HARDY Ros Es.

You know, when summer days are done
And winter days are nigh,
The garden roses, one by one,
Begin to droop and die,
Yet roses [ have often seen.
The loveIiest of all
That blossom when the winds are keen
And snowy showers fall.
Jack Frost may nip them, but instead
They bright and brighter grow,
And redder bloom and roster red,
For all the storms that blow.
But shut them in a sultry room,
From out the biting gale
Then they will fade and lose their
bloom,
And turn from red to pale.
These bonny roses would you seek
Upon a winters day?
Then look on every healthy cheek
Of little folks at play.

AN INTELLIGENT HORSE.
Knew When His Harness Was on
Wrong.

Several years ago, when residing
in my native town of Scituate, Mass.
our family physician, Dr. Stetson.
told me an interesting story of his
intelligent horse.
A short time before, he was called
at midnight to visit a serious case OF
sickness, and at once took his horse
from the stable, harnessed him in
great haste and proceeded on his
way, but when about a quarter of a
mile from home he reached a hill
ant was just about to begin the
descent when the horse suddenly
stopped and refused to go any
further. The doctor then felt sure
something was wrong and alighted
from the carriage, and carefully feel
ing over the harness, found that in
his hurry and the darkness he had
omitted to buckle one side of the
breeching, which would have let the
carriage on to the horse as soon as
began to descend the hill. He at
once made the necessary fastening,
got into the carriage, and the intelli-
gent horse then started in double
quick for the sick patient.
Was this instinct or reasoning in
telligence?"

Health in the Philippines

Although the Philippines have not
been heretofore regarded as a par.
ticularly healthful place, the ex-
perience of our troops there since
1898 has shown some remarkable
physical results. While local fevers
and intestinal diseases seem to have
been particularly disastrous to men
and women of full habit, and caused
them loss Of flesh and vitality, thin
and anaemic people stationed there
have improved in blood and vitality
and increase. in weight In many
cases the frail and delicate have
become younger in feeling and actual
~ taken on a new lease of life The
climate is also said to be specially
beneficial in cases Of rheumatism.
According to a medical officer, it Is

state sickened and disguised, while
the weak and frail there become
strong and robust.-Washingt Star.

An Editors Advice to Young Writers.

Editors are just as likely to be af~
fected by appearances as other people
are. They try to be impartial. But
they are only human. Strive as you
may to live UP to the conception that
some of you have of them as superior
beings who are above the influences
that sway ordinary mortals, they can
not always avoid being pleasantly inn
pressed by an attractive looking man
uscript. It's literary merit may in re-
atty be no greater than that of the
poorly prepared manuscript lying
alongside of it. But it's more present
able appearance may bring out it's good
qualities so much more effectively as
to make it seem to the editor to be de-
cidedly the better piece of writing,
and thus lead to it's acceptance in
preference to the other.-Franklin B.
Wiley in Ladies Home Journal.

And none other of all the twelve

Can boast such colors as these.

Now hanging with red and yellow
In most gorgeous gowns are seen.
The golden-rod flames by the road

When he slowly sinks from view
And looks over the world of color.
Has caught the, golden hue.

A Plea for Recognition in This Way of

For more than fifty years our gov
eminent has been making postage
stamps The first issue, in 1847, rep
resented but two values, and on each
was printed the likeness of a promi
nent mana policy ever since con-
tinued. Other nations have women's
faces on their stamps. Why not the
United States? Surely we have rep
resentative women enough. There
was Dorothea Dix, for instance, whose
work for the insane marked an era;
Maria Mitchell, whose pure mentality
and magnificent reasoning faculty
made her preeminent; Frances Will
ard, whose reform work claims recog-
milton; not to mention our many
noted literary women. There is also
a dusky face we'll worth considering:
the face of woman who holds a
unique place in our history and who
had much to do in keeping alive that
struggling English colony on the

smelter building. Six hundred and
thirty thousand pounds of machinery,
which includes five concentrators, two
compressors, two water wheels, cleo

paratus, have been received and are
already in the building. The pipe line
extending from the Hondo river are
are about completed and will furnish
the power. All the buildings are wir.
ed for electric lights and wires are be-
ing strung in all the mines and tun-
nels for the same purpose. A tele'

is now in operation. The company
is at present employing slxty-five men
and when everything gets started
more help will be needed. The i'm

Reclaim the Arid Lands.

The Chicago Inter-Ocean is consist
emily and persistently urging the pas
sage of the arid land bill now pending
in the lower house of congress.
In answering the objections urged
by eastern opponents of the measure.
it says:
mot one dollar is asked from the
public treasury for this gigantic and
enormously beneficial work. The bill
creates a trsst fund of the receipts
from sales of public lands in these
states, out of which the secretary or
the interior is authorized to pay for
examinations and surveys. The cost
of any irrigation work is to be as
sessed against the lands benefited. Col,
lections are to be made in ten annual
installments and added TO the fund
Thus the enterprise is made self-sus'
tanning from the start. The geological
survey estimates that ii will ultimately
put money into the national treasury.
Another provision of the bill not gen
orally understood except by those
most directly interested in its passage
is set forth as follows:
Beneficial use is made the measure
and the limit of the right of any buyer
of irrigated lands to water. That is
no owner can claim any more water
than he can use. Water is taken out
of the domain of private ownership. No
one is allowed to buy it merely to sell
again. He can buy it only to use"
In conclusion, the InterOcean says:
Not only will irrigating these arid
lands provide homes for millions. but
it will probably so change the climate
of the arid region as greatly to lessen
the danger of drought in the districts
to the eastward. For these reasons
with amendments on the lines suggest
ed. the bill should be passed. The
whole nation is greatly interested in
the redemption of our arid region, and
congress should no longer delay the
beginning of the work"

BACK FROM TOPEKA.
Agent Roe Helped to Arrange New
Time Gard and Traffic Rates.
BUSINESS INCREASED.

G .orge Roe, the division passenger
and freight agent for the Santa Fe
road, with headquarters at Eel Paso,
came in from Topeka last night, where
he attended meeting of the traffic
managers Of the road, held jointly
with the operating officials, to consid-
er changes in the new time card which
goes into effect ON June / and to also
consider some important changes in
traffic rates.
The traffic officials concluded their
duties, leaving the operating manag-
ers still at work stringing the cards
for the new time card and which will
undoubtedly be placed in the hands
of the printers in few days.
Some changes were agreed upon,
notably the arrival of the mail train
No l from the east at 7:10 p. m, the
passengers eating supper here. The
fast freight train, No. 33, going south
heretofore at 8 a. m, will leave several
hours earflier.
Mr.. Roe says the building Of the
Rock Island into Ell Paso has not de-
creased the freight or passenger re-
ceipts of the Santa Fe but has some
what increased them. He says the
freight business out of Ell Paso for
March increased $4,000, and the pas.
senger receipts for the same month
were increased $2,100.
The gentleman spent few days OF
last week in the Tucumcari and Santa
Rosa districts, and found a dreary
waste of land, with no business that
he could see for the Rock Island OF
any other road.
Mr.. Roe will continue south to E.
Paso tonight.
