There is a strong movement on foot

Y, uld live under the ban Of immoral

Senator Martin. who spoke in favor
Of he defeat of the bill, cited the
true state of affairs. He stated that
the law had better moral effect than
any prohibitory measure that could
be introduced. Further. that the law
rs It stands has saved the different
counties considerable money. as it has
ke,s petty fights off the boards and
thus kept the offenders out Of the JUS

l. is only occasionally that law Of
this nature is allowed to stand. but
the TACT that three legislatures have
approved it should stomp it as about
the best measure regulating 6stic

In nearly every State in the Union
laws are passed prohibiting these en-

every instance. The Nevada law has

EXPENSIVE SHOOTING.

AS to the sums spent on shooting in
Scotland so large is the total that it is
a difficult matter to arriven even at
an approximate estimate. In Pert
shire alone, there are 465 shootings. of
W about four-fifths are left to ten
ants, and bring in about G15O,0Oc a
year. or an average of G4OO a year.
which seems about a fair estimate il
it be borne in mind that this is an ex-
pensive county, and that so of it's best
shootings fetch G 35. 900 or an average
of f70O year. In the whole of Scot
land there are about 1000 shootings,
and as each of them must employ one
keeper and one gillie during the shoot
ing season, some estimate may be
formed of the money expended in wa
Ses and the number of people en-
ployed.
In the deer forests and on the larger
shOotings there will often be from four
to six men permanently engaged and
from six to eight others working for
the shooting season only. In a we'll
known forest where once spent many
pleasant days there were three fOres-
tiers, three gillies and three ponymen

There is one particular in which ev-
en- Albuquerque surpasses Ell Paso, and
that is in her cement sidewalks in the
business section of the town. The Wis
itor is at once impressed with the city
like appearance of the main streets. due
mostly to the sidewalks. which, being
kept free from signs and Instructions.
and looking reasonably clean because
it is their nature to, make the streets
appear wider and more open. Ell Paso
could not make a better investment
than to build good sidewalks all
through the central portion of the
city. If the property holders will not
do it. the city ought at least replace
the broken board walks everywhere
with the rolled and graded natural ce-
ment walks like those in the plaza.
They make hard, dry. and slightly
walks, and cost little.

THE ARTISTS MODEL.

Some models command better prices
than others. for their work. being
more valuable for beauty of face. or
form. or possessing, perhaps, some I'M
usual coloring.
The best models can earn about SIS
a week If they are fortunate enough to
have engagements each day. A frac-
ton of day is generally paid for at
the rate of so cents an hour. or 81 for
a morning or afternoon; but this is
not limit, as some artists will pay 81
an hour or SIS day for the exceptional
model
The demand for artistic photography
has opened a new field for the perfect
model and now many hours each week
are filled in with short poses in the
best Photographic studios. This class
of work is paid for at a higher rate. as
the artist-photographer can generally
accomplish many good results in a
short time.
Photography plays an important part
in handsome advertising illustrations
at the present time, and pretty child
rem and young ladies are always in de-
mand for this work
Our best artists are very particular
as to the class of models who are adj
mitted to their studios. and a new
worker in the field will find a salts
factory introduction quite as valuable
as a recommendation in other lines
of work. Many young women of the
better class, who are not compelled to
work for a living. but who find posing
remunerative pastime, are in the
field as amateur models; they are quite
desirable, as the qualities of their
makeup are such that expression. feel
ing and coloring, are better than in the
model who is employed every day and
often at night. The consequence of
too close confinement is monotony in
action and loss of rich coloring, both
of which are essential features in a
model.-Truth.

HOUSE PLANTS IN WINTER.

Go over your plants carefully and
remove every fading leaf before they
are taken into the house. See that the
pots are clean. If some of the old soil
is to be removed and fresh soil sub
stituted, see that this is done now. The
chances are that If any of your plants
are carried in doors before necessary
attentions of this kind are given, they
will go without them. One is likely
to neglect work of this sort if it is not
done at the proper time. Therefore,
make it point to do all that seems
to need doing, and do it well. If one
would succeed with plants he must
make up his mind to do no slipshod
work among them. They resent it.
At this season l should also provide
some potting soil for winter use. One
often finds that several plants require
a shift to larger pots in the early days
of spring. If soil is at hand they gen.
orally receive the attention called for.
but if none has been provided they
have to be let alone, and in the ma
jority of cases they are greatly injured
by failing to receive the treatment due
them. 1t is while a plant is making
active growth that reporting is neces-
sary. and if it cannot be given the plant
is obliged to complete that growth
without sufficient nutriment, ard a
weak development is the result. Re
potting after thar growth is made is
like giving food after one ceases to be
hungry. 1t does no good and often
does positive harm. If you have pot
ting soil at hand at all times, the work
of shifting a plant is easily and quick
Iy done.-Eben E. Rexford, in Harper's
Bazaar.

RELIGIOUS PHASES OF
; THE STRENUOUS LIFE.

One OFTEN hearS IL SAID tnat tnf
churches do not seem to have the hole
on the people in the west that they
used to have in the east, and have still
in some sections of the east. The fact
will not be disputed. The reason is
interesting. 1t lies in the changed
character of life during the last two
or three decades, especially in the
west, and in the consequent changed
manner of thinking among the mass
of the people.
Roosevelt has introduced and made
popular the term, the strenuous life.
Nothing so well describes the life of
the Great West of today. Kipling has
put the spirit of the West and of Roos-
eveIt's Strenuous Life into imperish-
able poetry-poetry that occasionally
approaches the sublimity of the books
of the prophets, it is SO simple, so true,
and so human.
The men of the great, bustling, rush
ing. mighty, throbbing West have all
the troubles and worries and things
to-be-done-at-onceth that they can attend
to; it is about all one man can do, to
do his duty in the present world, even
his duty as he sees it, without bother
ing about what may or may not come

former can do is gradually to raise the

feet of this life we lead out here in the
open spaces of the world, away from
the contracting influences of great
cities. established prejudices and class
distinctions. is to make men realize
their responsibility in this world to
degree they never knew before. Their
interest in the world to come is al
of the brain. and becomes a matter not
brought forth for common discussion
or frequent thought. The toughest
cowboy or scout or prospector, if you
push him, will generally acknowledge
the existence of a God and the proba-
bility of a future life: but what is up
permost in his mind is the necessity of
protecting his own life and that OF his
partner. and doing his duty by those
to whom he is bound. If the churches
do not exercise a vital influence over
the minds and hearts and lives of men,
it is because the preachers confine their
sermons to discussion of doctrinal sub
jects and avoid the vital facts of this
strenuous life of the Great West.
Kipling has we'll indicated the re-
ligious tendency of the modern pioneer
we of the West are all pioneers-in
his splendid poem, The Song of the
English. 1t is the soul of the dead pio-
neer that speaks. Who, that knows the
strong hearted, the child hearted. men
the scouts and sappers
and miners of civilization, can fail to
recognize in this splendid poem the
of the spirit of the pio-
neer?
We were dreamers, dreaming greatly,
in the man stified town;
We yearned beyond the sky line where
the strange roads go down.
Came the whisper, came the vision,
came the power with the need,
Till the soul that is not mans soul was
lent us to lead.
AS the deer breaks-as the steer breaks
from the herd where they Craze.
In the faith of little children we went
on our ways.
Then the wood failed-then the food
failed-then the last water dried
In the faith of little children we lay
down and died.
On the sand drift-on the veldt side
in the fern scrub we lay,
That our sons might follow after by
the bones on the way.
Follow after-follow after! We have
watered the root.
And the bud has come to blossom that
ripens for fruit:
Follow after-we are waiting by the
trails that we lost
For the sound of many footsteps. for
the tread of a host.
Follow after-follow after-for the
harvest is sown:
By the bones ABOUT the wayside we
shall come to your own.
