HAD it not been for the indie
pendent Republican county ticket,
Conejos county would have given
Peabody majority of from six to
seven hundred, as nine out Of ten
of the independent voters either
traded Peabody votes for votes for
some of their candidates or else
voted the Independent ticket
straight, leaving the national and
state ticket blank. And these are
the fellows who made the play
that the gang" intended turning
the county over TO Alva Adams
and that they, the independents,
were the only supporters Governor
Peabody had in the county.

stands as the most popular. man in

man been so highly honored by
his countrymen and in receiving a
plurality of 2,OOO.O00 votes in the

given a presidential candidate,
greater by 1,150,OG0 votes. He

Di.eontent with work.

That there is much discomfort with
work among the so called middle
classes in America is due in large part
to the pampering of children, to the
supplying Of their natural and artificial
wants and to the sentimental idea that
their day of toll will come soon
enough" In general, work is not
curse, but blessing-a positive means
of grace. One can hardly begin too
early to impress upon children lessons
of self help by tasks appropriate to
their age and forces and to beget in
them scorn of idleness and of depend
ence on others. To do this is to make
them happy through the self respect
that comes with the realization of pow
er and thus to approximate Tennyson's
goal of man. self reverence. self

With i'll concealed eagerness Mauville

attack, as if asserting his supremacy
and at the same time testing his man.
The buZzing switch of the steel be-
came angrer; the weapons glinted and
cleaned, INTERVIEWING silently and sep

features glowed, his movements be-
came quicker, and, executing a rapid
parry, he lunged with a thrust so
stealthy his blade was beaten down
only as it touched the soldiers breast.
Mauville suddenly followed his mo-

lunge from below. Involuntarily Barnes
looked away, but his wandering atten-

the lips of the land baron burst an eX-
