BE KIND TO IOER HORSE

The wagon was avlIy laden with
great bags of metal, t,o heavy for Il
single horse to draw, one would have
Thought.
1t turned INTO side street and half
way down the block again turned into
an alley at the rear of a livery stable.
1t required consid |rable Juggling on
the part of the horse TO pail the load
up the incline of the alley driveway,
but he did it, and the driver looked
pleased when the back ~hee's had
made the rise and settled down to
level ground. At the barn door. it
was nee ssary to turn the wagon
around completely and back II. Sure
ly one horse could net do that. The
turn was made easily enough but there
remained.
"Back him ur, Jim. said the MIR
pulling lightly at the leins.
The horse braced his fore fe, t and
showed. The wagon did not move.
The man got down from the seat
and went around to the back of the
truck aud the horse put every muscle
to the strain. Back" The wagon
moved this time at least a foot. Two
more and the back wheels would be
over the threshold of the barn door.
''Back.' The command moved the
horse to exert his greatest effort. There
was crunch of splint ring wood and
the wagon rolled back.
Not blow had been struck the
animal. Only kind words had been
spoken, and the horse had done the
TEST.
And when it was all over the man
did not go on unloading the wagon
without further thought of the
great, obe dent animal standing sti !
between the shafts. lie went to him
and took his nose in his Lands and
patted him between the eyes and said:
''Good o't jim, You did do it, didn't
you: knew you wou'd."
And the horse rubbed his nose
against the mans cheek.
1t is pleasant now and then to see
such things.

A man lies fiat on his back, bound so that
he cannot move an inch. He is in dun
geon, at first dark as a well, but in few min
utes light in the ceiling, far up, shows a
mechanical figure Of Time with his scythe
The figure dcscends slowly, the scythe
swings, and the prisoner realizes that unless
some unexpected help should come, ne will
be slowly cut to pieces. What followed is
told by Edgar Allen Poe in the fantastic
story called The Pit and the Pendulum"
The man awaiting the approach of q
dreadful death is a type of a large class of I'M
fortunates who, entangled in the strangling
coils of an octopus, have lost all hope of free
dom. This monster is Morphine. Perhaps
the victim is yet reveling in that glorious
state of exhilaration which follows the first
use of the drug. Ifso, like the man in Poe's
story, he has not noticed the light in the cell
ing and is unaware Of his danger. Maybe
the disease has progressed so far that the
sufferer notices weakness of the hearts &C
ton, that the general health is feeble the
body poorly nourished, the sight double.
This is soon followed by peculiar witch
ing of the muscles, a numbness of the hands
and feet, and the utter collapse Of the
neryous system. The victim now becomes

LEGISLATIVE GOSSIP.
OPPOSED TO MINERAL COUNTY.

OPPOSED TO MINERAL COUNTY.
On last Thursday evening a mass
meeting of the citizens of Red River
was held in that place, to consider the
advisability of the creation of Mineral
county out of certain portions of Colfax.
Mora and Taos counties. The meeting
was properly organized by the election
of Isaac L. Burns as chairman and
James Pagan as secretary. After a
thorough discussion of the subject, a
committee composed OF VIM. Mexican,
G. H. Keen and T. G. Stevens, was APP
pointed to draft resolutions expressing
the opinion of Red River concerning the
proposed new county. and the following
were presented and adopted:
Whereas, The question of the forma-
ton of a new county out of parts of
ColfaX, Mora and Taos counties, New
Mexico, said new county to be known as
Mineral county, is being discussed by
the various communities in said proposed
new county, therefore be it
Resolved, BY the citizens of Red River
in Taos county assembled in a public
meeting called for the purpose of ascer-
tanning the desire of said citizens on said
question, that we are earnestly opposed
to the creation of said mineral county
at the present time, for the following
reasons, to-wit:
First. The total real estate and per-
sonal property within the area Of said
proposed Mineral county, and subject to
taxation, is insufficient to support a coun-
ty organization.
Second. The population in said pro-
posed new county is, at present too
small to justify the promotion of said
county.

BAD Accident at Canoucito.

As Conductor Carlyle, of a north bound
extra Santa Fe freight, was trying to
make a pilot bar coupling at Canoncito
this morning, the brakeman on the box
car approaching the engine by gravity,
hit the engine too hard, and the unfOr-
tunate conductor was thrown down in a
heap. When picked up, he was found
to have both legs crushed, an arm
broken, and was otherwise bruised up.
Carlyle was removed to the Las Vegas
hospital on the first train that anne
along.
