Man n Puzzle.


Pascal affirmed that "man is miserable
because he is, and great because he knows
it," An inspired writer of old, awakened
by the great problems of existence and
conscious of the majesty of God, voiced
the universal feeling of thoughtful souls
when he exclaimed: "What is man that
Thou art mindful of him" Evidently
man 10 a problem TO himself, a mysterious
union of forces of which he is more or less
conscious, but which he is unable adequate.
ly to measure. The great apostle, under
the stress OF contending desires, asserted
that when he would do good evil was
present with him, so that what he wished,
that he did not do
There is no man who seeks to be and to
do that which he assents to as right, but
finds within him strange paradoxes. What
these forces are that make for better or
for worse, he may be unable to analyze
or understand, except as God has revealed
to him, that his life is under and may be
controlled, either fully or in part, by spir.
itual forces; on the one side, the spirit of
good, IN the other the spirit of evil. The
experiences of life sufficiently teach us the
fact that with good intent we have often
missed the mark, and at times even gone
contrary to our better judgment. From
these experiences we certainly shall not
confuse ourselves with any idea that some
external force is wholly responsible for our
conduct, for we know too well that our
own powers have been in alliance with that
which was not ourselves, and we, strange
as it may seem, have done that which we
had not intended and for which we are,
nevertheless, alone responsible.
This strange fact we discover not only
with reference to our conduct, but also
with. reference to our thinking. Thus it
has happened with some men that their
thinking is Of a much higher order than
their living, while with other men their
conduct in acts of charity, kindness, sym.
pathy and fraternal helpfulness stand be-
yond criticism, while their theological
thought is hagrantly heterodox. OF this
class may be named some of the prominent
religious writers of our time-men who
boldly assail the faith of the fathers and
seemingly undermine the foundations of
the Christian belief, but who yet are, ap.
parently, men of sweet and lovable spirit,
and whose daily conduct in life among
their fellows is above reproach. In them
is an obvious contradiction of the accepted
truth that, ''as he thinketh in his heart SO
he is" Let us not forget, however, that a
distinction must be made between heart
thought and brain thought. One is that
which carries the whole man with it, the
other that which gives assent but not COM
mend. While we recognize in ourselves
this strange union, even at time antagon-
ism OF forces, we ought to be better pre-.
pared, under the assurances of divine as
sistance, to keep our own thinking and
living up TO the standard which has been
set for us in the example OF the perfect
man Christ Jesus.--Chicago Standard.

She Took Her Papa Home.

The following story of pathetic inci~
dent which occurred in Atlanta, Ga.- ~
told by the Southern Star, a prombstton
pape- of that city. 1t is not an unususi
incident at all, its counterpart has been
witnessed in every large. city where the
open saloon tempts weak men TO their
ruin:
II was o'clock at night, bitterly cold.
and the winds wlistled around the police
barracks in Atlanta. Hardly person was
on the street, it was so bleak and cold.
The officers at the barracks had gath
cred around the warm heater telling their
experiences in the past when little, gen
tie rap was heard on the door.
Come in" cried the call officer.
There was silence for a moment and the
rap was repeated again.
"For goodness sake tell whoever it is tn
come in out of the cold" called the station
sergeant.
Then an effort was made to open the
door, but il failed, and then for the third
time the tap on the door was repeated
and the call man jumped up and opened
the door.
Out in the cold. on the stone steps stood
a tiny little girl. She was thinly clad, al
though it was freezing outside. Her thin
brown hair clung in damp shreds about
her pale forehead.
"Come in, little girl, and get warm" ex-
claimed the officer.
The child shuddered either from fright
or cold and slowly walked into the Office
"What do you want?" asked the aston
ished sergeant.
'1s-is-papa here?" said the child, her
eyes filling with tears.
your papa" said the sergeant, "who
is your papa, and why do you think he Ia
in such place as this!
Brushing away the tears the child re-
piled in a trembling voice: Mamma said
tonight that papa was sick and the police
had him. So i came here TO find him. IL
he here?
The little one then gave the name of
her father, and the sergeant found that
he was docketed as being drunk. He
called the turnkey and asked him to see IL
the man had sobered up.
The turnkey reported that the man was
sober enough to go home.
Then let him out" said the kind-heart-
ed officer, 'and give him a copy Of the
charges. It's not business, but the little
girl shall have her papa"
The man came out haggard and weak
| from the effects of his spree. The child
! ran with a glad cry into his arms and
kisse1 him again and again.
Mamma told me you were sick" she
said, "and | have come to take you home"
The man made no reply. His hands
! trembled as he tried to smooth back his
brown hair. In silence he passed from the
barracks with his trusting, loving little
girl.
'If that man doesn't reform and let thia
be his last drunk" remarked the station
sergeant, che is made of stone"
This is. only one Of thousands OF sad
cases that are chronicled by our daily
press each year. We think that voters
have hearts of stone when they allow such
things to exist. Let us as loyal Christian
citizens awake and say by our ballots that
the saloons will go from Atlanta, the State
of Georgia and the nation and then there
will be no more debauchery crime or mis-
cry caused by the hellish traffic which
should Be forever outlawed, and which
is every year running hundreds of thou
drunkards graves.

Clears His Record.

1t is quite evident, from the sub
joined dispatch sent out from Santa
Fe to the Denver Republican, that the
recent declaration made by Senator
Turner as to the condition of Indian
schools, was a hit at the capital city
school. However. Superintendent Gran
dail clears his record as follows:
In answer to charges that United
States Indian schools show large NOR
tally and are hotbeds of immortality,
superintendent G. J. Crandall of the
United States Indian school at Santa
Fe, made public statistics to disprove
the above assertion made in congress.
as far as the Santa Fe school is con-
cerned. with its $50 pupils.
During the eleven years of it's ex-
istence only seventeen deaths have oc-
CURED at the institution. Two of these
were accidental. Pupils who died
ranged in age from 6 to 20 years. and
the causes of death are ascribed to tu-
berculosis 3, measles 8, pneumonia 5,
heart failure l. malarial fever !, con-
vulsions 1, unknown /.
In the last five years there has not
been a single case of immortality
brought to the notice of the authori-
ties, although sexes mingle in the
school, and not a single investigation
has been demanded upon the suspicion
of immortality. The death rate Is much
higher in the reservation schools and
the morality is of lower standard on
the reservations.
The Indian appropriation bill this
year carries $50, 100 for maintenance
of the Santa Fe school, s1,700 for the
superintendent salary. $1,000 for
water supply and $4,000 for general i'm.

With the energy characteristic of the

No mercenary spirit prompts the

have to take upon themselves a vast
amount of disagreeable work to carry
it through. The only benefit the lodge
will derive will be to have a lodge

opera house and with commendable
public spirit the Elks have undertaken
to help provide it. The plan will be

HE ESCAPED DEATH.
Seymour Ball Tells How Close He
Came to Meeting St. Peter.
HE HAD A DREAM,

Seymour Ball, the He'll canon miner,

friends what close call he had from
death.

said Ball, ''as | ascended to the sur
face, | could feel myself being raised
up by some supernatural power and
out of dangers pathway. AS soon as
reached the surface tremendous ex-
plosion occurred, and huge pieces of
thoroughly mineralized rock flew all
around me and Foreman Bonsall Since
that accident, | have grown supersti-
tious, believing in goblins, spirits and
dreams. The day before the explosion,
which came very near sending me into
eternity, Commodore Kent, the owner
of the mine, visited the canon with his
wife. After securing some pointers
from Foreman Bonsall regarding the
ore rock which we had encountered,
told the commodore some facts about
a dream | had the night before which
were to the effect that premature ex-
plosion of giant powder would occur in
the mine and that | would be a man.

Tut, tut" said the commodore,
surely in your experience as a miner
and at this late day in your life, you
are not growing superstitious and a
believer in horrid dreams?"

skepticals, answered /, but really

mature explosion. with me as victim
with broken limbs and body otherwise
mangled, disturbs my equilibrium and

The commodore" continued Mr..
Ball. returned to the city. and the
next day part of my dream was real
iZed. The holes had been drilled, the
giant powder inserted and the fuse
touched. | saw at an instant that
death lurked within few feet, and the
only thing that prevented a full verifi-
cation of the dream was some super
natural influence that carried me hur-
riedly out of the mine and from dan
ger. | will never forget that dream
and how closely | escaped death in a
most tragic manner"
Mr.. Ball is taking a few days lay-off
and while in the city will enjoy life
and the sights through the most inter-
esting slot machines.

PRINCE RETALIATES.
He Answers an Editorial Recently
Published in the Citizen.
coRREcTs CERTAIN STATEMENTS

To the Eoltors of The Citizen.
Santa Fe, Feb. 20.-Your editorial of
yesterday, which l have just read, con-
tains so many misstatements of fact
that, especially as they concern Mrs.
Prince more than myself, | feel con-
strained to ask space for reply.
have no fault to find with any criti-
cism, however iii-founded; that is the
prerogative of the press. But | am
sure you do not mean to misrepresent
facts and will gladly have them cor
rected.
From your article it would appear
that both Mrs. Prince and myself went
east relative to the post and received
some remuneration for that. This is
incorrect. Mrs. Prince was east, visit
ing friends, before the army post mat
ter came up. and remained some time,
visiting in New York, Newark, Wash
ington, Detroit. Chicago and other
points, of course without remunera-
ton, and without any connection with
the army post matter except to speak
a good word for New Mexico localities.
when occasion offered.
| was sent to Washington to repre-
sent Santa Fe, by a citizens commit
tee, which paid my expenses while
was thSdStu III lHtll DuSlHtSS, anu
which after my return unanimously
passed resolutions of satisfaction and
thanks for the work done. The only
criticism of that work that have seen
was from Albuquerque, where some
misconstrued my zeal for the town
was sent to represent into opposition
to the sister town which ultimately
gained the prize.
AS to the governorship, anyone with
the least knowledge of the facts, knew
that | declined from the beginning to
be a candidate for that or any other
territorial position. | had already held
it's highest Offices, and desired nothing
for myself. The only time that called
on the president, which was at his ex-
press invitation, | stated this perfectly
distinctly. " nile | was opposed to the
re-appointment of Governor Otero. for
many reasons which | need not enum-
crate. | suggested at various times last
year at least six excellent gentlemen,
who, l believed, would make good and
law-abiding executives, two of whom
were from Albuquerque.
The statement that Senator Morgan
is a relative is an entire mistake
though any one might be proud of the
connection.
The intense political activity you
speak of, can be judged by the fact
that while | am personally acquainted
with over thirty senators, and some
are old friends of thirty years stand
ing, yet while in Washington | called
on only three. in each case with a
party of friends. When | had done
what | could as TO the post and some
Smithsonian matters, | went TO attend
to business in New York, and from
there was in Santa Fe before New
Years. The statements relative to
Mrs. Prince are entirely incorrect.
/ greatly regret the mixing up of
eXtraneous matters with the clean-cut
issue presented to the Agricultural col
lege case, which is simply whether our
high educational institutions shall be
made foot balls of personal politics.

DURANGO AND CLIFTON.
Light Grade for the Entire Proposed
New Railroad,

A Clifton dispatch says that the pre-
liminary survey for the Durango and
Clifton railroad has been a surprise to
everybody. 1t is shown that the grade
for over 400 miles will not exceed 1
per cent. at any point, and there is
only twelve miles of 2 per cent. grade.
Captain Mcconnell is now in New
York arranging to finance the road,
and it is reported that he has practic-

HELD UP AND ROBBED.
A Foreigner Applied the Flask and
Then Robbed His Victim.
SENT TO COUNTY JAIL.

The preliminary of an unusual case
was heard in Judge Crawford's court
this morning, in which the defendant
was bound over to the grand jury, un-
der $3.50 bond, on the charge of high
way robbery.
Yesterday afternoon about o'clock,
Addison Brosius, who until last week
was an employe at the Matthews
dairy, went over to Old Albuquerque
for a good time. At saloon over
there he made the acquaintance of M.
j. Sookeyjo and Thomas Mores, two
young men who are quite popular in
the tenderloin district.
A few drinks were taken In each OF
the many old town resorts. and all
were feeling pretty gay. About 3
o'clock last night Brosius got on a car
and came to new town. Sookeyjo and
Mores followed. Brosius left the car
at Third street and with Sookeyjo
went down toward Trimble's red barn.
In front of the barn they were joined
by Mores. 1t is claimed by the defend
ant that Brosius tripped and fell on
wagon tongue here, but James War
ren, an employe at the barn, says that
Brosius did not fall there.
Warren, who is the leading witness
in the case, gives very vivid descrip-
tion of what he saw of the affair. He
says the men were quarreling and
that he saw what looked to be clear
case of hold-up. At the corner OF Third
street and Copper avenue Mr.. Warren
saw Sookeyjo give Brosius drink
from a flask and then throw the flask
away. He then proceeded to go
through the victims clothes. He then
left the drunken man and crossed the
street. In a few minutes Brosius, with
out an effort to eaten himself, fell for
ward on his face.
Mr.. Warren notified the officers, and
the unfortunate man was taken to jail.
Sookeyjo was found at his home
asleep and Mores was captured In
down town saloon.
Mores' trial is set for tomorrow aft
ernoon.
Attorney Felix Lester represented
Sookeyjo in the trial this morning.
Brosius claims to have lost $50.
