A Salty Tale.

The old saying that the way to catch
bird is to put salt ON it's tail has been
verified by little Jimmy Below, who
lives in Naudain street. Jimmy was
sent by his grandmother for two bags
of salt for some domestic operation
already in progress. After an hours
absence he returned in high state of
excitement, crying, I've got the birdv'
Sure enough, he had Il sparrow clutch
ed tightly in his fist. But where's
the salt?" asked his grandmother.
"Oh, the saltr' said Jimmy. "Why,
that's around the corner inI she middle
of the street.
Investigation showed that the boy,
returning from his errand, saw some
sparrows on the car track. He opened
one bag and poured out the contents,
which the birds proceeded to investi-
gate. Then he threw the contents of
the other bag on top of the sparrows,
submerging them sufficiently to cap
ture one before it could extrlcate itself
from the avalanche of salt.--Philadel-
phia Record.

TOMORROW THEY COME
And FL paso Will See A Big Game
OF Ball.

Albuquerque will be here tomorrow.
Charley Irwin, who played on the AL
buquerque team for while but who
has been at home for two months, says
that Ell Paso will have to play ball to
win but that be has no doubt whatever
that we will land both games. Charley
IL one of the best third basemen ever
seen in this part of the country and is
q heady and fast player and Albuquer-
que hated to give him up.
Tom Beall will be seen in his regular
position at second and If anyone can
tell of q better man for the place the
management would be very glad to see
him for he would have to be d perfect
ball player to beat Tom at bis work on
few and as q sacrifice hitter is one of
the best on the team. he is one who
plays for the game and not for his own
individual per cent. He goes after
everything thas'comes into his terrific
~ whether he can get it or not. That
is base ball from the word go and is
just what the public wants tosee.
White will likely do the catching
for the home team as Krause cannot be
spared from the infield. Hansen will
play his regular position in center and
with that good right arm will hold
many q runner on bases who might be
tempted to take too big lead for the
next base when a ball is sent to the
outfield (thst is if the Albuquerque
men are able to put the balls out OF the
diamond).

Decision In Homestead Contest.

The register and receiver of the
United States land Office at Santa Fe,
says the Albuquerque Journal Dem
oo, at. received yesterday from the
general land Office q decision in the
contest case of Townsite of Cerrillos
VS.. James M Rogers, affirming the
decision of the local land officials IN
behalf of Ros ere. The latter made q
homestead entry on lands in the
gu burbs of Cerrillos and when it came
to make final proof A L Kendall, clerk
of the Cerrillos board of trustees. filed
his affidavit of protest, claiming that
the land was within the corporate
limits of the town. The land officials
found by the evidence in the case that
the townsite of Cerrillos has failed to
show that it has or ever had any right
under the laws of the United States to
the tract in dispute; that the entry and
proof of Rogers be accepted, that Ger.
ti6cate issue to him and the contest
brought by the town of Cerrillos be dis
missed. The commissioner states that
the Cerrillos tOwnsite is on private
land-the Elkips patented lands-and
that none of public land EN- braced
within the corporate limits has ever
been entered under the townsite laws.

Human Bones Discovered.

A CHASTITY discovery was made last
week in the Black Range country, by
a party of COW boys while rounding up
stock for the N. A. N. outfit. At q poi {
between MONDAY and Gallina creeks,
says an exchange, they came upon the
bleache d bones of q man. surrounded
by his outfit, consisting of his saddle,
pack and gun, all in fairly we'll preserv-
ed condition. There was no trace OF
his horses which had strayed away. A
shoeing outfit ard two or three shoes
gave foundation for the belief that q
very short time prior to his death, b e
may have been engaged in shoeing one
of his animals and it is quite likely he
came to his end by kick or some To-
jury received while SO doing. Evident
ly he was prospector out alone in tn e
mountains. The bones we're given
burial and what effects there were,
saved for the purpose of sscertaining
the identity OF the unknown man, If
such q thing is possible.

PARACHUTE FALL,
Circus Man Says 1t Is Gentle and Not
Extra Hazardous.

EAtIh N8Z&s1uOuSs
Coming down from the clouds in a
parachute is like dream" said a cir
Gus balloon artist. Ever dream OF
falling from a high place? You come
down. alight quietly and awake and
you're not hurt. Well. that's the para
chute drop over again. No. there is no
danger. parachute can be guided
readily on the down trip, but you can't
steer a balloon. To guide a parachute
out of harms way a practiced hand
can tilt it one way or the other, spill
out air and thus work it to where you
want to land. or to avoid water, trees,
chimneys or church spires. Circus
ascensions are generally made in the
evening. When the sun goes down the
wind goes up. The balloon then
shoots into the air and the parachute
drops back on the circus lot or not far
away. balloon is made of four-cent
muslin and weighs about 500 pounds.
A parachute is made of eight-cent
muslin. There is much more danger
in coming down in a balloon. When
IL strikes the earth it's like big ball
and bounds UP again, taking you with
it. Not long ago in McKeesport,
Penn, l came down in balloon be-
cause the parachute would not let go.
l nearly came down in big stack OF
a blast furnace, but the hot air drove
the balloon away. After that | never
intrusted the parachute arrangements
to any one. but attended to it myself.
The rope that secures the parachute is
cut with a knife. The aeronaut drops
fully 100 feet before that parachute be-
gins to fill It must fill, If you're up
high enough. There are several hun
dred parachute men in the business
and the accidents are less In ratio than
railroad casualties. Our business is
new at that. After awhile the ratio
will be less. A man can't shake out a
parachute if it don't open. A man in
the air is simply powerless. Invaria-
bly, the fall is head first. When the
parachute begins to fill the descent is
less rapid. and finally when the para
chute has gradually filled il bulges out
with pop. Then the aeronaut climbs
on to his trapeze and guides the para
chute TO 8 safe landing. In seven
cases out OF ten you can land back on
the lot where you started from. The
first performers must have had nerve

Broken Bric-a-b racs.

Mr.. Major, the famous cement man. OF
New York, explains some very interesting
facts about Majors Cement.
The mult1tudeS who use this standard ar
ticle know that il is many hundred per cent
better than other cements for which similar
know why. The simple reason is that Mr..
Major uses the best material ever discover
ed and other manufacturers do not use
them, because they are too expensive and
do not allow large profits. Mr.. Major tells
Us that one of the elements of his cement
costs 50. IS pound and another costs 81 IS
gallon, WElle large share OF the So-called
cements and liquid glue upon the market
are nothing more than SiXteen-cent glue,
dissolved in water or citric acid, and in some
cases. altered slightly in color and odor by
the addition of cheap and useless materials.
Majors cement retailS at fifteen cents and
twenty-five cents bottle, and when deal
er tries to sell substitute you can depend
upon II that that his only object is to make
large profit.
The profit on Majors cement is as much
as any dealer ought to make on any cement.
that each dealer gets his share of the benc-
ht of Mr.. Majors advertising, which now
amounts to over 5000 month, throughout
the country. Established in 1876.
Insist on having Majors. Don't accept
