J. r. Robertson Disappeared From His
Home and Has Not Been
Heard From.

j. II. Robertson, an employee of the
street car company has been missing
from home for three days past and his
family and friends are very uneasy
about him. They have requested the
police to look for him and the officers
have description of the man.
He left home three nights ago and
Gid not say that he was going to re-
main any time. consequently the off,
GERS and the friends of the man are
puzzled to know what has become of
him.
Mr.. Robertson Is man about thirty
years of age and about five feet six or
eight inches in height, rnd of light
complexion with a light moustache.
When the street car company opened
its line about a year ago he ran as a

new shops which that company is now
constructing in this city.
About Two weeks ago he again en-
tered the service OF the street car com
pany. and day before yesterday drew
what money there was coming to him
and has not been seen since. As he is
man of very good habits and not
given to staying out at night, his wife

run across the man. and would be

garding him.-Isl Paso Herald

The reports which were published in
two Denver papers yesterday to the
effect that the Colorado & Southern
employees had refused to run trains
over the road out OF Trinidad and had
given up their positions rather than
to 90 so. are entirely incorrect, says n
Trinidad Ditpatch.
The Colorado G Southern road has
suffered seriously OF late In this part
OF the country from attempted hold
ups and wrecks. In the matter 90 hold
ups the railroad employees have &C
quilted themselves nobly and have re-
ceived commendation from their SUI

frequent. and one in particular. which
occurred a few weeks ago out OF Trim
dad on Christmas eve. was horrible
disaster, not only in the great loss of
property to the company. but the lees
of life was Unprecedented.
Someone had to be responsible for
these wrecks and there have been
many changes made in the railroad
employees in the last few weeks. but
so far as is known not a man has left
the company service on his own free
will, and for every vacancy which
the management saw 1T to create there
have been twenty to twenty-five appli.

sEcRErARY's REPORT.
Large increase in the Number Of Char.
tiers Granted.

The report of Territorial Secretary
j. w. Reynolds for the calendar years
1901 and 1907. mas oeen submitted TO
Governor Otero and in IL are important
recommendation for changes In the
existing laws. The secretary says as
the law requires him to canvass the
vote for members of the legislature
from districts composed OF more than
one county and issue a certificate of
election. the office should be informed
as to who are nominees and the lcgis-
lature should take such action as will
require the county committees to for.
ward to the office before election day a
ce. tilted list of the nominees for the
several Offices.
The greatest volume of business
transacted in any one portion of the
department is from the filing OF lncor-
poration papers. The two years Just
closed show a material and encourag-
ing increase, During 1899 and 1900
there were formed 207 companies with
an aggregate authorized capitalization
Of $l39. SAB 500, or an average OF 1915.
600 for each company. The fees collect
ed for the territory amounted to sl1.-
1876. During the years 1901 and 1902
there were filed 1856 charters with an
aggregate capitalization OF $3.50. 3ilS.-

each company, The Cling fees were

per cent o,.er the fees for the two pre-.
ylous years.
The incorporation law Is liberal and
invites outside capital to incorporate
In New Mexico. One Of the most attrac-
tive features Is that corporations pay
no annual or franchise tax In this ter
ritory. The law relating 10 filing fees
as passed in 1899 is unbusinesslike and

CHAPTER ".
A LESSON IN DANCING.

I laughed heartily when Jane told me
Of the tilt between Brandon and Princess
Mary, the latter of whom was in the
habit Of saying unl1ind things and being
thanked for them.
Brandon was the wrong man TO saw
them TO, as Mary learned. He was NOT
hot-tenpered: in fact. just the reverse
but he was the last man to brook an af-
front and the quickest TO resent. in a
cool-headed. dangerous way, an inten-
tional offense.
He respected himself and made others
do the same, or seem 70 do so, at least
He had no vanity-which is but an inordi-
nate desire for those qualities that bring
seif-respect. and often the result of con-
scious demerit-but he knew himself. and
knew that he was entitled to his own
good opinion. He was every inch man,
strong intelligent and brave TO temerity,
with a reckless disregard Of consequences
which might have been dangerous had IT
not been tempered by dash of prudence
and caution that gave him ballast.
was not surprised when / heard Of the
encounter; for I knew enough of him to
be sure that Mary's high-handedness
would meet it's counterpart in my cool
friend Brandon. 1t was, however, an un-
fortunate victory, and what all Mary's
