LESSONS TO LEARN.

Over and over again,
No matter which way turn,
I always see in the book OF life
Some lesson that must learn.
I must take my turn at the MILL
must grind out the golden grain
I must work at my task with reSo-
lutte will
Over and over again.
Over and over again,
The brook through the meadow
runs;
And over and over again
The ponderous mill wheel turns.
One doing will not suffice
Though doing be not in vain
And a blessing falling us once OF
twice,
NAV come if we try again.

HANDSHAKE EXPLAINED
Public Men Find 1t Necessary to Study
the Style.

The different styles Of handshakes
now coming into vogue may interest
Washington socially, but they will
have no official recognition. Officially
handshaking in Washington is already
a science and study. If a stranger
calls upon a member of the cabinet
he is generally greeted with hand
shake. Nearly all of the heads of
departments shake hands with a call
err. The greater the man the more
apt he is to greet one with hand
shake. President Mckinley is an ex-
pert at shaking hands. He presses
quite firmly, smiles and lets go. Ex-
Sec. Sherman's handshake is much
like President McKinley's, only he
holds on longer. Secretary Longs
handshake is a strictly business one;
it is simply brief, brisk pressure,
and then he wants to know what The
callers business is Mr.. Longs as
sistant in the navy department, Mr..
Roosevelt, is a much more accom-
pl;shed handshaker than is the head
of the department. Mr.. Roosevelt

quite so great a degree. A success
full Missouri farmer is quoted as say
ing that the profit in farming on his
farm was to be found in the diff
ference between the amount OF work
that could be done by implements
requiring four horses and those that
used but two. The same principle OF
economy of labor should be made
matter of thought in all farming
operations, or there Will be waste
Discussion Of the point might be ex-
tended almost Indefinitely, but the
thoughtful farmer who will pursue
the line suggested will be better able
to think it out for himself than we
would be to suggest every point to
him.
Scrub stock is another source OF
waste that is still too common on
western farms. Feed and care and
i~terest and use of land and all the
incidents that are involved in stock
growing, are practically the same,
whether the stock kept be scrub or
otherwise, but when the point OF
sale is reached. the difference De
tween "scrub and otherwise" VIII
show in the price received that there
has been a great deal OF waste wn T :
scrub stock is kept. AS connected
with the farm labor problem to which
one must constantly recur IN con-
sidering the question Of waste, 1ncon-
venientlv located buildings constitute
o very common source of waste me
chores on the farm require daily at
+ortion. IF the arran cement OF the
farm buildings with respect to each
other and to the water supply, ETC., is
inconvenient, it may and often
does take two or three times as much
time to d. the work as If the ar
rangements were convenient. and as
this loss is a daily one its aggregate
in the year is large. insufficient CAPT
tai with respect to the amount OF land
farned. too is another fr?quent
source of waste. The reply OF the
farmer might be that he would be
clad to have more capital but that ne
cannot obtain it, This is probably
true, but if he cannot obtain a sur
fcient amount Of capital to farm all
the land he has, he can meet the
d fficulty of the other end by. farming
less land and doing it more efficient
ly. We only aim to suggest some OF
the sources of loss through waste, not
with a view Of saying to the reader,
'sYou must change these things but
rather with the idea of asking him
to think along these lines and de-
termine whether, In the light OF his
circumstances, it would not be Wis
to make some changes and whether
it would not rebound to his profit to
do so. Systematic management and
an economy of the wastes OF the
farm are essential in these days to
making the farm go, to- say nothing
of making money out Of farming. BY
shutting off some of the wastes re-
ferred to and others that will occur
to each farmer under his own con-
ditions. and by regime as largely as
possible on the farm for supplying
the wants of the family, instead Of
being guilty of the waste of buying
what he might produce, the farmer,
if he cannot make fortune In his
calling, may at least render it self
sustaining and increase the indepen-
dence of farm life which has, to a
large degree. been lost during recent
years.-Western Farm Journal

Shirt Waists.

Philadelphfas.ln inquirer.
The efforts of certain wealthy wo-
men two years ago to do away with the
shirt waist upon the ground that it was
common has gone the way of many
other spasms for which there was no
excuse. On Chestnut street yeterday
nine out of ten women wore shirt
waists, and how nice and cool they
looked, too. We have not much to say
for some of women's winter dress, but
in the IN after of their summer attire,
they are far and away in advance of
the average man. Good taste, beauty
and comfort are their object. and it is
easily attained
The average woman has not much
money TO throw away on dress, but she
is learning very rapidly that she does
not need it. Comfort does not lie ex-
clusively in silk and satins. The cheap
materials of which many of her sum-
mer gowns are made compare most
favorable with those composed of more
costly material, and, as one of the pur
pose OF dress is to be as attractive as
possible, the question of cheapness bars
any material. The tan shoes and neg
lige shirts for men were good start.
but where is the neglige shirt now:
Out OF the question entirely unless 1t
has starched collar and starched
cuffs. Where is the neglige in that?
So we say health to the women in
their many-colored summer waists.
They would be pretty in almost any
attire but women should be sensible as
we'll as pretty, and the won len in shirt
waists are both.

history regarding this portion OF the
country, and IL what / known about IL
will do you any good | will relate II.
In 1879 an Individual known as Ola
James settled at the month OF what Is
now called James Canon. AT the
time he settled there the canon had no
name whatever, so the later settlers
named it after him and today 1t is
known as James Canon.
1.-THE next settler TO arrive in the
vicinity of this canon was Old Man
Beard and following him came the
Brantleys. A few months later along
came old man Billiard and man by
the name OF Mosier, and they were
shortly followed by Jim Gerold. Then
water became scarce and for the next
nine years this little group OF settlers
barely made . living. AT the expira-
ton OF about nine years OF misery,
however. a wave OF hope appeared and
gradually prosperity dawned upon
them. Nice dwellings soon began to
he erected and the sound OF the ham
mer was heard in all directions. The
future prosperity of that country was
almost assured.
al Was Abe first white man who ever
vensured to make Q living at Aqua
Chiquita (little water) and l will never
forget some Of my experiences there.
I lived in log house, plastered after
tne Mexican style. BY the way want

dose of the same medicine.

sauerkrsut, bear meat, deer meat, and

time during the day the Indians enter
ed the cabin and after they
had partsken freely of my
edibles, they piled all the meat
/ had on top Of the lounge, spread the
ssuerkraut on top OF the meat, and
poured the molasses over the sauer-
krsut. You can imagine the sight
which met my eyes upon my return to
the cabin much better than / can de-
scribe IL. The smell, too, was some
thing awful.

plenty Of Lumber At AIamogordo.

A. p. Jackson is supplying the great
demand for lumber at Alamogordo
very admirably and to the satisfaction
of all. He carries eastern and native
lumber and the best qualities OF both
His stock comprises every thing to be
found in first-cless lumber yard
doors. mouldings, window frames,
shingles, ETC., ETC.. He says the demand
for building material is very great
and seems to increase as days 60 by.
''At no time since my arrival here has
the outlook for the future OF this place
been in the least discouraging. 1t
seems that those who arrive here jump
right in and work for the success of
the town. 1 have seen towns built
before but 1 never did see q town

tauts SO confident and determined as
they are right here. There is plenty
of water in this vicinity and the people
can see their way through, as the say
ing is. Most of the residences con-
tracted for at-present are to be built of
lumber, but the near future will see
many brick residences in course OF
construction. The demand for build

A Great Country.

A gentleman in La Luz from Tula-
rosa, which place is located eight miles
from La Luz and fourteen miles from
Alamogordo, says that the outside
world knows little of the advantages
to be enjoyed in this portion Of the
country. 1--WE have" he said, ''more
than 35, 600 acres of fine land under cul-
en- up. There is only q small portion
Of this land which requires irrigation
to develop q crop. The most of the
land is visited with rains sufficient to
raise the crops regularly. The past
thirty years have failed to record q
failure of crops in this country and
that fact is we'll worth mentioning, as
few sections can boast of such a bless
ing. The land all the way from Alamo
gordosto Tularosa 1 consider about the
same. There is strip of land near
live miles long which / cons ider as fine
. strip OF land rs is possible to be found
anywhere.
1T was only few years ago that it
was considered impossible to raise any
thing in the vicinity of Colorado City,
Texas. All who visited there with q
view to farming left thinking that
there was not enough water there to
even warrant an attempt at fruit rails
ing. 1t was not long, however, until
gentleman with an ordinary supply of
nerve set out few acres of fruit trees
and the result was astonishing. Now
that whole country is settled up and
the ssettlers are doing we'll. The
Alamogordo soil is hundred per cent
better than that of Colorado City, but
the fact is not generally known. Now
that We have the railroad 1 look for

advance in wealth rs we'll as in popu-
