And yondcy she sits in my cane
bottomed chair"
Many a man sits silent and alone in a
home of mourning and conjures up before
his eyes the face and form Of the woman
who was once loving wife and a faithful
belpmste. In thousands of such cases the
wife might still be alive and well and
happy, had the man been 80. only a good
husband, but wise adviser. Women
shrink from the ordeal of consulting a
physician They shudder at the thought
of submitting to the obnoxious examina-
tons insisted upon by most physicians.
In the majority of cases they have none
of this hesitancy about consulting their
husbands. A wise man will understand at
once that troubles of this description will
soon break down awoman's s general health.
He will understand that specialist of emf
nence and world wide reputation should be
frankly consulted at once. DR.. r. V. Pierce,
for thirty years chief consulting physician
to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Insti-
tute, at Buffalo, N. Y, is one of the most
eminent and widely-known specialists in
the world. With the assistance of staff
of able physicians, he has prescribed for
many thousands of ailing women. He has
discovered a wonderful medicine for wo-
men, that may be used in the privacy of
their homes. 1t is known as DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. 1t cures surely,
speedily and permanently, all weakness and
disease of the distinctly feminine organism.
It allays inflammation, heals liberation,
soothes pain, gives rest to the tortured
nerves, and checks debilitating drains.

TERRITORIAL TOPICS.

One hundred and fourteen tickets

S'ockman iubilantly asks: "How's us
Well, we done better than any town in
the Territory. considering the popula-
tioh ofus."
Fay Gillispie of Ration had an excit-
ling experience short time ago. He
was hauling big boiler up Cimarron
canon and when he was fairly on a
bridge the structure gave way and
| dumped wagon and boiler to the bot
tom of the creek lie congratulates
himself that he received no serious in
jury. @ n
!, Springer people must have had big
time at the reunion. The Stockman
says: "Most Springer people that went
to thesreunion are just surviving the
EefTects, of,it. One says he has dried out
another has lost track of the day of the
week, and month of the year,
while one fellow has only slight recol-
lection of being somewhere. The Stock
man comes out on time as usual"
A Santa Fe dispatch of recent date
says Senator M. e. Mcdonald, of Penn
sylvania, and other eastern capitalists,
have made arrangements with DIR. j. j.
Shuler, of Ration, to work the valuable
plumbago deposits at Ration. Mills will
be erected at Raton, and not only the
products of the Ration deposits but also
plumbago from Pueblo and Chicago
will be handled at Ration and from
there distributed to the public at large.
The building activity at Roswell dur
ing the past six months has been nota-
BILE. Residences of the most substan-
tial character have been erected and a
steady stream of new settlers has been
pouring in. In all $l00, 600 has been
spent. in the past six months for new
buildings The new round house and
shops of the Pecos Valley & Northern
cost $4,000. About fifty new buildings
have been erected in the half-year. ~.
AT. Colmor Saturday evening, says the
Springer Stockman, the clouds sent
forth torrent of rain in binding
sheets and the ground resembled one
large lake. The Oeste river was out of
it's banks, and running wild, washing
out some of the pilings and heavy tim
bers on the long railroad bridge there,
delaying east bound passenger trains
eight or nine hours. 1t was a veritable
flood snG the people were very much
alarmed for a time. The good done to
the range is incalculable. The north
line of the storm extended about four
miles south of Springer and the big
lakes along the railroad that have been
dry for four months are now filled to
their capacity.

RoosEyELTs MISTAKE.

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
When Governor ROOSEVELT was ask :
ed what was the correct pronunciation
of his name he replied:
pronounce it as if it were spelt
Ros-Y-vELT, word of three syllables.
Thatis the only way to pronounce it,
That may be the only way the rough
riding colonel of the Rough Riders pro-
nounces his name, but we will venture
to say that it is not the way the ma
jority of his men pronounced it. Most
of those who know him by any other
name than "TEDDY" probably pro-
nounce IT. ROOSEVELT" as if 1t were a
word of two syllables. This, too, is the
general pronunciation of his name out
side of the exclusive sets of New York
and Oyster Bay. There 1t is indis.
criminately pronounced sRoss .EE'
VEI.T,u "RosB-I-vELT,"" ""RUz-Y-FELT. =
"Rus-EE-FELT," ETC., as suits the pecu-
liar lingual facility of the person hay
ing occasion to refer to the colonel OF
the hospital named after his family.
!. The man who thinks there Is only
one way to pronounce his name In this
free republic may be just the man fol-
Guasimas, San Juan and Santiago, bu!
he has only slight appreciation of the
American propensity for pronoancing
names ''any darned way that comes
handy"

MEN WHO RIDE AND sHOO

from the Chicago lnter-0ceani
10 presenting medal from the peo-
pie of New Mexico to the governor OF
New York last Sunday. Judge Springer
said that the people of the Territory
had a kindly feeling toward Colonel
Roosevelt because he knew a good
horse and good gun, and how to use
them. More than that, he knew the
part that good horses and good guns
had played in the winning Of the west.
The people Of the Territory of New
Mexico. who were true to the Union in
1861, and who furnished GO per cent
more than their quota of soldiers In
1898, Judge Springer added, felt that
they were often misunderstood by the
people of the east.
The people of the older states have in
fact failed to understand that. after the
far west was won from savage control
by the courage, fortitude and Dersevtr-
ance of men who could ride and shoot.
any special honor was due TO those who
had redeemed rich domain from saw
age hands. Too often it has been as
sumed that the newer west, which for
so many years was controlled by In
dlaus as hostile TO civilization as are
the rebels in the Philippines, was not
worth the saving. But as matter of
fact, the men who could ride and shoot,
as Judge Springer pointed out, went
forth from the east to open a field, not
of fewer. but of more opportunities.
New Mexico and Arizona came TO us
very much as did the Philippines. 1t
was believed at one time that American
ideas could never prevail in these terri
tories. They had been dominated by
another race. AS far as. they had been
trained in civilization, the training had
not been in sympathy with that of
American civilization. Had the anti
annexationists, or the mere sentiment
talists, had their way, what we now
call the far west. would have remained
essentially Mexican; but, fortunately,
the men Of nerve-the men who could
ride and shoot-entered upon the work
of ,Americanization. The. work was
not done in day or year or decade,
but it was done as any national task
can be done, by courage, common sense
and fearless determInatiOn. .,ss.
