Where Men Eat TO Live.

ing to be necessary evil" says John
Ball Osborne in Lippincott's March
Magazine, 'and curtail it to such ii de-
gree that one step further would be
suicide. Dinner, 10 which scarcely ID
minutes Is devoted, consists of mess
of vegetables boiled in water without
butter or salt and served in crude
earthenware bowl, u Slice or two of
rye bread without butter, and a mug
of milk or water as a beverage. Sup
per is the barest apology for a meal,
being nothing more than bread and
water. The guest-master did not D:en-
ton breakfast: if there be such meal,
it probably consists merely of glass
of water. A slight rela Xation of this
dietary is allowed to invalids, who
may have two eggs day, while on
extraordinary occasions, such as flu
neral feast in honor of departed friar
the monks revel in an egg apiece. They
are strict vegetarians, and Il Trappist

the candidates on the ticket are men
well known through the country,
Men who are able to oil the position

district Is agent for the Arizona &
New Mexico road at Lordsburg. lie

Robinson is a graduate OF Yale. II Is
doubtful II there is another county 10

Yale graduate for the office Of superin
tendent OF schools. The candidate
for sheriff, Chas. 4. FarnswOrth, has
long been an active business man 10
SilyerCity. He Is well acquainted
through the country, and when elect
ed will be sheriff, not an employee Of
any cattle growing combination, as
has been the ease In former years.
A. S. Goodell, candidate for treasurer,
has served the county well for the
past two years as sheriff. He took the
sAerlfs office out Of the cattle COM

An unknown man was recently
found dead over on the plains Of Dona
Ana county. He evidently had been
dead for some months, and probably
died during the cold weather, for he
had on two suits Of clothes. In his
pocket was found a memorandum
book given u by the Eagle drug
mercantile COMPANY, Of Lordsburg,
which contained a calander for 1900
aud 1901. On one Of the pages evi.
dently had been kept a time account
for the month of August which
showed that "Bill Norris" Dan Nc
Carthey," and Jack Picket" had
worked on the arst three days OF the
