The lei Paso Times has the following
to say of Uncle Josh Spruceby'.
Uncle Josh represented by David
Kennedy. is an old New England farm
er, who has a daughter who IS his
idol. She falls in love with a city
chan the william and partner or a
bunco man who does the old man for
$500 when he go es to New York TO
find his runaway daughter. There is
nothing exaggerated about Uncle Josh.
He represents the typical good-1atured
old farmer. who is honest with the
world and believes the world will be
honest with him. but finds to his sor-
row that it is not But his big heart
is willing at the last to forgive and
even aid to escape the man VINO
brought the only cloud into his happy
farm life
The sawmill scene was excellent.
The william chokes his wife. who has
deserted him on account of his wick
edness into insensibility and then lays
her across the log to meet horrible
death upon the saw, which is sure
saving wood while she is rapidly near
ing it. But Uncle Josh comes in Zine
to save her.
Incidental to the play several good
specialties were introduced by mem
bers of the company. All or these were
new and full of fun.
The company carries some excellent
musicians, the Rube band being an
especially pleasing feature. the must
clans furnishing music altogether out
of proportion to their appearance.

Cruz valley from the Southern racihc
to Santa Rita mountains.
The Experiment station here has no
direct connection with this reserve, al
though they have been carrying on
experiments in the same line for
about two years and they will prob
ably be called on for the results they
nave reached and these results will
largely determine the method to he
employed in restocking the range with
native grasses. Inc experiment sta.
ton already has a small reserve luat
north of the Southern Paci.c railroad,
a few miles east OF town. They have
been conducting experiments on this
36o.aCres tract for the past two years
and the success OF these experiments
was largely instrumental in securing
the reserve for the Santa Cruz valley
These experiments were begun some
time ago under DR.. Griffith. special
agent of the Department of Agriculture
who was stationed at the University
last year He threw up some small
dams on the lower side of the water
shed on the tract belonging to the
University and planted grass seeds COL
lected from the surrounding country.
After the rains, the water backed ND
on the land and kept 1t moist for some
time, The grasses grew well and photo
graphs were taken to show the result
OF the experiment. These were present
ed to the committee at Washington by
Professor Forbes, and DIR. Griffith, who
is now atrologer in the department,
also appeared before the committee
and told of the success of the expert
ment.
This year the experiment has been
carried out on much larger scale by
Professors ThornborO and Skinner
Two large dams about two feet in
height have been constructed across
the 36$ acres tract and a large amount
of seeu planted. This seed was collect
ed by Professors Skinner and Thorn
boro last September on a trip to the
Milestone mountains. They brought
back eight sacks of seek. the grslter

gait big brown bear.
"Ha," CALCULATED the bear, you are
my victim. Prepare for denhl"
The young woman was much alarmed
to hear the bear speak so unkindly. and
she began to beg for mercy, but it was Of
no avail. Then" said the young wo-
man. "Iet me confess my sins before l

To this the bear consented. and she be-

Good kensons why the Rivnl Band
IHd Not Win In the Contest.

IT once belonged to country band
when was n youngster," said the talka-
tive man. at was great sport and no
man has really lived unless he has be-
longed to such an organization at some
period in his life. There was, n great
rivalry between the band that ! was n
member OF and one that was located in
an adjoining town. When the rivalry
was at white heat, band contest was
held in a neghboring town. We were
both entered in the same class and only
asked for a free field and no favors.
Nov, the class that we were entered
in called for bands having at least six
teen members, and the best we could do
after securing the town for talent was
fifteen men who understood how to push
wind through brass Instruments and have
1t resemble music. We were in despair
until conceived happy idea. There
was an odd character living in the town
whom every one called George. He was
only half witted and had attached HIM
self to our band, making himself gener-
ally useful by carrying our music and
taking care OF our bandroom. My plan
was to fit him out with an instrument Sc
curely corked and trust to luck that the
deception would not be noticed.
but the plan proved most disastrous
one. A member of the rival band. seeing
the youth proudly carrying horn, mis-
trusted what we were UP to, and, getting
the boy aside, he discovered the cork and
pulled it out.
"When we started playing in the great
contest. / became aware Mt once that
some one was making horrible discords,
