SAN JUAN'S DAY
It Was Celebrated Yesterday Accord
 ing to Ancient Custom.

Sam x. Seip came back from San Juan's day yesterday covered with blood, dust and general understanding of how it was done. As announced in yesterdays paper, San Juan'1 day hap pened across the river in the Mexican settlement, where four or five hundred natives of the south had gathered for q general celebration.
 The programme began with dancing. The dancing took place out doors. for there was no house in the country large enough to accommodate the multitude A large area had been leveled off and sprinkled down and the sprinkling was repeated frequently to avoid the raising of q dust The sprinkling was mag niiicent success and before night the dancers had to wear rubbers to keep from hiring down. or stop every few minutes to scrape off the mud.
 But the real thing that marks a San Juan celebration is the chicken pulling lt has been frequently described. but for the benefit of those to whom tho custom may be new 1t may be said that it consists of burying a rooster or number of them in the dirt with only 'H' htab SNiChlnB out. lnen the brave bronco riders charge by and reach for the rooster's head as the American cow boys pick handkerchiefs from the ground. The one who succeeds, in pull ing the chicken is then privileged to attack the worst enemy he has in the crowd and beat him over the head with It till either the enemy or the rooster gives out.
 At yesterdays show the chicken planter was an inexperienced man and did not bury the fowl deep enough. Whep the hOrsemen rushed by he jump ed out. This was repeated a time or two and then the bird was buried deep CT and water poured around to hold nm down. This tirne he ducked his head in the mud ard again escaped. The next scheme was to bury him head down, with his feet sticking out, and even then the rooster managed to crawl out before the horsemen could catch him. But finally he was tired out and a gallant youth managed to get hold of one foot and drag him out Then the run began. Every lad in the bunch imagined he was the deadly enemy of the man with the chicken and began a campaign of defenae But the chicken butler singled out the man he wanted and made for him. It was not MT. sep, but the latter had hard work to Keep away from the victim who was pretty well hammered up and covered 1

Jones: Hey, Jimmie, what are eggs worth today?
 Smart Clerk; Eggs are eggs today, Mir. Jones.
 Jones; Is that so? We'll, I'm darn glad of it; those you soil me yester- day were all chickens.
 On July 1st we will adopt a new scheme in the egg line. We have made arrangements with one of the most prominent egg producers to furnish us eggs gathered four and five times daily. Each egg will be stamped with the date it was laid, and brought to us every day. We will test this egg with our electric tester and then keep 1t on ice until sold We will not attempt to sell this brand as cheap as we sell our com mon eggs. as they will cost great deal more. and We expect to get more for them. but in the long run they will be as cheap as any. So don't forget to buy the diamond-m brand of eggs.
