IN PRAISE OF DAD.
Writer Thinks He 10 OF Some Import
ance Around the House.

We happened in a home the other
night and over the parlor door saw
the legend worked in letters of red,
"Whau is home without a mother
Across the room was another brief,
ICED bless our home"
Now, what is the matter with God
bless our dad?" He gets up early,
lights the fire, boils an egg, grabs his
dinner pail and wipes on the dew Of
he dawn with his boots while many a
mother is sleeping. He makes the
weekly hand-out for the butcher, the
grocer, the milkman and the baker,
and his little pile is badly worn before
he has been home an hour. He stands
or the bailiff and keeps the rent paid
up.
II there is q noise during the night
dad is kicked in the back and made to
go downstairs to find the burglar q
kill him. Mother darns the socks, but
dad bought the socks in the first place
and the needles and the. yarn after
ward. Mother does up the fruit; well,
dad bought it all, and jars and sugar
F cost like the mischief.
Dad buys the chickens for the Sun
day dinner, carves them himself n
| draws the neck from the ruins after
| every one else is served. What Is
home without q mother?' Yes; that
IS all right; but what is home with
out q father? Ten chances to n II
Is q clearinghouse. father is under
q slab and the landlady is . widow
Dad, here's to you; you've got your
faults-you may have lots OF 'em-but
you're all right, and we Will miss you
when you're gone.-Stevens County

There Is considerable shaking up Of
bossssm In republican party circles
Gays. There will % more in n
rms thing has commenced
and there will be no stopping IL for
awhiIe.s-New Mexican.
IL would seem from the above that
perhaps the newly appointed public
printer is hedging i'll h matter OF
buying the New Mexican and paying
$4,000 or some such matter there
fore. The idea of h N M. holding
such language unless something has
gone wrong with plans! My! What a
spectacle il would be TO really see the
New Mexican come out Independent
republican, and what a row it Will
create in the G. o. p. 1t would mean
disruption everywhere. There is al
ready a small revolution against the
bosses in Bernalillo county with 10Th
the albuquerque papers leading in
the revolt. San Miguel coun-
ty already has a well or
ganized Independent republican party
and now it looks like the New Mexican
was going to break out OF the ranks
and kick up a rumpus in Santa re
county. However, the above item Is
only the New Mexican's way OF tel
ling certain officials what is what
and Is a means OF bringing them to
time or compelling the carrying out
OF deals already made.
TOBACCO EXPERIMENT..
Under date of March 4th, s. Il. Ed
munds, an expert in tobacco culture,
of Cincinnati, Ohio, writes to the Com
mercial Club of Albuquerque, the fol-
lowing letter, which is of as much in
terest to Las Vegas as to the people
OF Albuquerque:
"Gentlemen:-I was very anxious
that the tobacco matter should be TAX
en- up early so as to test thoroughly
the raising of two crops of tobacco per
annum on the same land. You have
such a variety of climate that even
yet his may be done. ! am now trying
to get my business in shape to leave
here for your city between the 10Th
and 20th of this month to go over the
matter with you. will advise you
what date to expect me and think IT
would be a good idea if you would ask
the Commercial Clubs of Santa Fe and
Las Vegas and other points to have
representatives in your city to consid-
or the matter. am so much interest
ed and so confident of success that
am willing TO do all | a to further
the matter. | expect to bring my
brother with me, who is a practical
,obacco man. Yours truly,
e. S. EDMUNDS."
Secretary McCanna has announced
that the Commercial Club o take
IN the matter and communicate with
Las Vegas. Santa Fe and towns in the
valley al the next regular meeting to
he held Wednesday night.

Wilbor Tompkins and F. Walworth, for
instance, will find in the holiday issue
the most successful story each has
written this year.
In the December McClure's Magazine
there is a strong, poignant drawing Of
John Rockefeller, the Standard Oil
Magnate, whose methods are being so
mercilessly revealed in the same publi-
cation. The picture Is full Of human
interest. II is a profile, the profile of
hard old man, with Il cunning, point
ed chin, and a mouth closed tight like
leather pouch purse. A skull cap
covers the absolutely bald head. the
cheeks are hard as parchment. the eyes
deep-set. The ensemble is one almost
incredibly hard and cunning; and yet
from its contemplation it is not fear
or dislike that we feel as much as pity
In that visage there is no life. no
blood, no merrinent. II is a death
mask, a death-mask in whose rigid
lines are concealed cold, cruel calcu-
lating greed-and dread, dread almost
pitiful. There's a whole sermon in that
one-page picture Of George Varian.
The Criterion for December is among
the handsomest Of holiday issues. The
cover design drawn by John Cecil Clay
is in three colors and there are many
charming illustrations by well-known
artists. The magazine contains an un-
usual number of clever. entertaining
short stories covering a wide field Of
human interest, including "The Land
Where the Fairies Linger." by Nigel
Tourneur; Miss Lurella's Plum Pud-
ding" by aHrriet Prescott Spofford; !;
while the Kettle Boils." by Charles B.
/ Going; Confessions of a Hen" bv FL
! len p. Sherm7n; and "a Rebeilious
] Christmas Bell" by Elizabeth A. Moore
&c. There are special articles Of an
authoritative. independent oririnal ma
ture calculated to win and hold the at
tention Of every reader.
There are twenty-five items on the
coutents page OF the December Les
lies including. ten stories eight pages
Of most attractive color work and n
number OF excellent articles. among
which "The Degradation Of Wall
Street" stands re-eminent. The
Christmas flavor is DELIGHTFULLY."- sup
