a poor lad in the United States Navy.
"Slushy, the Roustabout," (by Howard
F. Ames, u. S. NJ got his name from
his unkempt appearance and hang-dog
manner. The author, who is surgeon,
found that the boy was suffering from
disease that rendered him temporarily
unfit for work. He put "Slushy" on the
sick list, cured him land made him his
portege. The story has to do with the
boys really remarkable career; and how,
years later, he called on his benefactor in
frock coat and high hat, the picture OF a
well groomtd man. Every lad with an
ounce of ambition will be interested in
"Slushy," and all the more because his is
the record of real career.

the devices used abroad. He goes
farther and has gathered from many
high sources predictions as to the future
development of fire fighting, involving
such amazing possibilities as the entire
abandonment OF engines, when fire will
be subdued by man sitting at desk

THE NAME new MEXICO.
There Is Evidently Some Sentiment In Favor Of Change
Of Name.

Hillsboro, March 5, 1902.-Editor New
Mexican: have noticed in your paper
several letters from different parts OF
the territory advocating a change OF
name when New Mexico becomes a
state, and I see nothing to indicate any
opposition to such action except your
editorials in which you daily reiterate
that "The people of New Mexico want
no change in name for the new state"
1t appears to me that the people, when
they say anything at all on the subject.
favor a change. In this section wher-
ever I have mentioned the question,
found them either Indifferent or in ia
vor of change of name. Yours truly,
c. c. Miller.
The native citizens Of New Mexico al
most to unit are opposed to a change
of name, but they are not people who
will write to the newspapers in favor
of their standpoint. The older resi-
dents of the territory are also adverse
to a change of name which means SO
much to them, but they evidently re-
gard the movement for change OF
name of too slight Importance to waste
much thought and time upon at pres
ent. The New Mexican has felt the
public pulse and reasserts that the
great majority of the people Of the
territory does not favor change In
