REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

From the New York Press
The best friend you think you have in
the world thinks he has a better friend
than you.
You can never find out much about a
man by asking him, or about a woman
by watching her.
The man who calls the woman he is
in love with a flower never caught
her out in the rain with no umbrella
on.
A really good woman is never able to
decide which is the dearer to her-her
husbands love or her own reputation.
Every woman who has been married
over two years goes to her grave with
the belief that her husband has only
been good to lug things around while
she managed.
A beautiful woman never becomes
really celebrated among other women
till she is believed to have broken the
heart Of some plain-looking wife.
Women give love a good reputation
much as they do their servants-be-
cause they are afarid if they don't it
will tell other women their secrets.
Woman is the tool of Satan; man is the
tool of woman
A woman's different ways Of loving are
limited only by her moods; her moods are
limited by nothing
A woman never gains anything with a
man, good or bad, by pretending to be
Wanton when she isn't.
A woman's greatest weakness is that
she thinks she can make man believe
anything when he is only pretending to
believe.

the fact that when woman tells him he

Chicago News: Gen. Otis recently
cabIed that 20 men of the Sixth infan-
try, in hand to-hand encounter with a
multitudinous robber band, slew 200 of
the foe-nearly three per soldier-and
wounded a hundred more, besides tax
ing a prisoner apiece and capturing all
the flags and ammunition. Such deeds
of valOr as these excel anything since
the performance Of the late Leonidas at
Thermopylae, and also cause a strong
belief that Gen. Otis should really have
been one Of the war correspondents in
stead Of acting as a censor over them.

The "Eideriy Gentleman and ths
''Soung Widow With 0ssns" ofs
Matrimonial Advertisement.

DIR. Albert A. Morey and Mrs.
Emma J. Chiids, of Denver, are
both in trouble. The widow
mourns the loss OF several hundred
dollars used in a fruitless effort TO
acquire devoted hubby, and the
elderly gentleman is in Jail charged
with obtaining money under false
pretenses.
DIR. Morey, who introduced him
self as William d. Kirk, answered
the advertisement OF young
widow with means" who wanted
somebody TO marry her The
widow had money and the smooth
doctor concocted a scheme TO re-
lieve her OF a portion of it. He
represented tina, he had $50, 600
worth oi property near La unta,
Colorado, and finally inveigled
s472 in cold cash from the buxom
widow to tide him over for few
days He gave her mortgage on
his La unta property, and that is
all the young widow has to show
for her s472.
The money came so easy that
the doctor called frequently. and
every time he called he wanted
more money. The young widow
became suspicious and communi-
Gated her suspicious TO the chief
OF police. She also made some
investigation on her own hook,
writing letter TO the FIRST National
Bank of this city, making inquiries
as TO the financial standing and
responsibility OF one William ID.
Kirk County Clerk Winchell also
received telegram from Chief of
Police Farley making ths inquiry:
"Do you know William d. Kirk !?
Does he own any land in your
county Is it clear and improved
and near La Junta ?"
Both of these inquiries received
negative reply. Mr.. Kinks name
does not appear upon the assess
ment roll. and he does not own
$3.50, 900 worth of property" nor
even a nickle's worth in Otero
county.
DR.. Morey is married man and
claims he gave the money to his
wife to enable her to visit relatives
in Missouri. He says the officers
have spoiled soft snap. The
money was SO easy and he needed

Spanish onions last Tuesday from

commission firm, and of which the
latter has something to say in his

about the size OF a cantaloupe and
OF very fine appearance. a crate
weighs about S. pounds and sells
for SI,2S in the New York market,
there being duty OF 40 cents on
each crate Mr.. Lyon is making
arrangements TO procure some
genuine seed from Denia, Spain,
to supply the growers of the Ar
kansas Valley who will undertake
its culture. His suggestions OF di-
versihed industries and advice not
to put too much faith in melons
should have the serious consider
alton OF growers of the Arkansas

County treasurer Beerbohm had
issued 9o5 tax receipts up to noon
yesterday, on the first installment
OF taxes for the year 1898, due
March lst This beats all prev
ious records in the history OF the
county, and is no receipts in ex.
cess of the number issued last year,
and nearly double the number is
sued up to the same period IN the
year 1897. The number issued
last year up to the same period was
SIS, and in 1897 only 533. II has
kept the county treasurer jumping
sideways to keep up with the pro-
cession, but he has managed to do
it thus far without c deputy and in
a year with almost double the
amount OF business. His predeces.
sors in Office were allowed dep
uty. The number of tax receipts
issued is also an evidence Of the
fact that the residents of Otero
County are possessed of more sur
plus cash at the present time than
they have been for several years
past. Money appears to be more
plentiful despite the Bryanite the
ories, and we should be devoutly
thankful that it is condition and
not theory that confronts US.
La Junta tribune., 1899-03-04

The stockholders OF the La
Junta Canning and Creamery
Company held conference meet,
ing with the growers at the county
court room Thursday afternoon.
II was a rather prolonged meeting,
the growers not seeming inclined
to accept the proposition made to
them. Last year they received d
IS per ton in cash for their product
on delivery, and insisted on the
same terms this year. The Off
cials OF the cannery, however, Of
fered them the same price per ton,
but insisted that they accept 10
per cent OF the amounts due them
in stock in the corporation. This
was done in, order to interest the
growers in the success of the local
institution, which had particularly
unfortunate season last year. The
proposition was finally accepted,
and the growers will receive 81. SO
in cash and ten per cent in stock.
The Rocky Ford cannery is con
tracing the tomato crop OF next
season at 81 per ton and in Mama
nola they are paying 81. so per ton.
The growers will thus receive a
greater amount in cash per ton,
besides acquiring an interest in the
local concern, than their brethren
in other parts of the county.
La Junta tribune., 1899-03-04

Every one who believes in La
Junta should uphold La Junta by
patronizing home merchants and
home industries. BY so doing
you will help home industries to
grow, build up business at home,
and in the end help yourselves.
The further a dollar goes away
from home the longer it will take
it to come back. In this regard
remember the particular printers
for particular people.
