Moor Cloth IL a Novelty.
Most nattering is the task of contemplat-

our winter wardrobes. First and foremost,

goods that for durability deserve every
woman's first consideration. They are
beautiful, too, in warm tones Of prune and

Already we know what to expect when
the fur shops begin their vigorous autumn
trade. This is to a season notable for a
paucity in novelties. There are no new
skins on the market; that Is to say, none
that we have not worn before, and are not
capable of recommending or condemning.
The forms Of the warm garments show
also no decidedly new designs. Fewer
capes will appear and greater number of
fancy collars and stoles than were seen and
used even last winter. The coat is abso-
lutely unrivaled in its popularity and justly

IKE'S CHRISTMAS
A Messenger Boy Of FL paso Sets
the pace For a Ddy.


Night Manager Avery, Of the Postal
Telegraph company, tells the follow
Jog story in the Telegraph Age:
Little Ike Levy, one of the Postal
messengers at FL Paso, Texas, has his
own ideas OF good time and how
Christmas should be celebrated.
When the question arose as TO what
boys should have holiday on Christ
mas, Ike announced that he didn't care
for holidays and much preferred to
work. This was as satisfactory as 1t
was inexpllcable to the other bOys. but
Ike's foresight became apparent later
on.
All Christmas morning Ike worked
with unwonted energy, his eyes grow
ing brighter with every run. AT noon
be triumphantly announced that his
emoluments in the shape of cash gifts
from patrons amounted to 1886. 65. Tossing
the odd change into the street for the
Mexican boys to scramble for, Ike pro-
ceeded to celebrate Christmas as befit-
ted one of his standing in the financial
world.
His bike, with the puncture proof
tires, once his Joy and pride, now be-
came an object Of loathing. Not for
him the irksom5 toll of delivering
kilograms on such q crude appliance.
Physical exertion was incompatible
with the proper flow of pleasurable
thought, so Ike went to the nearest
livery stable and hired the handsome
est rig in the place-a big shiny black
horse and brand new buggy with red
wheels and rubber tires. Then for the
first time Ike tasted the sweet OF
luxury and the high life that he felt
instinctivery that nature intended he
should adorp.
-'Delivering kilograms" said Ike,
sis not q mental occupation, provided
you have the proper facilities" and SO
for FIVE hours Postal kilograms were
delivered and candy was distribute to
the benefciaries of Ike's bounty in
style hitherto unapproached even In
the psmpered east.
But the final spects cular triumph Ike
reserved for the evening. AS the mes
ssges came in for guests at the hotels
and others who lived near the Office
Ike frowned disappointedly, but when
about 9 O'Clock there came one for the
Hotel Dieu, his face expanded, and
plsinly showed that that sbomination
of messeug gers, the Stanton street hill,
had no terrors for him. He left on
foot.
Fifteen minutes later a land au dashed
up to the Postal office. The driver
leapeG from his seat and ceremonious-
" opened the door. Night Manager
Avery saw visions of a disting uished
foreigner with pocketful of cable
grams, when, to his horror and amaze
ment, there stepped from the carriage,
calm and digniied, no other than Ike.
who's your friend that's been Civ
ing you a ride?" asked Avery, as Ike
came in, looking as unconscious as
possible.
''Give nothin'." answered Ike, scorn-
fully, Il hire my hacks. The only
thing I'm sore about is that thev don't
have no automobiles in this jaybfrd
town.

THEY OBJECT.
Residents At Old Fort Bliss Do Not
Want the County Hospital.

A memorial to congress is being
prepared and signed extensively by
residents at Old Fort Bliss objecting
to the passage of the bill introduced
by Representative Stephens to trans
fer the remainder of the government
property there TO the county for use as
county hospital and poor
farm.
The petitioners say that as they
have purchased the property from the
government as homes il would be an
act of bad faith on the part of congress
to allow hospital to be located there
as it must inevitably result in the
ruin of their property for residence
purposes. This, they say would be es-
pecially true in the event of patients
suffering from smallpox or other con-
tagious diseases being placed there as
it was attempted to do once be-
fore.
They also point out the fact that the
location of the place in the corporate
limits of the city and on the main road
to the smelter would cause great
danger to health, in such an event.
Moreover, they say, there is no need
for another poor farm as the county
already has one near Socorro.
The petition is also being extensive
~ signed by the smelter people.
