THE PETITION,

The petition follows:
To the Mayor and the Honorable city
City Council of the City of Ell Paso.
Gentlemen
Some time ago we addressed petit
ton to your honorable body, explain
ing that we had brought to your city a
large and thoroughly equipped outfit
for cleaning vaults and cesspools; (which
outfit had cost large sum of money
and we asked permission of your hon.
orable body to be allowed to do this
class of work for such persons as might
be DESTROYS of engaging our services,
Offering to execute bond for the faith
ful performance of such work, and pay
license to the city for the privilege.
! other words, having the outfit, we
..,ked to be allowed as American citi-
zens TO use the same in trying to make
an honest living.
At the time our spetition was pres
euted to your honorable body, Mr.. @.
B. Patterson, acting as attorney for
Mr.. Chairman (the present CITY scaven-
ger) and as recorder for the city of Ell
Pas, stated publicly to your honorable
body 'th at If you granted our request
and we were brought before him that
we would be heavily fined.
It would seem that he proposed to
protect his client regardless of his duty
as city recorder and the wishes of the
council and thereupon your honorable
body declined to grant our request.
We have been left in considerable
doubt as to the extent of the recorders
authority and his influence with the
citv council, and more especially as to
where the duties of Mr.. Patterson, at
tOrney for Mr.. Chairman, and aud where
the duties of Mr.. Patterson city recor-
der commence.
However, we wish to present the
following petition to your honorable
BODY to wit:
If the city will pass an ordinance re
curing all families and places of bust
ness to keep in rear of their premises
two barrels one forsswill and one for
garbage and give us the privilege of
removing it we will enter into q con-
tract with the city for five years and
give bond for the faithful performance
thereon and agree to do all the work
that Is now being done by Mr.. Char
man and for which you are paying him
a salary of sixty dollars per month,
free of charges to the city and in ad
dition to this pay the city a bonus of
forty dollars per month. That is to
say, we will do the work that the city
is now paying sixty dollars per month
city sf yA's f forty dollars ''D addi.ional
per month for the privilege
of doing the same. This will
be saving of $500 per month to the
city, $1,000 per annum and in five
years will amount to $4,000
If the city scavenger's Office is to be
placed on the political pie counter, we
fully realize that we are not in it, but
the object of your honorable body is as
we believe 1t to look after the best
interest of the city and to judicious
ad of it's finances: then
we think our proposition should re-
ceive a careful consideration at your
hands and we most earnestly hope such
consideration will be given it by you.
Very Respt,

WHY ROBIN HAS A RED BREAST

WHY ROBIN HAS A RED BREAST One of Christ's Comforters When Hs
 Hung on the Cross.
 Birds played a part at the cruclfixion, according to legend. After Jesus had been nailed to the cross two birds came and alighted on the extended arms ot the instrument of death. One was a magpie, with a beautiful aigrette on it's head and a long. waving tail. then the handsomest of birds. but the Wickedest. chipping insults at the suffering Jesus The other bird was q modest little bird, with gray plumage, which ai oaehed the cross timidly, uttering cries or grief With it's wings it tried to wipe away the binding sweat aud blood from the face of Jesus, while with It's beak it tried to pluck away one of the thorns which was piercing Jesus fore head. 4 single drop Of blood fell on the breast of the plying little gray bird, and gave the world the robin red breast. And to it Jesus saids Blessed be thou. little bird, which sharest my sorrows. May joy accompany thee eY- eryvhere. Thine eggs shall be as blue as the sky above; thou shalt be the bird of God. bearer of good tidings. As for thee. said he to the masDie, thou shalt be an aeeursed bird Thou shalt lose that brilliant aiggette and the beautiful coIors on which thou pridest myself so highly FanereaI bird, thy message shall be only evil and the rain from heaven shall always fall into thy nest" The peasants Of France, in accordance with this tradi= ton, pierce the heart of a lmagpie with 3 thorn whenever they catch one. h Spain the swallow is considered the good bird and they say that when the Roman soldiers pressed the crown Of thOrns on Jesus brow the swallows came and tried to remove the thorns with their beaks. The Russians say that the swallows took away the nails which the executioners had brought. but the sparrows carried them back again. The Danish say that the moment Of the crHcidxlon the stork, moved with pity, cried "Styrkhain! Styrkhain!" God give him strengthD and since that time the stork has been consider ed sacred. It is also stated that Lon ginus, the Roman soldier who pierced the side of Jesus with the spear, was converted on account of the blood which fell upon him. This was due to the cleansing power of that blood, according to the church, and his eyes were thus opened to the beauty of ho- Gness.- Philadelphia Inquirer.

How dc the ranchmen keep ae count of their stock?9 some one may 8ssz. The easiest thing in the world. a3feoarse all livestock is branded before il is turned loose on the ..auge. Then, of course, the stock snast be watered, and DO rancbman 4v.ll water any kind of stock that aoss nat wear his brand This locks eruel, but it is not. In this manner all stock is forced to go to It's owner s rareh and stay on it's 5wn rarge. Unless this was done hat Of the stock would be lost or stalea. Then as the cattle must saone home for water new calves ire branded and the sick are carroll ed and doctored. In tdis manner every cattIeman can keep his eye on ats own with but little trouble When a cattle buyer comes along, fhe stock is kept in the eorralIs wden tdey come up for water, or are rounded up on the range by cow 5ogs, as the necessity of the ease seq uires.
 Stuce the ranchmen of Arizona and New Mexico do not have to pur- chase thelr pasture lands, they can ratse stock with less expense aud realize 8 greater profit than any Shece else in the country. But eahere is no room for any more cattle sasd fortunate are the stoekmen who got into the country first. It is estimated to reQuite 20 acres of aud for each head of stock to feed 4poa, and the public ranges already have upon them all the livestock ebat eau sustain life. Therefore the -soalg opportunity for a new conner Is &o purchase one of the ranches already established
 Bat if one can live with less labor Ea Arizona than elsewhere, he also spust deny himself the comfol ts aud EuxurIes of tho hard working farm CTS of the thickjy settled States. Like his stock on the parehed pas cures, the average ranchmau in the swo eerrjtories simply exists His diet is confined chiedY to bacon and oeaas. His vegetables come in tin cans shipped from California and are expensive. Household furniture Is a useless luxury; a cot aud a chair or two are all the furniture ueces-
 ary. Sometimes fl there is a woman about the house there may ae q bedstead and a bureau, but. hoth the woman aud furniture are rare. Many of the Americans have tnacrjed Mexican wives, ia which case furniture is entirely unueces. sary. Mexican women do not sit in chairs; they sit India fashion on the aoor or ground The work stock is also poorly provided for Many a

The TransVaal Crisis.

London. Aug. ga parliamentary
paper dealing with the Transvaal crisis
was issued today. 1t details the efforts
of the Boer government during the past
year to have the question of the SOW
ereignty of Great Britain subjected to
arbitration and Great Britain's repeated
refusals to discuss this basic point.
The document adds that Sir Alfred
Milner. governor of Cape Colony and
high commissioner of South Africa,
writing to Mr.. Chamberlain, the secre-
tary of state for the colonies, last June
said:
The way in which the secretary of
state iuggles with the convention of
1854 is rather irritating to a plain
man"
The final dispatch from Chamberlain.
dated July 49, 1899, to Sir Alfred Mil
ner concurs with the latter's view as to
the untenable Transvaal contention,
adding that the British government had
no intention to continue to discuss the
question of sovereignty with the
Transvaal.
