Irrigation in the West. !"

This is the caption of communica-
ton from Representative Newlands
which appeared latelyin the New York
Times. 1t is an exhaustive treatise
upon the general subject of irrigation,
it's history, which dates back to the
earliest period of civilization, and
which is practiced to-day in more than
half of the world. Although of course
it was intended more especially for the
information and enlightenment of
eastern readers, ID contains a great
deal of matter which would be inter
esting to people in the arid and semi
arid sections who have made close and
intelligent study of the subject. The
scope which the writer gives to the
subject is broader and more elaborate
than anything of the kind that we have
ever seen in print. in facts, figures and
accompanying comments, and will un-
questionably have favorable effect
upon the irrigation legislation now
pending in Congress.
n referring to the alleged danger of
disastrous competition with the exist
ing farms in the east and west, Mr..
Newlands says in part: 80 has only to
be borne in mind that the entire area
capable of reclamation does not exceed
so, ,000, 900 acres, and that this area will
only equal the area of the two States
of Iowa and illinois. If a nation of
few millions of people did not suffer
from the development of Iowa and
Illinois, how can it be contended for
moment that a country with 80, 0O0,00
of people can suffer from the develop
ment of the arid region@ Reno Jour

injured except by your own acts.
If any man speaks i'll of you, letsyour
life be SO that none will believe him.
Drink no kind ofintoxicating liquors.
Ever live (misfortunes excepted)
within your income.
When you retire to bed, think over
what you have done during the day.

Bob Burdette's Advice.

Remember, my boy, the good things
in this world are the cheapest. Spring
water costs less than corn whiskey; a
box of cigars will buy two or three
Bibles; gallon of old brandy costs
more than barrel of flour; asfnll hand
of poker often costs a man more in
twenty minutes than his church sub
scription amounts to in three years; a
state election costs more than arevival
of religion; you can sleep in church
every Sunday morning for nothing if
you are mean enough to dead beat
your lodging, but nap in Pullman
costs you 81 every time; fifty cents for
the circus and a, penny for the little
ones to put in the missionary box; a
dollar for the theatre and a pair of
trousers frayed at the end, baggy at the
knee and utterly busted at the dome
for the poor; the dancing lady gets
$500 a week and the city missionary
$500 year; the horse race scoops in
$4,000 the first day and the church fair
lasts week, works twenty-five or
thirty of the best women in America
to death and comes out $40 in debt.

GRANT AND OcHiLTREE.
The Grievance the President Had
Against the Colonel.

AAAG 1NACFaACC AMG EEeBk9Gn1 HAD
Against the Colonel.
After the war" said q veteran Of
hceholder. "a warm friendship sprang
up between General Grant and Colonel
Tom Oehiltree. although they had
fought on opposite sides. When Grant
appointed a large number of people
who had been under him to federal
offices, he also appointed Ochiltree.
Tom had been under him in a sense.
Tom was made United States marshal
in Texas.
We'll, you know, in those days Tom
took very deep interest in the ponies
and was sort of patron saint of rae
ing in the new southwest. He was SO
much admired by horsemen generally
that it became quite the thing for own
ers to name their horses after him. At
one time there were not less than a
dozen horses running at various tracks
under the name of Tom Ochiltree
Everything went lovely until Tom
came up to Washington. several months
after assuming his new duties In the
course of his visit he called at the
White House for a conference with
the president. After talking generali-
ties for awhile Tom noticed that the
president seemed to have something on
his mind-didn't appear to be as frank
and cordial as usual. He finally asked
General Grant what the trouble was,
limiting that the chief executive might
not be satisfied with the manner In
which the marshaPs Office was being
conducted.

dent, I don't like the way you've been

Blunders of Painters.

sea, moles the earth and salamander
fire. The chameleon was intended as
the allegorical representative of the
air, but the painter, having no model
Of this animal and knowing nothing
about its shape, contented himself by
introducing a camel. He probably
thought in his ignorance that from a
similarity of sounds they were one and

fessor holding out a crucifix to the re-
pentant thief who was promised a

DRESS PARADE AT A. AND NJ.
A Gorgeous and Inspiring Sight Yesterday At
ternoon on the Campus.

1t was a beautiful sight yesterday
afternoon on the campus of the A. and
NJ College. The cadet battalion, $50
strong. were having dress parade. The
nicely mown sward was fresh and green,
the oaks and naples were crimson and
gold in rich autumn dyes, lovely
fringe of pretty girls encircled the drill
ground like rich embroidery, 300 girls
from St. Marys, from Peace, from the
Raptist University, from Raleigh, the
broad avenue was full of carriages; the
band of "a pieces wheeled around the
building played Dixie" the battalion
followed with the steady tread of veter-
ans: the stars and stripes fluttered in
the breeze Everybody felt happy and
proud of the sight 1t was indeed
glorious day, with perfect air and sun
shine with autumn's sweetest colors, with
natures paintings resplendent every
where, in sky, in autumn leaves, in eye
of maiden and cheek of youth. The
parade comes off every Monday after
noon at o'clock. 1t is getting to be
the great out-of-door's event of the
week in Raleigh 1t is great sight
pOW-Wltn SIN companies duu lWCltlS
four musicians-what will it be with
full regiment of LOCO men and band of
fifty pieces
Another equally fine sight at the col
lege is the morning "guard-mount," at
1880 o'clock. This takes place on the
Athletic Field, just after breakfast and
lust before the college recitations be-
gin. The band is there, the neighbour
hood children are there, the cadets are
there, but the beautiful fringe of pretty
girls is absent. The guard-mount is
new exercise, recently prescribed by the
War Department. Most of the n. and M.
colleges, which only make a pretense of
military drill and discipline are trying
to beg out of it. But our cadets like it.
They shrink no duty, They love to drill,
because it makes men of them, and gives
then the appreciation ana the smiles of
lovely women. 1t makes them strong
and healthy and capable of much hard
work. whether in class room, ca work.
shop. or on football field. 1t makes them
erect. manly. dignified and sef-respect-
ing. There is no finer sight anywhere
than the weekly dress parade of our
A and N. cadets. 1t is equal to West
Point.
