QUICK TIME IN PockET.PIcklNe.
Incident Of tho Rowery Which Is Bot
Strange and True.

Incident Of the eowery Which Is Both
Strange and True.
This occurrence, improbable as it
may seem, actually happened in this
city. + =,
A certain large pawnbrokerage
house which has number of separate
places OF business employs an expert
accountant to examine its accounts
once a month. The accountant has a
fine gold repeater and stop watch
which was given to him by his faith
er and for that reason is valued by
him at even more than it's intrinsic
value.
This accountant, who lives in Brook
lyn, went to the pawnbrokers the
other day from his home. He crossed
the 10th street ferry and reached the
BoWery on cross-town car, walking
the rest of the distance to the store.
Instead of passing through the pri-
vate hall to the rear Office, as he does
usually, he entered the section where
the loans are made. AS he passed
through the door he encountered a
young man who was rushing out in
such hurry that he almost knocked
down the accountant. Behind the
counter one Of the clerks was laugh
ing and holding something in his hand.
"What's the joke?" the accountant
asked him.
Why" answered the clerk, that
fellow who just rushed out wanted SO
on this watch. He said he had bought
it for $40. The watch is worth $3.50,
so I told him to wait a minute until
could call up the police and find out
where he had got it for that insig-
ni6cant sum. You saw how he wait
ed"
"Let me see that watch" said the
accountant.
He looked, then clapped his hand
on his watch pocket. The pocket was
empty.
That's my watch" he said, and
opening the case showed to the clerk,
no less surprised than was the &C.
countant, the inscription his father
had engraved on the inside cover,
The thief had picked his pocket
probably in the crowded little car,
and had rushed to the pawnbroker's,
beating him there by only q minute
or two.-New York Sun. ~

Cattle at Odebort, Iowa.


The Iowa Agricultural College Is
carrying on some elaborate expert
ments in cattle feeding at the Brook
mont farm at Odebolt, Iowa. The
farm furnishes. the animals feed and
labor and builds yards, sheds, and
water tanks according to the plans
furnished by the experiment station.
The station determines the different
! lines of feeding to be followed, di.
vides the cattle into suitable lots and
details representative to take con-
troll of the work. At the completion of
che experiment, the data obtained Is
taken by the experiment station for
publication and the animals are re-
turned to the control of the farm
which markets them. Five hundred
steers and five hundred hogs are now
being fattened on the farm in these
cooperative experiments. Three tests
are being made in fattening steers, as
follows: Acclimatization test, light
and heavy ration test, supplementary
feeds test.
In the acclimatization test fifty
head of southern steers are fed in one
lot and fifty head of western steers
in a second lot. Each lot is fed all
the corn and wheat straw they will
eat. The object OF this experiment. is
to determine from what section of the
country Iowa farmers will find it most
profitable to buy steers to be fat
tened.
Three lots of fifty steers each are
fed In the light and heavy ration test,
All lots are fed all the wheat straw
they will eat. The maximum daily
ration of the first lot will be 16 Tbs. of
corn per steer, of the second lot 20
lbs. OF corn per steer, and of the third
lot "a lbs. Of corn per steer The OBJ
ject is to determine whether light,
medium or heavy feeding of grain to
fattening steers will give the greatest
gains for feed consumed and the most
profit.
In the supplementary feeds test five
lots Of fifty steers each are fed. All
lots are fed. al the wheat straW l.as they Ihl,
will eat. For grain ration lot one is
fed corn alone, lot two corn and lin
seed meal, lot three corn and cotton
seed meal, lot four corn and Gluten
feed, and lot five corn and blood meal.
the latter containing 81 per cent pro-
tein.
The object Of this test is to deter
mine the effect in fattening steers of
supplementing corn with a feed rich
in protein and also to test the in
fuences in gains and quality of flesh
of the different protein feeds At the
close of the feeding the 500 head will
be shipped to Chicago and a slaughter
test made e5with each lot by some lead
ing packing house. In every lot one
hog is kept for each steer to test the
value of the droprings.

TEACHERS THAT ARE
AND TEACHERS THAT WERE

This little piece is about school
teachers. : 1 visited the school the 9th
er day and was greatly impressed by
their smiling faces and kind ways.
Anyone who went to school twenty
years ago must notice the same thing.
That was about the time they were
beginning to get along, in the more
advanced localities, without the harsh
er forms of punishment. Yet nearly
every grown man can probably recall
some school where the hickory" or
"gad" was considered as necessary an
adjunct to teaching as the school
house itself. Do you think pleas
ant-faced, sunny-tempered young wo-
man could have secured school in
those days. OF course not They
wanted some man who would give n
boy about 40 lashes for turning around
in his seat or some sour-tempered
muscular woman who would pull a
child's ear nearly off for misspelling
word Teachers capable of inflict-
ing torture seem to have been in de-
mand. | thought when a boy that a
teacher or parent licked child
because they got mad. and were big
ger. and could do it. | hold to this
opinion still. If you had told one OF
the country educators in any of the
middle states when that was pion.
eer country that love was the great
est thing in the world. they would
have thought you crazy. But it is
not pleasant to dwell on these things.
Teachers have probably always been
as good as the parents who hired
them, and the parents themselves
were in those days long" on corporal
punishment.
] looked into room filed with lit
tie boys and girls. OF course they all
turned round to see who 1t was They
were not afraid and no damage was
done. Twenty years ago they would
have turned around just the same, but
they would. in many cases, have suf-
fered the consequences. A child
turns around thoughtlessly. They
can't help 1t. The most of them would
probably turn around no difference
how great the punishment, for they
do 1t before they think. They are too
little to live under iron-clad rules fit
only for Spartan. And the young
women who teach them know this.
They also know that learning cannot
be scared into child nor pounded
in, and they don't try.
They know, too, that smile is a
potent force-thut little smile is bet
ter than dozen frowns. 1t may be
that some Of them are forced-or that
looking pleasant is very much habit.
However that may be. 1t is good one.
No one would suppose that all teach
er's smiles are from pure delight. for
they have .numberless vexations. But

JUST A COMPARISON.

AS we write this item we have be-
fore us the Albuquerque Citizen OF
last Thursday, Friday and Saturday
regarded as the most enterprising pa,
per in New Mexico and 1t does lead
every publication with a large cir
culation. 1t Is a seven-column, eight
PACED paper. Now to the point Not
one of the three issues contains as
much reading matter as published any
day in the week in The Herald. The
most reading matter in any one paper
is ~ columns and that down to nine.
The rest OF the space. an average OF
&c columns, is occupied with live al
vertising. About every business
house in Albuquerque. and there are
two to three times as many there as
in Durango, is represented in the col
umns of the paper. The rates for al
vertising are higher by far than Dn-
range. Thus we find the Citizen en-
joying &c columns of goodpaying
ads while we peg along with 10 to IL
columns outside of railroad ads and
at the same time publishing fully as
much news each afternoon. Is 1t any
uphill work with less than one-third
the patronage extended the same class
Of papers in other cities? Durango
firms. barring one or two, do not spend
one-fourth as much for advertising as
in most other places with the same
class OF publications. OF course In
this connection we will admit tina. a
surp, is of papers. with boycotts and
new s,japer wars. has had bad effect
on advertisers and caused many to
withdraw patronage. II is not ont of
place. however, to state that Durango
is the poorest newspaper town in the
west and papers have a harder time
that is, taking them as whole. 1t
is only truth to say that Durango pa
pers are 100 per cent ahead of the
town. In Grand Junction. with more
business houses and live point, all
the papers combined do not publish
as much news as any one Durango
daily.
The above remarks are called to
mimi by casual glance at our ex-
change table. And they furnish much
food for thought.

SOUTHWEST CLIPPINGS.

Last Sunday at Sunetha, four miles
west OF Pagosa Springs, a little boy
fell on the platform OF the coach while
the train was in motion, with the re-
suit that the boy has but one foot
and one hand left. A number OF boys
had been playing on the cars and were
warned several times by the crew,
but the warnings were not needed.
Gonzales tried to jump off while the
train was In motion. but instead OF
getting of on the side he fell over
the end and the coach went over him.
He was dragged quite distance be-
fore his cries were heard. When the
train was stopped he was fast between
the trucks and was extricated with
