improvement i'll ou
public schools but teachers them
selves have found their work more
sa tisfactory and the laEorious rou
tine Of the country school great,
lessened by the adoptionso far a
circumstances of each particula
school will admit the fastest and
best methods of teaching. Should
the law be repealed by the next lie,
islature our public school teacher;
would doubtless perpetuate the in
stitutc in every county of the ter
ritory, as they, most of all, realiz'
its great benefits not only to the
public schools but to themselves.

CHICAGO, July 27.-The National BUSH
ness League is preparing for a grand ma
tional peace festival, to be held in this city
soon after the close of the war. The festiv-
tiles Will continue a week or more.

corps, eminent army and navy officers, with
their commands as far as possible, gov
ernors Of states, mayors OF cities, states
men and prominent business men of the
country are expected to be present and

their conferences with the insurgents they
could have left the impression that while
Spain and the United States were at war
any portion of territory taken by Ameri-
can troops would be turned over to the
Cubans The talk about the cooperation
of the Cubans nevertheless was specific
and definite, and they may have taken
some things for granted which General
Shafter did not suppose they could under
stand. In the conditions which obtained at
Santiago 1t was better that no Cuban
troops should enter the city until the Span
ish soldiers had been embarked. This was
a temporary condition, and though General
Garcia's susceptibilities might have been
wounded by it, his good sense would prob
ably have prevented complaint If he had
been left to himself. The presence with
his command of some recent arrivals from
New York explains his grievance though
it does not justify his course On the other
hand, the Cubans were entitled in adj
vance to an explanation of what military
government meant. General Wood has
been emptying the jails and prisons of po-
litical prisoners who were found there,
imprisoned under Spanish judicial pro-
cesses without trial and without recourse.
The Cubans may be pardoned if they failed
10 understand even the temporary con-
tfnuance of the Spanish judicial officers
VINO were responsible for their imprison-
ment. Their cooperation with such Off
Gals could hardly be hearty and their ac-
ceptance under implied penalty of future
disbarment in civil government If they re-
fused would not be valuable There are
problems enough In the future control of
Cuba. Their solution will not be aided by
QGD6ndencp of
cialism which was part of a rotten system.
The Cubans, on their part, in dealing with
the United States cannot afford to let
meddlers who have not shared in their
struggle for freedom influence their
course"
