a wonlersul offer to Women.

We have received word OF most remark
able offer which IS 10 Be made 10 women b.
The DeliAeator. Of New York.
Taking the fact that NEXT year begins a
new century. The D,liaeator offers 70 dIstr,.
butte Sl7,50o among 1901 women. The plan
Is 50 cleyerlF arranged that woman living in
a small town or village, has just as good a
chance 10 win one of these 1901 prizes as a
woman living in a city-because the prizes
are given for the number Of subscriptions
secured N town in proportion 10 the popu-
laiion OF iha. town, instead of being given
simply TO these who send tie largest list Of
sa1sc1bers-which. of course, are most easily
obtained in big cities Another clever feature
OF the plan Is, that all the cities and towns of
the United States and Canada have been ar
hinged IN seven classes. The cities OF the
greatest population are grouped in Glass |.
and as these cities are not very many. the
prizes offered are twenty-eight; the high.
est prize being $500, and the lowest S. 90.
The total amount Of prizes given away in this
class "a ; 900. The remaining smaller towns
and villages fall into SIX other classes, and as
the number Of towns in class increases. be-
cause, Of course, there are more small towns
than large eaes, the amount Of prizes given
away TO class increases, 80 that in Class I,
there will be $4,000 distributed among COL
winners.
Furthermore. to everyone who fails TO win
one OF the 1901 prizes there will be paid an
extra commission on subscriptions, provided
they equal one out of every two hundred in
hahtaRts Of the town from which the con-
testant sends them.
THIS IS altoge--a..er very liberal offer, and
one which the famous old Deliaeasor il we'll
able 70 make good From our point of view,
we do not see why such an offer needs TO be
made by the Publishers of The Delineator, for
we believe it already has nearly half million
subscribers It's strong hold upon the affec
tons Of American women has come IN the
past generation, from its practical advice
about dress details and home matters

THE LEASE LAW
Opinion of Sol Luna, the Well Known
Sheep Man. On the Proposed

Sol. Luna, she veteran sheep man OF
New Mexico, who spent several days
IN FL Paso last week, returned to his
home at Las Luras Saturday night.
Mr.. Luna was with the New Mexico
delegation at the live stock convention
at FIT. Worth in January and when a
HERALD reporter asked him what he
thought OF the proposed lease law the
cattle men were preparing for the con
sideration of congress, be brsced him
self in an easy position and began at
once to tell the sheep mems side OF the
much discussed question.
''In New Mexico" said Mr.. Luna,
'tall the sheep men and great
majority of the cattle men bitterly OPP
pose the scheme. 1t is reported that
the FIT. Worth convention favored the
law, but that is great mistake. On
the fret day the question wac broug q G
up it was defeated by a handsome
majority, but in the hotel corridors
that night, when the wire pullers got
to work, things took q different turn
and the Texas delegation, who should
have had no voice in the matter, as
Texas has no government lands, we're
won over to the lease faction, and
when the vote was taken next morning
the thing went against US. In my
opinion, the committee appointed to
