NEW MEXICO OPINION
The New Mexican Says Mr.. Loving
Is Talking Through His Som


Mr.. Loving, the optimist from Fort
Worth, b as again reached Kansas City
and secured the ears of reporters OF
the city by the Kaw. says the New
Mexican, and tells them that his big
cattle deal has again some chances Of
being completed. When it is finished
his company, he says. will own the ma
jority of the largest ranches in New
Mexico and Texas. The syndicate
would own 100000 cattle, twenty
acres of land for each animal, and
have $50, 200, 600 capital.
Mr.. Loving, however, has come
down from the perch which he occu-
pied few months ago when he said he
had secured abundant capital, aud now
declares that ranchmeD will gladly
take half the price of their ranches and
cattle, in stock in the company, and
the other half of the capital will be
secured, provided times are not too
hard in February.
Certainly the Texas promoter is
talking through his sombrero. Cattle
men were not born yesterday, nor are
they going to give up their property
for stock in q company which would be
managed by eastern men, and in which
the minority stock owner would have
no effective voice. Cattle and ranches
are as good as money these days, and
long ways better than lot of paper
certificates of stock.
New Mexico has no ranches that will
go in on this deal If it ever be COM
pleted. without cash is forthcoming.
And as for the majority of big ranches
in the territory being on the string of
the Fort Worth promoter, il he has
options upon any in this territory,
they are confined to the plsins east of
the Pecos river, and Texas castlemen
control them.
New Mexico cattlemen are enlarging
their operations now, since they have
been able to sell their beef cattle at
good prices, are stocking up for more
breeding of better grade of
and are not hunting any syn
dictate outfit to take their property for
paper that does not bear the signature
of the treasurer of the United States.

A DEAD BURRO

Demise
The Avalanche has announced that q
burro died in that town recently and
the editor of Peoos County Pickings
says:
An actually dead burro is one of the
wonders of the Goth century. A dead
burro, that is, one that is actually
dead and so people can see it is dead, is
wonderful, and will add notoriety to
any town west of the Pecos. A dead
burro is as much of an ignis fatuus as
winged serpent or hydra-headed
monster, and people of this vicinity
would go hundreds of miles to view.a
dead burro.
Burros are as thickin Pecos county as
are the leaves in Valumbrosa, and yet
within the memory of man there has
never been one dead burro seen in
Pecos county. There are burros aud
burros, but no dead burros. Perhaps

THE mineral value Of our western
mountains, says the Des Moines Min
ing News, is just as tangible source
of wealth as are those of the agricul
tural lands of the United States, and
money invested in the one is just as
safe and secure as in the other, but
with this differences: The profits or
income from our mineral resources
through mining are immensely greater
and quicker than are possible to be ex-
pected from agricultural resources
through farming. The business of ex-
tracing the minerals from their ores is
as legitimate as any other occupation

There Is no town Of twelve thOus-

says the Journsl-Democrat. While
we have not many citizens who might
be called rich, we have but very few
who are too poor to provide themselves
with the actual necesssries of life.
And one thing that makes in favor of
the poor in this country is the adobe

IT is stated that there are II, 900, 600
bank depositors in this country. AS

The record, of course, embraces depo-
sitors in national, state and savings

says, would appear to be that wealth
is very generally distributed in the

How Arc Your Eyebrows.

It is popularity believed that If ones
eyebrows meet it indicates deceit.
Charles Kingsley indorses this belief,
but Tennyson has other ideas, and
POLITICALLY speaks Of married broWs F"
In Turkey meeting eyebrows are
greatly admired, and the women use
artificial means to bring the brows to
this condition, and If art cannot in
duce thin eyebrows to grow they make
up by drawing black line with paste.
It would appear that tie Greeks ad-
mired brows which almost met, and
the fashionable inhabitants of Rome
ont only approved Of them, but resort
ed to pigments to make up the lack
which sometimes existed.
Some proverbs state that the per-
son whose eyebrows meet will always
have good luck, while others state ex-
actIy the reverse. The Chinese say
that people whose eyebrows meet can
never hope to attain to the dignity of
a minister of state" and in Greece of
to-day the man whose eyebrows meet
is said to be a vampire, while in Den
mark and Germany it is said he is
werewolf
Sonnets innumerable have been writ
ten on the shape of the eyebrow, the
arched style being preferred and styled
by Herder "the rainbow of peace" be-
cause when Strengthened by a frown
it proclaims storm" The old mas
tiers always painted the arched brow,
and in speaking of his beloved Dante
says, "The eyebrow, polished and
dark. as though the brush had drawn
it." A woman's eyebrows should be
delicately pencilled and dark, though
some prefer contrast between the
eyebrows and the hair.-Exchange
