Luna county is likely to lose one of
its newly appointed officers. He is
seriously thinking OF resignlng, When
the time came for the annual assess.
ment, Assessor Pennington went out
to look over the property Of the county.
When he was down at Columbus he
drove up to a ranch and asked the
owner what property he had. The
owner thought there was a chance for
a sale and began Dragging. When
Pennington opened up his bundle OF
assessment blanks the rancher him
self began asking questions. When
he found he had run up against an
assessor he was hot. He told Penning-
ton he had been standing off Grant
county assessors with a gun for years.
He had heard the legislature had cut
Columbus off from Grant county and
and thought be would no longer be
bothered bv assessors. The more he
talked the hotter be got, and, not
having a gun handy, set the dog on
Pennington. The assessor escaped
but the dog got one good mouthful oil

Pennington returned to Deming anC

his appointment. He, himself, was

The magnificent Eagle-Dragon group
which was brought over from the
Paris exhibition by Tiffany & Co., Of
New York, and is now being exhibited
at their establishment, has been pur-
chased by George J. Gould and will be
added to the grand collection of works
of art at his Lakewood, N. J., home
Georgian Court. This is probably one
of the most remarkable examples OF
wrought iron work ever seen in this
country. 1t was ordered by Emperor
William II. to crown the center Of the
Court of Honor of the German section
at the Paris exhibition. 1t represents
a great eagle of heroic size, with out
spread wings, struggling with a gigan
tic dragon, which is held by the eagles
talons. The group symbolizes the con-
test Of liberty and truth with oppres
sion and superstition-the eagle being
the emblem of freedom
The eagle measures twelve feet from
tip to tip of the expanded wings and
six feet six inches from the beak TO the
end of the tail. It's weight is 1920
pounds.
The dragon measures twenty-five
and one half feet in length, though
much folded and coiled and weighs
5000 pounds. The total weight or
both pieces is therefore 10000 pounds.

MARQUIS OF LANSDOWNE.

The Only Man In the British Cabinet
Who Could Speak French.
When the Marquis of Lansdowne was
governor-general of Canada he had to
make speech to the French-Cana-
dams, says NJ. A.. P. With all its 10y.
atty to the English connection, this
little bit of transported France adheres
very rigidly to many things French and
especially to the purity Of the French
tOngue-at least as 1t was spoken In
the eighteenth century. Few viceroys
have ever ventured accordingly te
leave the safe security Of the English
tongue, and it was with some trepida.
ton that the French Canadians heard
that Lord Lansdowne was going to de.
liver speech to them in their owr
language. But he had scarcely uttered
the word ''messieurs" when the whole
ognized at once the accent of the true
French tongue. the accent only posi-.
BILE to man of French blood, and one
who had spoken French as his mother
tongue. 1t is perhaps this accomplish.
ment which had something to do with
Lord LansdOwne's latest appointment
When some one demonstrated with
Lord Salisbury for retaining the tive
offices of prime minister and foreign
secretary, his reply was that he cOuld
not help himself, there was but one
member of his cabinet who could
speak French, and that was Lord
Lansdowne. And now Lord Lansdowns
will receive the foreign ambassador
every Wednesday afternoon and what
ever else may be found fault with, his
French will be faultless. Lord Lans-
downe's mother was a daughter of Gen
Flahalt, one of Bonapartes officers

Horses Hoofs in Carpets

Drivers of horses had considerable
difficulty this morning. owing to the
icy streets, says the Indianapolis News
In one section Of the city. where the
gas is not to be found when wanted
a milkman was driving a team of
horses. They were slipping and slid
ing all over the street. and at last
one of them fell After trying in vain
to get the horse up, he gathered all
the ashes in the neighbOrhOod and
sprinkled them under the horse. This
was successful. But after going about
twenty feet the animal was down
again. Having exhausted all the ashes
in the vicinity, he was in despair. I'M
til at last he hit upon the plan of
putting carpet on their hOofs. This
filled the bill and they went down the
street in safety.

interested in what the future might

story was being enacted before her

Sometimes she suspected that the
passion of devotion must always have
| been more on her side than his His

warmer from the man she was going

Il shall go to India with a much

her life so bright" said Captain Meri-
vale one afternoon. as they were re-
turning from a walk by the sea.
1t is good of you to say that" Jan
eta answered. Il need not assure
you that I'll do everything | can to
make Miss Seymour happy. She's the
kindest friend | ever had. and I'm
glad I've got to know you so well.

Captain Merivale did not answer for
a minute. and Janett- glanced up at
him little uneasily, and saw that
he had turned rather white.
Yes" he said carelessly, we've
been capital friends ever since we met
in that curious way on the railway,
and pulled you through the window. ,"
Janetta felt puzzled and hurt by his
manner. His tone was studiedly in
different, and he referred pointedly to
what had been, rather than to what
might be in the future She thought.

to herself reddening with vexation:
but her resolve was taken at the risk
of vexing Clarice, she would have no
more walks or talks with Captain
Merivale.
She did not make her way as usual
to Clarice's room that afternoon when
she came in from her walk She felt
as in her inward annoyance might find
expression in her face She was con-
siderably surprised as she entered her
bedroom TO hear the quick shutting of

Cleaning and Polishing Brass.

There are many substances and mix
lures used for cleaning and polishing
brass. Oxalic acid is the best, but II
must be Immediately washed off and
the brass dried and rubbed with sweet
oil and some polishing powder, other
wise it will soon tarniSh again. A very
good preparation for polishing is made
of one ounce of oxalic acid, two ounces
rotten stone, an ounce and a half
sweet oil, and turpentine, enough to
make a paste. When used, a little
water is added and the brass is rubbed
vigorously with this. Brass work that
is so dirty by smoke and heat as not
to be cleaned with oxalic acid, should
be thoroughly washed or scrubbed with
soda or potash lye. Then apply a mix
ture of equal parts of nitric acid, sui
phuric acid, and water, with a swab
made by tying a piece of cloth to the
end of stick, rubbing the solution
over the dirty or smoky parts. Leave
the acid on for a minute, then wash
clean and polish. Care must be taken
not to get any Of this acid mixture on
the hands or clothes as it is very cor
rosive.-Montreal Herald and Star.

Janetta laughed merrily. How have
l shown it,"
Twice already. You didn't put on
that new dress last night, you decline
10 call me by my proper name today"
Janetta's colOrs came and went. Did
1t seem horribly ungrateful? / had a
hard struggle with myself before /
knew what to do, and then it seemed
quite clear to me that l must keep my
independence, and wear my own
clothes as long as / can earn money
enough to provide them. You are so
kind and good to me that you ignore
my true position; but I must remem-
Der my own, and respect its conditions.
1t does not seem fitting to take your
gifts sEd call you by your name when

are not on equal terms"
1T seems to be as If we were on

that you had neither father nor mother

Yes. they are both dead" said jan
eta shortly.

money than you, why should you mind

might be started. Janetta noticed that

subjects-either Captain Merivale, or
the likelihood of Clarice's recovery.

"A Famous Old House.

Even the Indian Territory is begin
ming to have its ancient landmarks.
In Fort Gibson stands a house built
in 1888, which is old for that region.
1t was once the home of Bushyhead,
formerly chief of the Cherokee Nation.
The house is now occupied by an In
dian family, distant relatives of the
old chief. 1t was built about the time
the Cherokees were removed to the
Territory and for years it was pointed
out as ''the finest residence On Grand
River" 1t has sheltered some of the
biggest men in the country. Under its
rafters have stopped President Taylor,
James G. Blaine, General Sherman and
scores of other well known white men,
besides many Of the most prominent
Indians in the country. When the gov
eminent first established Fort Gibson
this house was used as officers quar-
tiers. All the big social functions
of the officers society were given in it..
Many women in the exclusive circles
OF Washington society have N their
younger days danced beneath the roof

This is exclusive of the iron base and
rock mound on which it rests. Their
weight is fifteen tons. When mounted
the group is sixteen feet three inches
high.
This was the most important group
in forged iron shown at the Paris ex-
hibition of 1900 or any previous ex-
hibition, and is of great artistic merit
as well as wonderful piece Of me-
chanical technique and ingenuity. In
size it far surpasses any similar work
before executed.
The eagle and dragon are beautiful
ly wrought in artistic detail The
modelling is wonderfully strong, and
each individual feather possesses all
an eagles feather. That painful de-
tail so often present in work Of this
character is pleasingly absent. The
group is happy combination of ideal
ism and realism, none of the strength
of the latter being lost in the blending
with the former.
The Japanese iron eagle at the Co.
lumbar exhibition of 1893 measured
twenty-six inches across the outspread
wings, while the famous iron eagle
in the Science Art department of the
South Kensington museum measured
twenty-eight inches across the wings.

OperdoinG Exposifions.

In view of the various expositions
which have been held since the Chi
cago worlds fair and the projected
plans for still other expositions, there
would seem to be at least some danger
of OVERRIDING the matter. To mention
only the fairs which are to be held in
the near future, Buffalo will open its
Pan-American exposition this spring,
the South Carolina Interstate and
West Indian exposition is scheduled
to open next December and the St.

is to be opened in 1903. The Ohio Cen
