BRONZE GRASS.
A Great Thing for cattlemen II II Will
Only Grow in New Mexico.

Reports received from homesteaders
cattlemen and others interested in
the development of the seml.arld lands
Of the west, show that splendid results
are being obtained from bronze grass.
The department of agriculture has
been experimenting for years to secure
some form Of forage plant or grass
that would grow in the regions where
the rainfall is light II has long been
the hope Of officials to secure some
grass OF this character that would
solve the public range problem and
they now express considerable conf.
dence that the problem is in n fair
way of being solved.
The bronze grass has been known
In Europe for more than century
its home being in Hungary where II
mas established a reputation for with.
standing severe droughts. In 1884 the
agents of the department of agricul.
ture secured seed of the grass and
began experimenting with II In this
country. The first efforts were not
very successful but In the last few
years better results have been secured
and there are now indications that It's
general adoption will spread rapidly
over the semi-arid regions. Kansas
has led In the experiments with the
new grass, more than one hundred
farmers and stock raisers having
planted considerable areas within the
last year. Reports from these sources
show that the grass grows rapidly and
luxuriantly and furnishes a pasture OF
wonderful value to the farmers In dry
regions All kinds OF stock eat II with
relish. and experiments show that II

A Wise Dogs Trick.

On guard in beautiful park at
Vichy is a Waterman, whose special
duty is to prevent dogs from running
over the beds and destroying the cost
ly flowers, says the Columbus Dis
patch He is armed with a large club,
which he hurls at any dog he Sees
and generally with such skill that the
animal goes off limping and bowling.
The other day a young dog, of no
particular breed, but as bold as lion,
determined to punish the Waterman
for his misdeeds, and as first step
he went boldly into the park and
squatted on a beautiful flower bed
right under the nose of the Waterman.
In the twinkling of an eye the club
was raised. and down it came, but,
instead of hitting the dog, it smashed
a rose tree laden with blossoms, and,
worse still, no sooner was it on the
ground than the dog gripped it with
his teeth and ran off with it at a gall
lop. After him the Waterman dashed
but only for few yards, since he is
somewhat corpulent and not used to
such violent exercise.
He procured a new club the next
day, but he does not throw it unless
he is absolutely sure of his aim, and
as the dogs take good care not to get
too near him, something like peace
rcigns once more in the beautiful park.

Right over there" said the old set
tier, according to the Chicago Tribune,
pointing with his cane. lis the place
where Gineral Washn'ton licked the
British Gineral Braddock in the Rev
olutionary War"
Surely you mistake" objected one of
the tourists. IF l have read history
correctly Gen. Braddock was defeated.
1t happened before the Revolutionary
War. Washington was in that battle,
but he was not a general and he was
defeated along with Braddock by a
force of French and Indians-mostly
Indians"
DO you mean to tell me- demanded
the old settler. that Gineral George
Washin'ton fit on the British side and
got licked here?''
Yes, only he was Col. Washington,
and he fought we'll and bravely. The
colonies had not rebelled against the
mother country then. and the trouble
was between England and France"
The old settler took him to one side.
Isn't that chap over there with the
side whiskers an Englishman?" he
asked.
NO; he's a New York banker
ANY Englishman in your crowd?"
No"
"Well, that makes a difference" re-
piled the old settler. "Of course 1
knowed George Washin'ton got licked,
but 1 wasn't goin' to admit it before
no Britisher"

At small dinner in Philadelphia re-
Gently the guest of honor was a young
married woman, formerly a resident of

the proud mother of two fine boys,
both under four years of age. In their
education she endeavors to follow a
system, like many. other young mothers,
and she is very careful to live up to
any rule she may have formulated for
them. During an early course in the
dinner, and in the middle of an animat-
ed conversation with her host. she sud-
denly ceased talking. Her face took
on a most startled expression. Then,
finding her voice, she exclaimed:
Mercy, I have forgotten those boys
again! May l use your telephone?"
She was taken to the phone by the
host. and the murmur of her voice in
most earnest conversation was waited
back to the dining room. After a short
time she returned.

TILLMAN PRAISED,

Senator Tillman received a letter
from Bishop Turner of the African
Methodist Church, during the delivery
of his speech on the race question in
the Senate this week. in which he was
praised very highly for his attitude
on that question. AS is we'll known
Bishop Turner believes there is only
one way to settle the race question,
and that is for the negroes to migrate
to the land of their ancestors. He has
been urging emigration to Africa for
many years, but he has never been
able yet to satisfy anybody either that
it is practicable or that the negroes
are willing to emigrate
And if it were practicable, and the
negroes should all find homes in At
RIGA, what would be their future !?
What has been the result of negro self
government in Hayti? Has not the
negro gone backward there? He GER
tainly has. The great majority of the
Hayi negroes are but little removed
from the negroes of the interior of
Africa, and Hayti is becoming a will
derness.
Bishop Turner thinks the course Sem
ator Tillman is pursuing will have the
effect of creating such a strong senti-
ment against negroes that they will be
| forced to leave this country. He does
not give the Senator credit. however,
| for desiring to settle the race question
in that way. Indeed, he does not give
him credit for desiring to do anything
| that would be helpful to the negro.
| He simply looks upon him as an in
| strument of Providence, selected to as
sist in furthering the Bishops emigra-
| ton scheme.
In the course of his letter the Bishop
says: Others of my race denounce
you in mass meetings and from the
lecture platform, but / shall praise
you and wish you Godspeed, for 1 be-
lieve you are serving a purpose of
Providence that but few are aware of
and even you do not realize" Provi-
dence works in mysterious ways, and
it may be, as Bishop Turner says, that
Senator Tillman is an instrument of
Providence in settling the race ques-
ton, but the probability is that the
Senator would abandon his job if he
thought he was not doing it all him
self.
