From every part Of the territory come
reports of great activity in agriculture,
in mining matters, In stock raising, in
the sheep industry, in mercantile tusi-
ness, in railroad doings. This Is the
story Of the day under a Republican
administration. Under the last two
Democratic administrations the story
Of the day consisted of bankruptcy re-
ports, stagnation in business, low
prices for live stock and agricultural
products, depressed condition Of min
ing, etc. People and voters may draw
their own conclusions.

It will be observed that the president
who was first in war, first in peace and
first in the hearts of his countrymen is
likewise first in respect to the number
of counties bearing his name. With the
single exception of Arthur, every man
that ever held the presidential Office
has been thus honored. Mr.. Arthur has
several cities or towns named for him,
and the absence of his name from the
list of counties is plainly accidental.
Even Hayes is there.
Now, the desire of the New Mexicans
to compliment President Mckinley and
at the same time add to their local
nomenclature a name that will always
hold a distinguished place in history is
perfectly natural, reasonable and cred
table. So the New Mexico legislature
passed the bill and Governor Miguel
Otero signed it.
But, as New Mexico is a territory, the
congress of the United States has the
power is not often exercised; seldom
even remembered. Under the circum-
stances we must regard as n of the
most extraordinary measures of the
present session the bill introduced in
the senate last Tuesday by the Hon.
James X. Jones of Arkansas, the
ager Of Bryan's last campaign against
Mckinley:
THAT chapter 10 Of the acts of the
legislative assembly of the territory of
New Mexico, entitled IAN act to create
he county of Mckinley and to provide
for the government thereof" approved
by the governor of the said territory on
February 23, 1899, be, and the same is
hereby, disapproved."
Now, why does the great and mag
unanimous Jones object? In his own
state of Arkansas there are not less
than eleven counties named for presi-
dents-most of them Democratic presi-
dents-of the United States; and in the
whole country there are already not
less than five counties named Jones.

They base their hopes upon certain

Hnd-of- Century Epitaph.

Here lies a poor woman who always
was busy.
She lived under pressure that rendered
her dizzy.
She belonged to ten clubs, and read
Browning by sight.
Shone at %luncheons and teas, and
would vote if she might.
She served on a School Board with
courage and zeal.
She golfed and she kodaked, and rode
on a wheel.
She read Toistol and Ibsen, knew
microbes by name.
Approved of Delsarte, and loved to
shoot game.
Her children went in for the top edu-
cation.
Her husband went seward for ner-
vous prostration.
One day on her tablets she found an
hour free.
The shock was so great that she died
instantly.-Pick-Me-Up.

Loud yelled the bullets ping,
Sharp flashed the sabre's sting,
As on the MafekiDg,
Sped We with force meet,
While the brave garrison,
Steady by trench and gun,
Faltered not, no, not one,
Living on horsemeat!
"Oh. when they saw us come,
Drubbed we'll was every drum,
And shrill the hfe's tum-tum
Poured till the ear split!
Grimly the foe retired:
Nathless he frequents fired,
Till beaten, moody, mired.
His van and rear split!
AS pressed the foe more near,
Only with naked spear.
Meier knowing what to fear,
Farley or blench meant;
Forward through shot and shell,
While still the foremost fell,
They with resistless yell,
Stormed the entrenchment!'

Crime AGAINST ENGLISH Literature.

England, which was rejoicing over
the relief of Mafeking, has been plunged
into sorrow and grief. Alfred Austin
has perpetrated a poem in commemora-
ton of the event, of which it is only
to quote n verse of the sew
en- to show that the poet laureate of
the great British empire is a butcher
of English, an ass who parades around
in the trappings of a Tennyson and a
Wordsworth. To be relieved of Austin
would be worth more to the English, as
far as respect in the eyes of other ma
lions is concerned, than a decisive vic
of the verses:

will be constructed along the most

PIay.Time OveraIIs.

AhrpeI . DhLdI.
When boys get old enough to put
on trousers they are given blue over
alls made of denim, which protect the
clothes from wear and tear that is
necessary to children's existence in q
way that is perfectly marvellous. And
lately it has been the fashion for girls
to wear these same overalls. They
look very cunning in them, and are
certainly most comfortable. Mothers
who object to having their little girls
dressed like their brothers have long
aprons, with a string at the top and
bottom. This apron is put on over
the dress, turned up underneath, and
the string is tied round the waist,
making, as it were, a bag. 1t protects
the clothes almost as we'll as the over
alls, but is not quite as good. Bloom
ers of denim or Galatea with blouses
to match are worn by both boys and
girls, but when the girls wear the
blouses, they have them made long
enough to almost cover the bloomers,
and that gives them more feminine
appearance. There are many sensible
mothers who object to dressing boys
and girls alike, for the reason that 1t
makes the girls grow tomboyish.
This is scarcely a sensible reason, and
any such tendency may easily be OBJ
waited by having supply of fancy
frocks for afternoon wear, trimmed
with lace or embroidery, and with
pretty sashes and ribbons.

MAN AND HIS SHIRT WAIST.


Woman is adjudged the slave OF
fashion. Her blind and uureasoning
devotion to This monster has ever been
the theme of denunciatory literary es-
say, from sermon to satire. Man has
also put in his oar and sought to regu-
late her gowns according to his ca
price. She might not wear bloomers
upon her bicycle because men did not
like it. She might not wear her bod
ice loose and comfortable because men
thought they thought slim waist was
prettier than Venus de Medici one.
At the same time man gloried in his
right to dress as he liked, 60 as he
pleased. So it was till the masculine
shirt waist came in as disturbing ele-
ment. Up to that time man fancied
himself a free agent, rejoicing in his
liberty, likewise his superior common
sense. The shirt waist for man is cool
and comfortable. 1t moreover offers
scope for artistic decoration and for
exercise OF individual taste in that
pleasing variety OF color hitherto lack
ing in mans attire. With its advent
man lay awake nights studying the
possibilities of his complexion. Law
ender and pink might indicate to lady
fair that his feelings were beginning
to be warmly interested; blue and
white, on the other hand, would show
him still possessed of cool judgment,
keeping his head ON. He would wear
lavender and rose one day, blue and
white the next-that was it. Gray
with black stripes would mean he was
romantically down in his feelings,
gently sad and despondent. He Or
dered his three dozen shirt waists OF
the tailor and thought no more about
it. Then of q sudden Mrs. Grundy
shattered his beautiful dream. She
swooped upon him with her iron hand.
She was relentless. No man might
appear in dining room, upon veranda
or promenade at any summer resort
without the regulation coat, though
the sun beamed down as though he
thought he was shining upon the
sands under the equator. What is
more, women are at the bottom of this
cruel edict. Men didn't care how an
other man dressed. But women sat
upon his effort to be comfortable and
introduce a rational costume. They
fired the shirt waist man out from the
gates of their approval, and when, in
spite of them, he ventured still to ap.
pear publicly in his cool, fresh upper
garment, they derided him in the
newspapers, said he wanted to appro-
pirate feminine raiment and called
him dear, sweet, ladylike thing.
Woman has at last evened up the
wrongs Of centuries.

PATTI WOULD NOT YIELD.

Got More Money Than the President. but Then
He Couldn't Sing.
Adelina Patti knows her own value
as a public singer, and it is not of rec
ord that she ever failed to exact full
payment according to contract. Some
Chicagoans will recollect the story of
how she waited on the stage OF local
theater one evening, refusing to have
her slippers put on by the maid until
her manager brought her the amount
stipulated for each performance.
This rule OF having her fee before she
sings is one which she will not break
for any one. On one occasion, while
singing in an eastern city, her mana
ger came and protested against the
figure, saying the receipts did not war
rant him in paying it. The little
Italian lady quietly refused to appear
until the amount was turned over.
"But," protested the manager,
"that means a greater annual salary
than is paid to the President of the
United States"
Perhaps it u.s." said Nine. Patti,
but then you can get the President
of the United States to sing for you"
