ME BARREL sMASHERs.

Property owners do not pay good
money for receptacles for ashes and
rubbish to have them needlessly abused
by the garbage men. The Wayfarer
has frequently noticed that the negroes
who accompany the wagons have no
regard whatever for the boxes and bar
rels and cans set out to be emptied. He
has cen them throw entirely over the
wagon and into the street beyond, the
negroes seemingly regarding it as
good joke Galvanized cans, which
cost their owners several dollars
apiece, are treated with no more care
than boxes and barrels which can be
replaced for a quarter-Of-a-dOllar.
One instance which came beneath the
notice of the Wayfarer was up on Mon
roe street. The person living at No.
1913 put out shoe box filled with
ashes. The wagon and its crew OF
noisy negroes, came up the street. For
some reason best known to themselves
they refused to empty the ashes. and
went on, leaving the box and its con-
tents on the curb. There they remain
cd for nearly a week. Day before yes

Last evening she was sitting in the

that she got up and put on a house

You are certainly not cold" she
asked
Indeed I am" was the response.
"Why, girl, the thermometer regis
ters sixty-fve degrees"
Il cant help that; | am cold. And
besides that, listen to the cruel north
wind blowing around the corners Of

why you must be possessed said
her hostess, looking ct her in surprise.
There is scarcely any wind this even

You must be deaf if you do no. near
it, retOrted the visitor. There don't
you hear it whistling?"
why, you crazy thing, that is the

her hostess. THAT wind that you
hear whistling is exceedingly hot and
sells for so much per foot"

ORDERS FROM HEADQUARTERS.


The pious mother of a bright little
girl who lives on Van Buren street,
was confounded by the sagacity of her
little one on Sunday. The child want
ed to do some sewing for her doll, and
asked her mother if she might do it.
NO, dear" said the mother, this is
Sunday, and l don't think the Lord
would like to see one Of his little girls
doing such a thing as that on His
day"
She left the room to attend to some
household duties, and when she re-
turned she was amazed to see her lit
tie one, usually so Obedient, sitting on
the floor and industriously engaged in
fashioning tiny garments
Mabel, she said. and there was a
sharpness in her tone which was en-
tirely foreign to the manner in which
she usually addressed the child.
didn't l tell you that the Lord would
not like you to sew on Sunday?"
"Hes'm,' answered the child.
Then why do you do it?" asked the
mother, becoming quite angry.
ITS all right, mamma" answered
the child.
What do you mean?" asked the mo-
ther DO you think it is right for you
to disobey your mamma and displease
the Lord ?"
1T won't make the Lord mad,
mamma" said the child. After ycu
went to the kitchen / got down on my
knees and put my hands together and
bowed my head, and said: Please,
Lord, can l sew little bit for poor
Dolly? She amt got no dress to go to
church in and He said: Yes, little
girl and then / knOwed it was all
right"
Since then the mother has been en-
deayoring to decide in her own mind
whether the little one is a child of I'M
usual faith or a gay deceiver For the
time being she is giving Mabel the
benefit of the doubt

iron dust and went back to the hard
ware store and demanded an allowance
for them; of the man who followed a
fly to the railroad station to get the
sugar off its feet. and found. after he
had caught it, that it was the wrong
fly; but the Wayfarer hears a story oG
one of the Wilmington merchants
which is almost as bad. He is a man
who does mean things in moments OF
abstraction, but who, when not alb
stracted, has sufficient self-respect TO
keep his natural instinct within the
bounds of decency. Yesterday a woman
entered his store and stated that she
wanted a pound of good raisins
What price?" he asked.
She told him.
He placed some raisins on the
scales They weighed a trifle over a
pound. She was astounded to see him
pick one larger raisin from a bunch,
bite it in two, and throw half Of it on
the scales again to make them balance.
She said nothing, but when she got
home diligent search was made for that
half raisin, and when it was found Il
was kept in the kitchen as an evidence
of what nherentmeanness and abstrac-
tion will do if left to themselves.

A Hint 10 Those Interested.

1t is learned that two or three foreign
born ours in SocOrro are making them
selves obnoxious by %hurrahing for Spain.
Should our patriotic young men take
them out and execute summary Justice
upon them it is not likely that anything
would be said about 1t by the decent and
loyal element of our citizens.-Socorro
Chieftain.
This is a timely hint. All citizens and
indeed all residents of this country, no
matter of what nationality or race or
blood ties, must remember, that they
are living under this government and
are enjoying its beneficial protection.
In time of war it is very often necessary
that examples must be made. 1t is said
that there are some persons in the terri
tory, foreign born, who are disseminate
ing the doctrine that the s%ympathies of
the citizens Of the territory Of Mexican
descent should be with Spain. This,
should it become necessary, might be
construed as treason and the punish.
ment for such, should the United States
authorities take the matter in hand,
would be very severe. A hint to those
who can read and desire to understand
is sufficient. Those who run, may read
and avoid trouble and the Indignation
and wrath of the many thousands and
thousands Of patriotic men in New
Mexico. N

AN ABLE JUDGE.
What a Democratic Paper Says Of Judge
Parker.
Sierra County Advocated

Sierra County Advocated.
District court for the county of Sierra
convened on Monday, his honor Frank
W.. Parker on the bench. Considerable
care was exhibited organizing the juries
on account of the Importance of many OF
the cases on the docket, and as q conse-
quence this work was not completed I'M
til Tuesday. Judge Parker conducts a
dignifed and systematic court and his
rulings and decisions appear intelligent
and impartial. In him lawyers and
litigants evidently find an able Judge in
an able attorney, which it may be said
is not always the history of courts.
And, of course, the good people of Hills
boro and Sierra county feel very proud
of their prominent citizen, which is ma
tural enough.
