Parenta worth Hnring.

Parents Worth Having.
Ny father and mother can never be
beat
They're the incest that ever were
made.
They remember the fun they had when
they were young,
And all of the games that they played.
And, better than all, they play with rs
themselves,
Yes, really and truly, they dol
Every night after dinner till bedtime has
come,
There's Willie and Burton and Prue,
And Alice-that's me-and my father
and mother
Enough for some royal good fun.
We play Blind Mans Buff and Hide-and-
Go-Seek,
You should see how my mother can
They don't either one of them mind be-
ing 'it,"
And they always are awfully fair.
We none of US think the games any fun
Unless all the players are Square"
And every new game we teach father
and mother;
They teach all the old ones to US;
90 we romp and we play, big and little
together,
With never a sign Of a fuss.
But sometimes a stranger man comes 10
our play
He creeps in so quiet and still
That we don't know he's here till we hear
deep sigh
From our littlest one-that Ia viii.
Then we know that the Sand Man has
Joined In our play
And Is trying to put US to sleep.
Then father and mother both kiss NJ
good night"
And away into Dreamland we creep.

Don't Complain

We all Of us complain of the short.
ness Of time, and yet have much more
than we know what to do with. Our
lives are spent either in doing moth
ing at all, or in doing nothing to the
purpose, or in doing something that
we ought not to do. We are ALWAYS
complaining that our days are faw
and acting as though there would be
no end to them.

People with good blood possess strong,
steady nerves and are blest with good
sppetites and digestion, and enjoy
sound, refreshing sleep. If we could
always maintain the purity of the
blood then we might enjoy perpetual
health, but it becomes infected and
poisoned and most of the ills that aflich
humanity and undermine the constitu-
ton are caused by an impoverished
or polluted condition of this vital fluid.
When the blood is diseased the skin
loses its healthy appearance, and the
complexion, its freshness and beauty
and becomes red and rough and full Of
pimples and splotches. itching, scalv
eruptions, blackheads, boils and rashes
break out upon the body when the

yards below the dam where the river
makes it's turn above the bridge, the
channel has been deepened and widen

the old dam is taken away will still
follow the old channel instead of cut

The dam will be concrete with a
twelve foot base slanting upwards to
a four foot rounded top and will be
several feet higher than the old dam.
The western side will be entirely new
but the eastern side will be built upon
the foundation of the old dam. A
spillway will be built on the western
side. About 600 barrels of cement will
be used.

Settlement Of Trouble Thought to

During Past Few Days.
TORESUME OPERATIONS
Preparations for Re-establishing Stock
Yards and Packing House Industry
at st. Louis.

st. Louis, Dec. 8-Preparations for
re-establishing the stock yards and
packing house industry on this side OF
the river and for launching an enter
prise which is regarded by stockmen
and packing house managers as an op-
ening move in the fight to settlement
between cattle raisers and the So
called beef trust" have been quietly
completed at St. Louis within the past
few days.
The Independent Stockyards Com
pany and the St. Louis Union Packing
Company, closely allied with the
Stockyards Company will be in opera
ton the first of the year. Both will
occupy the site of the old Union Stock
yards. The movement which has re-
suited in the formation of the inde-
pendent companies had its inception
in the protest of the cattlemen OF this
country, framed during the convention
in Kansas City to the effect that they
were not getting enough money for
their cattle. The so-called trust" they
said was the sole arbiter of the
market.

es against the three prisoners.

tory from Utah. District Attorney T.

u. S. FLAG
HAULED DOWN
Consul Davis Leaves AIexan-
dretta, Asiatic Turkey, on Ac-
count Serious Incident.
CONSUL ASSAULTED
Trouble Grew Out Of the Arrest Of an
Armenian Named Channes
Attarian.

Constantinople, Dec. S-The United
States flag over the consulate at Alex
andretta, Asiatic Turkey, has been
hauled down, and Consul Davis has
left the post for Beirut in conse-
uuence of serious diplomatic Incl
dent during which Davis was assault
ed and insulted by the local police.
The affair grew out of the arrest OF
an Armenian named Channes Altar
ian. a naturalized American citizen.
After spending several months in pris-
on, Attarian was released through the
agents, on the condition of his leav-
ing the country. Davis was accom-
panying Attarian on board steamer
when the police intercepted the par
ty, and assaulting Davis and re-arrest-
ing Attarian.
Davis Immediately broke off his re-
lations with the Turkish authorities
by quitting Alexandretta. He left the
consulate in charge of the vice con-
sui A mob Of moslems seized the oc-
casion to make hostile demonstration
against the consulate and against the
Christians generally. Local authori-
ties assert that Davis struck the po-
lice with his cane and his military
couriers attempted to rescue Attarian
from the police after he had been re-
arrested. They also claim that Altar
ian had been travelling about on an il
legal passport.
1t is believed that the fact that a
large sum of money was found on At
tartan at the time of his arrest con-
tributed to his arrest, the Turks sus-
pecting him of being revolutionist.
The matter is engaging the energetic
attention of the United States lega-
ton here. Minister Leishman made
urgent representations to the Porte. 1t

mill make strong effort to obtain

DISTRICT COURT
AT ALAM0G0RD0
A Somno1ent Teamster Astonished
the Court by Yelling for
His Team.

District Court convened at Alamo
gordo on Thursday of last week. The
docket is a large one and it is ex-
pected that the court will be in ses-
sion until December Is. Judge Frank
w. Parker in his charge to the grand
jury laid especial stress upon the ne
cessity of enforcing the Sunday clos
ing law, the law against carrying dead
ly weapons, the law requiring the at
tendance of children at school and the
law requiring justices of the peace to
make report of all fines collected.
An amusing incident occurred in the
court room on Thursday afternoon. A
teamster who came in from the log
ging camp in the Sacramentos fell
asleep and developed case of night
mare.
The court room was suddenly dis
turbed by some one yelling Whoa,
whoa!" in stentorian tones. Judge
Parker instructed the bailiff to take
the slumbering Jehu out for an airing.
The bailiff shook the fellow and ex-
planned to him that he had to leave
the court room. The latter, half
asleep yelled: Cant you wait until
l get my horses?" Even the digni-
fed court had to join in the laugh
that followed.
Every juryman, except Jose Duran,
who was out of the county was found,
but three failed to answer the sum-
mons, three were excused and spe-
cial venire was issued to complete the
panel.

POSTAL
FRAUDS
Senator German Opposed to the
Investigation Being Referred to
Committee on Resolutions.
WANTS ALL THE FACTS
Lower House Of Congress Also De-
mands All the Papers in
the Case.

Washington, Dec. 8-When the reso-
luton for the investigation of the
postofice frauds came up, German
took the floor and strongly opposed its
reference to the committee of resOlu-
tions. He declared that the majority
should not shrink from the investiga-
tion. There is said to have been pos
tive assertions that men who unlaw.
fully placed employees on the rolls
were to escape. Those who had been
accused had said that others higher
up were as guilty as they, while they
had been made the scapegoats.
Let us have all the facts" said
German, "and see if the President
will turn the rascals out"
Lodge, who made motion to refer
the resolution, stated that what Cor
man had said only further convinced
him that the resolution should be re-
ferred. The investigation made under
the order of the President, he believ-
ed had brought out all the facts. 1t
would be we'll for the Senate to first
examine the evidence to see If the in
vestigation had been thorough. Mel
son said that it would be impolitic to
take the evidence out of the postof-
fee department now and make it pub
lie. Such a procedure would furnish
the defendants with the papers OF the
department. and give them an oppor-
tunity to make a defense.
Til1man claimed that an attempt
was being made to whitewash the
frauds. Cullum cut short the discus
sion by insisting that the Cuban bill
had the right of way. Resolutions
went over until tomorrow and Teller
began speech in opposition to the
Cuban measure.
In the course of his remarks Sena-
tor Teller said that the legislation
was an attempt to strike down great
industry for the benefit of the sugar
trust. He said that the sentiment in
favor of the bill had been manufacture
ed in Cuba by General Wood.

offices and postroads reported reso-
luton authorizing the committee on
